I got this new album that totally rocks. I'm going to "go Negro" and drive around blasting it. This phrase would describe the turn of events where a seemingly integrated African-American—a friendly welfare recipient in New York, say, or a racy comedian—discards his apparent integration into American society and elects to vindicate his race in an act of antisocial aural assault against his fellow Americans.
I'm totally ready for that physics test. I'm going to "go Chinese" all over it. This phrase would describe the turn of events where a seemingly integrated Chinese-American—a friendly dry cleaner in New York, say, or an office worker in middle America—discards his apparent integration into American society and elects to vindicate his motherland in an act of excellence at science, ruining the curve for his fellow Americans.
I feel so depressed. I might just "go Jap" and kill myself. This phrase would describe the turn of events where a seemingly integrated Nipponese-American—a friendly sushi chef in New York, say, or Pat Morita—discards his apparent integration into American society and elects to vindicate his Axis history in an act of samurai violence against his fellow Americans.

Still...Pat Robertson has much more to lose by the focus staying on religion period, as he is one of its main pervertors in the U.S.--and a lovely cash cow it is for him.

"What we are witnessing in India is the growth of a sort of Hindu Taliban movement. Although it is difficult to gauge the numbers accurately, the various extremist groups are believed to have tens of thousands of supporters. In recent years, Muslims have been their principal victims."

You say Islam is a political ideology, not a religion.
SO WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN DOING FOR THE PAST THIRTY YEARS?
Sincerely,
Everyone #religion

He makes it sound like the Hulk.
Nidal Hasan was a mild-mannered Army psychologist. Then, one day, he was exposed to a dangerous amount of the Qu'ran. Unable to control the turmoil raging within, when he bows towards Mecca five times daily, he turns into
THE ISLAMIC HULK!
"RAWR! HULK MAD! HULK ADOPT RADICAL FUNDAMENTALIST ISLAM AND TAKE VIOLENT STANCE AGAINST THE SYMBOLS OF WESTERN EXCESS! HULK SMASH AMERICA BECAUSE OF INVOLVEMENT IN MIDDLE EAST AFFAIRS! HULK SMASH WOMEN WHO NOT WEAR BURQA!" #religion

So will it be a "backlash" when poor performers are terminated, regardless of their previously 'special' status? #religion

Or was it, "can we afford to fire on the of the few Muslims we have" in the sense that, "Because this guy is a Muslim psychologist, he is able to bring certain useful skills to the table, such as a perspective for dealing with other Muslim patients, which obviate his poor performance"? Because it it's that one, it's a judgment call on Walter Reed's behalf, and I don't see any reason why other institutions would feel that a largely unrelated case would have any bearing. #religion

So their political correctness phobia led to the deaths and injuries of innocent people. #religion

Though causal relationships are always difficult to show. Lot's of things led to the deaths and injuries of innocent people there; Hassan being a lousy psychologist doesn't necessarily equate to him being a secret maniac. #religion

Agreed. We should offer them constitutionally-protected free speech, the right to vote and peaceably assemble, to petition the government for redress of grievances, and to worship or not in the peaceful manner they choose. #religion
