It adds another dimension to the story. Does it bother you that race and color is included? Should everything be so PC that you can't mention the criminals background? This little fact, as I said, adds another dimension to the story, and raises a question. Was this black Afro-American a ex-con muslim convert? I'd also like to know if the criminal was an Arab American, Indonesian American, or Whitey. The reason? It seems muslim converts in America pursue the more violent part of the Islamic cult, while immigrants to America already have that trait in some ethnic backgrounds, and may be called American because thats what the passport they are carrying says. Some black muslims from the Africa continent are quite different types of muslim, and aren't usually violent, like the ones being slaughtered by the arabs in Sudan. All this information and the question itself dissapears if you try to be PC and hide the persons particulars. American born Afro Americans who convert are being duped, because these Wahabbi Arab muslims, generally the most violent and extremist of all, look down on black muslims as litle more than slaves.usefull tools when needed, slaves most other times. Black slavery among the Arab Muslims is still a thriving business even today.
Why did you say Whitey? And personally the race being mentioned is a bunch of croak and the original poster knew it. They did it for just what is going on now.
Great summary!
