Watch this space for updates. "Bulldozer driver shot dead after going on rampage in capital," from the Jerusalem Post, July 2:
At least four people were killed and 44 were wounded - one seriously, one moderately and 42 lightly - on Wednesday afternoon when a bulldozer driver went on a rampage in downtown Jerusalem.
Police said that the driver plowed his vehicle into two public buses, toppling them over, and slammed into several cars.
A off-duty soldier took the gun from an elite policeman at the scene and shot the terrorist dead. The soldier, Moshe Klessner, 18, is the brother-in-law of IDF officer David Shapira, who killed the terrorist in the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva attack, Channel 2 reported.
Klessner was assisted in neutralizing the attacker by another elite policeman.
Another elite policeman was lightly wounded, apparently by gunfire, indicating that the terrorist was armed.
Police said the incident was definitely a terror attack, emphasizing that the terrorist, Jabr Duwait, a 32-year-old father of two from Jebl Mukaber, was carrying an Israeli identity card. The Mercaz Harav attacker was from the very same east Jerusalem town....
UPDATE: The Jerusalem Post now reports 3 killed, and 57 injured.

Behold the peace of Islam. (and the need to keep the fence).

Another fine example of the religion of peace that produces such lunatic and bizarre behavior. This behavior of course is as a result of inculcation of the sick and violent Koran and Islamic doctrine. Muslims will not find this offensive because this is normal behavior in their paradigm of the world--the Islamic world--how disgusting.

Kol hakavod, Moshe Klessner.
I wonder how many more 'incidents' like this we are going to see around the world? We Gentile kafir should be keeping a close and neighbourly eye on our Jewish neighbours, wherever we are; we're ALL targets of the Jihad, but the Jews are copping it first; let's look out for them, and try to watch their backs.
I wonder, if we were able to 'listen in' on mosque sermons this Friday, not only in Arab-occupied Judea and Samaria, or in Gaza, or Egypt, or Syria, or Iran, but in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, USA, UK and Europe, just how many imams and sheikhs we would hear exhorting their fellow Muslims to go out and attack the Jews wherever they could find them?
After all, in January this year the Iranian media issued what one might call a summons for a second Kristallnacht: a call to all Muslims everywhere to attack 'Zionists' (i.e. JEWS) worldwide:
"In a January 26 2008 op-ed in the Iranian daily Kayhan, the paper's editor, Hossein Shariatmadari, who is close to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, called on Muslims to unite in a retaliatory attack on American, European, and Israeli "sensitive centers" because of "the war crimes that these countries are committing in the Gaza Strip" and because of their support for Israel.
"In his op-ed, Shar'iatmadari stressed that American and European civilians must be harmed in these attacks, so as to make the U.S. and the European countries change their policy towards Israel. He further called for harming Israelis [which also means, Jews] worldwide, and explained that Islamic regimes that prevent an Islamic attack on Israel must be toppled, because they are defending the enemy."
He said:
"But aren't most of the sensitive centers of the Zionists, of the Americans, and of some European states that support Israel already situated within the arms' reach of the Muslims? And aren't the Zionists {i.e. Jews} [vulnerable] and located within arms' reach of the Muslims at the four corners of the earth? What human and legal basis can prevent an attack on these centers and people? "

I think this bulldozer rampage in Jerusalem is part of exactly the same grand campaign as that stabbing attack on a rabbi in London, just recently.

I read the AP story on Yahoo! News as well. I found a few things disturbing in their coverage:
1) AP uses the same photo as JPost, but calls the baby a child in the caption.
2) I think this sentence is inaccurate or misleading. "Jerusalem's Arabs are not Israeli citizens but hold Israeli ID cards that allow them freedom of movement in the city and throughout Israel." Since Israel annexed East Jerusalem, don't the Arabs there have the option of becoming Israeli citizens? Most Arabs may decline for political reasons. You can't tell me that Jerusalem has no Arab Israeli citizens. Don't we always read about Arabs in Jerusalem applying for Israeli citizenship (or is it just requesting Israeli ID cards) or moving to other parts of Jerusalem whenever it looks like there might be a deal with the PA that would East Jerusalem under PA rule?
3) How does the Israeli police know so quickly that the man was acting alone and not part of a terrorist group? Is this a statement ordered by an Olmert government that won't let anything get in the way of its "peace processes?"

