What does a jihadi have to do to get credit these days? If screaming “Allahu akbar” isn’t enough to make his motive clear, what is? Would he have to drop his knife and announce: “I follow Allah. I pledge my allegiance to the Islamic State. That is why I did what I did”? No, a convert to Islam named Edward Archer said that after he shot and seriously wounded police officer Jesse Hartnett, and the Mayor of Philadelphia, Jim Kenney, responded: “In no way shape or form does anyone in this room believe that Islam or the teaching of Islam has anything to do with what you’ve seen on the screen….It is abhorrent. It is terrible and it does not represent the religion or any of its teachings. This is a criminal with a stolen gun who tried to kill one of our officers. It has nothing to do with being a Muslim or following the Islamic faith.”
In sum, there is absolutely nothing that will convince today’s authorities that an Islamic jihad terrorist is indeed an Islamic jihad terrorist. They just refuse to believe such a person could exist. In this case, German authorities are saying that the perpetrator was mentally ill and drug-addicted. He had a German name and was not a migrant. Very well. Why do so many mentally ill people act out their mental illness in this same way? Maybe this man was a convert to Islam. That he was mentally ill and drug addicted does not in the least preclude the possibility that he converted: he wouldn’t be the first psychically marginal person to find a validation for his violent rage in Islam’s doctrine of jihad. If authorities have no record of his conversion, that doesn’t mean he didn’t convert, or simply identify with the warriors of jihad. The ineluctable fact remains that there is no record of any non-Muslim ever screaming “Allahu akbar” while committing acts of violence. The denial and willful ignorance of German authorities, and authorities all over the West, is suicidal, as it precludes any honest and thorough assessment of the problem that the global jihad poses.
Seriously, I teach at a college, most of the kids yell, “Admiral Akbar!”
Especially if it’s a trap.
But if he had stubbed his toe and muttered “G-d dam- it,” while slicing people into bacon, he would have been labeled a Christian right-wing terrorist and liberals would be demanding we shutter churches and deny gun rights to practicing believers.
....and if he had shouted “White power!”...?
“Religion of Peace”—THAT is the mantra. It will NOT change.
ALL news is filtered through it. If it does not fit, then IT IS NOT NEWS. IT WILL NOT BE REPORTED.
Got it?
Of course there’s ‘no evidence’. Is there EVER?
Must not offend the ROP!
What does a jihadi have to do to get credit these days?
Kill someone under a Republican president!
And which reporter shouted “Are you F...ing serious?”
This is the best example of media lies in a few days. These scumbags think we are children who actually believe them.
