Funny how there have been no such attacks from Serbs, despite the fact that the US bombed Serbia in 1999.

Well, if this murdering punk was a muslim then there is only one thing that the US government can do!

File charges against the officer who killed this murderer for an egregious hate-crime.

After all, crime pays only if you are islamic and play the jihad card.

By the time CAIR twists and perverts this one, the families of the victims might end up paying reparations to the punk's mother.

World Net Daily is reporting that this punk was a Muslim.

http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=54247

Talovic had a backpack full of ammunition, a shotgun and a .38-caliber pistol, police said.

This bastard has been sent to his idol, Allah. Sadly, he took 5 innocent lives before he was shot full of holes, preventing him from copping an insanity plea in our courts.

I agree witness. His rights were violated. How dare that kuffar stand in the way of maximum jihad. I think CAIR should file a complaint immediately for blatant discrimination against a jihadist and his rights. How dare the infidels stop him.

"Nothing to indicate terrorism."

"Isolated incident."

"Nothing to fear, shop as usual."

All the usual jihadi cover up lines from the usual jihadi enablers who by some strange coincidence also always vigorously remind that "hate crime" and "civil rights" laws will be prosecuted to the fullest.

The terrorists couldn't have it any better.

It is extremely insulting to the average Joe and Mary to have the Muslim id of these killers downplayed, as if we are all a bunch of potential vigilantes. Meanwhile, Muslim vigilantes kill 5 in Seattle, attempt to kill students at USC, pull stunts on planes, etc. People are becoming fed-up with the PC in this. We are all in grave danger because too many Muslims want to deny rather than deal with the violence and the deception that is clearly permitted in this "religion".

I recall that the initial cable news reports about this seemed to emphasize that (paraphrasing) "he just looked like a normal guy" or something to that effect, but the implication was that he didn't look "Middle eastern" and so it probably has nothing to do with terrorism.

But as we all know here, ISLAM IS NOT A RACE - IT'S AN IDEOLOGY.

Does this have anything to do with Islam? We don't know yet. But at the very least this case ought to throw a bucket of cold water on those who keep confusing ideology with race and intentionally trying to hide behind cries of "racism" as a cheap means of discrediting people who keep trying to point out that in fact, this has NOTHING to do with race but rather has EVERYTHING to do with ideology!

And even if it turns out that this guy knows nothing about Islam but was merely angry at his boss at the US postal service, that lesson would still stand.

Let me see if I have this straight based on several of these events that have occurred now:

If a Muslim murders a kuffar it's mental instability. But if a kuffar murders a Muslim it would be a hate crime, intolerance, supremacism, religious bigotry, and such etc.

Don't forget that the Feebees broke up a plot in Chicago prior to Christmas involving an attack on shopping malls.

but I guess we can't go about profiling folks

Posted by: pak152 at February 13, 2007 9:13 PM

Killed five and wounded four. When, not if, the big incident results in 50,000 dead and 40,000 wounded, do ya think they'll keep the religious affiliation under wraps?

If this guy was a member of some anti-abortion Christian fundmentalist group, you can bet your arse they would broadcast the little killer's religion. It would be a part of the damn headline.

_________________________________________________

For those of you who live in states where it is legal to carry a concealed firearm, and when you see the "firearms prohibited" sign on the shopping mall entrance, simply go to the mall office and state very politely and forcefully that you are a legal firearm owner and you will never shop at that mall unless you can bring you weapon. While you are at it, show the manager the headline in your local paper.

What's next, metal detectors at the front door? More costs at the retail level.

P.S. I made that sound as if he actually HAS a boss at the US postal service. I have no idea but most probably not. I just meant "going postal" as a stereotypical example of the sort of thing we think of as causing someone to go "berserk" for no apparent reason. No doubt, "going postal" will be replaced statistically in the future with "going Islam" (i.e. "sudden jihad syndrome").

Posted by: Caroline at February 13, 2007 9:15 PM

Here are some interesting details gleaned from a variety of blogs . . .

The killer is identified as Solejman Talovic, a Bosnian refugee who lived in Salt Lake City.

*******

"Sulejman" is a Muslim name, taken from the Muslim conqueror of the Balkans, Suleiman the Magnificent.

*******

"He [Sulejman Talovic]is a legal permanent resident of the United States," said ICE spokeswoman Virginia Kice. Although his nationality is listed on immigration documents as Croatian, one of Talovic's relatives said they are Bosnian.

*******

Their ability to be offended
knows no bounds, does it?Muslims are saying how offended they are by Valentine's Day.. and 5 of his victims are in a card store buying valentines.. open and shut case to me.Celebrating Valentine's Day is immoral? I guess they don't know that St. Valentine was martyred for marrying people, huh?

David Dean, who owns a greeting-card store at the mall, said three or four people died inside his store, which was packed with Valentine's Day shoppers.
WorldNetDaily: Utah gunman, 18, was Bosnian Muslim refugee

*******

Less than four miles from Trolley Park mall to a whole bunch of Islamic Centers/mosques...

*******

Muslims are already asking for gun control in the US.

*******

One of the murderer’s relatives mentioned in some news reports is an aunt named Ajka Omerovic.A Bosnian with the name of Omerovic made the news a couple of years ago.

