The reality? The reality is that millions of Muslims live in North America and are obviously not terrorists. That the writer hoped it would be a non-Muslim is understandable in light of the fact, if the present company is any indication, that there are too many eager to smear the entire religion for the actions of a fundamentalist few.
No, the writer had hoped it was one of those evil white bastards in the Tea Party movement. Then they, radical leftists/MSM, could just rant away about the "home grown" terrorists. Further, another Muslim terrorist attack just goes to show that all the "love" which was supposed to happen when Obama got elected ain't exactly turning out as planned.
So, here's the question: If the people of the United States could vote to ban Islam and Muslims in the country, how would the vote turn out?
I do not see anything in what the writer is reported to have said that indicates she hoped the bomber instead belonged to any other particular group.
