Of course Popal might just be crazy.

But a lot of terrorists are.

[Sam Hill]

Ping.

[backhoe]

Here is what I have picked up from the blogosphere so far- note the last entry:

"Sudden Jihad Syndrome?"

Yes. Sudden Jihad Syndrome.

Just like Seattle.

A HIT-AND-RUN SPREE in San Francisco:

UPDATE: A terrorist attack? It does seem a bit reminiscent of the "Jeep jihadi." Well, to look on the bright side, better crashing cars into people than planes into buildings, I guess.

MORE: Gateway Pundit has a roundup. Reportedly, three other people have been taken in for questioning.

Breaking: Hit and Run Spree in San Francisco

More at MercuryNews.com: One dead, 13 hurt in apparent deliberate hit-and-run.

Up to 14 hurt in SF hit-and-run spree. (Hat tip: LGF readers.)   link: 294 comments  "Is he a youth? Is he a person from a diverse background? Does he represent a broad stratum of society? With a name like Ohmeed Aziz Popal I am willing to bet he is a practitioner of the Religion of Peace (TM)."

"Sudden Jihad Syndrome?"

Yes. Sudden Jihad Syndrome. For the basics (now replicated many times over) see:

This guy was on probation last year, for another traffic violation...

For whatever it's worth, I'm not sure this is SJS yet, or just another nutcase- but it is suspicious...

Thanks Sam.

Returned to Afghanistan 3 months ago for an arranged marriage to someone he didn't know, and him having to come back without her has sent him off the deep end?......he couldn't have been very stable to start with or completely nuts IMHO.

[Razz Barry]

He was born in Afghanistan, but came to the United States at a young age. Three months ago, he returned to his home country to marry, relatives said, and his wife's family was very traditional and strict.

"He grew up as a Western boy in the United States and went to Afghanistan to get married culturally over there,'' Nekrawesh said...

How many more years do we allow this people to kill Americans before we stop letting them immigrate?

[Cindy]

THANKS backhoe.

[AmeriBrit]

Either I'm very tired from all the research and reading I've been doing or I've got a chronic case of 'Sudden Anti-Jihad Syndrome' [SAJS] coming on.

[backhoe]

THANKS backhoe.

You betcha- judging from the comments sections on the blogs, most readers view the "isolated incident" spin with deep suspicion.

Somewhat OT ( but maybe under the heading Domestic Terrorism ) our friend Atlas is being harried by the Oh! So! Tolerant! Left:

The Left Wages A Jihad Against Atlas Shrugs --the left can't sit with the simple explanation that Pamela is a good journalist, with connections, who lives in New York, and that these things account for the fact that she gets the interviews she gets. No.

Instead, they have to invent an alternate narrative. They have to invent a whole other Pamela. They say she is a drunk, that she's stupid, and that she is incoherent. That she gets the interviews because she is too stupid to ask the questions. That she is just a pawn in a bigger game controlled by larger forces behind the scenes.

Is this sounding familiar? Doesn't this sound eerily similar to what they say about George Bush?

[raybbr]

This isn't going to stop until Americans start dragging these bastards out of their cars and clubbing them to within an inch of their life.

[Cindy]

OH MY, now that is NOT nice.

I'll have to add this to my links.

THANKS backhoe.

[SE Mom]

Stress? STRESS?! They'll call it ANYTHING but a deep-seated hatred for infidels. The new code-word for jihad inspired actions= Stress.

Also- the same affliction that struck the man in Seattle who shot 5 people at the Jewish Center...

[visualops]

Just wondering what would be the reason a traffic infraction would go to municipal court rather than traffic court?

[backhoe]

I'll have to add this to my links.

I appreciate that- I was hoping you would.

It still astounds me how low, personal, and mean ( in both the common usage, "vicious," and the older definition, "common." ) the LLL³ is towards anyone they perceive as not being in the same camp as they are.

[Reform4Bush]

Vehicular Jewicide and Vehicular Jihadicide ping.

[Cindy]

I'd like to say I am amazed at how "low, personal, and mean" people (especially on the internet where some idiots think they are "anonymous") can be; but sorry to say, I'm not.

[poobear]

Sounds like a trip to 'Club Gitmo' is in order for the 'stress of jihad'.

[dennisw]

Yep this lil' ol' demon had "sudden Jihad Syndrome" Daniel Pipes came up with that phrase. Where an outwardly normal, law abiding Muslim male goes nuts and has an urge to kill infidels.
The solution to his problems is the same other sudden Jihadists. To kill infidels in a cowardly way.

It's as if their reptilian Muslim brain takes over

[FreeAtlanta]

To quote the CAIR spokesman, "You are just cherry picking!" On the other hand, Eric Rudolph is a typical example of Christians. </sarcasm>

[MaDeuce]

"This isn't going to stop until Americans start dragging these bastards out of their cars and clubbing them to within an inch of their life death and parading their head on a stick." Correction noted.

[Alouette]

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
