“Stanek said they believe the incident was isolated and does not appear to have any ties to homeland security.” How do they know that? Last October the Islamic State issued this call to Muslims in the West: “If you are not able to find an IED [improvised explosive device] or a bullet … smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him. If you are unable to do so, then burn his home, car or business. Or destroy his crops.”
“Suspect Injured Following Officer-Involved Shooting At MSP,” by Susan-Elizabeth Littlefield, CBS Minnesota, April 26, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — One man was hospitalized Saturday night after an officer-involved shooting at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
After the shots were fired, police blocked off a portion of Terminal 1 for several hours to investigate.
According to the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office, which was called in to help with the investigation, airport police were responding to a report of suspicious persons in the terminal’s car rental ramp around 9:30 p.m.
As the officers were walking on the second level of the parking ramp, a vehicle deliberately drove at them. A press release states that police shot at the vehicle. The driver was taken to a nearby hospital. His condition is not known. Authorities identified the suspect Sunday as 36-year-old Abdulkadir Sheikh Mahmoud. Once he’s out of the hospital, he’ll be facing aggravated assault charges.
Sheriff Rich Stanek said officers were interacting with a vehicle when a second vehicle intentionally drove at officers who were on foot. The suspect in the vehicle, identified as Mahmoud, attempted to run over the officers and he was shot. Authorities said the suspect drove at officers without notice or provocation.
The release also states that an officer was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Stanek said they believe the incident was isolated and does not appear to have any ties to homeland security.

During a consulting gig I ended up in a few meetings with Stanek, and know his reputation well. When working for Tim Pawlenty as Commissioner of Public Safety he took the emergency 9/11 federal grant and invested it all immediately in special radio equipment to keep things going for a major emergency. He started a buying stampede that soon saw Motorola’s inventory run dry and taking back orders.
Stanek is a good man, tough, realistic and smart. That he did the knee jerk on this tells me he was reading from a mandated script. Everybody here knows it’s stupid to have hundreds of Moslems working on airport grounds at any one time, especially as Delta plane cleaners with full plane access witihout screening.
Stanek was fired from the Commissioner of Public Safety post when it was revealed by the local globo-socialist newspaper, the Star Tribune, that he yelled the N-word after having been broadsided by a black drunk driver who was totally blitzed during the day (Stanek was a young MPD officer at the time).
It doesn’t get any better than Stanek, so his public obeisance to The Unicorn after an attack on cops tells us how deep the fictive reality around Islam has got, how constrained we are to ever be able to fight back.
This is the same airport where so many “confused radicalized Somali teens” have taken off to go join in the noble mass murder exercise early on working for Al Shabaab in Somalia and nowadays in the Levant working for ISIS.

Alarmed, Thanks for the clarification. It is impossible to get a factual story from the MSM. They only seek to find events that fit their contrived stories which are always consistent with their political theme and ideology… which is Democrat and Marxist.
Key public officials have little choice when their job is on the line. Either they conform to politicians’ demands or they must leave their job and likely need to move their family to another city.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Yeah, if Stanek had said what he really thought he’d be getting fired today. When he was a precinct commander he moonlighted as a state senator who led the fight for budgetary constraint, so he knows politics. (He resigned from the state senate when he took the Minnesota Commissioner of Public Safety position.)
I remember how during the weekly commander meetings I attended as an observer then Chief Bob Olson would look at me and smile after Stanek spoke, as if to say “See APF, we’ve got some sharp ones here in the MPD.” Stanek never even so much as looked at me or acknowledged my presence. The other non-cops in the meetings were usually prosecutors, whom Stanek and his fellow commanders seemed pained to be around; he didn’t acknowledge their presence, either. The top cops felt outsiders were not to be trusted, and given the many times the police department has been burned, a favorite political sport in this town, I understood.
Many feel that Stanek will eventually run for governor, maybe next time around, and that when he does he could win.
Spot On says
Those type appointed positions held by true professionals at that level are difficult to handle since the pure political people above them control their public discourse. The pure political people are very good at showing what will happen if they are crossed up publically. If the true professionals disagree in public with the pure political people, they will have the people with long knives come after them.
I wish him the best in his political endeavors. He sounds like a good guy and the kind of leader people need. We have the very same kind of thing happening here in our state all the time. I wish the public could know how this works but that is not possible.
Jaladhi says
Jihad has already come to USA but the “wise” people of media, police, administration refuse to recognize it. As the existing population of Muslims from Somalia and other Islamic hell holes is not enough, these wise men plan to invite more Muslims from Syria, Iraq, Somalia, Nigeria, ….
mortimer says
They still think that by making excuses for jihadists, most Muslims will not approve. In fact, at least 15% of Muslims approve of terrorist organizations and presumably fund them. As many as a few thousand in Western countries are jihadist wannabes. They are free to plot terror attacks or they may suddenly ‘flip’ someday without any warning.
We have lots to be worried about. The jihadists are hard to predict.
Isn’t Islam wonderful?
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Isn’t Islam wonderful?
Yes, it is. I wonder about Moslems all the time. But I think your numbers are low. Remember, they were dancing in the streets in New York and northern New Jersey after the first tower collapsed in on itself. I’d say that, secretly at least, an estimated 100% of Moslems approve of terrorist organizations, Jihad ones, at least, and that there about 100,000 young Moslem Men who are Jihadist wannabes.
Do auto-Jihad in the name of the Moslem god
Auto-Jihad, burn fossil fuel from the Peninsula and mow down an Infidel bod,
Do the right thing, cabbie, give them the full weight of Holy Allah’s displeasure.
Lay a tire read across an Infidel back, spin the wheels, rev your motor and nod,
Put your car in reverse, look back, take aim, and back over him at your leisure.

