So Palin is supposed to be a racist because she supports profiling, is that it? Is that what Chris Mathews is getting at? How does that clip from Shawn Hannity interviewing her, show her to be a racist? Even ignoring the issue of weather or not we should profile, she sounds like she wants to profile people based on their beliefs, and cultural background not there race.
Or does he believe that the only people who would support Sahara Palin over Barrack Obama, are white racists?
Major Hasan was likely an anti-white racist, like all jihadists essentially are. Of the (I believe) 41 soldiers and civilians that he killed or wounded, I'll bet that the overwhelming majority were white rather than black, Hispanic or Asian.
I'm just guessing this but it would fit the pattern of jihadists specifically targeting whites.
But there are some Jihadists who are white, like Adam Gadahn. Also look at a picture of Hasan, the fort hood perpetrator. Both of these guys are white. Not all Jihadists, or even Muslims, are Arabs, or non whites. This conflict has nothing to do with race.
I'm confused. Isn't Islam more about forcibly converting or slaying infidels than a particular race? How exactly is it an Arab Supremacist religion other than the fact that it regarded many of the Arab practices at the time of its founding as morally superior? What do you mean?
... it regarded many of the Arab practices at the time of its founding as morally superior ...
That's exactly what I mean.
Also, for instance, in Sudan, the Arab government has systematically been slaying Black Africans for the past 25 years. It started with the Christians, and when they started running out of Christians, they began killing the Sufi Muslims (who also happen to be black).
It is my impression that Arab Muslims consider themselves the true Muslims, and all others ought to be subservient.
Am I wrong? Perhaps.
I am aware that Islam is a religion open to anyone of any race, and in that sense Islam is not a race. However, I think there is not a small amount of Arabic supremacy in Islam.

Chris Matthews: "They look like a white crowd to me, not that there's anything wrong with it ..."
Imagine if someone said such a thing about a black crowd.
I'm not a full-fledged supporter of Palin (yet).
That must be because my kids are only half-white.
Actually Chris Matthews is convincing me that I ought to be a Palin supporter.
Good job, Chrissy.
UPDATE: By the way, note that Matthews calls Ft. Hood an ethnic issue.
What a moron.
ISLAM IS NOT A RACE.
Total freaking moron.
EVERYTHING WE NEEDED TO KNOW ABOUT MAJOR HASAN CAME FROM HIS MOUTH, NOT HIS SKIN COLOR.

And Chris Matthews is regularly seen hangin with the home boys in the hood? The man is a suit-cracker.

Damien,
Adam Gadahn was white. But, Nidal Hasan is Palestinian-American, which means he's Arab.
From Wiki:
Hasan was born in Arlington, Virginia, to Palestinian parents who emigrated to the US from al-Bireh in the West Bank.

As to your larger point, Damien, you are right. Islam is not a race.
That being said, Islam is an Arab Supremacist religion.

White jihadists = Self-hating whites.
