Media Narrative on Ft Hood Shooting Takes Shape

Hasan's Muslim faith had nothing, nothing I say! to do with it.

Here's an example of "It's stress because the military is on the brink of collapse" meme.

Hasan's Muslim faith could have had nothing to do with his actions, but pointing out the guy was a Muslim must be Islamophobia.

President Prissypants says we shouldn't "jump to conclusions"  From Ace of Spades HQ:

Funny but he was willing to reach conclusions within hours of the murder of abortionist George Tiller. Interestingly, it took Him 2 days to issue a statement when a Muslim terrorist killed a soldier at an Army recruitment office in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Seems some incidents call for restraint and others call for immediate conclusions.

Also, compare and contrast the media reaction.

Immediately Tiller's murder an act of domestic terrorism (here, here and here for just a few examples. Warning: liberal sites).

Yep.  An abortionists murder was immediately an act of domestic terrorism.  Hasan's act of murdering US servicemen while shouting "Allahu Akbar!" was simply that of a stressed out individual.

Nope.  No evidence of a Jihadi in actionNone at all.

At least six months ago, Hasan came to the attention of law enforcement officials because of Internet postings about suicide bombings and other threats, including posts that equated suicide bombers to soldiers who throw themselves on a grenade to save the lives of their comrades.

ADDED:

I like this headline from The Jawa Report:

AP Unclear What Motivated Devout Muslim Shouting "Allahu Akbar" to Kill
