Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Texas jihad gunman ID’d, was previously subject of terror investigation

May 4, 2015 9:31 am By Robert Spencer

ht_elton_simpson_garland_texas_bug_jc_150504_16x9_992“Simpson was well known to the FBI. Five years ago he was convicted for lying to federal agents about his plans to travel to Africa, but a judge ruled the government did not adequately prove he was going to join a terror group there.” He did it here instead.

And today the mainstream media is rushing to claim that we provoked them, brought it on ourselves, etc. The idea that in the face of violent intimidation we must kowtow and give the thugs what they want seems to be taken for granted as axiomatic by everyone.

“One of Garland, Texas Shooting Suspects ID’d, Official Says,” by Brian Ross, Rhonda Schwartz, and Randy Kreider, ABC News, May 4, 2015:

One of the suspects in the shooting in Garland, Texas, late Sunday has been identified as Elton Simpson, an Arizona man who was previously the subject of a terror investigation, according to a senior FBI official.

Overnight and today FBI agents and a bomb squad were at Simpson’s home in an apartment complex in north Phoenix where a robot is believed to be conducting an initial search of the apartment.

Officials believe Simpson is the person who sent out several Twitter messages prior to the attack on Sunday, in the last one using the hashtag #TexasAttack about half an hour before the shooting.

Local police said two suspects opened fire late Sunday outside a community center in Garland that was hosting an event displaying cartoons of the prophet Muhammad. One unarmed security guard was injured, but other security officers managed to fatally shoot both attackers before anyone else was hurt or killed.

Followers of ISIS had been sending messages about the event in Texas for more than a week, calling for attacks. One referenced January’s Charlie Hebdo massacre in France and said it was time for “brothers” in the United States to do their part.

Simpson was well known to the FBI. Five years ago he was convicted for lying to federal agents about his plans to travel to Africa, but a judge ruled the government did not adequately prove he was going to join a terror group there….

    “Simpson was well known to the FBI.”

    ALL of these known jihadists should have an gps collar or bracelet or anklet to track their movements, so that any time they venture near a sensitive area, they can be intercepted.

      As right as you are on this one, it’s easy to imagine CAIR then trying to claim victimhood status for them, and even comparing the action to what the Nazis did to label Jews in the 1930’s. I could just seem them saying that insane “comparison” with a straight face.

      It is very good news that the Islamic terrorist jihadists are the only ones who are dead in the jihad attack.
      Thank God that Pamela, R.Spencer and Geert as well as the other freedom-loving people the conference are all safe. I will continue for praying or Pamela, Dr. Spencer and other freedom fighters. As an ex-muslim,
      I understand how islam is simply pure evil and the only way for America to be safe from Islamic hate and jihad is to ban islam and stop Islamic immigration into the USA. Our politicians should stop siding with Islamic terrorist groups and Islamic governments in the muslim world such as Saudi Arabia, Turkey and other Islamic groups such M.B. God bless America!

        Having a conference in which the freedom of speech and expression is maturely and intelligently articulated in speeches (see the video of the event in Garland, Texas), in the context of a peaceful activism in which artistic drawings are made that violate the violently fanatical religious law of a particular religious ideology — all of that is not “pushing” in the sense of a provocation that justifies a violent response. It may well be a provocation; but not one that justifies a violent response. When Muslims respond violently, the blame & responsibility is solely and squarely on their shoulders.

        In the entire West, it is a crime to react violently when someone draws and publishes mocking cartoons of some ancient person you revere.

      • somehistory says

        May 4, 2015 at 1:38 pm

        Your kind of *reasoning* went out long ago when it was recognized that victims were no longer to be blamed fro the crimes committed against them. Such as, *women aren’t asking to be raped* because they go out in shorts or walk down the street alone.
        Of course, muslims such as the ones who tried to kill attendees of the cartoon event, still believe women deserve to be raped if they don’t cover from head to toe and walk alone.

        There is a *right* of free speech given to every human from our Creator. The U.S. Constitution writers recognized this fact and wrote it into Law.
        Many humans have made it their unlawful aim to take away this freedom of speech because they wish not to have a freedom of thought or freedom of action that might cause them to lose power and control.
        However, there is no God-given *right* to murder others who might disagree with our speech or thoughts or who say something we don’t like, draw something that offends us, or even insults us. And the law of the U.S. supports this fact also.

