American Muslims To Fort Hood Shooter: 'Thanks A Lot, Asshole'

The title of this post is borrowed from a very funny/sad, Onion article regarding the tragic incident that took place at Fort Hood, TX.

Here 's the article published on Onion's website on November 12, 2009:

FORT HOOD, TX—Following Army psychologist Nidal Malik Hasan's shooting rampage on the Fort Hood military base last week that left 13 people dead and 30 others injured, fellow Muslims across the nation sent him a message today, saying "thanks a fucking bunch, asshole," to the 39-year-old killer. "Hey, great, eight years of progress right down the shitter," St. Cloud, MN resident Zahida Naseem said at one of dozens of impromptu rallies held nationwide. "And you just had to scream 'Allahu Akbar' while you did it, didn't you? May as well have put on a turban and rode a fucking camel right through the army base, you dick. Thanks for making the foreseeable future a living hell for normal, peace-loving Muslims in this country. Really appreciate it!" American Sikhs are also reportedly enraged with Hasan, and an official statement from the National Sikh Heritage Center read, in part, "look, we got nothing to do with that guy."

I cannot even BEGIN to understand how an educated man justifies murdering 13 people in cold blood. But maybe it's a good thing that I don't understand...

Thanks a lot a$$hole for ruining it for all the rest of us. As if the fear that spread through the Muslim community after 9/11 wasn't bad enough. Now any young man or woman who wants to fight for their country will be looked as a potential psychopathic God-crazy killer.

May God guide all of us to a righteous and peace loving path. Amen.
