Did you watch the press conference after the Chattanooga shooting? The FBI was warning against a “rush to judgment.” They didn’t want to assume anything regarding the motivation for this crime. That would be fine, except that if a black man is shot by the police there is certainly a rush to judgment. That is why Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown are household names. If this guy had a Tea Party connection there would have been a mad rush to judgment. Liberals are convinced that a lot of people are motivated to commit hate crimes by Fox News, Evangelical Christians, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin or some other right wing racist. There is no evidence of that, but that has zero impact on the liberal left. In this case the shooter was named Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez. He had made several overseas trips to Muslim countries. Is that a coincidence? Yet, incredibly, the FBI is not sure what motivated him:

“We’re going to do an intense look at him to see what his connections are,” FBI Special Agent in Charge Ed Reinhold said. “We’ll look at his friends, family, associates — anybody who is associated with him to determine the cause or the reason why he conducted this attack.”
U.S. Attorney Bill Killian said officials were treating the attacks as an “act of domestic terrorism,” though the FBI’s Reinhold said authorities were still investigating a motive.
Check out the article in the Daily Mail. Look at how differently this is covered overseas. The contrast with the American media is stunning:
I sincerely hope some leaders in the Muslim community step forward and deal with this. Otherwise this could get ugly. The case involving Robert Doggart is very disturbing.
His response to the legitimate threat of Muslim Extremism was to develop a plot to kill all Muslims. He was motivated by videos alleging that Islamberg was conducting terrorist training.

The videos are not confirmed and local police are skeptical, but he is not necessarily wrong about this facility. There is no excuse for what Doggart did, but this is not totally unpredictable. This is what happens when people lose faith in the federal government being ready, willing or even able to protect us.
It is hard to have much confidence when the FBI seems intent on ignoring the obvious. As the blog says, sometimes what is obviously true is obviously true.
