Haq Charged With Nine Counts, Including Murder

Michelle writes she had, before the media decided otherwise, thought the Seattle Jewish Federatation shooting was more important than Mel Gibson.

Indeed it is.

Speaking of Mel Gibson...

Why is it that most people were convinced Mel Gibson was antisemitic when he said antisemitic things, and yet there are some who aren't quite sure that Haq acted out of Muslim terrorist/jihadist Jew-hatred despite the fact he said, pretty much, "I am a Muslim terrorist/jihadist and I hate Jews," and then, in case you weren't quite convinced by his mere declarations (which could be self-serving puffery, I grant), started, in fact, shooting up a group of Jewish women, one of them pregnant?

It's a puzzler, all right.

I suppose, with regard to Mel Gibson, I should have been "fair" and said "I'm not looking for antisemites under every tree."

And even if he then went on a Jew-shootin' rampage, I still should have withheld judgment.

Wouldn't want to prejudge the evidence, after all.
