Debbie does jihad

Thanks to Mano, we now have the source (or at least an early spreader) of the "Cho-as-Muslim" meme: dollar-store Ann Coulter knockoff Debbie Schlussel. Apparently the post that Mano linked to was too stupid even for Schlussel's low standards, and has been removed. But there's plently of other prejudice and vitriol. I blush with embarrassment that she is a fellow Michigander and U-M grad (and at my comment at Mano's: apparently she does NOT write regularly for the Detroit News/Free Press).

In these times, one has to consider the possibility of terrorism, in the same way that one would consider the possibility that it was a psych drug reaction, as most school shootings have been. But that doesn't make it so, in either case, and to stretch circumstantial evidence to fit prejudice makes one look bad, and would certainly make any peaceful Muslim in this country feel threatened.
