Gosh, why don't they quote what he was actually screaming while committing murder, which was "Allahu Akbar!"?

It's not like the NY Times was simply translating. They were whitewashing. They guy was a Turk. So if he was screaming "allahu akbar" in Arabic, he had an explicit point to his use of Arabic, no?

His point was that he was committing murder in the name of Islam.

But the NY Times wants to downplay that fact.

changing the language

the direction of the narrative is to never say "islamic terrorism"

What other kind is there in that region ? (not to mention the rest of the world - especially if it's religious). What other kind of religious terrorism is there ? I've never heard any other type of religious terrorism. If they said glory be to god as they killed people, that's Islamic terrorism. Even the idiots that don't know where France is, know this.

Maybe the issue is that you guys assume others are as stupid as you ?

I just can't fathom the stupidity. It doesn't mean I'm triggered.

That is most terrorists in 2016 western society are in fact fanatical muslim islamic assholes.

My point exactly. And this wasn't even in the west, it was in Turkey, a Muslim country. And they said "glory be to god" as they killed people."

After 9/11 (and more than a decade of AlQueda BS before that) , do any of you seriously think there is one single American that would read this story and not fully understand that we're talking about an Islamic terrorist or Jihadist ? Is there even one American that thinks there is a one in one thousand chance that this was not Islamic terrorism ?

MY guess is you think "yes, marcus, we know that everybody knows. But don't you see ?! THEY NEED TO SAY IT !!" "Because don't you understand - yes everyone knows, but if they don't say it - it means they are implying that what everyone knows with total and extreme certainty to be true is not true."
