More details on the jihadist killer who murdered one and wounded five at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle yesterday. "Hatred hits home: 6 shot at Jewish office," from the Seattle Times, with thanks to Rudi:
A Muslim man angry with Israel barged into the offices of the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle Friday afternoon and opened fire with a handgun, killing one woman and wounding five others before surrendering to police.Three of the women were in critical condition late Friday.
A law-enforcement source identified the arrested suspect as Naveed Afzal Haq, 30, who until recently had lived in Everett, and said Haq apparently has a history of mental illness. Court records show Haq has a charge of lewd conduct pending against him in Benton County.
So that is what the focus will be upon: mental illness and lewd conduct. And once again the media will ignore the question of why a man who describes himself as a Muslim American angry at Israel would think that murder of innocents was an appropriate outlet for his anger. No one will ever consider whether such behavior is encouraged by the texts and atmospherics of Islam, and if so, what can be done about it.
The shooting came a day after the FBI had warned Jewish organizations nationwide to be on alert after Hezbollah leaders in Lebanon and al-Qaida's second in command urged that the war raging in the Middle East be carried to the U.S. However, the law-enforcement source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said there is no evidence Haq was involved with any group.
When (if ever) will law enforcement officials realize that it is enough for Zawahiri and others to say this sort of thing? That that in itself is enough to move some Muslims to act? There doesn't need to be any organizational connection for there to be an ideological connection, an identity of motive and goal.
"He said he hates Israel," said the source, who is part of the Seattle Joint Terrorism Task Force, which was called in to help investigate the shootings.David Gomez, the assistant special agent-in-charge of the Seattle FBI office, said there is "nothing to indicate he is part of a larger organization."
"We believe he is a lone individual with antagonism toward this organization," said Gomez.
He didn't say he was angry with the Jewish Center. He said he was angry with Israel. Israel is not an organization. It is a sovereign state.
Witnesses said the man announced he was an Muslim American as he forced his way into the federation offices just after 4 p.m. and fired randomly at employees with a semiautomatic 9-mm handgun. Seattle Police Assistant Chief Nick Metz said there were at least 18 people in the offices when the shooting started.Witnesses say the gunman shot one receptionist, then ordered her to dial 911. He then took the phone from her.
"He told the police that it was a hostage situation and he wanted us to get our weapons out of Israel," said one woman who heard the account from the wounded co-worker.
Yes, this is all about mental illness. This has nothing to do with jihadist hostage-taking and murder.
The woman, who would not allow her name to be used, said she was at her desk when she heard what she thought were balloons popping."It went 'Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop! Pop!' and then we heard a woman scream," said the employee. The man surrendered about 15 minutes after the shooting started. The center is located on Third Avenue between Lenora and Virginia streets in Belltown.
During a news conference Friday night, Seattle Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske said that, based on the conversation Haq had with 911 dispatchers, police are treating the shootings as a hate crime.
A Harborview Medical Center spokesman said all the victims were women, ranging in age from their early 20s to 40s. Three were in critical condition and underwent surgery Friday evening. One woman, age 43, was shot in the abdomen, according to Seattle Fire Department medics. Another was 17 weeks pregnant.
One of the victims was identified by family members as 23-year-old Layla Bush. "We just heard she's alive a minute or two ago," said her mother, Kathryn Bush, from her home in Panama City, Fla. The other wounded victims have been identified as Carol Goldman, Dayna Klein, Christina Rexroad and Cheryl Stumbo.
Most of the shooting victims were able to flee the building. Federation employee Marla Meislin-Dietrich said security videotapes show the gunman shoved his way past another employee who had just entered a pass code to open a security door.
"He was armed and he pushed his way in," she said.
Amy Wasser-Simpson, the vice president for planning and community services for the Jewish Federation, said the man told staff members, "I'm a Muslim American; I'm angry at Israel," then began shooting, Wasser-Simpson said she heard the account from staff members who witnessed the shootings....
Haq's father, Mian A. Haq, was a founding member of the Islamic Centre of Tri-Cities in Richland, said center member Youseff Shehadeh. He described the younger Haq as a loner who attended holidays at the center but was barely involved in recent years.
Naveed Haq's parents moved into a new suburb in Pasco less than three years ago after living in nearby Richland for more than a decade, said Maureen Hales, a neighbor.
Mian Haq was involved in an Islamic center in Richland, but he did not discuss his religion with his neighbors, said Hales.
She said she had not seen Naveed Haq, but found his parents and his younger brother, Hasan, to be "quite enjoyable." The two families exchanged food, and Maureen Hales said she watches the Haqs' house when they're away.
Naveed Haq lived in an apartment building at 2924 Nassau St. in Everett until about two weeks ago, when he abruptly left, said tenant Chris Richey. The landlady told Richey that Haq was heading to Pakistan. Richie often talked with Haq about guns and politics, though little stuck out. Richey said Haq didn't like President Bush....
"There was something strange about him," Richey said. "There was something about him I didn't like."
A friend, Andres Atencio, 29, a real-estate agent in Maple Valley, said he lost touch with Haq after high school. He described Haq as studious and friendly.
"He was pretty much just a normal guy. He was a little more toward the academic side than the average high-school person," Atencio said. "He was the kind of guy when you talked to him he was always laughing ... not outgoing but not reclusive either."...
Kerlikowske said extra officers would be posted at temples, synagogues and mosques in the area even though Seattle police and the FBI believe the shooter acted alone.
He said police would be posted at mosques to prevent "retaliatory" crimes.
Great. I'm glad of that. But it should be borne in mind that there have been virtually no such "relatiatory" crimes -- not in North Carolina after Taheri-azar committed his jihad attack in Chapel Hill, not after another jihadist shot up the El Al ticket counter at LAX, and not after other Muslims have committed jihad hate attacks in the U.S.
The Washington, D.C.-based Council on American-Islamic Relations, issued a statement calling the shootings a "senseless attack on a religious institution.""The American Muslim and Jewish communities must do whatever is within their power to prevent the current conflict in the Middle East from being transplanted to this country," the council said.
Good. Then I expect CAIR will stop enflaming tensions with trumped-up hate crimes and speciously vague condemnations of terrorism.
Here is the obligatory story about what a great guy Haq is and what a surprise this is -- also from the Seattle Times, with thanks to Rudi.

