| #8 Nearly all or all of the terrorism in this country and others have been done by Islamics. This has been going on for some time too. It's not an unfounded fear if it's true. Islamophobia is one of those red herrings the left loves to drag out. A variation of blame the victims. Personally, IMO we ought to go viking on these arseholes--take your pick of the left or the Islamics. However, you can choose both. |

| #7 No Grom. This is far worse. In a dry run you try to avoid getting caught. Here the boy was trying to get caught because his goal and his father's was to use the publicity in order tpo make the task easier for future bombings and harder for the police. And Obama did his utmost to help. As usual. |

| #6 1) Islam, like any religion, is an ideology. 2) Ideologies make people do things. For instance the Aztec religion had thousands of people having their hearts ripped of their living bodies. I am quite sure First Amendment would be quite different if Founding Fathers had been in contact with the Aztecs. 3) Since ideologies, be they religious or political, make people do things it is legitimate to question what they try having people to do and be phobic of them 4) The Guardian and similar leftiist crap gets the hissy fits about "biiiiiiggots, repuuuublicans, faaaaaaaaar riiiiiiight, zioooooonists". In the bname of what do they deny to others the right to get them about Islam? |

| #5 Since the father has had incidence of pushing Islamic issues against Christian priests (notably one in Florida) the school in question *should* have known the family was up to stuff like that and acted appropriately. Then again no tolerance laws and administrations bullying the children over wearing flags are common place so appropriately is pretty hard to pin down these days. |

| #3 That looks like quite the "typical American family" in the accompanying photo. Anyone recognize the Holy Mens decorating the wall? Surprised there weren't any goats or camels in the picture. g(r)om if you're cynical you're not the only one. |

| #1 Counter response to this Muslim post here on Rantburg A Muslim teen, fourteen-year-old Ahmed Mohamed, bought a strange ticking device to his school, MacArthur High School. His device caused alarm and fear, and he was detained for having what his teacher perceived as a bomb. Police officers said the electronic components and wires inside his Vaultz pencil case (which is the size of a briefcase) looked like a “hoax bomb,” according to local news station WFAA. When questioned about what the device was, Mohamed wouldn’t answer. Now terror-tied Islamic groups like the Hamas-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), their media lapdogs, and even Barack Obama are waging jihad against the school and the local police. When police questioned the boy, WFAA reports, they said he was “passive aggressive” and didn’t give them a “reasonable answer” as to why he had brought his contraption to the school. “We attempted to question the juvenile about what it was and he would simply only say it was a clock. He didn’t offer any explanation as to what it was for, why he created this device, why he brought it to school,” said James McLellan of the Irving Police Department. This whole thing smells like a setup. With ISIS in America, and young moderate Muslims fleeing to Syria to join the terror group, the response of MacArthur High School officials was rational and reasonable. At my website, PamelaGeller.com, I run news stories on a weekly basis of American Muslim teens who have been arrested for trying to join ISIS. Just this week, a Muslim teen from Philadelphia was arrested for an alleged plot to assassinate the Pope during his visit to the United States. (Link) |
