Am I reading too much into this quote from the Manchester loser's father?

yes.

I will give him the benefit of the doubt that it is probably his grasp of the English language that is causing that odd sentence structure.

No

quote:

'We don't believe in killing innocents. This is not us.'

---

But the Koran says none of the infidels are innocent so there's that

quote:

This is not us.'

Actually this is a common quote from serious criminals.
"Yes, I made a mistake and killed two people while robbing the gas station. But that's not who I am."

Link?

Cool. Shouldn't we want more Muslims to disagree with this? and not to want "kill all infidels"?

Are we acting like them saying "we don't believe in killing innocent people" is a bad thing now?

quote:

---

in his sons mind, and according to the koran, he did not kill innocent people.

Exactly my point

quote:

---

But talking from Tripoli in Libya today, his father Ramadan Abedi insisted: 'We don't believe in killing innocents. This is not us.'


Seems like an odd and unnecessary distinction, no?

If a US General said the same thing, how would you take it?

You're reading too much into it.

Not to mention that he didn't blame other people for his child's act of violence. That's pretty strong, compared to how I see people in the US react when their children do something terrible.

his parents are disagreeing with this

His point is that they're not.

Some language that Islamists use that and its true meaning to their believers.

JUSTICE – The Justice provided to people living under Islamic Law

FREEDOM – Freedom from man-made or secular laws

TERRORISM – Killing a Muslim without Right. Under Islamic Law, there are specific reasons for a Muslim to be killed (e.g. Apostasy). Under Islamic Law, if a Muslim is killed for a reason not specified under the law, the person who killed the Muslim must also be killed.

INNOCENTS – Only Muslims are innocent under Sharia

JIHAD – Warfare against non-Muslims

SUICIDE – Killing oneself. Unlawful under Sharia

MARTYRDOM – Dying in Jihad. The only way under Sharia a Muslim is guaranteed entry in Paradise. Muslims who blow themselves up while killing non-Muslims in Jihad are Martyrs, not “suicide bombers. All transgressions on Earth are forgiven by martyrdom with the exception of debt.

PEACE – When the entire world is subordinated to Islamic Law and living under the global Islamic State (Caliphate) with an Islamic Ruler (Caliph), the entire world will be under the “Dar al Islam” or the house of Islam and Peace, and there will be Peace on earth.
