Philadelphia's Mayor Jim Kenney has earned himself a place in the Doofus Hall of Fame for telling a press conference about an attempted assassination a police officer by a man who told police he acted "in the name of Islam" because "the police defend laws that are contrary to the teachings of the Koran":

"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. That is abhorrent. It's just terrible and it does not represent this religion in any way shape or form or any of its teachings. And 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."

LOL! Oh yeah. The old "I never said anything about a video and anybody that says I did is lying" defense. Weird that he admitted the gun was stolen and not bought through a gun show loophole. I believe it was a stolen cop gun. And apparently the mare(sic) is an expert in is-lame and the koran.

Recall time.

Sorry may-yer. You can’t undo making an ass of yourself.

If you think that’s gonna happen, I got a winning power ball ticket from last Wednesday night I’ll sell you for $100. LOL!

200,000 muzzies live in the medium-sized city of Philadelphia??? That was the takeaway from this...

[gusopol3]

200,000 Moslems in Philly?

[SkyDancer]

They always claim they’ve been ‘misinterpreted’ whenever they’re caught out.

[rktman]

How much of Philly is classified as “GUN FREE ZONE” area?

[Travis McGee]

[John W]

Not sure the fifth largest city in the nation is “medium-sized”.

btt

[miss marmelstein]

Well, it seems pretty pokey to me, lol.

We don’t need the FBI to tell us that Jihad is not Islam. It’s who they are. Muslims must believe in Islam uber Alles or b ecome apostates.

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

I wonder why the author seems to assume the mayor can read? He’s a big city DemocRat after all.

[gusopol3]

“According to several statistics, Philadelphia has surpassed Detroit and New York City to become the American metropolitan area with the highest proportion of Muslims.[49]”

Wikipedia has a good write up ( including estimate 60,ooo born in China) but doesn’t offer estimate of total numbers of Moslems.

Your NYC valuess are showing.......

Let's not get on our high horse and paint, with a broad brush a peaceful religion just because of the violent actions of a few...hundred...million.

They keep telling us infidels that WE are misinterpreting the violent passages in the koran as...well...violent. Perhaps they should talk to their fellow believers who correctly interpret the violent passages in that book as a call to...well...violence.

looked a little farther, again from wikipdia: "New York City had the largest number of Muslims with 69,985. In 2000, Dearborn, Michigan ranked second with 29,181, and Los Angeles ranked third with 25,673; although Paterson, New Jersey, in the New York City Metropolitan Area, was estimated to have become home to 25,000 to 30,000 Muslims as of 2011. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was estimated to have 30,000 to 50,000 Muslims as of 2012.[116] Paterson, New Jersey has been nicknamed Little Ramallah and contains a neighborhood with the same name, with an Arab American population estimated as high as 20,000 in 2015.

Other than fact as presented in article that he is already in the Doofus Hall of fame, why is Kenney misrepresenting #s of Moslems by 4-7 fold?

[Roman_War_Criminal]

He’s just like every other lying & corrupt politician hell bent on keeping the wild jackels of Islam snickering.

I bet if there was some “religious” kumbaya gathering where Priests, Imams, Rabbi’s and Monks attended in the name of “peace”, he’d be there to pay his respects to “allah”.

Wait until November when this mayor delivers precinct after precinct with more Democrat votes than there are registered voters.

Philadelphia freedom.
