Mayor Moron

"Name of Islam?" Hasn't Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney decreed that this crime has "nothing to do" with Islam?  What sort of newspaper would repeat such an Islamophobic calumny? Even if it did come straight out of the mouth of the suspect himself. The shooter is mad, I tell you, MAD!

Or is it Kenney who is mad? So caught up in denying the reality of radical Islamic jihadism, Kenney and his friends in the Democratic party look to absolve violent Muslims of any religious motive.

Kenney's tolerance toward Christians devoted to their religion is less generous. When the owners of Chick-Fil-A publicly asserted their belief in traditional marriage only, Kenney wanted them run out of his town on a rail.

From 2012:

The Philadelphia City Council will consider a resolution condemning Chick-fil-A for what one city leader called “anti-American” attitudes that promote “hatred, bigotry and discrimination.” 

City Councilman Jim Kenney sent a letter to Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy telling him to “take a hike and take your intolerance with you.”

Just how tolerant does Kenney think devoted Muslims are when it comes to gay marriage? The owners of Chick-Fil-A, (the Cathy family) donated money to defeating gay marriage initiatives. Muslims throughout the world, following their religion, actually kill homosexuals.

Of course, there are a cherished few in the Muslim faith who would like to argue that the Koran doesn't demand punishment for homosexuality. Good for them. But that argument has fallen on deaf ears throughout the Muslim world.

Check this out from just one Islamic website:

What is the punishment for homosexuality?

“Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Loot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.” And Abu Dawood narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas concerning the unmarried person who commits a homosexual act that he said: He is to be stoned. And something similar was narrated from ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib (may Allaah be pleased with him). The Sahaabah did not differ concerning the ruling that the homosexual is to be executed, but they differed concerning the methods. It was narrated from Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq (may Allaah be pleased with him) that he is to be burned, and from others that he is to be executed."

Stoned. Burned. Whatever. You get the point.

Which raises this question: Has Kenney written to any local Imams who preach that homosexuality is not just a sin but a crime punishable by death, to demand they leave the City of Brotherly Love and take their intolerance with them?

But then, maybe he values his head more than his principles. Or maybe he's just unbelievably ignorant when it comes to what Islamists believe and what its most serious adherents practice. Whether it's executing homosexuals, cops, adulterous wives, or girls who have been raped, Islam often does have "something to do with it."

Kenney's politically correct and hypocritical stupidity doesn't flatter the city that he was elected to serve.
