Anybody can say "Allahu Akbar"...  so we should not jump to conclusions about the religion of the attacker or his motivations.  

Please folks... let's show that we are open minded and not bigoted.... narrow minded thinkers fueled by stereotypes and right wing hatred.

 

Well, these things didn't happen before Trump:P

RAMADAN JIHAD COMES TO WISCONSIN AND MICHIGAN

 

Ramadan is in full swing – it doesn’t end until Saturday evening – and Britain has been a particular recipient of Islamic piety during the holy month, with major jihad attacks in Manchester and London. But now the United States has been included in the multicultural festivities, as jihadis have struck, albeit with limited results, in Wisconsin and Michigan.
A Taliban spokesmen recently said: “Our fight is Jihad and an obligatory worship. And every obligatory act of worship has 70 times more reward in Ramadan.” Not just the Taliban believe that. Another likely believer in those special Ramadan rewards is a Muslim in Milwaukee named Mohamad Hamdan.
Last Thursday, according to Fox6Now.com, Hamdan walked into the U.S. Courthouse in downtown Milwaukee and “began yelling loudly in an Arabic language,” screaming, among other things, “Muhammad,” “Allah,” and “jihad.” According to the criminal complaint against him, he suddenly put his hand into his pocket, which “caused security to fear for their immediate safety.” Hamdan had apparently imbibed well the Qur’an’s command to “strike terror in the enemy of Allah and your enemy and others besides them whom you do not know whom Allah knows.” (Qur’an 8:60)
And he wasn’t finished striking terror in the enemy of Allah. Escorted out of the building by a U.S. Marshal, Hamdan resumed screaming in Arabic, and said in English: “I’m gonna kill you all. Allah. Bomb.”:snip:

10 killed in complex car bomb, shooting attack in Egypt’s Sinai

Suicide bomber rams vehicle into checkpoint in southern Rafah, followed by heavy gunfire from dozens of masked fighters; army claims 40 terrorists killed

Ashraf Sweilam

July 7, 2017

 

EL-ARISH, Egypt (AP) — Islamic terrorists unleashed a suicide car bomb and heavy gunfire on an Egyptian military checkpoint in northeastern Sinai Peninsula on Friday, leaving 10 security troops including a special forces colonel dead and wounding at least 20, authorities said. The officials said the blitz attack began when a suicide car bomber rammed his vehicle into a checkpoint at a military compound in the southern Rafah village of El-Barth, followed by heavy gunfire from dozens of masked fighters on foot.

 

The dead included a high ranking special forces officer, Col. Ahmed el-Mansi, and at least 20 others were wounded in the attack. Ambulance sirens were heard from a distance as they rushed to the site. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak to the media. On his official Facebook page, Army spokesman Tamer el-Rifai confirmed the attack and said that 26 army personnel were killed or injured in the attack, without providing a breakdown. He also said the army foiled attacks targeting a number of other checkpoints in southern Rafah and that 40 assailants were killed.

 

No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack. However, Egypt in recent years has been battling a stepped-up insurgency in northern Sinai, mainly by figthers from an Islamic State group affiliate. Security officials said the militants arrived at the site of the checkpoint — located in a remote, deserted area — in some 24 Land Cruiser SUVs. The militants opened fire on the soldiers with machine guns for nearly half an hour, they said. The force at the compound is estimated at 60 troops. After the attack, the attackers looted the checkpoint, taking weapons and ammunition. It was unclear if they took over armored vehicles as well.

Jerusalem's Temple Mount Shut Down After 5 Dead in 'Allahu Akbar' Terror Attack

 

Early Friday morning, three Arab citizens of Israel attacked Israeli police on the Temple Mount, killing two. This led Israeli security forces to close Jerusalem's holiest site for Jews and Muslims, sparking outrage as Muslims intended to worship there on their holy day, Friday.
"We cannot allow for agents of murder, who desecrate the name of God, to drag us into a bloody war, and we will deal with a heavy hand against all the arms of terror, and its perpetrators," Israeli President Reuven Rivlin said in a statement. "The state of Israel will defend its sovereignty and its citizens with a strong hand, and will not allow anyone to provoke the region into a bloody war."

2 German tourists stabbed to death at Egyptian beach resort

Four others wounded when knife-wielding assailant sneaked into Red Sea hotel, seeking to attack foreigners

By Agencies

July 15, 2017

 

CAIRO — Two German female tourists were stabbed to death while four other foreigners were wounded in an attack Friday at a hotel in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Hurghada, an Egyptian security official said. The assault came just hours after a shooting near some of Egypt’s most famous pyramids outside of Cairo killed five policemen.

