Sulejman Talovic's Salt Lake City Murder Spree Was An Act Of Jihad

San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Facts have emerged in this case which prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the Bosnian Muslim immigrant's rampage at a Utah shopping mall, killing five people is a textbook study of a jihadist attack.

Just a day before the murders Talovic told his 17 year old Bosnian girlfriend Monika, with whom he had discussed marriage plans that he was involved in a dark plot.

"Something is going to happen tomorrow that you'll never be able to forgive me about" Talovic's girlfriend told the Salt Lake Times adding that "It was supposed be the happiest day of his life and that it could only happen once in a lifetime." [source Trolley Shooting: Even to the girl he loved, Talovic a mystery to the end, http://www.sltrib.com/news/ci_5431036] Monica also revealed a "vision" that Talovic had while in Bosnia:

"One evening, "as the sun was falling," Talovic heard a horse outside of his family's home in Bare, where they lived after they left Talovici. He walked out and, standing before him was a white horse "with two beautiful eyes," he told Monika. 'And he said, 'Look,' and his aunt [who was also outside] couldn't see it there,'' Monika said. It was at that moment she knew he was a "good-souled" person.

''He thought of it as only 'good-souled people' could see happiness and goodness,'' she said."

Two of these points are extremely significant in understanding Talovic's motivation; his statement that the mall attack would be his "happiest day" and the invocation of the "white horse" motif, as both are tied to Islamic thinking regarding jihad.

According to the The West Point Combatting Terrorism Center's section on Islamic imagery, the meaning of the white horse symbol is directly related to jihad: ....

Contrary to claims made by Talovic's family, his girlfriend stated that he had a contact at the local mosque, which is located immediately adjacent to the scene of Sulejman's carnage.
"I don't know if he was his friend, but he liked to talk to him" she said. They only saw each other at services in the mosque. They only saw each other like three or four times."
Sulejman's father's continued insistence that someone put his son up to the killings [while denying his son's had any friends at the mosque] seem to be an effort to shield the Al Noor Masjid from law enforcement scrutiny

"According to the The West Point Combatting Terrorism Center's section on Islamic imagery, the meaning of the white horse symbol is directly related to jihad:

"The white horse is inextricably tied to conceptions of the prophet, martyrdom, and paradise (heaven). It is most often associated with the Prophet Muhammad's miraj or night journey to heaven, when the Prophet ascended to heaven on the back of a white horse...."

I read the rest of the article and I was shocked to think that perhaps the cruel and conquering one described in Revelation 6 was Mohammed....

Now please, don't reply in naughty ways to me if this seems stupid to you.
I think it is a possibility.

Thanks.

I wasn't familiar with 'Pipeline News", so was pleasantly surprised to see their included sourcing, with links.

Nothing we weren't already pretty sure of, but it is nice to see credible corroboration.

Too bad the MSM aren't going to let any of this see the light of day.

Every ten years or so a "right wing" nut goes postal. No connections to supremacist groups, no criminal record. Nothing except maybe some past mental issues.

Ah! But he's a "covert" lone wolf; an arm of the evangelical VRWC, say many of our elected self-appointed anointed ones and their GS ("it all counts toward 30") toadies.

"Wot?"

"The shooter was not a white American male.. PROFILING! Bigots!" scream the anointed ones.

"That's right your're doing a great job, Dhimmi! Keep on truckling!," the radical Muslims cheer.

Every ten years or so a "right wing" nut goes postal. No connections to supremacist groups, no criminal record. Nothing except maybe some past mental issues.

Even if there were some connection to supremacist groups, as a rule those groups do not issue weekly press releases threatening the entire world population...

The comparison is always ludricrous.

Actually, that's fascinating bp7!

Well, they would first have to be able to read and write in order to do that.

Sounds like a "get laid" line used by teenage mohammedan males.
