I understand what you are saying. I guess that my observation is that if, as I mentioned above, it had been a Catholic (and I'm not Catholic) that there wouldn't be hesitation to say that "extreme right-wing Christians" should be watched. Because it is not PC to identify the Muslim religion today we're going around making blanket statements like the one you just did about *all* religions.
This time around, *all* religions did not have a direct connection to what was done. But we can't say that in today's PC, don't-offend-our-enemies climate.
If the election was supposed to be 'proof' to the world that we're not renegade cowboys like Bush, then why was the Ft. Hood murderer not appeased? And why are those who laud him overseas not saying, "No, no - we don't encourage that behavior now because they got a new President and we like him and America!"
