Some video just came out of a Jewish guy wrestling with one of the gunmen...
He wrested the gun away, and then tried to hit him with the gun (since he apparently didn't know what do with a gun). The gunman drew another gun and shot they guy and his wife; both died.
LOL...it already has...see my post on this from yesterday ;-)

I heard on radio this morning that Ahmed is a Christian. Bet no one would have guessed that.

He is muslim.

Probably. Granted, if he says he isn't, and that makes him an apostate, he could be executed.

OK. Thanks. Radio guy was wrong.

Do yourself a favor and change stations...NPR would be a good choice...

Not weird at all...if you've been paying attention over these last 5 years ;-)
There's a segment of the Open Forum population that experiences 'Cognitive Dissonance' on a regular basis...and I am often the cause of it with my fact-based posts. Should Cheeks make a habit of exposing such examples, then he too would experience similar reactions...IMO.
Guilty as charged...and proud to be among other recipients of 'Downvotes' on this Forum.
Indeed. I was being sarcastic, since you and Quest feigned being perplexed about this issue.
People just don't trust you, so you get downvotes to let you know that.
People may disagree with cheeks on certain issues, but they at least trust him.
Not sure how you can question my credibility when I've bent over backwards to provide substantive
support for my posts...and acknowledged on those very rare occasions when a supposition was in error (e.g. the exact timing of my Dad's B-17 crewmate's experience caddying for the Great Babe Ruth). In contrast, I've documented mistruths by others using their own posts...and encourage anyone to do the same with my posts if they believe I've erred. In the world I'm familiar with, that typifies "Credibility"...perhaps in yours, mere disagreement is all that required to accuse someone of lacking that quality.
Tyrone is agenda driven not truth driven. He has posted true things...but only because they happen
...to help advance his agenda at that point in time.
If his agenda requires it...he will favor falsehoods as he feels necessary...
What's wrong with an 'Agenda' of posting truthful statements...in opposition to mistruths?...
I posted early on in my residence here on the OF, that a major reason for joining was to utilize the expertise I had at hand (i.e. Physicians with specialties in Infectious Disease and Pulmonary/Critical Care) to provide truth to all the misinformation being spread during the COVID pandemic. Carrying on from that, I wanted to join others of like mind already here in dispelling untruths in many other areas that affect all of us.
I recognize that there are differences of opinion...which is why I've consistently encouraged others to Challenge me...for the sole purpose of getting to the Truth of all those issues...hopefully, in an adult, respectful manner...another challenge ;-).
No apologies needed...let's keep dialoging...
