Authorities believe the terrorist attack on Dec. 2, 2015, in San Bernardino may have been triggered by a mandatory employee training session and lunch replete with holiday decorations, including a Christmas tree, that shooter Syed Farook was forced to attend.

I suppose that Syed Farook being pubic servant (public employee) would have been willing to come to work on December 25 and not take it as one of his 14 paid holidays.

Excellent idea, show them Christmas decorations and if they are triggered, no visa for you!

I was forced to sit through a “Cultural Competency” lecture at work. I almost vomited, but I did not kill any liberals because of it.

The Puritans were anti-Christmas (because they considered it a Catholic practice). It was against the law not to work on Christmas unless it fell on a Sunday. But I don’t think they ever shot people for celebrating Christmas.

Authorities believe...

If a Christmas party motivates a Muslim to murder a dozen Christians, we’ve lost our culture.

Oh, well, in that case, I guess the whole indiscriminate murder thing was perfectly reasonable...

ATTENTION ALL MEDIA OUTLETS!

I do not, and never will, give a damn about what motivates murderous assholes. It is enough to know that they are murderous assholes, which is abundantly clear from observing their actions.

The article left out something important.

Farook got into an argument with a Jewish man about two weeks before the luncheon:

Messianic Jewish victim of California attack had argued with shooter about Islam

Christmas Party May Have Triggered....

'Triggered' -- the new favorite word of Leftists. Seems Moslems and their SJW statist bedfellows are 'triggered' at the drop of a turban -- Christmas parties/trees, ethnic-themed Halloween costumes, politically incorrect cartoons, Make America Great Again hats, liberty and responsibility, the existence of Israel....

Hmmm....apparently both are triggered by many of the same things. Hence their bedfellow status.

That may be so ... but the Puritans against partying on Christmas were not a majority voice even in colonial America. And their take was that Christmas was better spent reverently, rather than engaging in what they deemed un-Christian behaviour on a date selected with pagan trappings. And unlike Islam, the Puritans were not incompatible with western civilization. They were simply more respectful of Christ. Which is very American ... at least it was in the history books.

The title should then read:

“Islamic Intolerance the cause of San Bernadine shooting”

Horse hockey. It was long planned. The feds tried to cover the plan up by releasing the apartment to the lookie loos and reporters who rummaged through everything destroying any sort of evidence. Mama was never arrested. The men who hung out in the garage were never arrested. The live scanner proved the cops already knew of him. Nope, not buying the spin.

So the headline should be:

“Islamist murderer victim of holiday cheer”?

That is such a simple remedy - except in the case of refugees. In this case the host country is obliged indulge them to the fullest extent. They have not come here of their own free will and so, need not conform.

Apparently so. Liberals refuse to believe in evil.

So, the only solution then, is to ban Islam.

Have they done his star chart yet to see how the alignment of planets on the day he was born could have triggered the attack?
