It would not be news worthy if it happened. My producer would ax it quickly, saying it was a non-event.

Kinda of like,
"Black woman raped and killed" - not news, covered only locally, if at all.
"Beautiful blonde, mother of 2 killed" -major news story, national coverage.

This stuff scares the bejesus out of me.

Unless the west wakes up, including Europe, how long will it be before our democracy and goodwill are used against us to enslave us? Osama's father had over 50 children. Once a majority is in place (first in Europe) local laws can creep to Sharia for all. How long will it be before threats on politicians and other officials will cause fear to override our liberty?

I don't understand why we need to accept people who want to do us harm into our midst not only for settlement but even for travel. As soon as they open their mouths that they want to bring down our way of living they should be expelled. What ever happened to the laws of sedition?

There are "crazy" people everywhere. If you read the article you will see that he claimed the priest was shouting "Allahu Akbar", "That's what they tell you right before they blow you up," police say Bruce told them.

TAMPA — Marine reservist Jasen Bruce was getting clothes out of the trunk of his car Monday evening when a bearded man in a robe approached him.
That man, a Greek Orthodox priest named Father Alexios Marakis, speaks little English and was lost, police said. He wanted directions.



Tampa police: Marine reservist attacked Greek priest he mistook or terrorist

You can't compare the Jew's Beth Din (a religious court that advises on burials, divorce, and kosher food and such) to that of Sharia in that Jews are taught to respect the laws of the countries that they are living in. They don't want nor insist that everyone in another country conform to Orthodox Jewish laws.

Funny how ultra liberals will defend muslims who do these sort of things but will instantly attack christians and christianity if one or a few do something stupid. They regularly attack the christian or catholic church for their views on abortion and gay marriage but defend muslims who execute homosexuals in their countries.

So I guess this will be reported as "another isolated incident" and dismissed ?

At what point do these "isolated" incidents become a pattern ?
How many of them before they are not isolated and defended ?

Welcome to bleeding heart liberal lunacy. They don't know if they're coming or going.

I'm not better than that. I vote for beating the hell out of him, maybe a little waterboarding, then force feeding him a ham sandwich.