From the Associated Press:

Anthrax hoaxer gets 10-month sentence

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Monday, July 29, 2002 11:51PM EDT

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) - A man who mailed letters threatening to use anthrax against government agencies was sentenced Monday to 10 months in prison.

Amir Omerovic, 28, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Bosnia, had faced up to five years in prison after pleading guilty in U.S. District Court in February.

After serving his term, Omerovic will be confined to his home for six months and placed on supervision that will include mental health treatment, Judge Alan Nevas ordered.

Federal prosecutors said Omerovic mailed letters in October to Gov. John Rowland, the Coast Guard, Marine Corps and other public agencies in Connecticut. The letters referred to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

“This is only the beginning,” the letters said. “Americans will die. Death to America and Israel.”

The letters did not contain anthrax or any other substance.

Federal officials said there was no evidence that Omerovic had access to anthrax.

*******

Bosnians

When in 1990 the name Bosniaks was re-introduced to replace the term Muslim it was too late for that term to be realistically accepted by non-Muslim Bosnians, as they were already naturalized into Serb and Croat nations and further radicalized by the ethnic animosities among all three ethnic groups…

The Salt Lake City jihadi

Hideous deeds. And violence reigns,
a haughty king, a bringer of pain
and sorrow is suyleman the jihadi,
who murdered everybody he could
before he was taken down by a brave man,
a jihadi who was inspired by allah's words
and the deeds of mohammed,the perfect man.
This is islam.
These crimes are sanctified
by islam, glorified by islam.

Our Tears for the Free in Salt Lake City

Let our tears stream for the Free,
the scalding tears of jihad,
let our fears scream for the Free,
the burning tears of jihad.
Then, relieved of our sorrows,
we look to tomorrow
and vow to stand bravely,
with great courage,
with all others
who think as we do,
we the Free.

When Innocents Are Murdered

When Innocents are murdered
can our innocence ever be regained?
No, it is the price we pay, like loss and gain,
pleasure and pain, like birth and death,
in order to understand the nature of evil
and its demons when we walk a spiritual path.
May these deaths never be in vain.

IF IT LOOKS LIKE JIHAD, SMELLS LIKE JIHAD, AND ACTS LIKE JIHAD, IT'S PROBABLY JIHAD

This Bosnian infiltrator is named after Suleiman the Magnificent, the longest reigning Ottoman emporer who just so happens to be the Muslim dictator who conquered Christian Serbia and razed Belgrade to the ground. Nice namesake....

Given that alone, I will assume he was a Muslim terrorist religiously motivated to kill as many Christian Americans as he possibly could before flying off to have celestial sex with the black eyed virgins in the Muslim paradise he foolishly believed in. I hope they can prove me wrong and that Jihad had nothing to do with these murders...(not likely)

Posted by: wallyUK at February 13, 2007 9:30 PM

One can gain a great deal of psychological profiling on Sulejmen Talovic by key factors described.

It is a probable estimate this Muslim was not completely driven by the suicide bomber code of Islamic hate. If you follow he had a trench coat, his choice of weaponry was a shotgun backed by a 38 revolver and a backpack full of ammunition shows more of a Terminator mentality than Islam.
The trench coat stands out as almost an online violent game player of this trend which motivated him.

Obviously, his not having any father figure and with only his mother being an immigrant he role played from his violent Bosnian background with an American flair. His mission was not suicide, but anger in a fight to vent his personal pain.
While the complete motive of operation in the mall is not available, it is certain he had eye contact with at least young attractive young female who he "judged not killable" in allowing her to live. That denotes a thought process of more European and American in allowing a non lethal attractive woman to live.

In understanding this hybrid of European Islam, you see a different method of attack in it being more video game movie working through a maze like a mall and deciding in power who lives and who dies. In the middle east for example it is kill as many docile to inflict the greatest terror.

Unless further evidence evolves, preliminary data concludes this was a lone action of a cut off and angry male seeking to make his peer society community pay. He had no trouble with females mocking him in school, but he had problems fitting in and decided to attack.
It is likely this male also turned to drugs of some sort mixed with his violent "play" to enhance the thrill and alter perceptions causing him to live out the fantasy he was feeding off of.

It may be Islam at the core but it might also be Mormon exclusivity which was the catalyst he was striking back fueled by the euphoria of violent video games.

Posted by: Lame Cherry at February 13, 2007 9:32 PM

Since ANYONE IN AMERICA CAN OWN A GUN, expect more muslims to use guns as their preferred method of attack.

Why do you need to go to the expense of buying bomb making materials when you can just buy a gun at your local Wal-Mart?

Posted by: Voltaire at February 13, 2007 9:34 PM

Let me think like a Muslim and profile Sulejmen, the real victim. Sulejmen, a quiet teenager and ordinary guy who lived with his mother in a single family home, had trouble in school with the other kids, experienced their Islamaphobia, tried to raise money in order to accompany John Walker Lindh to Yemen to study the Koran, failed to raise the money because he couldn't get a job because he was Muslim, was devastated that his girlfriend left him after he asked her to wear a burqa, tried to get back with her by ordering a Vermont Teddy Bear and was refused because he had a Muslim accent, and finally, having been completely rejected by everyone, went to the Mall to do the only thing he could think of to further the cause in Kosovo. He was going to make a martyrs tape, but failed at that too because the guy at Best Buy wouldn't sell him a video camera because he was a Muslim........

