“This isn’t a religion that stands when people talk about the blessed name of the prophet”
Politicians and the media are rushing to describe the two Muslim terrorists who threw IEDs at a rally protesting the Islamization of New York City as ISIS.
And they have stated that they support ISIS.
But what politicians and the media are more reluctant to discuss are their other statements.
“This isn’t a religion that stands when people talk about the blessed name of the prophet… we take action” and “if I didn’t do it someone else will come and do it.”
Emir Balat also wrote “All praise is due to Allah… I pledge my allegiance to the Islamic State. Die in your rage yu kuffar.”
Or infidels.
Balat, a Turkish Muslim, also stated that he wanted to kill more Americans than in the Boston Marathon bombing.
Yes, they’re pledging allegiance to ISIS, but they did it in the name of Islam and its prophet: Mohammed.
