Fuck the Neo Nazi Right
I am no defender of religion. I think religion is a tool used to manipulate. That however is my personal opinion. I will however strongly say the shooting in Fort Hood had about as much to do with all of Islam as the assassination of Dr Tiller had to do with Christianity.

Sweet Fanny Adams. Extremism and craziness.

The British Nazi Party are trying the trick of demonizing Islam for $$$s. Some on the right are now using this as a stick to beat Muslims with. This includes Neo Nazi supposed former Democrats such as Darra$h Murphy and Larry Johnson.

Manipulative scum abusing national tragedies got us to where we are now. Please slap down Nazi propaganda. Unlike the stupid tea partyers - this is serious.

"The military has a tendency to demonize the enemy, and Muslims are on the receiving end of that hostility," said Hammad, a Palestinian American who served in the Marines from 1990 to 1994.

Hammad heard his faith disparaged dozens of times during his four years of duty. There were battle cries like "Kill ragheads," and "Let's go Muslim hunting."

These are not easy times for U.S. military personnel of the Muslim faith or Middle Eastern heritage.

According to some Muslim soldiers and sailors, the invasions and occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq -- along with the hostility many Muslims have felt directed against them in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks -- are taking their toll on Muslims in the military.

Hammad, who was born in the United States, has a younger brother now in the Marines and an older sibling in the Texas Air National Guard.

"Nobody wants to talk about it," Hammad said, "but it's getting progressively worse."
