Islamophobe Disappointed Manhunt Over Before He Even Had Chance To Indiscriminately Vilify All Muslimshttp://www.theonion.com/article/islamophobe-disappointed-manhunt-over-before-he-ev-53972
NEW YORKRegretting the missed opportunity, local Islamophobe Rob Alderson expressed disappointment Monday when the manhunt for the New York City bombing suspect concluded before he even had a chance to indiscriminately vilify the entire Muslim community. Shit, now that the suspects not at large anymore, I cant really treat every single Muslim like theyre personally responsible for this, said Alderson, explaining that it would have been nice to have had at least a day or two in which he could condemn anyone who looked remotely Middle Eastern despite possessing no evidence or facts indicating what they personally believed, where they hailed from, or even if they were Muslim in the first place. It really is a shame that I didnt even have time to write a long, rambling Facebook post about how Islam breeds hate. If the suspect had been on the lam just a little while longer, I couldve had a field day directing my hatred at the whole global population of Muslims. Oh well. Alderson added that, on second thought, he might as well just go ahead and blindly demonize every Muslim after the fact anyway.

The Onion got it right.

But since he has ties to Afghanistan - not so much.
Pathetic.
