Homeland chief warns against anti-Muslim backlash

(AP) – 15 hours ago

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — The U.S. Homeland Security secretary says she is working to prevent a possible wave of anti-Muslim sentiment after the shootings at Fort Hood in Texas.

Janet Napolitano says her agency is working with groups across the United States to try to deflect any backlash against American Muslims following Thursday's rampage by Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, a Muslim who reportedly expressed growing dismay over the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The shootings left 13 people dead and 29 wounded.

Napolitano was in the United Arab Emirates on Sunday for talks with security officials and a meeting with women university students in Abu Dhabi.

I dunno, maybe after a Muslim extremist kills 13 Soldiers while disguised as an Army officer, Secretary Napolitano might start trying to prevent anti-American sentiment...

Upon reflection, I wonder how the secretary intends to prevent sentiments? Perhaps the thinkpol will be on the lookout for crimethink at the next Tea Party where the dangerous gun-owning, government doubting, Bible-reading Veterans assemble.
