Riyadh Attack Classic Case of ‘Lone Wolves’, Says Expert
Arab News ^ | Monday 27 June 2016

Posted on 06/26/2016 11:02:14 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Hamoud Al-Zaidi, a political analyst who studies the working of terrorist groups, said the crime that took place in Riyadh district of Al-Hamra on Friday was the result of the spread of terrorist ideology. He said the brothers were very young and hand fallen prey to perverted ideology.

Al-Zaidi pointed out that neither of the brothers was on any list of "wanted persons" of security agencies, according to the Ministry of Interior.

He added that terrorist organizations tend to influence the ideas and minds of young men, pushing them to kill their kin as part of a deliberate strategy in targeting the security system and security men of the Kingdom.

“Terrorist groups also aim to target families and destabilize the social system through several different practices and incidents, such as the earlier murder of a nephew by six of his uncles, as well as the case of the person who murdered his cousin along with the entire family,” said the analyst, asserting that in the latest instance, the to twins were socially isolated which facilitated their linkage with the organization on the emotional and ethical levels.

Pointing out the heinous nature of a crime committed against one's own parents, he said: “When the two brothers committed their crime they were stripped of humanity and all moral values."

Al-Zaidi added that those who live in social isolation are often used as "lone wolves" by terrorist organizations.

It was not a “lone wolf” attack. It’s the new, decentralized terror strategy. Individuals are encouraged to execute their own ops. It makes it much harder to stop.

“This is islam. Islam is a war plan.”

The basic problem with the religion/war plan is that it empowers any believer who feels sufficiently Islamic to act as judge, jury and executioner. In the west our social system takes those powers from the individual and vests them in the state where they are codified and limited.

As I watched the World Trade Center’s collapse I thought, we are lucky that they are still weak enough and poorly funded that we can defeat them. But we went into the battle with increasingly idiot self-imposed rules of engagement. And, we went after nations instead of Islam. Nations are an invention of the West. The Arabic language has no word for citizen. You aren’t a citizen of a nation you are Islamic. History shows that Islam must be utterly defeated or it will keep coming back like a B-movie monster. The advent of the internet and social media moves Islamic Jihad from tiny regions to city centers everywhere. Islam has adapted to the internet and social media the way a virus evolves to be more deadly.

Technology is advancing so rapidly that a time may arrive when a genetically crafted virus or some other, as yet unknown mechanism, can be developed in an apocalyptic believing country like Iran. They lose a war, fine, release the virus for Allah. The required technology for total destruction may not have even been thought of yet. For example, the treaty of Versailles set no limit on rocket development because they had never thought of rockets as weapons.

We either defeat the Islam-as-war-plan now or it may easily kill us later. As a hint to liberals “love” and midnight basketball may make great theater, but they don’t work.

So you don't believe in "unity, compassion, and love"?

That makes two of us.

The less cogs in a plan/mission, the less chances of being caught out beforehand....”lone wolf” is a misnomer.

Since when obeying the universal Hadith is lone wolf.

Islam as a matter of fact requires lone wolves. Not everyone is required to Jihad or martyr. Each community only has to supply the caliph with one or two guys while the rest can pray peacefully. It is a religion with a military feudal feudal rights of the Caliph.

Don’t forget to occasionally clean and oil your carry sidearm. Summertime sweat can do the nasty to it. A quick wipe down of your holster leather is also a good idea.
