The story says we still don't know who is responsible. SO why is the thread titled MUSLIM rampage in Paris? Where are the folks claiming we ought to reserve judgment until we get the rest of the details?:rolleyes:

Get off your moral high-horse zaac. It is getting old! Terrorists did this, they are all in bed with one another! Kill one terrorist and you take a bite out of all terrorism!

Although they are denying it, angry Quakers did it.

Come on, grab a clue Zaac.

We don't often agree, but we do on this issue! I would share a foxhole with you any day! Zaac is another story, I am not sure I'd want to be in the same country with him if war broke out! Roflmao

Suicide bombers? You're right. Maybe it wasn't muslims. Maybe it was the work of middle-aged Swedish nuns.

ISIS has now claimed responsibility.

Well I'm here. I haven't rushed to assume that the refugees - who are fleeing this exact type of violence - are the perpetrators.

I've seen a lot of posts over the last few weeks that allegedly show how awful the refugees are, but that doesn't jibe with the stories from friends who are actively working with the plight of the refugees. Whenever you have that large of a group of people, you're always going to find some terrible persons. But the right-wing media and bloggers seem determined to judge all refugees by the actions/attitudes of a few. Moreover, I'm not even sure if the stories are accurate, since there seems to be such a bias in the reporting. Since the left has been so biased in their news reporting over the years, it seems like the right wing believe it is okay to do the same thing to "balance" the news.

My friends on ground (more than one, in two different areas doing different things) tell completely different stories - actually, they don't get to say that much because they are so busy.

Obama really couldn't care less. He didn't even want to say it was muslims who did it, same with the PM of Paris. It's never talked about like it should be on mainstream media.

Alright, next time some cop kills an unarmed black person I'm gonna ask those of you quaking about "reserving judgment" to do the same.Thumbsup Because apparently it only applies to situations that fit a certain narrative. Otherwise, it's a free-for-all jump to conclusions.

Well, I guess the next time I read a breaking news story that specifically mentions the perpetrators hollering "Allahu Akbar!" I won't rush to judgement.

Again. READING IS FUNDAMENTAL. Where did I say anything about terrorists not doing this? Connect the dots.;)

So people were denying the cops were cops?

I've seen one person's "testimony" that someone yelled that. Every other story says still developing. So it's okay to jump to conclusions because someone says someone yelled "Allahu Akbar". But let an officer shoot a fleeing , unarmed man in the back or gun down a child with a toy gun and "we just need to wait because we don't know the full story". Oh the subjectiveness of when we are to reserve judgment.:rolleyes:

At the time, had someone claimed responsibility so that he could say that it was Muslims who did it?

Is that what you read in my post because I certainly don't see that.
You made a comparison between cops and Muslim terrorists. Are we reserving judgement on their actions, or their identity? Because there is a pretty big difference.

Thanks BB. I saw that earlier. I think everyone expected them to claim responsibility even if it wasn't them. ISIS is the terrorist du jour. Before this past year, Al Qaeda would have probably claimed responsibility. Even if it wasn't them, that's what everyone would have probably been saying.

I've been over to a few of the refugee camps to help out. And we have an area here in Atlanta that a lot of refugees settle. for the most part, these people are trying to get away from the very things a lot of folks are trying to make them responsible for.

Nope. I made a comparison between reserving judgment and waiting to get ALL the details when a cop shoots an unarmed person and not reserving judgment and not waiting to get ALL the details when folks think Muslims are responsible for something.
