    Yeah, I had multiple links open. Google it and you will find an Italian paper which interviewed the father and h we said he knew his son was devoted to ISIS, that they both sought the destruction of Israel though the father said his son was obsessed with the topic (the father himself said Israel would be gone in two years), and that his wife lived with the couple. The same house with the bomb factory, all the weapons, and where they practiced tactics in the backyard yet mommy claims she never knew anything. That just is not believable.

    It is a town house. Meaning it is something like a row house. It is a house but it shares a wall with a neighboring house. This is a medium density development style.

    The new Attorney General won't be inspiring much confidence with this crap.

    In an interview Sunday about the San Bernardino shootings that killed 14 people, Lynch said she was "not sure" which ideology the San Bernardino shooters were driven by. However, hours later in an Oval Office address, President Barack Obama discussed the shootings and the need for the U.S. to "destroy" the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant group.

    Asked by POLITICO why she was reluctant to publicly say even that the shootings were inspired by ISIL, Lynch stressed the need for investigators to keep an open mind to all possibilities.

    "At this point…we’re not prepared to limit any particular ideology to what may have inspired these individuals," the attorney general said. "There are a number of groups that are on social media, looking to encourage people to commit acts of violence within the homeland, so at this point we simply do not want to rule anything out."

    At least Barney Fife had a burning interest with the cases he worked. Convincing people that you're the dumbest person in the entire room isn't a good way to address an audience.

    And don't forget - not all Muslims are terrorists! I just want to make sure I point that out, because it's not mentioned every fucking time someone opens their trap on CNN.

    ^ Reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where Jerry and George denied dozens of time "we're not gay" immediately appended each time with "NOT that there's anything wrong with that." After hearing it enough times, it was hard to tell if the writers were mockingly implying that maybe they thought there was something wrong with it (o/w why keep saying it?).

    Because even then, if you said you weren't gay, someone would inevitably chime in with "What's wrong with being gay?"
    I guess the perpetually offended began their rise around then.

    Do you prefer BBC? I post Fox because they were the first with the story but everyone has it now and the facts are not in dispute.

    Look no further than the hateful ignorance spouted by Dinner and gturner, if you want to know why people keep raising this point.

    Not all are terrorists, but all will have some pretty weird beliefs. Islam isn't like a different flavor of Christianity. We're used to "different religions" being things like Methodist versus Episcopal versus Baptist, or Hollywood people who are into Yoga or Buddhism. That's just part of most Westerners' outlook.

    Islam is an entirely different animal. Lots of commands to slay the infidels, and lots of examples by the Prophet, PBUH. And they didn't reject it, as we do with large parts of the Old Testament regarding slaughter, they embellished and expanded on the mayhem. As the great Islamic scholar Al Suyuti wrote on the 72 virgins thing: "Each time we sleep with a houri we find her virgin. Besides, the penis of the Elected never softens. The erection is eternal; the sensation that you feel each time you make love is utterly delicious and out of this world and were you to experience it in this world you would faint. Each chosen one will marry seventy houris, besides the women he married on earth, and all will have appetising vaginas."

    More on the female

    San Bernardino shooter's 'hardline' Islam not an outlier in native Pakistan

    Tashfeen Malik’s daily life was a common one that has not been an indicator of radicalization: ‘She’s a typical small-town, educated, middle-class conservative’


    Anyone looking for clues for why Tashfeen Malik turned from a young mother into an Islamic State-supporting mass killer capable of slaughtering 14 people with her husband will struggle to find anything in the picture that has so far emerged of the 29-year-old Pakistani.

    The news on Monday that she regularly attended a women’s religious group that promotes an austere form of Islam did nothing to change the emerging profile of a woman who resembles countless other young Pakistanis living at a time of social, economic and religious upheaval.

    “She’s a typical small-town, educated, middle-class conservative,” said Nadeem Farooq Paracha, a social commentator for Dawn newspaper. It is a class getting richer, living in fast-growing towns and, Paracha notes, increasingly strident in its religion.

