Regarding 'Mass Shootings,' the Elephant in the Room Is Islam
PJ Media ^ | 12/03/2015 | BY MICHAEL WALSH

Posted on 12/03/2015 9:52:48 AM PST by SeekAndFind

The statistical analyst, Nate Silver, has some thoughts on the phenomena of mass shootings in the United States, especially important in the wake of yesterday's attack by what appear to be radicalized Muslims in San Bernardino. Among his observations:

The long-term trend is clear: There have been more total mass shooting incidents and deaths in the 11 years starting with 2005 than there were in the previous 23 years combined.

The shooting in San Bernardino on Wednesday was also labeled as an “active shooter” incident. The FBI defines an active-shooter incident as an individual or individuals “actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area.” The agency counted 160 such incidents from 2000 to 2013 in which a total of 557 people were wounded and 486 killed. And the FBI found that these shootings were on the rise: There were 115 active-shooter incidents in the last seven years of the data set, up from 45 in the first seven years.

I wonder what changed after the turn of the millennium? Did something happen? Did one part of the world declare war on America, or something? If you look at the table compiled by the leftist Mother Jones magazine, you'll notice the near-complete absence of shootings described as "religious" before 2001. You'll also note that the murderous rampage by the "Soldier of Allah" at Fort Hood is listed under "military" violence, as is the attack on the military recruiting station earlier this year by Mohammad Youssuf Abdulazeez.

And now we have Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik in San Bernardino. To be filed under "violence, workplace," no doubt.

So the whole discussion of "mass shootings," which used to signify such domestic atrocities as Columbine and, latterly, Sandy Hook, now must distinguish between criminal acts and acts of war. The Left, led by President Obama, is doing its best to blur the distinction, and make this about "gun control," but it's one that's crucial to understanding what is going on in real time, right before our eyes. We shouldn't let them get away it. Because:

However mass shootings are defined, the deaths they cause represent a small proportion of all homicides committed with firearms in the U.S., which have declined from a decade ago, as has the overall murder rate, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Remove the Muslim attacks on American soil and you have a very different picture of "mass shootings" emerging.

It’s time for islam to go, and it’s time for people who enable islam to go, and it’s time for people who enable the people who enable islam to go.

ENOUGH!

I am going to do my best to avoid Muzzies in public settings until the New Year. Don’t care if it is racial profiling.

My racial profiling is in high gear. I consider any follower of islam as an existential threat. I plan on pushing my elected officials on why we allow this dangerous garbage into our country. These mideasterners and their mosques need to be physically removed from our country.

I avoid them, too. Some of the gas stations have managers that come across as angry muslims. They don’t need my business.

Do not ever dine where muslims are touching your food.
And do not eat any take out like pizza from places where they are employed.

If you don't know who prepared the food don't eat it.

You cannot blindly trust muslims and others who express hate for you, your country, your religion or traditions.

Keep in mind the episodes a few years back where muslims in the USA and the UK were caught using human feces (poop) to poison food they were aelling and serving.

How many have not been caught?

Man Arrested For Sprinkling Fecal Matter On Pastries

"Behrouz Nahidmobarekeh, 49, a devout muslim ,is on trial for allegedly throwing the feces on pastries at a Fiesta grocery store. Police said that during an investigation, they found a pile of human feces by his bed. Investigators believe Nahidmobarekeh would dry the feces, either by microwave or just letting it sit out, grate it up with a cheese grater and then sprinkle it at the store. A young boy, maybe 3 years old, was later seen on the surveillance tape, eating one of the defiled cookies.

There were consistent complaints about foul smelling cookies and cakes which led to investigations and apprehension of the muslim pastry Chef."

DHS Uncovers Islamic Plot to Poison Food in U.S. Hotels and Restaurants

"The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has discovered a "plot to poison food in U.S. hotels and restaurants, CBS News reports.

The plot, uncovered earlier this year, involved the simultaneous poisoning of food served in hotels and restaurants across the U.S. over a single weekend. Two different poisons, ricin and cyanide, would be slipped into salad bars and buffets.

According to CBS, a "key intelligence source" confirmed that the threat was "credible." So credible, in fact, that the DHS, Department of Agriculture and the FDA briefed key security officers in the hotel and restaurant industries about the attack.

Officials believe that those behind the plot may be tied to the Yemeni-based al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). In October, AQAP attempted a cargo bombing scheme, in which explosives were placed in two packages shipped to Chicago addresses."

Philly Muslim Ice Cream Truck Driver Had Urine Popsicles to Sell

"Was Muslim ice cream truck driver Yasser Hassan planning to serve “urine popsicles” to non-Muslim Philadelphia area kids? It’s not clear, but Hussein was drunk driving his ice cream truck in the area and police found at least one bottle of frozen urine in the refrigerator that was used to store ice cream sold to children."

Five Muslim soldiers arrested over Fort Jackson poison probe: report

"Five individuals were arrested amid a probe into food poisoning at Fort Jackson U.S. military base, Fox News reported on Thursday (EST).

Sources told Fox the five men were detained in December over allegations that they attempted to poison the food supply at the South Carolina base.

They were all part of the base's Arabic translation training program, referred to in the Army as "Lima 09".

"Each of them uses Arabic as his first language," one source told Fox News.

In an earlier report, before the arrests emerged, a military source told Fox News the suspects were Muslims.

Respectfully, this isn't about race.

I consider any follower of islam as an existential threat.

No doubt about it! Islam needs to be eradicated in the same way that Nazism was for the most part.

“I am going to do my best to avoid Muzzies in public settings “

Good luck they want to get in your face. I just had my first post San Bernardino Muslim contact in the customer service line at Kroger an hour ago. Just my luck I get in line behind a head scarf. She has to immediately try to engage me in conversation. Then the line at large. This woman is totally American so even worse not even arab. She came in the grocery and her long bearded Muslim husband was hiding out in the van outside. Nobody in line looked at her or spoke to her. They all looked like they just swallowed a bad grape. I couldn’t decide if she was feeling the love in the room or if she was trying to taunt somebody into saying something to her.

This is really excellent. Who’s that wretched man creating this illusion? We can’t deport anybody because there are too many, and so then we’re not going to disarm anybody either, because there are far too many weapons in private hands already. However, while they all posture in front of the enemedia, about what’s “science” for example, there’s ALWAYS something else going on elsewhere as well that the rest of us are not completely aware of. It’s magikal ya know. So, “they” can and will bury this story unless those with bigger pens start repeating the underlying analysis. Only someone in Talk Radio or the NRA can pick up Silver’s analysis to explain the sinister implications of its conclusion. Question of course is why this administration would be purposely misdirecting our attention in this way. We’ve already guessed regardless, however now Silver has given us some excellent evidence in any case.
