Berkeley students: Chattanooga shooting justified, racist to call shooter Muslim

This is the cultural marxism that is permeating every aspect of higher education.  This is all they know and the scary fact is they will eventually hold positions in business, law, teaching, and in healthcare.  Speak against them? You will be hated and despised and in many cases fired from your job.  Consequently, they are creating a large silent majority of radicals that will combat them.  Their hate is creating a vicious alternative that will soon lash out if these extreme leftists are not careful. The extreme left hates anything American, hate themselves, feel guilty and hate white's and white priviledge.  White Priviledge?  Last I heard ew have an African-American President.  I see no difference between them and RW extremists.

In a video posted to YouTube on Wednesday, students at the University of California in Berkeley told filmmaker Ami Horowitz that the shooting at the Chattanooga, Tennessee, recruiting station was "legitimate." Moreover, students said that referring to the shooter as a Muslim is racist.

"The attack in Chattanooga, was that a little more legitimate because they were soldiers?" Horowitz asked. Students he asked said yes and explained why.

“Some people would say that a military installation or institution, even including recruiting centers, that is a legitimate military target,” one student said. The man went on to say that “some people” would consider the 9/11 terror attacks to also be legitimate. Some 3,000 people died in the attacks that took down the twin towers of the World Trade Center.

“If you get caught with your pants down it’s unfortunate,” another student said. His female companion agreed, adding, “Yep – I feel like they put themselves in that situation – they know what they’re getting themselves into.”

“If a man is in a U.S. military army uniform….police officer, if they can drone me that’s a legitimate target, he’s asking for it,” said a third student. “There are legitimate targets everywhere," a Muslim student remarked.

The students interviewed expressed absolutely no remorse for the five service members killed in the attack. Infowars' Paul Joseph Watson said they were "quick" to defend against allegations that Islam played a role. The shooter, identified as 24-year-old Muhammad Youssuf Abdulazeez, was texting Islamic verses to friends hours before the shooting, Watson added. One message read: “This life is short and bitter and the opportunity to submit to Allah may pass you by.”

But students dismissed any notion that Islam played a role. “You cannot blame the religion for that,” one person said. Another said Christians commit just as many attacks. When pressed, both were unable to cite a single attack by a Christian. One student mentioned the Crusades, conflicts that were over long before the United States came into existence.

“When a newscaster says a terrorist attack happened, and the guy was Muslim, is that racist?" Horowitz asked. All of the students in the video said yes, despite the fact that "Islam" is not a race.

“I have to admit, this is one of the first times that I thought the students would never go this far," Horowitz said. "I guess I was wrong. There is truly no limit to their anti-American sentiments." The video posted by Horowitz can be seen above.
