Around Christmas or more likely around Ramadan?

[pepsionice]

Just an observation...but when you observe Islamic men over the age of forty...they all have some form of health issue. This comes from the repeated (yearly) episode of Ramadan...when they go for twelve-plus hours a day without liquid replenishment or food. I think any lab team ever did a study on the kidney issues....more than half of all Islamic guys have serious problems.

Perfect explanation of his culinary preferences!;)

NYT introducing mental illness and substance abuse to deflect attention away from Islam.

Why do we allow these savages to move to America?

Yeah, lets open the floodgates for these Animals.

Mr. Venegas recalled, the father asked where he could buy a goat; he especially wanted a pregnant animal, saying that goat fetus was a delicacy.

“Around Christmas one year” seems an odd reference to muslims feasting on a goat they took some trouble to obtain. As if getting a goat for Christmas was their family tradition? Let me guess, the author was stepping lightly over the religion of Islam.

The closest Ramadan to Christmas was in Dec 1999-Jan 2000, and though there’s no guarantee this was for Ramadan, I think it probable since they procured 2 goats at one time, which is traditional, possibly one to kill at the beginning of Ramadan and the other for the feast at the end.

Father Mentally Ill

You don't say?...

[Lumper20]

How were/are Pakistanis allowed into this country? Our Pres and immigration has gone to hell as I recall in 69-70 I was in charge/command of a unit in the 6th Group with Pakistan as our AO. We had men taking Urdu.

...only ate the goat?...

The idiom that says, “the apple does not fall far from the tree,” holds true here.

[Gaffer]

This article is just one long pretrial screed of self-serving testimony to protect anyone else in that family from prosecution for collusion.

The fact the father was a nutjob Muslim doesn’t make a difference, nor do all the other tidbits about the terrorist and his wife. There is nothing there to prove the couple “kept a tight lid” on anything. Nothing about the other visitors in the night, nothing about online actions, nothing that speaks PROOF.

There is a very complicated backstory and run up here as to how this happened (radicalization) and we aren’t going to get the truth from a couple of effing NYT reporters, nor probably from the government now since they turned the home over to reporters for tabloid pictures.

Poor guy, sounds a bit sheepish... in an islamic kind of way. What's the goats name?

[BigEdLB]

I ate goat curry at a local Indian restaurant buffet. Did not inquire as to whether the goat was pregnant, as I knew the restaurant owners were Hindu.

UNCIVILIZED!!! And they are taking over our GOVERMENT!

From 2012 to 2014, he showed up twice a day for services at the Islamic Center of Riverside, sometimes as early as 4:30 a.m. and again in the evenings, said Mustafa H. Kuko, the director of the center. In a mosque where attendance on Fridays regularly tops 1,000, Mr. Farook stood out as one of the most devout members, wearing long robes to Friday services.

Would it be too much to hope that the FBI is conducting surveillance at this mosque?

Doubtful.

An old mentally ill sheet head eating a pregnant goat . . . and his son is devoted to ISIS - nope, never would have seen that coming in a million years /SARC

I’ll take a drunk over a radical Islamic terrorist any day.
