Surprise, surprise, the terrorist was Muslim

Of course the terrorist was Muslim

I saw on the news that a crazed Presbyterian drove a truck into throngs of holiday goers and merrymakers celebrating Bastille Day on the Promenade Anglais in Nice, France, killing and maiming hundreds.

What's that you say? It was actually a Muslim named Mohammed? Who knew? Who could have guessed?

Does President Obama know that this hate-filled killer wasn't named Pierre or Johann or Gerhardt or William or Silvio? Somebody please tell him right away.
