... ummm ... his religious affiliation is Zoroastrian, right?
Funny you should post the Verizon reference.
I was hearing yesterday on the news that the NSA, government, administration-whoever said “we have already used this PRISM thingy to stop a very high priority dangerous terror plot...blah blah blah....”
Yeah, I’ll believe that. I think these guys couldn’t find their own butt with both hands AND a flashlight.
Given the name, I would caution people not to jump to conclusions. The first name “Samir” is used by eastern Christians from the Middle East. I have met Christians (not new converts from Islam, but from long standing Christian families) with the name Samir. I don’t know whether that name is also used by people of other religions (i.e. Zoroastrianism, Islam, etc.).
We all ought to be aware that in the last few decades thousands of eastern Christians have left the Middle East and sought asylum elsewhere because of persecution.
Apparently, they used FBI to shoot that moslem in the back of the head during “questioning” in FLA two weeks ago.
Yeah well, I’ve seen a few zoroastrians who belong in a dungeon too.
Just sayin...
Ping
Those new gun laws are really working in CA./s
Did I read correctly that the “suspect” killed his own father and brother! Maybe he was radicalized and the father /brother were trying to stop him? Just a thought.
My comment was not intended to suggest that Zoroastrians were peaceable or otherwise, but rather to suggest that it is very possible that someone with the name Samir comes from a Christian background. And note that I say, “Christian background.” Not all those who call themselves Christian truly are Christian, and not all who profess to be Christian are peaceable.
Witness the conflict between “Catholic” and “Protestant” in Northern Ireland. Many there who identify themselves as Catholic or Protestant truly are peaceable, but the past bloodshed suggests that some who claim those identities have nothing to do with true Biblical Christianity.
Nice but they probably were Verizon customers however, under the Obama Administration I’m sure the PRISM S/W has a filter to eliminate any Muslim names and any calls to Muslim countries.
What's this Zoro thing?
LOL!!
Muslim? And, failure of California’s extreme Gun Control Nazi laws? No wonder Liberal Media is quickly quieting down this story....
Well, well, well. Nanny bloomers, difi, bobie boxcar, are you there? Did king hussein have anyone that might have been his son, if he had one, there? This ought to get you and the gabby and mark kelley-giffords travelin’ road show all giddy with another of the “too many times” statistical anamolies crap. No more of those deadly 10 round magazines. One round mags in kali after this. Intergalactic background checks for everyone over the age of 5. Yeah. We’ll add some more laws that won’t do a damn thing to prevent something like this from happening. Guns on campus? Not for the law abiding. Criminals? CRI-MI-NALS! Look it up some time.
declined to discuss what may have spurred the rampage.
There are a lot of Coptic Christians from Egypt in Southern California--and soon there will be a lot more.
