Just Nuts?
nvestor's Business Daily ^ | August 30, 2006 | Editorial

Posted on 08/30/2006 6:16:54 PM PDT by quidnunc

What would possess a Muslim motorist to drive around San Francisco Bay Area streets in his SUV and deliberately run over pedestrians, including kids? Insanity, shrugs the mainstream media.

Omeed Aziz Popal was taken into custody Tuesday after a hit-and-run spree that terrorized pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists for a full hour, killing one and injuring 14. The news treated the bloody rampage like a random act of violence.

Those in the media who didn't brush it off as an "inexplicable tragedy" before moving on to the next story focused on the alleged mental illness and not the religion of suspect Popal, a native of Afghanistan. His lawyer claims he'd been treated for a nervous breakdown. A cousin offered that Popal, who'd returned two weeks earlier from Afghanistan, might have been stressed over an arranged marriage.

But police, who say victims were hit intentionally and methodically in a dozen different locations throughout the area, aren't buying it.

The clean-cut 29-year-old seemed calm, coherent and unrepentant when they pulled him from his black Honda SUV. It was as he was being arrested that a woman heard Popal say "I'm a terrorist," a statement that, as of Wednesday afternoon, only KTVU in San Francisco was reporting.

It's significant because last month a Muslim immigrant from Pakistan went on a shooting rampage at a Seattle Jewish center. After coldly and deliberately shooting six women there, suspect Naveed Haq announced, "I'm a Muslim-American; I'm angry at Israel."

The San Francisco attack is also reminiscent of the hit-and-run rampage last spring at the University of North Carolina in which another angry Muslim lashed out at infidels by hitting nine people with a big SUV he'd rented for the occasion.

Same with other freelance terrorists. The Beltway snipers were Muslim converts who admired the 9-11 hijackers. They said their goal was to "terrorize" Washington. One wrote in his diary: "Islam. We will resist. We will conquer." Some news outlets couldn't bring themselves to say the leader's legally changed Muslim name, John Muhammad, using instead his previous name John Allen Williams.

He found out that the wife to be had picked out a perfectly ugly flatware pattern.

I'll admit I've been busy, but I have not heard a peep about this until now.

When I first read the story, I thought "muslim."

But of course, that isn't PC.

Same here. I wonder if anyone else is covering it.

Somebody really needs to do the research on all of these "non terrorists" incidents.

They have everything planed out soooo neatly, the statements, the press, the cops, the "insanity plea", the gaggle of friends and relatives claiming mental disturbances in the recent past, the asymmetric attacks.

I'ts just to well orchestrated in each and every case.

I'm going to tell you a FACT from today's SF Chronicle:

They listed the perp's name and religion in paragraph 55!

It took them 55 paragraphs to get around to it...!

Counted it up in the gym this morning, in disgust.
