The San Francisco Chronicle here makes the story all about how Assistant District Attorney Matthew Golde was so “racist” and “Islamophobic” as to mention that Dajon Ford had a Qur’an, a book on the psychology of terrorism, and a sawed-off rifle. But Golde rightly explained: “I brought out everything that was there and the judge made the decision, and the judge made the decision based on public safety.”

There is a controversy here because we are supposed to pretend at all times that the Qur’an and Islam have nothing whatsoever to do with violence and terrorism, and every Allahu-akbaring Muslim who goes on a stabbing spree or drives his car into a crowd of Infidels is mentally ill. Golde, by contrast, is being realistic, and is catching heat for it.