When this situation finally blows up, and there is mass killings in the U.S., the State can only sit back and watch. How many of the millions of people in the Russian or Romanian revolutions were tried for murders during the uprisings? None. People really need to study history to find out how these things turn out.

NCIS- Los Angeles on the most recent episode, had a group making claims that all muslims should be sent back to their country of origin and saying on street corners some things about islam that are true…*honor killings*, etc. But the group was made to look like, and was called, extremist to the point of being against everybody…rather like they were supposed to be neo-nazis or some nut house escapees
Although the culprits were really muslim bad guys, the ncis guys were after a former sniper who was going to kill an imam. It seems the show writers couldn’t decide just which way to go…truth or not?
.
During the show, ll Cool J said that *99% of muslims are innocent* and that the alaakybar thingy means, “God is great” and that it is a *wonderful* thing to say.
From every corner, the beast’s image is being propagated as something to be admired and worshipped as something good. The public mostly expects to hear the truth from law enforcement, even with all of the other things going on involving them.
Regular people don’t stand much chance of getting the truth of things until it will be very late…for many, too late.

Allahu translates to mean Allah is greater, as in our god is greater than your god. This is a terrible thing to say, because it indicates a religion that has gone to war to destroy all other religions. This is the very essence is Islam, a fact proved by the command Fight until there is no God but Allah.
But even when Moslems bleat Allah Akbar instead of Allahu Akbar, the meaning is the same, because they believe that there is only one God, Allah, the former rock god, and in these times the greatest rock star. No pun intended, of course.
somehistory says
All true, but the bad thing is, LL will be believed and the truth of the matter remains hidden. For now, anyway. It will come out.
When I was a child, I believed in Mickey Mouse being real….funny how that happens when my mom set mouse traps now and then to catch ones coming in from the field. They were dirty and we wished to kill them before they got into the food. But Mickey was a good mouse and made us laugh. Stories can influence a person’s thinking. Television shows that pretend to know what they are saying about islam do a lot of harm.

Muslims REALLY need to stop killing non-Muslims in the name of Allah
Charli Main says
Then they would no longer be Muslins and wouldn´t get to Allah´s whore house in the sky. No virgins, little boys, herds of sexy goats and a permanent erection.

See, this is exactly why they need to change their priorities. There really is a lot more to life than what you described. 😉
Benedict says
They can’t help it. It is written in the Koran where Allah tells his followers that all non-Muslims have to be killed and Muslims rule the world

I’ll make an observation. It’s cases like this that showcase the severe danger that the Obama administration poses to police.
Recall that US Attorney General Holder opened a federal civil rights investigation into the Ferguson shooting. The shooting involved a police officer shooting a black teenager who was assaulting him. The incident was also under local investigation.
Now, police make mistakes and get disciplined all the time. The investigation is part of the job. But, if police under surprise assault react quickly, they always face the risk of an expensive and risky federal investigation, which is an unknown quantity, as federal rules and venues are very different from states.
So, police are under pressure to hold their fire to make absolutely certain, in a fluid and dangerous situation. This makes things more dangerous for police. Generally, in terms of local investigation and prosecution, the police are given the benefit of the doubt in a situation of genuine threat.
I’m not advocating a license to kill for police. I’m saying that this is a policy of federal investigation every time a white police officer kills a black, resulting in a significantly greater risk to the police.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Imagine what would happen if a Moslem wearing one of those stupid little white caps died at the hands of police brutality, imagined or real. There’d be hell to pay, and bleating and whining galore. It’d be awful, so bad that Iranian warships would begin ramming vessels in the Strait of Hormuz to protest.
Congressmen Carson and Ellison would surely lead the Bleat Parade, pumping their black and green pom poms, further deepening the humiliating fact of my Indanapolis/Minneapolis roots.
swampbubbles says
Can you imagine what will happen when and if that Nation of Islam barricades riots with its wall of people in the next city with its ruse of peace? And what will happen when our military (after civilian forces/’the cops’ have been neutered) takes out the whole line of them?
Islamo-Fascists are yearning for that very thing as a catalyst to retaliate the ‘martyrs” deaths.
Also — the elephant in the room — does CNN know its online report reads more like a tabloid every day?

“Stanek said they believe the incident was isolated and does not appear to have any ties to homeland security”
I agree we should not talk about it until the investigation is over in 2 years or so. By then the problem will be forgotten and life will be great in the USA. I wonder how many more Jihadi attempts that we do not hear in America. I bet it is a lot.

If whoever arrived to that conclusion really believes it (as opposed to just saying it not to cause panic), then I have a transatlantic bridge I’d like to sell them…

Was this particular ‘driver’ operating an Airport Taxi?
Was the cab decorated with a series of four stickers declaring:
“Lay Aside Your Pride”
“Put Down Your Arrogance”
“Remember Your Grave”
“The Answer is in The Qu’ran”…?
Four years ago Pam G posted a letter I wrote, which included some freeway experiences with angry Somali men, among other things. One of the cars was covered in stickers blaring the above message.
@APF: I heartily agree, and fear your 1:15 PM premise could eventually occur here in Mpls. God help the police against the wrath of Doug Hooper.

Deport him immediately to his country of origin, though he may be second generation American
Jack Holan says
pathetic! the THe US Needs to send so many officers from each city with a certain population level for 10 business days for training. It might start making a difference in identifying and understanding what to consider. They are only going to be be brushed over by DHS and the FBi they will remain chronically ignorant unable to serve and protect. They will meet eager counterparts that want to help. I lived there for a decade.
Muslim says
I read just hatred like Islam is all about actions of certain individuals. Show some respect and dignity for your human race. Go back to your country. Guess what USA is the country of everybody.
Read about Islam and don’t be blind
