Wow![/quote]

Domestic? No. Terrorism by a Muslim foreigner against our US military, just as ISIS asked for? Yes.[/quote]

He is an American citizen with no known ties to ISIS.

Who's father is on the terror watch list. Who was not born here. Who shot up a military facility, just like ISIS suggested.

Sorry for the disappointing outcome. Perhaps you should work as hard to ban Muslim symbols here as you do American?[/quote]

His father was removed from the watch list and made a special police officer. I've never tried to ban any symbol. What Muslim symbol do you think should be banned?[/quote]

None. Just like I think the hoopla about the Confederate flag is just that - hoopla.

So what you are saying is that this guy, who kept a blog that referred to a hypothetical test that would 'separate the inhabitants of Paradise from the inhabitants of Hellfire.' and  also stated "We ask Allah ... to give us a complete understanding of the message of Islam, and the strength the [sic]live by this knowledge, and to know what role we need to play to establish Islam in the world," was simply a rogue nutter with no religious motive? He blogged this on Monday: "life is short and bitter" and Muslims should not miss an opportunity to "submit to Allah,"

Despite the fact that he chose a military recruiting facility to open fire upon?

This dude doesn't have to be formally linked to a terror group,  nor did Roof have to be formally linked to the KKK, to call this what it is.

As for his father? The average Muslim here is not 'at one time investigated for terror ties'.

I am absolutely not saying there was no religious motive. I'm saying that no ties to ISIS or any other terror group have been established. At this point we simply don't know his motive. Someone just posted a list of attacks on the military within the US. I notice that if the attacks were committed by a Muslim, they are considered terrorism (maybe not in that list, but generally) whereas in the cases of non-Muslims attackers the mental state of the perpetrator is blamed. Muslims apparently don't suffer from mental illness, but are simply terrorists. In the case of Dylann Roof, the judge went so far as to plead for sympathy for his family who the judge considered victims. In this case, you are ready to convict the perpetrator's father on the basis of an investigation that cleared him. But, of course there is no double standard.

The father is simply additional information. Were Muslim groups not calling for attacks on the military, I might be willing to engage your point. However, that's not the case.

I don't need an 'official' telling me why this man did what he did - especially since the top official, Obama, already whitewashed it, just like he did with Hasan at Ft. Hood.[/quote]
