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."
And its not slaughter, it’s just a minor population adjustment.
Have they started pop-up street memorials for the guilty muslims yet?
Well, isn’t he a good little dhimmi.
And you're an idiot. A full blown idiot.
Manchester, you elect idiots like that mayor and you get what you deserve.
Not his kids.
Its not just European leaders.
And you are a mayor, but you are really an idiot.
Manchester mayor is PC through and through. How can anyone expect to defeat terrorism with an attitude like that?
****The message that I would want to get over - and this is how the vast majority of people feel****
Abject stupidity and arrogance.
It's not a small step. This simple-sounding demand forces Muslim leaders to denounce radical Islamic terrorism.
London elected Sadihk Khan
Left: How horrible, little girls killed! Donald Trump and Robert Spencer caused it.
The left has chosen to assume full moral responsibility for present and future terror attacks. THEY are to blame, even more so than moronic reptilian-brain savages.
Just read any MSM account of a Muslim outrage and see whether that account loses or gains clarity when the word "terrorist" is replaced by "Muslim."
ML/NJ
Ironically, even this lame statement by an idiot pol is way ahead of the US. In this country, the FBI, police, House, Senate and media would still be “searching for a motive.”
Muslim terrorists have a knack for killing the wrong people.
> Islam is a religion of peace - George W Bush <
That set the tone.
If you take a look at FDR’s speech right after Pearl Harbor, you’ll see none of that mushy talk. Bush could have crushed the Islamists just as completely as FDR crushed the Imperial Japanese.
The West will pay a very heavy price for Bush’s weakness here.
Manchester Mayor: I am a typical Muslim practicing taqqiya.
Taqiyya is an Islamic juridical term whose shifting meaning relates to when a Muslim is allowed, under Sharia law, to lie.
#ManchesterMoms demand action! This is why your daughters are dead, dismembered, and disfigured.
The Mayor says Theres a lot of people in this country not necessarily at risk from Islamic extremism but its far-right extremism. Manchester Police are concerned with eradicating hate and making people safe from hatred. http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3554787/posts
> The neighborhood, around an area called Moss Side, just a few miles from the concert hall, is considered by police to be a hot bed of ISIS recruitmen - http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/portrait-emerges-salman-abedi-suspected-manchester-bomber/story?id=47594845
Why is this allowed to exist? Because the mayor and police chiefs are mentally incompetent.
The mayor and police chiefs have blood on their hands.
#ManchesterMoms need to protest outside HQ. The Mayor and police chiefs need to be fired.
I think we should be relieved of any NATO obligation until Europe cleans up their refugee mess.
Liberally really do BELIEVE "Islamophobia" is worse than 8 year old girls having their bodies ripped apart by Muslim nail bombs.
