Head-in-the-sand approach to Islamic terror
There are several “laws” such as Godwin’s Law. Godwin’s Law is named after American lawyer and author, Mike Godwin, and postulates the longer a discussion on the Internet goes, the chance that one of the participants will compare someone or something to Hitler or the Nazis increases. A new and similar law is needed; perhaps it could be called “Ortiz’ Law.” Ortiz’ Law would hypothesize that the longer a person discusses Islamic terrorism, the more certain it will be that that person will say the act or acts in question have absolutely nothing to do with Islam. No, no, no.
After a federal jury in Boston sentenced Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to death, the US Attorney on the case, Carmen Ortiz made a fairly lengthy statement to the media. As she went on and on and on, it was inevitable she would say something to the effect that the terrorist act committed by Tsarnaev and his late brother had absolutely nothing to do with Islam or Muslims. And she did not disappoint.
She said in part, as quoted by Breibart:
“Make no mistake, the defendant claimed to be acting on behalf of Muslims. This was not a religious crime. And it certainly does not reflect true Muslim beliefs. It was a political crime, designed to intimidate and coerce the United States. Although the defense claimed that the defendant himself was intimidated and coerced by an older brother, the evidence did not bear that out. The defendant was an adult, who came to believe in an ideology of hate. And he expressed those beliefs by killing, maiming and mutilating innocent Americans on Patriot’s Day.”

Idiot statement from an idiot operative in an idiot administration based on idiot principles founded by idiot liberals.
OF COURSE it didn’t!
I can't believe someone would be as stupid as to say something like that....
Are you from America or you a Muslim?
Anything done in the name of islam has anything to do with islam
The refrain of liberals.
Amazing how many Muslims carry out terrorism around the world, yet it never has anything to do with Islam.
Can we all now agree that Islam is not a religion it’s a political death cult? Thank you, Carmen, for clarifying who our enemy is.
She’s up for the Marilyn Mosby Award for best performance
as a district attorney.
She also said comments such as “Boston Strong” and other
inappropriate things at the press conference after the
sentencing yesterday. I hope the defense doesn’t use her comments
in the appeal.
Bombing of abortion clinics by radicals has nothing to do with Christianity either but, liberals gladly hold ALL Christians accountable.
What a stunningly declaration of brazen hypocrisy in support of rank denial by this US Attorney.
At this late date, with everything that has happened and is happening in the world with Islam, to declare that it is not a political organization based on domination through terrorism, hatred and murder is simply indefensible. I don't know how she can face herself in the mirror - or if she can see herself in the mirror at all. This is just incredible.
He was a chechen.
This was not a religious crime. And it certainly does not reflect true Muslim beliefs. It was a political crime, designed to intimidate and coerce the United States. ...The defendant was an adult, who came to believe in an ideology of hate.
Yes and the ideology of hate he came to believe in came from the Koran. Islam is hate against all non-muslims. Read it for yourself. This person is self-deluded or clueless about the true nature of Islam.
NY Times Suggests Death Penalty for Boston Terrorist a ‘Blot’ on City’s Shining Reputation
By Clay Waters | May 16, 2015 | 10:01 PM EDT
The front of Sunday’s New York Times will evidently be blessed with “Death Penalty Leaves Boston Unsure of Itself.” The paper found the death sentence handed down to convicted Boston Marathon terrorist bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev a “blot” on Boston’s compassionate liberal reputation, which has rendered the finish line “a place of ambivalence,” with no end of self-righteous Bostonian handwringing on the matter.
Seelye had pushed in previous stories the activism of leftist nun Sister Helen Prejean, who lent what Seelye termed “moral authority” toward the defense’s plea for leniency for Tsarnaev, who killed four people and wounded hundreds more with pressure cooker bombs set by he and brother Tamerlan at the Boston Marathon finish line. On Sunday Seelye (with reporters Abby Goodnough and Jess Bidgood) did not hide her distaste for Tsarnaev’s death sentence.