        Of course, if you are a devout follower of the cult of islam, then no amount of logic will make sense to you.
        On the other hand, if you are not a devout follower, then wise up. The devil’s beast of islam is doomed as are those who continue to do satan’s bidding.

        Lance posted:

        “I get that you guys have an agenda.”

        Who is this “you guys” you’re talking to and what’s this alleged “agenda”?

        “Do you really feel better knowing none of that had to happen yesterday, but you caused all of this”

        The wannabe-jihadi losers were the ones who decided to take up arms and kill other people. They’re the cause of their own demise.

        “by thinking you know what’s best, though?”

        Do you have anything against free speech?

        “What’s next, effigies and more murder?”

        That’s the islamic fashion. Just ask the guy formerly know as Ca Stevens:

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYnWtPytvhI

        “Keep pushing people, and they will push back.”

        Too bad muslims don’t get it. The more they try to push non-muslims into abiding by sharia law, the more non-muslims will push back. Muslims want, for example, to prevent us from drawing muhammad? I never meant to draw muhammad in the first place but since someone wants to stop me from doing it, I’ll go ahead and do it out of principle. If you have a problem with free speech go to any given mohammedan HellHole-istan of your preference. Keep trying to push sharia restrictions and we’ll push back harder.

        “You’re all childish, and people are dying for you to prove a point.Well done. Happy now?”

        The point is that muslims want to force non-muslims to abide by sharia law. The losers who died were looking to kill non-muslims for not abiding by sharia law. Do you really expect us to feel sorry for murderous scumbags?

      No wonder Muslims love death.

    Have our Democrat Muslim congressmen, Keith Ellison and Andre Carson, both who lobbied unsuccessfully to have Geert Wilders denied a U.S. visa recently, weighed in on this development yet?

    The enemy is no longer at the gates. The enemy is in our back yard and has polluted an entire political party in our current two-party system in the U.S. They live openly in our western society and preach their hatred for all things and persons non-Islamic in their mosques, which they are trying so desperately trying to keep under wraps and out of any monitoring light of scrutiny. They have infiltrated the upper echelons of our government, and as is indicative of what we are seeing in the U.K., these occurrences of jihad will only become more frequent.

    The only thing I am certain of at this point is that President Barack Hussein Obama will have absolutely no comment on this.

      Hear that one? Crickets.

      BTW, who did Geert Wilders try and shoot when he was in Garland? All he did was help tell the truth about Islam.

    • Jack Diamond says

      May 4, 2015 at 10:32 am

      If Obama has a comment it will likely be along the lines of that by the Director of Duke University’s Islamic Studies Center, Omid Safi, who tweeted: “Two groups are responsible for this violence: those who fired bullets, and the Islamophobic AFDI (Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer and Co.) who fan the flames of hatred. Yes, we can stand up for justice, simultaneously condemning the violence of the shooters (whatever their background) and condemning the hatred of xenophobic groups who mock marginalized communities.”

      To which David Wood responded: “If someone were to murder, say, Richard Dawkins for his criticisms of Christianity, it would never cross my mind to say, “Two groups are responsible for the murder of Richard Dawkins: the people who murdered him, and Dawkins and his associates for mocking Christianity.

      “Omid Safi is the latest proof that there is a clear connection between (a) making fun of Islam, and (b) being murdered. The connection doesn’t just exist in the mind of the murderer; it exists in the minds of hundreds of millions of Muslims around the world, including many moderate Muslims.

      “Oddly enough, Safi’s attempts to blame Spencer and Geller for jihadist violence only underscore the need to address Muhammad’s teachings. Safi portrays himself as a “progressive Muslim.” But if even highly educated, “progressive” Muslim scholars believe that critics of jihad and sharia are asking to be killed, doesn’t this tell us something about Islam?

