Why jihad will continue to eat us alive

Some of the more pathetic reactions to this weekend's jihadist attacks:

Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton:

That word, "tolerance," may not mean what Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton thinks it does. The Democrat responded over the weekend to a stabbing attack which left nine people injured at a mall in St. Cloud. From WCCO:

Authorities say the suspect, who has yet to be identified, attacked several shoppers at the Crossroads Center mall on Saturday night. Police say he mentioned Allah and asked at least one victim if they were Muslim.

“If true that [the stabbings] were motivated by religious bigotry, I condemn them even more strongly,” the governor said in a press release Sunday.

Dayton attempts to group this attack with other forms of "religious bigotry." To his mind, this stabbing proves no different than any harassment which Somali Muslims have suffered at the hands of Minnesota natives. Muslim students have occasionally been bullied at school. These people were stabbed. Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

The governor is asking the Minnesota community to embrace tolerance.

“I ask everyone in the St. Cloud area and throughout Minnesota to rise above this atrocity and act to make religious and racial tolerance one of the ways in which Minnesotans again lead our country,” Dayton said.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest says that "in some ways this is actually just a war of narratives" and so post-Americans need to quite linking terrorism and Islam.

NYC mayor Bill DeBlasio demonstrated why he makes the big bucks when he concluded that the attack in his city was "an intentional act."

And how about that Chris Hayes of MSNBC? Tweets that we were "very very lucky that the attackers tried to use explosives rather than guns."
