These same people who say Islam has NOTHING TO DO with murder and mayhem ARE THE SAME PEOPLE who told us the Confederate FLAG had to be banned because it inspired murder and mayhem.

Now that is a profound analogy.

Liberals and Islamists share the same goals, none of which can be achieved without the eradication of capitalism. Islam is thus a tool of the left, we should not be surprised when liberals defend Islam.

There can be no solution to the Muslim problem that does not involve consequences that accrue to all Muslims. We cannot continue to acquiesce to being asked to read minds in order to survive.

The possibility that Maddow has a vagina rather than a penis, is murky.

I thought the Chief of Police said exactly what the motive was in his press conference. He credited Islam and said the guy was a Muslim.

It was the White ignoramus mayor of Philly who said the attack "had nothing to do with Islam," which should get him fired, but won't.
It's people like this lying, POS mayor who need to be MORE than fired. His actions are going to get other people killed.

The pretzel logic of government spokespersons. The murkiness of marxist-speak.

If I bet the shooter had ties to the New Black Panthers and Nation of Islam and lost, would I lose my white privilege?

I hope Trump finds a way to throw this into one of his speeches.

The perps own words versus the media and government spin

“Police: Suspect confessed to Philadelphia police officer shooting ‘in name of Islam’”

I have heard several commentators on CNN say the person was mentally disturbed rather than that this was radical Islamic terrorism. Just heard he had traveled to the Middle East twice.

I can believe his mom wanting to help him by saying this is a mental illness, but the facts are what they are: radical Islamic terrorism.

He did say those things. Then he said that this had nothing to do with Islam, I guess in an effort to deflect this Muslims actions from all other Muslims.

I yelled at the TV—”Of course this has everything to do with Islam.”

EXACTLY. A perfect example of what we are dealing with. Enemies foreign. Enemies domestic.

Thanks, RummyChick.

Why is it that libs are experts on what constitutes Islam, while at the same time wanting all vestiges of the Judeo-Christian God excised from public life?

Yesterday, the commish and newsies were trying to distance the perp from Islam, saying he did not attend a mosque regularly.

This morning, on FoxNews, an acquaintance said the guy was steeped in Islam and was even wearing the Islamic garb.

Again, we have an incident where the newsie/pc/political narrative does not fit the actual facts. Ironically, the newsie/pc/political narrative seems to hit the airwaves ahead of the facts. It is almost as if there is a pre-determined script for such incidents.

Well that's disappointing. I thought, for a change, we had an honest accounting...

If some guy pulled out a gun and screamed “I’m gong to kill you stupid Lesbians and Gays”, then shot people in a gay bar, I wonder if Maddow would struggle with figuring out the ‘motive’....

Also, how would Maddow ‘feel’ if the Mayor stepped forward and said the above shooter had NOTHING to do with bias against gays....

The top cop said it first, then the Mayor said it again.

It was the police commissioner, IIRC.

Islamic terrorism is mental illness.

But, according to Maddow, if the guy was a Christian or a member of the NRA, all would be crystal clear.
