A Question About San Bernardino If I May.

Forgive me if i am wrong, i believe the chap who murdered the 14 in San Bernardino had been attending a Xmas Party, something went wrong ; he then went away and returned armed to the teeth.

My question. Why was a Muslim attending a Xmas Party? This would be a Christian celebration would it not.

Generally speaking, it was a Holiday Party. Most places of work in the US are PC, meaning they will not risk offending anyone by having an actual Christmas Party. There are too many people who do not celebrate Christmas and there are plenty of other religious or secular celebrations that take place at the end of the year. So they call it a Holiday Party and everyone is supposed to be happy.

He went wrong…

Thank you.

That has answered my question.

Regardless of what happened at the party, there had to be something going on before that if him and his wife had bomb making materials, tactical gear, and overload of weapons/ammunition readily available.

Nevermind.

Christmas is both a religious and secular holiday in the US, so don't let the name fool you.

The putting up the tree and gift giving is part of a secular celebration. Has nothing to do with Christianity despite the name. Santa Claus is not a religious character, nor is the gift giving.

There will always be a tiny handful of people who are opposed to everything that try to spin it to fit their agenda, but the legal holiday of Christmas is, what it is.

I think he imported a professional bomb-maker from SA...and they were supplying a larger cell with bombs.
The remote-controlled car-bombs police found in the home are AQ designs.

The meat served at the party was not halal.

And the pro made one that failed?

Kinda pokes a hole in that theory.

Sounds to me like they had heard of them, I mean who hasn't heard of a pipe bomb, and tried to copy it and failed.

@Ketsuko
Forgot it is not PC to some to not call it a Christmas party.
Catering to your employees is such a horrible thing to do, must be part of the Obama master plan.

I do not know where you get Muslims can't celebrate Christmas I know many who join in and I get gifts from a couple and will enjoy myself at my works party with many Muslim work pals so....

You haven't heard of a Christian muslim before?
He was only half jewish!

This rampage was obviously not some random Muslim-guy-at-a-Holiday-party-and-got-offended scenario, it was planned out long in advance.

You're saying ALL pipe bombs made by trained bomb-makers work perfectly?
Why would you think that?

a reply to: IAMTAT

Well you are the one that presented the idea they imported a pro from SA.
I just think a failed bomb pokes a hole in that. Especially when we want to talk about how this was a planned terrorist attack with international help.

Wild speculation anyway, so guess it doesn't really matter.

Why do you think a trained bomb maker would make one that didn't work?
