Fox News is still dissecting Obama's use of "random" in a sentence rather than covering this newsworthy criminal act.

No, he didn't, but you are free to justify anything you want. I do not feel compelled to justify murders of any kind.

Why would you associate yourself with criminals?

Is that truly what you hope? Because there's really no sense starting a thread about a situation that you hope is isolated and means nothing.


I suspect that you being the partisan liberal that you are, and highlighting violence against Muslims being one of the new wedge issues of the left with Obama's ridiculous speech about the crusades and all, that manufacturing a trend of violence against Muslims you can bash conservatives over is precisely what you hope happens. I'm sure you truly do hope that innocent people aren't hurt or killed, but if you can create a public narrative about it then that would absolutely serve liberal goals of portraying conservatives as violent bigots and liberals as the tolerant and enlightened beings who refuse to indict an entire religion over the actions of a few (speaking of Islam, of course - when it comes to Christianity then the religious tolerance of the left evaporates)

His post that he thinks atheism would fix the problem in the Mideast, but the people he killed are Americans. Wonder if there's more to it. Did he know them?

The mainstream media is a lost cause. They will bicker over which word was used, or not used, and jump into far fetched conclusions, and unfortunately people are dumb enough to dance to their music. You can see it right here in CD where people come to repeat everything they hear. Whatever they hear I the media, is worth repeating.

I suspect that you being the partisan liberal that you are, you have no interest in discussing the topic, you only want to misrepresent other posters.

I have not heard anyone make any arguments about violence against muslims, so I have no clue what you are talking about. Are you referring to the Jurdanian pilot? He was a muslim killed by other muslims.

Clearly this story hits a nerve with you, but it is not designed to. The thread is 100% neutral. The OP says nothing about any political party, or religious group other than the victims were muslims. There is no suggestion about the shooters religion, or political leanings.

From what I have been reading, the alleged murderer was a self described atheist. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...-10038126.html

The alleged shooter's motives don't appear to show he murdered the three victims for being Muslims. That assumption is a leap at this point in the investigation.
