  • SUDDEN JIHAD SYNDROME IN AMERICA: Documented cases since 911

    11/22/2009 12:46:04 PM PST · by Jeff Head · 110 replies · 2,116+ views
    SUDDEN JIHAD SYNDROME (SJS): Sudden Jihad Sundrome is individual or small, un-attached groups of radicalized Islamics who decide to carry out Jihad, or Holy War, against those amongst whom they live. It usually involves a single person, but may include small groups, who are radicalized in their Mosques, their readings, their conversations, or otherwise, and who then decide on their own to wage war against those whom they live amongst. It is a very real and very dangerous occurance that a nation ignores, or tries to explain away with other politically correct or sociological explanations at their grave peril...

    On the face of things, these Jersey guys do look to have been serious conspirators - the very kind of homegrown jihadists that pose such a threat to America. These fellows had assault weapons. These fellows had a map of Fort Dix. And, we can divine from their tape-recorded plottings, they had very real intent to kill as many American troops as they could, Allah willing. So once more we thank our lucky stars for the due diligence of law enforcement people, who, it is announced, have shut down an armed attack on U.S. soil. This could have been pretty...

    Belgrade, 9 May (AKI) - The arrest of four ethnic Albanians, a Jordanian and a Turk in the United States on Tuesday on suspicion of planning a terrorist attack on the United States army base in Fort Dix, New Jersey, confirms the existence of a "white Al-Qaeda", Balkan terrorism expert Darko Trifunovic told Adnkronos International (AKI) on Wednesday. Trifunovic said the arrests showed "white Al-Qaeda at work." He compared the Fort Dix plot to a February attack in Salt Lake City when a Bosnian Muslim youth, Sulejman Talovic went on a shopping mall shooting rampage. Six people including Talovic were...

    The news that the Utah mall shooter Suleman (1) was Muslim and (2) was yelling "Allahu Akbar" as he went down has gradually came out. The police are "mystified" at a possible motive for the crime. I would like to compile a resource thread of Muslim attacks on US soil: names, dates, links, victims, etc., depicting a reality that the mass media will never admit: that Islamic terrorism is here, not just on 9-11. Maybe some of these crimes are random acts of violence (that is, not ideologically driven, the guy just flipped out), but then again, maybe they aren't....

The investigation into the Trolley Square shooting rampage Feb. 12 apparently is hinging on the unanswered question: why? Why did 18-year-old Sulejman Talovic go on a killing spree inside the crowded mall, killing five people and wounding four others before dying in a shootout with police? On Friday, Salt Lake City police said detectives have been reviewing their evidence, witness and survivor accounts to make sure everything is consistent. "They feel...

"I believe he accidentally blew himself up," Sgt. George Mauldin said. Mauldin said Hinrichs, 21, an engineering student, had two to three pounds of triacetone triperoxide, commonly known as TATP, in a backpack in his lap when it exploded Oct. 1. When asked if he believed Hinrichs meant to enter the stadium with the explosives, Mauldin replied, "I don't believe he intended for an explosion to occur at...

    "Individual Islamists may appear law-abiding and reasonable, but they are part of a totalitarian movement, and as such, all must be considered potential killers." I wrote those words days after September 11, 2001, and have been criticized for them ever since. But an incident on March 3 at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill suggests I did not go far enough. That was when a just-graduated student named Mohammed Reza Taheriazar, 22, and an Iranian immigrant, drove a sport utility vehicle into a crowded pedestrian zone.

    An actual terrorist attack upon its students did not elicit the same reaction from administrators at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill that other “hate crimes” of varying degrees of severity did. “Despite the nature of the attack, Taheri-azar’s own statements to police, and the items found in his apartment, many are objecting to efforts to label this an act of terrorism,” UNC-Chapel Hill junior Kris Wampler wrote in The Carolina Review. “And UNC is doggedly refusing to do so. ‘The fact is, this is not the university’s call,’ Chancellor James Moeser said. ‘The U.

U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke said Tuesday she agreed with claims made by defense attorneys that the indictment against Padilla and the others accused of aiding al Qaeda is "very light on facts" that would link the defendants to specific acts of terrorism or victims.

Authorities had increased patrols on Michigan's 5-mile-long Mackinac Bridge after local prosecutors said investigators believed the men were targeting the span. Local authorities didn't say what they believed the men intended to do with the phones, most of which were prepaid TracFones, but Caro's police chief noted that cell phones can be untraceable and used as detonators.

