I think wacko would not be correct. He was an well educated Army officer in the medical field. His actions were well thought out and premeditated. Past contact with a labeled terrorist Imam in a foriegn country indicates advance religious thinking and planning. All his actions seem to bear that out. How about exceptional muslim if muslim terrorist is not PC? Wait, muslim terrorist does say it correctly.

I think what you are having trouble with here is that you are trying to make some sort of nexus between "Politically Correct" and "Correct" on the false assumption that one has anything to do with the other. Remember, PC is based on the belief that it is possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

I read that as an intern he had difficulty relating to his patients.

A psychiatrist who has trouble relating to his patients.

Um.

Well thanks for pointing these bits out, the media doesn't highlight the religion when a non-Muslim (Christian/Jew/Buddhist/Hindu) White/Black/Yellow/Brown wacko kills students in a University, or a school, or just random people in a shopping mall, or even their two-months old daughter for being nasty with the remote, but God Forbid, if the person happens to be a Muslim AND a wacko, then everything must be attributed to the fact that he was a Muslim and/or he had met/emailed/talked to some Muslims x number of times x months ago.

father kills infant - Google News Archive Search
muslim father kills - Google News Archive Search
Christian father kills - Google Search

The exact phrase "Muslim father kills" gives you 77,500 results, several news agencies and TV channels use this phrase:
"Muslim father kills" - Google Search
The exact phrase "Christian father kills" gives you 8 results (single digit: eight only), no news agencies use this phrase, only some blogs or forum posts:
"Christian father kills" - Google Search

EXACTLY! This is because of the recent focus on terrorism and radicalism in the mainstream. The media outlets focus on it more because it sells newspaper/brings in webtraffic if the name muslim is in the headlines

And the other 6000 or so Muslims in the US forces risking their necks to save so many red ones. Should they be drummed out too? Even the ones with medals, or even posthumously for the unlucky ones.
