Fair enough.

But when Muslims are killed by someone who’s passed off as a “white supremacist” (thanks to the media), the demands of restraint disappear and judgments are hurled.

CAIR, the largest Muslim advocacy organization in the U.S., warned against blaming any one person for the shooter’s actions, but pointed to research showing a rise in anti-Muslim sentiment since Trump was elected. CAIR National Executive Director Nihad said Trump needs to assure Muslims that they are protected and that he will not tolerate violence against their community.

“Mr. Trump, your words matter. Your policies matter. They impact the lives of innocent people at home and globally,” Awad said at a news conference Friday.

Actually, anti-Muslim sentiment has been growing since September 11, 2001 and the rise of terror attacks that have occured since haven’t helped Nihad Awad’s case. Coincidently, on the same day as the New Zealand massacre, there were other horrific attacks in the world; attacks Mr. Awad declined to mention because it was too inconvenient.

At least 13 civilians have died in fresh attacks in Mozambique’s volatile northern Cabo Delgado province where Islamists have terrorized villagers in remote communities for more than a year, local sources said Saturday.

International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that earlier today, around 6:00 a.m., Boko Haram insurgents launched an attack on Ngurhlavu village of Lassa in Askira-Uba local council area of southern Borno State. Most of the villagers were able to flee into the bush, but the insurgents burned down six homes, destroyed the EYN Church (Church of the Brethren), killed one person, and abducted two sisters, Stella Ibrahim and Plungwa Ibrahim.

If we’re playing the numbers game, the 50 killed in Christchurch, New Zealand by a white guy is larger than the 20 killed by Muslims in other parts of the world on the same day, but the fact our media has amplified CAIR’s claim of anti-Muslim sentiment blamed on President Trump while being allowed to ignore the actions of his murderous brethren should be pointed out.

While many have quickly rushed to judgment and made this political against President Trump, remember how these are the same people who demand WE not rush to judgment when one of their own kills en masse.

Fort Hood shooting: 13 dead, 30 injured
Council for American-Islamic Relations national communications director Ibrahim Hooper said Sunday that the U.S. still isn’t clear if the shootings at Fort Hood were an act of terrorism. “To call it an act of terror is to jump to conclusions, to rush to judgment,” Hooper said in an appearance on TV One’s “Washington Watch.”

Boston Marathon bombing: 3 dead, 183 injured
CAIR spokesman Dawud Walid told WWJ Newsradio 950 it’s unfortunate that Muslims are often instantly considered suspects in such attacks. “We shouldn’t rush to judgment in regards to this horrific attack – we don’t know who did it, irrespective of who did it, there is not religion that sanctions wanton violence against innocent people,” he said.

Florida nightclub shooting: 49 dead, 53 injured
The ex-wife of the gunman who opened fire in a Florida gay nightclub has urged people not to quickly assign motive to the attack that left 49 dead. Sitora Yusufiy said in an interview Tuesday night on CNN that former husband Omar Mateen was unstable and prone to emotional outbursts while they were together but she never heard him express any radicalism.

These are just the higher profile incidents in the United States. The thousands of deaths at the hands of Muslim terrorists including incidents in Paris, Ankara, Nigeria, Koulfoua, Brussels, Lahore, Istanbul, Baghdad, Nice, Quetta, Sehwan, Zliten, Beslan, Bataclan, London, Manchester are just some of the other two-or-so day stories our media moved on from because once we found out who the murderers were, it was time again to not rush to judgment and paint others with that proverbial broad brush.

Consistency used to hold people accountable for their actions but when the activists and the media choose sides, things get ignored when inconvenient and amplified to suit a political end. Imagine the pointed accusations of unfounded hysteria if Americans took additional security measures after an Islamic terror attack and what would be said about them. But for others, such measures suddenly become justified and promoted.

For a community that has feared for its reputation in America since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and has watched hate crimes against Muslims mount over the past three years, Friday’s violence ratcheted up anxiety levels that were already high. Mosques across the country swiftly implemented new security precautions, just hours before their communities gathered for the weekly jum’a prayer. Police in cities across the country sent officers to mosques. Faithful attendees debated whether it would be safe to go pray.

