What is this 'Muslim backlash' you speak of?

Why, it appears to be largely a figment of the Muslim community's overactive imagination and paranoid nature!

So why is everyone in the US government from Army Chief of Staff Casey to Homeland Security Secretary 'Pat' Napolitano running around like Henny Penny crying "The backlash is coming! The backlash is coming!"

As reported earlier here: Muslim Veterans group says no reports of harassment of Islamic soldiers.

Abdul-Rashid Abdullah, deputy director of the American Muslim Armed Forces and Veterans Affairs Council, told FoxNews.com that the nonprofit group has not received a single report recently of a U.S. soldier being harassed "simply because he was Muslim."

Robert Spencer at HumanEvents.com picks up the thread.

Had there been any report -- any report at all -- of any innocent, random Muslim being attacked in a “backlash” after the Fort Hood jihad?

Nope. Not one. Americans are decent people. Americans believe people are innocent until proven guilty. But Ibrahim Hooper and his fellow thugs at the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) need to be able to claim that hate crimes are being committed so that they can claim victim status for Muslims and deflect attention away from such small matters as the jihad at Fort Hood. And, naturally, the clueless and/or complicit mainstream media in their hip pocket.

There's more here.
