Patterico: "It's A Real Head Scratcher"
Blogger Patterico wins for this week's (and maybe this month's) best blog headline:
Man Slashes Rabbi's Throat While Screaming "Allahu Akbar" -- Police Trying to Determine Motive
An excerpt from Patterico's blog item:
Gendarme!!! Look over here!Agnes Thibault-Lecuivre, a spokeswoman for the Paris prosecutor's office, said the two victims had been wearing Jewish skullcaps, and the attacker was detained after a chase through the synagogue. The Simon Wiesenthal Center, which monitors anti-Semitic incidents worldwide, said in a statement that the assailant screamed "Allah-u-Akbar" -- or "God is great" -- during the attack.I do believe we have . . . A CLEW!!! Alert Hercule Poirot!
To be fair, it is possible Presbyterianism was at root here.
Clearly you don't know Presbyterians. The screaming part clearly rules them out. Now if it was reported that the person calmly stated in a monotone voice "Allah-u-Akbar" then there might be a possibility. </joking>

Well Michele Bachmann is questioning why most of the training about Muslim terrorists Was taken out of the FBI/DOD/DHS anti-terrorism courses.
This doesn't surprise me at all.

Personally, I blame the Methodists and their unlicensed pot roasts. Eliminate the pressure cooker show loophole!

Obviously the attackers hate the gayz.

One of the great advantages of freedom of speech is that it allows the true idiots to self identify.

It's obviouisly due to the problem of lack of gun control. A knife was used? That's irrelevant, somehow that will work out. It's in Paris,also irrelevant. I just need to think/spin about it.
Ah the evil dead guy was obviously overconfident because he unreasonably assumed someone with a gun would protect him, therefore he did not take proper care of his life by running hiding and calling the ever present police.

oh sure! Blame us Presbyterians! We're all doped up on oyster crackers and Welch's grape juice from communion. We must be the violent type.
