The Stupidity Over Fort Hood Gets Louder

Today's contestant: David Warren (emphasis mine):

This deadly enemy of the West -- the Islamist ideology which holds all Jews, Christians, other non-Muslims, and a considerable number of Muslims, too, to be human filth in need of extermination -- is well infiltrated. Events like that at Fort Hood prove this, and from what I can see, the problem can only grow with the passage of time.

Getting at Islamist cells, to say nothing of lone, self-appointed jihadis within our society, means getting over the false sentimentality that turns a terrorist incident into an "incomprehensible tragedy" when it is not incomprehensible, and not a theatrical event.

It also means ripping through the politically-correct drivel that is put in the way of investigators. They should surely be allowed to assume that every loyal Muslim will be eager to give information to help them identify any potential killers in their midst.

We'd be better off confronting that Islamist enemy, than spraying perfume after each fatal strike.

Yep, let's just assume that any American Muslim who would be insulted by his or her countrymen assuming they are terrorist sympathizers until proven otherwise is actually guilty of something.

Why stop there? If they are not eager to point the finger at other jihadists terrorists that they must be aware of, we should separate them from the rest of American society. Now is not the time for pesky Bill of Rights garbage, after all that was assumed to be given up when they became the Muslim Enemy.

We'll have to hold them for a while before we can interrogate all of them, so we must brace for the long haul. So sayeth Our Lady Of Perpetual Internment, so sayeth us all, right?

Snark aside, I love how the people accusing President Obama of being the most vile totalitarian fascist to ever walk the Earth are the same folks who think it's a perfectly acceptable idea to segregate millions of Americans from the general population, assume they are guilty, and question their loyalty because of course the innocent ones have nothing to hide.
