A terrorist attack carried out by a radical Islamist took place on the weekend and then another Islamist group executed a Canadian, but hey, let’s talk about gun control, or Donald Trump or anything but radical Islam.
Brian bursts the many bubbles around the Orlando attack plus tackles why this isn’t about gun control with Faith Goldy, chats with intelligence analyst Phil Gurski and even takes a pause to discuss the F-35 with fighter pilot Billie Flynn.

What is “radical Islam”? This story is about a devout Muslim actually doing what their Prophet has done, recorded, advocated and enshrined into a retrograde theocracy that has been struggling to force all humanity into submission to since the seventh century. It’s really not very complicated.
But of course most Muslims are peaceful and would not condone such an attack in the name of their religion.
Al Jazeera Readers Celebrate Orlando Terror Attack
In the aftermath of the Orlando terror attack that left more than 50 people dead, Al Jazeera’s Arabic-language Facebook page was flooded with comments celebrating Omar Mateen as a hero for carrying out the attack.
The comments were first pointed out by Iraqi-born human rights activist Faisal Saeed AlMutar, who tweeted: “Go to Al Jazeera Arabic Facebook page and read the comments about the #Orlando attacks and you will see 1000s of people celebrating. #qatar.”
Yes, apparently is wasn’t Islam that motivated the killer, this was just a case of workplace violence (it’s reported he felt harassed at work) and mental instability. All the usual excuses are being trotted out. I guess his 911 call explaining his motivations isn’t enough for the police to figure out his motivations, which they’re still trying to understand.
In other words, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be a hippopotamus.
Whatever happened to means, motive, and opportunity?
What would Mohammad do?
you are right John it is not complicated. the tiny minds that think it is will continue to be a problem.
Ok, enough with the loutish liberal PC crap. It’s killing people. It’s not “Radical Islam”, it’s “Islam”. We don’t speak of religious adherence as “radical” or “moderate”. We use terms like “devout” or “fervent”, or “practising” or “not practising”.
And he was not an “Islamist”. He was a Muslim. ALL Muslims are “Islamists”. Their religion demands it. Their religious doctrine provides no room for “moderates”. A Muslim who does not adhere to the strict tenets of Islam is at risk, just like the infidels. Muslims need to be told – if you wish a place at the table of western civilization, fix your religion.
There’s only one choice for US voters if they want to do something about the radical factions of Islam who are all about killing and terrorizing. Donald Trump has it right and is spelling it out clearly. A place to start is to slam the gates shut to immigration from Middle East countries that foster terrorism. If politicians can’t speak the blunt truth they can’t solve the problem. More immigration from Islamic countries adds to their numbers and there is strength in numbers. North America is still flooding them in, it needs to stop. The commonest of common sense would tell anyone with a functioning brain we need to stop adding to their numbers with immigration and go after the snakes where they breed.
Canada needs to wake up as well, we need to be concerned, we are not in good hands.
The Orlando terrorist’s father is quoted as saying “it is up to God to punish homosexuality”.
A foreign Inman who recently visited the Orlando area said that it would be better if homosexuals were killed now rather than wait for God’s judgement.
Wow.
And on the local noon CBC radio show all the useful idiots were calling in to talk about the availabilty and the kind of gun that was used to murder 50 people.
Exactly and well said. Concise and to the point.
Milo Yianopoulos has correctly identified the problem … mainstream Islam
http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2016/06/13/milo-yianopoulos-islam-is-the-problem/
100 million Muslims, worldwide, live in Muslim countries where homosexuality is punishable by DEATH. This isn’t “radical” or “extremist” Islam. It is “mainstream” Islam that wants to KILL most everyone in the decadent West
I see now that the left is now blaming the mass murderer’s gayness for his killing spree which helps clarify it protection priorities with islam being the most protected.
You listen to the CBC? Eeyoo – it’s bad enough to have to read or look at it…
The only things worthwhile about the CBC now are the Saturday afternoon opera broadcasts on Radio 2, though I listen to the “Quirks and Quarks” podcasts and, once in a while, those for “Ideas”.
!. The 3 hours that the police needed to respond was in itself a hate crime, those that were shot bleed-out in ~ 1 1/2 hours. The Police policies & procedures are NOT effective in preventing a slaughter… They seem better at postmortem tasks & evidence gathering…In Baltimore the Mayer told the police to stand-down & let the city Burn…Did that happen in Orlando.. 3 hours is obscene under the circumstances
2. The initial gunfire exchange with a police officer, who was obviously not an effective marksman…..Why do police carry a weapon if they can’t hit a barn door? The use of social organizers as Police security is not wise, better they carry a wet noddle, instead of a gun.. Proficiency with a firearm “must” be requirement of ALL police
3 The Family of the Radical Islamic terrorist MUST be stripped of Citizenship and deported in SHAME….Shaming ones family will prevent the Terrorist from getting his promised Virgins. The whole family including uncles ETC.. There must be absolute consequences to terrorism….Work place violence was a huge Obama mistake that only feed lawyers pockets and made it seem like an acceptable behavior. Enough already
The Obama era of protecting radical Muslim terrorism must end…The FBI purged of PC assholes who are not engaged in investigating Muslim’s properly…We are at War..SucK it up and be prepared to eliminate all Muslim countries that support & encourage Terrorism.
JMHO
It’s not a habit but when something is in the news I like to check the ‘far out in left field’ take on things just to see what the bastards who wish me harm are thinking.
As more evidence comes out about Omar,it seems he is and has been gay for years, was a regular at that club,and recently experienced a religious conversion.
Now a fellow classmate at the police academy says he and Omar dated and went to gay clubs to ?
So, a mentally ill gay/registered Democrat/Muslim went batshit crazy out of guilt over his sexual preferences,slaughtered a bunch of people, and the Christian right and gun owners are supposed to take responsibility?
Have I got that right?
@Don:
To answer your question “Have I got that right?” – YUP!