This incident is a perfect example of why Jews need their own state. Jews were not safe in Europe, and with the Muslim population growing rapidly throughout the world and now America, Jews are not even safe in the US any more. Now if only the Jews could get rid of the Muslims living, working and voting in Israel...some people predict that soon Muslims will outnumber Jews in Israel, because of their much higher birth rates. The only long term answer is for an Islamic reformation or mass apostasy. I fear for the future of the human race.

And here's an egregious non-sequitur from Reuters, from tvnz.co.nz http://tvnz.co.nz/view/page/411749/798654
, the last line of the "report" on the shooting:
n 1999, white supremacist Buford Furrow went on a shooting rampage at a Jewish community center outside Los Angeles, wounding five people including children. Later that day, he shot and killed a Filipino mail carrier.
Appalling, but not surprising.

It's truly an astonishing coincidence that every Jihadist murderer and terrorist always suffers from mental illness. It's like, if you're a Muslim and you become mentally ill, you immediately become angry at Israel/Jews/infidels/Western civilization/women who are unveiled/blahblah and then kill someone.
Next thing you know, some Islamophobe will probably suggest that Islam is causing this behavior. Ridiculous!

This Naveed Haq is crazy. Call it mentally ill if you want. That by itself did not make him gun down five Jewish women like a yellow bellied coward. Islam had to be added to the mix. Within the last few months Muhammadan "crazies" have been acting out here (USA)
1-Naveed Haq
2-The Muslim who plowed his car into the Home Depot paint section while shouting "Allah Akbar" (Arizona)
3- NC University crazy plowing into students there w/ his car
4- The son of Allah who was drunk and plowed into people outside a nightclub he had been "humiliated" in

Jordanian soldier kills 7 Israeli schoolgirls
March 13, 1997
Motive unclear:
The gunman's motives were not immediately known. Jordanian soldiers at the scene said he "went crazy."
DETAILS:
NAHARAYIM, Jordan (CNN) -- A Jordanian soldier opened fire Thursday on Israeli junior high school girls visiting a border observation post. At least seven girls died, and six were injured, two critically.
Jordan's King Hussein expressed outrage at the killings, but defended his earlier warning that Israel's hard-line policies could cause an outbreak of violence. He cut short a visit to Spain to return to Jordan.
Witnesses said a bus dropped off about 40 girls at the observation post on the Jordan River island of Naharayim -- known as the "Island of Peace'' -- on the Israeli-Jordanian border.
While the girls admired the view, there was a hail of automatic gunfire as the soldier, Lance Cpl. Ahmed Yousef Mustafa, chased the terrified seventh- and eighth-graders down a hill. He had changed ammunition clips before he was overpowered by other Jordanian soldiers, authorities said.

