If you only read the news as reported by the Main Stream Media, you would never know that we had just recently experienced another Jihad style attack by a Muslim on American soil.
On Monday, Feb. 12th, one time Bosnian refugee Sulejmen Talovic (age 18) walked into the Trolley Valley shopping mall in Salt Lake City and in a six minute rampage killed five people and severely wounded several more. The dead were identified as Jeffrey Walker, 52, Vanessa Quinn, 29, Kirsten Hinkley, 15, Teresa Ellis, 29, and Brad Frantz, 24.
My initial (blogged) reaction was:
“Any guesses as to whether he's a Muslim or not? I may be going out on a limb here, but I sense another follower of Allah and the Religion of Peace.... And might I add that this is a great example of how having a large section of the population allowed to conceal carry is a good idea.”
Sure enough it turns out Sulejmen Talovic was indeed a Muslim and that little nugget of information has fueled a firestorm of speculation among bloggers and unleashed accusations of ‘cover up’ directed towards the Main Stream Media and law enforcement investigators. The media showed an interesting and obvious reluctance to initially disclose, let alone discuss, eighteen year old Talovic’s religious persuasion...

While some of us might be willing to examine the Muslim angle to this story...if you were a kid in Bosnia...when the ethnic cleansing was taking place...you are screwed for the rest of your life. It doesn't matter what religion you had...there was death around every turn. The US took in alot of these refugees...and this kid is simply episode number one that we will have face.
What are you talking about? This loser was 3 years old when he lived in Bosnia. Don't hand me that "now he's screwed for the rest of his life" crap. He's a freaking jihadist. Don't try to explain away what their cult teaches them to do with worn-out sociaological theories from the 60's. What else could it be? That he was improperly toilet trained?
Give me a break!
That is true. It is also true that any sane person must also admit there is something about islam that turns people into flippin' psychopaths and represive SOB's.
I disagree. The United States took in a lot of Jewish refugees after WWII, many of whom were survivors of the "ethnic cleansing" of the Holocast, and I don't recall them either going on murderous rampages or being given a free pass if they did so. I have no trouble ascribing this foul and evil deed to the "religion of peace."
There was another one a year or two back who was from Bosnia (I think). He was one of two separate Islamofruitcakes that attacked Greyhound bus drivers with box cutters. The first one was a few weeks after 911 and he was killed in the crash. The second guy, though, was an active participant in a unit known as a death squad according to reports.
He must have been another one of those Bush Administration
plants, sent in there to distract attention from that WOT
thing. I'm certain that those at the DU will get to the
bottom of this....JJ61(wink)
I agree with you. We have taken in people from many countries and they have not gone on killing sprees..... I think we are going to see more of these crazy Islamics doing things like this. Another thing which scares me is the fact that so many inmates convert to Islam in prison. They seem to be very militant about their conversion too. I lived near a mosque years ago and most of its members were converts from jail. They scared the hell out of me.
Let there be no doubt that had the perp been a professed Christian the MSM would've repeated that fact ad nauseam.
Why is the media suppressing this sotry? Why are they afraid to write about jihad in the USA?

Pretty good point.
Because it means that W is right.
Are you saying that this jihadist gets a pass because he was part
of an invasion, into a country that was trying to defend itself against Muslim invaders?
The only ethnic cleansing in Yugoslavia was the Ethnic Albanians murdering Serbs/Christians
in the Christian towns and cities in Yugoslavia.
Ethnic cleansing is another myth fed to us by the freakin' media.
Similar to every damn town or city in the middle east is the most holy, or some such crap.
I read the family disagrees with that theory.
Salt Lake police so far keep saying that his religion played no factor, as far as they can tell. Nobody recalls seeing him at the local Islamic Center (2 blocks away from the massacre site)--or nobody has admitted such yet.
Usually, if they're wacked-out jihadis, they leave behind their martyrdom video, and they leave clues. So far, the police have found none. They say they are stumped.

"Die, motherf-----," Talovic said to them, according to one witness. Talovic appears to have uttered few further words. Witnesses said he moved deliberately through the ground floor corridors, firing round after round at helpless others, sometimes swearing, sometimes ordering his victims not to look at him. In seemingly random fashion, showing no emotion, he slaughtered five people and seriously wounded four others.") (Last updated February 14, 2007, 01:29 AM MST)
