One of America’s most famous country rock musicians excoriated President Obama for how he reacted publicly after what many believe to have been a terrorist attack in Chattanooga, Tenn., that left four Marines dead Thursday — a mass murder allegedly committed by a lone shooter.
Charlie Daniels, known for The Devil Went Down to Georgia and This Ain’t No Rag, It’s a Flag, took to Twitter Friday to share his thoughts on the shooting:
Daniels is originally from North Carolina but now makes his home in Mt. Juliet, Tenn. His tweets come after shooting suspect Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez was killed after temporarily evading law enforcement, having allegedly opened fire at a Navy recruitment center and then shooting at another military building nearby. Only a couple hours after the incident, The White House tweeted a statement from Obama acknowledging Eid al-Fir, a three-day celebration marking the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
“For millions of Muslims, the morning of Eid is marked with the call to prayer echoing through cities and towns across the globe,” Obama said. “Millions of people head to local mosques for special Eid prayers followed by festive gatherings, gift exchanges, and feasts among friends, neighbors and families.”
The diversity of traditions paint the vibrant images we see from around the world capturing the spirit and excitement of Eid – colorful dresses or white garments decorating the masses of people standing in lines for prayer, lanterns and ornaments lighting up bazaars and neighborhoods, intricate henna designs painted on hands of young girls and women, and an abundance of delectable foods and aromatic cuisines.
The White House also tweeted a video sharing Obama’s reaction to the incident shortly thereafter, but the president never referred to it as “terrorism” or a “terror attack.”
