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

Feds warn of Muslims using “simple and easily accessible weapons” to wage jihad

Jun 6, 2015 4:15 pm By Robert Spencer

David WrightNot that they mentioned Muslims or Islam or jihad, of course. They were referring to HVE’s — Homegrown Violent Extremists. Perish the thought that anyone in government or law enforcement actually give an actual hint of the nature or content of the ideology that is fueling this bloodlust. “Feds issue warning after alleged Boston terror plot is foiled,” CBS News, June 5, 2015:

BOSTON – Just three days after police shot and killed an alleged ISIS sympathizer in Boston who was planning attacks on law enforcement, an intelligence bulletin has been sent to agencies across the country urging vigilance against plots involving “simple and easily accessible weapons,” noting that social media has made it easier for extremist groups to recruit followers in the West, including the U.S.

The bulletin, obtained by CBS News, says, “The ability of terrorists overseas to communicate via social media or encrypted methods with HVEs [Homegrown Violent Extremists] in the West allows organizations such as the Islamic State to virtually recruit individuals or groups of individuals to carry out attacks in the West.”

The bulletin notes that most ISIS-inspired attacks in the West, including the most recent alleged plot in Boston, involve “simple and easily accessible weapons such as firearms, vehicles, or knives.”

It says major public events or mass gatherings throughout the summer involving military or law enforcement are “attractive targets for these jihadists.”

Twenty-six-year-old Muslim Usaamah Rahim was fatally shot Tuesday as terror investigators in Boston who had been monitoring him tried to question him.

Surveillance video of the shooting has not yet been released, but Rahim’s family viewed the video Thursday evening at the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office.

Some community leaders who already saw the video say it backs the police account and shows officers retreating as Rahim lunges at them with a military-style knife, then shooting when he refused to drop it.

The FBI said Rahim plotted to commit some kind of attack, and ordered three large knives on Amazon.com a week before he was confronted by the anti-terrorism task force that had him under 24-hour surveillance.

Boston Police said Thursday that Rahim had talked about beheading blogger Pamela Geller before deciding to target police officers.

Geller wasn’t surprised that she may have been a target. She’s a combative personality known for provoking Muslims by campaigning against a mosque near the World Trade Center site in New York, sponsoring inflammatory advertisements and organizing Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest in Texas.

For CBS, standing for the freedom of speech makes you a “combative personality.”

“I’m the number one tarter [sic] for ISIS right now,” Geller told CBS News.

She actually said “target.”

The FBI said police confronted Rahim after he told his nephew, David Wright, in a telephone conversation they were monitoring on Tuesday that he had changed his mind about beheading an out-of-state victim and instead planned to kill local police officers either Tuesday or Wednesday.

“Yeah, I’m going to be on vacation right here in Massachusetts,” Rahim allegedly said. “I’m just going to, ah, go after them, those boys in blue.”

An FBI affidavit supporting a criminal complaint against Wright said “going on vacation” was their code for committing violent jihad….

    HVE’s — Homegrown Violent Extremists. Wow. I wonder how long it took them to come up with that one? Or did Obama just scrawl it on a notepad one day in the middle of a meeting? So many ways to not name the enemy; even more effort to not understand him.

      Homegrown Islamist Violent Extremists

      Take two antihistamines, and call me in the morning.

      Hey FBI were laughing at your dumb asses.
      When are the rank and file going to get as mad as hell and not take it any more?

      “She’s a COMBATIVE PERSONALITY# known for PROVOKING Muslims by campaigning against a [TRIUMPHALIST] mosque near the World Trade Center site in New York, sponsoring INFLAMMATORY* advertisements and organizing Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest in Texas.”

      # I wonder how they describe short-arse mo, or even Baghdadi?
      * I wonder how they described cair’s ads which gave rise to Pamela’s. OOps, they said nothing!
      I wonder how they describe the language of the LIAR IMAM BRO – shot in the back – …?
      I wonder how they describe the language of cair – not in the US to be equal – …?
      I wonder how they describe the language of “The Book Of Hate™”?

      HEY CBS you are out and out dhimmi HYPOCRITES.

