When I first saw the CNN coverage of the Munich massacre this afternoon, I noticed that the broadcasters went out of their way, with exactly zero evidence, to suggest that the killer might have been a right wing extremist, not a Jihadist.
Tonight's CNN story has this buried after the tenth paragraph:
A witness who will only be identified as Lauretta told CNN her son was in a bathroom with a shooter at the restaurant.
"That's where he loaded his weapon," she said. "I hear like an alarm and boom, boom, boom... And he's still killing the children. The children were sitting to eat. They can't run."Lauretta said she heard the gunman say, "Allahu Akbar," or God is great. "I know this because I'm Muslim. I hear this and I only cry."
Still, at least the network was honest enough to report:
Many children were among the casualties. Police said 16 people remain hospitalized.
The shooting comes as recent terror attacks have put Europe on high alert.This week, a teenager who said he was inspired by ISIS stabbed passengers on a German train before police shot him dead. Only eight days earlier, 84 people were killed when a man drove a large truck through a Bastille Day crowd in Nice, France.
If Donald Trump wins the election, those who will be most frantic might want to reconsider their years of complacent, tongue-clucking-and-teddy-bears "plan" for confronting Jihad.
What exactly was the Trump plan for fighting jihad again? Must have missed that in the speech last night. I heard the part about beating ISIS so easily, so quickly that it'll blow your mind (believe me), but I didn't hear the part about how. -Jim
I did not see any part of Trump's speech, and watched almost none of the convention. So you'd have to look on his website.
Of course he could always adopt Loretta Lynch's plan of peace and love.

Allah Akbar =
While I lived across the hall from an Arabic-speaking Lebanese lady
named Martha, many of her family came to visit one time. They had
me over to thank me for being kind to her and spending time with her
-- she was the kind one though, cooking wonderful food for me and
smiling a lot since we couldn't rightly communicate.
Her brother did speak English and told me that they were Christians.
I had researched some Arabic (pre-Internet era) so I ignorantly said,
"Oh, Allah Akbar, that means God is Great, right?" He responded with
'no, no, we don't say that, because of the meaning the Muslims give it.'
I asked what that was and he said 'we are going to murder for Allah'.
That was 1995, a long time ago, but for a religion living like it's 622 AD,
not so much changes.
