Not to worry. Obama and the Mayor of Philadelphia will find some way to explain that this has nothing to do with Islam.
“Sources: Suspect Confesses To Shooting Officer, Says He Did It In the Name Of Islam,” by Justin Finch, CBS, January 8, 2016:
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Authorities say a Philadelphia police officer is recovering after he was shot several times during an ambush late Thursday night in West Philadelphia.
Philadelphia police commissioner Richard Ross says the officer was sitting in his patrol car around 11:30 p.m. at 60th and Spruce Streets when a gunman fired 13 shots through the driver’s side of the car.
The officer — 33-year-old Jesse Hartnett — was struck three times in his arm, authorities say.
“Shots fired! I’m shot! I’m bleeding heavily!” Hartnett can be heard yelling on police radio.
Sources tell Eyewitness News the suspect has given a full confession, saying he did it in the name of Islam.
“When you look at the video, this is one of the scariest things I’ve ever seen,” Commissioner Ross said. “This guy tried to execute the police officer. The police officer had no idea he was coming. It’s amazing he’s alive.”…

“Not to worry. Obama and the Mayor of Philadelphia will find some way to explain that this has nothing to do with Islam.”
Exactly Robert. What they are going to claim is that he suffers from Tourettes Syndrome and “I did it in the name of Islam” just happens to be one of his ticks.
Andrea says
They already have, much to my sorrow.
Jayke says
Immediately, the local democrap Mayor of Philadelphia jumps on the gun grab bandwagon …
Jim Kenney, in his first week as mayor of the nation’s fifth-largest city, said, “There are just too many guns on the streets, and I think our national government needs to do something about that.”
I wonder what the perp’s real name is.
Carla says
LOL. INDEED! smh The mayor of Philaelphia is an IDIOT! After the major JUST SAID the suspect gave Islam as his reason for shooting..the mayor grabs the mic and says the shooting had nothing to do with Islam. REALLY?!? Do you think we’re a bunch of idiots? All I can say is that mayor HAS to be either (1) afraid of being assassinated by some Islamic follower, or (2) he’s in Oslama’s pocket and getting paid to say that. ARRRRGH. This makes me so MAD!
Sam says
If we do not arm ourselves and learn to protect ourselves from Islam, our lost of freedom is our fault.
If I were a cop I would quit and get another job under this climate of hate against cops, plus these idiot Jihadis.. Thanks Obama and your liberal Idiots!
Matt Brenneman says
It is interesting that when these types of incidents happen, people brush them off as “fringe” or “radical” elements. But could it be just like Americans fearing the Islamification of our country are called “Islamaphobes”, these people suffer a similar (and more serious prejudice), “Americanaphobia”?
Why is it that not many people talk about this real, deep seated hatred Muslims have for America because our country’s founding principles oppose those of Islam’s?
My only hope is that they can intel from this nut-job because attempted murder of a police officer means that without some type of plea arrangement he’s going to get a lot of time to practice Islam with his fellow Muslims in jail.
Evan says
They would rather ban guns instead of banning Muslim’s from entering this country
gabi says
Banning guns will stop delinquents to achieve one and start shooting people unarmed? Come on! The only result of banning guns will be a deadlier police force and a larger number of Islamists in organized crime and arms smuggling&terror.
Angry Aussie says
Interesting concept. “Shoot a cop in the name of Islam.” Shouldn’t Muslim police start shooting themselves for Islam?
I hope the police officer makes a full recovery physically and psychologically. What a disturbing event. He is very lucky.
TheBuffster says
Yes, I hope he makes a full recovery. The officer in the video mentioned nerve damage. A person can wind up with a withered arm from nerve damage.
I wonder how bad things are going to get before people start pushing back. If cops start leaving the force in large numbers, our society is going to be a nightmare.
And when people start pushing back, will it be in an intelligent way? Or will they get all emotional and knee-jerky and make things worse and worse until we’re living in a chaotic hell.
Muhammad Bear says
I think the media has achieved exactly the right balance here.
It is much better to pander to the sensibilities of petulant Muslims than to inform the American public about the impending threat from a violent and dangerous ideology.
In fact, I really think the Left is really on to something here. Disarming the American public while allowing radical Jihadis easy access to an unguarded border sends a very clear message that political correctness should be prioritized no matter the cost.
nacazo says
He misspoke. He wanted to say he did it in the name of Aslan, a professor of creative writing.
Bill says
The new mayor of Philadelphia predictably, and immediately, blamed it on the availability of guns and called for a national solution. Pathetic. So, instead of focusing on the perpetrator his motivations, our President will punish law-abiding citizens with increased attempts to infringe on second amendment rights while damning anyone in the exercise of their first amendment rights for calling attention to the government’s refusal to both acknowledge and confront Islamic terror.
Sam says
As a liberal I would want to know the REAL reason for this murder attempt.
Angel Gabriel says
Sam, as a regressive liberal, the Real reason for this murder attempt is Donald J Trump’s temporary ban of Muslims. Sarc/off.
What BS Hillary spews when she says that criticism against Islam causes these attacks. Following the Coran causes them, period. It is just another attempt to impose sharia blasphemy laws.
John C. Barile says
Though his family reports Archer was “hearing voices” recently–a la Mohammed–they confirm that he is “a devout Muslim.” Archer reportedly told police he opened fire because the police enforce laws that go against Islam.
John C. Barile says
Say, Jibril–I mean, Gabriel–what ideas have you been putting into this po’ boy’s head?? He said you been talkin’ at him.
don vito says
My take is that this act is islam. Not radical, but normal, average, true, pious, devout, mainstream islam. Conforming to the texts, the tenets, and the teachings of islam. This adherent to islam would be hailed in Gaza or by Abu Abbas in the PA. IS, Al Quida, Taleban, Boko Haram would praise this act as act of true worship of alla. Can’t get more centered in islam than this man and his act. Cheers!
Carla says
You are 100% CORRECT! There is no such thing as a ‘radical’ muslim. Those who follow the Quran to a ‘T’ ARE the devout ones who kill. Because that’s what the Quran says to do to those who do not believe. Those who don’t want to follow the Quran to a ‘T’…we call ‘moderate’. Pfffft. The labels we use are ridiculous and show our ignorance. The devout muslims laugh at our naitivite…while the US bends over backwards not to offend these killers. lol and smh
Myxlplik says
Sam,
As a Liberal I think you should take this Muslim at his word, and go from there, because this Muslim seems like he is trying to tell us something.
John C. Barile says
AP quotes Mayor Jim Kenny: “This is a criminal with a stolen gun who tried to kill one of our officers”–now, why is that? He quickly adds, “It has nothing to do with being a Muslim or following the Islamic faith.”
John C. Barile says
Since the suspect apparently got his hands on a gun stolen from a policeman’s home, it just goes to show that Philly and the nation need much more stringent gun control.

