Barney Frank says Orlando shooting reinforces case for surveillance of 'Islamic Element'
MassLive ^ | 6/13/16 | Michelle Williams

Posted on 06/15/2016 10:27:44 AM PDT by ErikJohnsky

Barney Frank, a long serving member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Massachusetts, voiced concerns regarding the safety of gay Americans, an "Islamic element" in terrorism and an increased need for surveillance and gun control. .. "It's an attack against gay people but it does not reflect a general deterioration of our standing in America," he said. "It reflects the virulence of the hatred in this sector of Islam." .. "There is an Islamic element here," he told the Times. "Yes, the overwhelming majority of Muslims don'€™t do this, but there is clearly, sadly, an element in the interpretation of Islam that has some currency, some interpretation in the Middle East that encourages killing people -€” and L.G.B.T. people are on that list. And I think it is fair to ask leaders of the Islamic community, religious and otherwise, to spend some time combatting this."

Does anyone remember the big howl of indignation that arose because some gun shops/ranges wouldn’t allow Mooselimbs to buy guns, or shoot on their ranges?

Mr. Frank will be punished severely for speaking out in this way. At least, I think he hopes he will be punished severely.

gotta say, its pretty big now that even liberal Democrat Barney Frank has contradicted Islamic Hussein Obama; it DOES have to do with Muslimism.

Another thread that you would do well to comprehend. This development simply affirms the point made in my earlier posts.

That terrorist attack is already starting to have a beneficial consequence to the nation.

I doubt it will be enough.

the liberals will eat their own (hopefully). Tho gotta say, one reason I love Trump is that he’s made this dialogue possible.

Barney, a long time faggot and disrupter of America, is one of the reasons that America is in steep decline.

His contribution? Dodd-Frank!

“And I think it is fair to ask leaders of the Islamic community, religious and otherwise, to spend some time combatting this.”

They have no intention of combatting it.

Moderate Muslims in America are simply sitting back and waiting for the violent Muslims to do the job of intimidating society.

Once America has been sufficiently cowed and chastened - the Moderate Muslims will start making demands for compliance with Islam.

good point. I wonder when more parts of the Democrat coalition get hit by Muslim terror.

The Overton Window is favorably moving. While Trump would be best in office, given how the Clintons are a little more centrist than Barry Hussein, a GOP Congress, in the case Trump loses, could still move this country in a rightward direction compared to Muslim Ubama.