    And that's a big problem, and something all the Islamic spokesmen (aside from ISIS) constantly deny. There's very little observable difference between a rather mainstream Muslim and someone who would shoot up a Christmas party.

    An Egyptian perspective on the San Bernardino attack:



    I like the part about being sat on an "impalement rod". I call that "ass piking." Vlad the Impaler found that it worked wonders for attitude adjustment in Transylvania.

    Is that paraphrased, or a direct translation?

    How does information on a bank deposit turn into "on or about"?

    Also, that number clearly is a result of haggling. Nice to see it isn't just given away, but made to count.

    Jesus abhors licorice. He used to hate Elvis but he mellowed. It took a while but he eventually warmed up to Metallica. Those are weird Christian beliefs.

    In contrast, gathering your fiends to beat your daughters's head in with rocks, even when it doesn't make a lick of logical sense to you, is something you must do when your goat-fucking neighbor rapes her. You will post the video online. You will hug her and explain that she must go to hell to save us all from sin and wickedness. Allah be praised.

    I watched that video. Several different versions, with different protagonists. Back when I was in school we read some short piece by some Eastern European author about a stoning and how primitive it was. I forget the guys name but he's very famous, and his story is about extremely backwards people who draw a lottery to kill someone when the crops fail. It's so dark that American mind's couldn't really grasp the horror after the 1500 or 1600's. Muslims are making videos of that and posting them on Youtube, and celebrating in the glory of it. Go watch them. Listen to the daughter plea and cry in sheer terror. Watch as her father hurls the first stone. See the killing throw where her skull is cracked open. Watch all the Muslims keep throwing for points and cheering when someone makes a good hit.

    They are not like us, but we used to be like them in our distant past. Let's not go back there. It's a very dark place.

    San Bernardino had an Islamic terrorist attack on December 2nd. They had another Islamic attack on December 7th. Fortunately nobody was injured.

    Victor Valley News

    VICTORVILLE-(VVNG.com): “I would die and kill for Allah” yelled Mohamed Elrawi as he chased his terrified neighbor with a sword during a dispute. Just before 5:10 p.m. on Monday, December 7th deputies from the Victorville Station responded to a subject that was brandishing a weapon on the 14000 block of La Paz Drive.

    Due to the nature of the investigation, a search warrant was obtained for the search of Ellrawi’s home. During the execution of a search warrant detectives located a Koran along with several other items leading investigators to believe Elrawi may be a radicalized Muslim. “Sheriff’s Intelligence Division was notified of the investigation. Deputies began surveillance and at a little after midnight, Elrawi returned to his apartment and was quickly taken into custody without incident,” said Sgt. Dave Burgess.

    Fortunately he was just a regular Muslim who hadn't spent two years plotting a massacre.

    A wonder Star Trek fan was lost in the attack. :(

    Daniel Eugene Kaufman (Aug. 12, 1973 - Dec. 2, 2015)

    This is Daniel Kaufman. Nobody ever called him Larry. He was named after the Elton John song. And he was my brother. Adopted, that's why his name is different; he was my cousin by birth. My parents adopted him when he was 10 and I was 7. He taught me how to tie my shoelaces. He taught me how to shave. This was the last picture he texted me, on November 7. He's giving the Vulcan salute because he was at a place in Van Nuys which was used as a filming location in Star Trek.

    He was killed by Muslim terrorists in San Bernardino on December 2, along with 13 other people. He was 42. He was laid to rest earlier today.

    A whole lot more from his brother, Tim Sandefur. Read the whole thing.

    Tim also wrote extensively on the politics of Star Trek.

    All I'm getting from this is that Islam has a better marketing pitch than Christianity. And Scientology - I mean, if Hubbard really did just want to create a fake religion so he got money and poon, he should've cottoned to the idea of promising such to the faithful.

    Many people named Daniel find that this fails to happen to them, as well. (What am I missing?)

    But if he makes it obvious Daniel is his preferred moniker, what's surprising about that?
