Today's Mass Shooting

[WinterHold]

I'm dead sure the shooter was a Muslim.

Not this time but you Muslims shure take a big piece of pie with your terrorism

Really? "The Anti-Defamation League"??

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Defamation_League

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL; formerly known as the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith) is an international Jewish non-governmental organization based in the United States. The ADL states that it "fights anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry, defends democratic ideals, and protects civil rights for all", doing so through "information, education, legislation, and advocacy".[1][2

Who should I believe? you and some ADL zionists, or Noam Chomsky?

In 1989, the linguist and left-wing commentator and activist Noam Chomsky characterized the ADL as having lost entirely its focus on civil rights issues in order to become solely an advocate for Israeli policy; he held that the ADL cast all left-wing opposition to Israeli interests as antisemitism.[88]

To build our Homegrown Terror database, we obtained data from a variety of sources: the Congressional Research Service, the FBI, DT Analytics, The Heritage Foundation, the Investigative Project on Terrorism, New America, Mother Jones, the Muslim Public Affairs Council, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Anti-Defamation League, the National Abortion Federation and the Animal Liberation Front’s own website. In addition, we set up news filters and searched journalism databases to scoop up missing incidents, using search terms such as “Islamist,” “sovereign citizen,” “Oath Keeper,” “ecoterrorism” and so on.

Through public databases and Freedom of Information Act requests, we collected primary court and law enforcement documents for almost every incident and carefully examined them, in combination with credible news coverage, to check whether each entry met the FBI criteria that define domestic terrorism. Incidents that met the definition were included, regardless of whether prosecutors filed terrorism charges. Some incidents inevitably involved judgment calls. To adjudicate those, we turned to a panel of experts: William Banks, director of the Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism at the Syracuse University College of Law; Bruce Hoffman, director of the Center for Security Studies at Georgetown University; and Daryl Johnson, former senior domestic terrorism analyst at the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis, now the owner and CEO of consulting firm DT Analytics. They provided guidance on whether to include or exclude borderline cases, such as those related to hate crimes, mental illness and confrontations with law enforcement.

In cases of mental illness, we excluded incidents only if there was no clear ideological motivation for the crime. With regard to police shootouts, we included incidents in which the targeting of police resulted from an ideological motivation. As one of our experts said, “Extremist belief systems cause individuals to be ‘attack-oriented’ rather than ‘escape-oriented,’ to use violence to attack or confront authority figures rather than flee or submit to them.” Hate crimes were included only when the perpetrator used a terrorist tactic or technique, such as an explosive device, firebomb or mass shooting.

Lastly, a note on terminology: We use the loose umbrella term “left wing” to refer to a broad range of ideologies, including animal rights, environmental and anti-racist extremists. We use the umbrella term “right wing” to encompass militia movements, as well as white supremacist, anti-government, anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant and anti-abortion extremists, including radical Christians. We use the term “Islamist” to describe theocratic extremists inspired by groups such as the Taliban, al-Qaida and the Islamic State. We chose the term “Islamist,” rather than “Islamic,” in an effort to uncouple the Muslim faith from the political ideology of Islamism.

Satisfied, douchebag?

As I've said before, you are nothing but a full blown apologist for Muslim and Arab atrocities. And now you've just proved it.

i don't think Atlass is a "douchebag". I do think he like most are stuck in the myths of antiquity. I worry less about Atlass than I do OLB and Alpha Male.

Religion and weapons is like a Reese's Peanut butter cup, some are not addicted to sugar, like a kid bouncing off the walls the morning after Halloween, but sure, far too many are on that sugar high.

But Atlass, nor Christians or Jews or Buddhists or Hindus or even atheists, none of us own a patent on morality. Our species ability to be cruel or compassionate is in us.

One comment:

“Extremist belief systems cause individuals to be ‘attack-oriented’ rather than ‘escape-oriented,’ to use violence to attack or confront authority figures rather than flee or submit to them.”

While Kennedy said:

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

"Islamic Extremism" is a very loose accusation, that doesn't give "arrested terrorist" a chance of rehab or focused mental studying of the criminal: unlike the "left and right" criminals. I'm sure that if America fixed its foreign policy and withdrew from Afghanistan + cut its support to regimes like the Sauds; Islamist violence would drop to half or maybe even less.

Though; thank you for bringing a different source. But do you ever put the possibility of "Islamophobia" existing for real?

Of course it exists. You brought it on yourselves.




There really aren't enough muslims in the US for anyone to take notice until then.  Then, we noticed.

Who do you think you’re fooling? Islamist violence would drop to half or less? You’d still have Arabs and Persians killing each other for regional dominance (not to mention your centuries-long spat over who the True Heirs of Islam are, thanks to your fucking prophet’s lack of foresight and clarity concerning succession).

Maybe someday the ME will have something to offer the world besides oil, arms purchases, and violent extremism, but first you’ll have to grow up and let go of the fairy tales that fertilize your soil and souls like the bullshit it is.

Yeah, I don’t think that’s likely, either.