    Pamela Geller, known for getting all up in muslims’ faces with her defence of free speech and criticisms of honor killings, hudud punishments and theocratic supremacism; what a racist bigot!

    • mortimer says

      Jun 6, 2015 at 5:34 pm

      CBS would show an understanding of the issue if they said: “Usaamah Rahim’s tweets about beheading Geller and his attack on police prove Pamela Geller’s contention that Islam’s political ideology is extremely dangerous and a risk to freedom of expression.”

      Unfortunately, CBS has reduced the narrative to a cartoon: ‘Brassy, bigoted woman criticizes helpless, innocent minorities’.

      Sharia law’s vigilantism is not innocent, but a timebomb for America.

    CBS assumes Pamela Geller is a bigot for opposing supremacism and . “She’s a combative personality known for provoking Muslims by campaigning against a mosque near the World Trade Center”.

    By using the word ‘provoke’, CBS has suggested resisting Islamic supremacism is wrong.

    Conclusion about CBS: It’s alright to suggest Geller is a bigot by demanding freedom to criticize savages, but there is no condemnation of Muslim Usaamah Rahim who wants to shut down freedom of speech by beheading Geller.

    From the article – “The bulletin notes that most ISIS-inspired attacks in the West, including the most recent alleged plot in Boston, involve “simple and easily accessible weapons such as firearms, vehicles, or knives.””

    I’m not surprised. That’s the method that Muslims – just plain old Muslims, some professedly affiliated with assorted jihad gangs of long standing like Hamas, some not – have been using for Sudden Jihad attacks on Jews in Israel, most notably in the past five or six years (but I’d hazard the guess that Muslim ‘sudden jihad’ knifings of Jews have been going on all along, so constantly that unless someone’s killed it doesn’t register on the front page news). I follow a few Israeli English-language blogs and news outlets and there is a constant steady stream of knife attacks (backstabbing and stabbing at the neck are particularly favoured, with the targets usually being Orthodox Jews) while there have also been a number of attacks using vehicles – whether heavy vehicles or ordinary cars – and as for guns, there was the attack on the Mercaz Harav yeshiva and the attack on a synagogue in Jerusalem, both of which were massacres.

    What the Muslims have been doing in Israel for ages – and that in despite of a level of Israeli vigilance and public and individual preparedness that is waaay ahead of anything anywhere else – they are now preparing to do – or have begun doing – across the Infidel world in every part of it where they have established a large enough colony and operating base/s.

    Until and unless our authorities wake up to it, things are only going to get worse.

      The signs are the FBI and other enforcers are waking up. They are studying the jihad doctrine *somehow*, even though that is against policy. They have realized you can’t stop jihad without studying jihad.

      The next step is for Western governments to find a way to deprogram Muslims. That will have to come to stop jihad. Jihad cannot be removed from Islam, so all of Islam must be debunked.

    Well, I never trusted those eXtreme sports guys…

    I mean, who calls a snowboard or skate trick something like “One-Footed Backflip Rippey plus Truck Driver-style Ollie” or “Jibber Clamato Rodeo to 360° Buttgrab Hispaniola”? Suspicious, very suspicious…

    The bulletin notes that most ISIS-inspired attacks in the West, including the most recent alleged plot in Boston, involve “simple and easily accessible weapons such as firearms, vehicles, or knives.”

    Gee, I wonder if that’s somehow related to something the Al-Baghdadi might have said… sarc./ off

    She’s a combative personality known for provoking Muslims by campaigning against a mosque near the World Trade Center site in New York, sponsoring inflammatory advertisements and organizing Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest in Texas.

    Totally fair and unbiased, right?… sarc./off

    Home grown extremists are probably those pesky Christians and Jews and Mennonites. Who else could they be referring to, since we all know that Islam is peacefull, Hussein Obama tells us so.

    And the REASON for This IS America’s apparently Pro Islam, Pro Muslim Obama Administration, as Obama Admits Trying to Control the Media – Remember – Obama has OPENLY stated to the Media,“Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation”, “Islam has always been part of America” .
