On the planet where rightists and tea-partiers live, “Muslims” are engaged in an undifferentiated jihad against the West; all are guilty until proven innocent. On the planet where some lefties and liberals live, “Muslims” in the West are terribly offended by the U.S. and NATO making war against “Muslims,” which leads to tragedies like the massacre at Fort Hood.

On Earth, the planet where we all actually live, Muslims are voluntarily fighting Muslims every day. And in Afghanistan, some who would very much prefer to be free of Taliban thuggery and violence are taking up arms against it. So in the case of Major Nidal Malik Hasan, it all comes down to which Muslims one chooses to support.
