"Washington Post Warns Of “Islamophobic” “backlash” After Somali-Muslim Cop Guns Down Yoga Instructor Who Called 911 For Help"

It’s a win/win for the Muslim world every time there is jihad carnage. Jihad terror results in more sharia enforcement.

After every heinous Muslim attack (including Septemenr 11th), the knee-jerk response by media and cultural elites is a nonexistent “fear of reprisal” and cries of “islamophobic” tweets that offend Muslim hair-trigger sensibilities. Never does the Muslim world self-reflect. Never do Muslim leaders say, we have a problem, this is evil and we have to be good. We must expunge Islamic texts that exhort to holy war and hate.

No, always, it’s the same thing. Blame the victims.

“Already, hateful posts criticizing Islam and sharia law are filling social media in response to the police shooting.”

Tell it to the dead in the cause of Islam.

"After Minneapolis Officer In Police Shooting Is Named, Somali Community Braces For Backlash"

By Katie Mettler, Washington Post

When Mohamed Noor joined the Minneapolis police force and was assigned to patrol the city’s southwest corner, the Somali community there — the nation’s largest — threw a party for him to celebrate.

He was the first Somali American officer to serve in Minneapolis’s fifth precinct and one of fewer than a dozen Somali American officers in the department. His presence on the squad brought Somali activists some pride and reassurance at a time of Islamophobia in America and nationwide racial tension stoked in part by shootings of black people by white police officers.

Now that same Somali community is bracing for a backlash against Noor that has already begun.

On Monday, multiple media outlets named Noor as the officer who fatally shot an unarmed Australian woman in the city’s popular Fulton neighborhood over the weekend, an incident that has grabbed global attention and thrust Minneapolis into yet another uproar over police violence.

Officials have not publicly confirmed the officer’s name.

Tom Plunkett, an attorney who said he to represent Noor, said in a statement that the officer “extends his condolences” to those mourning 40-year-old Justine Damond’s death and “takes their loss seriously.”

“We would like to say more, and will in the future,” Plunkett said. “At this time, however, there are several investigations ongoing and Officer Noor wants to respect the privacy to the family and asks the same in return during this difficult period.”

Although Plunkett did not respond to requests to explicitly confirm that Noor fired the shot that killed Damond, several Somali leaders in Minneapolis said in interviews with The Washington Post that they were aware of the officer’s involvement.

“There is no question that he is the officer,” Somali activist Omar Jamal told The Post. “We knew this right after the shooting, but we didn’t want to release the name.”

The Minneapolis Police Federation declined to comment and referred questions to Noor’s attorney. A spokesman for the Minneapolis Police Department directed inquiries to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, the agency investigating the shooting, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday morning.

Fear of Muslims is not irrational, therefore there is no such thing as “Islamophobia”.

The only “backlash” has been from the press as the Somali cops are complaining publicly that the press is camped outside their doors, trying to interview family members, etc. and generally harassing them.

The press are the racists, tying the cop being a Muslim to all the other Muslim cops on the force, painting them with a broad brush.

Heard on FOX this morning that one of the 3 complaints was a woman who was treated rough by him on a mental health complaint.

“It is called political correctness and diversification.”.........

You left off “Affirmative Action” hiring. How many veteran’s applied for the police job and got bypassed so the Mpls police and claim their department is intergraded? Happens more than you think.

There is a simple truth. You cannot put Muslims in authority types of positions. Muslim law is not compatible with Constitutional law.

Being a Muslim and sharia law is what they believe in. That comes first. They do not assimilate because Islam does not assimilate, they attempt conquer.

Don’t Somalis have on average a 65 IQ?
Also, haven’t they been inbreeding for centuries?
WTF are they doing here?

The 'progressives' have slowly begun to accept the futility of trying to bring about universal equality by dragging the bottom up.

They have little to show for the $20 Trillion spent on "the War On Poverty", Affirmative Action, minority preferences and free college.

Their new tactic to achieve equality for us (but not themselves) is to drag the rest of us down.

Seeding Somalis and other muslims in communities around the nation is part of that process.

The importation of savage 3rd world dullards is a pivotal part of the elite agenda to destroy Western civilization.

There, I said it.

Zero has his share of the blame. So does Bush. And various officials in Minneapolis.

The primary blame lies squarely on the shoulders of the mohammedan pig-turd that murdered an unarmed American.

Yeah........and?

First off, it's not a fear (phobia). It would be steeled determination to eliminate a sick cult.

Secondly. It would be about time.

You can bet the city and/or its insurers will throw money at the family in an attempt to get this to go away. I hope the family wants answers more than money.
