Nothing against you personally, but I notice whenever a bigot or avowed white supremacist commits an act of terrorism, any associations are downplayed, and the perp is largely dismissed as mentally unstable. But as soon as someone who calls themselves a Muslim carries out the same act of violence, it's an indictment of Muslims and immigrants as a whole.
Official Palestinian Authority media have glorified perpetrators of these terrorist attacks. Bashar Masalha, a Palestinian who stabbed U.S. Army veteran Taylor Force to death and wounded several others in March, was hailed on official media outlets as a "martyr" at the time of his funeral.
"We welcome every drop of blood spilled in Jerusalem. This is pure blood, clean blood, blood on its way to Allah," Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas stated last September on Palestinian television. "With the help of Allah, every martyr will be in heaven, and every wounded will get his reward."
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A young woman was stabbed multiple times and suffered traumatic injuries” in an attack by a stranger at the Lloyd Center MAX platform Friday afternoon.
Officials said the early investigation shows the victim was with 2 other young women at the MAX platform when the man walked up. They exchanged a few words and the suspect attacked the young woman, police said.
Jesus Gonzales told KOIN 6 News he was on the MAX approaching the station when and when the doors opened, she ran in screaming for help.
Gonzales said the commuters were stunned and didn’t know what to do. When no one rushed to help her, the woman ran off the train and the crowd at Holladay Park helped her.
These Muslim women had three men attempt to protect them from the man shouting. Two of them were killed. THAT is the story. Their heroism. The article says the Muslim women have not been found. According to the article, the Muslim women these men died to protect left the scene, leaving these men dying. http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/i...ne_portla.html
Simpson said police want to talk to the young women and other witnesses to the rampage. They understandably left the scene, but can help fill in what happened, he said.

You are just as bad as the person I responded to, never letting a crisis go to waste to push your politics.
You people really have no shame.
You Fascist on though comrade!
Guess you didn't take that advice on brushing up on reading comprehension.
Also - another term you probably aren't familiar with: irony.
I'm not pushing anything, I explained why ignoring hate speech can be problematic. You, by the fact that you tucked your tail and backed out of the other thread, tells me you have nothing to retort, hence, the 'fascist' comment.
If the attacker was a Muslim the ink that would be spilled agonizing about the origins of his radicalism and what society can do, the ink would fill swimming pools.
But this will be a "disturbed man commits a crime, jail him for life" -- at best.
This is why it's OK to beat the crap out of racists. They aren't just harmless words. It's an effort to ignite attitudes that want the world to be rid of Muslims or any other brown person.
He should have been beaten and thrown off the train, while the whole community rightfully claims self defense.
If it trickles out, it should immediately be stomped out like a match near dry brush. These aren't just opinions to disagree with your family members on, folks
Are you more sympathetic to Muslims who hate? It sounds like it.
How so?