Posted by: maryrose at February 13, 2007 9:39 PM

And here we see yet again (for perhaps ONLY the 97-millionth time!) that Islam TEACHES FIRST DEGREE MURDER!!

It really isn't necessary to call this "jihad"anymore. THIS IS MURDER and it is ISLAMIC. Non-Muslims have a tight to scream "racism" too--as we are being targeted for first-degree murder on account of who we are).

Everyone spread the word: "ISLAM TEACHES FIRST DEGREE MURDER!"

And keep speading those words!!

And may Yahweh deliver our world from the madness and horror that is Islam!

I am a mother of 6 and in my home town of Nyssa Oregon they were forcing our children to learn Islam this year. Making them memorize the 5 pillars. Having them dress as a Muslim and act out those 5 pillars. What is wrong with this country. Will they ever call a duck a duck. They are dummying us down so we won't fight back. This is a terrorist attack. Just like 9-11 are they going to pay these victims families all kinds of money. Oh yah that's right there hasn't been a terrorist attack on Us soil since 911. Wake up America IT IS HERE. It is Spring in Iran and I hope it is Spring in the whole world soon!

Posted by: MadMom at February 13, 2007 9:45 PM

According to a story in World Net Daily, the shooter was a MUSLIM. What a surprise! I'm sure we won't see his religious affiliation mentioned anywhere else, he'll just be described as a "troubled or mentally disturbed" teenager.

A teenager can't go to WalMart and buy a gun, so where did he get the guns and ammunition? Banning gun ownership in the U.S. would not stop muslims and criminals from getting and using guns.

Posted by: Susanp at February 13, 2007 9:46 PM

Voltaire: "Since ANYONE IN AMERICA CAN OWN A GUN, expect more muslims to use guns as their preferred method of attack."

Of course it appears to have been an off-duty policeman carrying a gun who took him down. Not to get into a lengthy debate about gun control and whether only criminals can get guns, the fact is that an average person carrying a gun was the one who took him down and prevented even more loss of life. We see alot of stats about the number of lives lost due to people being able to carry guns but I'm not aware of similar stats showing the number of lives saved precisely because people WERE carrying guns. The problem is that folks carrying guns contribute to a negative statistic (i.e. lives NOT lost), which can never be proved statistically.

Posted by: Caroline at February 13, 2007 9:50 PM

Don't be disheartened that the MSM isn't reporting this as yet another instance of Sudden Jihad Attack. Many people, even those that don't frequent JW, will figure it out. And, the longer the MSM and our leaders ignore the simple truth behind these kinds of killings, the bigger the backlash will be. The politically correct lies are wearing very thin with a lot of people.

Why not tell all? Why not trumpet from the housetops. When will the "duh" public wake up? When a Jhadi kills a hundred or so in a crowded mall?

Not too long after 9/11,(about 2 months) three Islamic young men rented a house from some friends of ours. They paid a lot of money in advance and our friends were immediatly suspicious and called the F.B.I. Unknown to me, I saw these three guys in a crowded restaurant and eventually called our local police. They were speaking Arabic, very suspicious activity, Long black trench coats, looked like they were "caseing" the place, and to my surprise, nobody was paying any attention to them. Shortly after that they were picked up at the house by the F.B.I. Nothing in any media was ever released nor did I ever get a call back nor did my friends.

From the book 'When Freemen shall Stand'
“There is an Americans phrase that seems appropriate for this action. ‘Paybacks are a bitch.’ And you wish to give this man who has tricked you twice a payback, no!”
“I will send his family to hell first, and they can wait for him there,” Jiu Chen almost hissed. He realized that he was showing his anger and quickly regained his composure as he added, “You have fourteen days. Your attack is to be coordinated with ours, that way he receives twice the bad news at one time.”
With a wicked smile Kalida chuckled, “I see, you wish to crush his spirit and his ability to continue the fight. Might I suggest, for one of my people to be in their camp that day walking around planting small bombs that go off say thirty minuets before your attack. If they were placed in the right places, like at a fuel supply point or on even on a propane tank at one of their forward kitchens and causing as much confusion as possible, that way your men would catch them, ‘with their pants down.’ These Americans have such crud sayings, but they do convey the situation they will be in.”
“How will your man be able to walk around their camp with out being detected?”
With a sly smile Kalida answered, “Not all of my people are son’s of the desert. We have some that have blue eyes and blond hair, these are the soldiers of Allah who are not expected.”

Three Chapters later'
Kalida walks silently through the burnt out shell of the cathedral carefully stepping around a fallen column of rock and twisted steel that once helped support the roof. The fire must have been hot, very hot, as there are no bodies’ left and very little bone, what was left was mostly teeth, thousands and thousands of teeth, good.
As he raised his voice in a half shout, “Oh Allah just as Abraham offered burnt offerings to you the lord of all, I Kalida offer burnt offerings too.” Then in a regular voice he said, “I will continue to offer burnt offerings until there are no ungodly Americans left, and only your true believers are all that remain.”

This just might happen here?

Why do you need to go to the expense of buying bomb making materials when you can just buy a gun at your local Wal-Mart? "

Which infers that Voltaire, like a good little socialist, wants to disarm the USA public for their own good (wonderful, follow in the footsteps of Stalin and Hitler Voltaire). If my assumption about you, based on your comment above is right, then frankly Voltaire, YOU ARE AN IDIOT!

