From KTVU in San Francisco, heres a little bit of information that somehow failed to make it into any of the media reports on yesterdays hit and run attacks in San Francisco.
Watch as reporter Rob Roth says a witness heard the suspect refer to himself as a terrorist, then without taking a breath tells us this was not an act of terrorism.

I agree, one of the reasons behind the regular denial of the fact that Islamic terrorist activities are - well, Islamic terrorist activities - is that the US doesn't want to find itself facing too many enemies at once.
I think another fear is that naming them will give them some kind of cohesion and encourage domestics, such as the Black Muslims, to get active. SF, incidentally, was the scene of the famous Zebra Killings of the 1970's, where a group of Black Muslims established the killing of a white or Asian person as their rite of initiation. So this has been going on for awhile, and I think one thing that many authorities fear is that these groups would all revive and find common cause if it is made clear that Islam is the unifying factor in these attacks.

"They're saying he's crazy. But that doesn't negate him being a terrorist." Insanity is a prerequisite for being an Islamist....or terrorist.

He probably drove past a church during his rampage and converted and became a Baptist.

The media has sort of painted itself into a corner. The Feds insist that there is no such thing as a home grown ROP terrorist, so righteous citizens don't start popping Muslims on sight, for suspicion of planning an attack. At the same time, real home grown terroists, who ain't got the smarts God gave a goat, insist on going jihadi and running over young and old liberals in SUVs. (They only like doing this in places where they KNOW they won't get shot...) What's a liberal thinking news organization to do?

Why does it matter if the guy was nuts or not? IMHO all terrorists are nuts.
If a nut kills a gay it's a "hate crime," but if a nutty muslim kills Jews it's just one of those "inexplicable" things???

SJS - Sudden Jihad Syndrome
A term coined and written about by Daniel Pipes. Do web search to find his articles on this. In a nutshell it is where a normal, civilized-seeming muslim out of the blue carries out an act that is deemed "not terrorism" but in reality is an inspired act by the muslim perp to act out jihad. For example the incident in Seattle.

No surprise, we had our own terrorist over in Chapel Hill, NC who plowed down 9 students in his evil SUV a few months back. He admitted he was taking revenge on Americans for deaths of Muslims.
Needless to say they had a candlelight vigil..for the terrorist.

Same political correct denial by the MSM as the muslim who drove into the crowd at the U of NC.
They buried that story and they are attempting to buy this one.
The same story again. "Oh he's been under a lot of stress. Oh he's got mental problems."
Yahh, he does have mental problems. He's a jihadist!

If 'we the people' are kept in the dark about the details, then yes it is partly the media's fault. However, I'll go get my own info to take care of myself.