"Crazy."
The entire Muslim world consists largely of people who are raised in a politico-theological belief-system that offers a Total Regulation of Life and a Complexe Explanation of the Universe. The idea that the Qur'an contains all of wisdom and includes all the scientific discoveries that have been made since its appearance, or that ever will be made (in this respect the Qur'an is like the famous Master of Balliol, Benjamin Jowett: "I am the master of this college/And what I don't know isn't knowledge) is or must be rejected by the more intelligent, but the more intelligent have to be wary of expressing their doubts, for this totalitarian belief-system has its enforcers, or rather the Qur'an and Sunnah prescribe what should be done to those who fall away from Belief into Unbelief. Thus does the open expression of any kind of skepticism, or the open encouragement, of any kind of free inquiry, become discouraged -- on pain, often, of death, or at least complete social ostracism (loss of family and friends) and economic marginalization (loss of job).
In this world, what rational non-Muslims regard as "crazed" behavior is not crazed at all. Look at those all-male mobs, one after the other, screaming their hate all over the Muslim world. Look at those dull-eyed hijabbed prematurely aged women, mere breeders kept in permanent thrall, look at the level of what passes for schooling, what pass for universities, what passes for coverage of the world in the Arab press and television. Look at the effect on a billion believers of being taught, being inculcated with the idea, that Muhammad was the Perfect Man, uswa hasana, al-insan al-kamil, and then simultaneously having to reconcile this article of Faith with what Muhammad was really like, in his wars and his loot-grabbing and booty-distribution, in his laughingly regarding the massacres of helpless prisoners, or encouraging, and welcoming the news of, the assassination of anyone who dared to mock him (Asma bint Marwan), and then there were his attacks on the innocent farmers of Khaybar (this unprovoked attack on helpless farmers is described in an AP dispatch yesterday on the new Iranian-supplied rocket used by Hezbollah, a dispatch written by one Kathy Gannon, as being named after the "battle of Khaybar" -- some battle.
All of this makes an entire society "crazy." It makes it far more prone to crazed views of the world, crazed hatred of Infidels (for they are to be hated, and if they are to be hated, no matter what, it is important to tell onself, to convince oneself and all other Infidels, that the Infidels are terrible, that the Infidels are monsters, that the Infidels even when they try to do seeming good to Muslims are in fact always scheming against them). And all of this makes people deny so many parts of reality, so many obvious definitions of "good" and "evil" that their heads spin, and they live in a constant miasma -- what I have been calling, and Robert carefully calls above -- the "atmospherics" of Islam. And those "atmospherics" are reproduced even in the Lands of the Infidels, wherever Muslims live with other Muslims, or even by themselves, when they live in a universe mentally formed by, and limited mostly to, Islam.
Muslim apologists tell us that this or that individual Muslim was crazy. Taheri-Reza was "crazy." And the Jordanian who killed those seven little girls visiting the Peace Garden in 1997 was "crazy." The Egyptian soldier who killed Israeli children and their parents visiting in Egypt was declared "crazy." The copilot of that Egypt Air plane was "crazy." The terrorist here, the terrorist there -- all "crazy."
Well, are all the members of Hamas and Hezbollah and Al-Qaeda and Lashkar-e-Taiba and the thousand other groups all "crazy"? The views of all of them, the support they all give to the acts of that Jordanian soldier, that Egyptian soldier, that Iranian tarheel, that shooter at LAX, that smiling yearbook boy above who was mad at Israel and who did not what was "crazy" but what all Muslims will understand, just as they will understand the need to call him "crazy" (and some in the American police and FBI will want eagerly to go along with this fiction).
But let's take for now a different tack. Let's agree that a certain number of people in every society get depressed. Let's agree that they get mad at someone and something. The problem is that Muslims take as the Perfect Man someone who led a life not akin to that of Jesus, but a life full of warfare, full of violence. And he is their Model for All Time. He is the best. The violence of Islamic societies, the high premium placed on warfare, the readiness to fight, the willingness to die, possibly has, over 1350 years helped to breed out the less violent, those inclined to a certain meek-and-mildness, and has encouraged the predominance of the more violent in the Muslim gene-pool.
I will simply repost here what was put up about Taheri-reza, the North Carolina student, born of Muslim parents who did not take Islam seriously, but he, in his mental disarray, did:
"Please let us echo in your ears that my brother was and always has been a kind, gentle and pure soul,” she read from a statement. “His current actions and words are as much a source of shock and distress to us as they are to you.”
-- from this AP article, from the sister of the kind and gentle soul who plowed an SUV into a crowd of college students.
No doubt, for a Muslim, much of it true -- he is a "kind, gentle and pure soul" in many ways. But not toward Infidels. There the adjectives begin to jostle one another. The purer his Islam, the less kind and gentle he would be toward Infidels -- as the Qur'an tells him (48:29), as the Hadith makes clear in its most authoritative recensions, as the example of Muhammad instructs.
And when an Infidel experiences mental desarroi or depression, he can blame his parents, his children, his siblings, his karma, The System, Amerika, the stars, fate, his cholesterol level, his serotonin level, or even --- himself. When a Muslim falls into any kind of distress, with that mental vademecum and pocket prism through which to view the universe, Islam, he can blame the Infidel. (And this assumes, which may not be true, that Taheri-azar did not quite take the tenets and attitudes of Islam as much to heart before, when he was merely that "kind, gentle and pure soul.")
This kind of thing, this Muslim version of the old immigrant mother in the Jimmy-Cagney movie assuring the police that "my boy's a good boy," is particularly telling. For it happens all the time, with suspect after suspect -- the terrorists in London or Madrid or elsewhere are always being described, by a brother, an uncle, a father, someone, as "kind" and "gentle" and "pure." The message always is: How Could It Possibly Have Happened?
Now, two things are possible. Both should not relieve, but increase, the alarm and suspicion felt by intelligent Infidels. One possibility is that this sister is flatly lying, that she knows perfectly well her brother was consumed with the anti-Infidel teachings of Islam, and had given many signs of it. The possibility is that all these family members (that uncle of one of the London bombers, who first expressed his "amazement" at his nephew's action, and later expressed not amazement at all, but pride in the actions) understand perfectly why their son, brother, nephew, did what he did, and the obvious sources for his attitudes and actions.
The second possibility, far less likely, but still conceivable in a few cases, is that some of these people really are not quite aware of the natural effect of Islam on those who take Islam seriously. Again and again "moderate" Muslims, or those who are not even really Muslims but rather "Muslim-for-identification-purposes-only" Muslims, have themselves been amazed, when they return to a Muslim environment, to see the effect of Islam. How many of those the American government listened to in fashioning its Iraq policies were of the latter kind, the Allawi-Chalabi-Makiya kind -- the essentially secular Shi'a who had spent decades in the West and became westernized, and forgot or allowed themselves to forget just how crazy, how aggressive, how conspiratorial, how antipathetic to the ideas of compromise and power-sharing and common sense, is the world of Islam, a world that combines a dreamy blend of inshallah-fatalism with the duty of Jihad, which requires action, action, action (not the action of Western man, going to work every day, piling one stone on another to build the edifice of an economy or a civilization). That action is not to build but to either destroy (what the Infidel has) or to appropriate it (through Jizyah in all of its disguised and undisguised forms) or to seize it, as Muhammad seized the booty of those he would declare, in order to seize that booty, his enemies, such as the inoffensive Jewish farmers of the Khaybar Oasis.
So which is it? Is it the deliberate attempts by all these family members of all these terrorists to deceive us, which means they are exhibiting the problem with so-called "moderate Muslims" whose behavior simply deceives us and keeps us fooled a bit longer?
Or are those family members themselves fooled? And if they are, then how is that Infidels should be expected to detect the Muslim immigrant who is like, or will turn out to be, just like Taheri-azar, and the one who is like, or will turn out to be, just like his presumably inoffensive sister? If "only" 10% of Muslims in the West support "suicide bombing" (the figure is much higher in the opinion polls) or "only" 40% of Muslims in England support the imposition of Sharia' law in England -- which would mean the end of England as it has slowly been fashioned since the days of the Standing Stones of Callanish, and Stonehenge, and woad-painted tribesman -- what does this mean?
Why should Infidels take a chance, if the likelihood of their being able to distinguish the "moderate" from the "immoderate" Muslim is even slimmer than that of the closest relatives of those Muslims found to have engaged in would-be, or successful, acts of terrorism -- and given that the problem is complicated by the "My Son the Fanatic" problem where the children or grandchildren of "moderates" who may be classified mainly as economic migrants "return" to Islam, with dangerous consequences for Infidels?
The sister of Taheri-azar, like all the other relatives "amazed" at the "inexplicable" behavior of their relatives, are apparently unable cannot figure out what it is, what doctrines and attitudes, what passages in what set of texts, taken seriously, might have caused her kind, her gentle, her pure-souled brother to do what he did.
She can't figure it out. But we can."

