In the name of Islam

That's what Edward Archer stated as he tried to assassinate a Philadelphia police officer in his marked police car just before midnight on Thursday. They Mayor denied any connection to Islam.

But if you're saying it wasn't "in the name of Islam" I challenge you to prove otherwise.

A gunman claiming allegiance to Islamic State militants shot and seriously wounded a Philadelphia police officer, saying he ambushed his patrol car "in the name of Islam," the city's police commissioner said on Friday.

Edward Archer of Philadelphia approached Officer Jesse Hartnett, 33, shortly before midnight and fired 11 rounds, three of which hit the officer in his arm, authorities said. Police released still images from surveillance video that showed the gunman dressed in a long white robe walking toward the car and firing, eventually getting close enough to shoot at point-blank range through the window.

Hartnett chased Archer, who was arrested by responding officers and later confessed to the attack, police officials told reporters.

"He has confessed to committing this cowardly act in the name of Islam," Ross told a press conference, adding that the 30-year-old assailant also referenced Islamic State militants.

Philadelphia Police Captain James Clark added, "He said he pledges his allegiance to Islamic State, he follows Allah and that was the reason he was called on to do this."

And I doubt you far left drones have ever been to the DNC head quarters, but you carry out your religious narratives day in and day out without question or hesitation..

Just like the narrative you just posted!

Is this a standard retort or is this you flailing your arms up in the air in denial? His mom said that. I don't take testimony from family members of shooters seriously. How did she know "he was hearing voices in his head?"

He wore the standard white garb that a worshiper of Islam would normally wear in a mosque, called a "Thawb." The video will show that. There was a mosque not a block from his house. The Imam at the mosque didn't know him and he said he didn't know if he prayed there or not. But given that hundreds of people pray at that mosque at any given time, the Imam is not capable of memorizing the names and faces of his entire congregation.



It all links up, and your story is bunk.

 

[TemplarKormac]

Seems likely, given the history. Like a number of other mass shooters.

So you're going to sit there and blame every last mass shooting on someone who was mentally unstable?

Wow. So I guess San Bernardino was perpetrated by some mentally ill lunatics claiming to be Muslim.

I'm a bit perturbed by this line of reasoning.

No. I'm going by what the articles said. Local muslims say he didn't attend any mosque. His mother said he heard voices, others describe him as paranoid. Sounds like mental illness. Most of these mass shooting things end up being mental illness. Why is it that when the religion happens to be Islam, it's not mental illness? If the shooter was a Christian, and heard voices - we'd all agree it was mental illness.

Umh. No. How about you refrain from putting words in my mouth?

Look over the major mass shootings - Aurora Theatere, VA Tech, Sandy Hook, Giffords....all mentally ill.

Why is it, if the perpetrator is Muslim you automatically disregard mental illness?

 

[TemplarKormac]

Why is it that when the religion happens to be Islam, it's not mental illness?

Given what happened in Paris, it's rarely "mental illness." Gonna blame that on a few people who lost their marbles, too? What about San Bernardino or Chattanooga? Care to go down the list?

 

[TemplarKormac]

I'll direct you to a statement he made to police at the time of his arrest.

"police bend laws that are contrary to the teachings of the Quran"

Coyote, that's not mental illness, that's a motive. Premeditation. I will hear no more of this "he was mentally ill" nonsense. Why is it, ma'am, that when it's a Muslim, you rush to defend him/her, and insist on mental illness instead?

I'm not following your logic. How do the terrorist attacks in Paris somehow make it "rarely" mental illness?

Other than the dubious connection to a religion shared by more than a billion people around the world, this event in Philadelphia has absolutely nothing to do with San Bernadino, Paris, or Chattanooga.

Declaring that you "won't hear" things that you don't want to hear is never a sign of someone who's actually interested in having a conversation.

Nothing Coyote has posted has been in "defense" of this guy. You are using this guy to foster your own hatred and fear of a religion shared by more than a billion people.

 

[TemplarKormac]

How do the terrorist attacks in Paris somehow make it "rarely" mental illness?

How does it not? Why is it "always" or "most likely" to be mental illness? When someone shows motive and plans out an attack for lets say, a month in advance, mental illness becomes less likely.

Other than the dubious connection to a religion shared by more than a billion people around the world, this event in Philadelphia has absolutely nothing to do with San Bernadino, Paris, or Chattanooga.

A billion Muslims in the world and you can't seem to wrap around the idea that this man may be one of them.

This is you putting words in my mouth. I never once associated this with those terror attacks. I used them as an example of Coyote's logic. It seems to me she was in a rush to label this as a man who went off the deep end instead of considering the possibility that he is a member of Islam.

So, when a man who does something in the name of Allah, decries police "bending the law contrary to the teachings of the Quran," and is seen wearing traditional Muslim religious garb on the video, that makes him mentally ill instead?

 

[TemplarKormac]

Nothing Coyote has posted has been in "defense" of this guy.

She asked me in rather blunt terms "Why is it when its a Muslim you're willing to rule out mental illness?"

I'm sorry. You can trash my reasoning all you wish, but that sounds like a defense to me.
