Recruiting Center Murderer was Anti-Military Muslim

June 1, 2009 Posted by John at 10:36 PM

It was reported today that the man who shot two soldiers at a Little Rock Army recruiting center was Abdul Hakim Mujahid Muhammad, a Muslim convert formerly known as Carlos Bledsoe. Muhammad reportedly "said he was opposed to the U.S. military."

After the murder of Kansas abortionist George Tiller on Sunday, lefties like Andy Sullivan and denizens of the Daily Kos immediately tried to pin the blame on Bill O'Reilly, who did a program critical of Dr. Tiller. It will be interesting to see whether they're consistent enough to blame themselves for Muhammad's attack. After all, if Muhammad was a Sullivan reader he probably thought American soldiers don't do anything all day long but waterboard detainees.

UPDATE: There is much more in the comments.