Yusuf Ali:

Whatever ye shall spend in the cause of God, shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly.

sheik yermami wrote: "This is a diseased culture, a sick culture."
Absolutely right. However, their actions, like that of today's terrorist, are quite logical given their twisted, hateful and violent belief system, which, of course, comes straight out of the Koran, the Hadith and the Sira, Then this belief system is amplified in the mosques, schools and government-sponsored media.
If one thinks killing Jews (or Christians) is the only sure path to heaven and that God commanded all believers to fight until the whole submits to Islam, then one acts as this terrorist did today in Jerusalem.

East Jerusalem resident, presumably employed, his father dismayed, not enthused by having a "maryr" in the family--if the Police are correct, this sounds like a case of Sudden Jihad Syndrome. The Muslim Arab population is prone to free-lance jihad, if not collectively organized terror, after all.

It didn't have to be a bulldozer. It could have been a bus, or a taxi. It didn't have to be in Jerusalem. It could have been in London, or Paris, or New York. This problem will not go away. And it will not be solved by giving in, here and there, to Muslim demands. The "problem" indeed, cannot be "solved" but can be made less of a problem, by limiting the numbers of Muslims living in Infidel lands, and severelly limiting their ability to cause damage, by having access to machines and, furthermore, by making clear that every such act will lead, in the end, to a kind of retaliation that will undo whatever slow gains Muslims think they may have made in the Western world, and they may find that if they cannot control themselves or their fellow Muslims, it is the collective -- as in any war -- that will be made to pay, just as non-Nazi Germans and non-militarist Japanese must have been among those in Hamburg and Berlin, in Tokyo and Hiroshima, who had bombs rained down upon them.
We in the Western world are not obligated to turn our countries into armed camps, or to spend tens or hundreds of billions of dollars to monitor Muslim populations. We don't need to endure this kind of act, or the constant threat of this kind of thing coming, in some cases, from Muslims who never before gave any sign of being so murderous, but who, for whatever reason, decided to act on the texts of Islam in this manner. We have many things to worry about, including a possible point of no-return in global warming, and all that would come with it. We have all kinds of problems to worry about. We in the advanced nations do not need to spend trillions, in Iraq and Afghanistan and Pakistan, buying off, or trying to, in the sentimental messianism of bringing "freedom" to "ordinary moms and dads" (who "just happen to be Muslim"), or in the naive, schoolgirl machiavellianism that characterizes the continued lavishing of billions on the permanently meretricious -- because Muslim -- states of Pakistan, or Egypt, or those "no-one-here-but-us-accountants" of the "Palestinian Authority," who are simply the PLO dressed up with no place to go, the shock troops of the Lesser Jihad against Israel.
No, we don't. And more and more Infidels will discover that deterrence will work. But deterrence doesn't just work with states. It works with people who, carrying undeclared in their mental baggage doctrines that mean for you, the Infidel, all kinds of murderous trouble, can be deterred if they are fearful of the consequences.
Let them be fearful. Let them wonder if the Western world, if the world of Infidles, intends to endure uncomplainingly the way in which their presence, in for example the countries of Western Europe, has created, not only for the indigenous Infidels, but also for other, but non-Muslmi, immigrants, a situation that is far more unpleasant, expensive (the expense of monitoring that population, the expense of checking its incessant attempts, legal and otherwise, of transforming our legal and political instiutitons to conform with Muslim demands, Muslim desires), and -- as the monitory example of Israel shows -- physically dangerous, than it would be without such a large-scale Muslim presence.
In Europe, even those who, out of fear, or want of imagination, can't bring themselves to think rationally about counter-measures to be taken, who think "nothing can be done" or wail "but what at this point can we do?" could not possibly disagree with that assessment: they now, in Great Britain and in France, and everywhere else in Western Europe, because of the large-scale presence of Muslims, there is greater unpleasantness, expense, and physical danger, for Infidels everywhere. That cannot be disputed.

