If a man goes out to shoot a politician whose policies he doesn’t like then in America he is likely to be insane. If a man goes out to shoot members of an ethnic or other group he doesn’t like, then in America (unless perhaps he’s an Islamist terrorist), he is considered a terrorist or someone committing a hate crime.

But in the Middle East, people are almost considered insane if they do NOT do these things (…)

I have not yet heard that the murderer in Tucson chanted, “Rush Limbaugh Akhbar!” even once.
