Parents of People Killed by Muslim Hit Trump for Calling Murders Terrorism
Sure, he was screaming “Allahu akbar,” but who doesn’t?

The Trump administration recently released a list of terror attacks it said were unreported or underreported by the establishment media, and the parents of two of the victims of one of the listed attacks were enraged. Last August a Muslim named Smail Ayad, screaming “Allahu akbar,” stabbed two people to death in an Australian hostel. Not only was this not terrorism, we are supposed to believe, but President Trump is a terrible person for suggesting otherwise.
Rosie Ayliffe, the mother of 21-year-old victim Mia Ayliffe-Chung, wrote an open letter to Trump, declaring: “My daughter’s death will not be used to further this insane persecution of innocent people.” The Washington Post added helpfully that yes, “Smail Ayad had yelled ‘Allahu akbar’ during the attack,” but “he had also rambled incoherently, stabbed a dog and ‘was apparently infatuated with’ her daughter.”
In her open letter to President Trump, Ayliffe added: “I have spoken to friends of Mia’s and other backpackers who worked long days in the fields with Ayad, and none of them ever saw him put down a prayer mat. Salat or prayer is the second of five pillars of Islam, and calls for 5 daily rituals of ablution, prayer and prostration. An Islamic fundamentalist by definition must respect the five pillars of Islam. It would be very hard to imagine someone managing to perform this ritual five times a day in the close confines of Home Hill Hostel without witnesses….Any fool can shout Allahu Akbar as they commity [sic] a crime.”