Sounds like lawful Quranic warfare to me. Individual Jihad is sanctionable under Sharia, and this guy is simply doing what most Arab Muslims who understand continuous psychological and political warfare must do, which is 1) Heart War- To hate all non-Muslims with all their hearts, 2) Speech War- For all those Muslims who are adept at the pen to spread their Holy Rage, and 3) Individual Jihad- Muslims must strike fear in the infidel all over the world until they feel themselves subdued.
That's it. That's the way it will always be. There is no compromise. There is no change. That's the reality we must accept, and then take measures to stop/avoid.
Unfortunately, it's a political reality that no politican who matters, it seems, will EVER be willing to make. What a shame for us.

Perhaps this news provides a small step in the right direction:
Truth About Islam in Academia?Posted by: heroyalwhynessWhile the Middle East Studies Association (MESA) has long dominated the field, its highly politicized leadership's inability to withstand criticism, inattention to radical Islam, and apologetic approach towards the West's foes has left many Middle East studies scholars feeling unwelcome by their umbrella professional organization. Enter the Association for the Study of the Middle East and Africa (ASMEA). Founded last year by Professors Bernard Lewis and Fouad Ajami, ASMEA offers an alternative to MESA's post-colonialist biases and a venue for studying those elements of Islam and the Middle East that MESA's leaders ignore or downplay.ASMEA's emergence is cause for optimism. As Franck Salameh, a scholar of the Middle East at Boston College, has written,
The complex and richly textured Middle East deserves far more than the bromides and reductionist commentary that have of late become the hallmark of some of our day's most influential scholars in the field. ASMEA promises to provide such critically needed diversity of perspective.
To see how things have progressed during its first few months of existence, I interviewed ASMEA's director of public affairs, Patrick Creamer to find out more about the organization's founding, its inaugural conference in April, 2008, and its future.
***
CS: Why was ASMEA founded?Creamer: ASMEA was formed as a response to the mounting interest in these increasingly inter-related fields, and the absence of any single group addressing them in a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary fashion. The Association also seeks to fill a second void caused by the absence of free inquiry and honest scholastic debate on research pertaining to Middle East studies and African studies within academia.
CS: ASMEA president and professor of political science at California State University at San Bernardino, Mark T. Clark, told Inside Higher Education that ASMEA's founders wanted an association "that would be more independent and reflect the academic community more than interest groups."
Can you elaborate on that?
Creamer: ASMEA's goal is to be the academic association of choice for scholars with an interest in the Middle East and Africa. We intend to achieve this goal by offering superior services and encouraging a robust exchange of ideas amongst members—principles which are often shunned in other circles. Free inquiry, greater mix of perspectives, and a desire to learn about the entirety of the Middle East and Africa, and not just issues and viewpoints dictated by a few, are among the ways ASMEA seeks to build the bedrock for the next generation of scholars and teachers.
CS: Was ASMEA meant to be an alternative to MESA and if so, what are the problems with MESA that led to its founding?
Creamer: There is a feeling among many who study the Middle East and issues concerning the region that there was not a truly open academic society for them to participate in prior to the creation of ASMEA. As ASMEA Chairman Bernard Lewis said during his keynote speech at the inaugural conference, Middle East studies are "beset by difficulties." During Professor Lewis's keynote, he cited "the clash of disciplines and lack of mutual recognition between them," as well as "the deadly hand of political correctness," as the major difficulties facing those who participate in Middle East studies. To that end, Professor Lewis concluded his keynote by saying, "I hope this organization will make a significant contribution to changing that." That is certainly a founding goal of ASMEA.
CS: Scholars who are loyal to MESA argue that ASMEA has its own biases. For instance, Bassam Haddad, director of the Middle East Studies Program at George Mason University, accused ASMEA of being "a response, rather than an organic expression of a desire to learn."
University of Michigan history professor Juan Cole labeled ASMEA "exclusively ideological" and only "for people on the right."
And Laurie A. Brand, professor of international relations at the University of Southern California and the head of MESA's academic freedom committee, accused ASMEA's leadership of being "at the forefront of the neoconservative support group for the new administration" and of having its own "political agenda."