For those who don't think so, come over to Australia where we have "gun laws" that "stop" the criminals from shooting people. Want to see how effective our Australian gun laws are? Just tune into our news and listen for the latest shooting that has occured around South West Sydney (a Muslim stronghold). Or for that matter, walk into any outlaw Bikie gangs (who the coppers stay away from) and call them a bunch of wankers and dare them to SHOOT YOU! Trust me Voltaire, you will be safe, 'cause WE HAVE GUN LAWS! /sarcasim off. Or better yet, just persue the pages of DW when Spencer reported the aftermath of the Cronulla "riots"; whereby Muslims ran around with banned semi auto's shooting at infidels (hardly reported by our media of course).

Australia, the Jewel in Pacific, full of mineral wealth (including the worlds largest supply of uranium) is totally and uterly disarmed. No guns, no nukes, and an increasingly left learning USA. Something the Japanese in the 1940's only dreamed about, and something the Muslims to our north celebrate.

Voltaire, your comments are typical of the left. Use the crisis that the left created via uncontrolled immigration (read MUSLIMS) and use it to further and justify your own polictical agenda....for our "own good" that is..."yes mum!"

According to the Islamic Outreach site http://www.astrolabe.com/product/617/Islamic_Information_for_Middle_School_&_High_School_Package.html Public schools are required to teach about Islam

How did such a textbook get written and approved?

How did such a textbook get written and approved? It was launched in accord with California policy in 1991, which wanted such a book to advance the state’s multi-culturalist, inclusive agenda. In 1990 a new man was named its Chairman and Chief Executive Office at this textbook’s publisher Houghton Mifflin, and in 1991 he was also given the title President at the company. He was Nader F. Darehshori, who before coming to the United States in “the early 1960s,” as his short biography tells, was for a year a teacher “in a one-room elementary school in his native Iran.” Iran, of course, is an overwhelmingly-Islamic country. The textbook was published with approval by the Council on Islamic Education (CIE), formed in 1988 to promote a better treatment of the subject of Islam in such texts. This 558-page history textbook, "http://www.nationalreview.com/dreher/dreherprint021202.html" notes Rod Dreher in National Review, includes 55 pages about Islam, all of them positive. By contrast, the entire Middle Ages in Europe get only seven pages, and Christianity is discussed therein “not in terms of moral and theological belief, but almost entirely as a matter of power relations and social organization.” The whole eastern half of the Roman Empire known as the Byzantine Empire that survived until 1453 (when Muslim Ottoman Turks toppled Constantinople) gets only six pages. A chapter about “Village Society in West Africa,” notes Dreher, rates eight pages. But praiseful writing about Islam takes up 10 percent of this entire history book written for American students to study in their American Madrassas. But does it matter when a http://www.pacificjustice.org/resources/articles/focus.cfm?ID=ART434511306" handout supplement to the pro-Muslim Across the Centuries textbook hypnotically tells students that, as an exercise, “You and your classmates will become Muslims”? Or when students are required to memorize a prayer that includes the line “Praise be to Allah, Lord of Creation”

Voltaire: "Since ANYONE IN AMERICA CAN OWN A GUN, expect more muslims to use guns as their preferred method of attack."

That is why we will not go out like Europe. We Americans can own guns. We can shoot back. Ask the British.....

Infact I would prefer we get this out in the open sooner rather then waiting until our stupid government lets more in.

I hope we can solve this by peaceful means but there is a reason why we have the 2nd and it is not just for hunting deer.

Not too long after 9/11,(about 2 months) three Islamic young men rented a house from some friends of ours. They paid a lot of money in advance and our friends were immediatly suspicious and called the F.B.I. Unknown to me, I saw these three guys in a crowded restaurant and eventually called our local police. They were speaking Arabic, very suspicious activity, Long black trench coats, looked like they were "caseing" the place, and to my surprise, nobody was paying any attention to them. Shortly after that they were picked up at the house by the F.B.I. Nothing in any media was ever released nor did I ever get a call back nor did my friends.

Yep, that's right Susan. Only the criminals will have guns then because law abiding citizens would dutifuly turn theirs in.

This is an opinion from Ask Imam about non-Muslim celebrations.

http://www.islam.tc/ask-imam/view.php?q=8349

The sales of Halaal items during valentine, Easter, etc. with symbols of that occasion should not be viewed independently. It is not just a matter of the item itself being Halaal or not.

The underlying ideology of that occasion which is being promoted through the sales of sweets, candys, etc. should be considered. That is evident from the wrappings of such items which have symbols of that occasion. It is clear that the occasion of Valentines, Easter, Christmas, Halloween, etc. have no basis in Islam. To purchase items having symbols of such occasions will be assisting in promoting ideologies that are not acceptable in Shari’ah. and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best Mufti Ebrahim Desai

Here's another opinion:

http://www.islam.tc/ask-imam/view.php?q=4964

Valentine’s day has its roots in the Christian religion. It was established to mourn the death of a Roman priest, St. Valentine of the third Century AD. (Sunday Tribune 6/2/2000)

Since Valentine’s day was initially associated with Christianity, the expression of love in the form of exchanging Valentine’s gifts on that day will not be permissible. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, ‘Whosoever imitates a nation, is amongst them.’ (Abu Dawud pg.559; HM Sa’eed)

Posted by: Pelayo at February 13, 2007 10:26 PM

Why not see if the murderer hated Valentine's Day, the mall was full of people getting valentine gifts and cards,we know that Valentine;s day is hated by many Muslims and is banned in a number of countries if so perhaps this is a hate crime against Western culture. Will it be seen as a hate crime?????????????????

