In the video, Wilson suggested Americans have an 'addiction to divisiveness' and must 'accept people’s imperfections and differences' The Sugar Bowl , of which Allstate is the official corporate sponsor, was postponed to Thursday due to the attack.

The outlet asked Muslims , or “ Crusaders ,” if they felt safe in their homes as their brothers and sisters were in detention centers and camps before calling on them to “repeat the attack on them and repeat the days of those who preceded you on this path.” The attack in New Orleans comes nearly two weeks after a suspected terror attack on a Christmas market in Germany ..