The motive behind the stabbing was unclear and the Interior Ministry said the attacker at the Red Sea resort was arrested immediately. “We don’t know his motives yet, he could be crazy or perturbed — it’s too early to tell,” a senior interior ministry official told AFP. 

Berlin confirmed the two women were German nationals. “We can now sadly confirm that two German tourists died in the attack at Hurghada,” a foreign ministry statement said. A security official said the attacker, a man in his 20s dressed in a black T-shirt and jeans, wielded a knife and intentionally sought to attack foreigners.

“Stay away, I don’t want Egyptians,” the assailant had said in Arabic during the attack, according to the official.

Arab League scolds Israel for Temple Mt. closure, failing to mention attack

After 2 policemen killed by terrorists, League chief accuses Jerusalem of handling sensitive site with ‘carelessness’

By Times of Israel staff

July 15, 2017

 

The Arab League has condemned Israel for its closure of the Temple Mount following a terror attack near the holy site.

Arab League Secretary General Ahmed Aboul Gheit said in a statement on Friday that Israel’s “banning Palestinians from praying” will only “inflame extremism and escalate tension” in the region.

He stressed “the high sensitivity of issues related to religious places,” and chastised Israel for handling the situation with “carelessness.”

The statement made no mention of the cause of the temporary closure — a terror attack earlier in the day that claimed the lives of two Israeli police officers.

France Under Martial Law

Steven Hayward

August 9 2017

 

Over at PJ Media, Patrick Poole is following the story that broke this morning in Paris of a car that rammed and injured several French military personnel. The driver, who fled the scene, was subsequently arrested, though as of this writing his identity has not been revealed. But French authorities are describing it as a “terror attack,” which means we can expect that CNN will say that “we don’t know the motive” until we get the recording of the driver yelling “Allahu akbar,” after which CNN will recycle another Russia story.

Worth paying attention to one key phrase in an early Sky News report about the incident:

A search is also ongoing for the dark-coloured vehicle which is said to have been driven at speed at the troops as they left their barracks to go on patrol. (Emphasis added.)

Wait—French army troops on patrol in Paris? Yes: France has been officially under a “state of emergency” since the Charlie Hebdo attack in January 2015. On any given day, up to 10,000 French military personnel are guarding every Jewish synagogue and merchant location in the entire country, as well as popular tourist locations. It’s called “Operation Sentinelle,” and you don’t need to be fluent in French to comprehend the title.

Suicide car bombing at north Iraq market kills 23

Nov. 21 2017

 

At least 23 people have been killed and 60 others wounded in a suicide car bomb attack in Iraq, security sources say.

The blast ripped through a crowded fruit and vegetable market in the centre Tuz Khurmatu, about 160km (100 miles) north of Baghdad.

The sources said the number of dead was likely to rise because many of the wounded were in a critical condition.

No group said it was behind the attack, but it bore the hallmarks of previous bombings by so-called Islamic State.

Car rams into pedestrians in Melbourne; 19 injured

trevor marshallsea, associated press

SYDNEY — Dec 21, 2017

Australian police said there is no evidence of a terrorist link to a car ramming attack Thursday in central Melbourne that left 19 people injured.

Police said the driver was a 32-year-old Australian citizen of Afghan decent who has a known history of drug use and mental health issues. The man was known to police for historical minor assault and traffic offenses.

"We don't at this time have any evidence or any intelligence to indicate there's a connection with terrorism," said Victoria state police acting commissioner Shane Patton.

The streets outside the city's iconic Flinders Street railway station were crowded with Christmas shoppers late Thursday afternoon when a white Suzuki SUV ran a red light and sped up to slam into pedestrians crossing the road before crashing into a traffic barrier.

Ahmed-Amin-El-Mafti.sized-770x415x0x725x

 

Multiple law enforcement agencies are investigating a shooting spree in Pennsylvania's state capital of Harrisburg earlier today.

According to the area district attorney, it appears there were three sites where 51-year-old Ahmed Amin El-Mofty intentionally engaged police. One Pennsylvania State Trooper was injured.

 

(Snip)

 

The suspect was eventually shot and killed by police. Possible explosives were found on his body, which a bomb squad had to render inert.

 

El-Mofty has been identified as a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Turkey.

He had reportedly recently taken a trip to the Middle East.

Perhaps related, ISIS supporter Jalil Aziz was sentenced to 12 years in prison today in Harrisburg.

It Is Christmas Eve, and Christians Are Being Murdered

John Hinderaker

December 24, 2017

The Associated Press reports:

"Hundreds of Muslim demonstrators attacked an unlicensed church south of Cairo wounding three people, an Egyptian Coptic Christian diocese said on Saturday, in the latest assault on members of the country’s Christian minority."

