I see why black has never seen a muslim leader offer condolences and condemn the behavior of terrorists.

He keeps changing the channel "just" when it happens.

Peoples reaction is all too predictable. Politicians clamour for attention. Victims are mourned. Blame is shared. Everyone utters nonsensical musings to satisfy themselves and their respective audience. What is lost is forever gone.
The lives impacted tragically cannot be restored. The suffering will perpetuate itself until the victims are consumed by it.

What does "our thoughts and prayers are with the victims" means? How can I think of you when I don't know who you are? What prayers can I utter on your behalf when you are gone, no longer here to hear my nonsensical utterances???

And what do I accomplish by rationalizing the irrational?

This world is full of sick people. And some folks don't deserve to. be in a civil society. There are references to the British involvement in Syria? An apparent attempt to justify this act That is absolute hogwash. This turd did what he did because he wanted to do this and because he could do it, he did it Simple really.

What is your point in all of this?

Who defended Muslims when Trump wanted to block them from entering the Country?

I will say again, my problem is only with terrorists and the people that support them.

What else can the leader say? With public sentiments running high, he can only tow the line.

We put too much into leaders and speeches. They are public consumption gaffes.

The immigrant community will be further ostracized, scrutinized and criminalized.

Now his family is being investigated, and it would be difficult, if not impossible, for the family to not know what this nut was up to.

At 22 he should have been completing his studies, having a girl or two and enjoying life. How stupid can you be???? All in the name of hate?

Point? That is for long-winded posters with names in all caps. Why must everything have a point?

You posed a question around the France incident asking why don't Muslim leaders speak out against these actions. You said you have not seen a single one do such.

Now people often exaggerate for emphasis but in this case you were driving a point home about terrorism being a part of the Muslim doctrine so you quite literally meant you never saw a single one.

So no there is no point. Just enlightenment. Hopefully you watched CNN or YouTube or whatever and saw a Muslim leader for the first time of your life speak out against Islamic terrorism. If you did choose not to watch then maybe that is why you never saw it.

Can't see much with your head buried in the sand.

Surely you are not advocating infidelity.
