Isn’t diversity great? The LGBT community hates us. Meanwhile, the Muzzies want us and them dead. Islam is the enemy of all
OMG this is horrific. The criminal was an anchor muslim? Was this a gay bar? Was this gun free or something? Florida give you the right to carry? I need to put on the news!
“...Unless and until RADICAL ISLAM is blamed ...”
It isn’t radical Islam. It’s just Islam. I knew a man who would be the poster child of moderate Islam. He talked about making me his slave and making me pay taxes, when “they” took over. (He was angry and frustrated as the job was way beyond his understanding.)
Yep the man was prescient. Yet he was chastised by the Ryans and Romneys of the day.
Man up!
“magazine pouch vest”
Sounds reasonable. 30 round mag, 50+ killed and as many wounded.
Just wait. The `rats will try to spin this into `Why we need gun control’.
We need muslim control.
This hits very close to home. I live in the area where he is from.
Precisely!
Yeah, another thing I tire of.
Stop qualifying “Islam” with extra adjectives. As if plain Islam is so great.
islam kills. Are you next?
It was just a homemade clock, in a briefcase. ;^} /S
Says right there New York born. So native or not doesn’t matter when it comes to jihad and islam. Even the native citizens have got to go.
It’s alarming to me that CAIR is involved in presser from the start. Same with San Bernardino. Even if it’s 3am on Sunday am.
It shows a great level of preplanning with the government. You don’t stand next to the head of FBI investigations unless the order comes right from the top
Obama was advised to not release Moslem terrorists from Guantanamo because it would show weakness and invite more Moslem terrorists attacks.
But no, Obama thinks he is smarter than the rest of the worl combined, so the dipshirt let Moslem terrorists go from Guantanamo and the terrorists saw that as weakness and now we have another massacre by a Moslem.
Obama owns this massacre.
Maybe. Yes. Yes. Yes, I think.
YES GUN FREE, YES MUSLIM, YES GAY BAR!!!!
That's what I've been wondering. Anchor baby? Immigrant?
He was NOT born here!!!!
Wow! With all the jihadists identified here in Minneapolis, it’s a good thing we don’t have any gay bars here, eh?
/sarc
Exactly. It’s Islam, period. The “radical” adjective is unecessary and provides cover for the truth. The whole cult is awash in hate and death.
