[Breitbart] He began by expressing his well-wishes for the officer who the Muslim man attempted to execute, but then spent the latter part of his statement distancing Islam from the shooter, who claimed he was carrying out the shooting for Islam.
"In no way shape or form does anyone in this room believe that Islam or the teaching of Islam has anything to do with what you've seen on the screen," said Mayor Kenney.
"That is abhorrent. It's just terrible and it does not represent this religion [Islam] in any way shape or form or any of its teachings," he added. "This is a criminal with a stolen gun who tried to kill one of our officers. It has nothing to do with being a Muslim or following the Islamic faith."

I've read stories about Navy ships during WWII who had only one or two movies on board, so that after a bit the sailors would recite the lines along with the actors. I'm about there with this particular movie.

I would have loved to see his contortions had the shooter been a BLM adherent.
Action News has learned that 30-year-old Edward Archer traveled twice in recent years to the Middle East, but was not on any terror watch lists.
Law enforcement sources say Archer's first trip was to Saudi Arabia in 2011 for Hajj. He then traveled to Egypt in 2012. Both trips departed from New York-area airports.
So Mr. Archer was indeed, as his mother said, a Muslim in more than name. Let me suggest that Hizzoner is full of it, and its ripest, most aromatic form.

How fortunate that Mayor Kenney is a distinguished religious scholar with the expertise to inform the citizenry what does and does not accurately represent the Islamic faith.
It's just funny that by now, most people's conditioned reflex would be to flee or hit the deck upon hearing shouts of "Allahu Akbar."

Gravity doesn't kill people. People kill people.
[BBC] A hospital in China has been bulldozed while still in use, reportedly causing doctors inside to flee and burying six bodies from its morgue under rubble, state media say.
The Number Four Hospital of Zhengzhou University in Henan province was partially demolished on Thursday amid a land dispute, Xinhua news agency said.
Hospital staff told news hounds equipment worth over $600,000 was damaged.
The case has sparked outrage in China, where forced demolitions are common.
Doctors told local media that several men in camouflage uniforms showed up at the hospital, in Huiji district, on Thursday, and began bulldozing the building.
Liu Chunguang, director of the hospital's radiology department, told Xinhua news agency he was examining a patient when the demolition took place.
"A gaping hole appeared - the patient was half-scared to death, and ran out."
Meanwhile, ...back at the wrecked scow, a single surviver held tightly to the smashed prow... hospital official Yuan Fang told Xinhua that radiology equipment had been damaged and the hospital had had to suspend its activities, forcing many patients to switch hospitals.
"Burying the bodies of patients in rubble is extremely disrespectful to the dear departed," he added.
The local Huiji district government said in a statement that the hospital's CT room and morgue were on land designated for a road expansion project, and that it had asked the hospital to dismantle the rooms themselves several times.
The hospital was evacuated prior to demolition, and there were no casualties, the statement added.
However, corruption finds a dozen alibis for its evil deeds... hospital officials said three doctors and a patient were in the building at the time of demolition, and that some hospital workers were maimed when they tried to stop the demolition, Jinghua news reported.

Am I the only one who thought of the opening scene in "The Hitchiker's Guide To The Galaxy" ?
Consequences. They just never seem to end, especially when you made Russia unhappy.
[Rudaw] Russia has cancelled a multibillion dollar deal with Ankara aimed at helping The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... develop its first nuclear power plant.
According to the Anadolu Agency the deal, signed on April 13 last year, would have envisaged 1,000 nuclear engineers being trained in both countries, six months in Ankara and a year in Moscow.
However due to the fallout in relations between the two countries due to the shooting down of a Russian jet by Turkey near the Syrian border in November Russia has cancelled the plan.
As part of the $20 billion deal Russia's National Research Nuclear University (MEPhI) was to initiate training programs in four Turkish universities to give the Turks the know-how to run Akkuyu, Turkey's first nuclear power plant which is being built in the country's southern province of Mersin.
[TODAYSZAMAN] An Ankara court has ruled for President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... to pay the legal expenses of main opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu, whom Erdogan had sued for TL 100,000 in damages for saying the president has gold toilets in his palace.
According to a report in the Hurriyet daily on Thursday, the Ankara 27th Court of First Instance announced its reasoned decision in the "gold toilet" case, which was dismissed on the first hearing. The reasoned decision said the Republican Peoples' Party (CHP) leader's remarks were criticisms of the governments' excessive expenses and should be regarded as political criticism.
The court also ruled for Erdogan to pay Kilicdaroglu's TL 10 court expenses and TL 1,500 in attorney's fees.
Kilicdaroglu claimed in May Erdogan's controversial palace had golden toilets. The president slammed the claims and invited the opposition leader, who wowed to never set foot in the palace which he and many other critics claim is illegal, to inspect the toilets in the palace. In response, the CHP reiterated its leader has no intention of visiting the "illegally built" palace.
Erdogan had filed the lawsuit against Kilicdaroglu on June 2.
Erdogan moved into the controversial 1,000-room palace complex after winning the presidential election in 2014. He was heavily criticized for residing in the palace as it was built in violation of a court decision ordering a halt on construction because it was in an environmentally protected zone.

[TODAYSZAMAN] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... 's Religious Affairs Directorate has removed a statement it gave in response to a question on a father's "lustful" feelings for his daughter after the answer sparked wide reaction.
The answer, which stands as a fatwa or a religious decree, was widely shared on the social media before its link was removed from the directorate's website. According to screen shots taken by social media users, while answering a question on whether a man's having "lustful" feelings for his daughter would religiously invalidate his marriage with the girl's mother, the High Council on Religious Affairs -- the directorate's body which deals with fatwas-- showed some Islamic sources to explain the issue.
The answer said Islamic scholars have differing opinions on the issue, quoting some scholars who say the marriage would be null and void. It then explains the circumstances for such a situation to happen, which includes the girl's being above nine and the contact's being too close to arouse lustful feelings in the father.
The fatwa drew strong reactions on the social media, prompting Religious Affairs Directorate to issue a statement and to remove the answer from the website. The directorate said "the opinions in the text which lack wisdom and morals cannot be attributed to the High Council on Religious Affairs and the directorate."
The statement said the reports on the answer aim to discredit the directorate, noting that the question was purposefully asked by some and claimed that those who asked the question "distorted" the answer with "tricks, wiliness and wordplay". It added that "comments made by some media outlets on the issue are perverse and twisted," vowing to take legal actions against media outlets publishing the story.

[Guardian] A British aviator has touched down in Sydney, completing her 21,000km solo flight from England in a vintage open cockpit biplane.
"I need a drink. And I need a hairdresser," said Tracey Curtis-Taylor as she climbed out of her 1942 Boeing Stearman Spirit of Artemis to cheers and applause at Sydney airport on Saturday.
The 53-year-old pilot has flown across 23 countries, making 50 refuelling stops, since she set off from Farnborough, Hampshire, southern England, in October.
The pilot's mission has been to emulate pioneering British aviator Amy Johnson who became the first woman to fly solo from Britain to Australia in 1930.

Artemis was a female god who was a crack archer and Orion's lover. She was conned by her brother into killing him after he swam out into the ocean to escape a giant scorpion he had been fighting all day long. She begged Zeus to restore his life but Zeus refused so she put him in the sky. She also put the giant scorpion in the sky but on the opposite side and that's why the constellations Orion and Scorpious are not seen at the same time.
