ABC News: Islamic State Recruiter’s Link to Texas Shooting

39

The cowardly media wants to make this about me. It is not. No American is safe. Our freedom is the target.

It’s what I said in my TIME magazine article today — this is war and they are here. Obama is importing whole Muslim communities from jihad nations under “refugee resettlement” so how could this be unexpected?

Why aren’t the supposedly peaceful teachings of Islam that are supposedly taught at American mosques not able to withstand the jihadis’ appeal?

Story continues below advertisement

The imam to the jihadis claimed he was shocked — that they were gentle fellows. Are we just going to take his word for it? They could have learned their Islam at this mosque. There needs to be an investigation of what it is teaching.

Or are we supposed to believe that they learned Peaceful Islam at the mosque but were “radicalized on the Internet”?

Again, why aren’t the supposedly peaceful teachings of Islam that are supposedly taught at American mosques not able to withstand the jihadis’ appeal?

Garland
“ABC News Investigation Reveals Islamic State Recruiter’s Link to Texas Shooting,” The Blaze, May 6, 2016
One of the suspected shooters in the attack on a draw Muhammad contest in Garland, Texas, Sunday was in contact with an Islamic State recruiter who seemingly urged him to take action against organizers of the controversial event, an ABC News investigation found.

A recruiter for the terror group known as “Miski” online — federal law-enforcement officials said his real name is Muhammad Hassan, an American who fled Minneapolis in 2009 to work with terror groups in Africa — made contact with Elton Simpson months before Sunday’s attack, according to ABC News.

Simpson tweeted in late-April about the Muhammad drawing event, asking, “When will they ever learn?”

Miski quickly responded.

“Where are the warriors of this Ummah [community]?” he asked, adding, “The brothers from the Charlie Hebdo attack did their part. It’s time for brothers in the #US to do their part.”

Just two days later, Miski responded to another Simpson tweet, writing him, “One individual is able to put a whole nation onto it’s [sic] knees.”

Eight days later Simpson and his roommate Nadir Soofi were shot and killed by a police officer after firing gunshots outside the draw Muhammad contest.

On Tuesday, the Islamic State official claimed responsibility for the attack, saying in an audio statement that “two soldiers of the Caliphate” carried it out.

Yes I agree with the Navy seal man, Bob O’Neil, who killed
the master mind of 9-11, Usama Bin Laden, that this in-your-face Art Contest
should never have been done. He said there is no reason to insult, purposely, Muslims.
That said from as patriot of an American as you can get from the Naval Seal man
who shot that stinking terrorist. leader

I assume you are also in favor of murdering gays, raping uncovered women, enslaving non-Muslims captured in battle, banning all artwork, smashing the vestiges of any pre-Islamic civilizations, and murdering anyone who accidentally scratches a Quran. Appeasing craven quislings like yourself are despicable.

I don’t give a damn what Rob O’Neill thinks about this. Yes, he shot Bin Laden. What did that do overall to quell the global jihad? Not much, as I predicted at the time.

Homosexuality offends all believing Muslims. Why make shows featuring gay characters? See, there is no Western response to attempted censoring but more speech. Ask cartoonist Molly Norris if more should be done to censure those advocating silence. Where does it end?

He is thinking about his field: security, and his character, which demands good manners. There is no real thought for those worldwide who cannot say the name Mohammed without getting stoned by a mob. AFDI is showing the next step, and a way to stand up to oppressors. They are oppressive, those who want shari’a and a world without religious offense.

He is a patriot, and one who will spend time in reflection on this over time, as I hope others do.

Yesterday, Joe the local grocer, and a true American patriot said “screw those attackers in Garland Texas, glad they are dead”
Now, Joe knows a good melon from a bad melon, just by giving it a knock.
Because of his unique knocking capabilities, I choose to believe in Joe the grocer, who has never been known to sell a bad melon.
At least 10 Seals, have claimed to be the one who shot bin Laden.
Someone is lying, and it sure isn’t Joe the Grocer.

HOORAY FOR PAMELA GELLER! SHE HAS THE RIGHT STORY TO TELL AND DUMB AMERICANS NEED TO LISTEN TO HER.
CHECK LUKE 22:36 TO LEARN WHAT JESUS SAID ABOUT BEING A DUMB PERSON TO ALLOW ANYONE TO THREATEN ANOTHER ONE.
LUKE 22:36 SAYS TO SELL YOUR CLOTHING AND ANYTHING ELSE TO “PURCHASE A SWORD”. http://biblehub.com/luke/22-36.htm

PUT JESUS’S COMMENT TO DEFEND AND FIGHT AGAINST EVIL USING A SWORD IN PAMELA’S QUILL, YOU DUMB, STUPID, AMERICANS.

