All the media has been running in the days after the Halloween jihad is that it was mosques facing “hostility.” Will this story even make their front section, let alone front page?

An attack against a jihadi mosque could well be regarded – even legally – as a defensive action, not unlike when Israel attacks a jihadi nation constructing a nuclear plant (Iraq and Syria – unfortunately not Iran (yet)) to prevent its future usage militarily against the Jewish State..

Right now, non muslims observe the rule of law and order, something muslims consider contemptuous. In the short term, muslims can successfully hide behind the law, but, one day, the populace will decide the rule of law and the government are not protecting them, then there will be changes made. It is rather pathetic that western europe is so full of cowards that will not protect anything, including their sisters and daughters, as to grovel and submit to every muslim pervert that they have bought and paid for.

I stand corrected. The shooter was a rabidly overt ATHEIST and likely a disgruntled Sandersnista. He apparently was gunning for his ex-wife’s family in said church.

Despite who did that attack:
What a nonsense. Did you ever ask yourself, why islamic people fleeing from their home countries? Yes, the West is bombing them for decades for simple reason such as oil. But that’s not the point what I want to make: Their King’s (something from the last millennium) give a sh.. about their brothers. Also, it’s quite a psychological difference between Western and Eastern cultures and no you cannot mix everything, this is simply a lie of private shareholders want to achieve more power and money and as well has nada to do with race or color. Look at statistics such as IQ and cultures. Many professors talked about that in the 80s.
No, Islam does not belong in Western countries, they should build up their own country instead of spreading and traumatising themselves and theirs kids. They are “guest” and have to adapt. It’s not vice versa, the other way around is quite mental / brainwashed to think.

The correspondent on Fox News right now is strongly spewing anti gun ownership propaganda. Has he some how forgotten that last week in NYC the creep used a truck? Oh btw the jihadi of the week, last week, sister is “pleading” for him to get a fair trial. Clearly this is just islamaphobia at work because his mother visited recently and said if she had noticed any “radicalism” she would have taken him back to Uzbekistan. When will we stop persecuting these wonderful people who only want the right to follow their peaceful religion? When? We should be glad to be murdered in the name of their religion. After all we have freedom of religion here and their religion mandates our demise.

indeed, Mahou, also, the MSM is hoping, as they dare not pray, it is a crazed white guy. They do not want to report that this heinous and cowardice mass-murder was perpetrated by some crazed jihadist. The MSM is able and willing to bury the truth or conjure-up lies. I, like you and others, am waiting for the news conference by the law-enforcement and other agencies. Will we get the old double shuffle or the truth? A rhetorical question.

Islamic Convert is Shooter in Church Shooting in Southerland Springs, TX. He Left Online Manifesto

#texaschurchshooting shooter is 29 year old US marine turned muslim convert, Samir Al-Hajeed. His manifesto is making its rounds on the web
The shooter walked into the church in Sutherland Springs Texas at 11/45 am. They knew the man, who carried automatic weapons.
Pres. Trump is in Japan. He tweeted may God be with the people of Sutherland Springs. The FBI is on scene, and I am monitoring the situation.

At least 27 people were killed and around 27 injured in a Texas church shooting Sunday morning, law enforcement sources told ABC News.
The alleged shooter is dead, and it appears there is no longer an active threat at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, about 40 miles southeast of San Antonio, police told ABC News.
A person who said she works at a gas station across the street from the church told ABC News she heard rapid gunfire at around 11:15 a.m., leading congregants from the church as well as customers at the station to run inside for cover.
“We heard several shots and we all started running inside the store,” she said.
“It lasted about 15 seconds. I yelled, ‘Get down! Get inside!’ and we all went into hiding,” said the woman, who said she is 49 but declined to give her name.
She said the gas station locked its doors. “We have not reopened,” she said.
She then that within minutes of the gunfire, emergency personnel had arrived at the scene.
“There were officers that were checking the wounded in here were asking them questions,” she said.

I haven’t heard this, yet; only that he was an atheist. This said, nothing would surprise me, the truth is often secreted when it comes to staining Islam’s reputation. Not that Isam isn’t stained already; however, we know that the MSM and others within the government and its agencies are unscrupulous and opportunistic.

A Mosque is not a temple for religious worship. It’s the forward base of caliphate invaders whose mission outside Islamic territory is to subdue and rule the invaded populations.
Now, that you understand every Muslim in your country of America is a Soldier of the Caliphate, you, the armed population of your United States should know what needs to be done with the Caliphate’s command centers, i.e. Mosques, in your midst

From what is being reported, the shooter, the report was not totally clear, one has presume he was Caucasian. The MSM will be ecstatic and praying to Lenin in effigy for him not being disciple of the Cult of Islam. Obviously, the information was minimal, as it is early in this heinous mass-murder investigation. The MSM dropped the Halloween Jihad within a day or two, as they did not want to upset their Muslim brothers. Undoubtedly, the media will milk this story until the bovine is dead, seeing that the shooter was white. The loathsome MSM will also speculate that he, the murderer, was a Trump supporter and a Republican. The odious leftists and their MSM facilitators will never owe-up to the truth. They are the peddlers, pimps of hatred, bigotry and the loathing or anyone diverse of their political/Marxist diktat; not to forget those daring to disparage Islam.
