Deseret News hits "ultraconservative" websites for suggesting Salt Lake shooting was jihad-motivated

The MSM wants to spin the massacre as an updated version of the Columbine killings in Colorado, blaming the killings on social isolation, adolescent angst, and, of course, the too ready availability of firearms. Despite the fact that former Yugoslavia was a Communist state for over 40 years, the Bosnian nationality is essentially distinguished from the Croats and the Serbs by their religion. The Bosnians and the Albanians who fought the Serbs in the 1990s received considerable assistance from their fellow Muslims in the Middle East. These Muslims of European ancestry are far from immune from the radicalism evident in the rest of the Muslim world.

However, saying that this killer was Muslim would upset the MSM lie that Islam is a "religion of peace."

'The writer doesn't understand...'sic'..."
Huh? The writer used it and used it properly.

"Instead, the onus is on those with the poor taste to suggest such a thing:"

This simply has to stop. I outraged that our freedom of speech is being attacked by hating bigoted ultra-liberals in the media! They are trying to silence the truth!

[Earthdweller]

I am outraged!

A bit past midway through, does anyone else hear what sounds like "Allah-hu akbar! Allah-hu akbar!" - just after one of the cops shouts "Police"?

I can't make it out clearly with the mall music and echo. Gonna have to take someone with better hearing then me or a sound technician to filter it.

Just last night I was saying to my mother over the phone that I thought him being Muslim was less contributing then him being an angry teenager, UNLESS (and I stated this last night) UNLESS he was shouting Alla'hu Akbar(sp) as he was shooting.

Regrettably, we are only seeing the beginning. Take two asprins, and come back and see me in two-and one-half years.

If it is there it can be filtered out with the technology.
I don't have the expertise, but there are those that do.

I have wondered the same thing. I believe if he had uttered some Christian phrase there would be the headline in every lamestream media story - "Christan Crazy Man Kills Innocent Mall Shoppers". It is just plain sickening.

Until somebody can prove otherwise I believe these are test runs. I also believe that if there was a careful study of Mall tapes you could find watchers,seeing how it went.

The writer of the article does not understand it. The writer quoted by him does. The former makes a really dumb remark after the quote "Note the 'sics'. The message here is only those who are idiots could possibility think this way." That is NOT what the "sics" mean.

I should have been clearer that there are two writers here and only one is guilty.

When Obama was criticized by the Australian leader, he dodged the questioned and vilified and whined racism. The same here. Vilify and dodge the facts.

[Earthdweller]

The silent majority may elect to keep silent in the name of tolerance but they will not have silence forced down their throats by these intolerant bigoted liars in the MSM!

Tell the truth!

[USArmySpouse]

If the shooter had been a Christian Iraq War Veteran, every article would have started:

John Smith, an Iraq War Veteran and conservative Christian, killed ...

I remember the DC sniper articles always highlighted that the adult shooter was a 'Gulf War Veteran' instead of other obvious parts of his bio.

The MSM pretty much sucks.

[BunkDetector]

Okeedokee. I see what you mean now.

[Americanexpat]

I can not remember any incident where a Muslim shot people in the USA prior to the beltway snipers. Since that time there have been a lot more shooting incidents involving people with Muslim names. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Ajka Omerovic said she never knew her nephew to shoot firearms. Although he quit school at 16, Sulejman Talovic often attended Friday prayers at the Al-Noor mosque on 700 East in Salt Lake City, said Salih Omerovic, Ajka's cousin. Salih Omerovic said the young man stopped coming to the prayers in December, when he landed a full-time job at Aramark Uniform Services in South Salt Lake. This was from the Desertnews or the sl tribune of today, I read all the articles, and I can't recall which one I got it out of, but the claim that it's not known if he was a practicing Muslim is debunked.. He DID attend a local mosque.

[Wings-n-Wind]

Dear Deseret....

The obvious....
Isn't a mystery...

[Red Boots]

There is no record that Talovic attended any of the mosques in the Salt Lake area, according to both Tarek Mosseir, a spokesman for the Islamic Society of Greater Salt Lake, or Bobby Ravish of Muslim Forum.

How nice, but I found this in a SL Tribune article today.

Although he quit school at 16, Sulejman Talovic often attended Friday prayers at the Al-Noor mosque on 700 East in Salt Lake City, said Salih Omerovic, Ajka's cousin. Salih Omerovic said the young man stopped coming to the prayers in December, when he landed a full-time job at Aramark Uniform Services in South Salt Lake.

I guess his aunt hadn't heard the offical line from the mosque.

[Earthdweller]

And remember....NOONE was harming the local Muslims when this happened! Yet CAIR has the nerve to chastise mainstream America for being upset and sending them emails!

I am sick and tired of being told to shut up by these people. When will they come to the defense of ALL of the people in this country that they supposedly claim as their own?

Could be, but I'm not sure.
In another tape there -- Barrett Dodds was above the shooter and helping the Ogden officer locate the shooter below on the first floor. He said that "the guy was having fun, smiling as he went." The reporter then said: "You're not the only one that's mentioned that."

Islamic POS!
