Actually they just wounded her. The note they left read in part: “We shall lie and wait and ambush you and kill you wherever you may be and confined and besiege you in America…”
That is reminiscent of this: “Arrest them, besiege them, lie in ambush everywhere for them…” — Qur’an 9:5
The Islamic State strikes in Pakistan: “US Woman Shot And Wounded In Pakistan By Men Claiming To Be Militants,” Reuters, April 16, 2015:
(Reuters) – Men claiming to be Islamic militants shot and wounded an American woman in the southern Pakistani city of Karachi on Thursday, leaving leaflets in her car naming her and saying they had targeted her because she was American, police said.
Gunmen on motorbikes shot Debra Lobo in the face and the hand as she drove home from the dental college where she worked as a vice principal.
Police said it was unclear if the attack had actually been carried out by militants, or by men posing as militants.
Pakistan is plagued by an Islamist Taliban insurgency but is also home to many other militant groups and criminal gangs. Some Taliban splinter groups have pledged allegiance to Islamic State. Extortionists and other criminals also often claim to be militants.
“Pamphlets claiming the attack have been found in the car, giving impression that some banned (militant) outfit carried out the attack,” deputy police superintendent Nasir Lodhi told Reuters.
The English version of the pamphlet read: “Oh crusaders, we are the lions of Dualat [sic; it should be Daulat] al Islamia [the Islamic State], the falcons of the caliph. Today we killed this Kansas lady Lobo, we shall lie and wait and ambush you and kill you wherever you may be and confined and besiege you in America and then god willing … we will burn American.”
An Urdu version of the pamphlet was also left. None of the references pointed to any known Islamist militant group.
The leaflet said the attack was revenge for the killing of five suspected militants in Karachi the day before.
Lodhi said Lobo was in her mid-50s, had been living in Pakistan since 1998, and was married to a Pakistani….
Charles R.L. Power says
I don’t get it. Is there supposed to be some sort of difference between Muslim fanatics and criminal extortionists? I guess the Pakistanis call them extortionists if they disapprove of the flavor of Islam involved.

Well, thank God she wasn’t killed. But look at the nonsense spouted by the Police. So was the attack by men trying to give “militants” a bad name? Robbery or ransom doesn’t appear to have been the motive. Freelance Militants perhaps?
Baucent says
Thank God she was not killed. Is she is a missionary dentist? Who else would put up living in that madhouse country.
Herb Benty says
Pakistan…….good grief, I remember the West having high hopes for that Nation. Islam is like some “morphed” Thuggee mob from ancient India. Only Islam kills even randomly, and that is “blessed” by the Koran. Murder is blessed? Islam’s god is not the Hebrew or Christian G-d.
Lia Wissing says
Mr Netanyahy was right when he called for Jews to return to Israel. It is also time for all in foreign countries to return to their land of birth.
Gungadin says
Having spent a year in Morocco a very long time ago and recently viewing a number of You Tube videos that depicted Rabat and Casablanca and all the “improvements” made over the years, I still wouldn’t visit that country again — although I’ve been urged to do so by some Moroccans who now live nearby…..There’s NOTHING over there worth visiting again…….I guess there’s good, well meaning people who visit and work in these muslim countries and I praise their wherewithal to be who they are and their good intentions….but SERIOUSLY do they NOT know what the consequences of just BEING there might cause them? So sad indeed….glad she survived

As this woman was married allegedly to a Pakistani she would have to be converted to Islam.Being a muslim then is of no value to these halfwit Islamists
Mirren10 says
”As this woman was married allegedly to a Pakistani she would have to be converted to Islam.”
Not necessarily. There are *Christian** Pakistanis, although not many.
Carlos Danger says
I think it’s considered ok for a Male muslim to possess a Christian wife, but haram for a Muslim woman to marry a male Christian.
gravenimage says
Roger, Muslim men can marry non-Muslim women—but non-Muslim men may not marry Muslim women. This is because Islam considers women inferior, and no Infidel may ever dominate.
So Debra Lobo may have converted, but not necessarily.
It is also possible that she married a Christian or Hindu Pakistani. The fact that she is likely using her maiden name—Lobo—makes this last more likely, even though non-Muslims make up such a small part of the population in Pakistan. Most Muslims would demand that a wife take her husband’s name.

