Right Wing Bloggers Desperate to Blame Germanwings Crash on Muslims
By now everyone’s heard about the reports that a French prosecutor has alleged that copilot Andreas Lubitz deliberately crashed a Germanwings A320 into an alpine mountain late Tuesday. Key word, of course, being “alleged,” because nothing has been determined for certain yet.
But that doesn’t stop the Stupidest Man on the Internet, the inestimable Jim Hoft, from screaming: PHOTO—- the Copilot Who Murdered 149 People on a Germanwings Airbus A320 | the Gateway Pundit.
DERPPhotos were released today of the copilot who murdered 149 people on a Germanwings Airbus A320.
The copilot would not let the pilot back into the cockpit after he left to use the restroom.
28-year-old German Andreas Lubitz trained in the [sic] Phoenix, Arizona and is pictured here in San Francisco.
Somehow Hoft managed to refrain from automatically blaming the crash on Muslims, as he normally would — probably because he knew his knuckle-dragging readers would do it for him. And they responded like Pavlov’s dogs:
News of recent conversion to Islam in 3…2…

the PC crowd will never ‘reveal’ his true ‘ties’

another pilot “…trained in the US.” —
but- this was not a terrorist- attack -
NO-
islam is a religion of peace-
Right[…]
Andreas Lubitz, peace be upon him, is no more Islamic than the Sharpton is hustling.
[…]
“Not known” just means he was smarter than the stupid (liberal) people running Germany.

Time that we start testing every pilot before every flight. Hand them a bacon sandwiche and throw any that don’t eat it off the dam plane.
[…]
Showing pix of him at San Francisco proves his communist leanings.

This tragedy should be blamed on muslims anyway ! : without 9/11, and other arab/muslim “air terrorism” (highjacking etc), the cockpit door would have been normal (not reinforced etc) and it could have been opened by the locked out pilot/crew who then could have retaken control of the plane.

Was he a Muzzie who changed his name or had converted recently?

Could this be the new ingenious tactic the terrorists are using to down planes?
This crazed response isn’t unique to Jim Hoft’s hate site; if you look at comments on any right wing blog or media site today you’ll find similar Islamophobic rants. For example, from the story at Breitbart “News:”
Accommodations to Islamic pilots could allow them room for a prayer rug in the cockpit and allowing them to navigate towards Mecca for Prayer Time before readjusting heading for final destination.

yelling Allah Akbar while downing a plane is so yesterday..

The ACCELERATING demographics in Europe show that the ‘NO-GO’ areas of ISLAMIC CULTURE are GROWING and, as they MERGE, there will be FEWER and FEWER places to LAND.

Does O-hole allow Muslims to pilot AF One?
It would be interesting to know, how many times AF One has been flown by a Muslim?

I think andreas last thoughts went to Allah
At Breitbart there are thousands of comments like this. There’s a deep, deep sickness running amok in the right wing base.
