Sudden Jihad Syndrome
INVESTORS BUSINESS DAILY, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2O, 2007

Terror: It looks like the Muslim teen who opened fire on shoppers in a Salt Lake City mall is yet another case of “sudden jihad syndrome,” a condition in which normal-appearing American Muslims abruptly turn violent.

   Taken together, this and other cases add up to an invisible jihad inside America. But don’t tell that to the FBI. The politically correct bureau does everything it can to avoid recognizing the obvious Islamic factor in these heinous crimes.

Sulejman Talovic, an 18-year-old Bosnian Muslim immigrant, was loaded with enough ammo to “inexplicably” kill dozens of victims — and he would have, if an alert off-duty cop hadn’t returned fire and stopped him. Talovic still managed to methodically murder five and wound four others with a shotgun.    Witnesses say it was an act of coldblooded violence aimed at random victims — something otherwise known as terrorism. According to the Salt Lake Tribune, Talovic attended Friday prayers at a mosque about a block from the mall.

   Yet the FBI saw no religious motive, and quickly ruled out terrorism. Nor could it find anything to indicate terrorism in several other Muslim-tied cases since 9/11, including:

   A 30-year-old Muslim man, Naveed Afzal Haq, who went on a shooting rampage at a Jewish community center in Seattle, announcing “I’m a Muslim-American; I’m angry at Israel.” An Egyptian national, Hesham Mohamed Hadayet, who shot two and wounded three at an Israeli airline ticket counter at LAX. A bearded 21-year-old student, Joel Hinrichs, who blew himself up with a backpack filled with TATP (the explosive of choice in the Mideast) outside a packed Oklahoma University football stadium not long after he started attending the local mosque. A 23-year-old student, Mohammed Ali Alayed, who slashed the throat of his Jewish friend in Houston after apparently undergoing a religious awakening (he went to a local mosque afterward). The D.C. snipers — John Muhammad and Lee Malvo, both black Muslim converts — who picked off 13 people in the suburbs around the Beltway as part of what Muhammad described as a “prolonged terror campaign against America” around the first anniversary of 9/11, which he had praised.

   Omeed Aziz Popal of Fremont, Calif., who police said hit and killed a bicyclist there then took his SUV on a hit-and-run spree in San Francisco, mowing down pedestrians at crosswalks and on sidewalks before police caught up with him, whereupon the Muslim called himself a “terrorist.”

   A 22-year-old Muslim, Ismail Yassin Mohamed, who stole a car in Minneapolis and rammed it into other cars before stealing a van and doing the same, injuring drivers and pedestrians, while repeatedly yelling, “Die, die, die, kill, kill, kill” — all, he said, on orders from “Allah.”

   A 22-year-old Iranian honors student, Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar, who deliberately rammed his SUV into a crowd at the University of North Carolina to “punish the government of the United States” for invading Iraq and other Muslim nations.

   Described by other students as “kind and gentle,” Taheri-azar was a student council president and a member of the National Honor Society in high school. He told the judge he was “thankful you’re here to learn more about the will of Allah.”

   He wrote a letter to a TV station citing Quranic verses justifying his attacks and told a detective that Muslims “all over the world are being killed, and now it is the people in the United States’ turn to be killed.”

   This is not terrorism, the FBI said. Just some nutty kid. In all these cases, the feds’ first reaction was to shrug. They said the perps were lone individuals who just went ballistic after having a bad day, as if anyone could have done such crimes.

   But they weren’t just anyone. They were all young Muslim men. Of course, the FBI can’t treat all law-abiding young Muslim men as potential killers. But neither should the agency ignore this trend.    We’re likely to see more of these seemingly random domestic attacks. They may seem isolated, but all have radical Islam at their nexus. They’re not “senseless” or “utterly inexplicable” or “impossible to rationalize,” as the media intone. They are purposeful. These men act as conscripts called up for a mission, sick as it is.

That is great news.

[John Sobieski]

IBD has always been way ahead of other MSM. Way ahead.

[DoctorDentons]

OK, Now we know that 'Sudden Jihad Syndrome' exists...Now when are Americans going to start to show some 'I've Had Enough of This Crap Syndrome' ???

[neverforget]

When regular Americans start to show some "I've had enough..." they will be arrested for hate crimes, conspiracy, perjury, and obstruction of justice...at least.

[DoctorDentons]

Neverforget...Sadly you are right, but they can only arrest so many of us until they run out of space to lock us up...we need to do something because this country is going to hell in a handbasket.

[Robert4]

I have just read about SJS and am verry worried! Maybe we need to make Muslims wear special signs so that we know they are Muslims and can stay out of their way incase SJS strikes.

[duncan]

Robert what a novel idea! Oh no, come to think of it , wasn't that done before?
Ah yes, now I remember....

