'It Would Be a Shame If Our Diversity Became a Casualty as Well'

According to jammiewearingfool.com:

Actually, the shame is we have so many casualties because of our obeisance to diversity.

A top Army official warned Sunday morning that the bloody shooting at Fort Hood could cause a backlash against Muslim soldiers.

"Frankly, I am worried," said U.S. Army chief of staff George Casey. "It would be a shame -- as great a tragedy as this was -- it would be a shame if our diversity became a casualty as well."

Some have speculated that Nidal Malik Hasan, the alleged gunman who killed 13 people and wounded 30 more on Thursday, acted out of revenge for fallen Muslims during the American war on terror.

"I worry that the speculation could cause something that we don't want to see happen," Casey told CNN.

Yes, let's just ignore the mountain of evidence and keep our heads in the sand.

God forbid we offend somebody.

Some 3,500 self-declared Muslims serve in the US armed forces. Experts suggest there are actually many more closeted Muslims in the armed forces who are afraid to openly declare their faith.

How many of them are time bombs like this maniac Hasan?

One also wonders whether we'd be hearing about diversity if the killer was a pro-life Christian?

Here's a simple test: If Nidal Malik Hasan had been a devout Christian with pronounced anti-abortion views, and had he attacked, say, a Planned Parenthood office, would his religion have been considered relevant as we tried to understand the motivation and meaning of the attack? Of course. Elite opinion makers do not, as a rule, try to protect Christians and Christian belief from investigation and criticism. Quite the opposite. It would be useful to apply the same standards of inquiry and criticism to all religions.

That might actually entail some diversity of thought.

I guess because of diversity we were too afraid to even confront Hasan. Now we have 13 victims dead becasue of diversity.
