So the Ft Hood shooter is from Puerto Rico...

In Puerto Rico, the dominant faith is Catholicism.

You think the professional Muslim-haters will even mention this?

The anti-Hispanic racists will bring up his ethnicity, Megyn Kelly at Faux "news" already has.

Mention it, that is.

/just sayin...



edit: Oh, you edited while I was posting. Here's the original OP:

So the Ft Hood shooter is from Puerto Rico...

In Puerto Rico, the dominant faith is Catholisism.

So it's a good bet the shooter is Catholic.

You think the professional Muslim-haters will even mention this?

The anti-Hispanic racists will.

They have already labeled him, "the other" in the article blaming President Obama for the shooting.

I just wonder why it is so important to people like Megyn Kelly, that the shooter is Hispanic.

I guess in Faux "news" fairyland, white, Christian males are NE-VER to blame for mass shootings...