      “It’s sad to see that the next generation of Islamic Studies scholars are being taught that cartoonists who are murdered for drawing pictures of Muhammad must be blamed for their own deaths. But it’s exactly what we should expect when we realize that Muhammad ordered his followers to murder people who made fun of him. There is a connection between criticizing Islam and being murdered because the prophet of Islam demanded it.”

        Thanks, Good info, Jack
        Director of Duke University’s Islamic Studies Center, Omid Safi appears to be doing a classic cover up.

        “those who fired bullets” is so generic when separated from — who happened by the way to be motivated by Islam.
        Why couldn’t that commenter be equally generic toward anti-jihad?

      • voegelinian says

        May 4, 2015 at 1:54 pm

        Excellent summation by David Wood. Only one nuance is left unaddressed: Omid Safi’s adroit and sly attempt to recast the problem not as a criticism/attack on the Islam of Muslims per se (let alone some “extremist” version thereof), but rather on Muslims as a “marginalized community” (pushing the hot button of Xenophobic Majority attacking a Minority, which implies the hot button of Western mistreatment of non-Westerners — which in turn implies the hot button of White Western Majority attacking an Ethnic Minority. This chain of hot button associations would not be such a big concern for us in the battle space of the war of ideas, were it not so overwhelmingly common throughout the Western mainstream.

        This racializing meme, in fact, in my estimation remains the #1 reason why the West continues to be myopic to the problem of Islam and continues to tend to find ways to defend Muslims no matter what Muslims say or do.

        In a sane world, David Wood’s summation would be entirely sufficient, and Omid Safi’s sly attempt at maneuvering the issue would be seen for what it is; but, alas, the PC MC worldview of the Western mainstream tends to favor an Omid Safi, while it tends to handicap a David Wood.

    Simpson was well known to the FBI. Five years ago he was convicted for lying to federal agents about his plans to travel to Africa, but a judge ruled the government did not adequately prove he was going to join a terror group there.

    But since the FBI is not allowed to link islam with terrorism no one could imagine he’d try to execute a CH-styled massacre in an exhibit featuring drawings of muhammad, (something punishable by death under islamic law). Just a random act of violence that had nothing to do with the exhibit or islam, right?

    Another disgruntled black American convert to the Holy Islam. And why not, two forms of victimism, each as fake as the other. Watching the Baltimore riots, who would guess that trillions of Great Society dollars have been transferred to blacks so they can sit around on their dead asses and have booty time babies for monthly cash, or that the enterprising can benefit from race discrimination Affirmative Action laws in all walks of life?

    But Jim Crow victimhood bests Holy Prophet Mohammed victimhood because at least it has a basis in reality. Yet many blacks are choosing Islam because it lets them fight back for the perceived crimes against them, and even offers a clear shot at the Moslem porno heaven Jannat. What could be more fun that murdering some peckerwoods and then taking a throne to watch over an eternity of Cialis-backed houris?

      No doubt there are, and have been for centuries, various fuqaha (Johnny Carson would have had fun with that word, to add to his mischievous penchant for juicily referencing the “Fugowi” Indian tribe) who have with dead-serious fanatical sobriety deliberated on questions like that:

      “If a mujahid dies in holy battle but fails to kill anyone in the process, will he still receive his 72 houri…?”

    In 20 years Western Europe will be facing a major civil war because of muslim immigration and progressive (socialist) measures that weakened the native’s will to stand their own ground aganist colonization from within… measueres that even outlawed any form of resistance.
    So I ask myself: is the US heading on the same direction? The Democratic Party, the MEDIA, College Professors and brainwashed students, several NGO’s around the coutry… we do have a massive covert operation to protect Islam and make it look cool in the eyes of the youngters nationwide. So, according to the Liberal-progressive-socialist mind, Islam is allright but christianity is EVIL! If you are a devoult christian you are automatically a bigot and a Supremacist?
    Liberals have destroyed every major city they controlled over the past 40 years (Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago, etc. NY at least had Rudy!); when they run the Presidency taxes and regulations (and tons of bureocrats!) become the norm, and business shut or leave the country… wellfare grows 110%…. teen pregnancy increases dramatically, etc. Now what do they want? They want to ‘import’ more and more muslims to colonize what is left of a country that once was so proud and independent?
    Well, the answer is yes… they do! But one thing will hount them for all of eternity: they cannot control muslims like they wish they’d!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    FWIW, Judi McLeod at Canada Free Press online news site minced no words about what happened yesterday.