What is your response to these accusations?
Creamer: I am not going to respond point by point to their accusations. A quick scan of each of these individual's writings will show that they are not shy about spreading their ideological viewpoints. That said, it is important to note that ASMEA—to use Professor Haddad's interesting choice of words—was born out of an "organic expression of a desire to learn" in the truest sense. This Association blossomed because many in the academic community felt the status quo quashed their efforts to engage in the discussion. Scholars want a true academic association where all ideas are discussed and research is judged on its merits, not whether it passes the litmus test of the status quo.
CS: How is ASMEA funded?
Creamer: We are a non-profit organization which receives revenue from members along with a network of private foundations.
CS: In comments posted at the Middle East Strategy at Harvard website, Middle East studies scholars Philip Carl Salzman and Raymond Ibrahim had nothing but praise for ASMEA's April, 2008 inaugural conference. Ibrahim described it as "a breath of fresh air," while Salzman noted that the "‘postcolonial' approach so prevalent in MESA, blaming all problems of the Middle East on the West, was not much in evidence" and that "many of the difficult issues of contemporary conflict were tackled head-on in ASMEA conference papers." How do you think the conference went?
Creamer: The feedback we received from the conference from presenters and attendees alike has been overwhelmingly positive. We are looking forward to, and laying the groundwork for, our second annual conference to be held in 2009, as well as looking at some ideas for smaller regional conferences in the future to build off the successes of our inaugural conference.
CS: Critics have pointed to the alleged preponderance of representatives from military and national security-related think tanks and organizations as reason to question ASMEA's appeal to fellow academics. Meanwhile, Philip Carl Salzman called this "a constructive development" and noted that "we want academics to be more realistic, and we want agencies, governments, and the military to be better informed." How do you respond?
Creamer: ASMEA's leadership and the general consensus of members on hand at the conference was that this was a positive benefit of holding our conference in Washington. By its nature, there is a large military presence as well as a large think tank population within the Beltway. With their attendance at our conference, our members had the benefit of sharing their research with policy-makers, decision-makers, and influence-makers. Most scholars would jump at that opportunity. The same could be said of the Embassy representatives from the African and Middle East nations who attended. So we think it is an additional service we can offer our members. I do want to stress, however, that the overwhelming percentage of those on hand at ASMEA's inaugural conference were either professors or students.
CS: How does ASMEA approach the study of Islamism/Jihadism/Islamic terrorism?
Creamer: Jihadism is certainly a topic that our membership is extremely interested in and that the Association is not going to shy away from. Our first conference centered on the profound influence of Islam in Africa and the Middle East and it sparked many discussions about Jihadism. Over the course of the two days of the conference, a number of presentations focusing on the impact of Islam, both in the traditional sense and the modern, more extreme interpretations, touched on or focused intensely on Jihad. Most of the feedback we received on the conference's theme and discussions has been positive and there appears to be a real thirst for scholastic inquiry into this subject matter that others have traditionally swept aside in academia.
CS: What are ASMEA's future plans or goals? Do you see the organization growing?
Creamer: As ASMEA's membership continues to grow, we have big plans for the future. We hope to hold smaller regional conferences and events along with our annual conference; our first published journal is set to come out at the end of the year; and we intend to roll out a new state-of-the-art website which will allow for a number of new services via the web for our members
at July 2, 2008 10:24 AM
From the last Jerusalem Post update:
"Finally, an off-duty soldier took a gun from a citizen at the scene and shot the terrorist, who cried "Allah Akhbar" (God is great) before being killed."
And German media still claim "the reason for the attack is unclear".

Much as I despise Putin, at least his secret police are now on a campaign to dispatch these animals wherever they hide. Maybe if the U.S. hadn't armed bin laden, Putin wouldn't feel compelled to arm the mullahs now, but there's nothing to say those SA20's need to actually work, is there?

