Details are beginning to emerge about a shooting that occurred within the past hour-and-a-half at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle. There has been one confirmed fatality and at least one arrest. Although little is known about motive, talk has already turned to a connection with the violence currently occurring in the Middle East.
“Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle Vice President Amy Wasser-Simpson told the Seattle Times in a story on its Web site that a man got through security at the building and shouted, “I’m a Muslim American; I’m angry at Israel,” then began shooting.”
Perhaps what is needed is Christiaria - the Love of Christ and the Compassion of Allah …
For those who are Muslim and commit the crime of killing, then Christaria can invoke hadh - limitation - and the killer is himself killed … that would be in agreement with the Compassion of Allah …
Mad Max - Charles said nothing about “the extermination of all 1 billion Muslims? “ .. *you*, on the other hand, seem to have such things amongst *your* first thoughts … take the time to read through the entire Koran - and you will find that Charles’ analysis doesn’t exaggerate much … when everyone submits to the Will of Allah, all will be peaceful …
I have a real problem with people lumping all Muslims in with a handful of crazies who use a twisted interpretation of Islam to justify mass murder. It would be like me saying Andrew should be jailed because all Christians believe in blowing up abortion clinics and burning crosses.
Despite your warped view of me as some America-hating Islamist, the truth is I just don’t like seeing ignorance in action, whether it comes from some guy blowing himself up in Haifa or some idiot on a blog blaming all Muslims for the act of one moron in Seattle.
In the past few years, what groups have been responsible for terrorism around the planet, of the type launched against purely civilian targets ?
I’ll start the list …
Muslims … and … ?
You add all the others in, please …
…
{sounds of crickets, chirping}
…
There is a major linguistic difference between “Recently, ALL Muslims seem to be terrorists” and “Recently, ONLY Muslims seem to be terrorists” … and, of course, the relevant “Recently, all terrorists seem to be Muslims” …
A big problem seems to be a lack of a Reformation for Islam - and hence no Teaching Tales to moderate the Jihadists … “Islam views the world as divided between the House of Peace (Dar es Salaam), which is Islamic, and the House of War (Dar el-Harb), which is non-Islamic. World peace, according to Islam, is achieved only when the world is subjected to Dar es Salaam.” … that is the current playbook for Islam …

If this is true, the guy is a fucking idiot.

Because really, if you have a problem with Israeli military in Lebanon, your best bet is to shoot at random Jews in Seattle.

Nobody negotiated with him!?!?!?!?!
Seattle…hang your head in shame.
July 29th, 2006 at 9:15:48 am
WAIT! You did negotiate with him and it ended wonderfully and peacefully. With another Islamic man comfortably in jail and a dead Jewish person.
There, Seattle. Don’t you just feel better.
All Islam wants to do is kill or convert everyone and be treated like Royalty. Just sumbit and it will all be peaceful…

Charles-
So what you are advocating is the extermination of all 1 billion Muslims? Is that what I get from your remarks?

Maybe we should send Mel Gibson to GITMO because he doesn’t like Jews.
