Okay, so both terrorists are Russian, but they claim to be Muslim. Is there any chance we won't see the anti-Muslim witch hunts start up again, just as they were finally starting to die off? I'd like to think so, but the extreme stupidity of bigots in this country makes that unlikely.
Witch hunts, eh ? Were there killings and mosque bombings that I am unaware of ?? I think Americans have generally been surprisingly well behaved all things considered beyond isolated incidents here and there, hardly something that you could call a lynch mob or witch hunt. If you're crying about soon to come nasty comments on the Internet, well, that isn't different from any other day on the Internet. I realize this puts another dent in the Islam = Peace narrative though and the clowns who run around and keep repeating that over and over again, but oh well...
Who are you calling a bigot anyway, being a great big one yourself ?? It's commendable that you don't want Mohammedans/Muslims negatively generalized as terrorists or terrorist-sympathizers, but you had no problem generalizing the "whitey christian" as "the most bigoted kind on the planet" in that linked post. "White" had no business in your comment, and I doubt you're a black guy, but even then I find it very bizarre, and never mind you generalizing them as bigoted (
and I'm sure in your dictionary, bigoted = they don't agree with me!).
At least CNN has the right idea. One of their guys said "These are islamic terrorists?" and the woman next to him corrected him and said "Those are two different words. We shouldn't automatically put them together."
The same CNN that had an analyst who floated the idea of "some right-wing group" before there were any real facts on the ground in this case... That's commendable, so now they'll try to make sure an actual fact is omitted when it suits them of course.
Please avoid the Faux News shit.
Yeah, cause all the other networks do such a bang up job. I remember the Batman-opening shooting massacre and ABC News basically "googling" and then from that reporting that the guy was a Tea Party member... Took them an hour or two to correct that shit and the apology was only issued on the website. Wanting it to be true so much got the better of them... I really thought the Tea Party should've filed a defamation suit in that case, but they let them get away with it.