Posted by: mark52 at February 13, 2007 10:27 PM

Alright, now they're KILLING OUR FAMILIES in PUBLIC PLACES IN THE USA......which leads to the obvious question, "WHEN ARE WE GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS???" If this isn't another wake up call, a significant wake up call, then WE WILL BE DEFEATED. If this does not tell us that EACH AND EVERY QURAN-BELIEVING MUSLIM is a potential THREAT to each and every American FAMILY, then we are BLIND and deserve the anhilation that the muslim desires to afflict us with.

It does not matter if this was not a coordinated attack by a sovereign state or a terrorist organization, you see, because ISLAM ITSELF IS A STATE OF TERRORISM!!! If you doubt this, READ SURAH 5 or SURAH 9 in the quran, the false prophecy, the book of lies! And until THIS IS OUTLAWED and Islam is banned and muslims deported, well, then we are going to have this type of activity increasing on a more frequent basis.

A country that is not willing to hand out consequences to the origin of a threat will soon be only a memory in the annals of history. We MUST GET TOUGH and we must do it NOW. Forget the political correctness. I am not willing to sacrifice my children on the altar of hillary, obama, cair or a single lie-believing-muslim monster.

It is time to get these people OUT of our country, behind bars, or have them become victims of the war THEY HAVE STARTED. Remember, this war is against our CHILDREN. Do you want to explain to his or her coffin why you did nothing to protect them against adherents of islam, a wicked philosophy of hate and death???? THE TIME IS NOW. A message needs to be sent, a decisive and powerful message, that will show that we WILL CONFRONT EVIL (even though the imam-loving democrats don't even RECOGNIZE evil!!)There HAS to be repurcussions and they have to be painful. There is no other way. Diplomacy has not, can not and will not work, for these monsters do not respect anything except power. It needs to be exercised severely and immediately. That is the only language that the muslim understands.

If we need to subjugate, well, so be it. These people do not deserve a place of responsibility in society. A muslim "Does Not Play Well With Others". So isolate or subjugate. But GET THEM OUT OF THIS COUNTRY. If we have learned anything, it is this: YOU CANNOT TRUST A muslim. Therefore, they do not deserve place or privilege in this country. (WHY can't the democrats understand this??)

The constitution gives rights, but depends on a moral people. islam is hardly moral...it is the epitome of amoral...completley upside down from the world view that this country was founded upon. Islam is hate and death and pure evil. It is time to recognize that and confront it. The fact that it was not my family in Utah that has been affected by this does not make it any less relevant to ALL OF US. IT IS TIME TO RESPOND. FIERCELY. FOR THE FALLEN IN UTAH!

No, it won't work . . .I was just pointing it out to raise awareness to effectively stop that nonsense in it's tracks. When muslim terrorists decide to begin their rampant jihad it would behoove them to have the American public, their prospective targets, disarmed. Only fools wouldn't want anything to happen to the terrorists.

Posted by: biorabbi at February 13, 2007 10:40 PM

Noticed some whining about guns. The reality is that gun laws taking firearms away from the law abiding are going to be welcomed by criminals and terrorists. We need to understand we are at war, and in this case, the enemy is on our soil, and will attack civilians. Quite a few states allow concealed carry weapons, this may end up becoming more common.

Nazi Germany had gun laws, our 2nd amendment is in place for a reason: to prevent tyranny. We need to keep the gun violence we see in perspective. I consider it foolish to disarm the American public. Do I need to mention what happened in Germany around 60 odd years ago?

Also guns aren't the point here. This murderer could have done more damage, using other methods.

The point of the blog, is discussion, as to whether this was a jihad attack. I tend to think it was, and wonder mostly if it was part of a larger overall plan.

Posted by: dan at February 13, 2007 10:44 PM

From the ISPU link:
Today, only a handful of citizens outside of neo-nazi and white supremacist goups view gun ownership as a means of keeping the government in check. Even those citizens who continue to maintain such antiquated views must face the reality that the United States’ armed forces are too large and too powerful for the citizenry to make much difference. Quite frankly, the idea of the citizenry rising up against the U.S. government with their handguns and assault rifles, and facing the military with these personal arms is absurd. The Branch Davidian tragedy at Waco, Texas, was one such futile attempt.

Ridicule, to make all think that patriots are the fringe.

If that day does come I will be six feet under. No way in hell am I giving up any more power to stupid government. Republican or Democrats in power it does not matter. They have both proven to be fools.

Dam we need a new political party and soon to get to the point. No Sharia! Never! People need to start by protesting every Mosque in this country. Demand that they renounce Jihad and Sharia and if not give them hell and anyone associated with them hell until they surrender or leave. Make life a bitch and expose all those dhimmis and make their lives a pain. Protest outside their houses. Burn the Saudi Flag! Burn the dam Koran! Its not my holy book! IF we don't have laws that protect the American flag then no laws protecting the Koran. Be peaceful but be agressive and get on TV. IT appears people don't want reason so lets do what the left always does.....make life hell. It starts by forming local clubs....

