New in PJ Media: We hear a great deal about “white privilege” in America these days, but the truth is that those who are said to be privileged are not, and those who claim to be marginalized are actually the elites. Anyone who doubts this should study the case of Mohamed Noor, the Somali Muslim […]
Privilege: Somali Muslim Cop in Minneapolis Gets Less Than Five Years for Killing an Unarmed Woman
My latest in FrontPage: We hear a great deal about “privilege” in America these days, but the truth is that those who are supposed to have it do not, and those who claim to be marginalized are actually the elites. Anyone who doubts this should study the case of Mohamed Noor, the Somali Muslim […]
Minnesota high court tosses murder conviction of Muslim migrant cop who killed unarmed woman
Mohamed Noor is a Somali Muslim, the first Somali Muslim on the Minneapolis police force. In 2016, Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges expressed her excitement about that fact: “I want to take a moment to recognize Officer Mohamed Noor, the newest Somali officer in the Minneapolis Police Department. Officer Noor has been assigned to the 5th […]
Minneapolis prosecutors: Muslim cop who shot unarmed woman “knew exactly what he was doing” and had “intent to kill”
“Noor, no longer a police officer, is scheduled to face a jury on April 1 in Minneapolis.” Betsy Hodges, the former Mayor of Minneapolis, should also face a jury for this, for this tragic incident is ultimately her responsibility. But she won’t. Identity politics kills. If there is any lesson to be drawn from the […]
Minneapolis: Muslim cop who killed unarmed woman to plead self-defense
Self-defense? She was an unarmed woman in pajamas who approached the squad car window because she had called the police for help. This is a familiar pattern: Islamic supremacists always claim that whatever they did was someone else’s fault. Muzzammil Hassan, the Buffalo, New York moderate Muslim leader who beheaded his wife, claimed she beat […]
Minneapolis: Muslim cop who shot unarmed woman charged with murder, turns himself in
Islamophobia kills. We saw this again in Minneapolis, when a 40-year-old Australian woman, Justine Ruszczyk Damond, was killed by a rogue cop, Mohamed Noor. It is a cherished fiction on the Left that there exists an “Islamophobia Industry,” a well-funded group of propagandists who spread hatred of Muslims solely to line their pockets. This is […]
Father of woman killed by Minneapolis Muslim cop: “investigation was not done properly”
“We are deeply concerned about the possibility that the initial investigation was not done properly.” That seems likely. Everyone wanted Mohamed Noor on the police force. He was a symbol, and so he was elevated beyond his competence. He is now a symbol of the fact that Minneapolis put political correctness and the rejection of […]
Police chief ousted after Muslim cop shot unarmed woman named Woman Law Enforcement Executive of the Year
The shooting of Justine Damond by Mohamed Noor should have been the occasion for a wholesale nationwide reevaluation of the idea that police officers should be hired and kept on the force on the basis of their race and religion, not on the basis of merit. Not only has that not happened, but instead, Janee […]
Minneapolis mayoral candidate Raymond Dehn proposes disarming cops after Muslim cop kills unarmed woman
Better yet, how about just disarm the cops who, like Mohamed Noor, are only on the force to demonstrate Minneapolis’ commitment to “diversity,” rather than because they’re competent to be police officers? Even better still, how about hire and fire cops based on merit, rather than for their value as trophy Muslims or Somalis on […]
Legal loophole means Muslim cop who killed unarmed woman may never face criminal charges
This is indeed likely, since Mohamed Noor was a golden boy, a showcased trophy: a Somali Muslim on the police force. He was kept on the force despite his manifest incompetence, and now it is likely that the Minneapolis political establishment, as committed as ever to playing identity politics with the force rather than hiring […]
