Full Title: Minneapolis Star Tribune Blames 'Anti-Muslim Tensions' for St. Cloud Mass Stabbing by 'Soldier of the Islamic State'

Just hours after a young Somali immigrant stabbed nine people at a shopping mall in St. Cloud, a mid-sized town in central Minnesota, the far-Left Minneapolis Star Tribune published an article hinting that the suspect may have been inspired by "anti-Muslim tensions." The article was later scrubbed and replaced with a new article that directly raised the question of whether the attack by Dahir Adan was motivated by previous anti-Muslim incidents in the city. .....

But at 2:42 p.m. today, Pat Pheifer of the Star Tribune published an article, now removed and replaced on the newspaper's website, titled "Anti-Muslim Tension Isn't New in St. Cloud."

I screen captured the article before it was scrubbed and replaced.

Such reporting, blaming non-Muslims for what is now clearly an attack inspired by a suspect inspired by radical Islam, in the absence of any evidence to support the claim, is itself inflammatory.

One could even claim that such unsupported assertions by the American media actually aid and justify the Islamic State's "persecuted-Muslims" narrative.

Yellow journalism at its worst, otherwise there'd be no need to 'scrub the article'.

We have found this little Gem on his Facebook https://www.facebook.com/dmoney007

This "Mufti Ismail Menk" had a little Incident with Dzhokar Tsarnaev in 2013 on twitter on the Day of the Boston Bombing.

From the Article :

"This was the final retweet sent out by Dzhokar Tsarnaev. The teenager was wounded during a police shoot-out in which his brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed.

Whilst on a trip to Hong Kong, Menk was alerted to his “involvement” in the Boston bombings after reports surfaced in the Huffington Post that he was a radical scholar inspiring young men to commit acts of terror.

Menk has since been labelled a "radical cleric" by CNN."

And this Little Ass Miner liked him on Facebook.

How Very Interesting.

Just like the open “anti-Nazi” hatreds in the 1930s forced Germany to start World War II ....

Oh, God. It’s never anyone’s fault but the white man or the Christian. These leftist zombies should be permanently locked up in insane asylums. Sending to re-education camps would be too good for them.

Typical liberal response... BLAME THE VICTIMS.

Chaos heightens in the USA; soon to replace Europe as site for RoP extreme, evil activity. Sad times going to be made ‘sadder’ if Hilda gets in...meanwhile, “officials are baffled as to motive.”

The Minnesota Crescent-Tribune continues to give aid and comfort to the enemy.

Stockholm syndrome at its worst. This guy could have been plunging his knife into the Star Tribune editor’s chest and his last thought would be “I forgive you. You are only killing me because of all the anti-Muslim hate that the Rightwing has created.”

According to the Democrat Liberal press i MN, the sheep should lie down and let the wolves eat them, perhaps supplying them with a linen napkin and fine cutlery before the meal. This is why the Somalis invaded MN. The people there are too stupid for survival.

I just found out the Mets hosted the Muslim Mayor of London. I think I’m going to need my inhaler.

We are so screwed when the American people still fall for the evil media whores narratives! Ovomit and the liberals with the help of the RINOS have opened the gates of hell and now we are going to have a taste of what France and these other countries are tasting first hand! Somehow we need to get rid of the Muslim community they are not compatible with our Constitution and our way of living. America has always been the grand prize for the demonic Islam caliphate and they’re aiming for us with everything they have complements of Obama and the evil witch from hell! This bitch should be in the dumps by now but the people are so freakin stupid.

Sure, whenever I feel tense, I run out and stab anyone not of my religion.

I’m sure the Red Star Tribune will soon note that the mall was a “gun free zone” and the hero who took down the attacker should be punished for having a firearm in the mall.

[ConservativeDude]

in a sense, this is correct. until everyone submits, isis still has work to do. therefore, anything islamic is absolutely inciting terrorism.

[tiki]

Hey, I’ve deplorable, racist, xenophobic and several other degrading things and I haven’t even thought of stabbing anyone much less put out a bomb.

One thing I’d like to see is the families of these terrorists deported. I know it would be hard but if they aren’t already citizens boot their arses out.

[Be Careful]

wow......
