WND columnist and nationally known conservative pundit Erik Rush has come under fire and is facing an onslaught of death threats for suggesting Islamic extremists were likely behind the Boston Marathon bombings and tweeting a sarcastic comment about killing “evil” Muslims.
After the bombing Monday, Rush tweeted, “Everybody do the National Security Ankle Grabs! Let’s bring Saudis in without screening them! C’mon!”
Rush’s comment was in response to early reports from United Press International that a 20-year-old Saudi Arabian national had been a potential suspect in the double bombings. The Boston police later said the man wasn’t a suspect.
Rush told WND he received some hostile tweets following his initial speculation about the identity of the bomber.
“This was speculation, which everyone is doing,” Rush said. “That’s when the tweets started: ‘You’re blaming Muslims already? You scumbag!’
“After several of those, that’s when I was like, ‘Yeah, that’s right, they’re evil. Kill ‘em all.’
“And that’s all they needed.”
Rush said RightWingWatch and the Huffington Post ran stories about his comments, suggesting Rush actually wanted to kill Muslims.
“I was being sarcastic,” he said. “It was promoted, or covered, by RightWingWatch and Huffington Post as if I had said it and meant it – which is what they do. Then all hell broke loose.
“I was getting emails, and I went from 7,500 Twitter followers to over 50,000 in 12 hours. They were sending emails and tweets: ‘We’re coming to get you.’ ‘We’re coming to kill you.’ But the harassment didn’t stop there.
Rush said he was “swatted” Monday afternoon when someone called the police to convince an unwitting SWAT team to descend upon a house. The person called 9-1-1, pretending to be the columnist and claiming two men were firing AK-47 rifles inside his home.

We know t that isn't going to happen. They have power on their side ... and they've ordered 2700 armored tanks for America's streets and have bought billions of rounds of hollow point ammo to use on Americans, etc.
But who's going to come to the aid of their country and countrymen? Certainly not our fat, lazy, pampered and completely irresponsible congress.
I may be risking my life posting this comment but I must get it off my chest.
America is terrorized by Muslims every single day. They are worse than an invasive fire ant colony, they wear fake smiles along with the soulless eyes, they lie as easily as they are willing to die for their twisted culture.
We need to do some spring cleaning.
I never heard of him.
How dare he accuse these peaceful religionists of violence? Why, no wonder they are coming to kill him.
D.OH!
.....Americans and THERI guns!
I'll join you in risking my life. Exactly my conversation with the family this morning. It is time for a large group of people to be deported by whatever means necessary.
Now wait just a minute!
You can’t mean we should do what the Muslim terrorist killers are doing to the Coptic Christians in Muslim countries.
You can’t mean that we should close, then raze their little havens of deception they call mosques and community centers.
And surely you can’t mean, in the name of the preservation of our nation and its intended identity, to deport all Muslim adherents to the Arab nation of their choice.
Well, all I can say is that as long as we’re doing it, let’s shove all the illegal trespassers in this troubled republic back over our southern border.
President Eisenhower did it.
Yet the new media has condemming pictures against them.
I haven’t either.

I have and don’t read WND that often. Personally I like Joseph Farah. Have had exchanges with him on some news subjects and like his perspective. He is from a family of Lebanese Christians (with some Syrian ancestry) and has a very good perspective of the enemy we face.
It is hard to not respect the Lebanese Christian community, they know clearly what Muslim domination actually is.
We are witnessing the convergence of the Left, the Muslims and the Global Fascists against the Christians and Jews. Each of the 3 are openly bent on world domination, each of the 3 think they will prevail over the other 2. None of them will, they will all loose. It is written in the book.
Nothing short of the unfiltered gospel of Jesus Christ will work. And it is not just the muslims it's every one of us that needs this.
I’m with ya, Spartan. Muzzies regard anyone of a different religion as insulting to Allah and their Profit. That’s their license to kill.
There’s a mosque within eyeshot of where I live. Muzzies in robes were laughing & dancing in their parking lot on 9-11. The mosque has its very own black hearse, go figure.
On Jumma (Friday to us “infidels”), all the cars are `combat parked’ facing out.
Fortunately, this is the South. We who are armed Bible believing rednecks are everywhere and the local muzzies know they are hopelessly outnumbered.
I sincerely believe that the nuclear obliteration of unholy Makkah would advance the cause of peace throughout the world. If the muzzies run riot, so be it & pass the ammo.
Deus vult!
Just because they released the Saudi, doesn’t mean they aren’t keeing an eye on him.
just sayin...
I didn’t either until I saw him on television recently.
Via the Christian churches.
I'll look him up this evening. Maybe he's great.

You should be aware this is more or less a distinction without a difference. Lebanon, like what is now Syria, Israel and Jordan were not "nations" at all prior to the first world war. They were provinces in the Ottoman Empire, and the boundaries between provinces bore no relationship at all to those of today.
Lebanon was split off by the French after WWI to provide the area of Syria that had the most Christians with its own "country."
The pre-WWI Ottoman provinces.

You need not give me that semi-history lesson. I know about those countries.
Have a very good friend (much older than I am) who had similar ancestry and stayed in Europe after WWII for a time because of his language skills. We had many discussions of the players on the ground and their contempt for us. That has not changed.
Making excuses for the vast majority of the muslims is a mistake.
The zealots actually prove his point.
In what way do you think I am making excuses for Muslims?