A sick new twist--Sudden 'Dozer Jihad.
It's odd--so much was made of the Rachel Corrie case, although Israel always does everything they can to clear an area before razing buildings. Rachel Corrie, of course, deliberately ignored warnings to clear out, and yet many people acted as though Israelis were deliberately mowing people down with bulldozers.
Well, here you have the real thing, and it certainly wasn't a zionist at the controls.

My God--how desperate to realize that the best hope for you baby's survival is to throw her out of a car! I will pray for this child's parents.
And how much worse would things have been if not for the quick actions of young off-duty soldier Moshe Klessner? It looks as though heroism runs in the family, since his brother-in-law killed the terrorist in the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva attack.
I wonder whether kaffirs outside Israel would be able to respond so decisively to a similar attack? I rather doubt it. In The San Francisco SUV Sudden Jihad case, Omeed Aziz Popal, after running victims down with his SUV, deliberately returned to the same locations to try to hit people coming to their aid. Bystanders said that it was this that shocked them most of all, and most indicated that Popal's actions were premeditated.
We don't have a lot of information yet, but a few things seem likely--Jabr Duwait, at 32, was no "kid" who thought jihad would be exciting. As a father of two, he had a family, often considered a stabalizing influence. He was either an Israeli citizen, or had the equilance of a "green card", and he had a good job as a heavy-equipment operator.
None of these things--in the face of conventional wisdom--prevented him from committing violent jihad.

One more time...Constant contact with Allah, The Quran, and Mohammad worship, create psychotic episodes in believers. The proof is overwhelming. Bulldozer jihad is just one of its symptomatic
manifestations. Israel has psychotic people living next door, and in its midst. The same psychosis is growing around the world. Prozac in the water supply wont help. Islam can't be stopped, but it can be contained and minimized. In order to do that, the sane people have to get rid of PC politicians, and take stiff measures against Islamic hegemony. Something that so far has not been done.
Bull dozer jihad is Islams response to appeasement.
The western politic needs more Geert Wilders, and less to none, of Barack Obama's, who will be Islams favorite appeaser. If they like G Bush, the killer of muslims, as a closet appeaser, and an out front spokesman for Islam, wait till Obama gets in...
Boy are they going to like him...some more psychotic behavior...

arjun.sevak,
Great article. The greatest irony is that these people were arrested in Saudi Arabia and that al Qaeda is emulating Saudi Arabia in one important aspect: creating enclaves in "the wilderness" to facilitate the spread of Islam in the West. The Saudis have financed this for years and now they will be destroyed by their own creations.
The man performed a miracle. In one short paragraph he made me appreciate George W. Bush:
The only Western power still capable of resisting is the United States, he believes. But that, too, will change once President Bush is gone.
The only problem is this article will be received with the same disbelief as past threats were. Our leaders choose to believe that these people are just venting hot air, that they don't have the support of (peaceful?) Muslims around the world and that their threats and aims are so grandiose that they can just be discarded. No one believes they can bring them to fruition. We were warned for at least two decades that the US mainland would one day be hit by a huge terror attack. People brushed it off, saying that American Muslims were assimilated into the community and had no desire to destroy it.
One look at Europe is enough to realize that the US is nearing the brink. We have many people who are willing to fight to protect our liberty and heritage. But will that be enough? We need leaders who are of the same mindset. They're nowhere to be found.

Just more proof that Islam is a mental disease. This murderer wouldn't have done what he did had he been a Christian, a Hindu, a Buddhist, an agnostic or an atheist. Truly oppressed people, like Tibetans, don't act this way, but yet Palestinian Arabs, who have principally themsleves to thank for their condition, are so steeped in self-pity and scapegoating, and so incapable of true compromise, that they have turned their entire society into a collectively murderous one. And the root cause of this is the Islamic faith, which daily is becoming more and more of a burden to the entire world.

arrjun.sevak: Thanks for the Amir Taheri article. It's chilling. Also, it helps confirm an argument I've made here many times at JW and that is that President Bush is not nearly as awful as many think he is. As the article indicated, the Islamic terrorist world thinks him their greatest foe. Of course, this will not dissuade innumerable Westerners from continuing to think Bush is an idiot and the real problem in the world. Oh brother.

