Politicians, including Obama, who assign motives other than jihadist terrorism when the perp is Muslim do so b/c a big portion of their constituents are Muslim. They don't want the Farrakhan types here in the USA to get upset with them. End of story.

Does it give you some kind of warm feeling inside to make things up about what liberals supposedly think and then attack them?

Obama won the majority of the vote, and the US is ~75% Christian and .8% Muslim, so lets keep the lying to a minimum.

Who or what are ignoring Extream Muslim groups? Who is not saying that Al Qaeda and the Taliban are some bad actors? There is a difference in Extrimists and everyday...run of the mill...Muslims.

In the same way I dont blame all white folk for the mass shooting of late, why would I blame any group for the actions of some of that group.

Sounds to me like you are accustomed to blaming the group...

Lying? Are you saying that the majority of muslims in this country DID NOT vote for Obama? You have heard of Farrakhan, right? You do understand that the majority of muslims in this country voted for Obama?

Way to go with suggesting that the muslim vote didn't count, lol.

And your citation is faulty. 100% of the population doesn't vote.

There are people out there who want anarchy, whether they be Muslim or Christian. They may have lived here their whole lives or they may be immigrants. It doesn't really matter much, we have to get better at our job of protecting our people.

We also have to pick our wars more carefully as well. We now have enough oil to fill our own needs given conservation, green energy programs and continued efficiency. It's time for America get leave the middle east and adopt a policy of no interference unless invited.

Agree. They don't want us there and the majority of Americans don't want us there, either.

Because they are extremists, why blame an entire religion for a select few people? No one should be punished for their religious beliefs.

First, who says what you assert is even true? I distinctly remember Oklahoma City and the big question was also, why?

Second, when 'the white guy who shot up a school,' he was immediately caught and his mental history was quickly available. We didn't have to ponder his motive, he was nuts.

Thus, I conclude that you proceed from a false premise. The 'left' doesn't circle the wagons around motive only when the perpetrators are Muslims.

There is where you are wrong. If some white supremacist blows up a black bunch of kids all white supremacists are bad. Can you not be white supremacist and not want to use violence? Are all white supremacists evil? What about white separatists who just want to be left alone. They don't want to live next to other races but do not want to use violence either. If one blows up some Muslims are all evil? The left would and does think so.
