Muslim terrorists are increasingly targeting concert venues, as Paddock did on the weekend. So the sheriff “may be tacitly acknowledging that the Islamic State’s claims to be behind this attack are accurate.” The word radicalized “is quite often used to refer to Muslims who wage jihad,” Robert Spencer notes. So what kind of radicalism could Lombardo have been thinking of? For much of the mainstream media, the fact that Paddock was a white male explained his violent rampage.
The reporters present for the statement did not bother to follow up. Paddock may have been “radicalized unbeknownst to us,” Clark County, Nevada, Sheriff Joe Lombardo said at a presser without elaborating. We’re going to look at all avenues, not close any.” In Las Vegas Wednesday FBI Special Agent in Charge Aaron Rouse said, “We have found no evidence to this point to indicate terrorism, but this is an ongoing investigation. The terrorist group also claims Paddock converted to Islam six months ago and refers to him by a nom de guerre, Abu Abdul Barr al-Amriki. Islamic State continues to claim responsibility for the massacre. The deadliest mass shooting in modern American history has been cravenly transformed into anti-American propaganda by the Left, as Democrat commentators race to ghoulishly disparage white men, gun rights and the NRA, Republicans, and President Trump, blaming them for what otherwise looks like a Muslim terrorist atrocity. Las Vegas authorities now acknowledge mass murderer Stephen Paddock may have been “radicalized” before his bloody rampage Sunday at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival but they won’t say what species of radicalism the shooter may have embraced.
