Airport Shooter Converted to Islam, Identified as Aashiq Hammad Years Before Joining Army

Judicial Watch ^ | January 10, 2017

The Ft. Lauderdale Airport shooter is a Muslim convert who years before joining the U.S. Army took on an Islamic name (Aashiq Hammad), downloaded terrorist propaganda and recorded Islamic religious music online, according to public records dug up by the investigative news site of an award-winning, California journalist. This is pertinent information that the Obama administration apparently wants to keep quiet, bringing up memories of the Benghazi cover up, in which the president and his cohorts knowingly lied to conceal that Islamic terrorists attacked the U.S. Special Mission in Libya.

Information is slowly trickling out that links the Ft. Lauderdale Airport shooter to radical Islam while the official story from authorities is that the gunman is a mentally ill, Hispanic Army veteran named Esteban Santiago that became unhinged after a tour in Iraq. Only one mainstream media outlet mentions the possibility of Santiago’s “jihadist identity,” burying it in a piece about New York possibly being his initial target. A paragraph deep in the story mentions that investigators recovered Santiago’s computer from a pawn shop and the FBI is examining it to determine whether he created a “jihadist identity for himself using the name Aashiq Hammad…” The reset of the traditional mainstream media coverage promotes the government rhetoric that omits any ties to terrorism even though early on a photo surfaced of Santiago making an ISIS salute while wearing a keffiyeh, a Palestinian Arab scarf.

The public records uncovered in the days after the massacre suggest Santiago (Hammad) is a radical Islamic terrorist that’s seriously committed to Islam. Besides taking on a Muslim name, he recorded three Islamic religious songs, including the Muslim declaration faith (“there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger”) known as the Shahada. He also posted a thread about downloading propaganda videos from Islamic terrorists on a weapons and explosives forum. The investigative news site that unearthed this disturbing information connected the dots between Santiago, who is of Puerto Rican descent, and Hammad, an identity he created in 2007.

This week a prominent Ft. Lauderdale businessman and longtime resident addressed a letter to the city’s mayor and commissioners blasting county and federal officials for covering up that “Aashiq Hammad, not Esteban Santiago, attacked our city and county.” The businessman, respected Ft. Lauderdale real estate entrepreneur Jim Morlock, specifically names Broward County’s elected sheriff Scott Israel, Florida senator Bill Nelson, the first to identify Santiago as the shooter on national television, and congressman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, ousted last summer as Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair over a scandalous plot to damage Bernie Sanders during the primary.

“Since when does a US Senator (Bill Nelson), not law enforcement, be the one to so quickly release this terrorist’s Hispanic name but nothing about his more relevant Islamic background?” the letter asks. Obama must have told Sen. Nelson to keep this from looking like a Muslim Terrorist attack during the last 12 days of his watch. Bad for his legacy.” Morlock goes on to state that it’s “better to portray this atrocity as white Hispanic Alaskan mental Iraq war vet gun violence.” The real estate entrepreneur proceeds to reveal that Santiago lives in walking distance to the only mosque in Alaska, was radicalized before he entered the military and was knowingly allowed to serve despite his Islamic sympathies thanks to “Obama’s PC military.”

The letter poses interesting questions, including why this Muslim terrorist chose Ft. Lauderdale out of all the nation’s airports and who Santiago knows in Broward county, which has a large and growing Islamic community. In 2015 Judicial Watch obtained records from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) that show and Al Qaeda terrorist who helped plan several U.S. attacks lived in Broward County and graduated from the local community college with a degree in computer engineering. His name is Adnan G. El Shukrijumah, but he also had a Hispanic identity, Javier Robles, and for years he appeared on the FBI’s most wanted list. Back in 2012 Judicial Watch reported on a terrorist front group’s demands that Broward County public schools close twice a year to celebrate Islamic holy days, illustrating the influence that Muslims have in the region.

[politicianslie]

does anyone think that the truth will prevail?

You and I BOTH know the truth. He is a Muslim who followed the Koran and killed infidels as he is commanded to do.

The Muslim scumbag on the left is the younger Boston marathon bomber, the one on the right is the Fort Lauderdale shooter. They are BOTH shooting Allah the one signal.

The Allah is great song that the WND article refers to is on this website. This scumbag recorded this in 2007 as the article says. Listen to it here:

FT. Lauderdale shooter original research

When you asked will the truth prevail? Not until we harass the MSM to tell the truth. CNN and all the others are getting very, very sensitive about the FAKE NEWS tag.

If you use twitter and FACEBOOK, log on to your local ABC station (for example) and post away. Some of the YOUTUBE alternate news sites are claiming (and it looks like it too) have more viewers than some of the cable shows. The PRESSTITUTES have to be getting worried.

[Seaplaner]

I have not decided whether I’m going to watch or not. I hope all the cable channels are not going to carry it. I’d better look.

I would pay to NOT watch what's-his-names's farewell brag-fest (based on fake success) and blame-o-thon.

Let's see...

What do I have recorded?...

Hopefully something starring Ronald Reagan.

Case closed — it was a muzzie terrorist as many on FR expected him to be. Questions on when or where he was “radicalized” will not solve the problem and will not revive the victims. Why not accept that all muzzies are walking timebombs living among us?

[KSCITYBOY]

BTT

[CivilWarBrewing]

I would bet Brennan’s CIA DID give this terrorist a job at the Ft. Lauderdale airport baggage claim and the terrorist all but ADMITTED IT to the FBI.

[crusty old prospector]

Cue the Gomer Pyle “Surprise, Surprise!”

[Degaston]

How did the Fake News Media (FNM) journalists do on Friday in figuring out this tidbit about the shooter’s religious history? It sure does seem like there are more Muslims than Quakers, Amish, Mennonites, or Shakers who are committing these terrorist acts in the world and in our country. It would be helpful IMO if the real news media would step forward and do some investigative journalism work into the various congregations and dogma of the Islam religion.

[353FMG]

Islam is NOT a religion — it is a fatal disease.

[lonevoice]

This is such important material. It’s been surfacing here and there since the earliest hours after the jihadist’s murderous rampage. Here, Judicial Watch does an outstanding job of summing up what is known and proven about this Islamic terrorist. The lid needs to be totally blown off of this cover-up. I wonder if that will happen.

[353FMG]

“....the real news media would step forward and do some investigative journalism work into the various congregations and dogma of the Islam religion.”

.
You think they’re intelligent and forthright enough to do so?

[I want the USA back]

Yes, and the media has deliberately and intentionally, with full awareness, suppressed that.

[Mathews]

Let’s not jump to any conclu... Aaannnnddd it’s Islam.

Thanks, KC_Lion.

[TBP]

I bet the MSM will be all over this, right?

[rodguy911]

He started posting on line at 17 using his muslim name,the guyis a terrorist for gosh sake!!!

[indthkr]

Did John Brennan squeeze-in one final false flag operation before Trump fires him?

How do you spell coverup in Arabic?

Fort Lauderdale Jihadi Esteban Santiago aka “AASHIQ HAMMAD”: “La ilaha illAllah”,“There is no God but Allah,”

JIHAD IN AMERICA

Estaban Sanitago’s aka Aashiq Hammad journey to Islam goes back at least 10 years. His MySpace page is eyeopening. More news the enemedia ignores, censors, scrubs – thanks to Charles Johnson over Got News.

As for mental illness, that is now the default cover for Islam. It was “lone wolf” until the number of ‘lone wolves’ made the narrative ridiculous and absurd. Now Islam is a mental illness.

[R Rogers]

If you want to make flying safe, forget about guns and ban Muslims.
