Of course. What could screaming “Allahu akbar” possibly have to do with Islam? He said after he killed Karlov: “We are those who have given a pledge of allegiance to Muhammad that we will carry on jihad.” What could that possibly have to do with Islam? For CNN, nothing. When the establishment propaganda media is determined to see no jihad, it doesn’t matter how high the evidence mounts that a particular attack was indeed motivated by Islam’s jihad doctrine. For CNN and its cohorts, the facts don’t matter. Only their spin does.
“The killing of Russia’s ambassador makes a bad situation much worse,” by Nic Robertson, CNN, December 19, 2016 (thanks to Satiria):
(CNN)Ambassador Andrey Karlov didn’t stand a chance. He didn’t even see the gunman coming.
Behind him, over his right shoulder, a man in a in suit and tie was pulling his pistol before pointing it in the air and shouting: “Allahu akbar (God is greatest). Do not forget Aleppo! Do not forget Syria! Do not forget Aleppo! Do not forget Syria!”…
At first glance the attack seems to have a religious motivation. The gunman shouted “Allahu Akbar”, but there is no guarantee he represents Muslims of any sort….
