Seattle jihadist gets life sentence for Jewish Federation murders

Haq.jpg Soldier of Islam


Haq, like virtually all other jihadists, played the victim, blaming inadequate mental health care. He was singing a different tune when he called his family after the shootings -- back then he called himself a "soldier of Islam."

"Haq apologizes, receives life sentence for Jewish Federation shooting," by Jennifer Sullivan for the Seattle Times, January 14 (thanks to Phil):

Naveed Haq was sentenced to life in prison this morning for barging into the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle 3 ½ years ago, killing one woman and wounding five others amid an anti-Israel tirade.

Addressing the court for the first time, Haq blamed the shootings on mental illness and lack of treatment.

"I understand you are angry," said Haq, 34. "The tragedy wouldn't have occurred if it wasn't for bad medical care and mental illness."

Haq apologized for the attack "from the depth of my being."

"I am not a man filled with hate," said the Tri-Cities man. "That Naveed Haq at the Federation that July day was not the real Naveed Haq."...

He should have blamed Islamic dogma.

"I am not a man filled with hate," said the Tri-Cities man.
ALL devout Muslims MUST be filled with hate, it's in the Koran.

The mental illness is called Islam.
The treatment is called apostacy (leaving Islam).

"He should have blamed Islamic dogma."

I thought that's what he did when he claimed mental illness.

Haq said he was tired of the world ignoring the Muslim point of view. "I don't care if I die," Haq said to the dispatcher. "This is just to make a point."

I actually DO CARE if you live. Please die, preferably extremely painfully and slowly. Make that point.

"I am not a man filled with hate," said the Tri-Cities man. "I'm just filled with the piss, vinegar and hate of the world's perfect man, Big Mo himself!"

"The tradegy wouldn't have occurred if it wasn't for [Islam, Islam, Islam]."

No 72 virgins for you...Now you will be the virgin for 72...LOL

Jew Lover summed it up perfectly

Just look at that pitiful pathetic Islamic Loser.

Enjoy your LIFE IN PRISON!! Bravo!

And no, the tragedy occurred because of ISLAM.

Unbeliever1, Jew_lover and Ebonystone,

Thank you for the perfect little philosophical dance that the three of you performed to start this off. The truth can be very funny.

Islam is Unconstitutional.
Islam is immoral towards non-Muhammadens.
Islam is criminal.
Islam is a spiritual disease.

Those who are convinced that Islamic source materials, created by Muhammad, are the infallible word of GOD to be followed and practiced obediently without question are criminally insane terrorists violating or planning to violate the Constitutional and/or Civil Rights of non-Muhammadens.

Both islam and his face are unmistakably Ugly!

A Porker of islam is a more apt description.

if this muslim is truly sorry, let him renounce islam since it is the source of his hate and killing spree.

Shoulda used the Twinkie Defense - from the looks of him the jury would have bought it...

OT...

Did anyone made a list of "islam resume" with headlines and dates?
Could come in very handy in blogs.
Some idiot posted somewhere "do you remember the crusades?". My answer was "no, it was a long time ago. I don't remember. What I remember very well is [I just listed the latest 'achievements' by islam in recent days]"

Was just wondering if someone made such a list.

""The tragedy wouldn't have occurred if it wasn't for bad medical care and mental illness."


That is what you get with Islam...

As a northwest resident (well, and a human being!) I am glad at least this guy isn't getting some ridiculous sentence (no parole) though having to support a man with tax dollars doesn't not seem very deterring for murders.

Hey Ted, if you click on this link it will take you to a list compiled of islamic terror attacks for the past two months:

And thanks to the guys at TROP for compiling and updating the list.

Here's their FAQ page regarding the list:

The List

Hope it helps.

Ted, the folks at the website thereligionofpeace.com keep such a list. Looks up-to-date:

Question_Everything and Vee - THANK YOU!

Much appreciated! Very impressive! Will put it to good use! ;)

You're welcome. Forgot to say, "scroll down the page", but I guess you figured that out OK.

If it hadn't been for that claim of "mental illness", the prossecution would have sought the death penalty.

From the article:

That Naveed Haq at the Federation that July day was not the real Naveed Haq."...
..............

well, I'm sure that's a great source of comfort to Haq's victims and their loved ones. sarc/off

It's worth remembering how especially ugly this attack was.

