That's not how it works. This only applies when someone shouts Allahu Akbar before shooting up a theatre. We cannot possibly know their motivations.

If it's violence towards known liberals, we know it's inevitably a right-wing nutbag.

Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

While I must concede that some on the left are too conciliatory toward Islamists, I don't think it is at all accurate to say that the left enables Islamist terrorism.

No, its that the latter presupposes a ridiculous assertion in the former.

Given the sheer number of bombs placed and the specific targets, we reallu can draw one of two conclusions:


1. These bombs were placed by a right wing nutbag who has boughr the conspiracy theory nonsense being tossed around.

2. This is a massive false-flag October surprise operation that involves a deep undercover secret cabal of Soros funded agents.


As for the previous ridiculous assertion, when a singular event happens and no indication of motive is prese t yet, it is ridiculous to claim Islamic motives until more is known. The mindfuck that happened at T_D, and subsequent conspiracy theories that grew oit of jt, after Las Vegas ended up *not* being an Islamic attack is a great example of this.


The fact you can't see the difference in situations is telling. It has to do with context. One involves multiple targets that are all suspiciously common targets of Conservatice disdain.


The other involves blaming something when there is zero motivational evidence yet present.

After seeing the sheer number of them sent out, its either one person or a group ofnpeople working together. I doubt these are copy cats, as it would take more than a few hpurs to get them built and shipped.

You don't think arming the mujahideen, as well as the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, had something to do with that? What about the billions in aid and arms deals to the Saudis, who are the #1 exporter of radical islam in the ME? Neither side has been "tough" on extremism. Indeed, they seem to love creating terror threats.

You can only honestly say that if you're being deliberately obtuse about American political history. Besides committing the majority of recent attacks, the right-wing Tea Party openly talked about revolt and "second amendment solutions" when Obama was president, a right-wing nut shot Gabby Giffords, a right-wing militia illegally occupied that nature reserve, and now some right-wing cunt is doing this. There has been political violence from the left, obviously, but to try and claim this isn't overwhelmingly a right-wing problem is ridiculous.

One side absolutely is more to blame and it isn't leftists.

As in the Soros thread, it's sad to see people so sure that it's a right wing nutbag based on nothing more than who the targets are. While I admit it's probable, there are other possibilities, too. A disaffected Democrat, foreign agents seeking to sow division, Islamic terrorists, and so on.

That's fair. Still, two days is long enough to assemble a bomb (provided you already have the knowledge and at least some of the supplies) and the similarity of the devices doesn't necessarily mean they're from the same source.
