The terrifying history of Islamist extremism at New Orleans terrorist Shamsud Din Jabbar's local mosque
Daily Mail ^ | 12/2/2025 | JAMES REINL

The man who drove a truck into a crowd of New Year's Day revelers in New Orleans was part of a Muslim community in Houston with a scary history of hard-line Islamism, DailyMail.com can reveal.

Shamsud-Din Jabbar, 42, a Texas-born US citizen and Army veteran, rammed the crowd in the French Quarter, killing 14 and injuring dozens more, after declaring his support for ISIS. He was killed in a shootout with police.

The FBI has probed Jabbar's ties to ISIS and hunted for potential accomplices. One focus is his Muslim immigrant community in northern Houston, and nearby mosque Masjid Bilal, which is now swarming with police, agents and armored vehicles.

The mosque belongs to The Islamic Society of Greater Houston (ISGH), which runs 20 centers across Texas' biggest city. It officially promotes tolerance, but the group also has a troubling track record of extremist preaching.

This includes its former cleric Zoubir Bouchikhi, who has been deported from the US. Bouchikhi has called non-Muslims 'worse than animals,' and shared anti-Christian Saudi propaganda at his Houston mosques.

Since Jabbar's attack, the mosque and ISGH have gone quiet. They did not answer DailyMail.com's requests for comment, and have reportedly urged members to brush off requests for information from investigators and journalists.

That's according to an ISGH memo shared on social media, calling on congregants to refer queries to the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR)

I’d say “terrifying” isn’t the right word.

It might be the word the terrorists want you to use, but it just seems artificial.

How about “provocative,” in the way it motivates us to go after the cabal origins of terrorism.

The days leading up to Trump’s inauguration are going to extremely dangerous.

Expect a false-flag tsunami.

Lots of “sudden jihad syndrome” going around.

“You need to point out over and over again that this guy wasn’t the Zeeper nutjob.”

It certainly sounds like they’re on the defensive now.

It is also the mosque that held a fundraiser for Hillary in 2016.

Oh, wait, her fundraiser wasn’t at a mosque. It was by invitation to someone’s house, I think. Pakistani-Americans near Beaumont.

You will notice how now that Trump’s about to pull the rug out from under the greasy, grifting, gay-dancing Zelenskkkksyyyyyyy, some Zeepers are magically beginning to post on topics other than Yookcrayne. It’s like a bank robber trying to blend into the crowd as the cops arrive. ‘Eff them all.

Yep, noticed that Rocco. You'd think they'd just slither away like the evil serpents they are.
