And the authorities try to placate us with lies

Of course there are no moderate Muslims, anywhere. The news out of San Francisco this morning was that a man ran people down with his SUV. It wasn't until much later in the story that the truth was revealed -- he is a Muslim. It gets better, though. While witnesses report the Muslim individual having said that he was a terrorist, the San Francisco police spokesman proclaimed that there was no connection to terrorism. Really?

The police in Seattle, Washington proclaimed the same thing last month when a Muslim man shot up a Jewish community center. This, despite the Muslim's admission. Even worse, perhaps, than the lying officials is that the police in Seattle used the opportunity to beef up security at mosques!
