The Thursday cover of the New York Post tabloid identified the two dead suspects in the mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., as “MUSLIM KILLERS.”
The New York tabloid is well known for salacious covers, including a screengrab from the body camera of a shooter who killed two Virginia journalists on air in August and an image of the execution of journalist James Foley by an Islamic State militant in 2014.
Here’s The Post’s cover:

We know they have names from the middle east, but do we know they were Muslim?
Meh. Muslim killers in CA, Christian killers in CO.
Ho-hum.
Bush & Cheney were also Muslim killers.
Way bigger body count though.
Let the deflection from the real problem begin.
Ooooh my! Muslims! Foreign names! Gotta get that out there ASAP. Anything to muddy the issue.
Cue another ass full of thoughts and prayers from lawmakers who have no intention of taking any action on this.
Watch NRA lobbyists keep the CDC from responding to a plea from 2,000 physicians to at least study the epidemic. Fat effen chance. The NRA is not about to fall to the same tactics that led to restrictions on tobacco.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas for the gun industry. 187,000 background checks on Black Friday.
MUSLIM KILLERS!*
Who had free and legal access to weapons and body armor designed for war*
**Ignore this and let’s just focus on MUSLIM KILLERS!
