As a gay person, the scariest words you will ever hear are "Allahu akbar."

We’re concerned about “the backlash” now.
Seems like “they” want to use “religion of peace” and “no way associated with terror activities” a lot. “They” also like to use “assault style weapon” and “battlefield weapon” and “machine gun” and “evil guns designed to spray bullets” a lot.
Much, much easier to put the guilt on an inanimate object right?
Islam needs to be banned in the US. Islam is an anethma to the Constitution and the values of western civilization. People who do not give up this cult must move back to Islamic countries.
Um.. Guns would be a scapegoat, muslims would be the perpetrator(s).
Solved!
Take the guns away and the crazies will use explosives, resulting in much greater carnage.
Some miss the point. The most recent jihadist was only an AMERICAN born in this country due to the fact proper vetting of the Muslim’s parents had failed to distinguish their transgressions. If vetting had been properly accomplished they would not have been allowed to reside in this country. Little guy would not have been born in this country, given citizenship papers and this story line would have been changed. One point...which is sharp indeed.
Obama is trying to divert attention away from the fact that he has no strategy (or maybe he has no intention) of combating Islamic terrorism by trying to turn the Orlando attack into a gun control issue. We need to keep emphasizing that the issue is Islamic terrorism, not guns. Nobody died of a gunshot wound on 9/11. Nobody died of a gun shot wound at the Boston Marathon. Nobody died of a gunshot wound at the airport in Brussels. Radical Islam will use whatever means they have at their disposal to kill as many of us “infidels” as they possibly can.
DC elites fighting for confiscation of one and inundation under the other while under the influence of foreign contributors.
‘As Secretary of State, Clinton was loathe to use such language because”....she was cadging million$ from muslim governments for the Clinton Crime Family Slush Fund. And probably intends to continue doing it, even as POTUS, if she should win; God forbid.
Does that clear it up any?
One side will scapegoat one. The other side will scapegoat the other.
And this pundit falls into the same trap with regard to containing the scourge of Islam.
I am curious how it is scapegoating Muslims when the killed pledged his allegiance to ISIS during a break in the killings.
I just visited DU and found out that homophobes are the cause. The guy was gay and our society made it unacceptable for him to admit it. Not his dad or his religion but the entire homophobic country drove him to this. He wasn’t really a Muslim (like his dad) and just used ISIS as an excuse so nobody would find out he’s gay.
Also, it doesn’t need to be said again but if we had gun control legislation he wouldn’t have killed people. Somehow, people who don’t respect laws about murder will respect laws keeping them from owning guns.
And these people will be voting in November.
Gotta love libtard logic. “You can’t fight an ideology.”. Steyn hit the nail square on Rush yesterday. Good thing no one told our grandparents that because Nazism was an ideology and they seemed to find a way to defeat it. Once everyone who has the idea in their head is DEAD then one HAS defeated an ideology. We need to learn from our grandparents.
Just doing something for the sake of doing something is not a solution.
Trump’s immigration plan would not have prevented Orlando or Fort Hood. It may have prevented San Bernadino - at least from the wife angle and maybe Boston.
In all those cases, there were ample warning signs which went unreported or unheeded. A start would be to cut the PC crap and take warning signs seriously - both the citizenry and the authorities.
There’s a fine line between free speech and threats, but if there are Imams who are advocating Islamic terrorism, they need to be shut down.
We need to look at countries with success on fighting terrorism. Israel, although not a failsafe, has done a good job protecting its citizens in that den of vipers over there. They do one huge thing we’re not “allowed” to do - they profile. They also present a large and overt security presence in public spaces. But heaven forbid if here a soldier is seen anywhere displaying a weapon!
Obama’s basically ceded the Middle East to ISIS. The drone strikes are like trying to catch a mosquito with chopsticks. There is SO much more that could be done to cut off support for ISIS and lend support to the good guys over there. That wouldn’t even involve a large military presence over there.
In this day and age, we have to face the fact that there is no such thing as 100% security. We have to be alert and aware and be prepared to defend ourselves and our families. Don’t go to lightly guarded gun free zones such as big night clubs. Always know what you’re going to do and how to get out in case something happens.
It’s foolhardy to depend on Big Brother to protect us. Trading one Big Brother (Obama) for another Big Brother (Trump) is not the solution.
Give a gun to a gay. How soon will a gay person kill muslims with it?
Give a gun to radical islamist. How soon will a radical islamist kill a gay with it?
Its clear that gun isn’t the problem nor gays, but radical islamists
The crook-o-beast did not say “Radical Islam”, she said “Radical Islamism”. Is that the same?
It’s the culture - it’s the culture - it’s the culture.
There are two major scenarios for rampant homicide in this country at this time: the skyrocketing murder rates in Chicago, Baltimore, and other urban areas, and the increasing incidents of homicidal terrorism by Muslims. And the problem in each case is not deranged nut cases, it’s the culture the perps are marinated in.
In the cities, of course, it’s the ghetto culture, where “oppression” and “police brutality” are used to excuse violence that is celebrated in hip-hop “music”.
And with the Islamists it’s a distorted view of God’s will as laid out in the teachings of their Koranic life manual, and the warped example of their so-called prophet.
Far from proving that guns are at the heart of the problem, those two areas prove exactly the opposite. Urban violence is the worst in those locations where gun control is the most strict. And the worst case of domestic Islamic terrorism (9/11) took place without the use of a single gun.
None of the ghetto violence is going to stop until the ghetto culture is changed - that will require leadership, but will mostly depend on the residents themselves.
None of the Islamic terrorism is going to diminish until those in that cult undergo their own Reformation - and that doesn’t look probable. In the meantime, importing more Muslims only serves to increase that cultural influence and embolden those warped by it: that needs to stop now.
It doesn’t matter where he was born. Increased surveillance in mosques, reduction of Muslims entering the country, doubling down on ISIS, stopping the money flow from the Saudis, energy independence, all will reduce the climate which made this guy comfortable. The dems want the chaos.
