As soon as the name Nidal Malik Hasan hit the web, the right-wing blogosphere erupted.

Muslims should be banned from the U.S. military, the bloggers shouted, in capital letters.

Muslims should be banned from America!! People with Islamic names should be evicted from the White House!!!

Hasan’s personal details are, of course, irrelevant to any portrayal of Muslims as a group.

Those who would use the tragedy of Fort Hood as a justification of hate are compounding the tragedy.
