Manchester Mayor: Bomber Was A Terrorist, Not A Muslim [Even though he really was a Muslim]
lbc.co.uk ^ | May 24, 2017

Salman Abedi killed 22 people, including children as young as 8, when he detonated a suicide bomb outside the Manchester Arena on Monday night.

He was born and raised in Manchester to Libyan parents and worshipped in a mosque in Didsbury, not stopped going because the imam was speaking out against ISIS.

But the Mayor of Manchester insisted that this man was a terrorist who had noting to do with Islam.

Speaking to Nick Ferrari on LBC, he said: "Manchester always reacts in the right way and we did that last night. People came together.

"The message that I would want to get over - and this is how the vast majority of people feel - this man was a terrorist, not a Muslim."

"He does not represent the Muslim community. We've got to keep that distinction in mind all the time. This was an unspeakable act."

"The worst thing that can happen is that people use this to blame an entire community, the Muslim community."

"In my view, the man who committed this atrocity no more represents the Muslim community than the individual who murdered my friend Jo Cox represents the white, Christian community."

Yes. And Hitler was a lunatic, and not a Nazi.

Another episode of “let’s play word games while children are dead.”

“”The worst thing that can happen is that people use this to blame an entire community, the Muslim community.””

This politically correct, badly deluded girly buffoon of a mayor in Manchester is the type of leadership that governs the EU. Rational conservatives in the US are coming to realize that the costly entanglements that link the US to this decaying culture that selects such leaders is debilitating to the US and does nothing to enhance the well being or security of Americans. The political consensus that made NATO and other contraptions such as the Paris accords possible is coming to an end.

We seem to have a lot of those. Muslims who aren’t Muslims. Islamic terrorists who aren’t Islamic terrorists. The Lying Left deceivers are deceived by their own deception. The results are deadly.

A Christian who blows up the Murrah building is no longer a Christian, huh?

No, in fact the authorities will make him extra, extra Christian.

Convenient for Islam to have its naming ambiguity.

Denial does not bring back the dead.

It gets more people killed.

Islam has been carrying out jihad for 1395 years.

They are commanded by their prophet in their “holy” books to continue until there are no more infidels.

The rest of humanity has three choices under Islam, submit and live as slaves, convert or die.

The other option is acknowledging the threat of Islam and killing them first.

It’s not just European leaders.

Islam is a religion of peace - George W Bush (who some allege to be conservative)

And the English start getting off the sidewalk when a Mohammedan approaches. The English ruling class is already dhimmi and will convert en masse at the appropriate moment in order to remain the English ruling class. Only it won’t work. There are too many of them. In a Moslem society that does not have foreign tribute pouring into the realm a la Arabia, there is room for only a tiny set at the top. Moslem societies produce no surplus and the support for the rulers traditionally came from raiding the neighbors. Now the raiding is in the form of random bombings and shootings to extort Tribute and break down societies preparatory to invasion.
