Killer was in UAE Dubai last year, odd place to visit 🤔

[samtheman]

What was the one false claim that you know of?

[elcid1970]

Oh, geez, you don’t have to be a Middle East scholar to know that “bar” means `son of’ in HEBREW!! The equivalent in Arabic is “bin”.

Fake news or else ISIS is running out of literate terrorists.

I’m not understanding why so many find it so far fetched rhat an Antifa-type radical would join forces with an ISIS cell to accomplish his evil deed. If you look out at the demonstrations or even anti Trump hollywood types, they are for the most part baby boomer age. Why can’t a crazed liberal, rich white guy be drawn to Islamm

Find it interesting that Obozo had to chime in on this massacre.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Hmmmm. Long way to Mecca.

[Drago]

Does he have an “Antifa” name??

[Savage Beast]

"Who are you going to believe; ISIL or FBI?"

That's a tough one.

[dforest]

I rule nothing out at this time.

[KeyLargo]

Bingo. Read a comment at blog that name is just made up and makes no sense.

[yldstrk]

No way the dude did it by himself. Doubt that stupid ISIS did it. This was slick. Expert gun people did this. Probably connected to some government somewhere. Dude was the dead body left behind.

[yldstrk]

bingo!

[EarlyBird]

Beat me to it.

After all, how big of a jump is it from being antifa to joining ISIS? Not very big at all!

Wasn’t antifa a big part of the “spontaneous” protests of Trump’s first travel ban?

[Codeflier]

I agree with you. People seem to think it would be crazy for him to convert to Islam, conveniently forgetting how crazy it was to do what he did in the first place.

““bar” means `son of’ in HEBREW”

Bar, ben, bin: Aramaic, Hebrew, Arabic.

Maybe “Bar” here alludes to all the time he spent at a bar. Some kind of sick joke.

[familyop]

Thanks! I didn’t catch that! Is it likely, though, that someone who was very accustomed to writing Hebrew might have simply made a typographical error while copying the name from another message?

[KavMan]

ISIS knows the FBI will try to discredit what they say!

So why not have proof this guy was part of ISIS & post a video of him pledging allegiance to ISIS?

I think it's BS if they don't have some kind of proof!

[smileyface]

Thread winner.

Reported that his gf has family in Dubai.

[bgill]

My, how ISIS has fallen. So desperate for believers.
