"Muslims Fear Backlash from Tomorrow's Terror Attack"
Steyn Online ^ | 1 Nov 2017 | Mark Steyn

Posted on 11/02/2017 7:55:03 AM PDT by Rummyfan

On Wednesday night I kept my midweek date with Tucker Carlson on Fox News to discuss the politico-media framing of the latest Islamic terror attack. From Media-ite:

On Wednesday night, Tucker Carlson and Mark Steyn slammed NBC News for a headline they put out hours after the terrorist attack in New York City.

That's because their stupid headline was ringing twelve-year-old bells. But Media-ite pretended to be shocked by my objection to it:

"NBC's headline is actually saying, 'We care more about a hypothetical attack on Muslims that never comes, we care more about that than, say, for example the five dead Argentines being scraped off the pavement in lower Manhattan,'" Steyn said. "And that is actually a narcissistic and decadent intrusion upon the real news story...

"I don't know where they are having dinner tonight, but let's say Cuomo and De Blasio, whatever restaurant you are in- if you walked in and yelled "Allahu akbar," they would dive under the table like everybody else," Steyn insisted. "They understand the distinction but they are committed to framing this issue in a way that assures there will never be strategic clarity about what is going on."

Nevertheless, Cuomo is just applying the same repulsive strategy seen in Paris and London and Manchester, dignifying as "resilience" what is really an enfeebled passivity no better than the Eloi in H G Wells' The Time Machine, who even as their neighbors are stolen by the Morlocks in the night forget them instantly and gather in the dawn to dance and arrange flowers as if nothing has happened. Free peoples need to recover some righteous anger, or they will lose their futures - and deserve to.

instead of : " "Allahu akbar,"
The Muslum yell should be :" "Allahu FUBAR !!"

Anytime a white Christian person commits a crime, white Christians put their heads down and just take the blame and abuse which ALWAYS comes.

The same is NOT true for muslim or people of color. The abuse and blame NEVER comes. THEY are not held responsible for the crimes of ONE of their own.

The only thing missing from the Eloi/Morlock comparison is adding a "Pray for (latest city to be attacked) Facebook profile picture filter". Then it would be perfect.

Man commits crime with a gun, “We must ban ALL guns because ALL gun owners are the scum of the Earth and potential murderers!”

Muslim commits a terrorist attack and murders innocent people, “We mustn’t judge all Muslims by the actions of one person! It’s unfair and racist! We must allow more Muslims into the country so we can understand them better!”

The left are morons and, left unchecked, they will get us all killed.

That is our version of planting the flowers the next day since they tell us to only pray (or send “thoughts”) to those affected and never to pray to Lord Jesus to come back and banish Allah and his followers to the pit of fire.

That would be insensitive, as the Eloi would explain.

Great point! We must ban Islam as the doctrine is subversive. Will we see the imams in US writing Fatwas citing punishment for practitioners of Islam for killing non-believers? If not they must be deported!

Backlash? When has there ever been a backlash to murders by muzzies? The only backlash has been flowers and teddies at the scene of their killings.

How about you mooselimbs police your own trash.
How about you mooselimbs speak up and speak out against the F-ing crazies in your “religion”?
Quit looking the other way or live in FEAR of a serious backlash against you ALL.

" “We mustn’t judge all Muslims by the actions of one person! It’s unfair and racist!"

But let a picture of some guy wearing a T-shirt with a Confederate flag on it >before< he went on a killing spree in a black church, American heritage about the Civil War is being wiped out.

Muzzies kill innocent people because they do not believe in perverted Islam

Might be fun to start going to places Progs congregate, like hip coffee shops and hookah bars with a fake beard, and start yelling “Allahu Ackbar” while wearing a bulky jacket, just to see the result.

And where is all this “backlash” against muslims? I don’t see it posted here or elsewhere. Is it dirty looks from infidels after the latest massacre, from pedestrians and others concerned a passing neckbeard might erupt into “Allah Ackbar”?
What do CAIR and the others want? Immunity from outrage from Americans for future attacks by moon worshippers? Something like `carbon credits”: terror credits?

I see attacks upon white people, many vulnerable, described as a “game” by news fools who also cluck concern over possible hurt feelings to the ROP following each fresh mass murder by a member of the religion of Africanized bees.
