Do right wing gunmen shout Allahu Akbar

Do “right-wing” gunmen shout “Allahu Akbar”? While American media is saying the Munich mass shooting has “all the earmarks of a right-wing terrorist,” UK media is reporting that the gunmen were shouting “Allahu Akbar” as they killed people.

      • I love how the media is sure this incident has something to do with Brevik. But when a copy-cat of a different kind kills people, mum's the word!! Oh well. The media must justify their reason to exist... If they were to just give us the facts, most of us would be bored, cos the majority of the population now have their own personal media-generating machines these days.

        There's a technical name for it, actually: User Generated Content.

  • Another case where the early reporting says multiple shooters complete this time with pictures of a gunman on a parking deck and another coming out of the McDonalds only to hear later one guy acted alone. I don't buy it.

  • They fell into the trap. This guy is a Iranian – German guy. Showing that people don't assimilate very well is not one way to say well at least it wasn't an immigrant.

    Maybe the guy was Hawaiian and was just yelling 'aloha snack bar'.

  • I hope it is a Muslim, I want Sheppie to apologize for his glee. If he doesn't, he needs to be fired.

  • Even the Daily Mail feels compelled to go on an extended maunder on Norvegian killer Anders Brevik -- photo of him giving the Sieg Heil not lacking -- because this is the anniversary of HIS crime. I guess we have to nail down that moral equivalency.

    • Exactly. We were just talking about Shepard Smith here in IHTM and I listened to him make the case that this MUST be a right-winger because of the anniversary. In other words, "Just in case y'all forgot, NOT ALL TERRORISTS ARE MUSLIMS PEOPLE." Sheesh. It's enough to make you puke.
