Islamic Terror Attack In Philly: Officer SHOT In Patrol Car

[Expat1 971]

i don't think there are thousands and thousands of muslims in philly who would do the same, you said that. what's stopping them, is they have no desire to kill in the first place.

Good point. They're pretty busy. NPR did a cool story on them awhile back.

Polygamy in the U.S. is not limited to remote enclaves in the West or breakaway sects once affiliated with the Mormon Church. Several scholars say it's growing among black Muslims in the inner city — and particularly in Philadelphia, which is known for its large orthodox black Muslim community.

No one knows exactly how many people live in polygamous families in the U.S. Estimates from academics researching the issue range from 50,000 to 100,000 people.

Take Zaki and Mecca, who have been married for nearly 12 years. In their late 20s, they live in the Philadelphia suburbs, have a 5-year-old son and own a real estate business.

Zaki also has something else: a second wife.

discuss the topic please.

discuss the topic please.

Well as I was saying, the officer whose gun was used to commit this crime was irresponsible. That's why he got reprimanded. Would you infer from that post that I am trying to attach blame to all innocent gun owners? I thought it was quite specific.

Your point? Penny used to talk about stuff like that too. Penny was fun, dont you think?

She never said that ?

Islamic terrorism. So weird.

Edward Archer, 30, of Yeadon, has been named as the suspect who ambushed Philadelphia Police officer Jesse Hartnett and firing 13 shots at the officer at 60th and Spruce streets in West Philadelphia.

Edward Archer. I wonder if that's a Shiite name? It doesn't sound Sunni. Can't always tell by the name though.

He claims to be a Muslim. The planned parenthood shooter claimed to be a Christian. Looking at the posters in both threads, many seem to be a lot more motivated by condemning the religious affiliation than condemning the acts.

Its really not that difficult when the authors of the books that are the basis of the religious affiliation write it neatly down.

If you say so. Those books were written in an age where most people couldn't read. Hard to imagine people still find reasons to believe they should be taken literally.
