No, it would not be odd if the rednecks were there to pay their respects to the victims.

A number of you seem to be missing the fact that the lead terrorist was in fact turned in by two neighbors one of whom at least appears to be Muslim and the authorities admit to the fact he was investigated. He also appeared in a Jihadist TV piece.

The Italians also warned the Brits about the third guy.

Those on the far left trip over themselves to elevate and celebrate and laud normalcy or those who are doing what everyone else does, but only when it involves minorities. (and this isn't a diss to minorities but the white SJW idiots of the world)

The White House had an event where everyone in the audience rose to their feet giving a standing ovation to the Children of the Gospel Choir in the middle of a Sara Bareilles song.

Fathers who stay in the lives of their children and help raise them are *heroes*.

Muslims who join in a march after yet another murder occurs should be sainted.


Nothing outstanding about any of this. In fact, this is nothing more than normal life for the vast majority of people.

If I was in a group where this was happening, I'd be offended. It's what George W. Bush (and I'm no fan) refers to as "the soft bigotry of low expectations".

The only way that things will change is for muslims to be accepted and assimilated into the larger society and for the muslim society to begin confronting and shunning the terrorists.

This is beginning to happen.

"...Their move came as senior Muslims and community leaders said they would redouble efforts to root out extremism in their communities after the attack in London on Saturday...."

...A group of 130 imams and religious leaders have refused to perform the traditional Islamic funeral prayer for the London Bridge attackers....

"...Police were tipped off by members of the Muslim community that Salman Abedi was a dangerous extremist...."

Darn, did I miss the white male public events after white males gunned down 20 second-graders, black church members, etc?

Oh wait, did you not call for those events...??

"London cheers for Muslims as they walk down the London Bridge"

I didn't see this in their local press, so perhaps CNN embellished the story a tad.

I have noticed this among liberals which is just another form of:

Liberalism is a mental disorder

Makes perfect sense! The radicals live in the Muslim neighborhoods in the West, it's nearly impossible nobody knows of suspicious behavior in their own neighborhood. There is a level of protection with them, that is common sense.
Have you ever been suspicious of a neighbor, did you call the police?


How many times have we heard of people that went on a murder spree in the US and the neighbors had no idea.


There is strength in unity, start taking out the aggression on innocent Muslims and see what happens.

I thought this was common knowledge, but it seems this eludes some people. This isnt about liberals and conservatives, its about what can actually stop terrorism and what is either putting your head in the sand or kicking the can down the line. Extremist Islam exists as a tool to keep the arab population in check under control by the royal saudis or pick your ruler,they use religion to keep their population subservient, they export their extremist population to keep the us versus them narrative. The west feeds into it by selling weapons and training the oppressive governments, doubling down on the anti islam rethoric, it makes money for everyone at the table. You dont stop terror by being terrorist, we cant drone our way out of this, we can ban religions or thoughts or ideas. I would also say this we are not going to stop terrorism by grabbing our ankles either but any kind of tough measures need to come with a geopolitical gameplan, withdrawing support for Saudi Arabia, disengaging in the ME, trying to end the occupation of Palestine, etc.

If they feel welcome there, they will view themselves as part of the community and maybe next time, they will report something.
Well said, this is exactly what I am saying!

Hearts and minds is the only viable approach to solving the Islamic fundamentalist threat.
