What happened yesterday at Ft. Hood, outside of Killeen, Texas, is nothing short of reprehensible. It is an act which has no excuse: no matter what your view on the military in general or US policy in particular, nothing can justify such outlandish and wanton disregard for human life.
But two things can, and indeed must, be recognized about the dastardly attack by one of our own against our own. First, it is an attack perpetuated by a disillusioned individual, and nothing more.
Second, it cannot be used as an attack on Islam. Again, we must stress that it was committed by an individual who did not want to do what he was told. Read no more into than than that. And be happy that it was not worse as we pray for the victims and their families.
