Associated Press ^

NICE, France (AP) — The Islamic State group on Saturday claimed the Tunisian man who barreled his truck into a crowd in the French resort city of Nice was a "soldier" of the group, the first claim of responsibility for an attack that has claimed 84 lives and wounded more than 200 people.

The claim — circulated on social media by a news outlet affiliated with the group — didn't name Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, the 31-year-old Tunisian who authorities say was behind the wheel as his truck crashed into a crowd of revelers at a fireworks display on Thursday. But the statement quoting a security member of the group said the man was following calls from IS to target nationals of countries fighting it.

Liberals will hug each other as usual then wait for the next attack. The attack in New Orleans basically turned into a gay pride occasion, and the cause of it was forgotten.

its hard to figure out is it their hate of America, capitalism, white people, Israel, or all of the above, that makes them apologize for Islam.

ISIS, Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Quada, etc - who cares?

They’re all teams in the same league.

The Islamic criminal declared he was, and
the French authorities knew he was ...
as the MSM lie and lie and lie and lie and lie.

I noticed that cable news held off giving out his name as long as they could. Local news in Nice identified Mohammed right away.

Gee, he’s Muslim. There’s a real bolt out of the blue.

Maybe the authorities always say the terrorist is a Lonewolf so they can work on tracking down other accomplices more easily

I think they took their time claiming him in case they were surprised again . . . they did not anticipate that the last guy was actually a homo. It probably hurts their recruitment a little.

I thought they figured out that the other homos made up the story about the Orlando terrorist being homo.

He didn't need to attend mosque, pray five times a day, make the Hajj, avoid pork and alcohol (Not 100% sure about the pork; can that EVER be cleansed?) as long as he killed Infidels and died doing so. That guaranteed him his place in Paradise.

Sudden Jihad syndrome is not all that rare among backslidden Muslims.

To defeat Islamism one must first defeat Liberal-Leftism.

Maybe so, but it’s still too hard to untanble what his motives might have been.

Unfortunately this pattern will continue for quite some time until we all wake up and decide to seriously react. This is the pattern:

1) Islamic male kills 1 or 300 innocent non-Muslims.

2) Westerners light many candles, say prayer vigils, cry and say they will not be deterred.

3) Western “experts” explain away the attack by categorizing the perpetrator(s) as either a) being “Radicalized” or b) suffering from some form of shyness and chemical unbalance in the brain.

or having too easy an access to a weapon. 4) Islamic murderers plan next atrocity and carry it out.

5) Steps 2, 3 and 4 are repeated, again and again.

If we want to continue to be slaughtered just keep voting in our precious Democracies for the same types currently running the West, the “Grand Capitulates” and “Appeasers”.

This will ensure that we continue to light candles and mourn our brothers and sisters.

We revel in the victim hood and the Islamicists revel in giving us our due again and again...at some point we will get tired of being murdered and start fighting back.

Until that time, keep your lighters, matches and candles in reserve.
