President Obama, extending condolences to the community at Fort Hood, Tex., reminded Americans on Saturday that people of ''every race, faith and station'' serve in the military -- an oblique attempt to prevent a backlash against Muslims in the wake of Thursday's shootings at the base that left 13 dead. Many Muslims have been concerned that their faith will somehow be blamed after an Army psychiatrist, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who prayed regularly at the Fort Hood mosque, was accused of being the lone gunman in the attack. Mr. Obama did not address that concern directly. But, speaking in his weekly address, he seemed to urge Americans not to dwell on the suspect's religion by reminding the nation of the broad diversity of those who serve. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
