#1 ...On the video, the Islamic battle cry of "Allah-hu Akbar" (God is great) is heard two times at 1:38-1:40 as the officer identifies himself. There appears to be a third one at 1:47.

What the hell the main stream mush brain liberal media thinking? Do they think these people don't want to kill them too? I don't get this silliness on the part of the media. They must want to be under someone's boot. Christ almighty, give these people a brain.

#2 There might be another one, via LGF:

At the University of Missouri-Rolla, a student is in custody after making terrorist threats: Student Arrested After Threat At UM-Rolla Campus. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)

CNN has already decided why he did it: Police: Depressed student said he had bomb, anthrax.

And no ones talking about whether hes a Buddhist, a Mennonite, or something else.

...

The CNN report includes this:

The mans identity and nationality were not released, though school spokesman Lance Feyh said he was an international student.

#3 Liberal Hawk...I appreciate your reticence, but does this sway you?

#4 nope.

From what I can gather, muslims say Allahu Akhbar whenever they think theyre about to die, regardless of the reasons. Think Sean O'Patrick, goes to rob a bank, the cops unexpectedly show up and start shooting at him. He says "Jesus, Mary and Joseph!" dont prove he was robbing the bank in the name of the above. This discussion came in the case of a muslim pilot on a plane that crashed, and the cockpit recorder got him saying "allahu Akhbar" and some dudes said, see, this was a suicidal act of terror. It may have been that, but the Allahu Akhbar aint proof. The expression is just far more pervasive in their culture then we realize, and isnt limited to acts of Jihad, AFAICT.

#5 Further, the Feds may be trying to keep the lid on it for good reasons. There's lots of whats going on that we don't know about and frankly don't need to know about.

If the MSM went into hysteria over a shopping center jihadi shooter the way they did over Anna Nicole, ever muzzie wacko would want to buy a ticket to Mexico City to prove he can shoot more infidels in their den of iniquity than the last guy. I'd rather they try to kill the Vice President at Bagram AFB.

#6 Never mind that he had them kneel down on the ground in a store which was selling the forbidden (by Islamics) Valentine's Day cards. Never mind that his mosque's leader was convicted of the tradition of Quranic wife beating. Never mind that not one single story like this covered by the FBI has ever seen the light of day.

Nimble, joke or head in the sand? Sorry I need coffee.

By the way liberalhawk I saw the video of that pilot's family when they were asked if he really had mental problems. Their eyes started twitching like kids caught with their hands in the cookie jar as they said, "no he was mentally sick". Bullshit.

Few if any Christians yell God is Great before they commit mass murder hawk.

Then their was the kid who converted down at some farm campus. He attended a mosque with known terrorist ties. When he couldn't get into the football stadium to blow up the crowd he bombed himself outside the stadium. The FBI found additional explosives in his apartment but still ruled it a suicide.

Right. In the mean time the clueless FBI is raiding a legit gun dealer's home in Minnesota. Bout as useless as tits on a tree.

#7 So what's the upside of getting the public hysterical?

#8 Think Sean O'Patrick, goes to rob a bank, the cops unexpectedly show up and start shooting at him. He says "Jesus, Mary and Joseph!" dont prove he was robbing the bank in the name of the above.

Why do I get the impression that if a Christian, who attended a fundamentalist church, went into a shopping mall and shouted, "Praise God" everytime he shot someone, that the media would be the first to make the connection and educate us all about the worldwide dangers of Christian fundamentalism.

#9 What's the upside of getting the public hysterical? Who knows, maybe some public-spirited citizens might start doing a few things to make the Muzzies in this country know the party is over and it's time to go back to their countries of ethnic origin--while they still can.

#10 The MSM would have a feeding frenzy if a fundamentalist Christian shot up a mall. It would be reported as a "Right-wing Christian" going amok in the mall. There would be a call for gun control.

The only reason I can think of that the lid is being kept on is what has already been mentioned, i.e. that maybe there is an investigation ongoing. The second reason is that people have just about had it and the Feds realize that--they don't won't muzzies getting shot up indiscriminately.

#11 Third reason, lots of Clinton era middle management left in the FBI.
Fourth reason, the Saudis are getting value for the millions of dollars they have lavished on various Federal officials.
Fifth reason, the FBI brass is kowtowing to CAIR.

#12 I do not want to be a racist, or thought of as one, but if someone comes towards me or mine with a gun shouting "Allah-hu Akbar", I will take it as a death threat and react violently.

#13 #12 - That ain't racism, honey - that's survival.

Racism would be if you would "take it as a death threat and react violently" only if the ~~murdering scum~~ attacker were of a different race from you.

(Which presumes that you wouldn't react if the attacker were the same race as you - which strikes me as one of the more STUPID implied positions of the Lefties. But then they're the real racists, so why would I be surprised?)

Then their was the kid who converted down at some farm campus. He attended a mosque with known terrorist ties. When he couldn't get into the football stadium to blow up the crowd he bombed himself outside the stadium.

I figure that guy either never intended to get into the stadium or had the buses as a fallback. In college I went to a basketball game with my girlfriend -- at a college where basketball is the ONLY major sport. After the game there was a crush of people trying to get on the buses back to campus; my girlfriend was only 5' tall, and had I not blocked the crowd and held her up, she almost certainly would have gotten hurt.

A suicide bomber in the middle of a crowd like that would be horrific. Between the blast and the following stampede, easily dozens would die.

On the cries of "allahu akbar" in the video; Charles thinks that's not true:

No way. I made my living by listening closely to recorded sounds and music for many years, and Id bet big money that the allahu akbar chant is not on that tape. Theres a very characteristic sing-song quality to the chant, that you can hear even in last-minute suicide bomber tapes, and I do not hear that at all in the SLC video.

Not there. Nope.

I haven't spent the time to listen closely to the video, but I trust Charles.

University of Oklahoma at Norman, Rob. That's Oklahoma City, not exactly out in the sticks. My brother professes there, and gave us links to the school paper and local news sources at the time. The bomber was stopped at the stadium gates by security, so he went to the bus stop to wait for the exitting crowds. As I recall, he and his little friends (roommates? I don't recall exactly) had whipped up a batch of that terriblyly unstable bathtub explosive, and it went critical before he was quite ready. Quite a mess greeted the kids when they came out, apparently.

#16 TW, that was a quote from Icerigger. I couldn't remember the exact university, and I'm not in the position to call ANY university "the sticks", so...

#17 My apologies, Rob. Clearly I'm more tired than I realized.
