Time to wake up

I was reading a news article yesterday about a motorist in San Francisco who went on a hit-and-run spree that involved trying to run over pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists for a full hour. He injured 14 and killed 1. Press accounts centered on alleged mental illness and left out the fact that he was Muslim from Afghanistan who seemed calm, coherent and unrepentant when he was finally captured. The Jewish Community Center was a few blocks from where the rampage ended. Is this an isolated incident? Let's see.
A few months ago, a Muslim immigrant from Pakistan went on a shooting spree in a Seattle Jewish Center. The press ignored his stated religious motive (" I am a Muslim-American; I'm angry at Israel"). Again he was declared to have a history of mental illness.
In North Carolina last Spring at the University in Chapel Hill, another angry Muslim lashed out at infidels by hitting 9 people with a SUV he rented for the purpose. He was an Iranian who said he wanted to punish the U.S. for its actions around the world. The media played down the obvious angle as BestView pointed out at the time.
The Beltway snipers in Maryland were Muslim converts who stated their objective was to "terrorize" Washington. The news outlets at the time chose to ignore the fact that the leader's name had been changed to John Muhammed and instead used his previous name of John Allen Williams. Look it up.
Finally, there was the Muslim immigrant from Egypt who shot two at Israel's El Al ticket counter at LAX and the media were completely incapable to call it a terrorist attack. The FBI even demurred in that regard.
Soon we will have one which even the politically correct press will have to admit is a terrorist attack and the liberals will echo the current mantra of the Democrats that Bush has not done enough to protect America.
