What does a jihadi have to do to get credit these days? If screaming “Allahu akbar” isn’t enough to make his motive clear, what is? Would he have to drop his knife and announce: “I follow Allah. I pledge my allegiance to the Islamic State. That is why I did what I did”? No, a convert to Islam named Edward Archer said that after he shot and seriously wounded police officer Jesse Hartnett, and the Mayor of Philadelphia, Jim Kenney, responded: “In no way shape or form does anyone in this room believe that Islam or the teaching of Islam has anything to do with what you’ve seen on the screen….It is abhorrent. It is terrible and it does not represent the religion or any of its teachings. This is a criminal with a stolen gun who tried to kill one of our officers. It has nothing to do with being a Muslim or following the Islamic faith.”
In sum, there is absolutely nothing that will convince today’s authorities that an Islamic jihad terrorist is indeed an Islamic jihad terrorist. They just refuse to believe such a person could exist. In this case, German authorities are saying that the perpetrator was mentally ill and drug-addicted. He had a German name and was not a migrant. Very well. Why do so many mentally ill people act out their mental illness in this same way? Maybe this man was a convert to Islam. That he was mentally ill and drug addicted does not in the least preclude the possibility that he converted: he wouldn’t be the first psychically marginal person to find a validation for his violent rage in Islam’s doctrine of jihad. If authorities have no record of his conversion, that doesn’t mean he didn’t convert, or simply identify with the warriors of jihad. The ineluctable fact remains that there is no record of any non-Muslim ever screaming “Allahu akbar” while committing acts of violence. The denial and willful ignorance of German authorities, and authorities all over the West, is suicidal, as it precludes any honest and thorough assessment of the problem that the global jihad poses.

Truth is truth, even if some don’t want to believe it and instead say foolish things like:
“In no way shape or form does anyone in this room believe that Islam or the teaching of Islam has anything to do with what you’ve seen on the screen….It is abhorrent. It is terrible and it does not represent the religion or any of its teachings. This is a criminal with a stolen gun who tried to kill one of our officers. It has nothing to do with being a Muslim or following the Islamic faith.”
Mr. Mayor - you don’t know dick about Islam. It’s all about killing the infidels - LIKE YOU!
"If this idiot had been wearing an I Kill Unbelievers 4 the Glory of Allah t-shirt, they'd still be going, "Whuh-whuh-why did he do this?"
The willfully blind leading the willfully ignorant into the death camps.
Unbelievable.
That IS pretty stupid isn’t it?
Exactly the sort of idiocy you could expect from people who pretend that the gender written in your genes doesn’t matter.
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.
I live in Germany, so I can speak toward this episode that occurred.
The guy in question is a 100-percent German (not an immigrant)....mid-20’s....been on welfare for two years and one year of unemployment collection prior to that...noted as a heavy drug user and has been identified as psychotic. Maybe watches too much TV and goes off to pretend he’s something else, but there’s nothing to indicate he has any attachment or identification with Islam.
Cops even noted that he normally (up until 3 weeks ago) lived up in the Giessen area (north of Frankfurt). Something occurred, and he shows up in a town south of Munich (halfway to the border)....in this stabbing episode. He’s noted at the railway station at 2AM and stands around for hours until folks start arriving to make their way to work. He’s got no shoes, no jacket and after the cops finally put him on the ground....all he does is babble in some incoherent way...making no sense (dope-high no doubt).
In this one particular case....he’s a nutjob and the authorities should have been thinking that after a year on welfare. There are plenty of Jihad-nutjobs around who are Islam, but this guy is just a regular plain-old nutjob.
Who are you going to believe me, or your own lying eyes?
I think we need to fire everyone in the federal government.
This ‘not giving credit’ no matter how obvious tendency would be funny if the stakes weren’t so high. It’s like the Jihadist is Wiley Coyote, and the blissfully ignorant American is the Road Runner.
And they have upped the number of TV shows with gay people especially gay married couples exponentially and are making sure the characters portrayed appear tough, manly, and unrealistic. In others complletely unrealistic as compared to real life. We know how swishy and mentally unstable most are in real life. And now they are putting shows on that mke pedophiles appear to be the victims (The Family). I get sick of watching the MSM promote sexual deviancy as normal.
Yes, just like George Zimmerman was supposed to shout out his name as his attacker was slamming his head into the pavement of the sidewalk....This Muslim clearly needed to spray paint his motivation on a subway wall. < \sarcasm>
Reuters...... worthless SOBs and total failures at journalism!
That’s because they know the murderer is Christian and this guy isn’t, so they think they have the wrong guy.
The only cure for behavior of this type is to hold the perp down on the pavement while someone lets the evil out of him by putting a dimple in his head with a 12 pound sledge hammer.
Thanks for the background information.
