So the lesson of Ft. Hood is that a Christian soldier with a mental illness should create sympathy,

but mental illness in an Islamic soldier should create hate and fear?

Got it.

The Christian soldiers motives for a shooting are still being investigated, but the Islamic soldier is clearly motivated by terrorism......no need to investigate further.

Speaking of mental illness, believing in an Earth 7,000 years old despite no evidence to support that, but massive evidence to the contrary, that is not a mental illness?

Actually M$Greedia was so hoping for another hate and fear orgy that they paused for a few minutes from the Ft270NN coverage and showed us the Islamic soldier over and over hoping for another one.

Then quickly they went back to plane coverage - nothing exciting here.

No network ratings and ad revenue to be had from this. Let's go back to airplane fear porn about black holes and space aliens instead.
