Blaming Islam for some extremist crackpot with brain damage makes as much sense as blaming Christianity for McVey, Roeder, and so forth.

I am a U.S. military veteran, and I am extremely outraged at what Hasan did.

But the problem is extremism. And one of my Facebook friends has been posting things like "Nuke 'em!".

Oh really? So someone is calling for us to vaporize cities because some religion is prevalent there, which figured into some extremist crackpot's brain damage. As an American citizen, and as a military veteran, I am very embarrassed that there are countrymen who think this way.

I pray for the victims, as well as their families. I also pray for anyone experiencing the backlash of hatred I've already been seeing in less-responsible venues. And I thank God that we live in a constitutional secular democratic republic, with cooler heads at the helm than those screaming hate on facebook pages, blogs, and what-have-you.

Thanks, had to get that off my chest.
