"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.

Why should the WaPo fear Islamaphobia, given that this has been going on for years and irrational fears have yet to be found? Well, the truth is that the WaPo DOESN’T fear Islamaphobia, they want to fan it wherever possible so that they can keep up their chant that anyone that is not a certified Leftist wacko must be racist.

The WashPoo is nervous about losing control of the narrative.

Recall how we always hear from liberals and their PR people how it is important to "get out in front of the story"?

And "shape the narrative"?

They don't want to report the news - they want to bend it, interpret it, color it and often just cover it up.

Not sure about IQ, I read a while back that over 50% of Muslims have some type of developmental issue.

You are correct they have been inbreeding for centuries.

One day there’s going to be a backlash, but it’s going to be directed at the reporters who’ve been lying to the US public.

Now that I think about it, the family might be pressured if money doesn’t work right away. There are a lot of people/institutions/agendas that are at risk if this case is investigated thoroughly. I hope the family is up to that.

It sounds like it was not a “mental health complaint” per se, but the cops had a lady committed who was a bother to them, and not in any way crazy.

That’s a felony.

Average IQ of Somalis = 68, after a thousand years of first cousin inbreeding.

They are a feral society. You might as well try to harness a wild-caught wolf into a dogsled team as give a gun and badge to a Somali.

After murdering Jessica Damond in cold blood Mohammed Noor is still walking around free and on full pay from the Minneapolis Police Department.

It isn't so much that he's a skinny or a mooslimb. It's that he's a cop and they can do anything or kill anyone and expect no serious consequences. H should be up for murder 2, but I'm guessing that will NEVER happen. If you want to get away with murder become a cop.

Every person to be tried individually, but it was a Somali who dreamed of blowing up the Portland Christmas Tree Lighting in 2010. They put him away for 30 years, but not before the Left did their utmost to prove entrapment by the FBI.

I agree. Progressives don,the like the Judea Christian heritage of this Nation. What better way to destroy it if not weaken it than more third world immigrants of other religions.

Oh, yeah, the blond western female drives mohammedans nuts, it’s visceral, they see one and they hate her. We were in People to People with the international officers as our sponsored guests. No one wanted the Saudi officer and his family of 6 boys and one girl. Being open-minded and forgiving, we agreed to sponsor them.

At the dress uniform dinner downtown, not only did the Saudi not bring his wife, he was sweating bullets at the thought of having to sit boy girl boy girl style (like civilized people do at these things) next to me, an American blond female. I finally said to my husband, you sit by him, I’ll go sit with the Iraqis, (Kurdish) who were lovely and relaxed.

This Somali cop was probably outraged by the sight of a blond female and gunned her down because the other thing about these creeps is they are emotional wrecks with ugly tempers.

I just do not understand the Left's obsession with protecting islam! Do they look at it as it really is: a government and not a religion? Do they not realize all their little pet peeves (homosexuals, women's rights, etc.) are out the window once the mooselimbs take over?

Liberalism is a mental disease.

Be nice if the Leftist media had one tenth of the concern for actual terrorism that it has for Islamophobic backlash. Their relentless anti-America screed is wearing pretty thin.
