Since 9/11, there have been quite a few cases of what could be called “instant jihad syndrome” here in the United States. The main stream media has carefully ignored this string of Muslim violence and murders. Even the FBI is anxious to tell us, after each such event, that this is not terrorism.
But if the following is not terrorism, what is?
- Febuary, 2007, Sulejman Talovic, an 18-year-old Bosnian Muslim immigrant, opened fire in a Salt Lake City shopping mall and managed to methodically murder five and wound four others with a shotgun. According to the Salt Lake Tribune, Talovic attended Friday prayers at a mosque about a block from the mall.
- A 30-year-old Muslim man, Naveed Afzal Haq, went on a shooting rampage at a Jewish community center in Seattle, announcing "I'm a Muslim-American; I'm angry at Israel."
- An Egyptian national, Hesham Mohamed Hadayet, murdered two and wounded three at an Israeli airline ticket counter at LAX.
- A bearded 21-year-old student, Joel Hinrichs, blew himself up with a backpack filled with TATP (the explosive of choice in the Mideast) outside a packed Oklahoma University football stadium not long after he started attending the local mosque.
- A 23-year-old student, Mohammed Ali Alayed, slashed the throat of his Jewish friend in Houston after apparently undergoing a religious awakening (he went to a local mosque afterward).
- The D.C. snipers — John Muhammad and Lee Malvo, both black Muslim converts — picked off 13 people in the suburbs around the Beltway as part of what Muhammad described as a "prolonged terror campaign against America" around the first anniversary of 9/11, which he had praised.
- Omeed Aziz Popal of Fremont, Calif., hit and killed a bicyclist there then took his SUV on a hit-and-run spree in San Francisco, mowing down pedestrians at crosswalks and on sidewalks before police caught up with him, whereupon the Muslim called himself a "terrorist."
- A 22-year-old Muslim, Ismail Yassin Mohamed, stole a car in Minneapolis and rammed it into other cars before stealing a van and doing the same, injuring drivers and pedestrians, while repeatedly yelling, "Die, die, die, kill, kill, kill" — all, he said, on orders from "Allah."
- A Nashville cabbie made anti-Semitic statements and praised Adolph Hitler’s campaign against Jews during a religious argument that culminated when he ran over one of the passengers as he left the taxi, witnesses said during a hearing today. The cab driver, Ibrahim Ahmed, said Hitler was “trying to rid the world of Jews,” the alleged victim, Jeremie Imbus, told the court.
- A 22-year-old Iranian honors student, Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar, deliberately rammed his SUV into a crowd at the University of North Carolina to "punish the government of the United States" for invading Iraq and other Muslim nations.
You can add to this list the recent plans to murder soldiers at Fort Dix as well as an unknown number of additional jihadist plans uncovered and stopped by the FBI.
The terrorists are here and determined to kill us -- unfortunately, our leaders and the media are just as determined to ignore that fact.
This should be required to be broadcast on TV regularly:
