From what I can tell from listening to the legacy media, Maj. Hasan's religion apparently had nothing to do with his murderous rampage. You know, despite the whole "Allahu Akbar" "shout out" as we was going about killing people.
Quick thought experiment: Imagine his name was "Sullivan," or some such, that he was a devout Roman Catholic, that his TV was tuned to Fox News, that he'd attended a couple of "Tea Party" protests, and that his bookshelf had books by, oh, Glenn Beck, Anne Coulter, and/or Rush Limbaugh. With that in mind, imagine what the coverage would be like. Imagine, in such circumstances, the President asking us not to jump to conclusions. Imagine Chris Matthews telling us it was unclear whether religion was a factor.
