Is it bad that the first thing I thought of when I heard the Ft. Hood shooter's name is, "oh great, another backlash against Muslims and Middle Easterners is imminent?"

Just waiting for the "let's purge all Muslims, and especially converts, from the military!!" comments on conservative blogs.

I made almost the same exact comment at breakfast this morning. Aside from the horror at the tragedy itself, I am definitely worried about backlash. Uggh.

me too, and they proved me right - the article i was reading which listed his name - the very first comment was about this.

I had to turn off the news/blogs because of it.

I read this post earlier. Then a few seconds ago and saw that a facebook "friend" had posted something about the shooter being Muslim. Made me cringe.
