This is almost getting monotonous–or would if it weren't so deadly. North Africans serving in the French armed forces are gunned down at a cash machine in Toulouse, then a few days later, a Rabbi and three Jewish children are killed by the same man outside of a Jewish school in Toulouse. Despite the obvious possibility that this could be a Jihadist going after "traitors" who joined the enemy's army and then indulged in a spot of Jew killing, the press in France and out never even considered it. Instead, it was days of banging on about how it had to be some right-wing racist acting out the xenophobic blood lust that lurks in the heart of every white man. Then they act all surprised when the monster is cornered and he turns out to be a Muslim Jihadist, but they say he's a lone wolf. Okay, a lone wolf who's part of Al Qaeda and busted out of a prison in Kandahar, but that's all. Oh, and his motive is a complete mystery.
Actually, they weren't surprised. They were too busy wringing their hands over the anti-Muslim backlash that will inevitably follow, yet never appears.
These are the sort of "journalists" who would have reported in 1940 that bombs just "happen" to be falling on London.
You do get the feeling that they subscribe to the "if we don't talk about it, it doesn't exist" school of problem solving.

I initially thought the culprit to be a Neo-Nazi because of the professionalism in the manner in which the murders were carried out.
ReplyDeleteOnly when the crass amateurish style of preparation and attempting to hide the tracks became imminent, it was obvious the murderer was a Jihadist.
Now they admit he was a jihadist, after he and the police ended up in a replay of the end of the Bonnet "motor bandit" gang in Paris in 1908, except that this time he decided to do a Cagney-style "blaze of glory" suicide-by-cop instead of needing to be dynamited into perdition by the flics'.
ReplyDeleteThe authorities now admit to being "concerned" about young Islamic male hotbloods who become "radicalized" via' Islamist internet sites. In short, it's all the Web's fault.
But not Islam's. Never Islam's.
But all those "anti-Islamic" types better watch out. Their consciousness WILL be raised, at any cost.
Including, I suspect, EuroUnion Mystical Circle Girl glaring at them disapprovingly.
