Brazil buries 12 school kids killed by gunman (and AP covers of Islamic aspect)
AP ^ | 8 April 2011 | MARCO SIBAJA

Parents screamed in anguish and clung to coffins Friday as families began burying 12 children gunned down in the halls of their elementary school. A black police helicopter dropped white rose petals over mourners and a nation was left struggling for answers.

A few details began to emerge about Oliveira: that he was a good student with a history of psychological problems who attended the Tasso school; that he showed a fascination with the 9/11 attacks in the U.S.; and that he spent a lot of time on his computer watching videos about how to fire weapons.

The motive for the attack wasn't known

The letter also states that the gunman should not be touched by anyone who is "impure" unless they wear gloves.

Oliveria was fascinated with guns, the brother said, and was "very impressed" with the 9/11 attacks in the U.S. "He said, for example, that he had 'a lot of desire to destroy an airplane, like that guy did in the United States,'"

This article is shameful. It dances all around the fact that this guy converted to Islam two years ago but the AP refuses to mention it...

They have all concealed the Islamic aspect, even though his family members commented on it. The WSJ even reported that he said he wanted to die (Islamic “martyr”) and left a note asking someone devoted to “God,” which I’m sure was Allah, to go out to his grave and say the prayers pray for him - but never mentioned the Islamic connection.

He was probably crazy but so was Mohammed and that’s probably what Islam attracts. And if they’re not crazy when they get there, they sure are after about six months.

It’s Obama’s fault.

If he hadn’t gone to Rio and proclaimed, “Muslims of the World, unite!” this wouldn’t have happened.

Well, actually that’s satire. But just barely. He only gives those Caliphate speeches in Islamic countries. So he probably didn’t mention it in Brazil.

So it's Pastor Terry Jones' fault.

Here’s a lady who is not afraid to stand up and fight Islam:

Sue Myrick, Republican, U.S. Representative North Carolina’s 9th congressional district, serving since 1995

Myrick, Shadegg, Broun, Franks call for CAIR Investigations

“It’s frightening to think that an organization with clear-cut ties to terrorism could have a hand in influencing policy – especially national security policy – within our government,” said Rep. Myrick. “The investigations that we’re asking for are simple, and I’m hopeful that they will bring to light any and all information regarding the goals of CAIR.”

Rep. Myrick Connects the Dots of the Recent US Terror Plots

“There is no current evidence that materially connects any of the terror plots recently revealed. However, I have taken sentences directly from FBI press releases, and FBI investigative documents, and highlighted the clear connection below . These plots are all tied together by one thing: a global ideology that is self-identified by its believers as jihadist, or “jihadiyya”. It is hard to ignore this fact when in these cases below several of these men very clearly, and very directly, state that they followed this ideology (jihad), and wanted to kill.

I find this connection disturbing seeing as these plots come on the heels of the Administration’s efforts to rename ‘jihadists’ - which is what they call themselves -’violent extremists’.”

How many government officials do you see taking a stand like Mrs. Myrick??
Has this lady ever been recognized here?

“The Arabic news service al-Arabiya has reported that Oliveira was a convert to Islam. “

This guy's no help either:

"Brazil's justice minister, José Eduardo Cardozo, promised a government "crusade" against gun ownership. "We have to fight strongly against this culture of armament, against this culture that makes people … commit this kind of atrocity," he said." Rio school shooting: first three funerals held for victims


The killer of mostly girls (10) was a jihadist. What a sick cult. Commit the worst atrocities, go out blazing and you're in heaven with your 72 virgins for eternity just like that - so they are taught. Crap fed to people who eat rocks and have no real future. Sick.

I like to imagine the eternal damnation these jihadists face having been judged by a just G-d. It helps ease the pain I feel for the families of the victims.

If they really don't want a re-occurrence they'd violate his "purity" on national TV and boil him in a vat of pig fat, burn his carcass and spread his ashes in the pig exhibit at the zoo. IMHO. /rant

Should your title have read: "Brazil buries 12 school kids killed by gunman (and AP covers up of Islamic aspect)"?

Hit abuse and ask the mod to change it ... bump! ;-)