“Unlicensed”? More on that later.

"The incident took place after Friday prayers when dozens of demonstrators gathered outside the building and stormed it."

Violent attacks on Christians usually take place on Friday evening, when Muslims stream out of mosques, having been incited to violence by imams. No such phenomenon exists with other religions. Note that the AP calls the attackers “demonstrators.”

"The demonstrators chanted hostile slogans and called for the church’s demolition, the diocese in Atfih said. The demonstrators destroyed the church’s contents and assaulted Christians inside before security personnel arrived and dispersed them."

Why was this church “unlicensed”?

(Snip)

The Sun broadens the focus a bit, noting that “Christmas church services around the world are being held under the gaze of armed guards after a string of bloody attacks on defenceless worshippers.”

This man is guarding St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Karachi:

Islamic State claims its men planted bomb at St. Petersburg supermarket

Thomas Joscelyn

December 29 2017

The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the Dec. 27 bombing that wounded 13 people in St. Petersburg, Russia. The explosion was quickly labeled an act of terrorism by Russian officials.

Russian President Vladimir Putin described it as “terrorist attack” the following day, adding that he had instructed the Federal Security Service (FSB) to detain those responsible if possible. But Putin also gave the go ahead to use deadly force if security personnel or other lives were threatened.

The bomb maker reportedly packed the device with shrapnel in order to maximize civilian casualties. An “explosive device stuffed with striking elements was detonated in the Gigant-Hall entertainment center on the first floor near self-storage lockers of the Perekrestok supermarket” on St. Petersburg’s Kondratyevsky Avenue, according to the Russian news agency TASS.

Earlier today (two days after the blast), the Islamic State claimed via its Amaq News Agency and in another statement that its “covert unit” or “detachment” placed and detonated the device in “Crusader” Russia.

* St. Petersburg has been targeted by jihadists throughout the year. Earlier this month, the Trump administration revealed that intelligence collected by the US had been shared with Russian authorities in order to thwart a planned attack inside the city.

Radical Muslim High School Students Assault Christian Peers In Kenya

Jacob Airey

January 31, 2018

Radical Muslim high school students led an assault against 35 of their Christian peers at a high school in Nairobi, Kenya on Tuesday. Any student who refused to convert to Islam was stabbed, slashed with machetes, or beaten.

Tensions had been building for months, forcing the staff at Jamhuri High School, a boarding school in the African country, to segregate the Christian and Muslim students into separate bathrooms, according to a Morning Star News report.

Islamic students claimed that the school was discriminating against them, leading to the assault on Tuesday, January 23rd.

The incident began when Muslim students began shouting at their classmates before they began their assault, trying to force the Christians to convert with threats of violence. If the Christians students refused, they were stabbed and beaten.

One student spoke with Morning Star News on the condition of anonymity out of fear for his life.

Teacher tried to create 'army of children' to launch terror attacks in London

Mar. 2 2018

LONDON (Reuters) - A British supporter of Islamic State was found guilty on Friday of trying to recruit children he was teaching into an“army” of jihadists to help carry out a wave of attacks across London.

Umar Haque, 25, showed the children beheading videos and other violent militant propaganda, forced them to re-enact deadly attacks on the British capital and made them role-play attacking police officers.

“His plan was to create an army of children to assist with multiple terrorist attacks throughout London,” said Dean Haydon, head of the Metropolitan Police’s Counter Terrorism Command.“He tried and he did, we believe, radicalize vulnerable children from the ages of 11 to 14.”

Despite having no qualifications and being employed as an administrator, police say Haque used the guise of teaching Islamic studies to groom 110 children into becoming militants at the Lantern of Knowledge, a small private Islamic school, and at a madrassa connected to the Ripple Road Mosque in east London

Jihadist Teen Was Investigated by Police before Fatally Stabbing Friend at Sleepover

Jack Crowe

March 14, 2018

A Florida teen responsible for fatally stabbing a 13-year-old boy and injuring two others in a jihadi-inspired attack Monday had previously come to the attention of authorities for his interest in extremist online content.

Corey Johnson, 17, told the police he read the Koran  “to give him courage” before going on the violent rampage during a sleepover at a friend’s home, and admitted that the attack was motivated by his “Muslim faith.” He confessed to fatally stabbing the boy and attacking two others, and is being charged with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder.

The FBI, Jupiter police, and Palm Beach County School District police had previously investigated Johnson after learning of his “violent tendencies” through “intelligence gathering,” according to the Palm Beach Post. The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office apparently received information that Johnson had made attempts to connect with ISIS recruiters online and expressed a desire to join the terror group. The Sheriff’s office responded by tracking Johnson’s social-media accounts and whereabouts.
