Why didn't this Islamic nutball go back to Lebanon to kill Israelis?

Because the GOP has shut down TSA, flights, and run the cost of airline tickets through the roof, so this was easier?

I agree it was easier. Last time I checked, every Republifascist has voted to reopen it multiple times. The Commucrats are the ones keeping it shut down.

The answer is ... he didn't.

But the real question in my mind is... why didn't the US counter-terrorism team smoke him out before he did this?

Oh wait ...

Trump Administration Pulls Plug on Domestic Terrorism Tracking and Analysis Project (March 2025)
www.asisonline.org

... The Global Terrorism Database's Terrorism and Targeted Violence (T2V) in the United States project is an open-source database that contains information on thousands of domestic terrorist attacks that have occurred in the nation. It includes data on a range of attacks, including targeted attacks, such as workplace violence, school shootings, hate crimes, attacks on critical infrastructure, and more.

It was an invaluable resource for law enforcement, researchers, security practitioners, and policymakers until Tuesday, 25 March. That's when the Trump Administration pulled its funding"roughly $3 million, according to The Washington Post"and the site was taken down.

The database was led by the University of Maryland (UMD), which also runs the Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START)"a university-based research and education center.

The Post reported that it reviewed an email from the Department of Homeland Security, which told email recipients that "the scope of work performed under this award no longer effectuates Department priorities." No specific details were provided in the email. ...

He had two brothers, a niece and a nephew, both children, killed by Israel.

"A local official in Mashgharah, in central Lebanon, told the Associated Press on Friday that Ghazali's two brothers and a niece and nephew were killed at their home in the 5 March airstrike just after sunset as they were having their fast-breaking meal during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

The official said that Kassim Ghazali was a well-known soccer coach and personal trainer while Ibrahim was a school bus driver in the village."

"Put your sword back in its place, for all who draw the sword will die by the sword" Gospel of Matthew, verse 26:52 is New Testament.

"life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe." Exodus (Torah) 21:23-25 - meant to prevent excessive revenge, overpunishment. a simple and obvious message Israel completely ignores.

I suppose you're right in that "Repubifacsist" have voted to "reopen it" as long as ICE can remain the American Gestapo.

So? I had relatives killed by the Japanese. You don't see Chinese people blowing up Japanese do you? Or Vietnamese running around the US killing US veterans do you?

Its just so stupid to fall for this dumb excuse. But lets say its legitimate, shouldn't America kick out everyone with these Tribal instincts?

America is too tolerant.

Israel never stops being violent.

So this justifies the killing of Americans? I recall Snoofy claiming Iran government doesn't have a problem with Jews, only Israel.

Clearly you and Snoofy should discuss your conflict, and try not to kill each other.

Why does that matter? from the time hostilities ended to today, can you give me one instance where it happened?

No you cant.

Using your logic ....

If a WHITE fathers whose daughter was killed by some BLACK man in a different state, so he went out and shot up a church of BLACK Americans you'd just call it "blowback".

That was then (if it is even true), but this thread is now.

Trolling?

You can't even answer a simple question.

I dont see any 9/11 victims running around bombing mosques. Would that have been OK?

What that be a valid reason to bomb a mosque? That you lost family members in 9/11?

Israel is Making Jews a target Worldwide.

Why isn't 31,000 Islam terror attacks making Muslims a worldwide target?

This is such a stupid defense in a modern world, you'd have to have a 3rd grade understanding of the world to think this is a legitimate position..

Because you did not look hard enough commie Spyboy.

And because some Americans can't tell the difference between Muslims and Sikhs.

Although Sikhs are no strangers to discrimination, there was a noticeable uptick in incidents following the September 11 attacks as Sikhs became targets of xenophobic violence based on perceived similarities in the visible identity of Sikhs and "terrorists." Specifically, the Sikh dastaar and kesh were conflated with the keffiyeh and beard maintained by Osama bin Laden and members of al-Qaeda and the Taliban.

There are plenty of examples of violence against Muslims. For instance, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee reported over 500 violent incidents directed against Muslims and those perceived to be Muslim in the two months following September 11.

Name one Mosque that was targeted by a citizen, or a government?
You can't, your brain is fried.

The US didn't attack any of those countries because they were Muslim, they attacked because they were assholes.

If you're argument is that all muslims are part of an army, you're making the argument for kicking every Muslim out of the US or for that matter any other free country.

And if that is your argument, at least your argument would be the truth.

Remember the "Ground Zero Mosque"?

Republicans lost their minds.

Fact is, republicans don't wait until a mosque is built before attacking it.

They show up to city council meetings and form mobs to threaten council members should a mosque be built in their community.

Islamophobia is very much part of the conservative ideology.

Mamdani being a major target currently.