Haq forced his way through the Jewish Federation building's security door armed with two large-caliber semi-automatic pistols, a knife, and extra ammunition. He grabbed the little 14-year-old niece of a Federation employee, held a gun to the girl's back and forced her to use the intercom in order to gain entry to the Federation's offices.

Haq then began shouting "I'm a Muslim American; I'm angry at Israel" before he began his shooting spree. Haq walked down the hallway, shooting into offices as he passed by. Haq then shot three more women in the abdomen. Another woman received a gunshot in the chest. As she attempted to flee down a flight of stairs, Haq reached over the railing and shot her for the second time in the head, killing her.

Dayna Klein, a Federation employee who was five months pregnant, heard the shots being fired and as she went to the door of her office, Haq fired at her abdomen, but the bullet missed, hitting her raised arm.

Haq then moved to another section of the building and Klein, bleeding profusely, crawled to her desk and dialed 911, despite Haq's threats to kill anyone who called the police. Haq eventually returned to Klein's office and discovered her on the phone, at which point he reportedly shouted "Now since you don't know how to ... listen, now you're the hostage, and I don't give a (expletive) if I kill you or your baby."

Klein told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer that Haq "...stated that he was a Muslim, and this was his personal statement against Jews and the Bush administration for giving money to Jews, and for us Jews for giving money to Israel, about Hezbollah, the war in Iraq, and he wanted to talk to CNN."

Klein then offered Haq the phone and suggested that he tell the dispatcher what he had just told her.

Still pointing his gun at Klein, Haq took the phone and informed the police that he had taken hostages. He repeated his previous explanation that he was upset about the war in Iraq and U.S. support of Israel. He also said, "these are Jews. I’m tired of getting pushed around, and our people getting pushed around by the situation in the Middle East." He also demanded that the US military get out of Iraq.

He asked if he could be patched through to CNN. The dispatcher told Haq that wasn't possible, and informed him that talking with the media wouldn't alter U.S. policy.
...

We have all the ugly elements here: specifically targeting Jews; threatening a child to gain access; the taking of hostages; targeting women, especially a woman who was pregnant; going after victims he had already shot in order to finish them off; warning them to do nothing to protect themselves, not even calling 911; the specific comments that he was Muslim; the sense of victimization, that he and his "people" were being "pushed around"; the desire to make his hideous act of Jihad violence a pulpit for airing his grievances to the media.

It's all there. This was Jihad terrorism.

Thank you for that replay, gravenimage - especially for those new to this site and/or need reminding.

It's important.

The tragedy wouldn't have occurred if it wasn't for the fact that the guy is a Muslim.

"Haq ...stated that he was a Muslim, and this was his personal statement against Jews and the Bush administration for giving money to Jews, and for us Jews for giving money to Israel,"

Apparently, pouring over $60 billion in hard cash, countless financial grants, countless food aid, equipment and weapons aid, training, logistical and tactical support, countless foreign aid packages and continued diplomatic support from the United States since 1948 (not counting the $10.9 billion aid from the Obama administration) to Mr Naveed Haq's corrupt native country of Pakistan, a known terrorist training headquarters, counts for nothing.
All Haq and his thankless scumbag supporters want is more aid and to wage jihad against their aid provider, America, and slaughter American taxpayers in broad daylight.
STOP ALL MUSLIM IMMIGRATION NOW!!!!


Thats a nice reguler moderate muslim that you had beers with. Just a reguler fellow. except that one day he developed sudden jihad syndrome. Thats when he decided to kill some jews and get sent to his 72 young bountiful virgins. Unfortuntly he wasn't killed, and he had to face the trial. poor sucker, poor fool, oh well there is always a chance he can martyr himself in prison.

Haq..."The tragedy wouldn't have occurred if it wasn't for bad medical care and mental illness.

I bet he had an untreated toothache that drove him nuts...Happens all the time...I know when I get a serious toothache the first thing I think of is shooting some Jews...


Thanks for this insight. I'm going to research all of the recently detained and killed jihadists and cross reference their dental care records.

If only some of our aid dollars had been utilized to help instill a good routine of dental hygiene in the islamic countries, this tragedy could have been avoided! This post reminds me that I've got to floss tonight lest I have thoughts of murdering heretical Protestants and those betrayers of Jesus the Jews...

Thanks for the chuckle duh_swami!

It also appears that too many first cousin marriages were involved.

"'The tragedy wouldn't have occurred if it wasn't for bad medical care and mental illness.' (Naveed Haq)

"That is what you get with Islam...." (pulsar182)

Yes, I doubt that an extra glass of camel urine or an extra morning nose-snort (the two mainstays of Islamic medicine) would have stopped him.