A name like the: The Anti-Sharia Thinkers Society!(a take off the New York Islamic Thinkers Society). Each local group can then go after the locals who are causing problems. Protest their meetings. Protest their mosques. The only way to fight CAIR and groups like it is to fight fire with fire. They like to protest Anti-Jihad people like Robert Spencer, Pipes, and many more......we can do the same. They like to call them racist and we can hurl the same back at them. God knows we have enough world examples to choose from.

We have to let the elite know the we average folk are not happy and the only way is to organize!

Enough sitting on our asses and talking. Its time our needs and concerns get resolved. I have no idea how we can accomplish this but if someone does (who is higher up then Ion the food chain of life)....I will follow to the end. Its time to save this country! We must make our feeling known and make our message known.

It is time to step it up to level two: Protesting in the street and forming a coalition that if possible can be organized into a new political party if our current parties take no heed of the protests.

Level One: Reason and Books and hope the elites read them

Level Two: Protesting and forming grassroot efforts to get the message to the political parties

Level Three: Form a political party and win elected government.

Level Four: Open Civil War

We are at level two. Its time we get angry! Lets hope we can stop it before level 4. We heading there down hill right now becuase nobody is getting to heart of the matter. Islam must be reformed and renounce Jihad and Sharia OR get out!

It's time we have each others' backs.

Posted by: scrualla at February 13, 2007 10:54 PM

Look, Guys and Girls, I've said this before but I'll say it again. It is NOT illegal for a British person to own a firearm and I, myself, own quite a number of different weapons.

We have a licencing system which allows us to hold firearms quite legally.

This system has several purposes -
(1)
To help the police to rule out (or, regrettably, in certain cases to rule in) any given weapon which they know about under the licencing system when a firearm related crime is committed.
(2)
To prevent firearms from falling into the hands of people who have been convicted of a firearm offence or who are, for one reason or another, deemed to be not stable enough to possess a deadly weapon.
(3)
To register and legitimate valid collectors of modern, vintage and antique firearms.
(4)
To ensure that all owners of firearms keep them, and the associated ammunition, in a safe and secure place when they are not in use and keep the said firearms in a safe condition so that discharge of the said firearm will not result in accidental injury to the dischargee or unrelated third parties.

So, in the UK there is no minimum age for the issue of a shot gun certificate. A firearm certificate may not be granted to a person under 14 years of age. It is, however, an offence under section 21 of the Firearms Act of 1968, as amended, for anyone convicted of a criminal offence, to handle, possess, or shoot a firearm and ammunition (this includes Air Guns). If the sentence was for more than three years the prohibition is for life; if less than three years the prohibition is for 5 years.

The cost of Firearms and Shotgun Certificates is as follows:

(a)
Firearms Certificates (Valid for 5 years):
Grant of firearm certificate
£50.00
Renewal of firearm certificate
£50.00
Variation of a firearm certificate (other than when it is renewed at the same time) so as to increase the number of firearms to which the certificate relates.
£26.00
Replacement of a firearm certificate which has been lost or destroyed.
£ 9.00

(b)
Shot Gun Certificates (Valid for 5 years):
Grant of Shot Gun Certificate
£50.00
Renewal of Shot Gun Certificate
£50.00
Replacement of Shot Gun Certificate which has been lost or destroyed
£ 8.00
Renewal of Shot Gun Certificate which expires at the same time as a firearms certificate (co-terminus)
£10.00

(c)
Co-Terminus Certificate for both Firearms and Shotgun (Valid for 5 years):
Grant of co-terminus certificate.
£60 (this is the way to go if you want both sorts of gun, as it is much cheaper than having separate certificates expiring at different times).

(d)
Explosives Certificates (necessary for Black Powder shooting):
Acquire and keep (valid for 3 years)
Free
Acquire only (valid for 1 year)
Free.

Now, what part of all that did you people in the USA not understand?

I'll say this again, although I know that this is like trying to fight against myth, we ARE allowed to keep and use firearms - it's just that our system is different from yours.

Goodness only knows why you guys think that we can't. Could one of you explain this to us. Where, and when, did this myth start?

Dominic.

Perhaps a little quote from William Lloyd Garrison the famous abolitionist will put this in the proper light. He stated:

"I am aware that many object to the severity of my language; but is there not cause for severity? I will be as harsh as truth, and as uncompromising as justice. On this subject, I do not wish to think, or to speak, or write, with moderation. No! no! Tell a man whose house is on fire to give a moderate alarm; tell him to moderately rescue his wife from the hands of the ravisher; tell the mother to gradually extricate her babe from the fire into which it has fallen; – but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present. I am in earnest – I will not equivocate – I will not excuse – I will not retreat a single inch – AND I WILL BE HEARD. The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal, and to hasten the resurrection of the dead."

– William Lloyd Garrison, “To the Public,” from the Inaugural Editorial in the 1 January 1831 The Liberator'

In some ways Jihadwatch is the modern form of the "The Liberator". We non-muslims must be saved!!!

