The Man Who Attacked a Church in Tennessee

You may recall that when President Trump imposed his travel ban against six countries, opponents claimed that nobody from those nations had ever launched an attack against Americans on American soil.

Meet Emanuel Kidega Samson from Sudan.

Yesterday, Samson opened fire on a  church in Antioch, Tennessee killing one woman and wounding six. I should note that Samson is apparently not a Muslim since he had reportedly attended this church at some point in the past according to reports. Whether he is a recent convert to Islam is not known. As yet, we don't know the reason for the attack. The FBI is involved in the investigation, which indicates that terrorism has not been ruled out. Since Samson is Sudanese and Sudan is a predominantly Muslim country, that probably explains the FBI's involvement.

So we will await the results of the investigation, but one of the arguments against Trump's travel ban just went out the window.
