Here we go yet again: after every massacre comes the reassertion of the narrative. Natalia V. Navarro of Colorado Public Radio (CPR)
reported Friday that “fear of religious-based backlash after the mass
shooting in Boulder on Monday has forced the city’s Muslim community
center to take security precautions, including temporarily suspending
daily prayer services.” This is how this narrative, which we see after
every jihad massacre, works. When Muslims murder infidels, Muslims are
the victims.
CPR reported that Tracy Smith of the Islamic Center of Boulder said
at a Boulder city council meeting: “The person who murdered 10 people at
King Soopers in Boulder does not represent the Muslim community. He
doesn’t represent Islam. He just happens to have a Muslim name.”
Well, maybe, but the idea that he didn’t act in the name of jihad and
Islam is actually unproven as yet. Nonetheless, CPR runs with Tracy
Smith’s statement as if it were fact, adding: “The alleged shooter’s
name, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, has stirred anti-Muslim sentiments in the
community, Smith said.”
His name is actually Ahmad Al Aliwi Al Issa, not Alissa. That’s how he himself wrote his
name on his Facebook. The establishment media’s constant use of
“Alissa” appears to be an attempt to obscure the shooter’s Muslim
identity. Also, note that no evidence is whatsoever is offered for these alleged “anti-Muslim sentiments” in Boulder.
The CPR story continues: “It’s unknown whether Alissa practices any religion and no evidence he practices Islam specifically.”
Is Navarro (or Smith, who may be CPR’s source for this claim) lying
outright, or misinformed? On Al Issa’s now-deleted Facebook page, he posted a
graphic containing this quotation: “‘O people, listen to me in earnest,
worship Allah, say your five daily prayers (Salah), fast during the
month of Ramadan, and give your wealth in Zakat. Perform Hajj if you can
afford to.’ The Last Sermon of Prophet Muhammad.”
Have you ever known of a non-Muslim or non-religious person to post
quotes from Muhammad calling on people to worship Allah? Maybe Tracy
Smith or Natalia V. Navarro could give us a few examples. There is more.
