Call a spade a spade already

So, the murderer outside the recruiting office in Arkansas had "political and religious motives"? What a crock of shit. The guy was under investigation already for travel to Yemen and studying Jihad while over there and traveling on a Somali passport. He was a recent convert to Islam. Why can't the press accurately title this "Muslim convert attacks recruiting office ". Why is it that the "religion of peace" can't be named as the cause of this guys "political and religious motives"?
This politically correct BS has got to stop.

A Muslim killed American Soldiers on American soil!

UPDATE:
So the later stories have identified the Muslim Terrorist as such. It took a while for them to get to that point though. Still, that fact that the FBI has been investigating this guy and his past travels and arrest shows he was a threat and should have been dealt with already.

  1. that fact that the FBI has been investigating this guy and his past travels and arrest shows he was a threat and should have been dealt with already. We need to be careful about that one. It comes dangerously close to supporting the concept that merely being suspected of criminal activity is enough to deny one's constitutional rights.

    It's a very short leap of the imagination to jump from your statement to supporting the idea that people who's names show up on "no-fly" or FBI watch lists should be listed on NICS and denied the right to purchase firearms.

    If the FBI was investigating you based on the recent DOJ memo on domestic terrorism and in light of your posts on this blog, would you be OK with having your rights infringed as a result?

  2. Excellent point. Where I got into that particular spat was the fact that he had been picked up with a fake Somali passport and his travels to study Jihad.
    Jump, Skip, Leap and you have guilt. At least in my mind while I was typing.