Just a datapoint. Went to Wal Mart last month to add some ammunition for the rifle. I’m a resident of a western/non pacific coast state currently living in the northeast. I was asked for identification to allow me to purchase rounds. Producing a driver’s license from state X, a place that the questioner did not recognize, the purchase went through (researching after the fact, she should not have made the sale).

The thing that spooked me is that, in many places, if you want to arm up, ‘they’ have already made things difficult. It will be more difficult when things become complicated. Taxes will never be lower and access to arms will never be more readily available…

Bosnian Muslim goes on a killing spree in US mall
Police have identified the victims shot at Trolley Square on Monday, as well as the man believed to be the shooter.

Killed were Jeffrey Walker, 52; Vanessa Quinn, 29; Teresa Ellis, 29; Brad Frantz, 24; and Kirsten Hinckley, 15.

Hospitalized were Allen Walker, 16, son of Jeffrey Walker; Carolyn Tuft, 44; Shawn Munns, 34; and Stacy Hansen, 53.

The 18-year-old man who shot and killed at least five people Monday night has been identified as Sulejmen Talovic, a Bosnian refugee who lived in Salt Lake City.

Little additional information was released about Talovic.

The Bosnian community, which numbers about 3,000 in Utah, planned a news conference later this afternoon.

Talovic parked his car in the west parking lot and walked into the mall, encountering two people, whom he shot. Then he walked further into the mall and shot a woman, said Police Chief Chris Burbank.

He then walked to a gift shop and shot five people. He shot several other people before he was gunned down by an off-duty Ogden police officer assisted by four Salt Lake City police officers, Burbank said.

He had a backpack that carried numerous rounds of ammunition as well as a .38-caliber handgun, said the chief.

Police have no motive in the killing.

Posted by: Gotham at February 13, 2007 11:46 PM

Talovic's aunt, Ajka Onerovic, emerged briefly from the family's house to say relatives had no idea why the young man attacked so many strangers. She said the family moved to Utah from Bosnia.

"He was a such a good boy. I don't know what happened," she told Salt Lake City television station KSL.

-From Fox News, Tampa Bay, Florida

Why do we hear this same swan song after every one of these events.

Could the answer be: The Koran?

Who did this mental case associate with prior to the massacre?

All these questions are totally left unanswered after all of these events? Are there no links for these serial killers of Allah?

Sulejman's gonna be a martyr star
Suicide bomb debutante in his car

Suckin' on a halal dog outside the Tastee Freeze

Kock off those Bobby Brooks
Let me do what Allah please.

Oh yeah jihad goes on
Long after the thrill of livin is gone
Oh yeah say jihad goes on
Long after the thrill of livin is gone, now kill on.

Sulejman sits back reflects his thoughts for the moment
Scratches his head and does his best Jihad Deen.
Well you know Allah, we oughta nuke the city
Imam says "Baby, you aint missin' no-thing"

No Dominic,

It's worse than that we are just on our own. We seem to have been sold out by our government, but why? Why is there talk about protecting our borders but instead President Bush is involved in something called the Security & Prosperity Partnership (SPP), which seeks to erase our borders and turn the U.S., Mexico and Canada into a North American Union, similar to the European Union, effectively erasing the first amendment and our sovereignty.

We also have illegal immigrants telling us to get the hell out of our own country.

I tend to agree with you Marissa. There are those who have gotten so used to biting their tongues rather than offending select groups that it naturally spills over into the religion that is Islam.

I have little use for such people who would even prefer to lie than to offend. If we as Americans can't break out of the fog of both political and religious correctness then we can only sink deeper into the cauldron of confusion.

Speaking the truth, even when it hurts or offends, is the best place to start. I have seen lots of politicians and others in the public eye who are all to eager to kiss butts.

Most galling to me is the fact that this scumbag was the spawn of a r-e-f-u-g-e-e, seeking refuge from -presumably- mortal danger in the Balkans.
But instead of being grateful for the refuge given, apparently this punk-ass was being filled with hatred for the country which generously, stupidly, took him and his mother in.

This is what we get when we import hatred.

I have Isabella and I do weep. I weep because so many people do not see the connection between our immigration problems and the refusal of our political "leaders" to recognize that Islam is NOT a religion of peace.

It is the same mindset in that collectively we no longer see ourselves as united Americans willing to protect our American culture. Like the Europeans, we no longer seem to have the will to protect our way of life. We have become blind. It is suicidal.

New politcal party? The idea interests me. I believe new leadership in America is possible.
It would have no compromise.

I would love to see a list of murders committed by moslems. I imagine that many small, unnoticed murders are small jihads. Moslems deal lots of heavy drugs. Many drug deaths may even be attributed to jihad. Is there conflict between Columbian cocaine and Afghanistan heroin? But we don't pay attention to what religion you are here in free America. And then the race issue.... Please give us New Politicians! Help!

Jew grrrl,

It's like the late 1930's all over again. I have friends and family members who don't want to be bothered with this and they tell me I'm too caught up in it, I pay too much attention to it. I'm sure people said the same thing when the Jews started noticing their rights were being chipped away right before WWII. Well I am a student of history; I read it for fun, in fact, I figure I'll start reading fiction when I get finished with the non-fiction, but I never seem to. Because I like it so much, it's like a big puzzle, and the more I read, the more pieces I get and the bigger the picture gets. And when something stinks, I can usually trace it to a big mess or something fishy. The internet has made it even easier. In fact, I'm surprised it hasn't been shut down yet.

