I could still just be a work place tussle that turned deadly by someone who just happened to be Muslim. It doesn’t fit any patterns of extremist attacks really at all. They planned on getting away with it by having an exit strat. Also if early reports are true they just went after people in the office at the party or whatever, there was about 600 more people they could have laid waste to and didn’t.
Nah. Heard they raided the house where the dude was from, and found more bombs made, as well as other bombs at the scene ready to go (though none of them detonated).
Along with the combat gear they had on, the running theory so far was that this Farooq mofo got radicalized by a bum the FBI had on a terrorist watch list that he was talking back and forth.
…Something at the party set him off to instead make it that day to ruin people’s lives.
Based on what they found at the dudes home, this wasn’t a postal situation, doesn’t help that the wife was in on it even after giving birth
He went to Saudi Arabia and came back "conservative"
This feeds into the statistic that “moderate conservative” Muslims are prone to acts of terrorism, or have an element within the community that allows for radicalization
It also shows that the NSA isn’t doing its job, or is incapable of doing its job
The Muslim community in the states has radicalization within it, and it doesn’t act to remove said element
The previous statement isn’t exclusive to American communities, it’s especially true of Holland, Sweden, France, UK, and soon Germany.
The radicalization of this type of Islam is a creation an export of Saudi Arabia
There will be a response aimed at Muslim community in the states
The Muslim community cannot just hold press confrwnces saying not all Muslims are like that, they need to censor or report radicalization elements of they don’t want to be targeted.
(A new days rises and there is only disappointment.)
So, yeah, this is basically looking like an act of Islamic terrorism, if only because it seems like it was carried out by would-be Islamic terroists who got pissed off at some Christmas party incident. I’ll admit slight surprise here, if only because as a target it didn’t and still doesn’t make much “sense”, especially since there were likely “softer” targets in the area. Wonder what their original plans were.
I really wanted to give people the benefit of the doubt, but if stuff like keeps up, then being Arab–even though that’s not necessarily the same thing as Muslim–is well on its way to becoming worse than being black in America.
Won’t this just get vetoed though? Either way, Congress chooses to stay useless. How surprising.
From the information we have, it seems like the guy acted on his own and was not part of any organization. It sounds like this was planned but something about the meeting yesterday set him off. Can people stop being crazy? Please?
Honestly, the worst thing about this situation is the number of people that were killed/injured, because niggas are killed basically everyday in SB. That’s why I was surprised that a “terrorist” (quotes because it basically means Muslim at this point) decided to target a shitty place like that in the first place.
It’s just a cesspool of white-trash, paisas, cholos, and street niggas killing and stealing from each other on the daily. When I was growing up, I saw multiple murders and was held at gunpoint multiple times, not a nice place to live unless lts in the few nicer areas in the city. Worst part is that I live right next to the hospital in which most of the victims were taken (loma Linda VA).
The cnn report says government knew this dude was in co tact with radicals. Not isolated. Even if he acted alone, he did so on their behalf or with an I te t to be associated.
Terrorist does basically mean Muslim at this point and the term has been thrown around so much its fallen so far from its original purpose and meaning.
I think Aziz Ansari had the perfect response to those who say Muslims who don’t do anything are at fault for radicalism.
“Can I get a step by step guide? How are my 60 year old parents in NC supposed to combat Islamic extremist”?
serious question, I see a lot of people saying Muslims should speak out, what kind of fucking affect is your everyday practicing Muslim going to send to extremist for speaking out?