This was also left out of the NYT story. If it was "Palestinian" victims, it would have been in the first three paragraphs:
"Among his innocent victims is an infant, who was injured in the attack and taken to hospital. Eyewitnesses told police that the murdered mother saved her baby, by throwing the child out the car window, just before the bulldozer crushed her to death."

I read those "diversity guidelines" from the "Society of Professional Journalists" last week. They are more concerned with sensitivity toward the terrorists and their Islamic supporters than informing the public about serious issues.

at July 2, 2008 2:29 PM
So, if I read the article at face value I would conclude that the bulldozer driver suddenly went "nuts-o" and decided to murder people.
There is no reason whatsoever to believe that that he was either a terrorist, an islamic, or engaged in jihad.
As it stands, I don't believe the article the way it is written because it isn't true.
I believe the facts warrant further inquiry and I am willing to speculate that this was not merely a deranged criminal, but rather a muslim engaged in an act of islamic terrorism and murder.
So, is this a more accurate depiction of what actually happened, or do I exaggerate?

The three organisations that took responsibility for the attack included the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade, which is loosely affiliated with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement.
The other two groups claiming responsibility were the Galilee Freedom Battalion, which is suspected of being affiliated with Lebanon's Hezbollah guerrillas, and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, a fringe left-wing militant group.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article4254225.ece
According to the times the Israelis said what?
...Israeli police said initial evidence suggested that Dawiath was a “terrorist acting on his own
Why is it that I do not believe this? I wonder what the Brits would say about the attack?
British Foreign Secretary David Miliband expressed hope that the attack would not impair current peace talks between Israel and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas’ West Bank government.
...and bush would say what?
US President George W Bush telephoned Mr Olmert and Mr Abbas to urge them to continue peace talks following the attack.
...yet the islamics themselves would say ...
The Hamas militant group, which is currently maintaining a fragile cease-fire with Israel, called it a “natural reaction” to Israeli aggression.
Hmmmm, wonder who I should believe? I think I believe Hamas.

I bet the hero did not get up in the morning thinking that today he would be a hero. Hero's usually don't. The movie 'The Hero', with Dustin Hoffman, illustrates something about hero's, they always respond, and they always disregard the danger, and they usually shrug off credit. Most of the time, they win, this was one of those times. Klessner deserves an award. If the world wont do it, we have done it here...

I still believe calling them insane is not helpful. It's easy, but not helpful.
Lee Harris writes in The Suicide of Reason:
"... the rational actor cannot exist unless his whole society has managed somehow to escape the laws of the jungle; hence, the rational actor must recognize that if he is to remain a rational actor, he must be willing to defend at all cost the traditions and institutions of the society that permits him this option. If he is deluded into believing that all men are rational actors by nature, then he will be clueless when confronted with the tribal actor, whose conduct and behavior will make no sense to him. Worse, because the rational actor will be tempted to dismiss the tribal actor as behaving irrationally, the rational actor will fail to see that it is the tribal actor, and not himself, who is acting rationally in terms of the universal struggle for survival and supremacy."

What was it about the Jews that made mohammed start this rage 1400 years ago and have it not only continue through people like Hitler, but to grow and expand to include non-Jews? I took my son to a Jewish Temple for a Bar Mitzvah and all I heard taught was peace and blessings upon all. We're not Jewish but we were welcomed with open arms and were fascinated with the service. Why would islamists hate these people? I will never understand.

The Jews refused to become Muslims. That was their cardinal sin. They were also well off, so they were a good target for plunder. In an effort to woo them, Mohammed emphasized their similarities and adopted the Yom Kippur fast, the day of atonement, turning toward Jerusalem to pray, increasing the number of prayers from two to three and even adopting Jewish dietary restrictions that forbade the eating of pork. The Jews not only refused Islam, they began to criticize it, pointing out the gaps and inconsistencies in the Koran and how it got Old Testament stories wrong. Suddenly, Mohammed's revelations painted the Jews as persecutors of past prophets. Next thing you know, new revelations made Friday the holy day, Mecca the direction for prayer, and the muezzin and Minaret, as opposed to trumpets and bells, the means to call Muslims to prayer.
Muslims hate Jews because Jews aren't Muslims and Jews rejected Islam.