"Then I expect CAIR will stop enflaming tensions with trumped-up hate crimes and speciously vague condemnations of terrorism."
CAIR literally has to make mountains out of moll hills in a desperate attempt to draw equivalency between moll hills and the many mountain ranges of Islamic intolerance and violence. It's offending ordinary folks.
The situation with Islam generally is similar to that of the Soviet Union in the late 1970s and 1980's when it was becoming apparent that the Soviet system was a complete failure and morally bankrupt. The USSR under Brezhnev and later Andropov became increasingly repressive and aggressive because the Soviet leadership sensed that once the Soviets faced the facts the system would collapse. In a similar manner, CAIR and other apologists for Islam have to divert issues because it is too dangerous to look at reality.
Islam is an intolerant religion that is prone to violence. That is reality.
at July 29, 2006 9:28 AM
I was listening to the Seattle radio stations last evening. Unfortunately, the conservative stations didn't have any live hosts at that hour, so I listened to the squishy lib station. A local spokesman for the islamic community called in (he was just returning from an anti-Israel rally) and expressed his shock at the actions of the shooter. Thankfully, a very articulate jew called in just after him and told the host that we needed to study the texts of this religion and see if there is something about islam that is causing this. He was as circumspect as he needed to be to avoid being cut off. Several callers made the same point, including a jewish caller from New Jersey, who countered the host's position that all religions have crazys. He asked where are the Jewish, Christian, and Buddhist crazys? Even an agnostic made the same point. There were many calls from the usual 'can't we just sit down and talk together?' crowd of useful idiots.
As the show progressed, the host got to the point of throwing up his hands and saying that we really didn't know much about what had happened, yet. It could have been a muslim or maybe a jew that did the shooting.... maybe it was just some disgruntled employee, or jilted lover... It was sad to hear such denial of the obvious, but I was encouraged to hear some people getting the truth on the air.

FWIW I've met many Muslim Arabs here (USA) and none have struck me as stupid. Of course this might be explained by the "self selection" process that some immigrants go through. Mexicans for example do not go through this process because it's so damn easy for them to gain entry.

One more previous posting on the same theme, this one prompted by the argument of Moussaoui's court-appointed defense lawyer, that Moussaoui must be "crazy" (bonkers, nuts, cingle), put here because the list of what melancholic or thwarted Infidels may blame is included, as a contrast to the limited list ("Infidels") readily available to Muslims as a result of their having the prefabricated mental grid of Islam:
"The list of mitigating circumstances that apparently resulted in Moussaoui receiving a life sentence instead of the death penalty reads like a parody of everything that is most sentimental and silly in modern psychiatry (Karl Kraus: "Psychoanalysis is the disease for which it is supposed to be the cure").
What the prosecution should have done, but apparently felt it could not do, or possibly simply did not ever even think of doing, was to preempt both the "insanity" and the "on account of he's deprived" excuses, and set out clearly why Moussaoui did what he did with clear and uninhibited discussion of that book he was clutching -- the Qur'an -- and with the Qur'an, the Hadith. And with the Hadith, the figure of Muhammad, uswa hasana and al-insan al-kamil.
Did the psychiatrist Dr. Vogelsang (one more Upper-West-Side name out of Lillian Ross's comical period-piece "Vertical and Horizontal") give any sign of having studied the belief-system of Islam, without which no conceivable judgment can be made about the sanity, or lack of it, of a devout Muslim such as Moussaoui?
Why didn’t the Prosecution rebut the argument of the defense lawyer that Moussaoui is "crazy" because of his wretched childhood, etc. by pointing out that a large number of other people -- such as Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawihiri and Mohammed Atta -- were children of great privilege in the case of the first two, and middle-class in the case of the third, and that furthermore studies of terrorists had found them to be far above average, in their societies, in the amount of education they had received, and in the degree of their economic wellbeing?
Lay it all out. Explain that yes, Moussaoui, like a few billion other people, may have had a "deprived" childhood. Yes, he was quick to sense any slight, and yes, he was quick to resent his treatment at the hands of Infidels, because, as a Muslim (one who grew to be more and more faithful and observant) he knew that Muslims should be on top -- not equal, but on top. Infidels lording it over him, or other Muslims, in France, were contra naturam, against the natural and just and right order of things, islamically speaking. The prosecutors should have explained that Moussaoui viewed the world through the prism of Islam, and the texts he read, the society he inhabited (both real, and virtual), taught him to blame, always and everywhere, Infidels.
Eventually this is going to have to be done. Eventually this is going to be unavoidable, if the United States and other Infidel countries are going to continue to use the criminal justice system as it is, and to continue to rely on untrained and inexpert juries who are the products of their age -- with all its sentimentality about mitigating circumstances because, you see, the blame for your behavior can always, always, be found in some part of your background, so that blame can be passed onto one's upbringing, say.
But this misses the point. There are always people who have had unhappy childhoods, unhappy adolescences, unhappy adulthoods. As noted many times before, we who are Infidels may lose status, a job, a spouse, a girlfriend or boyfriend, or suffer setbacks or perceived slights. Did not Moussaoui think he was entitled to more than he received? Yet his inshallah-fatalism prevented him from simply working hard and doing what he could to overcome, as his brother did, that same background. Why? The answer is that he took Islam far more seriously, was far more of a deep believer, than his brother.
Infidels have a thousand things to blame. They can blame their parents -- just as many on that Infidel jury wanted to blame, for Moussaoui, his treatment by his parents. They can blame their aggressive or unpleasant siblings, their ungrateful children, the System, Racism, The Man, Amerikkka, Kapitalism, Fate, the stars, their cholesterol level, their serotonin level, anything and everything at all -- even, just perhaps, themselves. But Muslim Believers have one thing to blame always at the ready. And to the extent that one takes that belief-system seriously, it is likely that one will, viewing the universe through the grid, the prism, of Islam, blame the Infidel. And that is exactly what Moussaoui did.
Unless this is going to be understood by the usual "experts" -- including those complacent psychiatrists who appear not to have thought it necessary for them to study the doctrines of Islam and what might follow and has naturally followed from them (starting with the perceived behavior of Muslims conducting Jihad over 1350 years, wherever they were able to conduct it because of local conditions or circumstances) -- then there will be more miscarriages, with justice stillborn, the result of those thanatotropic bromides and thalidomides, sentimentality and ignorance.
And what do we conclude? We have two possible conclusions:
1) Moussaoui was and is simply following the tenets of Islam faithfully, and putting into practice the requirement that at least some Muslims must engage in Jihad (in order that others may, temporarily, be relieved of the duty).
OR
2) Moussaoui became depressed, as so many of us do, all over the Infidel world as well, but in the case of Muslims, the problem is that that depression, or any kind of emotional setback, can lead to blaming the Infidel. Viewing the universe through the prism of Islam makes one almost automatically ready to blame that Infidel, and to seek revenge.
Those are the two possible explanations.
And either one has immense implications for the Muslim presence all over Europe and North America. For the sake of the legal and social order and the physical wellbeing of the resident Infidels who created those societies and have no desire to see them islamized, these implications need to be faced."