    “A clear and timely message to Baltimore, Maryland from Garland, Texas last night: police officers, risking their lives to do their jobs, keep civilian society safe.

    Proven countless times and now once again: Civilian lives are safer, thanks to thousands of police forces across America, whose intent is ‘To Serve and Protect’.”

    “Before political bureaucrats at Homeland Security could even get their usual ‘no connection to terrorism’ meme off the ground through the mainstream media, one of the two gunmen was identified as Elton Simpson, who was convicted of lying to federal agents about traveling to Africa five years ago – but a judge ruled it could not be proved that he was going to join a terror group.”

    “It should be no surprise that the Garland attack came shortly after Dutch member of parliament and leader of the Party for Freedom, Geert Wilders, had delivered the event’s keynote speech. There had been calls by the usual members of Congress for him to be stopped at the border so he would not be able to speak.”

  23. Scott says

    May 4, 2015 at 11:41 am

    And here’s the real issue:
    The MSM will “blame the victim”. They will tell us if they didn’t “provoke” this attack, it wouldn’t have happened. Scared Americans and Europeans will try to hide their heads in the sand and turn their anger toward Robert and Pamela. Why? “Because if we’d just do what they want, they’d go away and leave us alone”….(NOT!)

    We in the West don’t realize how easy we have it and since the “Greatest Generation” – in general we haven’t realized how good we have it. Our armed forces who fought in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and other little known places around the world are almost the only exceptions to the above statement.

    People who regularly follow Pamela and Robert are as well…..(exceptions to the above statement).

    As a culture (Western Civilization) is in denial. And folks, Denial is not just a river in Egypt!

    We must spread the word that Freedom isn’t Free. As Ronald Reagan said, “We’re just one generation away from totalitarianism if we don’t keep fighting for liberty” (I paraphrase here).

    The Left and the MSM will be out for AFDI, Pamela and Robert. It’s already started, we must not fall back on the isolationism that led to two horrible World Wars. It seems our leaders just can’t seem to remember what their parents fought and died for.

    My generation (the 1960-70 crowd) had it just too easy. We’ve taught that to our Generation X, Y, “OO’ers”. Now they believe Freedom is Free.
    Wake up American….Freedom is never free.

    Robert was quoted as saying the following: I’m afraid he will be prescient in his words…..

    From the article: Spencer was not optimistic that the right conclusions would be drawn from the attack.

    “The unfortunate and predictable response will be to call for more submission, more surrender, more adherence to Shariah law,” he said.

    I just donated to both Pamela and Robert, I urge you to do so too!

      I neglected to add our brave law enforcement officers to the “exception” category. I was remiss and apologize for the omission.
      Thank You all Law Enforcement and especially yesterday the Garland PD in Garland Texas (with the same to the security officer who was injured – get well soon Sir, we need you back).

    MOST IMPORTANTLY…

    Odumbo is silent about the attack on freedom.

    ODUMBO IS ON THE SIDE OF THE TERRORISTS.

    “Simpson”, is it? Why don’t they give us his Muslim name and the mosque where he was brainwashed?

    If you mocked and insulted a hard core street gang member to his face he might shoot you.

    If you rather gently mock Islam by, say, cartooning you suffer a high risk of an armed attack – proving that Muslimism is much more like a criminal gang than an actual “religion”.

    The apologists are sickening.

    When the price of immigration is that you must have heavily armed guards at any venue that might cause offense to your ‘new immigrants’, then the price of immigration is too high.

    muslims are insulting when someone simply speaks the Truth about muhammad …

    not only is free speech under attack, but so is the Truth.

    Looks like this guy is an American; he probably converted to the religion of jihad while in prison. I just hope the liberal MSM does not condemn the brave people who organized and attended the event while giving them attempted murderers a pass. Do they get 72 virgins if they did not kill anyone?

    This Elton Simpson fellow converted to Islam. Have you noticed how frequently terrorists are Muslim converts?

