Expect more Afghan women to suffer, as they attempt to express their independence.

Oakland Police spokesman Roland Holmgren said police don’t have a motive for the killing, but it did not appear to be random.

Really? Just because the killer waited for that one specific target instead of killing everybody else in the area?

He also said it’s not clear whether the attack had anything to do with Bailey’s journalism work but investigators would be looking at that angle.

Early Friday police surrounded an Oakland eatery, Your Black Muslim Bakery, which Bailey reportedly had been researching before he was killed. 19 people have been detained after a yearlong investigation for violent crimes such as robbery, murder, and kidnapping.

It remained unclear whether the police activity was connected to the killing.

“All of those possibilities will have to be definitely explored and explored thoroughly,” he said.

Bailey was shot multiple times in daylight near the county courthouse, Holmgren said. Witnesses to the shooting were cooperating in the investigation, but there were no suspects yet, police said.

Holmgren said the weapon used was not a handgun, but he would not disclose the gun’s caliber.

Why is it that Islam and crime seem to go together like iced tea and summertime?

Sad, isn’t it? If the women are determined to end their (miserable) existence, I think it would probably be a good thing if they offed the husband/his family FIRST as an object lesson (and he’s gotta sleep sometime) and then shot themselves or slit their wrists to put themselves beyond the reach of Islamic justice. If those approximately 6 women a week who reach the hospitals did that instead (and one wonders about the numbers of women that were never brought to the hospitals) then I believe that would do more to raise consciousness than anything else.

I’ll say they did, did you hear that scolding Obama gave Mubarek? Imagine having nuclear weapons and having to listen to that crap.