This type of killing - like this nice "next-door" guy Haq has commited - its a sign of weakness - nothing else. If those buttheads could have any doubts about Israel crushing Nasrallah - they would smile and remain at home. Only deep inner feeling that their fight is doomed - make them crazy.
Any of the "leaders" of their struggle - Nasrallah, Al Quaida - whatever - they keep it cool on their videos etc. only cause victory over the "infidels" never was their true aim!!!
They fight for money and power - so the fact that eventually any terroristic organization will be crushed - makes no concern. They just project self confidense and serenity to their looney followers - so they keep fighting and remain loyal.
Jihad is weak! Its just needs a nice push in the belly to make it hide in the caves. So believe me - dont be affraid to tell fellow american-islamists that the minute they question your country values - they get busted out. They still may spend a poetic lifetime in the dunes of Pakistan....

Hugh-
Interesting comments, again.
I think the idea of what is normal can indeed be warped by a collective mental illness. For example, in the Nazi death camps, Nazi beliefs about Jews and Slavs led the SS to engage in behavior that was not considered abnormal or immoral by them. The Jews and Slavs were "subhuman" (Americans were considered a "mongrel people" by Hitler.)In like manner the label "Infidel" permits Muslims to see Infidels as subhumans worthy of death.
The truth is that this perception would still exist in Germany if the Nazis had not gotten the shit kicked out of them by the subhuman Russians and the mongrel Americans. That made the Nazis face reality. I think Islam will face reality when the Islamic world (especially Muslims in the Mideast) face what Nazi Germany faced in 1945. Reason is useless in this matter.

Over the years I have met and worked with many of THEM, I will never trust one of THEM ever again. I consider every one of THEM a jihadist-in-waiting.
I am going to repeat myself - If law enfocement in Seattle can't find a hate-crime in this incident, then the people of Seattle need new prosecuters. A law enforcement official who lacks the courage the meet the enemy head-on, is a bed-wetting coward who is better suited chasing ambulances.
I am not a fan of trial lawyers; however, I will make an exception in this case. The families of the dead and injured need to file a lawsuit and put Naveed Afzal Haq, the Quran, and Sharia on trial.

According to an investigation conducted by the Northeast Intelligence Network, HAQ might have connections to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and might have attended college in Pennsylvania sometime between 1998 and 2003. Additionally, our law enforcement sources are maintaining that HAQ was reportedly in possession of a copy Qu'ran and possessed Arabic language terrorist documents.' The shooting well planned, and HAQ might have conducted surveillance of this facility in the days before shooting.

Pelayo of Asturias
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pelayo (in Spanish), Pelágio (in Portuguese), or Pelagius (in Latin) (690–737) was the founder of the Kingdom of Asturias, ruling from 718 until his death. He is credited with beginning the Christian Reconquista or reconquest of the Iberian peninsula (modern Portugal and Spain) from the Moors.
-Monument in memory of Pelayo in Covadonga-
Pelayo was a nobleman of high birth in the Visigothic kingdom that held power in Hispania from the early fifth century until its defeat by the Moors at the Battle of Guadalete in 711. He escaped capture at the Guadalete River, where he may have been one of the bodyguards of Roderic, the Visigothic king. Pelayo returned to his native Asturias (in the northern part of modern day Spain) and became the leader of a rebellion against Munuza, the Moorish governor of the area.
He was captured in 717 and imprisoned by the Moors but soon escaped and returned to Asturias, where he defeated Munuza and established the Kingdom of Asturias in 718, with its capital at Cangas de Onis. In accordance with Visigothic custom, he was elected as his nation's first king by a vote of his countrymen.
at July 29, 2006 10:45 AM
"However, the law-enforcement source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said there is no evidence Haq was involved with any group."
So, I guess Islam isn't a group? Right-wing Christians are lumped together as a group, but this Muslim isn't part of any group. How convenient for him and the FBI.
Denial, denial, denial, denial.
Yes, let's all await the first nuclear terror and then start pointing fingers of blame at one another all over again. Is it just a matter of time or do we start thinking bravely and clearly NOW and save lives tomorrow?

I think it is very important to not engage in name calling on this site. One of the reasons I like this site (and why others will like it) is the basic appeal to reason that Spencer and Fitzgerald make on the issue of Islam and Jihad. These folks do not appeal to emotion-just the facts.
Spencer and Fitzgerald remind me of the Dragnet detectives Joe Friday and Bill Gannon (Jack Webb and Harry Morgan). I can't imagine "just the facts, please ma'am, sir" Detective Friday or Detective Gannon calling people names or permitting such behavior.

I live in Seattle. Yesterday, I left work early and drove with my fiance to a concert (Steeley Dan & Michael McDonald).
As I drove along Interstate-5 to pick up my fiance who works in downtown Seattle, I noticed helicopters flying over downtown and heard on the radio that there was a shooting. It turns out that the helicopters responded to the jihad shooter at the Jewish Federation located in downtown Seattle.
On my way home last night after the concert, I passed a local mosque in N. Seattle. I noticed that there was a police officer parked across the street guarding the mosque. The police officer checked me out as I drove across the intersection.
In case you are wondering, the Seattle news coverage on T.V. this morning is reporting that the shooter was a disgruntled Muslim man who was angry with Israel.

I agree with you. Anger is an energy. I think we would agree anger has to be directed by reason to have maximum impact. Let the other side use the labeling, such as "Infidel" and other mindless terms that are not founded in reason. "Don't get mad-get even" is saying the same thing. Anger is a good friend when the angry man keeps a cool head.