Reinhard Heydrich recommended that the Jews be forced to wear badges following the Kristallnacht pogrom in November 1938. The German government first introduced mandatory badges in Poland in November 1939. Jews who failed to wear them risked death. On July 26, 1941, the Judenrat (Jewish Community Council) of Bialystok announced that "the authorities have warned that severe punishment — up to, and including death by shooting — is in store for Jews who do not wear the yellow badge on back and front."

The German government's policy of forcing Jews to wear badges, and then confining all who wore them to ghettos, was a tactic aimed at isolating the Jews from the rest of the population. It enabled the German government to identify, concentrate, deprive, starve, and ultimately murder the Jews of Europe under its control. In 1942, Helmut Knochen, the German government's chief of the Security Service and the Security Police for occupied France and Belgium, stated that the yellow badge was "another step on the road to the Final Solution."

Excuse me? Ahmadenijad is the one who wants Jews to wear Stars of David in Iran. Jews weren't terrorists in Nazi Germany. I don't subscribe to Robert's philosophy, but it's not a moral equivalent either.

[duncan]

Oh indeed it is a moral equivalent. If you are going to force Muslims to wear signs because of the actions of a few, then Catholics should have been forced to wear signs after Timothy McVeigh bombed the Federal building in Oklahoma City.

[majdvmphd]

You need to get a life. Why do I say that? Because you spend WAY too much time on a blog where you KNOW people disagree with you, yet you change nothing, day in day out.

McVeigh and Nichols were trained and supported by Abu Saef in the Philippines. Nichols made several trips there, and his wife's (Philippino Muslim) family was connected to the organization. Again, Al Qaeda and Islam was connected to terror, although the outward appearance was that of a radical white Christian group. Again, public domain that you choose to ignore or just don't get exposed to if you don't get your head out of CNN's ass.

[duncan]

Oh God another conspiracy theory! I hadn't thought about the Phllipino Muslim connection though. Perhaps Michelle Malkin is a double agent!

[majdvmphd]

It's in declassified documents. Calling it a "conspiracy theory" to the ends of the earth doesn't change history, nor current events. Just like Santorum's declassification of the WMD documents...you choose to ignore it because your obvious agenda procludes it. Even a Pan troglodytes such as yourself can google the info if you're too lazy. Michelle Malkin has reported on it as well. Figures you'd twist her into it, but I think she's a "great American". Perhaps you could learn a thing or two from her.
Can't wait until Atlas bans you. She hates trolls.

[eavesdropper]

Doctor D - great question! I hope had enough of it myself and I've had enough of losers like Duncan who hate the right so much they will protect the rights of Jihadist assasins.

Duncan - are you a muslim? are you in your early 20's? college student? curious where this despise you have comes from.

[Robert4]

AS wrong as he usually is, i think he might have a point about Malkin. Who's to say she's not a secret Muslim? Frankly, I don't think she hates Muslims enough to overcome the fact that her parents come from a place where Muslims terrorists live. (Phillipines)

[backhoe]

I've had enough of losers like Duncan who hate the right so much they will protect the rights of Jihadist assasins.

Me, too. Had more than enough a long time ago:

-Time to kick the tires & light the fires, folks- terrorism gathers across the World...--

[Robert4]

i'm with you backhoe. then lets make the islamics wear those yellow stars! front and back!

[Mega]

IBD is light years ahead of anything else in the MSM. IBD editorial pages read much more like LGF, Atlas, Jihad Watch than anything. It is like a blog but on paper! That's why I pay them the exorbitant $300 a year for the subscription, as their investing advice isn't all that good.

SJS is something we'll be hearing MUCH more about in the coming years. Unfortunately, it's probably one of those critical-mass type things, where one lone jihadi hears about another one, say, driving over some kids with his SUV, and then the next guy does something "crazy". Then the next one. we're probably in the first inning of a verrrry long game of "Even if you can crush some jihadis in Iraq, you can never effectively deal with the millions of live-wire jihadists living in your own land". The ultimate weapon. And another channel through which the Ummah can do what it does best - scare the shit out of people and make them miserable and anxious, through acts of pointless violence in the name of a 1400 year old book written by a violent daydreamer as he killed time in between making love to his 9 year old wife.

P.S. Atlas - you make getting on the web worthwhile!

[Abu Daboo Doo al Bedrocki]

"Neverforget...Sadly you are right, but they can only arrest so many of us until they run out of space to lock us up...we need to do something because this country is going to hell in a handbasket."

Doctor D, you forget, they will always have plenty of room for people who stand up for themselves. They will just let loose those poor 'undocumented workers' to make room for us. The undocumented workers can then do the jobs that we can't do anymore since we are imprisoned.

Jews and Christians should also be given preferential treatment for immigration, and those from terrorist sponsor countries should not be allowed into the US, period.

The FBI's been a mess for years. The FBI is known in many intel and military circles as "Famous But Incompetent" and for many good reasons. The infamous FBI lab flap from a decade ago has still not been fixed.
