Killer’s daughter admits it was political

Do muslimes kill for any other reason????

[peteram]

Yeah sure. Old story. Just another stressed out looney toon in New York. Nothing to see here, move along......

[MizSterious]

Authorities will never admit that anything is a terrorist act until it reaches the point they simply can't lie about it any more. Salt Lake City is only the most recent, but events in Norman Oklahoma and elsewhere were almost certainly engineered by Islamic terrorists.

In February 1997, Palestinian English teacher Ali Abu Kamal went to the 86th floor observation deck of the Empire State Building, pulled out a gun, and opened fire, killing one person and wounding six others before killing himself. Even though he carried letters ranting about the US and Israel, the media heavily promoted the story that he was despondent and suicidal after a financial loss.

And, if I remember correctly, what was gun-grabbing RINO-rudy's response?

Of course, just as his LIBERAL DEMONRAT brethren would do, RINO-rudy further railed against guns and gun owners, and used another, if rare, tragedy involving the criminal/crazy use of a firearm to promote further firearms restrictions and measures that infringe upon law-abiding citizens 2nd Amendment RIGHTS.

>"She wants the world to know that her father was “martyred for patriotic motivations.”"

Stoopid moo! Her father was a MURDERER. Period. She is a LIAR. Period.

[popdonnelly]

Will the AP, the New York Times, or the Washington Post be interested in this story. I don't consider any of them an actual news source. They just print what they want to print.

Sudden Jihad Syndrome Alert!

Atlas Shrugs has a an article on this phenomenon, of course (almost) never covered in the MSM: Lone Media Finally Calls it: Sudden Jihad Syndrome

Also, note the predilection for the jihadists to attack tall buildings. Of course in muslim countries no building may be higher than the minarets.

he decided to avenge in the highest building in America

In 1997, the ESB wasn't even the second tallest building in NYC.

[DBrow]

I suspect there are many more cases like this.

Remember late September 2001, after 9/11- Richard Reid got caught with a shoe bomb. We started checking everyones shoes.

Result was, while we had had several commercial crashes and accidents in the ten years before, AFTER that we had what, two?

The problem is, you can't believe a word half of these people say. Suddenly the suicidal goofball is a "patriot", huh? And three days after the rampage the killer's family "got a copy of a letter that was found on his body" and it was all really about Israel and blah blah blah?

Yeah, sure.

“He wrote that after he raised his children and made sure that his family was all right he decided to avenge in the highest building in America to make sure they get his message,”

In 1997, this islamic idiot couldn't even get that right...

Her father got hold of her through a medium and told her he was cheated out of his 72 Virgins because the American media didnt admit he was a martyr, This is an attempt to get the virgins for her father.

This story is not much different from the one told of the Islamic killer last week who went Pschycho and killed all those people in the mall. I wonder if he got his virgins.

Now the killers daughter is working for the UN in this country and since she is so worried about gettuing his martyrdom recognised it is pretty obvious she is proud of what he did. She may even do something of that sort herself and should be kept under serveilance or sent back to Palestine. How many others are in this country working for the UN who need to be sent home as security risks.

Here's the TRUTH about the first terrorist attack in New York City during Giuliani's term as mayor. On 23 February 1997 an Islamic terrorist opened fire on the observation platform of the Empire State Building in New York City. This was a terrorist attack and is even listed as a "significant terrorist attack" on the U.S. State Department's website. How did Giuliani react to the first Islamic terrorist attack while he was mayor? He took the opportunity to immediately and openly politicize the event to advance his and the Democrats' agenda for national gun control and to praise Bill Clinton's gun control efforts.

Here's the relevant info and quotes:

U.S. State Department - Significant Terrorist Incidents 1961-2003

Empire State Building Sniper Attack, February 23, 1997: A Palestinian gunman opened fire on tourists at an observation deck atop the Empire State Building in New York City, killing a Danish national and wounding visitors from the United States, Argentina, Switzerland, and France before turning the gun on himself. A handwritten note carried by the gunman claimed this was a punishment attack against the "enemies of Palestine."

Archives of Rudy Giuliani, Mayor's Message, 2 March 1997:

"Good morning. It has been a week since the terrible tragedy that happened last Sunday at the Empire State Building. And even as we grieve for the families and our hearts and prayers go out to them, perhaps we can use this senseless tragedy to re-energize the fight for gun control."

Archives of Rudy Giuliani, Major Addresses, Citizen's Crime Commission, 6 March 1997:

A couple of weeks ago, all New Yorkers and people throughout the world were appalled by the senseless and horrifying act of violence that occurred at the Empire State Building.

[snip]

Because of this transformation of perception, when this latest tragedy occurred, instead of having to defend New York City, we were able to focus national attention on the real problem, which is gun control. And even as we grieve for those who lost their lives, and our hearts and prayers go out to the victims and their loved ones, we may be able to find some sort of meaning in this tragedy by using it as a catalyst to revive national gun control efforts.

[snip]

Yesterday, President Clinton outlined his proposals for more stringent, federal gun licensing requirements. ... I applaud the President's proposals, and I will support them any way I can.

I only hope that he is right, and that Congress is finally ready to recognize that the vast majority of Americans want more gun control. It makes sense. It is time. And we can no longer let special interests dominate this vitally important issue.

[snip]

I know many people argue that keeping and bearing arms is federally guaranteed right as stated in the Second Amendment of the Constitution. But even in the Second Amendment, it refers to firearms in the context of a well regulated militia, and well regulated is what we're trying to accomplish.

Two days after the terrorist attack, Giuliani wasn't assessing further Islamic terrorist threats or preparing the city against terrorist attack or publically denouncing Islamic terrorism. No, instead he was in a press conference at City Hall with a Democrat gun control nut (Rep. Carolyn McCarthy) by his side calling for national gun control.

This is the TRUTH that must be told about the February 1997 terrorist attack in New York City. This is how Giuliani deals with terrorist attacks. He blamed the guns, called for violating constitutional rights for EVERYONE, and wanted to take away our own individual defense against further terrorist attacks. More disturbing is that he would openly politicize a terrorist attack to advance a liberal agenda.

Even if Giuliani didn't have all of the other 100-ton social liberal and personal baggage he would carry as the GOP nominee for President, his reaction to this terrorist attack is more than enough reason for Republicans to seriously consider looking for a better candidate.