My friends. The moment I saw this news item pop up here, I hopped across to JPost online, and inserted some clarifying remarks into the talkbacks to the initial coverage.
I suggest that every person here who is in agreement with, for example, Our Hugh's reading of the perpetrator, and of the situation, should post a comment giving things in this story their right names - e.g. pointing out that instead of 'palestinian' the correct terminology is "'palestinian' Arab Muslim', or, 'local Arab Muslim', and that for 'terrorist' one should read 'jihadi' or 'jihadi terrorist'.
Hugh's further point - that although this thing happened in Jerusalem yesterday, next time it might be happening anywhere else in the Lands of the Kafir, with Jewish (diaspora), or Buddhist, or Sikh, or Hindu, or animist, or Taoist, or Christian victims - should also be made. (It's really no different, for example, from that dreadful Muslim mob assault on a peaceful Coptic monastery in Egypt, that happened in June).
Similar points can be made in Letters to the Editor, first of all to Jerusalem Post and other Jewish news media and blogs; then to any of our own media that have covered it.
Time to get the term "Sudden Jihad Syndrome" (or an equivalent in, for example, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, French, Hebrew, Russian) into the language.
Shoutout to Israeli Jewish lurkers and posters: you are in our thoughts and our prayers. 'Shy Guy' - you're in Jerusalem - are you and your family OK?
Final thought: on Australian national radio news, and also in the link that Ummah Gummah gave, the jihadi is described as having 'run amok'. The reporters using this term, of course, are unlikely to reflect on the linguistic and historical origin of the phrase - but it takes us right back to Islam.
Amok is a Malay term. *Now* I think I know *why* the Malay were prone to 'running amok', with a kris, killing people. Maybe the term 'Amok' is just the Malay word for Sudden Jihad Syndrome.
Anyone here know whether non-Muslim natives of Malaysia or Indonesia, ran 'amok' in the same way, or whether it's only the Muslims that did/ do it?

Here's one of the follow-up stories - it's heartbreaking, but it shows us, also, another Jewish hero, who ran toward, not away from, trouble, and was in the right place at the right time to save a precious baby's life:

"Baby saved seconds before mother crushed".
"Jeremy Aronson ignored the danger of the approaching bulldozer on Wednesday afternoon to pluck a baby out of a car seat before the car was crushed with the mother, 33-year-old Batsheva Onterman, still inside.
"Just as I took the baby out, he {the jihad terrorist} reversed on top of the car. The baby is okay, but not the mother," Aronson told The Jerusalem Post quietly as he sat alone in the waiting room of Hadassah-University Hospital in Mount Scopus.
'Onterman, who was a kindergarten teacher at Ganei Homat Shmuel, initially had difficulty conceiving a child and had undergone two years of fertility treatments, friends told the Post at her funeral late Wednesday night in the Givat Shmuel cemetery.
"She was a unique person," said a parent of one of her students.
The director of her school in Har Homa, Ilan Kaminetsky, said they did yet know how to tell Onterman's students that she had died.
'He added that he believed Onterman had helped lift her baby out of the car to hand to a passerby.
"Aronson, 28, OF ENGLAND, who took the baby, was unhurt by the attack, other than a small cut on his right hand.
'He was on the scene from the very beginning, because he was walking to the Central Bus Station as the bulldozer tore through the street.
"I saw people running away, and I didn't understand why," he said. "Then I saw the bulldozer driving into people, driving into cars. I didn't understand what was happening. I didn't understand it was a suicide [terror attack]."
'Despite Aronson's initial confusion, he was able to act quickly. He taped the terrorist {JIHADI} attack and ensuing car crashes on his cellphone, which was later taken as evidence by the police.
"I saw the tractor going on top of the cars, and I saw the police trying to kill [the terrorist]," Aronson said.
"The shooting didn't get him, so he kept driving on top of the cars" - including the vehicle with Onterman and her baby, Efrat.
'The car, a white station wagon, could be seen strewn in pieces on Jaffa Road, with diapers and baby toys falling out of its broken side.'
A body bag, presumably containing Onterman's corpse, sat near the car as emergency crews went on to assist other wounded in the area {note: this must be a description of initial news footage, since we have already been told about Onterman's funeral, above}.
'Efrat was taken by rescue crews and transferred to Shaare Zedek Hospital. She was later given to her father Ido.'"

