Philly Shooter Was Right -- The Police Do Defend Laws Contrary To The Teachings Of Islam
According to a CNN story by Ray Sanchez, Jason Hanna and Shimon Prokupecz, Edward Archer, who fired into a police car at close range, seriously wounding Officer Jesse Hartnett, 33, later said:
"I follow Allah. I pledge my allegiance to the Islamic State and that's why I did what I did."
Not surprisingly, the Mayor, acting as if he is an expert on Islam, declared the shooting to have nothing to do with it:
Mayor Jim Kenney said the shooting had nothing to do with Islam."It is abhorrent," he said. "It does not represent the religion in any shape or form or any of the teachings. This is a criminal with a stolen gun who tried to kill one of our officers, and it has nothing to do with being a Muslim or following the Islamic faith."
I've been reading in Islam since 2001, and I can tell you the Mayor is quite wrong. Roger SImon gets it, writing at PJM:
Actually, the would-be cop killer/ISIS member in white Isla-drag (fortunately he did not achieve his goal) was correct in his evaluation. Our police do defend laws contrary to the Quran, such as monogamy, equal rights for women, separation of church and state, etc., etc.
He also notes that a Pew study informs us that Islam will be the second-largest religion of the USA before 2040.
Roger continues:
So along comes this supposedly vulgar guy Donald Trump, who has the audacity to say we should suspend Muslim immigration until we "figure things out." I'd like to say when I first heard him say that I winced. How Unconstitutional! How Un-PC! But I didn't. I stared at the television, nodded, and quietly said: "Right on!" I suspect a lot of other people did too, even some (maybe more than just some) who publicly wash their hands of him. We shall see.As for me, I agree with Trump 100%, quite publicly now. Something must be done. And like Trump, I have a number of Muslim friends who are just fine, some quite courageous. We should all respect people like that -- and we will. But we don't have the luxury of blind multiculturalism anymore. In any case, multiculturalism is nothing more than a big fascist lie. (If you do your homework and look into its roots in cultural relativism, you will see what I mean.) If we can't entirely cut off Muslim immigration (for Constitutional reasons or other), we must restrict it to such a degree that it is less than a dribble coming out of the spigot with every drop boiled down and inspected to the last molecule.
And, yes, I am aware Edward Archer -- the pathetic would-be cop killer -- is no immigrant and that cutting immigration will not cure everything, or even all that much. But you have to start somewhere and, sadly, there is no such thing as a real cure -- not one that is in any sense immediate. The root of the problem is Islam itself -- in dire need of a reformation that may be impossible within its own twisted ideology.
But it's so much nicer to say "He used a GUN!" than to address the HUMAN that pulled the trigger.
In this case the guy might be mental and was a bomb looking for a trigger.
I agree w/Trump. Slow things down. Get the facts. Prosecute properly. It is what it is and let's take the time to figure what "it" is. Get the PC out of it.

Bob, we need to institute human control, to keep people out of the filthy grasp of firearms. Maybe a background check on guns, and a 3 day waiting period before they can pick up their human.

Time for a law against murder.

Are we quite sure he wasnt (as cops so often are when they shoot unsuspecting people) in fear for his life because the cop had a weapon and was charging towards him by not moving?

"It does not represent the religion in any shape or form or any of the teachings"
Yea, this is why Trump is so popular - he doesn't say such stupid shit - he might say other stupid shit; but, not something that is THIS stupid.

Did he really say they should all wear identifying badges or was that a hoax?

NicoleK,
That was widely reported, but it was a reporter who tacked that onto a question about his statements that we need to look into stopping Muslim immigration until we figure out better screening procedures, and he generically agreed with the entire statement, saying nothing was off the table to examine, but didn't specifically endorse any actions other than examining it.

"Time for a law against murder."
Yep. And in Leftist La-La Land, passing a law against it will make it stop happening.
