The Left is so utterly predictable

By Donald Sensing

It's so easy to be correct when predicting what the Left will do or say. Earlier this week I left a comment at American Digest on the topic of the slaughter of the young British soldier on a London street, done by two Muslims who openly boasted to a passerby's running smartphone video that "you will never be safe" from future attacks. The post with video is here.

In my comment there, I wrote,

The attackers' motives are unclear. They are clearly disillusioned youth who are the victims of a racist British social structure. They have been marginalized from decent jobs. While none of us can condone or excuse this terrible killing, we must not fall into Islamophobic, simplistic explanations that merely serve to further oppress the people who are also at-risk immigrant community members. 
... Just thought I'd save you the trouble of reading the Leftwing commentary that will be coming soon.
It did not take long for London's mayor to utter the utterly predictable:
On his Twitter account, London Mayor Boris Johnson called the murder of a British soldier by two Muslims, “a sickening, deluded and unforgivable act of violence.”

Boris Johnson has said the blame for the brutal murder of a soldier in Woolwich lies with the ‘warped mind-set’ of his killers. ‘One obvious point, it is completely wrong to blame this killing on Islam.’
So Boris, why don't you drop by and ask the killers whether they think they acted in the name of Islam?
