On Facebook I got some feedback from some folks that they thought the title of my last post, “It’s Not a Muslim Thing, Is It a Mid-Life Crisis Thing?” was going to be a refutation of some sort of liberal excuse to not blame the shootings at Ft. Hood on muslims.

I hadn’t even thought of that (liberals blaming aging men instead of muslims) when I was posting about it.  It was just an observation I thought was worth noting.  I actually started noticing this over the past few multiple shooting tragedies.  Not all, but enough to notice, it seems that the men who perpetrated those acts were around this age.

Now granted, I think the miltant cultural strain of Islam is totally a part of what Major Hasan was influenced by.  No doubt about that.  But my inner-sociologist wants to interview these men while they sit in jail for the rest of their lives.  Not to make up pc liberal excuses, but to discover any possible way to help other men who might be in similar situations before they do something horrible.

That’s not a liberal thing to do is it?  If it is I guess I am liberal in some ways
