‘terrorist attacks against non muslim civilians’?
um, have you forgotten the youngest victim of the 7/7 attacks was a teenage moslem girl?
that many moslems were in the towers died in 9/11
maybe THAT’S why the real moslems want to distance themselves from the terrorists, because their horrendous actions are nothing to do with the true islam the majority follow and the fact that these terrorists are willing to kill indiscriminately people of any faith, including islam, shows their motive is simply murder and nothing to do with religion

“Davod – who’s the “you” in that sentence? Everyone in the UK? I don’t really understand what you’re getting at.”

Sorry. The UK and US governments had, for a while accepted the theory espoused by some Muslim groups that the radical Muslim terrorists were acting outside of their interpretation of Islam. Therefore terrorist attacks by radical Islamists against non-Muslim civillians were anti-Islamist attacks.

Yes. I know it sounds ridiculous but it makes perfect sense if you want to get the rest of Islam off the hook (You know, the real Muslims).

“Brilliant!”

And Lefti is a deeply offensive slur.

“If this had happened in the UK, it would almost certainly be a islamist terrorist attack, and you’d expect the release of a martyrdom video.”

I thought that in the UK you too subscribed to theory that any attack of this nature by a Muslim fundementalist was an anti-Islamic attack .

“He obviously didn’t want to go,” said Duane Reasoner, 18, who looked up to Hasan as a sort of religious mentor.”

This from the Maryland Mosque where they said he was a good guy

“So many times I talked with him,” said Akhter, a community leader who is sort of like a mosque gadfly, challenging congregants to reject literal, rigid interpretations of Islam. “I was trying to modernize him. I tried my best. He used to hate America as a whole. He was more anti-American than American.”

Despite all the conversations, Akther said, “I couldn’t get through to him. He was a typical fundamentalist Muslim.”

As an Inbetweener might say:

“Brilliant!”

Can either of you actually read?

Yes. The category missing, as it always is here in Leftistan, is “Islam”.

So, do we have any further reasons to believe this was some insane Jihadist attack, rather than some insane lone nutter gunman attack in the grand American tradition?

Please explain why a lone nutter gunman can’t be a jihadist.

If this had happened in the UK, it would almost certainly be a islamist terrorist attack, and you’d expect the release of a martyrdom video.

Since this happened in the US, where there are loads of similar shoot ups from disgruntled ex-exmployees and pissed off teenagers, we need more info before coming to any conclusion.
