Muslim organizations and the people who run them in the US should be ashamed of themselves for what they have done to add to the misery and discrimination Arabs and Muslims face in the United States of America.
These sad and bankrupt organizations are always the first to condemn any tragedy that happens here or anywhere for that matter ,when the perpetrator(s) are of the Muslim faith or are Arabs or of Arabic heritage.
Their actions are responsible for the continued discrimination against us .Instead of issuing condemnations of crimes that take place ,and make it look as if being Arab or Muslim ,is the reason for committing the crime ,they should have a back bone and either shut up or take the stand that will challenge the right wing and the system in the United States and make it clear to them that Islam and or Arabs are not reasons crimes take place.
No human being should condom the killing of people any where and that's why we should all be shocked to see crimes such as the one committed by Nidal Hasan take place .
crimes always take place and by people who for whatever reason(s) commit them ,and we all should take a clear stand against these crimes ,but the Muslim and Arab organizations in this country should not be waiting for crimes carried on by Muslims and or Arabs to take place so they can be the first to condemn them ,but their job should be to combat racist acts and rhetoric that is taking place on daily bases and with no challenge .
Since the first second media outlets in the US learned that Hasan was a Muslim ,they started attacking the religion and those who believed in it and the condemnations by Muslim and Arab groups did nothing but add fuel to these racist attacks on us .
This should be clear to those organizations,becaues this always happen .And even though some Jason Rodriguez went into his old work offices in Orlando Florida and started shooting and killing people there ,media outlets said nothing about this guys religion and it's role in having him commit this outrageous crime nor did Christian organizations issued any condemnations even though no one group in the history of the world committed more crimes than Christians .
So why these Muslim and Arab organizations keep doing this ?
Go figure

Thank you for saying exactly what I have been thinking. I wonder if the willingness to so quickly condemn tragic figures like Major Hasan, without asking the questions that must be answered regarding just why he committed this act, comes from a fear of having to confront the powers that be - these organizations claiming to represent Muslims are afraid to speak truth to power. I have asked again and again, why is the media, and why is the investigation, focusing on Hasan and Islam, and not Hasan and the army, or Hasan and mental illness? why is it that we are always being called upon to defend Islam (in other words, why is it always blamed for things like this)? Why are these organizations so afraid to speak for Islam, and speak against the way we are treated in the media and by the US government?
You are absolutely correct; the Rodriguez shooting actually faded into obscurity although it was almost identical to the Hasan incident. Ostensibly, the military setting is a factor in the persistence of this story, but again and again the actual focus is on Islam and the implications that either the religion itself motivated Hasan, or that he is actually a "jihadist" (I hate that word, it makes no sense) doing the work of al Qaeda.
