Newsweek’s Evan Thomas and NPR’s Nina Totenberg “cringe” that murder Nidal Malik Hasan is a muslim

malik_nadal_hasanInstead of feeling “empathy” for the families of the loved ones lost by this crazy, murdering muslim jihadist, liberals are now more concerned about the fact that Nidal Malik Hasan is a muslim and that label attached to him, it will get the right wing going. Newbusters has the follow audio clip:

On this weekend’s Inside Washington, Thomas, now Editor at Large with Newsweek after stints as Assistant Managing Editor and Washington bureau chief, rued:

I cringe that he’s a Muslim. I mean, because it inflames all the fears. I think he’s probably just a nut case. But with that label attached to him, it will get the right wing going and it just — I mean these things are tragic, but that makes it much worse.

NPR’s Nina Totenberg soon chimed in with agreement: “It really is tragic that he was a Muslim.”