I'll bet during the family dinners, imam cleric dad starting ranting about Israel and how the Jews deserved to be killed. Maybe imam cleric dad wanted him to go to Lebanon to fight against the Jews, and he was too chicken to go fight in a REAL war, so he "hunted" down the innocent women.

If our founding fathers were alive today, I think they would groan. Groan to see how a hateful minority is abusing the 1st amendment in order to spread hate and make Jihad. We must prepare ourselves for the fact that many more "mentally ill" muslims are going to attack jews and jewish institutions in the USA. It is of course, a tribute to american tolerance and love of neighbor that mosques are not burning in the USA - at least, not yet. I for one am sick of hearing lame excuses for criminal islamic behaviour and know deep down that if the islamic world was not sitting on 75% of the world's oil reserves, we would not be nearly so politically correct.

I am beginning a list of traitors to be submitted to the government after the next major attack. Lucky for me they show themselves on the news every day. Yes I am angry and I let my emotions show as others here do. The way we move forward is through the free exchange of ideas. The PC crapthink, of hiding emotions is partly responsible for where we are now. Many of us have had enough. My father had some words for me as well, “If you spit on me once, shame on you. If you spit on me twice, shame on me. Keep telling it like you feel everyone. We are not muslims here. I have seen all types of people, and some of them operate amazingly well when they are angry. For others, the kinder gentler approach works. To each his own.

Right on. Still, Washington State courts are pitifully liberal, which means they would find hate crimes against homophobes and black/Latino haters, but not against Muslim Jew or Christian haters. It's one facet of the PC theory that the "underdog," the "powerless," the "disenfranchised" in our society can never be "haters" of the "hegemonic" culture. It's all about "liberation" and "empowerment."

Conflict and war within this country is possible. It may not be there yet but if acts like this keep happening it is only a matter of time. In the 1840s did anyone really think a civil war was possible. Most in the anti-slavery movement wanted a peaceful resolution to the problem however within 20 years it was a shooting war. I feel we are within 5-20 years of a major blood battle within the U.S. with Islam and their allies. It will be ugly and nasty but does anyone see any other solution. Nothing I have heard tells me things are changing. No one has any real plan to resolve this by peace becuase it is impossible. Just like slavery we must all be one or the other. It cannot co-exist with freedom. We cannot have a religious group in this country who is more loyal to fellow muslims then to their country. We cannot have a group which is dedicated to the fall of this country. CAIR may say they want to convert america by "peaceful means" to a Islamic state.....there is no peaceful way that can be done CAIR. Your view and our view can't match.
I would prefer death and a war before that happens. I suppose there is always the hope that Islam will reform itself OR our political leaders will remove them back to the Islamic Ummah.....But how many of you think that is going to happen BEFORE the shooting really gets underway. I see bleeding Kansas but it will be states like Michigan, Tennessee, New York...etc.

No...... the Muslims scholars aren't mistaken.
The Koran provides very clear meaning about the role of Muslims and infidels.
In the Koran, infidels are condemned and expected to be treated as inferiors to Muslims.
The Koran is not a book of double meaning that can be nuanced and re-interpreted to state that Muhammad was a man of peace who brought a message of peace to the world.
Muhammad was a violent man who committed violent acts of aggression in the name of Allah and led a sinful life. Muhammad was not a prophet or true man of God.
These facts from the Koran speak for themselves and can't be altered:
The Victory
[48.13] And whoever does not believe in Allah and His Apostle, then surely We have prepared burning fire for the unbelievers.
The Victory
[48.28] He it is Who sent His Apostle with the guidance and the true religion that He may make it prevail over all the religions; and Allah is enough for a witness.
The Immunity
[9.30] And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away
Quran 47:
SHAKIR: So when you meet in battle those who disbelieve, then smite the necks until when you have overcome them, then make (them) prisoners, and afterwards either set them free as a favor or let them ransom (themselves) until the war terminates. That (shall be so); and if Allah had pleased He would certainly have exacted what is due from them but that He may try some of you by means of others; and (as for) those who are slain in the way of Allah, He will by no means allow their deeds to perish.

Let's drop the pretense.
Why doesn't the media in the West drop the pretense about Islamic terrorism? More and more people, readers and advertisers, we who pay for the media's existence, are waking up to the true nature of Islam. They can no longer claim ignorance. We know, as these pages have shown from a multitude of sources, including reasonable analysis of real evidence, what Islam is: a fear based, pre-medieval religious ideology of intolerance, violent warfare, pullulating replicants of themselves, spreading demographically and migrationally to freedom loving lands, to spread their cursed Jihad of death to the 'unbelievers', with world conquest ambitions, hatred of our freedoms, bigoted hatred of the Jews and so called 'infidels', where "we love death, you love life" is the rule for their suicidal attacks on us, our freedoms, our institutions, our innocent citizens, our laws, our women; all as taught by their criminally delusional pedophile prophet, Mohammed, whose adherents have lost all moorings of rational thinking, leading them to a confused reality, dangerous in the presence of civilized society, and who live in a perpetual state of angry agitation. Is there more than this? Perhaps a consistently lower IQ for the Jihadic masses? Are there any redeeming features to Islam? Not their treatment of women. Unless you love the moon god of evil, Allah, coexisting with its 'other' god, Shaitan, there is little if anything left to love. That violent pre-medieval ideological belief is a disaster in today's modern world.
How many one acts of evil, or madness, does it take to start tallying the results by "crazy" Islamics as being true to Islam? It's all in their Qu'ran. Read it.
It's okay for Arab media, or the repressed press in dictatorial countries to continue with the pretense, because they can do no better. or are afraid for their lives from their clerics of this 'religion of peace.' They are forced to lie. But for the western press and media, there is no excuse. PC'd MSN, are you listening? Your readership wants to know why you are so biased against telling the truth about Islam's terrorism, Jihad ambitions. This is not 'racism' or 'islamophobia'. It is the truth, what you are supposed to report on.
Do you understand? Are you hearing us? Is your media free to drop the pretense, or are you answering to a higher power that will not let you? Is the freedom of journalism still practiced in the West? If not, terror won. Expose the truth.

