New details emerge surrounding Muhammad contest shooting (meaty article)
israelhayom.com ^ | Steve Emerson

Posted on 05/09/2015 9:42:43 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

The event was spurred in part as a reaction to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) "Stand with the Prophet" conference in January in which radical Islamic leaders from around the United States attacked those who have "defamed the Prophet" as responsible for the rise of Islamic extremist groups and the "world wide hatred of Muslims."

The CAIR-sponsored event in Garland took place in January of this year just after the Islamic terrorist massacre of the cartoonists working at the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine in Paris. Geller's event also sought to commemorate the victims of the Paris attack.

According to the IPT source, social media postings about the event began appearing en masse about three days prior. They featured vicious exhortations to kill those responsible and urged beheadings and mass killings. Simpson, who court records show had a long affinity with jihadist causes, apparently saw some of those calls to violence and headed to Texas.

It is not yet known what prompted the late-hour focus on the Garland meeting within foreign jihadi circles, but investigators are confident Simpson and Soofi were trying to respond to those specific calls for jihad.

At this point, authorities do not believe the attack was well planned or that Simpson and Soofi ever conducted reconnaissance on the Culwell Center before coming out, guns blazing.

If they had, they might have discovered that organizers, well aware of the inherent threat of violence an event like theirs carries, paid $10,000 to secure the venue with off-duty police officers. That was in addition to the security provided by members of Garland's SWAT team, along with FBI and ATF agents.

the ONLY thing the muslim hordes are right about is that given the chance, the left will try to destroy any religion, except paganism, which they love.

They have utterly decimated Christianity in the under 34 crowd here. One only has to talk to a nephew/niece/anyone under that age and you hear Christianity is silly or does not fit their lifestyle. .

Of course the huge difference is Christianity preaches peace, the other, subjugation and war.

The feds weren’t there to watch for Jihaddis. They were there to watch the participants.

Also, note the carefully timed warning from the FBI - scheduled so that they could claim that they issued the warning before the attack, but much too late for it to be useful to the local law enforcement.

Both the Muzzis and the feds apparently forgot that they were messing with Texas.

The article is not completely accurate. One of the rifles was a KelTec SU2000 9mm. The other rifle was still unknown a few days ago but may have been released since then.

It’s almost like the feds were trying to clear the way for the Jihadists. No, that couldn’t be true.

It’s often true that the government acts out of incompetence rather than evil intent. But, to quote a current presidential candidate, What difference does it make?

All the taxpayer money spent on whoever gave that patently absurd “no worries” forecast was not just wasted. It resulted in a reduction of our real safety and security.

I didn’t realize there had been a CAIR hatefest in Garland a few months before. Thanks for posting this!

Good people of America (A. D'Toqueville) ... PLEASE pay attention ... we are SO delusioned and terrorized ... the schools have produced the unChristian population of, "I don't vote's" along with the "Gimmeedat's" and more are being graduated in a couple of weeks

Get involved with your local government indoctrination center ... THEY have your (our) kids at the youngest of age and an unelected, elite and powerful consortium determines HOW THEY WILL THINK ... in spite of whatever you do.

If you can't or won't pull them out ... stop the mental rape.

First I have heard of this.
A 9mm carbine is a piss poor choice, though I own a few for historical purposes.
I was told they had AKs with 75 rd drums and body armor.
Still unclear whether the Garland traffic cop dropped them with his 45 ACP glock (head shots) or the Swat guys defeated their body armor with rifle rds.
I suspect it was a concerted and successful effort.

This is Tx, Jihadis can punk off.

The FBI said nothing because it is part of Obama’s rational not to anger Muslims before the deal goes through with getting a nuke for Iran to use on Israel.

God aimed that cop’s gun.

He did it by inspiring him to practice for thirty years, and then standing by him when the crisis came.

Both.

My sister pulled the kid out of public and into catholic private but not everyone can afford it.

People have to prep their kids for what they are going to hear, encourage the kids to let the parents know when they are taught something at school that goes against their beliefs so it can be countered, and taught to fight back when their religion/way of life is condemned.

Islam has been a danger to all non-muslims since their prophet wrote his book with instructions to kill or enslave unbelievers.

All muslims are obligated to seek world domination of Islam.
The only safe muslims are those who don’t practice their faith.

I agree. That’s why they are importing so many moozlum terrorists and settling them throughout the country. Traitors in government and in the church groups that take the government money to resettle them. ALL hate Free America and the Constitution.
