I agree.

Okay, let's change the subject. Why would he have fake weapons & explosives when he planned on killing so many people? What would be the purpose? Was he originally planning to commit suicide by cop and then selfishly decided to take out innocent people with him to get more publicity and credit? In the Muslim religion suicide is a sin, but if you die while committing an act of jihad in the name of God, it is not. This is similar to the way many Christians felt when committing murder throughout history. Some people justify cruel, horrific acts of violence that are not condoned by any peaceful religion.

Martyrdom has the highest rewards in Islam, it is called the death cult for a reason.

#6 in the list, those big-breasted 72 virgins

I agree with much of your post. In some way we are all hypocrites and sinners. However, AFAIK Drake hasn't murdered anyone.

He was a radical Muslim who committed Jihad on innocents PERIOD.
Somebody else knew of his plans and/or his propensity for violence against others and yet NOT A WORD of warning.

All us white folks have to do is face the fact that diversity and multiculturism does not work and take back control of our society in the harshest possible way.

Predictably, major American media are blaming the French for the attacks by Muslims against them.
Quote:
The ideal of diversity espoused in the United States has not been embraced in France, where being seen as French means giving up the culture where you came from.
Kepel, the political scientist, has written that the French government sees Islam as an impediment to Muslims becoming fully integrated citizens.It has discouraged — and in some cases banned — certain forms of religious expression in an attempt to promote assimilation and unity.
In 2004, the French Assembly passed a law prohibiting the wearing of conspicuous religious symbols in public schools. The controversy dates back to at least 1989, when a high school principal barred three girls from wearing the hijab on school grounds because it violated France's tradition of secular education.
But critics say those policies have had the opposite effect, deepening a feeling among some Muslims that the government is anti-Islam and they will never be fully accepted.
So... only by fully accepting a hostile, growing, and permanently foreign culture within its borders can the French hope to be safe from radical members of that culture who want to kill them. Thank you, Los Angeles Times.

The French have done a good job making sure that Muslims don't assimilate, quite different than the US.

Huh? They are accused of putting too much emphasis on assimilation.

The US is changing. I went to college in the late 1990s and early 2000s. I had several professors who said that assimilation was a sign of oppression of a dominant culture over immigrant minorities.
