Who here is surprised by this?
Had this Arab alien tried this same attack on a U.S. airline, the death toll would have been far higher. By attacking El Al instead, all he got was the Darwin Award for the 21st century and himself killed along with two others.

Well, it's either terrorism or a "hate crime." The distinction rests on whether the perpetrator's motives were substantially political or not. If he simply wanted to take out his rage on Israelis, it was a hate crime. If he also wanted to strike at civilians in order to encourage a change in the policies of one or more governments, in furtherance of some cause (e.g., Islamic Fundamentalism), then he was a terrorist. It may be that not all those who hate the Israelis so passionately qualify as terrorists--the label would not seem to fit the Nazis, for example. Homicidal/suicidal maniacs may simply be so filled with hate that they are compelled to act regardless of the consequences.
The guy was not carrying his Official Terrorist Badge, De-coder ring and ID card, so it will be difficult to say for sure. We simply do not know, and it would be presumptuous to hazard a guess considering the lack of direct evidence.
Whatever AP is paying the writer, its too much.
Just think, if Islam wasn't the religion of love, we would be in a world of trouble. Instead of just shooting up airports and blowing up buildings, no telling what they might do.
But considering we were worrying about a 4th of July nuke in LA Harbor, this shootout is pretty small stuff.
My guess; two more 911 size attacks, or 25 of these LAX type attacks.
BTW - I was following the LAX story on the various TV news channels; no one commented on the fact (except here on the Free Republic) that the authorities knew the age of the perp but not the name.
Will someone who understands Hebrew please advise the meaning of this name? It looks a bit like Jacob Faithful, or the reverse, Faithful Jacob. Am I close?
The time for a rational response to this has long come and gone. CLOSE EVERY MOSQUE. Deport EVERY MUSLIM, "citizen" or not. God knows how many more of these b@stard Islqamic sleepers have been planted here.
God d@mn all Muslims - especially those in America!
It's time to deport them all. Wake up US Government!! We are under attack from within. How many more American deaths post 9/11/2001 will it take before this Government gets it?!
Seems like the real foreigner is Gov. Davis. I always associated America standing for "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness".
This is now changed in the Demo Gay agenda to "Liberty, Security, and Diversity". I guess this means Gov Davis can opt to wear a pink security uniform on Monday, a taupe uniform on Tuesday, a cute beret on Wed. and lament about violence on Thursday behind his security guards.
The more quotes I hear from Davis, the more convinced I am that he's a actually a flaming closet queen.
You're just now figuring it out? Sheesh, one look at the guy (his thin, emaciated look ala Gary Condit, stiff hair that doesn't bend in the wind from all the hairspray) told me the guy was a flaming closet homo.
If Californian's don't vote this guy out in November, I'm starting a petition to kick California out of the union.
Don't worry; I think we'll see much more than that.
