Earlier today, a Radical Islamic extremist rammed his car into 8 people on a Bike Path in Manhattan.
Eight people were killed when a man drove 20 blocks down a bike path beside the Hudson River in Lower Manhattan on Tuesday afternoon before he crashed his pickup truck, jumped out with fake guns and was shot by a police officer, the authorities said.
Federal authorities were treating the incident as a terrorist attack and were taking the lead in the investigation, a senior law enforcement official said. Two law enforcement officials said that after the attacker got out of the truck, he was heard yelling, “Allahu Akbar,†Arabic for “God is great.â€
Mayor Bill de Blasio said at a news conference, “Based on information we have at this moment, this was an act of terror, and a particularly cowardly act of terror aimed at innocent civilians.â€
Two law enforcement officials said the driver of the truck, a 29-year-old man who came to the United States in 2010, was in grave condition. One official said he had rented the truck in New Jersey.
Now, of course in true leftist fashion, they took to twitter calling out Islamophobia rather than the Terrorist himself.
Acts of terror don’t belong to any faith. Let’s focus on the victims and their families and pursue full justice for them.

It begins. CNN reports murderer said “Allahu Akbar.” Queue the Islamophobia. Many Muslims will now have to answer to Manhattan. Unfortunate.

“Allahu Akbar” is quite literally the term law enforcement agencies & media outlets use to determine whether something is “terrorism.” SMH.

CNN: We know that Allahu Akbar is a popular phrase among terrorists.
COME ON MUSLIMS SAY THIS EVERYDAY IN PRAYER.

Every believing Muslim says Allahu Akbar every day during prayers. We cannot criminalize “God is great.” Prosecute the criminal not a faith.

Of course, we couldn’t complete this article without a few ignorant statements from Joy-Ann Reid:
Lots of terrorism talk and speculation on local and national news re this NYC incident. I don’t remember that happening after Vegas…
— Joy Reid (@JoyAnnReid) October 31, 2017
The tragedy in NYC is that 8 people are dead. New Yorkers don’t have an hysterical fear of Muslims so no one bother marketing that here.

This is just a small sample size of the twitter rhetoric I witnessed shortly after this Terrorist Attack. I decided to only include verified twitter accounts so that we can see these aren’t just twitter trolls.
The left needs to stop making excuses for these Terrorists. They are bad people radicalized by Islam. As ISIS is defeated they will begin to commit for more Terror attacks like this.
