Muslim Group Spreading Disinformation On Salt Lake Shooter

I don't think it reflects well on a religious group when it tries to disseminate false information on a folllower. See this via the Salt Lake Tribune.

Although he quit school at 16, Sulejman Talovic often attended Friday prayers at the Al-Noor mosque on 700 East in Salt Lake City, said Salih Omerovic, Ajka's cousin.

Salih Omerovic said the young man stopped coming to the prayers in December, when he landed a full-time job at Aramark Uniform Services in South Salt Lake. He said Sulejman Talovic's father had pressured his son to get a job to help out with the family's living expenses.

Now contrast that with what the Muslim Forum of Utah would have you believe. It isn't exactly going to build trust between Muslim and non-Muslim if they attempt to hide ties to individuals involved in crimes or controversy.

PRESS RELEASE: Trolley Square Shooting Not Related to Islam & Muslims 2/14/07  The tragic Trolley Square Shooting that happened recently was not related to Islam and Muslims.  Our hearts go out to the families that were hurt in this event.  The people hurt and killed could have been our own families and friends that attend the nearby Mosque, so we are happy that the perpetrator was killed before he could hurt anybody else in the community.  Our Bosnian contacts in the community say that Sulejman Talovic, an 18 year old high school drop out and Bosnian immigrant, was a young man who lived a hermit type of lifestyle.  Political terrorism is not a factor, given his lifestyle and lack of adherence to Islam.  He was not known to have been religious, but infact secular in nature and never attended any of the local Mosques and did not associate with the community.

Ah, the grand old "al-Taqqiya" or dissimulation (lies) as authorized by the "holy" Koran.

"Reconciliatory Taqiyah. This type of Taqiyah is done when a person intends to reconcile with the other side or when he intends to soften their hearts. This kind of Taqiyah is permissible but not obligatory."

--Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, as quoted in the Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taqiyya#Shi.27a_view )

Not the first "sudden jihadi syndrome" attack that's been covered up and whitewashed.

Don't you get tired of being made a fool by Tbogg??

If you had any endurance at all you could have read one line further and found out that;

Imam Ali Mohamed, the spiritual leader at Al-Noor, said he does not know Talovic.

"I know some Bosnians, but specifically this person, I don't know him," said Mohamed, a Somali who has been in Utah since 2000.

I guess all muslims know each other, huh Dan?

I assume you're a Christian. Do you know my Dad, Norm? He lives in Missouri, but that shouldn't stop you.

KEEEEEEEEEERIST!!! You're fucking stupid.

Well, Joey... I'll take it then that you have it out for Christians, or believers in "the imaginary sky god" ala Richard Dawkins?

Stupidity is a common trait among humans:

"All mankind is stupid, devoid of knowledge;
Every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols,
For his molten images are deceitful,
And there is no breath in them."

(Jeremiah 51:17, NASB)

As for the imam denying that he knew Talovic... consider that he is *lying* under the Islamic Doctrine of "al-Taqqiya" or "Righteous Deception" whereby Muslims can lie to *kuffar* (that's unbelievers or infidels, like you and me both) in order to make them look better.

Wow! That's a startling contrast. Why isn't the MSM following up on this?

Think back to Columbine. Two teenage white boys. Think of all the coverage that massacre received. Now compare it to the day and a half coverage by the MSM of the SLC massacre.

I put all the dots together up at www.libertarianrepublican.blogspot.com

[Phoenix]

Yeah. Creepy how this horrible crime just got snuffed. Fox is on it a little. Seems we're just used to it and perfectly willing to settle for PC.

[templar knight]

Yes, Phoenix, no calls here from the liberals for gun control, more laws, etc., and does anyone know where this kid got the firearms? I have never seen such a complete lack of information on a crime of this magnitude.

[prozacula]

oh yes, templar knight. this is a GRAND CONSPIRACY by the eeevil MSM to keep the necessary knowledge from you! and only because liberals view it as un-PC to talk about muslims, right?

damn you people are complete and utter idiots.

and seekeronos, you freaking genius, you seem to know SO MUCH about islam! he's lying, huh? did you somehow divine that with your infinite wisdom +1 powers? where the hell do you morons come up with this shit?

once again dan, RIEHL STUPID.

[seekeronos]

Heh. I only know as much of Islam as I read in the "holy" Koran, and a few of the whacky Hadiths that the Muslims themselves hold dear as the central tenets of thier religion.

That, and thier inexplicable tendency to follow the more bloodthirsty bits of thier religious traditions to the letter. No "special wisdom+1" or acts of divination required.
