After the June 3 car and knife attack in London, it took only a few minutes from the event's announcement for Mr. Trump to tweet and use it for his own agenda to push for a travel ban to stop Muslims. This tweet was before British government even announced that it was being investigated as a possible terrorist event.

It has now been over 12 hours since this event and I just checked Mr. Trump's real twitter account. He has been tweeting but no comment so far on this terrorist event. Wonder why.

Prime Minister May seems able to comment, many hours ago

Mrs May added: “This extremism is every bit as insidious and destructive to our values and our way of life. And we will stop at nothing to defeat it."

Also no comment from Mr Trump about the murder just a few miles from his home of 17 yo Nabra Hassanen in what seems to have been an anti-Muslim killing.

Of course it took three days and heavy media criticism for Trump to comment on the murder in Portland of men who were trying to defend a Muslim from Islamophobic attacks.

So to summarize, yes this is likely a right wing anti-Muslim terrorist attack. No Trump comment. And the murder in Virginia, likely anti-Muslim, no Trump comment. And the Portland event. Late and very weak and no comment about what intolerance got these men hurt. Just this
"The violent attacks in Portland on Friday are unacceptable. The victims were standing up to hate and intolerance."

And some still wonder why there are those who see Mr Trump as anti-Muslim, not just anti-Muslim terrorist. It is because he is quick to condemn any terrorism by Muslims against non-Muslims, but slow to never to condemn attacks against Muslims. And it is the silence of some or even the tacit encouragement that in the sick minds of those who would consider such acts is enough to get them to act.

The right is always calling for every Muslim organization and spokesperson to immediately condemn any Islamic terrorism event, fully and without hesitation to send a clear message that those events are unacceptable. And when those condemnations occur they are not even heard.

Here are three recent, two in the last 24 hours, anti-Muslim killings by likely Christianist terrorists, and I am still awaiting the full and without hesitation condemnations from the highest leader of our country.

Either you oppose terrorism or you don't. You can't say it is only evil in one direction.