The list has a couple of problems -- it begins in the 1970s with the Nation of Islam which most people would surgically detach from Islam itself anyway. Also, it lists the victims of the Beltway snipers separately, giving the impression that each murder was a new and separate incident.
Otherwise, it is an excellent resource for us. Here's one incident from the list which I never knew had happened, from August of 2003 in Houston, Texas:
"After undergoing a religious revival, a Saudi college student slashes the throat of a Jewish student with a 4" butterfly knife, nearly decapitating the young man."

Wishbone,
See what they are doing to our great societies! They are like a rat turd on the wedding cake, banish them now. Who are you protecting Joe establishment? Our most valued and least able to defend themselves citizens, or the bloodthirsty animals you have allowed into our midst? This is America you filthy liberals, we want our women and children to go to work, volunteer, stay home or attend school in relative safety.

We all knew they would drag out the old "but he's mentally ill" B.S. He's not crazy, he's just full of hatred. The qur'an tells muslims to kill, and rape and terrorize, he was just being a devoted muslim.
Qur’an:9:5 “Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.”
Qur’an:9:29 “Fight those who do not believe until they all surrender, paying the protective tax in submission.”
Ishaq:587 “Our onslaught will not be a weak faltering affair. We shall fight as long as we live. We will fight until you turn to Islam, humbly seeking refuge. We will fight not caring whom we meet. We will fight whether we destroy ancient holdings or newly gotten gains. We have mutilated every opponent. We have driven them violently before us at the command of Allah and Islam. We will fight until our religion is established. And we will plunder them, for they must suffer disgrace.”
Qur’an:9:123 “Fight the unbelievers around you, and let them find harshness in you.”

Battle_of_Tours,
I don't think the media in the ME is forced to lie. They are taught this stuff from the time they are born. The little girls spewing hate in the movie linked below is disturbing. The movie also has the "infidel speak" juxtaposed to the "ME masses speak" by the same cleric in case we are confused about the concept of kitman and taquiyya in the islamic world. How can we defeat 1 billion people actively participating in this worldwide??

The Japanese were told the US would commit all sorts of atrocities against them and committed suicide rather than be caught during WWII, but the Japanese propaganda has nothing on the stuff muslims are spoon-fed since birth.
Don't forget how proud the Saudi's are that they 'cleaned-up' their textbooks post 9/11 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/05/19/AR2006051901769.html
and they export this crap to tens of thousands of muslim children. Islam is a closed loop of hate and victimology. Their entire culture is centered around lying to and about the world's people, history and God himself.

From the Puff Piece:
Haq often talked about guns, politics and his dislike of President Bush, Richey said. Haq told Richey he owned a .45-caliber handgun, which he kept locked in a safe-deposit box.
A friend of Haq's in Everett, who spoke on condition he not be named, said Friday night that Haq was on medication for bipolar disorder and was frustrated by his inability to find a job or a girlfriend. Haq displayed a streak of anti-Semitism, sometimes making offhand comments about Jews.
Qur'an 59:14 “The Jews are devoid of sense. There is a grievous punishment awaiting them. Satan tells them not to believe so they will end up in Hell.”
Ishaq:240 “I concealed the matter from the Jews and then went to the Apostle and said, ‘The Jews are a nation of liars and I want you to give me a house and hide me from them. If they learn I’ve become a Muslim, they’ll utter slanderous lies against me.’ So the prophet gave me a house, and when the Jews came, I emerged and said, ‘O Jews, fear Allah and accept what He has sent you. For you know that he is the Apostle of Allah. You will find him described in your Torah and even named.’ They accused me of lying and reviled me. I told Muhammad, ‘The Jews are a treacherous, lying, and evil people.’”
Tabari VIII:39 “After the affair of the Qurayza ended, the wound of Sa’d broke open. He prayed saying, ‘O Allah, You know that there are no men whom I would rather fight and kill than men who called Your Messenger a liar.’”
And the famous quote:
Bukhari:V4B52N176 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘You Muslims will fight the Jews till some of them hide behind stones. The stones will betray them saying, “O Abdullah (slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.”’”

"A friend of Haq's in Everett, who spoke on condition he not be named, said Friday night that Haq was on medication for bipolar disorder and was frustrated by his inability to find a job or a girlfriend."

Comment from a reposting much further above:
"And when an Infidel experiences mental desarroi or depression, he can blame his parents, his children, his siblings, his karma, The System, Amerika, the stars, fate, his cholesterol level, his serotonin level, or even --- himself. When a Muslim falls into any kind of distress, with that mental vademecum and pocket prism through which to view the universe, Islam, he can blame the Infidel."

And yet another excerpt from a posting last year on the same theme, that Believers and Infidels alike may suffer personal and professional setbacks or losses, but Infidels have a thousand things to blame, and Believers are ready to blame only -- the Infidels.
Here's that excerpt:
"When one is in mental disarray, and happens to be a Muslim, provided with a Total Explanation of the Universe, and a Complete Regulation of existence, one can quite easily come to view the universe through the prism of islam.
And it need be nothing political -- nothing in the newspapers -- that sets one off. A death in the family, the loss of a job, the failure to get into a certain school, the perception that others do not share one's worldview and see no reason to accommodate themselves, and of course the depression that can come upon so many of us, Muslim and non-Muslim, at any time -- are all cause for alarm. But non-Muslims provide their own answers, their own home remedies, as they can, and those answers, and their affixing of blame for their problems, can be as various as their parents, their spouses, their children, their siblings, their employer, The System, the stars, Fate, their cholesterol level, their serotonin level, even -- at times -- themselves. Muslims have only to look to the one thing that always presents itself to be blamed: the Infidels. Their wiles, their whisperings of Shaytan, their decadence, their indifference, their whateveritis of which Infidels are guilty. And once a non-Muslim Muslim, a "Muslim-for-identification-purposes-only" Muslim, begins to redsicover Islam, to return to Islam, he can turn into that other thing -- a Muslim Muslim. And that is the problem, the permanent problem for Infidels, who have done nothing to deserve this ever-ready, this omnipresent blame.
There is no solution. Reducing Muslim numbers, and Muslim power, and ensuring that the Infidel lands do not engage in some kind of attempt to win Muslims by changing their own laws and customs, but remain implacably themselves, or perhaps deliberately Islam-hostile rather than Islam-friendly, so that those who now claim that they are "thinking of leaving" really do leave -- would anyone wish to stop them -- should be the goal of Infidels, engaged only in defending themselves against the carriers of Jihad, all over the world."

