NYT:

quote:

WASHINGTON — President Trump shared videos supposedly portraying Muslims committing acts of violence on Twitter early Wednesday morning, images that are likely to fuel anti-Islam sentiments popular among the president’s political base in the United States.


Holy crap

BBC:

quote:

Donald Trump's Twitter account has retweeted three inflammatory videos from a British far-right group.

The first tweet from Jayda Fransen, the deputy leader of Britain First, claims to show a Muslim migrant attacking a man on crutches.

This was followed by two more videos of people Ms Fransen claims to be Muslim.



So it's okay to state as fact that these videos "are popular among the President's base", but it's not okay to state that a dude holding a fricking ISIS flag and throwing a teen off a clay-roofed building and then being beaten by turban'd men with shoes is anything but "purported to show Muslims".

If they cover the videos at all, Trump's tweets reached their target.

maybe these news outlets are implying that the videos are faked by the CIA to dupe the population?

I argued on twitter a few minutes ago with some libtards (I know, why bother) that were saying Neo Nazis were the source of the videos. I said That I thought muslims were the source of the videos. They were trying to that these videos themselves were designed to show Islam in a negative light. SMDH

Islam is a bad hill to die on

Obama's(and Hillary) soft stance on Islam hurt them in 2016

It's so true.

It's also astounding to me that there haven't been any major Moslem terror attacks in the West lately

The CIA is too busy defending themselves from military intelligence (MI). MI has had enough of their shite.

I don't know if that's true. We had an attack at the end of October, less than a month ago. A quick count shows that there were about 7 attacks this year in the West, with 25 total attacks this year. Last year there were 11 attacks in the West, with 46 total attacks. The lower attack total is more a function of ISIS being defeated (not completely yet) through the combined efforts of Assad/Iran/Russia/PMUs/Kurds, among a lot of other groups.