What's coming seems to be inevitable. What is not inevitable is that we will be destroyed by it. That depends on how we respond to it. There has to be movement in the right direction, right now, even if we haven't been able to stop the illegal immigration or the onslaught of Islamic whining in our nations. Thought is powerful and so is God, and I don't think we should be counted out yet. I think gathering here and talking together about what we want to achieve and what we want to save is productive.

I hope that when whatever comes, I'll be able to be brave and stand up to it and make a difference. And hopefully inspire others to do the same.

From one of our English Friends' explanation of their gun laws:

Goodness only knows why you guys think that we can't. Could one of you explain this to us. Where, and when, did this myth start?

Dominic.

Posted by: necessitasnonhabetlegem

We know that you have highly restrictive gun laws. The problem is that when the state knows where every gun is, it would thus theoretically be able to confiscate them rather easily in a moment of tyranny. For that system to work, one has to have "faith" in the government that it would not do so. It would be very hard to have to use arms against some future oppresive government if that government had the inside scoop on where all weapons were located in the first place. I much prefer our system which so many misguided people want to change.
They will have to pry my dead fingers from my guns in order to take them.

The no-borders Bush Administration is planning to greatly increase the annual number of "asylum visas" they issue, obviously predicting a Saigonesque-style collapse of their impotent and ill-conceived Iraqi expedition taking place in the very near future.

Looks like the U.S. will soon be flooded with a new generation of "boat people"...these ones will arrive ready (and trained) to continue a 1300+ year-old blood feud on U.S. soil...with the streets of American cities appearing more and more like the streets of Baghdad, as Sunni kills Shiite, and vice-versa, in a shopping mall near you!

Thanks W!

You will soon have a new type of boat people arriving in the USA, middle class productive Europeans.

Will the police, or FBI do a check on this poor trouble teenager, what will they find in his computers? will this information come to light?
will they investigate the mosque down the road from this mall? will THEY CONNECT THE DOTS! ITS ISLAM!

Yesterday, February 13, I’d been watching the news all morning as I always do and, just before a station break on CNN, they flashed one of those very brief (five second) news previews to keep viewers interested enough not to change the channel.

In the news preview, a man, an eyewitness to the Utah shopping mall shootings, was being interviewed at the mall who said very excitedly, "...he had a shotgun in one hand and a Koran in the other..."

Needless to say, I stayed tuned through the station break and waited for the news to return to hear the rest of this man's story. But when the news returned, it took a while to get back to that item. CNN played several other unrelated news clips first. When they did get back to the Utah mall shooting, they played a different portion of the same interview. This time, the man being interviewed was no longer excited and said nothing about a Koran, nor anything about a shotgun either.

This is interesting. Could it be that someone at CNN decided to quickly squash the item and cut the Koran part?

The Utah and Salt Lake City police are saying they have no idea for the motive. Perhaps they do, but aren't telling anyone. Do you think the public will ever know the truth?

Dominic, We have made this exchange before, you have shown that it is diffucult to obtain a firearm in Britain. In the US, if one has no criminal record and is a citizen, a fire arm can be purchased without the layers of certification you have described. It does become more difficult to acquire a concealed carry permit.

In the UK, are you allowed to own a handgun? Are you allowed to own a semi-automatic handgun or long gun? Would you be allowed to own a Ruger Mini 14 or an M1 Carbine, as I do? If you went to apply for the firearm certificates and told the police that you needed to weapon for self protection would you be given a certificate?

The legacy of the Second Amendment is that a firearm can be owned for self-protection, not "sport."

I would like to answer those who think this Moslem family was rescued from a mortal danger in Bosnia , but than - because of Islam - turned ungrateful to USA that have saved them. They were not in danger in Bosnia, on the contrary , they were the butchers, not only in the last war but also in all the wars before. They always were successfull with their strategy and were darlings of the changing World Orders. They never were punished for the incredible crimes they did on Serbs and Christians during centuries, during the Second World War, during the last war in Bosnia, so why should they question the ideology that worked so well for them and brought them so much success: This piss religious group that have created no work of arts, no culture, no state, nothing, never, lived for centuries as Otoman helper in the Balcans from killing and looting the Serbs, raping their most beautiful woman, taking away their most beautiful boys, this piss group has been raised to the level of a "nation" ("Bosnians" I can womit, when I hear this word) and given by USA and EU its own state on the expence of Serbs who cultivated and defended this piece of Europe for centuries, created under terrible conditions art and literature, given scientists whose achievements indebted the whole word (which is also conveniently not mentioned, or worse, those people are declared to be "Bosnians", "Croats" whatever, only not Serbs. The latest "innovation" is to claim that the Christian monasteries and churches in Kosovo are actually Albanian, only stolen by Serbs. Dear God, is there any end to this and why you are doing this to Serbs?)

We´re still being told that Bosnian muslims and Kosovo Albanians are very secular and Islam plays only a side role in their life and that Serbian nationalism ("extreeme right Radical party", "nationalist Kostunica", "nationalist Serbian nation", "Grossserbien", "Grossserbien", "Grossserbien")is the major threat for peace in the region. Serbs are forced to live under the rule of "Sulejmans" in Bosnia (please try for five minutes to imagine how they behave there, when they meanwhile think they can
