Was the Oregon mass shooting an Islamist attempt to assassinate Alek Skarlatos?
American Thinker ^ | 10/6/15 | Matthew Vadum

Was last week's massacre at Umpqua Community College in Oregon a failed attempt to assassinate a Christian American hero for thwarting a Muslim terrorist train attack this summer in France?

There may simply be a series of unlikely coincidences at play, or there may be circumstantial evidence suggesting that anti-jihadist hero Alek Skarlatos was an intended target of Chris Harper-Mercer, who put several Christians to death in an Umpqua classroom on Thursday, Oct. 1 for being Christian.

Read on and decide for yourself if Harper-Mercer may have wanted to make an example of Skarlatos for the world to see.

And although no evidence revealed thus far directly indicates Harper-Mercer was influenced by Islamic State, plenty of evidence suggests the shooter was acting in furtherance of the Islamic goal of global jihad. Maybe the massacre was intended as a kind of jihadist payback hit.

Islamic State (a.k.a. ISIS, ISIL, and Daesh) apparently claimed responsibility on Twitter for the killings Harper-Mercer carried out at Umpqua. The tweet states, "Again #Oregon #USA #WashingtonDC #IslamicState #ISIS #USA[,]" and displays a graphic with the words “Slay Americans” in front of an image of a man in the process of being beheaded.

This article raises a very interesting point. I did not know that ISIS had taken credit for this shooting.

Very good article. Totalitarians on the street or in government want to see you disarmed, subjugated, silenced, jizya’d, humiliated and/or dead. Witness history. Witness current events.

They will indeed keep coming back if needed, at whatever means available.

This is an important article that deserves wide-distribution. The war on America is taking place now on US soil. The longer it takes for us to recognize the enemy, the less certain our victory.

I personally know Islamic Radicals living in Portland.
Identifying them to the FBI could have gotten me fired from Intel.

Anyone else remember the Intel 7?
There are many more hiding in the company

Why would identifying them get you fired?

What or who are the Intel 7?
