Well, precisely, from the point that Mohammed changed his tone from peaceful to belligerent. He started out with something that looked very kumbaya, but it hardly got anyone else on board. Then he discovered he could subjugate peoples and it got a mad following, including himself.
We "don't stand for" What? Nobody was even remotely suggesting this wasn't a heinous, deplorable crime. But, the Times is trying to make it an anti-gay issue and paint it on conservatives and Christians. I just pointed out there is nothing now to suggest this was an motivated by anti-gay animus as opposed to your typical muslim terrorist incident where they pick the target which promises to provide the largest body count. All done in the name of islam.
I mentioned this on an earlier thread concerning the Orlando tragedy, but I think it worth repeating. The reaction, such as the NYT’s and from many others online and elsewhere, reminds me of an incident at the high school I was at about this time in 1987.
A bunch of students decided to go up to a local park by a lakeshore and drink and party on the second last day of school (National Skip Day, lol). The police soon showed up amid complaints of loud music and that alcohol was also really not permitted on park premises. It was reasonable to assume that the authority running the park notified the RCMP (as this park was on federal government owned land) who then came in to break up the affair. Nonetheless, a few students on a night shortly afterwards looked up the home address of one of our vice principals, went over there, and pelted his home with eggs.
Basically, these kids decided that someone like that vice principal was an easy target to accuse and blame for that party being canned. I see the same sort of mentality from ones who regard Obama (and Hillary as well) as part of their dear sweet world of MTV or Saturday Night Live or the Pride Flag or anything else like that and that anyone like Donald Trump or the Republicans or the NRA or Christians who threaten that world of theirs is too an easy target following what happened over the weekend in Orlando.
For massacres... what did you think, I thought you could read
OK, I think I now know the point you were making. You comments were directed to the author of the article, not the point of my post? That would make sense.
” it is evident that Mr. Mateen was driven by hatred toward gays and lesbians. Hate crimes don’t happen in a vacuum. They occur where bigotry is allowed to fester, where minorities are vilified and where people are scapegoated for political gain.”
Sounds like any middle eastern country where Muslims are over 20% of the population.
It was a kind of “hate” that is not characteristic of gospel.
Liberals just can’t bring themselves to point the finger of blame at Radical Muslim terrorists.
Just can’t recall Republicans tossing gays off rootops, stoning them, shooting them, beheading them, burning them alive, and drowning them en masse in compassion for them like Muslims are doing
Yup... if the LGBT set thinks Christians are meanies, they ought to see the jihadist set.
The MURDERER was a MUSLIM TERRORIST!
the enemy of my enemy is my friend
The NY Times, all the narrative that’s fit to shape.
...Well, precisely, from the point that Mohammed changed his tone from peaceful to belligerent....
MoHamHead never was peaceful. It’s been believers t from the first page written in the vile Koran.
He invented the Satanic religion from the beginning to immediately aid in the conquest of his war, conquest, and subjugation of his enemies. Addionally to justify the personal demons in his own life such as pedophilia, rape, and murder.
Let’s call them the Pretzel Press.
Are any progs actually stupid enough to quote The New York Times to back up a debate point?
The New York Times is directly responsible for Orlando. They might as well have sent a team of gunman journalists themselves. The New York Times is drenched with blood.
I can’t find the right words or image to show my DISGUST at the New York Times for that.
Because labeling the perp who specifically targeted a Christian Church an "anti-Christian" would NOT have gotten the Confederate Flag taken down.
(The playbook of the Dem-Left: "Never let a good crisis go to waste.")
I am waiting for the New York Times to print a followup editorial that Republican Party hot rhetoric was responsible for radicalizing that alligator against children motivating the alligator to attack that child in Disneyworld. The difference between the New York Times editorial page and the National Enquirer is sometimes the Enquirer gets it right.
You have a bar crowded full of people, many of whom are drunk and have slower, less fine reactions. Terrorists exploit vulnerability to the max, it is what they do.