    I wonder if there is a list of “Muslim Terrorists who were formerly Non-Muslims.”

      But, as strange as it might sound, Islam really has nothing to do with
      Islam, especially as a religion.

      It is a fake religious ideology invented by a fake prophet to justify
      his own criminal activities and help to recruit fellow criminals
      to his marauding bands.

      It especially brands all those who did not join or support him as
      criminals before his fake god and thus a legitimate target for
      murder, torture, rape, robbery, plundering and enslavement.

      How appealing it is to a sociopath and often psychopath
      career criminal to be provided with the bogus justification
      for criminality offered by Islam.

    People converting to Islam and becoming terrorists is a common enough occurrence that there is a wiki page on it.

    http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Converts_to_Islam

    In the introduction to that page, it says:

    Although terrorism is not exclusive to the Islamic ideology, it should be noted that a disproportionate number of terrorists are Muslims who are motivated by the teachings of Islam. Peter Neumann, a Professor of Security Studies at King’s College in London, has noted that Western converts were “overrepresented among jihadists”,[1] and a 2011 study found that 55% of US born Muslims arrested for Islamic terrorist activities were converts to Islam.[2]

    Those who were born into Islam may be ignorant of their religion and its actual teachings, therefore they are Muslims who are most likely to interpret Islam in a peaceful way. However, many converts to Islam are more zealous; learning as much about their new found faith as they can. When they do that, the only conclusion that they can draw is that Islam’s deity endorses terrorism and rewards terrorists.

    If someone is involved in crime and terrorism and they had converted to a certain faith system, it is almost always Islam that the person converted to. The hate for non-Muslims found in Islam is quickly picked up by them. As a result, these converts often turn to the practice or support of terrorism and violence; often showing hatred for their own family, country, and former way of life.

    The reason why hardened criminals convert in prison to Islam is simple.

    Islam is a fake religion invented by a fake prophet in order to justify
    his criminal activities and assist in recruiting fellow criminals to his
    marauding criminal bands.

    The appeal of Islam is irresistible to the criminal because suddenly
    he is provided with pseudo religious justification for murder, torture
    rape, robbery, pillaging and paedophilia.

    Appeasing the Muslims can never help because those who follow
    the criminal injunctions of the Qur’an and Hadith will remain offended
    as long as any non-Muslims or even Muslims of a different sect than
    themselves remain alive on this planet.

    This malady can only treated similarly to the treatment of a
    malignant cancer which usually requires surgical permanent
    removal of significant tumours and further treatment with
    chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

    When a Texas LIO can take on two genuine jihadists armed with assault rifles (and a backseat full of ammo), you have to first give credit to the officer first. Excellent shooting, Sir. You still have to wonder how IS’s “best” cowards can operate away from the herd when dealing with real opponents instead of unarmed women and children. Bait the rest with cartoons and send them on to goat heaven.

    Name the “judge” who refused to read the Qur’an to find out that all muslims are criminals!

    ALL MUSLIMS ARE CRIMINAL TERRORISTS!

    “Terrorism” is really only the simple crime of “extortion” writ large! Extortion is “threats!”

    ALL muslims are criminals, simply by being members of the world’s largest and most ancient yet ongoing crime-gang. Being a member of a crime-gang is a crime, even if the member hasn’t committed any specific crime beyond that of their general membership, because they represent the inherent public threat the crime-gang presents. It’s the Law. Everything muslims pretend to believe is “holy” is already a crime!

    …

    Sure, some dispensations from mandatory participation are given for physical disabilities, like for old age, blindness, lameness etc., but the listing of those exemptions only serves to prove that the word “jihad” means violent and non-defensive warfare. And those exempted from physical participation are still obliged to equip and otherwise assist those who are still physically able to participate in the raids.

    So NO muslim is isolated from the evil of islam’s mandatory “jihad” terrorism.

    Read the Qur’an! It is inseverable: 2.85. Jihad is ordained for Muslims: 2.216. It commands acts of terrorism: 8.12, 57 & 60. It rewards acts of terrorism: 9.120. It commands perpetual war: 8.39 & 9.29. Believers are only those who wage war: 9.111 & 49.15.
