Earlier this year there was a Coptic Christian family from Egypt who were killed in New Jersey. A lot of people "put the pieces together" and jumped to the conclusion that this was connected with Islamic-inspired terrorism. Anyone who pointed out on the FR threads about this case that the connection had not yet been proven was quickly shouted down. Then it turned out that family had been murdered by some criminal lowlifes with no connection to Islam.
Yes, there is plenty of reason to be on the lookout for Islamic-inspired attacks. But people are so quick to assume that new cases are related to "the big picture" and to listen to rumors rather then wait for the true facts to come out and to ridicule any questioning of these quick conclusions.
Sometimes it seems like people are wanting the facts to point in one direction because it's more exciting that way and they can further stoke their anger. That's a lynch-mob mentality.
Those of us who see the ties between Hinrichs and Islamist terrorism are not listening to rumors. We are putting together the facts that have been reported. These facts have not been reported by the MSM, but nevertheless they have been reported. And sufficient facts have been reported for us to assemble a picture which links Hinrichs to Islamist terrorism. Those who refuse to even consider that link are not being cautious in order to avoid jumping to conclusions. They are simply denying what is there, and looking for other explanations, for whatever reason.
