It just truly sucks when the narrative gets blown up…
A Muslim was murdered outside an Eid service in Minneapolis last week, and initially, it was a story made to order for the left’s victimhood industry. It even seemed to be a genuine example of “Islamophobia,” which is as rare in real life as Nancy Pelosi stock losses. The far left’s propaganda arm, also known as the mainstream media, swung into action, and leftist politicians chimed in with the requisite displays of outrage and sorrow.
There was just one catch: when all the details came to light, the media narrative came crashing to the ground. Not that anyone involved admitted that or backtracked one inch, of course. As Mark Twain said long ago, the lie goes halfway around the world before the truth has finished tying its shoes, and in this case, as always, the lie served its purpose.
CrimeWatchMpls reported on X on May 27 that “A shooting took place in the parking lot at Canterbury Park, a Muslim event was scheduled to take place in the Expo Center at Canterbury.” Even though nothing had yet been revealed about the shooter, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Planned Parenthood), who is running for governor of Minnesota, hurried that evening to imply that the shooting was an instance of “Islamophobia”: “On this Eid al-Adha, I’m thinking of Minnesota’s Muslim community and all those gathered in prayer today, especially following today’s tragic shooting at an Eid prayer service at Canterbury Park. My thoughts are with the victim’s family and the entire community.”

Everybody and their brother were riding the Islamophobia for all it was worth…
Until the suspect was identified… Mohamed Abdirizak Rage… Oops…
And OBTW, he’s a hard leftist to boot! Of course none of the players are taking back any of their comments, and just like a number of other incidents supposedly ‘targeting’ individuals that turned out to be true, it just mysteriously disappears from the media with no corrections to the basic story…
In other news, it looks like the CA Dems are trying to figure out how many votes they ‘need’ to knock both Pratt and Hilton out of their respective races in California.
Quelle surprise!
Anyhoo, y’all have a good weekend!!!
Oh don’t worry. They’ll find the votes if they have to print them and add them in the middle of the night. All is well.

And just like that, the story stopped being covered and fell down the memory hole.
You really don’t hate the media enough.
Muslim on Muslim violence?
Was one a Shia and the other a Sunni?
Or was the deceased seeing a girl in the shooter’s family without being a cousin?
Personally, I have no problem with people exposing Islamists as cult members, dangerous to society, and have infiltrated the media, along with the government, to promote their agenda. It’s not fear; it’s common sense to protect yourself from enemies that threaten to kill you. They even murder their own members that step out of line.

All- Good points, no good answers here… sorry.
