inalillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon
I suggest you go and look up PragerU, Paul joseph Watson, SquattingSlavTV, RedIce TV, Fox, etc...
Infowars is absolute BS even the WN I spoke to say that, they even say Alex Jones is a jew. I didn't mention because then I'd have to write it like a shopping list.Things are a little bit worse and much better than you say. You left out Breitbart and Infowars, in my view the most notorious anti-Muslim "journalism" outlets. But you completely left out the other side of the story. From a journalistic perspective: CNN, ABC, PBS (publicly-funded), and BBC America are consistently anti-xenophobia in their reporting.
Here in the US, we just elected our first two Muslim women to Congress. Even before Democrats got control of the House, Trump's travel ban against Muslims was struck down by our court system, and they didn't even try to overturn that decision in Congress.
I live in Trump country, in the deep South. Even here we have a thriving Muslim community. Several mosques here in Greenville, South Carolina are part of an interfaith organization. Hundreds of members of my mom's Christian Church have visited mosques and hundreds of Muslims have visited her Church.
Our local newspaper The Greenville News published an op-ed about the recent tragic events, and it was written by a young lady affiliated with the Islamic Society of Greenville.
I am the West. I am an agnostic, skeptic, raised Christian, upper middle-class background, with traditional humanities education from a public university. The day after this tragedy took place, I called my local mosques to tell them that me and my friends and my family stand with them. I told them that I love them like brothers and sisters.
What I'm getting at is that if you only look for the bad, that is what you will find. There is good out there too. Look for that.
No PragerU promotes what they call "christian" values. Ofcourse like most WN movement they are heavily pro-Israel. I think you were talking about Ben Shapiro.Isn't Prager a Jewish Neocon?
Likewise, Paul Joseph Watson and Squatting Slav are fringe Internet personalities, and like Red Ice, none of that is mainstream or widely accepted. 99.9% of westerners don't even know who those guys are.
I would also point out that in January, Islamic radicals bombed Catholic churches in the Philippines, killing 20. The media virtually ignored this, and I saw no public outcry.
And for the guy posting Bin Laden videos under the pretense that Usama's logic somehow makes sense, I would ask how running over young girls in Sweden, a country that has virtually no involvement in Middle-Eastern affairs, and which has opened its doors to Muslims, is somehow justified?
No one should be making excuses for violent radicals, or trying to claim exclusive victimhood here. The barbarian who attacked the mosques in New Zealand is equivalent to ISIS.

Yeah, I think that is the hidden blessing of all the social media outrage that we see. People are showing their true colors. It's all out there in the open, and we can react appropriately.I truly understood it after the 2015 refugee crisis which really transformed the mental state of the society i live, but it applies to this and any other event too, that the very least one thing what we can always take from these that they are a kind of 'furqan' (i think 'distinguisher' ? in English), they are showing the true colour of individuals, separating the good from the rotten, showing what is in their heart, seeing how they cope and respond to these events, and it is irrespectively to whether they are muslims or non-muslims. I thank Allah for the 'ibret/lesson He give us, no matter if it is sometimes painful and disappointing to learn it, sometimes comforting and inspiring..
Am i allowed to upload a link to the video just so people realize how important it is for citizenry to excercise their God given right to bear arms, if people had not forgotten that only mad people and slaves were prevented from keeping weapons so that there would be no revolt or mutiny against the masters - it is highly likely that someone would have pulled out a handgun and immobilized the illegal shooter, someone in the office should also have had a pistol in an easily accessible locker. This video is proof of the fact that even if governments who take away peoples God given rights by giving false and empty assurances of security -overtaxed the populations which they administer in order to inefficiently hire more police, such an incident is unavoidable -if people do not stand up and demand to be treated with due respect.
Allah SWT said:
وَإِذَا كُنْتَ فِيهِمْ فَأَقَمْتَ لَهُمُ الصَّلٰوةَ فَلْتَقُمْ طَآئِفَةٌ مِّنْهُمْ مَّعَكَ وَلْيَأْخُذُوٓا أَسْلِحَتَهُمْ فَإِذَا سَجَدُوا فَلْيَكُونُوا مِنْ وَرَآئِكُمْ وَلْتَأْتِ طَآئِفَةٌ أُخْرٰى لَمْ يُصَلُّوا فَلْيُصَلُّوا مَعَكَ وَلْيَأْخُذُوا حِذْرَهُمْ وَأَسْلِحَتَهُمْ ۗ وَدَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْ تَغْفُلُونَ عَنْ أَسْلِحَتِكُمْ وَأَمْتِعَتِكُمْ فَيَمِيلُونَ عَلَيْكُمْ مَّيْلَةً وٰحِدَةً ۚ وَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِنْ كَانَ بِكُمْ أَذًى مِّنْ مَّطَرٍ أَوْ كُنْتُمْ مَّرْضٰىٓ أَنْ تَضَعُوٓا أَسْلِحَتَكُمْ ۖ وَخُذُوا حِذْرَكُمْ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَعَدَّ لِلْكٰفِرِينَ عَذَابًا مُّهِينًا
"And when you are among them and lead them in prayer, let a group of them stand [in prayer] with you and let them carry their arms. And when they have prostrated, let them be [in position] behind you and have the other group come forward which has not [yet] prayed and let them pray with you, taking precaution and carrying their arms. Those who disbelieve wish that you would neglect your weapons and your baggage so they could come down upon you in one [single] attack. But there is no blame upon you, if you are troubled by rain or are ill, for putting down your arms, but take precaution. Indeed, Allah has prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating punishment."
(QS. An-Nisaa 4: Verse 102)

It was narrated from Abu Musa (radi Allahu anhu) that Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: "If one of you passes through our Masjid or our marketplace, with an arrow, let him hold it in his hand by its point, lest he harm one of the Muslims with it in some way." [#6665: The Book of Al-Birr: Sahih Muslim]

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’oon. May Allah gives beautiful place in jannah for the victims.
I'm very angry, but I don't want revenge. I just want this tragedy to be a reminder for everyone that violence is not the right way to solve problems.

There were six Indonesians in masjid An-Noor, and two other in masjid Linwood. One who was in masjid An-noor, Mr Lilik Abdul Hamid, died in this tragedy. While two other who were in masjid Linwood, a father and his little boy, being shot, but now in stable condition.
Yeah, Death Penalty can be a double-edged sword. If I recall correctly, recent statistics show that 1 out of 9 criminals executed here in the past 50 years were posthumously exonerated (found innocent). That's a lot of innocent people killed, around 100.I personally wouldn't call for the death penalty in usurer run countries since the terrorism card has been abused too many times, and too many of our best brothers and sisters are still waiting in jail for their lawful actions -and sometimes only speech- against the now internationally admitted ILLEGAL invaders of Iraaq - and we await their vindication.
