...but we KNOW all Muslims are innocent in the eyes of the MSM! It's the evil Christians we gotta watch out for!

Shhhhhh! You slandering "The Religion of Peace."

I just heard Rush compare GWB to Richard Nixon. Damn Rush is smart.

[snarks_when_bored]

So we are left with at least two possibilities as to the boy's motives.

• He adopted a radical Muslim hatred of the west
• He was so traumatized by his youth he just snapped and there is no religious influence

Neither possibility is discussed in any story about this incident, however.

The last sentence is not accurate. As of yesterday afternoon, the Associated Press started floating the story that Talovic was a post-traumatic stress syndrome sufferer:

You want things to be worse? start pushing people into a corner. You didn't cast aspersions upon all cannibals when you found out Dahmer was one, did you?

LOL it's still in bad taste for the media to be banging the bigotry drum. Bigotry happens when you use the actions of a few to blanket indict the many.

[BunnySlippers]

Is that supposed to be a beard?

Home made video is here. Look for "home video".

It does not show much but you can hear what's happening. The off duty officer was very brave considering he was in plain clothes which could have led to confusion with the other officers arriving and that he had only one clip of ammo.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

The real motive of the media in this is to hide the truth from us. Some would say that the media don't want us to panic.
Others would say that the media feel that the unmentionable people are poor, downtrodden, underclass have-nots and therefore should be forgiven for whatever evil they do.

Here's an incomplete list of Sudden Jihad Syndrome terrorists who were all described as acting alone by the cops and/or FBI:

Ali R. Warrayat
An Arizona Home Depot employee jumped out of the car’s path. To drown out the man’s yells, Warrayat reached over to his car radio and blasted Arabic music before crashing through the front doors.

Charles Bishop (Bishra)
A note written by the 15-year-old boy who crashed a Cessna into a Tampa office building indicated he supported Osama bin Laden and that the act was deliberate, authorities say.

Haider Mohammed
Contacted by Palm Springs Police, FBI investigators described Muslim who was arrested after threatening to 'Kill All Jews' as "not a person of interest."

Hesham Mohamed Ali Hadayet
The suspect, Egyptian-born Hesham Mohamed Ali Hadayet, left two people dead and five injured at the El Al airlines ticket counter at Los Angeles International Airport before being fatally shot by a security guard.

John Muhammad
Federal prosecutors filed a criminal complaint, charging alleged Beltway Sniper John Muhammad with 20 felony counts, including extortion and intent to commit murder.

Marc Lepine (Gamal Gharbhi)
For 45 minutes on Dec. 6, 1989 an enraged gunman roamed the corridors of Montreal's École Polytechnique and killed 14 women.

Mohammed Ali Alayed
After apparently undergoing a religious awakening, a Saudi Arabian student in Houston killed his Jewish friend by slashing his throat.

Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar
Just-graduated student named Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar, 22, and an Iranian immigrant, drove a sport utility vehicle into a crowded pedestrian zone at University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. He struck nine people.

Naveed Afzal Haq
Eyewitnesses told the Seattle News that Mr. Haq announced, "I'm a Muslim American; I'm angry at Israel," and then began shooting. He killed one woman and wounded five others.

Omeed Aziz Popal
Up to 14 hurt in San Francisco hit-and-run spree. Seven are critical. The driver believed to have struck and killed a man in Fremont earlier.

Sulejman Talovic
Police Tuesday identified the gunman accused in Monday night's Trolley Square shooting as Sulejman Talovic, an 18-year-old Bosnian refugee who lived in Salt Lake City.

When you have victims of Sudden Jihad Syndrome piling up all over the country, the reasonable person would conclude -- that's terrorism.

Whether the root cause of these rampages is in the genes of these maniacs or the result of a conspiracy is completely irrelevant.

[NewCenturions]

True. I've only heard the guy described as "Muslim" on Rush and here.

RE: old media ignores

And that's the way it is February, 2007.

Society of Professional Propagandizing Journalists Diversity guidelines for professional "journalists" requires it since within days of 9/11/01.

To wit,

Avoid using word combinations such as 'Islamic terrorist' or 'Muslim extremist' . . .

Avoid using terms such as 'jihad' unless you are certain of their precise meaning ... [jihad means] to exert oneself for the good of Islam and to better oneself.

Ask men and women from within targeted communities to review your coverage and make suggestions. [read: censor]

When writing about terrorism, remember to include white supremacist, radical anti-abortionists and other groups with a history of such activity.

"Bigotry happens when you use the actions of a few to blanket indict the many." You said

Arguments based on emotionally laden words "Bigot" are not sound.

Of course we judge larger groups based on the actions of representatives of this population. In fact there is nothing wrong with it and it is sound reasoning to do so.

Why am I not surprised that this guy was a Muslim?
I remember back in December, the cops busted a wannabe Muslim terrorist in Ohio who planned on attacking a shopping mall with grenades hidden in trash cans.

[GrandEagle]

As a nation we have no mechanism left for survival.
We willingly ignore the fact that our enemy is our enemy. Islam declared war on US. We didn't start the war, we didn't want the war, but one sure fire way to lose the war is to deny that our enemy is our enemy.

[silverleaf]

It wont be ignored if someone cleans up the sound on the mall video and picks up and confirms the "Allah Akbar" chant in the background when the police confronted him.

[Publius6961]

Worse, the New York Times is making the wild assumption that it is "Bosnian immigrants", not the rest of America, that should be afraid for their lives in theirs titled "Anti-Bosnian Backlash Feared in Utah".

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

My anger prompts me to refrain from commenting on this type of article, but that is worse than indifference.
It never occured to the mental midgets at the New York Times that, absent the crazed frenzy of mass murder by the muslim killer, no "Anti-Bosnian immigrant backlash" charecterization would be possible!

RE: Sudden Jihad Syndrome

Good one!

A search found only one hit on "Sudden Jihad Syndrome" from more than a year ago. It's catchy and should be used often, IMO.

The hit came with

TERRORISM 2006, Special Bibliography No. 330 August 2006 Compiled by Maxwell AFB, AL personnel. Hundreds of references at

http://www.au.af.mil/au/aul/bibs/terror06.htm

Thanks!

[Publius6961]

Thank you for that excellent collection of individual muslims acting out their rage, and getting away with excuses.

I have saved it and will repost it at every opportunity. The clueless right here on FR, for whatever reason, ignorance, stupidity, political correctness, kum-ba-ya syndrome, whatever, still refuse to see the obvious.

I hope that you don't mind my "borrowing" it.
