It’s a mystery.
When 3 Muslim men were shot in Burlington, VT, everyone rushed to call it “Islamophobia” without a single shred of evidence. The media has spent months regaling us with the false claim that the shooter hated Muslims, when he actually loved Muslims and supported Hamas.
But an El Salvadoran migrant who had posed in a hijab, had antisemitic materials, and opened fire in a pro-Israel church with a rifle that had “Palestine” written on it is an enigmatic mystery. As Obama used to say after every Muslim terrorist attack, “let’s not jump to any conclusions.” Those are reserved for when Muslims get shot.
The sentiment will eventually settle on mental illness.
Fine, Jeffrey/Genesse Moreno was no doubt nuttier than an entire bakery of fruitcakes. Then again the Burlington shooter, James J. Eaton, had a history of mental instability, which didn’t stop the media and politicians from ignoring those things and blaming Islamophobia.
Two things can be true at the same time. Someone can be bonkers and a bigot. Moreno probably became fixated on paranoid fantasies around the Lakewood Church which she wove together with Israel, Jews and who knows what else. (Spend 5 minutes in the seamier corners of Twitter or the regular corners of Gab and this stuff ain’t hard to find.) And she still made certain decisions. Including the decision to try and kill a bunch of people.
Politicians and the media have their double standards. And this double standard is once again on display.
The conclusions that are ‘jumped to’ are the politically convenient ones and those that are avoided are politically inconvenient. Moreno’s shooting is politically inconvenient so we must not jump to any conclusions.

Islamaphobia is where a country has no wish to become an Islamic Caliphate living under Islamic law.
As a Christian myself living in the UK a Christian country for 1000s of years I have no wish to submit to Islam or be beheaded by Islam.
A violent ideology which needs removing from western countries for the national security of host nations

The West’s only hope at this point if for the people to arm up…. It’s coming

Si vis pacem para bellum! I’m only quoting the NATO. I mean Trump, eh, I mean, oh, whatever, you know what I mean. I mean: you know who I mean. Well….

CONFIRMED. This shooter was a trannie… Psychotic in one part of your life and you can expect insantiy to bleed over to others.

@Mr. Greenfield: It’s simple. The shooter meant Palestine Texas. 😉

No, no can’t spell: Palatine IL

I have been to Palestine, Texas. It’s a nice place. Or was, when I was there some years ago. No hamas thugs ordering people about and shooting those who resist.

Mental illness is being encouraged.
Some years ago, I watched a program about what was once called Multiple Personality Disorder, which is now labeled Disassociative Identity Disorder.
One of the patients…a young girl….told the doctor, “I’m a boy.” She didn’t mean the original person, the one before the trauma which led to the mental problems was a “boy,” but a part of her identified as a boy.
This “boy” may not have known that the dominant personality was born a girl; “he” may not have known “she” existed. She may not have known he did.
The doctors who were in the program explained that no one really knows the full workings of what makes some people react to terrible traumas by creating other “personalities” in order to survive.
Now, we have evil people…individuals and groups…encouraging little kids to believe they are something that they are not. “fluid genders” and “questioning” and all manner of other designations in order to confuse and complicate the lives of others.
These “evil” ones are creating unhappy, miserable, monsters out of vulnerable individuals.
Florida has laws now about the whole “gender” stuff and that it cannot be taught in schools before the kids reach 9th grade.
However, the school board in Alachua County has decided that a book, formerly named “George” but now “Melissa” is something that belongs in elementary school….so the kids whose parents can’t afford to buy the book from Amazon (one board member used that argument) can still read about a little boy who is being encouraged to think he’s a girl, to have a boyfriend, to play the part of “Charolotte” in the Web story, etc. and to talk to himself about his private parts and other nauseating stuff.
Combine this evil with the evil of supporting the ghouls of hamas, iran, houthis, erdogan, etc. and what can we expect?
How many Jeffrey/Genesse Moreno’s are the schools turning out?
WPM says
People who are mental ill are encourage to feed their dilutions and fantasies now instead of facing hard reality. It does not end well for the mental ill person or society at large to do this ,feeding them “sex changing drugs ” only enhances mood swings and makes them more unbalanced in my humble opinion.. Suicide for” trans-people” who try to change their gender is many times higher then for people who have this mental illness who don’t change .their gender thru drugs and surgery. The woke thinking and policies is only going to increase these violent actions performed by these mental ill people.
SKA says
I am willing to entertain the hypothesis that being radically evil can lead to insanity but I reject utterly the “psychological defense” that people do evil things only because (poor dears!) they just “happened” to develop a mental illness. This is the biggest and most dishonest “get out of jail card” ever. Humans have intellect, will and free agency: when they chose to believe evil things and choose to commit evil they are not suffering from some exculpatory diminished capacity. The police and judicial authorities leaping to embrace state-of-mind excuses for criminal behavior are merely derelict in performing their duties.
James Lincoln says
SKA,
To your point, the vast majority of non-muslims with mental illness are not particularly dangerous toward others.
WPM says
True ,the ones that are dangerous give off many signs before they act. This one was reported by his her its neighbors that she he it was dangerous and nothing was done by the authorities ..

The Uni-party crooks must protect their Crime Syndicate turf, zombies, shadiness, and all their crimes; and calling out those that severe their ‘interest’s’ IS NOT ever going to happen- even when the zombies attack some of them. Just wait, when the bribe-taking plagiarist passes out of God’s world, what President in Crookedness Harris does. And just wait when BRICs dethrones the US Dollar as the world’s currency; what does anyone think 30-40 million illegals do for revenge.
