Dan: I think the word you’re looking for is Hebe, right? Being Catholic sort of eliminates the whole Jewish angle for me.
Pri: I think we’re getting into protocol and punctilio here as far as what constitutes a terrorist. Once you connect all of the dots in Hasan’s personal life, it goes from mass murder to terrorism, or a “terroristic act” (better?). Using hate crime guidelines, we’d certainly have crossed the threshold by now.
Russ: If you need extra money, you should consider writing ad copy for the “al-Qaeda Qourier”. You can rail about “indoctrination” all you want, but you have zero ability to see any viewpoint other than America has victimized the world and all its occupants. Why you continue living in a country that so violates all of your beliefs is beyond me. You might also consider academia. You’d fit right in there. Ferdinand de Saussure, anyone?
