ACLU Lawyers Blame Christians For Orlando Terror Attack

Via The Daily Caller

Several American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) attorneys took to Twitter to blame the “Christian Right” for Sunday’s deadly terrorist attack at a nightclub in Orlando, Fla., which left 50 dead and 53 injured.

Chase Strangio, a staff attorney with the ACLU’s LGBT and AIDS Project, claimed the social and political environment cultivated by Christian conservatives in recent months was to blame for the shooting at Pulse, a nightclub popular with Orlando’s LGBT community.

The Christian Right has introduced 200 anti-LGBT bills in the last six months and people blaming Islam for this. No.

Strangio also called for solidarity between American Muslims and LGBT communities, arguing both are maligned and oppressed by the religious right.

Federal law enforcement officials have identified Omar Mateen, of Port St. Lucie, Fla., as the alleged shooter. Mateen’s father told NBC news his son harbored anti-gay sentiments, and said his son gave voice to those feelings recently during a trip to Miami, where he saw two men kissing.

 Another ACLU attorney, Eunice Hyon Min Rho, who specializes in election and religious liberty law, impugned the motives of Republican lawmakers who expressed sympathy for the victims, by pointing out many were sponsors of the First Amendment Defense Act, legislation the ACLU considers anti-LGBT.

She further characterized expressions of solidarity as “useless,” as many of the victims could be people of color, who she contends are regularly stigmatized by Republican legislators. Little demographic data is currently available about the victims, as many have not yet been identified.

She went on to retweet a user who claimed many public officials would use the auspices of an LGBT tragedy to pursue an “anti-Muslim agenda.”

The ACLU did not respond to The Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.


One Killed, Three Stabbed At German Train Station By Knife-Wielding Assailant Screaming “Allahu Akbar”

I heard about this attack on my local MSM radio station this morning. It’s funny. They didn’t mention anything about the killer being Muslim and yelling Allahu Akbar. I guess that would damage the MSM storyline of loving Muslims integrating into German society. The MSM is nothing but a fucking joke at this point.

One man was killed, and three were stabbed A German national stabbed three passengers at a train station near Munich early on Tuesday, after a 27 year old knife-wielding assailant reportedly shouting “Allahu Akbar” attacked people at Grafing train station 32 km southeast of Munich at about 5 a.m. local time.

The attack might have an Islamist motive, officials said. “The perpetrator made remarks during the attack which point to there being a political motive,” Bavarian police said in a statement, adding he had been arrested and there were no further suspects.  Apart from “Allahu Akbar” the man was heard shouting “unbelievers,” Das Bild newspaper reported, citing local witnesses.

The prosecutor has confirmed the death of a 50-year-old man. He added that “two people are badly wounded, one is in critical condition.” The three injured are aged 58, 43 and 55. The “assailant made remarks at the scene of the crime that indicate a political motive – apparently an Islamist one,” Ken Heidenreich, spokesman for the prosecutor’s office, told AFP. “We are still determining what the exact remarks were.”