Well over half of New Yorkers and Washingtonians are worried their communities will be attacked again. Nationwide, a third worry they will be attacked.

About 4 p.m. on Friday, July 28, on the eve of the Jewish sabbath, a Muslim terrorist of Pakistani origins named Naveed Afzal Haq forced a 14-year-old girl to get him into the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle building by holding a gun to her back. He then pulled out the two large-caliber semi-automatic pistols he had just purchased and went on a murderous rampage. Haq killed one woman, Pam Waechter, 58, an assistant director at the federation, and injured five others, one...

    Pregnant Woman Recounts Shooting Rampage Wednesday August 9, 2006 3:01 AM By MARCUS FRANKLIN Associated Press Writer NEW YORK (AP) - Dayna Klein was writing thank you notes and making telephone calls in her office at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle when she heard what sounded like bubble wrap popping. When she also heard screaming and hurried footsteps, she got up from her desk and went to the office doorway and encountered a man holding a handgun. As he pointed the gun at the pregnant Klein, she reflexively covered her stomach with her left arm. The bullet pierced her...

    On July 28, 2006, a Muslim entered the building of the Seattle Jewish Federation and shot every Jew he saw, murdering one woman and wounding five others. On the same day, Mel Gibson was arrested on DUI charges and while intoxicated let loose with anti-Semitic invective at the Jewish police officer who arrested him. Question: Which story has most troubled the Left? The answer is known to any American who can hear or read. So, the real question is: Why? Why has the shooting and murder of Jews elicited less angst from the Left than the anti-Semitic statements made by...

    This past Friday, 30-year-old Naveed Afsal Haq, a supposedly lone and “mentally ill” Muslim-American of Pakistani origin, took a 13-year-old girl hostage in order to gain entry to the Jewish Federation Building in Seattle. Declaring himself “angry with Israel,” Haq announced that it was a “hostage” situation, and began shooting only women, including a pregnant woman. Five women were wounded and one, 58 year-old Pam Waechter, was murdered. Several other women were shot in the abdomen. Haq's brutal attack is no ordinary crime. It is the product of an Islamic culture that denigrates women in general and a jihadist culture...

    "Individual Islamists may appear law-abiding and reasonable, but they are part of a totalitarian movement, and as such, all must be considered potential killers.” I wrote those words days after 9/11 and have been criticized for them ever since. But an incident on March 3 at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill suggests I did not go far enough. That was when a just-graduated student named Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar, 22, and an Iranian immigrant, drove a sport utility vehicle into a crowded pedestrian zone. He struck nine people but, fortunately, none were severely injured. Until his would-be murderous...

    Mohammed Taheri-Azar Admits Trying To Injure Students HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. -- Mohammed Taheri-Azar, who admits trying to run over several students at the University of North Carolina campus, is scheduled to appear in an Orange County courtroom Wednesday for a bond hearing.

He also spends time writing 25-page letters to the media about why he carried out his attack. His most recent set of letters was addressed to the Daily Tar Heel. The 22-year-old said he feels "no...

    RALEIGH, N.C. -- The man who hit nine people with a sport utility vehicle on the University of North Carolina's Chapel Hill campus wrote a letter to a television reporter saying he read the Quran's 114 chapters 15 times and found that the Muslim holy book justified the attack. ''I did not act out of hatred for Americans, but out of love for Allah instead,'' Mohammed Taheri-azar, 22, wrote in a letter to Amber Rupinta dated March 10 posted on WTVD's Web site. Police say that just before lunchtime March 3, Taheri-azar drove a rented 2006 Jeep Cherokee through the...

    But Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar appears to have acted alone, campus police say A UNC-Chapel Hill graduate told investigators he intentionally drove into a crowd of students on campus Friday to "avenge the deaths of Muslims around the world," UNC Police Chief Derek Poarch said Saturday. Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar, 22, told detectives to go to the Carrboro apartment he shared with two other men, saying authorities would find evidence there that would explain his decision to hurt students. Poarch declined to say what, if anything, was found, but emphasized that Taheri-azar appears to have acted alone. It does not appear that...

    [How is it that only the Israelis know that World War III started on September 11, 2001?] Sooner or later it was bound to happen — Jihad would come to the United States. (Not that it hasn't been here since the Oklahoma City bombing, mind you.) And by this statement, I don't mean attacks on America's infrastructure, such as the assault on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the apparent attempted assault on the White House that occurred on 11 September 2001. No. I'm thinking of something much more simple than elaborate plans to fly commercial aircraft into buildings....
