There are several “laws” such as Godwin’s Law. Godwin’s Law is named after American lawyer and author, Mike Godwin, and postulates the longer a discussion on the Internet goes, the chance that one of the participants will compare someone or something to Hitler or the Nazis increases. A new and similar law is needed; perhaps it could be called “Ortiz’ Law.” Ortiz’ Law would hypothesize that the longer a person discusses Islamic terrorism, the more certain it will be that that person will say the act or acts in question have absolutely nothing to do with Islam. No, no, no.
After a federal jury in Boston sentenced Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to death, the US Attorney on the case, Carmen Ortiz made a fairly lengthy statement to the media. As she went on and on and on, it was inevitable she would say something to the effect that the terrorist act committed by Tsarnaev and his late brother had absolutely nothing to do with Islam or Muslims. And she did not disappoint.
