[QUOTE]Two Danish nationals were wounded Saturday in a knife attack in Gabon’s capital apparently committed in retribution for “US attacks against Muslims,” a minister said.
The two men, who were working for the National Geographic channel, were stabbed while shopping in a market popular with tourists, said defense minister Etienne Massard, adding that the attack appeared to be politically motivated.
“According to the first testimonies at the scene, the assailant, a 53-year-old Nigerien man, shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ (“God is Greatest”) during the attack. He was arrested on the spot,” said Massard.
The man, who has lived in Gabon for 19 years, “in his first statements said he acted in retaliation for US attacks against Muslims and America’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.”[/QUOTE]

Nah, thanks these weirdo "freedom fighters" who think they should just randomly attack civilians because somebody said that a capital is different. I mean, is their side really worth listening to considering they resort to violence the instant they get the chance?

I'm sure it's a case of, "I'm mad at Americans, hey look white people, close enough" but I have yet to see a single positive thing generated by the President's decision.

[QUOTE=proboardslol;52985292]I think that's a bit of a leap. I don't think there's any way to explain how he came to the conclusion he did since he's very obviously mentally ill[/QUOTE]
how is it a leap?

You shouldn't be blaming Trump for an individual's actions, but this is obviously the kind of stuff people were concerned about - and (part of) why the US didn't recognize Jerusalem for so long. If Trump really went out of his way to provoke NK, and they responded by nuking some place (not that it think this is likely, but just go with it) - sure, he didn't push that button, but even if you aren't responsible for the actions of irrational people, that's still not a good excuse to not take their irrationality into consideration in your actions.

[QUOTE=proboardslol;52985315]No rational person would assume that any random white person in Denmark is American. It'd be a huge leap for him to make, so assuming that was his rationale is an equally large leap to make[/QUOTE]
this wasn't in denmark, this was in Gabon, which is in Central Africa

Oh shit how did I miss that
So a guy who doesn't have a fucking thing to do with the struggles of the Palestinians, attacks two people who don't have a fucking thing to do with the oppression of the Palestinians.
What a moron.