After Jihadist’s confession to the contrary, right on cue, the Mayor of Philidelphia announces at 1:06 PM ET press conference:
“In no way, shape or form does anyone in this room believe that Islam or the teaching of Islam has anything to do with what you’ve seen on that screen (video of shooting). That is abhorrent, it’s just terrible and it does not represent the religion in any way, shape or form, or any of its teachings.This is a criminal with a stolen gun who tried to kill one of our officers (and) has nothing to do with being a Muslim or following the Islamic faith.”
I’m waiting next for the announcement that police will be increasing their patrols of mosques and Islamic neighborhoods to prevent “backlash” against innocent Muslims.
Michael Copeland says
The Mayor must have been listening to that learned guru of Islam,
George W. Bush, “George the Knowledgeable”.

Xero_G says
One more thing – notice in the text of Philadelphia mayor’s statement (above post) that the mayor claimed to speak for “everyone in this room”.
So not only can he read the mind of the Jihadist, he can read the minds of everyone in the press conference room. Such an amazing man!
Carla says
The mayor of Philadelphia is an lying I D I O T! After the police sergeant JUST SAID the suspect gave Islam as his reason for shooting…the mayor grabs the mic and says the shooting had nothing to do with Islam. REALLY?!? Do you think we’re a bunch of i d i o t s? All I can say is that mayor HAS to be either (1) afraid of being assassinated by some other Islamic follower, or (2) he’s in Oslama’s pocket and getting paid to say that. SMH a thousand times.
John Stefanyszyn says
Terrorist attacks, as hail (small,many,here,there)…on fire & mixed w blood, as loathsome sore…what then ‘Mountain on Fire’?
Angemon says
Hmm, I wonder if law enforcement will run around looking for a reason?
Sheer luck the wannabe martyr was a terrible shot.
Dennis says
Mr. Mayor, al-Baghdadi says It’s the Islam I know How dare you insult the prophet of Islam.
Mark says
Please view share and give a thumbs up to the following documentary, https://youtu.be/t_Qpy0mXg8Y. This would be good for people with any sympathy for Islam.
