Too soon to say if IS group behind Texas attack: US
Yahoo News ^ | 5/5/15 | Daniel De Luce - AFP

Washington (AFP) - The White House said Tuesday it was too soon to tell if the Islamic State group was behind an attack in Texas targeting an exhibit of caricatures of the Prophet Mohammed, despite claims by the jihadists.

The IS group earlier claimed responsibility for Sunday's attack, in which two gunmen shot a security guard in a Dallas suburb before being killed by a police officer outside an event showcasing the cartoons, which many Muslims find offensive.

The case "is still under investigation by the FBI and other members of the intelligence community" to determine if the two assailants had any ties to the IS group, White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters.

"So it's too early to say at this point."

The IS claim marked the first time the extremist group, which has captured swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq using brutal methods, alleged to have carried out an attack in the United States.

It’s not too soon to say Islam was behind the attacks and that is all that we really need to know.

I see pundits declaring that there’s no way they could have pulled this off by themselves and I want to know why the hell not.

Hell these two morons managed to wound 1 person and ended up dead themselves.

ISIS predicted the attack in advance, then
took credit, then said more are coming.

By Hasan, the White Mosque is PREDICTABLY
an accomplice AGAIN.

10000% guaranteed the Justus department is trying to link the attack to the Tea Party, Sarah Palin, and anti-abortion Limbaugh fans.

The inspiration for ISIS, al Queda, Boko Haram, Abu Sayaf and jihadis around the world come from their book.

Islam has been at war with the rest of the world since its inception.

Muslims aren’t particularly dangerous until they get serious about their religion.

It is also too early to say that leftist American pukes are behind the attack, but darn if their actions are not speaking for them.

Given the absence of any protestors to the event, it seems possible the local mosques knew of a possible attack.

If THEY knew, Homeland Security knew

WHITE HOUSE BRAIN BRIGADE

SHAMEFUL ATTACKS BY THE DHIMMIT MEDIA TO PAMELA GELLER AND GERT WILDERS

The American “Dhimmitude” media, cowed by Islamic violence, has accepted total submission to the mandates of the Islamic terrorists.

Pamela Geller, Gert Wilders, and Bosch Fawstin (the winner of the contest) are real heroes that have not accepted to be intimidated by Islamic terrorists. It is denigrating for the American media to see their pundits attacking the freedom of expression of those opposed to the Islamization of U.S.

On January 17,2015 and in the same public school center, there was a “Stand with the Prophet” rally by Muslims, a provocative pro-Shariah law event, by supporters of Al-Qaida and Isis organized by one of the terrorists implicated in the bombing of the garage of the NY World Trade Center in 1993.

I wonder if those who try to blame the organizers of the “First Annual Muhammad Art Exhibit and Contest,” for the Muslim terrorist attack would have justified if a patriotic American had irrupted in the Muslim rally on January and made a massacre of Islamic terrorists. After all, Americans are profoundly offended by their provocation and the abuse of our freedoms by those who made the Muslim rally in support of the savages that decapitate, crucify and burned Christians alive.

The “Dhimmitude” media, scared by Islamic violence, auto-censors itself and tries to justify the terrorist attack in Texas because the Mohamed cartoons contest offended the sensibility of Islamic terrorists.

On January 2015, radical Islamists desecrated the holy soil of Texas. Do not mess with Texas!!!

Iranian Commander: We Won’t Rest Until US is an Islamic Republic

Don’t allow Obama and the media fool us, radical Islam officially declared war against U.S. on 9/11/2001.

In Switzerland everybody is drafted and they keep their arms in home in case they need to defend their country. It is imperative that all American arm themselves, the jihadists are already in and can attack any time our churches, malls, theaters, slaughtering innocents men women and children as they are massacring Christians in Africa and the Middle East.

Their own words state that they paid for their membership with their lives. That is the problem with our Homeland Security department. They are waiting for the terrorist to send them a letter. Why on Earth HS was not watching these two is beyond me. Do they not follow FBI cases ?
