Georgia State prof: ‘ISIS not coming after us,’ France attack ‘increases right-wing politics’
The College Fix ^ | 7/15/2016 | College Fix Staff

On CNN last evening, Georgia State professor Mia Bloom claimed that the terror group ISIS was not “coming after us,” and expressed concern that attacks like that in Nice, France yesterday increase the “degree of right-wing politics” and Islamophobia.

Bloom took issue with former CIA analyst Bruce Sexton whom she believed wasn’t aware that the majority of ISIS’s victims are Muslims.

“I do disagree with Mr. Sexton, because the fact is, and I’ll say this to you, Buck, directly, the vast majority of ISIS’ victims are Muslim. Not us. Not the West,” she said in a somewhat mocking tone.

As the Washington Free Beacon reports:

“I’m fully aware of that,” Sexton said. “No one disputes that.”

An animated Bloom took exception to Sexton earlier saying “they’re coming after us,” saying, “They’re not coming after us more than they’re coming after each other.”

“I was referring to the Islamic State, which very clearly through its external operations arm … along with al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula which until recently was considered the most virulent and deadly of the jihadist terrorist organizations for this kind of external plotting, they’re continuing to do this,” he said. “Of course they’re killing Muslims.”

She has an impressive resume, at least with respect to her degrees. But what the hell does a professor of Communication teach/do?

What an asinine statement. WE DON’T CARE if they kill each other! In fact we love it when they kill each other. It’s when they kill US that we care. 1000 of them to 1 of us, we only care about the one of us. GET IT MORON.

Exactly!

Look she is a very smart woman, student and professor. Just like Alan Dershowitz who is a brilliant mind and I love to hear him speak and discuss ideas.
Mia should really look at the muslim problem again and take what Newt said, “Anyone who believes in sharia law should be deported.” and inspect it. If she can’t see or admit to the problem and offer solutions beside we have to love them, then her brilliance becomes faded.

Amen to that, brother! Remember the days when moslem meant exotic people from far away lands and Alladin’s Lamp, 1001 Arabian Nights, Open Sesame and other innocent stuff? I am SO sick of nonstop sand creature “news.”

Have the military pick up ms. bloom, and drop her off in mosul, iraq.

I don't know if a C-5 Galaxy could pick her up.

She was probably one of those idiots who spent the early hours after the 9/11 attacks trying to tell us that Muslims couldn’t be involved because Islam condemns suicide.... except that we have seen soooo many instances that soon banished that particular piece of propaganda.

"Shoot, we’ll even fund-raise for a dozen pallets of food to be shipped as well."

I'm absolutely positive this Bloom thing will prefer pallets ...of ham.

I guess on my list of concerns from Nice, the top one would be the victim’s families and the decline of civil order in the West. These other concerns seem somewhat secondary.

Mia would rather die than admit her ideology has driven the US and Europe into a ditch.
