... because he's Muslim.
Trump tweeted that Sayfullo Saipov, the murderer of 8 innocent New Yorkers, was "sick and deranged".
Well...
Yes and no.
"Yes", if we accept that Islam is itself sick and deranged. (which, let's be frank, it is).
"No", if we think that his sickness and derangement were some form of physical or mental problem.
Saipov's motive for mowing down New Yorkers is clear. It's reading the Koran and believing the inerrant word of god to kill unbelievers "wherever you find them".
That's precisely why he shouted "Allahu Akhbar".
NYPD say they are "still looking for motive". It's clear: Islam.
This man killed precisely, clearly, uniquely, scripturally, proudly and godly, only because he is Muslim. (and of course, of course, of course, not all Muslims are mass murderers. For goodness sake). He killed because he belives -- correctly -- that his god, Allah, tells him to do so and offers him a fine after life if he does.
Here is the brave and sensible Raheel Raza, a Sunni Muslim, talking about the need to combat the ideology of violent jihad. To so many others, on the Left in particular, we can't speak of these things for fear of being racist or islamophobic.
LATER: BBC now saying that Saipov followed "almost to a T" the instructions on social media on how to go about killing with a vehicle the most number of "infidels". Why is that info available on social media -- on Facebook and Twitter, let's say -- while they can quickly ban someone like Milo Younoppoulis or Roger Stone?