"I am not a man filled with hate"

But in any half-decent country he would be a man filled with lead.

Thank you, Vee. The attack was more horrifying than the bland article above indicates, and I thought it was important to revisit the atrocity.

As for Haq's grotesque claim that "The tragedy wouldn't have occurred if it wasn't for bad medical care and mental illness", nothing could be further from the truth. The Seattle area has *dozens* of mental health clinics and hospitals, many free or low cost.

This was a calculated, premeditated act of Jihad terrorism. The claims of "mental illness" are only for the defense.

Naveed is one sick prick!

Naveed is one sick prick!

Naveed is one sick prick!

Lies, denial, lies, denial, lies ...and more lies and denial! ..O, and that icky chest hair is sooo repulsive.

"The tragedy wouldn't have occurred if it wasn't for bad medical care and mental illness," said Haq, 34.

Gee, if only we'd already had Obamacare, this tragedy would have been averted. It's all the fault of those conservative Republicans. That's assuming, of course, that somewhere in the 1000+ page health-care bill, which no Congressman has ever read, that provision is made for the daily glass of camel urine. If there's no such provision, the bill is clearly bigoted against Islam and should not be passed.

I can't trust myself to post what I really think about these pathetic, murderous and stupid Islamic throwbacks ... so I won't mention what I'd like to happen to this particular specimen: involving a rather hot fire, a good supply of lead and copper, a gunsmith with sundry ingredients and paraphernalia, the victims relatives with another couple million volunteers, and a free-fire zone.

Oh my, these Muslims are some of the most vile and stupid people on the planet.

God help us all, even me God, if you decide not to send me to the cornfield.

Why are these Muslims terrorist scumbags always so damned ugly?

What odds Naveed spends 90% of each morning in front of the mirror, drooling, and combing his chest hair UPWARDS?

Funny you should mention that...........

Go to consang.net. Guess which two countries lead the world in relatives marrying relatives.

Good guess. It's Saudi Arabia and Pakistan. What a surprise!

In Heinlein's 'Starship Troopers' a soldier, Dillinger, is executed for killing a baby girl. These are the thoughts of the hero, just after witnessing the hanging.

"If Dillinger had understood what he was doing (which seemed incredible) then he got what was coming to him ... except that it seemed a shame that he hadn’t suffered as much as had little Barbara Anne - he practically hadn’t suffered at all.
But suppose, as seemed more likely, that he was so crazy that he had never been aware that he was doing anything wrong? What then?
Well, we shoot mad dogs, don’t we?
Yes, but being crazy that way is a sickness —
I couldn’t see but two possibilities. Either he couldn’t be made well, in which case he was better dead for his own sake and for the safety of others — or he could be treated and made sane. In which case (it seemed to me) if he ever became sane enough for civilized society ... and thought over what he had done while he was 'sick' —what could be left for him but suicide? How could he live with himself?
And suppose he escaped before he was cured and did the same thing again? And maybe again? How do you explain that to bereaved parents? In view of his record?
I couldn’t see but one answer."

This makes sense to me, and it would make sense applied to the animal pictured above.

Naveed is one sick prick!

One of my favorite books................ the movies were a real disappointment.

What Heinlein is talking about is the right of civilization to protect itself from the predators that live amongst us, pretending to be human beings.

Do any of us doubt that Theodore (Ted) Bundy should have been killed? Bundy escaped from jail twice and killed again before the state of Florida killed him. What about Hitler, Stalin, Mao? What about Saddam? What about the BTK killer? John Wayne Gacy? Jack the Ripper? The list is ever growing.......

Seems to me that the least a government can do it is to protect us from those who would do us harm. Instead of more and more spending on pet projects of the political class. Instead of denying that our enemies even exist.

"The tragedy wouldn't have occurred if it wasn't for bad medical care and mental illness."

bad medical care? In a country that has probably the best medical care in the world? Certainly far better than the medical care he would have received in his own country. I don't understand why people who come to this country and then use whatever BS religious or political excuse to attack our citizens are not automatically put to death - regardless of any claims of insanity. There should be NO leniency on terrorists!

One of your favorite authors too, I would guess, tanstaafl...

The film of SS was a joke. The director admitted he hadn't even read the book!

Back on topic, does a sentence of life imprisonment really mean that, or does this animal walk after a few years?