OK! If Pamela Geller is wrong then ALL DUMB STUPID AMERICANS in Dearborn Michigan are WRONG TOO.
THE sadist SICKLAM members STONE CHRISTIANS in Dearborn, Michigan and that story NEVER made the MSM news cycle did it ?

LET THE MSM JERKS ON FOX KNOW ABOUT DEARBORN AND OTHER AREAS IN AMERICAN WHERE THE “SICKLAM” IDIOTS TERRORIZE ‘INFIDELS’ ALL DAY LONG AND NO ONE SAYS ANYTHING TO THEM…. BECAUSE DUMB AMERICANS ARE COWARDS AND WILL KISS THE BOOTS OF THEIR OPPRESSORS. THANK OUR MILITARY MEMBERS FOR GIVING THEIR LIVES TO PROTECT “FREE SPEECH” THAT ALLOWS THE DUMB AMERICANS TO BE JERKS ABOUT THEIR FREEDOM ‘RIGHTS’.

To understand Islam we need to look at the most primitive organisational state of mankind – Tribalism.

If we regard the Ummah as a tribe, and the Koran, the Pedophile and the Black Meteorite as the tribe’s three main totems, we begin to get a better understanding of Islam. A tribe derives its identity and unity by displays of reverence towards supernatural totems, and feels insecure and threatened whenever the power of its totems is weakened, for example by the totems being ‘humiliated’ or ‘polluted’ . One of the surest ways of demoralising a tribe has always been to desecrate its totems.

This explains the rage at the Motoons, and the ‘hate crimes’ of the Korans being burned or put down the toilet, and the ban on kuffars entering the precinct of the holy meteorite.

Tribal culture and psychology are difficult for civilized people to understand. Most parts of Europe have not been organised tribally since the Dark Ages, so it’s difficult to get inside Muslim mind and understand just how primitive and benighted are the psychological processes that go on there. For example:

– A tribe regards itself as perpetually at war with all other tribes – hence the Muslim worldview of Dar a-Harb in conflict with Dar al-Islam, and Ummah in conflict with Kaffir.

– The property and women of other tribes are there for the taking. Might is right – hence the Jizya, Razzia, pedophile sex-slaving etc which are all justified by the Koran.

– The ethics of reciprocity (do as you would be done by) only apply within the tribe. Hence the lack of any Golden Rule in Islam. The nearest you get to the Golden Rule in the Koran is desiring for your brother Muslim (‘kin-selection’) what you desire for yourself – in other words share out the booty equally.

– Loyalty to the tribe is of paramount importance – hence the punishment by death for apostates.

– The tribe must not mingle with other tribes or else it may lose its identity – hence the self-imposed ghettoization and ethnic cleansing of Kaffirs from the periphery of the ghetto as seen in Western cities.

– There is a great desire to destroy or humiliate the totems of other tribes – hence the constant attacks on Churches.

Muslims in the modern world are living fossils, though like dinosaurs suddenly set down on the streets of New York, none the less dangerous for being so primitive. Islam appeals to the lowest and basest instincts of man, and in the absence of a strong, confident modern culture will gradually reduce its host society to a dysfunctional state of anarchy where Islam can gain the upper hand.

Tribalism makes it impossible to defeat Islam by reason or appeals to decency. The Koran, the Pedophile and the Meteorite are not capable of being examined rationally or ethically – they are pre-rational symbols of tribal cohesion. And when that tribe is on a roll , and believes itself to be the strongest and fastest growing tribe winning the Jihad against all the rest, no rational argument will persuade its warriors to abandon the winning side.

In addition, the snowball effect of Islam’s continuing success attracts converts, who also want to be on the winning side, and demoralises Islam’s Judeo-Christian opponents, leading to defeatism and appeasement. As Osama bin Laden said, if people have to choose between going with the strong horse or the weak horse, they will choose the strong horse.

That’s how Mohamed conquered first: denigrating other idols until kabaa only allowed holy rock. See Satanic Verses. They had to be eliminated.

Great insight, I’m glad I took the time to read your comment. But one thing I will add, as long as Islam exists, the world will be at war. It’s is responsible for the dark ages, and seeks to bring all of humanity under it’s control. To the end that once they killed off all oposition, they will kill themselves off to see who is the last man standing.

