Was the Capitol Building attack a form of jihad?
American Thinker ^ | 8 Apr, 2021 | Raymond Ibrahim

Was the Capitol building attack — where one police officer was killed and another injured — last Good Friday by Noah Green, a Nation of Islam member, a jihad attack?

Most would say no: the Nation of Islam, they would argue, is a heterodox group that has little to do with mainstream Islam as it focuses on placing a wedge between "superior" blacks (Allah's people) and "inferior" whites (Satan's people).

Although this is largely true, it overlooks two important facts: the Nation of Islam, as well as countless other groups regularly dismissed as out of the Muslim mainstream, traces its origins to Islam. More importantly, the fundamental aspect of almost all of these "fringe" groups — namely, the "us vs. them" element — is entirely Islamic.

This is significant and deserves some exploration.

For starters, countless have been the groups throughout Islamic history that not only see themselves as Islamic, but often as the only true Muslims — even as others, Muslims and non-Muslims alike, accuse them of being pseudo-Muslims. In fact, the first of these groups — the Khawarij, they who "exit [the mainstream]" — came into being just two decades after the death of Muhammad.

This group, which is today dismissed as un-Islamic, and which modern-day terrorists of the ISIS variety are regularly compared to, believed that any Muslim who does not uphold the totality of Islamic law, sharia, deserves death, and they acted on this impulse, including by slaughtering Muslim women and children (particularly the Azariqa Khawarij).

This is just one example. The Hashashin — who gave us the word "assassin" — are another. Although they too are regularly dismissed as being un-Islamic, the reality is that they emphasized some aspects of Islam — assassinating opponents and looking forward to a houri-filled paradise — over others.

A muslim with a knife. We don’t seem to learn anything from history.

The author should read a true copy of the Holy Quran before bothering to write on this subject.

It has little, if anything to do with the "group".

It has everything to do with the individual reading the Holy Quran, or at least having heard verses of it 5 times every day of his life from the tops of minarets and in Mosques.

When one has that knowledge, he knows it is his duty to wage Jihad and kill infidels.

This was just another long wolf attack.
No different from hundreds of other lone wolf attacks each year.
The presence of Islam in so many of those attacks is merely a coincidence.

Muslim Attacker = Lone Wolf.

White Attacker = Vast, deeply-rooted conspiracy to overthrow the government which must be brought to light and destroyed.

The joke on the NOI is that Mohammad was presented as expressly white, praised for his whiteness, he valued his black slaves half as much as Arab slaves, said Satan looked like a particular black slave he owned, and when trying to present a worst case scenario to emphasize that Muslims should slavishly obey their leaders they used a black leader.

... then there’s practically all the blacks exported from the sub-Sahara to be slaves from the moment Islam waddled on in, as well as those kept more locally.

The Capital was never "Attacked"!

Nancy colluded with Antifa to arrange the walk-in, and the conservatives present simply walked in.

There was at least one point where Antifa broke in, before conservatives followed.

This article is about the recent car ramming event. Title is not very clear.
