also remember they were wary of germans in certain areas of the country too. they sent many german americans to fight in the pacific instead of europe.

They haven’t felt crap but some cold shoulders and some angry stairs. Maybe they should give up Islam and turn to rationality.

Muslims know who the radicals and fundamentalist’s are in their community,but they won’t turn them out of fear.


Sounds a bit like the problems in the inner city. Snitches get stitches?

Even the non-Muslim neighbor was allegedly afraid to call about the suspicious activity he observed because he was afraid of being labeled “anti-Islamic”.

This appears to be a can’t win situation for everyone.

If you don’t like the backlash, maybe you should rein in your savages...

Just a thought...

“She was expecting backlash at the Islamic private school?”


Frankly,I don’t blame her.

You know how violent those white,Christian,far right,Jew loving,gun happy Republicans are.

They are always shooting innocents and blowing things up./s

Such fear is understandable after the massacres of American Muslims after 9-11.

And many of our Leftists are supporting them in this argument.

Patriots need to research open source intel on any mosques, muzzie communities, muzzie organizations in their AO.

Names of imams, leaders, then check social sites for further networking for these organizations. One can create phony profiles to delve deeper at a possible unseen friends lists. Addresses, phone numbers can be queried further.

No. I'm sorry, but this is one of those fabricated media fantasies that crops up every time this sort of thing happens. Its authors take the American people for vengeful beasts and hold themselves above all that, and frankly, that part of it disgusts me.

It is, however, a rather belated acknowledgment that just maybe Muslims are involved after all, which is more than we've gotten from the Post so far. And it does point out a rather interesting double standard. Has there ever been a single story about conservatives being anxious about blame for an incident being laid unfairly in our direction?

Or is the near unanimity of the media more concerned with heaping blame where it does not belong in the interest of scoring political points? It's a rhetorical question, actually, because the answer is so embarrassingly clear. Yes, of course there's a double standard. And so if I am personally unsympathetic toward this sort of ridiculous melodrama, it's because it's been earned.

There was a story a week or so ago about a Muslim protest in Paris about the Bataclan attack. 30 showed up.

I’d expect similar here, over this one.

Try being a Christian in a Muslim country.

Exactly what Obama desires.

Good point @59

The most troubling thing to me with this attack was the fact that he attacked people he knew who considered him a friend. It is troubling no matter what, but his victims held a baby shower for him and worked with him! How warped is that? These are people he knew and saw (presumably) several days a week. Sudden Jihad syndrome is evil no matter what, but the apparent duplicity and boiling hatred that was not picked up on by his co-workers or apparently his family, friends, and Imam - how do you defend against that? You can’t.

Reminds me of some of the stories from our soldiers in the Middle East when their interpreters or “host-country partners” that they have worked with suddenly kill. The idea that you might not have any warning will create distrust - it’s only human nature.