"Peace be upon you."
Peace here means submission
to the primitive moon god allah,
who hates and despises the non-believers;
peace means following the pattern of mohammed,
the most perfect of men and the last prophet,
and obeying allah's law, the sharia.
He is a good muslim,
who chose his target
carefully and planned his jihad
for the glory of his moon god.

Hugh,
just a small correction: what Karl Kraus said was: "Psychoanalysis [not psychiatry] is the disease for which it is supposed to be the cure" which was of course directed against Freud. Even if one doesn't believe in psychoanalysis (I don't) it can be very revealing to examine the psychopathology of Islam in Freudian terms.

This same crap has been going on in Canada for awhile now , in fact , after a Muslim in Monteal murdered 14 female students and then shot himself to be with Alah , it took 10 years before anyone dared pointing out that Gamil Gharbi was on a Jihad mission to punish canada for letting female get educated.
Even after the recent arrests of 17 muslims trying to buy 6600lbs of amonium nitrate for building truck-bombs to muder thousands of civilians in Toronto , Muslims are stuck in the denial stage and the media fears being another Theo van Gogh if the truth set-offs one of those closet Jihadists.
CAIR-Canada is at the heart of bogus Islamophobia claims with unproven "hate-crimes"
that are really minor vandalism to Mosques and have yet to see any arrests to prove a non-Muslim did it, when CAIR reported a Montreal jewish school that was fire-bombed by Immigrants from the Middle east who also left a note show antisemitism they posted it as "vandalism" yet a couple of raw eggs hit a building in Hamilton that was used as a Mosque and CAIR posted THAT as a "hate-Crime".
CAIR doesn't stop at just bogus hate-crime , they hijack other crimes and play the victim by-proxy , a Sikh temple in Hamilton was being renovated and a fire at night gutted it , so what did CAIR do, they run to the media a say it was done by Islamophobes that were too ignorant to know it wasn't a Sikh Temple.
Hamilton had lots of Tradesmen and people showed up to rebuilt it for free since the Insurance lapsed while the reno's went on, CAIR said nothing about the generosity of the locals
that helped out, mainly CAIR stuck to the "Backlash" claim and insisted Muslims were the target.

Tsuga-
Try not to froth at the mouth mate. Someone may mistake you for a mad mullah and "pacify" you.
There have been at least two "racial" (ahem) attacks involving "gangs of white youths", perpetrated on "asians" this week alone. One dead, two critically injured. This is in the North West UK where, outside of London, some of the biggest "asian" communities are settled.
In parts of Oldham, there are even signs on some streets proclaiming "No Whites". It isn't safe at all to venture into these areas if you're not an "asian".
I wonder how long it's going to take the authorities to stop blaming mindless hatred as the primer. I don't condone "random" violence, yet it's hardly surprising when you have young Britons that see the imported minorities receiving vastly more support for their futures than those whose Grandparents fought and died in wars to keep this country British.
The natives are definitely getting restless.

Militant Buddhist, greatcometof1577, Alert
Count me in. I have actually recieved threats here in NYC over simple letters to the editor in local papers, not death threats, just the usual you are going to be hurt nonsense. Unfortunetly getting a carrying permit here for law abiding people is almost impossible. I know anonymous threats usually are nothing to worry about but with the peaceful mohamadeans I guess I should be prepared. Actually one muslim in answering one of my letters reminded me that I have 600,000 muslim neighbors who will not be happy with me. If all the threats were this mild I wouldn't even be concerned. He also invoked Mr. Spencer's name claiming I should not get my info from this notorious islamophobe but should read real scholars loike Esposito and Armstrong. Anyway, after reading about the Seattle shooting, Home Depot crash in Arizona, shooting in Gavelston, not like there are not thousands of other examples, my question is does anyone know of any good pistol ranges in NYC for beginners when and where do we start this group that does not have any concern for PC nonsense..

You're lucky mate, in that at least your local paper has got the balls to accept and print your opinions. The media in the UK won't even accept any intelligently presented opinion that doesn't toe the party line, let alone allow it into print, ie: Don't upset the Muslims.

Who cares about CAIR? It's the millions of our own naive Western idiots that are the problem. CAIR's disinformation would have little or no impact without their sociopolitical dominance.

And here we have more hijinks from the New York Times:
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/30/us/30seattle.html
Notice that nowhere does the NYT bother to mention that this gunman is a Pakistani. Had the fellow been a Hindu from India, the NYT would have been crowing about it nonstop. But because the NYT is an ethnically partisan tabloid, they'll always cover up for ethnic groups they favor such as Pakistanis, while skewering the ethnic groups they hate, like Indians, Jews, WASPs. Ethnic partisanship in the guise of liberalism is not liberalism at all. The NYT is such a sinister bastion of crookedness.

Sanman,
Stop seeking validation from “Who You Know Is The Enemy” wake up! Ignore the media! If you have even the least modern TV use the channel delete option! If you subscribe to any newspaper, cancel, and tell them why. Ask for a Supervisor and don’t stop until you are appeased. Fight back with your dollar people! It is the most important single thing in the world (besides gold, followed by nucweps) if it collapses the world leaders know what will happen.
Do this now before it is too late.

I have absolutely no problem with the BBC's description of this incident. My problem is with the discription of the incident had the victims been white and the perpetrators Asian. No doubt, here is how it would read:
"Two men are seriously ill in hospital after they were assaulted by a gang of youths in what police say was "gang-related" violence...."

Have a little sympathy for the Local Papers in Britain. Two years ago our evening paper printed a perfectly true story of Muslim misconduct. After complaints from "Muslim Community Leaders" they got a visit from the Race Relations Board which left their management in shock. They were told "We can organise a boycott of your paper by the Asian shopkeepers. We can shut your paper down and if you ever print a story like that again - we will".
