A man reportedly crying "God is great"

I guess the media is saving paper by omitting adjectives, like Muslim man or fanatic Muslim man. Afterall, (sarcasm) wouldn't want to violate the pc code and profile a man 'allegedly' committing a crime. I'm surprised they called them anti-Semitic attacks at all, because that just might 'unfairly' (more sarcasm) profile the many young, unemployed, unhappy Muslim youths in the Paris suburbs.

The irony is that most people will not even notice the careful AP omission. The fact that this was a muslim nutcase attacking a Jew is so evident it doesn't even need to be said.

Think he really said "God is great"? Or did he say "Allah is great"? It makes a big difference, and I strongly suspect AP translated it to fit their political preference.

It's getting to be a very anticipated hidden tidbit of wanton knowledge one expects via the mainstream press these days isn't it.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Can't identify the perp as a Muslim--better to talk around the issue. Odds are that they'll never even arrest who did it. The "We must not inflame the Muslims" mantra will one day be etched on France's (and maybe Europe's) gravestone.
