"Washington Post Warns Of “Islamophobic” “backlash” After Somali-Muslim Cop Guns Down Yoga Instructor Who Called 911 For Help"

It’s a win/win for the Muslim world every time there is jihad carnage. Jihad terror results in more sharia enforcement.

After every heinous Muslim attack (including Septemenr 11th), the knee-jerk response by media and cultural elites is a nonexistent “fear of reprisal” and cries of “islamophobic” tweets that offend Muslim hair-trigger sensibilities. Never does the Muslim world self-reflect. Never do Muslim leaders say, we have a problem, this is evil and we have to be good. We must expunge Islamic texts that exhort to holy war and hate.

No, always, it’s the same thing. Blame the victims.

“Already, hateful posts criticizing Islam and sharia law are filling social media in response to the police shooting.”

Tell it to the dead in the cause of Islam.

"After Minneapolis Officer In Police Shooting Is Named, Somali Community Braces For Backlash"

By Katie Mettler, Washington Post

When Mohamed Noor joined the Minneapolis police force and was assigned to patrol the city’s southwest corner, the Somali community there — the nation’s largest — threw a party for him to celebrate.

He was the first Somali American officer to serve in Minneapolis’s fifth precinct and one of fewer than a dozen Somali American officers in the department. His presence on the squad brought Somali activists some pride and reassurance at a time of Islamophobia in America and nationwide racial tension stoked in part by shootings of black people by white police officers.

Now that same Somali community is bracing for a backlash against Noor that has already begun.

On Monday, multiple media outlets named Noor as the officer who fatally shot an unarmed Australian woman in the city’s popular Fulton neighborhood over the weekend, an incident that has grabbed global attention and thrust Minneapolis into yet another uproar over police violence.

Officials have not publicly confirmed the officer’s name.

Tom Plunkett, an attorney who said he to represent Noor, said in a statement that the officer “extends his condolences” to those mourning 40-year-old Justine Damond’s death and “takes their loss seriously.”

“We would like to say more, and will in the future,” Plunkett said. “At this time, however, there are several investigations ongoing and Officer Noor wants to respect the privacy to the family and asks the same in return during this difficult period.”

Although Plunkett did not respond to requests to explicitly confirm that Noor fired the shot that killed Damond, several Somali leaders in Minneapolis said in interviews with The Washington Post that they were aware of the officer’s involvement.

“There is no question that he is the officer,” Somali activist Omar Jamal told The Post. “We knew this right after the shooting, but we didn’t want to release the name.”

The Minneapolis Police Federation declined to comment and referred questions to Noor’s attorney. A spokesman for the Minneapolis Police Department directed inquiries to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, the agency investigating the shooting, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday morning.

“WTF are they doing here?”

Turning parts of Minnesota into bigger $hit holes than they were before their arrival., with a lot of help from the RATs.

Whenever I hear the “fears of backlash” I know this is the Left actively working to intimidate by putting people on notice that the Left may brand and ruin you as a racist if dare incite anything they suspect as a backlash that would thwart their immigration policy efforts.

When it comes I hope the Backlashers remember where the WAPO offices are

Minnesota did not invite them in. The federal government chose when and where to establish groups of refugees. Once a colony is established, it is natural for others to follow as they wish to be with people who share their values, culture, faith, language, etc.

As a Minnesotan, I can assure you that it is impossible to find out how many more refugees are being planned for our state. When we ask this question, the news media puts it on the front page of their papers with the word ‘RACISTS’ in capital letters.

It is clear why the rural towns in Minnesota voted for President Donald J Trump by margins of 80%. Those folks are not so easily intimidated by university intellectuals as they live in the real world without silly liberals as neighbors.

You may have overlooked the US Rep from Minnesota’s 5th District.

Family of US cop Mohamed Noor say officer mistakenly shot Justine Damond

Okaaaay....

If so, then exactly who was he trying to shoot when he pulled and fired his weapon right at Justine and "mistakenly" shot and killed her?

Or did he mean to pull out his Koran and show it to her but latched on to the loaded pistol in error?

One more thing about Minnesota’s Muslims and the social issues surrounding their presence here.

Last September a young Muslim man entered the St. Cloud Crossroads mall on a Saturday evening and proceeded to begin stabbing people. He injured 9 or 10 people, several being admitted to the local hospital for a few days.

St. Cloud is an hour NW of the Twin Cities and is a medium size town with a state university. Stearns County also has two Catholic institutions of higher learning - St. John’s and St. Benedict’s. There is also an area Vocational-Technical College in the city. With all that overload of university professors and administrators, St. Cloud barely voted a majority for Hillary Clinton. The rest of the county went about 75-85% for Donald Trump making Stearns County’s presidential vote for Trump in the 61% range overall.

When jihad reaches central Minnesota, rural folks take notice. This new incident of a Somali police officer in Mpls shooting an unarmed woman to death cannot be masked by any liberal shenanigans of the Twin Cities and national news medias.

I listen to liberals talking about how in 2018 they are going to take back the US House and Senate. I do not think in Minnesota they are going to able to reverse the trend of 2016. People are fed up. Republicans are going to ‘Make Minnesota Red’ in 2018.

Yes that so called “noise” has already evolved into “fireworks”

It’s not a phobia when the fear is rational.

It's defined as either fear or dislike (hate). I am a true islamophobe then, hate them, what they stand for and their murderous cult. Wear the badge as proudly as my homophobe badge.

IMO if we are labelling absolutely everything these days then all homos are heterophobes and muzzies are infidelphobes.

Now the other policeman Matthew Harrity has a lawyer and that its reasonable for the police to think a call could be an ambush...
