Brian Williams On Munich Attack: Rooting For It Not To Be ISIS

BY: Chandler Gill July 22, 2016 6:47 pm

Hours after the attack in Munich, Germany, MSNBC’s Brian Williams said it was a strange feeling to root for this attack to not be related to the Islamic State.

“And why does it feel so strange to kind of root for it not being ISIS?” he asked.

Williams then said that he was hoping this attack would break the cycle of IS attacks. This comes after the recent attacks in Istanbul, Turkey, and Nice, France in which multiple innocent people were tragically killed at soft target locations.

IS claimed responsibilities for these.

“To kind of– you know, to break the cycle even though every death is an absolute tragedy and this just means we have deranged people without the affiliation, you know?” Williams said.

Journalist Richard Engel had pointed out that there has been no proof that confirmed that this was IS.

“We don’t know that this was ISIS and it’s possible that it wasn’t,” he said. “The assumption, and it’s a logical assumption based on all the attacks that we’ve seen recently, that it is ISIS, but there are certain things that are very unusual about this.”

Engel cited that there was a small number of casualties, as well as the use of very small weapons and that these do not match typical IS-inspired strikes.

He added that with the small number of deaths, that this could be indicative of the attacker fleeing, which is also not common in ISI attacks.

Have the freaking journalists forgotten that there are, and were before the rise of IS, jihadists of both Sunni and Shia persuasion?

Not being IS does NOT mean it’s radical jihadists!

Hezbollah is alive and well and killing.
AQ, Al Nusra, Al Houthi, Boko Haram,and on and on and on, are all active and engaged in terror.

Further, the narrative that an Iranian can’t be a terrorist is ludicrous. They are the largest state sponsor of terror in the world. 99.4 pct of Iranians claim Islam. Islamists of all sects have and do commit international terror.

The same “compassionate” liberals who feign shock at so-called right wing “hate” can’t help but utter the most ridiculously insensitive nonsense. Their hatred for their fellow Americans outweighs any sense sympathy for murder victims.
Rooting for this not being Isis? Really? Who DOES that?

I call BS! The reason the lefty doesn’t want it to be ISIS is because it makes the statements made by Obama about an hour before look ridiculously out of touch with reality.

No sooner than the narcissist in chief said that, contrary to Trump’s ‘dark vision’, all was okay in this best of all possible worlds under his administration.

Well it kind of looks like it wasn’t exactly ISIS, but still it fell in the category of Allah Akhbar-barianism.

So he gets half a root, I guess. Donald warned about this kind of thing in general; not just ISIS although ISIS is probably the largest single body of it on earth at this time.

It was a Muslim. To me, none of them can be trusted.

Once again proves my theory which is, liberals are sociopaths, and I am not kidding. They spout these warm and fuzzy ideas to pretend they feel some emotion, maybe even do it as a self test to see if they feel anything. They don’t, so they move onto another cause, always searching.

Oh, darkies how my heart grows weary...

Donald WAS warning about something dark. That we would have to deal with by bringing in the appropriate light.

Well these “liberals” are wrong to think they can gin up any goodness by themselves.

But others are wrong to think they can banish any badness by themselves.

There are over 2000 different terrorist groups in the world, some active, some on hold. What difference does it make which one did it? Obama has only got so much money to give away so if they aren’t on the list, I guess they better get busy.

Brian Williams has to have a permit for a garbage dump every time he opens his lying mouth.

They’re all Muslim, and they’re all united in the one goal of destroying the Western “infidel” and imposing their one-world caliphate.

It has been their goal for many centuries now.

Brian Williams cannot be that stupid, that he thinks ISIS is some recent aberration and that Islam is otherwise rainbows and unicorns. Wake up, Brian, and smell the jihad and destruction that has accompanied this ‘religion’ since its inception. Do some homework!

Williams seems to assume it would be “better” if attack is not associated with ISIS because then we ... what?..... wouldn’t blame Obama and Hillary more for ISIS?? ... wouldn’t have to talk about radical Islamic terrorism if it turned out not to be jihad related at all???

Brian Williams longs for a “narrative” about this attack which will not be embarrassing to all the politically correct a-holes like him in media and politics. Best of all would be if it turned out to be some kind of “right winger” so that the MSM could tell just the kind of narrative they like.

Too bad, MSM, the guy’s background is IRANIAN. Which is virtually 100% Muslim (90% Shi’a, 10% Sunni). SO it looks like the “narrative” here is going to involve Islam to one degree or another, although the MSM will do their best to make the guy sound like a lone psycho who just woke up one day and decided to kill for no reason at all.

I’m not sure on this one. I don’t think even they think they have a realistic possibility of taking over the world by using a religion that kills those that don’t respond or those that can’t make it happen so they kill others while killing themselves.

Odds are they will run out of muslim suicidals before they kill everyone else. They are currently being out produced by China alone. I think they can birth them faster than the muslims can kill them. It’s just numbers.

So it’s not a matter of if, it becomes a matter of why? And they aren’t smart enough to do the math.

There’s so much more for all of us to know. In my opinion though, I don’t believe incompetence is the problem....I think it’s much worse than that.

True. Their actions stem more from hatred and contempt of the country and its people then from simple incompetence. They are evil.
