"Washington Post Warns Of “Islamophobic” “backlash” After Somali-Muslim Cop Guns Down Yoga Instructor Who Called 911 For Help"

It’s a win/win for the Muslim world every time there is jihad carnage. Jihad terror results in more sharia enforcement.

After every heinous Muslim attack (including Septemenr 11th), the knee-jerk response by media and cultural elites is a nonexistent “fear of reprisal” and cries of “islamophobic” tweets that offend Muslim hair-trigger sensibilities. Never does the Muslim world self-reflect. Never do Muslim leaders say, we have a problem, this is evil and we have to be good. We must expunge Islamic texts that exhort to holy war and hate.

No, always, it’s the same thing. Blame the victims.

“Already, hateful posts criticizing Islam and sharia law are filling social media in response to the police shooting.”

Tell it to the dead in the cause of Islam.

"After Minneapolis Officer In Police Shooting Is Named, Somali Community Braces For Backlash"

By Katie Mettler, Washington Post

When Mohamed Noor joined the Minneapolis police force and was assigned to patrol the city’s southwest corner, the Somali community there — the nation’s largest — threw a party for him to celebrate.

He was the first Somali American officer to serve in Minneapolis’s fifth precinct and one of fewer than a dozen Somali American officers in the department. His presence on the squad brought Somali activists some pride and reassurance at a time of Islamophobia in America and nationwide racial tension stoked in part by shootings of black people by white police officers.

Now that same Somali community is bracing for a backlash against Noor that has already begun.

On Monday, multiple media outlets named Noor as the officer who fatally shot an unarmed Australian woman in the city’s popular Fulton neighborhood over the weekend, an incident that has grabbed global attention and thrust Minneapolis into yet another uproar over police violence.

Officials have not publicly confirmed the officer’s name.

Tom Plunkett, an attorney who said he to represent Noor, said in a statement that the officer “extends his condolences” to those mourning 40-year-old Justine Damond’s death and “takes their loss seriously.”

“We would like to say more, and will in the future,” Plunkett said. “At this time, however, there are several investigations ongoing and Officer Noor wants to respect the privacy to the family and asks the same in return during this difficult period.”

Although Plunkett did not respond to requests to explicitly confirm that Noor fired the shot that killed Damond, several Somali leaders in Minneapolis said in interviews with The Washington Post that they were aware of the officer’s involvement.

“There is no question that he is the officer,” Somali activist Omar Jamal told The Post. “We knew this right after the shooting, but we didn’t want to release the name.”

The Minneapolis Police Federation declined to comment and referred questions to Noor’s attorney. A spokesman for the Minneapolis Police Department directed inquiries to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, the agency investigating the shooting, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday morning.

Dear WaPo,

After Islam, it’ll be you, you slime. I hope that your future is filled with fear and that your fears prove to be true.

The importation of savage 3rd world dullards is a pivotal part of the elite agenda to destroy Western civilization.

The white, heterosexual male part of it at least.

“one of fewer than a dozen Somali American officers in the department.”

The LGBT Chief of Police, might want to collect fewer or more than a dozen sidearms from these officers, until this is all cleared up.

I just do not understand the Left's obsession with protecting islam!

The structure of islam, melds with communism on paper...and if you can get them to promise to kill you last, if you help them, is always a big motavator for someone who thinks islam or communism is more fair for them than Republicans and Conservatives will ever be.

Time and time again they spin a narrative about a right wing violent rampage and then when party affiliation becomes known we are told don’t rush to judgement.

They do it to establish a link in peoples minds. The lie cannot be walked back any more than a judge can expect a juror to disregard a claim made in the courtroom after it’s been said.

Washington Post Warns Of Islamophobic backlash....

When there is a backlash, and I don't mean if I mean when, they won't have to make up stories. I'm confident it will be quite clear.

If this had been my wife and I could find that POS that killed her, he would be dead and I would be in jail or dead.

We were due for another backlash warning. We keep getting those warnings, but the promised backlash never materializes, just yet another terrorist attack from yet another lone wolf who is never named and described until well after the attack.

Somalis and Pakistanis should simply be banned from the USA

There may be some good individuals in those places, but as a whole, they are violent, illiterate, corrupt countries, with backward cultures, and literally NOTHING to offer the USA

Brought in by liberals so that they, the liberals, can sleep peacefully at night; or daytime the way some of them walk around in a daze.

This whole “backlash” theme is nothing more than the Left’s ongoing intimidation tactic. And it works every time.

Whenever outrage is completely justified, the Left via the propaganda media blare out: “FEARS OF BACKLASH”. Since Liberals love Muslims and want last after the importation of more third world Muslim Democrats to dilute White Judeo-Christians, the whole aim of the, “fears of backlash” is aimed directly at Conservatives.

They seek to debase the normal human reaction by normal people. They are perfectly willing to accept this type of collateral damage to keep the hope of importing more Democrats and displacing Judeo-Christians. Therefore, they seek to immediately emasculate ant potential political groundswell for action before it ever has a chance to start and they do this by shouting “backlash!” as a means of intimidation that anyone who resists may be guilty of “backlash”, which of course suggests racism. And there is nothing more potent in the liberal handbook than to impugn and destroy someone by declaring them racist.

The California Muslim shootings.
The Florida Muslim shootings.
The Minnesota Muslim shooting.
The Ft. Hood Muslim shootings.

Why should there not be a backlash? Isn’t a backlash normal, provoking a justifiable response of seeking protection, such as a national travel ban? Or building a wall?

Whenever I hear the “fears of backlash” I know this is the Left actively working to intimidate by putting people on notice that the Left may brand and ruin you as a racist if dare incite anything they suspect as a backlash that would thwart their immigration policy efforts.

I googled “Australian woman” last night to catch the news videos...

one was 12 minutes of a news conference where the mayor of Minneapolis said “I’ve also been talking to Somali leaders to hear their questions and their comments”

OKaaaay...

But WHY ???

None of them are witnesses or part of the investigation process and they aren’t family to the VICTIM...

Who cares what they have to say...

do you have to check in with them ???

Oh, yes: hang Noor from the nearest lamp-post and leave his corpse to twist in the wind until it rots off the rope.

...

So says the lynch mob on FR.
