F Fox News saying its international terrorism

[brettdale]

Because the shooter has a muslim name and saying this has bad ramifications for President Obama.

Most other media, are saying its a tragic mass shooting.

1. If that is so then what ramifications did 9/11 have on bush and the republicans?

[brettdale]

4. I hate fox news so much

Guest just right now has said "in 100 mosques in the la area, 80 of them were found to be preaching Jihad"

[still_one]

10. you and me both

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

2. Wait, who said the shooter has a Muslim name?

[Suich]

9. A guy on O'Reilly's show.

Billo went on to explain the scenario, should we find out the shooters were members of ISIS.

However, we don't have enough info yet.

What a schmuck!

[JI7]

3. does one or more of them have muslim name ?

[brettdale]

7. Fox news is reporting

The shooter is named Farooq Saeed.

This was first reported by one of Donald Trump's biggest supporters on Twitter.

5. There are several unconfirmed media reports that the name "Farooq Saeed"

was heard/mentioned over the San Bernadino police scanner as one of the shooters.

8. was mentioned on the scanner but was not a confirmed shooter

I am sure we will know who they are shortly.

[beam me up scottie]

13. Jesus Christ on a trailer hitch.

They're going to run with that.

6. How does faux news know the names?

or are they going by the one name that someone gave police earlier in the day?

[flamingdem]

11. I heard that name before they caught up with them

so it sounds doubtful. Trolling probably.

12. I am always against jumping to conclusions immediately after any big event.

This time, some people are being quick to link it to Islam (and by extension, President Obama), apparently because of a a suspect's name, which I have not yet heard verified. On the other hand, the president and all three Democratic candidates have are reported to be blaming this on a lack of gun control or something. Let's wait until the facts are in before drawing any conclusions. This is too serious to be jockeying for political advantage already.

14. The hell is a 'muslim name'?

Religions have specific naming conventions? When did that start?

[Glassunion]

21. It's all in the vowel to consonants ratio...

Of course I don't think Fox News is smart enough to know the difference. So it basically falls to the fact that if they cannot pronounce it, it must be a "Muslim Name". Hence the issues with Obama always being accused of being one.

[Shandris]

23. Ah! That explains much!

As an amusing aside, several long years ago I was a happy little fresh high school grad with an unhealthy desire to play Street Fighter 2 all day at the arcade. You would not BELIEVE the pronunciations I came across for names as simple as...

...wait for it...

...Ken.

Yeah. Ken. As in "and Barbie". Pronounced "Keen." According to this individual. And I think there were at LEAST eight different pronunciations of Guile (and amazingly, in all the years I played that silly game, I only met one other person who could correctly pronounce the word!). My personal favorite was "Gwee-lay".

So I wouldn't have any trouble buying this as an actual explanation, as sad as that is!

15. I call Fox international terrorism

[LiberalElite]

16. The FBI guy just now said he wasn't prepared to say whether it's terrorism or not. BUt

he's gubmint so what does he know.

[Photographer]

19. That was really disconcerting. I was hoping it wasn't but now am not so sure.

[LiberalElite]

20. Now someone else on CNN is talking

someone came to the event and left or was kicked out and came back with two people - which doesn't sound like terrorism to me but they are not ruling out terrorism yet.

[Photographer]

22. Yeah, I've been hearing about that all day

which had me thinking it might have been someone associated with a militia who went and got a couple of buddies and came back. Another thing is one of the shooters was a woman which you don't usually place with a ME based terror attack.

[spanone]

17. what else would they say, it plays right into the fear they instill daily in their viewers

[spin]

18. Let's not speculate at this point. We will know a lot more tomorrow or in ...

a couple of days.
