Boston Marathon bombing—it had nothing to do with Islam ---says Idiot ......................................................................................................... By Arthur Weinreb -- May 16, 2015 canadafreepress.com There are several “laws” such as Godwin’s Law, which postulates the longer a discussion on the Internet goes, the greater the chance that one of the participants will compare someone or something to Hitler or the Nazis increases. A new and similar law could be called “Ortiz’ Law.” which would hypothesize that the longer a person discusses Islamic terrorism, the more certain it will be that that person will say the act or acts in question have absolutely nothing to do with Islam. After a federal jury in Boston sentenced Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to death, US Attorney Carmen Ortiz made a fairly lengthy statement.. It was inevitable she would say that the terrorist acts committed by Tsarnaev and his brother had nothing to do with Islam or Muslims. And she did not disappoint. “Make no mistake, the defendant claimed to be acting on behalf of Muslims. This was not a religious crime. And it certainly does not reflect true Muslim beliefs. It was a political crime, designed to intimidate and coerce the United States. Although the defense claimed that the defendant himself was intimidated and coerced by an older brother, the evidence did not bear that out. The defendant was an adult, who came to believe in an ideology of hate. And he expressed those beliefs by killing, maiming and mutilating innocent Americans on Patriot’s Day.” What complete and utter nonsense! What expertise or authority does Ortiz have to conclude what true Muslim beliefs are? Contrary to what Ortiz is trying to convince the unwashed masses, Tsarnaev’s political ideology is Islam. Ortiz’ statements are further evidence of the head-in-the-sand approach to Islamic terror than many in the West have. Unless there is a change to this politically correct way of thinking, there is little doubt radical Islam will win out in the end. Ortiz’ Law: the more someone talks about terrorist acts committed by Muslims, the greater the likelihood they will eventually say these acts have nothing to do with Islam.

Speaking at historically black Tuskegee University commencement exercises last Saturday, first lady Michelle Obama told a crowd of bright-eyed graduates : “The road ahead is not going to be easy. It never is, especially for folks like you and me.” Let’s pause for a moment to remember that the speaker went to Chicago’s prestigious Whitney Young magnet school, then to Princeton, then to Harvard, then on to a rather mysterious six-figure job at the University of Chicago, which I’m sure was totally unrelated to her husband’s political work. Next, she was off to the White House, proceeding to globe-hop to places like Cambodia, where, in March, she booked 85 hotel guest rooms at a cost of $242,500 for 33 minutes of public speaking. This was a drop in the bucket, of course, compared to the estimated $44 million in taxpayer-funded vacations she and her husband have racked up over the years. “There will be times,” the first lady continued, “when you feel folks look right past you, or they see just a fraction of who you really are. … My husband and I [have] both felt the sting of those daily slights throughout our entire lives — the folks who crossed the street in fear of their safety; the clerks who kept a close eye on us in all those department stores; the people at formal events who assumed we were the ‘help’ — and all those who questioned our intelligence, our honesty, even our love of this country.” It reveals a lot about the mind of Michelle Obama, who apparently assumes that the only reason you could possibly criticize her or the president is that you are a racist. snip Full Commentary