It’s great to be the victim. You can gain lots of that valuable sympathy and you can dictate the terms of how narratives are presented.

Then again, if you can’t be consistent and practice what you preach, we have no obligation to listen to demands.

The media was pretty much in lockstep here, so any selective information about what Tarrant wrote would have to come through them. See a problem looming? We’ve learned long ago that when the media says NOT to do something, there’s often a partisan, political agenda.

So, we did and it was almost immediately obvious why they didn’t want it out there without their biased filter.

Tarrant first played on the correctly-anticipated Democrat political response to the use of a gun, which would initiate a call for another “discussion” on the need to eliminate the 2nd Amendment, coupled with the quilt-by-association (once again) of the National Rifle Association.

And it was an easy bet who’d take the bait….

Tarrant knew a partisan media would blame his attack on President Donald Trump and he was right.

Democratic senator and CNN rush to blame Trump over New Zealand massacre
New Zealand mosques’ attack suspect praised Trump in manifesto
New Zealand Shooter’s Manifesto Praises Trump
New Zealand suspect wrote in manifesto he supported Trump ‘as a symbol of renewed white identity’
Christchurch shooter Brenton Tarrant supported Trump
New Zealand Mosques Shooting Suspect Called Trump a ‘Symbol of White Supremacy’
New Zealand Mosque Shooting Suspect Allegedly Called Trump ‘Symbol of Renewed White Identity’
New Zealand shooter called Donald Trump ‘a symbol of white identity’ as he murdered 49 people

The media knew most people would either not know where to find or not bother to read the manifesto, so you’d just have to take their word for it. The news disseminators committed (yet again) another example of bias-by-omission because when you read ALL of what Tarrant wrote, it’s clear he’s NOT a devotee of Donald Trump.

“Dear god no” is not exactly a ringing endorsement by someone you’d expect to be wearing a MAGA cap.

Owens responded with an “LOL” in a Tweet.

Not as savvy as advertised….

Tarrant’s endorsement of Candace Owens is a curious one, but he’s just ANOTHER sucked into the fraud she is. Owens is a very-recent conservative convert of convenience, was initially hired by Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk as a black face to cover for his organization’s blatant racism, and her social media musings are hardly original.

It’s sad that despite our well-researched chronicling of Owens’ fraud and her clear disdain for Tea Party conservatives (of whom she hoped would “peacefully die-off in their sleep” so HER millennial generation could take the power she believes she deserves), she’s been repeatedly endorsed by Rush Limbaugh, many other conservative entities and President Trump.

Very sad.

Brenton Tarrant knew our Democrats and their media well, however the left is colorblind when it comes to the desired confiscation of firearms for self-protection and look at the results, i.e. Chicago, Baltimore, New Orleans, etc.

The media also portrays him as a “right wing extremist”.

New Zealand shootings appear to be “ultra right-wing terrorism,” says analyst
Far-Right Terrorist Kills 49 in New Zealand Mosque Shooting

Tarrant doesn’t appear to care much for labels.

Hmm… only saw the “right wing” in the headlines. Bias-by-omission is something the media is really, really good at, especially when they they attempt to control who can see what with their own eyes.

In fact, this sounds more like the far-left recitations of Bernie “one puh-sunt” Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez than anything President Trump or any conservative has ever said. Maybe that’s why none of the media has included this quote from Tarrant’s manifesto.

Oh, and another thing our media hasn’t told the American people: Tarrant is an environmentalist not too happy about the lack of real progress from the “movement”.

We assume our media will get around to this shortly, you know, to competently inform the public.

Tarrant knows our liberal left well and one could speculate that he has Rules for Radicals somewhere on his reading list.

Saul Alinsky wrote, “Never go outside the experience of your people.” In other words, assume your followers are uninformed, use emotion over facts because they rightly assume the Democrat base will act out without any critical thinking and/or desire for additional details. Works every time.

So, no.

Despite the initial assessment and direct finger pointing from Democrats and their media, the Christchurch shooter is NOT a “right wing extremist”, pro-NRA, Donald Trump supporter. Brenton Tarrant knows all the triggers that would play both the media and our politicians.

Mission accomplished.
