Nine people were hurt in a knife rampage at a Minnesota mall during which the attacker made references to Allah, authorities said.

The suspect was shot dead by an off-duty police officer at the Crossroads Mall in St. Cloud, which began around 8 p.m. (9 p.m. ET) on Saturday.

The suspect was wearing a private security uniform, officials said.

"We have confirmed that he asked at least one person if they were Muslim before he assaulted them," St. Cloud Police Chief Blair Anderson told reporters, adding that the suspect "made some references to Allah."

The media template:

1) Deny it was a Muslim attack. Attack those who predict it was.
2) When it is confirmed it is a Muslim attack, state that they do not represent Islam.
3) When it is confirmed that the person was a devout Islamic, roll out the “BACKLASH FEARED” headlie.

It is so predictable, they don’t even need to do it any more. Just print the word “Media Template”. We’ll know what you meant.

Csuse and effect, Mohamoud. IF these are a few radicals among you ‘peaceful’ ragheads, it should be EASY for YOU to find and stop them. You can identify them first, right? So why aren’t you? Backlash- you don’t want reaction to Allah Ackbar screaming murderers? We should LOVE them? Pi** on you and all Muslims. I’d have vigilante squads going door to door rounding you sub humans up by now. C130 right back to Muslim hellholes that spawned you.

The terrorist lived in this country for 15 years and never integrated into US society. He was easily lured into terrorism by his religion. The Somalis that flooded Minesota for the most part want nothing to do with being Americans and it is common to see women in burkas on the streets in Minnesota. According to the the FBI Minnesota mosques are hotbeds of terrorist recruiting. These “refugees” we rescued by bringing them to the US and lavished with welfare benefits are neither grateful or happy to be here. They want instead to turn this country into a clone of the Islamist dung heap they left and have no problem with using violence against their benefactors. Americans have a right to be pissed

Weren't religious charitable organizations the first ones responsible for bringing them in? I can see the motive if the long term intention is to convert them to “Christianity”. Does the religious leadership who these charities report to ever ask “How many conversions?” (Personally I think that for the most part it is at best naïve and foolish action.) However I doubt if that “conversion rate” question ever gets asked. The motive for these organizations is likely the federal dollars not selfless charity, a wealth of “refugee care & welfare” money probably flow into their coffers. I am sure the members of these organizations get the added benefit of feeling morally superior to the common taxpayer herd , particular superior to conservatives and infinitely superior to people like me who ask “What's the return on investment from these actions?”

I think laws need to be passed that makes these organizations both financially and even criminally liable for the actions of their “”charity cases”. They brought them here and have for all intents and purposes assumed “loco parentis” on these “Martians”. And they are “Martian” for they have no more in common with American & Western Civilization then a herd of space aliens! Religious charities you want them here so you can wallow in your moral superiority then take responsibility for them, for both their behavior & their acculturation.

he said. "They are minorities in our faith.

Bullshit. They're just the ones with the commitment (or fanaticism) to live up to the demands of your faith.

Islam is peace."

Bullshit. Islam is a war plan for world conquest. Islam is a comprehensive totalitarian ideology masquerading as a religion. Islam is the demon-inspired ravings of a murderer and rapist named mohammed.

Your post #85.

Weren't religious charitable organizations the first ones responsible for bringing them in?

I hope I am not remiss in mentioning the source for some quick research by me. I used a Breitbart article by Michael Patrick Leahy 2015. I will be as accurate as I can. Named are the Lutheran Church and Catholic Charity group. It seems- this is my own interpretation, that massive sums are then contributed by the government (taxpayer). The church groups siphon off as much as 25% for their administration.

Now totally removed from this elsewhere is this. That a pastor of the Lutheran Church was found to have a sudden massive increase in his personal salary. If this is true, then at least it should be out there in public. No concern at all for the average member of the public, who then sees resources strained to the limit. Called racist if they even complain.

Aside from a very few and very isolated incidents, there has been little backlash against Muslims, and most of that internet venting, not physical attacks.

The American people generally don’t mob up and attack people anymore. Unless you are a conservative trying to voice your opinion on a college campus.

Exactly. The liberal media will once more get all breathless over the hypothetical risk of a backlash, even though it has essentially never happened. The rare reports of “backlash” are newsworthy precisely because they are so rare - and almost always hoaxes because real Americans don’t act like that.

Yes I have heard that bout those also.
I didn’t want to name denominations least I be accused of being anti-Catholic, or anti-”whatever”.

Whenever there is “questionable/odd” behavior by a religious group you just about count on somewhere there is a pot of taxpayer money enabling that!

And NO I AM NOT ANTI-”ANY CHRISTAIN RELIGION”, I am just anti-”having the taxpayers” taken for a ride by anybody!