The fact of the matter is… ADHERE TO YOUR PLEDGES to defend America’s LAW, it’s called ALLEGIANCE isn’t it ? Remember “I pledge allegiance etc etc.

The “USEFUL IDIOTS” in America will certainly lose their free speech rights because they are NOT fighting to keep them at all.

The NAZI party, KKK, and more strange organizations are equally taking part in their 1st amendment rights, aren’t they?

The older generation in this country is abhorred with the stupidity of the “USEFULL IDIOTS” in America today. It is those who would give their freedom up to be PC oriented.

GET THIS FACT NOW! GET IT STRAIGHT TOO!

AMERICA IS A LAND OF “TOLERANCE” AND THE EVIL ONES WHO FOLLOW SOME GUY WHO WAS A RAPIST, AND AN IDIOT WHO HAD A FLYING HORSE NEED TO LEARN ‘TOLERANCE’ OR get THE THE HELL OUT OF AMERICA NOW.

The EVIL book says that if one cannot live in a land and obey its laws then THEY have to leave that land and go where they can be able to get their 72 virgins. That EVIL BOOK was burned by Terry Jones… praises to Terry Jones and Pamela… they are FORCING the INTOLERANT to LEARN TOLERANCE the American’s social mandate.

Ah pammy, you don’t look like your picture on this site. Your face in reality is all lumpy and lopsided. I guess too much plastic surgery, huh?

And you must be soooooo proud that you were the inspiration for the guy in Norway who murdered 77 people, mostly high school students. Again, you must be so proud.

Did you cream your pants the other night when you heard the gunshot? I know you were disappointed that none of the attendees or the off-duty police officers were shot and killed. Oh well, you can’t win them all, can you?

Honey, you’re just the other side of the coin of hate with the two terrorists who died Sunday on the other side of the coin, dear. You’re just a hater monger, plain and simple.

As a non-Mormon, I have many problems with your religion. Obviously, the way to initiate a dialogue with you is to make fun of Brigham Young or Joseph Smith, correct?

See how stupid that is? No one says we should stop drawing cartoons but what is gained by offending all Muslims? Even Muslims who may be friendly to our cause will be offended by insulting someone who they consider holy.

As I point out in another post, if Geller wants to force the freedom of speech issue, she should start by going down south and have a conference to invite people to make fun of Robert E. Lee or Stonewall Jackson. We will soon see how tolerant Southern Christians can be.

Are all Muslims offended?
You are guilty of banding all Muslims into one group, like the old “all Muslims are terrorists”
I don’t believe that all Muslims are offended by cartoons depicting Mo.
Why should Muslims be given a pass, and not all be given a pass?
Ban all cartoons, as they are always aimed at some segment of society or thought.
God forbid that we should hurt the sensitivities of someone else.
Geller, is quite clear, that she opposes violent jihad, and that brutal, rights denying Sharia law.
As I too, am against the both, I support her 100%, and over 90% of Americans oppose the two.
Muslims use Sharia’s blasphemy laws as the basis for their imposing their cruel punishments on anyone, who depicts their perverted prophet.
You can ask her if she would like to join you in your demonstrations in the South, as I can not answer for her.
By the way, do you support violent jihad, and that brutal, rights denying Sharia law in any form?

It was a stupid event that only proves that Muslims kill. We already know that.

Go into a black ghetto and have all the same white artist start making stupid pictures of Al Sharpton the racist, just to revile up the locals. You know the results. They’ll be a riot or a body count or both. This was not an exercise of free speech. In short, it was pure stupid. I wrote Miss Pamela an e-mail a few months ago; not do do this because there could be death. And that’s what happened. DEATH, that could of been others that were not Muslim. Thank God for a Texan Traffic cop.

All I get is score cards from this site that more or less says:
Score “One art contest event – two dead Muslims.

Should we lay odds on the score of the next Pamela Geller art contest?

Yes we know that Islam is a false religion of death; you don’t have to prove it.

Exactly. This was a stupid event. When even Fox commentators are against this, you know this was one supremely moronic move.

For a follow-up, Geller should visit Utah and make fun of Joseph Smith or Brigham Young. We can then see how tolerant the Mormons can be.

Or how about going down south making fun of Robert E. Lee or Stonewall Jackson?

That would call for true courage. But drawing cartoons? This is just a circus and Geller is the chief clown.
