    Just waiting for Obummer or one of his talking puppets to come out and say that it’s not Muslim radical terrorism; it’s just a “lone wolf.”

    Statement from obama: “let’s not jump to conclusions and assume this was a hate crime, or that this man was associated with Islam. Islam is the religion of peace.”

    Less than one year ago, a psycho from Somalia attacked people eating at an Israeli owned restaurant in Columbus, OH, with a machete. He seriously injured a number of people, and was eventually shot and killed by a local cop. However, to this day, the local and federal law enforcement officials, have played down that incident, and have not declared it as a terrorist incident. Those officials have gone out of their way to state that “the guy was mentally disturbed”. Also, they kept pointing out that the restaurant was owned by an Israeli Christian Arab! Look, the terrorist didn’t know that! He saw an Israeli flag in the window, and decided to attack the restaurant. Also, about 10 years ago, an Arab was caught in a plot to blow up the Polaris Mall, in Columbus, OH. Again, the local authorities hushed that incident up, and didn’t want to reveal the identity of the perpetrator. The Polaris Mall is owned by a Jew, and the Arab perpetrator knew that. It is time to stop being politically correct, and treat these terrorist incidents as terrorist incidents, and not as criminal acts, as was the case with the first World Trade Center attack, in 1993.