Note what the eyewitness says, about 2/3 of the way down:
"Another eyewitness, whose shop is across the street from the new Israel Broadcasting Authority building, said he came out to see what was causing the commotion and saw a bulldozer barrelling down the street.
"I couldn't believe it," the man said, looking at the ground. "I saw his face, it's impossible to imagine what he looked like. He had the look of murder in his eyes."

The actions of Muslims make complete sense after there is a clear understanding of the life of Mohammad. They often appear as idiots but in fact Muslims believe in Allah and attempt to carry out Mohammad's commands. It is just that simple. I strongly suggest anyone read Robert's book "The Truth About Mohammad". This book should be required reading in every school.

More on the demeanour of the jihadi bulldozer driver, as described in this story (scroll down to find):
http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1214726188187&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull
"Initially, it was suggested that the driver, soon identified as an east Jerusalem resident employed by a local construction firm, might have lost control of his vehicle and accidentally caused the bloodshed and chaos.
"But Yoni Ben-Menachem, the Israeli Radio chief who was in his car when the tractor sped toward him, quickly laid that theory to rest, recounting that he had made eye contact with the driver, who was calm, focused and knew exactly what he was doing.
"Ben-Menachem swerved onto the sidewalk to safety."
Think about that. 'Calm, focused and knew exactly what he was doing'.
That doesn't necessarily contradict the other witness's impression, to which I drew attention in a previous posting:
"I saw his face, it's impossible to imagine what he looked like. He had the look of murder in his eyes."
Not a raging 'hot' maniac, but the worst kind: the kind that kills coldly, dispassionately, with complete contempt for their victims, whom they do not regard as human, but as things.
I'm reminded of that other story, it was posted here long long ago, about the immigration official who interviewed someone who would have been on Flight 93...had not that immigration official gotten really bad vibes from the interview and not let him in; I think he said afterwards, that the interviewee felt like an assassin.
Also, if I recall correctly, a number of Sudden Jihad Syndrome cases have also carried out their destructive activities, with a kind of icy detachment.

A profile in courage:
As far as what happened," Plesser continued: "I was bicycling from the center of town [westward] towards my home, when I saw a bulldozer battering a bus lying on its side and a lot of commotion. I immediately realized that it was a terrorist attack.
I threw the bicycle to the side, and I ran towards the scene, trying to get as close as I could to the bulldozer so that I could get on it and stop the driver. As I got closer I tried to somehow get a weapon. When the bulldozer stopped, a policeman climbed up, and I climbed up right behind him, screaming at him to shoot."
"Oron Ben-Shimon, with whom I was privileged to cooperate in stopping the terrorist, also climbed up, and he and the policeman tried to stop him with their hands. At first I could not shoot him, because the policeman stood in between us and the terrorist. The terrorist suddenly got up and started to drive again, screaming out Allahu Akbar, and Oron was able to turn the steering wheel so that the bulldozer wouldn't run over more cars.
Finally, I was able to grab Oron's gun and shoot over the heads of the policeman and Oron, three bullets to his head. Then a Yassam policeman got on and fired again to ascertain his death."

This was covered on Fox News--the attack actually happended on the main street right outside Fox's Jerusalem affiliate, and so several people filmed parts of the attack.
The bulldozer was *huge*, and it was impossible for anyone to get a clear shot from below. Moshe Klessner had to jump onto the wildly moving vehicle and lean right into the cab in order to shoot the jihadist and stop the rampage. An even braver act than I had at first realized.
The local reporter also said that Duwait's brother had been arrested. Perhaps he wasn't acting entirely alone after all. . .
