WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The man who shot a policeman in Philadelphia and claimed to have pledged allegiance to Islamic State militants does not appear to be a mosque-going Muslim, a senior official at the largest U.S. Muslim advocacy group said.

"At this hour, it does not appear that he was an observant or mosque-going Muslim" in the local community, said Jacob Bender, executive director of the Philadelphia Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

"I've called numerous imams and mosques to try to see if the name rings a bell with anyone. So far it hasn't," he told Reuters in an interview.

Not an observant Muslim? The image in post 2 looks like he’s pretty observant to me.

A comment you will never see in the MSM or even in some conservative media.

Look at the pissant small windows for the driver and shotgun rider. They are not the wider, higher rectangular windows of old, but the new, slicker pieces of crap which RESTRICT one’s ability to defend oneself when attacked from the outside.

Michael Brown of Ferguson infamy, reached into the squad car and had his hands on the officer’s gun which the officer had not been able to pull out in time before the assault. The office had damned little maneuver room, esp. when the assailant had the element of surprise.

I know that the old FORD patrol cars are more expensive to operate (gas, maintenance, etc). but WHAT IS THAT COMPARED TO THE LIFE OF AN OFFICER?

Politicans, liberals (I’m being redundant), social activists (i.e. commies and black extremists), and nuts will never want to address this issue because to them, A DEAD COP IS JUST ANOTHER BUMP IN THE ROAD.

MadMax, feeling better and pissed off as hell!

At this hour, it does not appear that he was an observant or mosque-going Muslim in the local community, said Jacob Bender, executive director of the Philadelphia Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

Let's break this down:

At this hour: Meaning the time the statement was made.

it does not appear:The person making the statement cannot see the perp.

that he was an observant or mosque-going Muslim in the local community:How could he be going to a mosque (at this hour) if he is in custody at this time?

said Jacob Bender, executive director of the Philadelphia Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.:Self hating Jewish guy or Judenrat who practices TAQIYYA.

I've called numerous imams and mosques to try to see if the name rings a bell with anyone. So far it hasn't,

Different than christianity. I could tell simply by him shooting an innocent cop that he wasn't a christian - no phone calls needed.

A radical Muslim wants to kill you. A moderate Muslim wants a radical Muslim to kill you.

To my comment at #60. THe news today said the mayor was the old fool Nutter, but the news articles says it’s Keeney.

Either way or either one, they are both members of the First Order of Liberal Aholes and the Guild for the Liberal Blind.

Notice the mark at the top of his forehead. That's a prayer bump, caused by banging your head on your rug all day.

Plus he was wearing a Muslim outfit.

This is a VERY observant Muslim.