Lions of the Islamic State? How very brave, how very lion-like of you to shoot an unarmed woman in a car.
romney says
As the pigs of islam continue to kill non-muslims it is time to send them a reminder. They say they are coming and they know where our military and their families’ are, so let’s realize that goes two ways. We know where “they” are; in our meat processing plants, cabs for hire, shitty little convenience stores with shelves stripped bare, And the biggest concentration of all, their damn mosques. YES, WE KNOW WHERE YOU ARE TOO. DON’T GET TOO CONFIDENT. One day soon you will kill your last non-muslim with little or no punishment. America will rise up and your asses won’t be safe at the above locations or in travel to or from them, you filthy sub-humans. Americans, patriots, all religious denominations and faiths, protectors of your freedom and families…….DO NOT TOLERATE THIS. TO DO SO IS HATING YOUR OWN FAMILY AND COUNTRY. You are cowards if you tolerate killing of your families and country.
DP111 says
YES, WE KNOW WHERE YOU ARE TOO.
Exactly. We know the GPS coordinates of each Islamic city and town. They are already in Predator memory banks, F!5, F16, B58, and assorted missiles.
So yes, be very careful.
Why?
Well America hs a hiostory of throwing up realist presidents. You dont know what such a president may unleash. So take care.

Or militants posing as men posing as militants, who are posing as militants posing as men posing as militants…
I hope that cleared it up for you…

If you cant dazzle’em with deception, then blow’em with bull. Pakistanies are full of it.

And the Western media is often complicit with this obfuscation—NBC described this as a “drive-by shooting”, as though Ms. Lobo had just wandered into a high-crime neighborhood—instead of being deliberately targeted because she is American.
Sam says
Militants attacking a woman? At this age if anyone says he is a Moslem, you are talking to an ignorant person or an evil person. Either case discriminate.

”Lions” of the Islamic State?
Jihadists are nothing but ruthless cowards who prey on helpless children and women, and bound and blindfolded men.
Utter cowards who are beneath contempt.
eduardo odraude says
I don’t think they are cowards or brave. They are delusional.
Atikva says
Would Mr. Spencer be kind enough to use the proper word “terrorists”, not just “militants” when speaking of these jihadis?
Marylou says
I agree, but that was Reuters, not Robert.
gravenimage says
“Militants” is the term used in the article, not by Mr. Spencer. And even “terrorists” is a euphemism—they are Jihadists.
Darth Chipmunk says
“men claiming to be islamic militants”! I just love the media. They’re so desperate to further the “Peaceful Islam” narrative that they start the story with a sentence that suggests the militants self-describe as Islamist, but may not be! I’m sure, any second now, all thise “Moderate Muslims” we keep hearing about will rise up against these userpers of their faith and they’ll save this woman, they’ll stop jihad and we’ll have world peace. Yep… any second now, right Reuters?
David says
Lions of the Islamic State? More like hyenas and jackels.
Myxlplik says
This is what happens when Islamic culture dominates a society. Perpetual cultural Downs Syndrome, enforced through violence, without hope for cure. Islamic sharia enforcers have divine right via Quranic doctrines to act as extrajudicial lymphocytes, which can cause gingivitis among other things.

“Oh crusaders, we are the lions of Dualat” – I say bring it on you stone-age demon worshipers or is it simply human slugs!

Another boost to Pakistan tourism !

that ship sailed quite a while back.
JoeSnow says
Tell me again why she was living in Pakistan if she was an American? Who the hell wants to move to Pakistan from America? It’s hard for me to generate sympathy for anyone who knowingly moves to a place filled with Muslim militants and expects to be able to lead a quiet life there.

Yeah—”lions” and “falcons” try to murder an unarmed middle-aged female school vice principal. What “brave Mujahideen”…sarc/off
And look what they are characterizing as a “crusade”—helping to *run a dental school*.

……………………..
Only in Dar-al-islam would you see the claim that criminals pose as murdering Jihadists in order to look better.
But really, this is mostly whitewash—extortion and kidnapping and other crimes are actually perfectly Islamic.
Also, consider: when “militants” are regularly murdering innocent people, the idea that extortion would make them look bad is just grimly laughable.
A small aside: the school in question is Jinnah Medical and Dental College, which is on Shaheed-e-Millat Road. “Shaheed-e-Millat” means “Jihadi Martyr of the nation”, which shows how deeply ingrained Jihad is in official Pakistani society.
No wonder the police are whitewashing this…

How very brazen they have become. What cowards! An American woman there to help dentistry, married to a Pakistani man, is shot in the face. Cowards.
