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

Imam, aunt: would-be beheader of Pamela Geller not a terrorist, was ‘murdered’

Jun 6, 2015 5:32 pm By Robert Spencer

It will be hard for them to make this victimhood narrative fly, since people who have seen the surveillance video don’t bear out their story. On the other hand, with a willingly complicit mainstream media (Lisa Wangsness, call your office) and police officials afraid of more “racist police” stories, they might be able to get everything they want.

“Imam, aunt: Rahim not a terrorist, was ‘murdered,’” by Bob McGovern, O’Ryan Johnson, Boston Herald, June 5, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

A Boston imam and the aunt of the 26-year-old Roslindale man killed by police and the FBI on Tuesday say he was not a terrorist and blamed his “murder” on the media, an investigation gone awry and the strained relationship between cops and black men.

“I ask that God overlook the shortcomings in the people who continue to exist that murdered the young man,” said Imam Abdullah Faaruuq of the Mosque for the Praising of the Lord in Roxbury yesterday. “I know that’s probably not what they intended in their hearts. But this is how they’re trained — to shoot at the critical mass, in an open space with cars going by.”

Authorities have said Usaamah Rahim was shot around 7 a.m. Tuesday after being ordered to drop his military-style knife before he responded, “You drop yours.” He was under 24/7 surveillance by the Joint Terrorist Task Force and was considered armed and dangerous, and allegedly plotting to behead police.

Rahim’s supporters, however, said they had no evidence he had been radicalized, according to family spokesman Ronald Sullivan, an attorney and Harvard law professor. Rahim’s aunt said her nephew felt threatened as a black man in America.

“There’s a lot of black people and black men who are angry at the cops right now and putting things out on social media about the cops and maybe you know, just not being happy with the cops,” said his aunt, who gave only her first name, Karen. “When you add the factor of Islam, now everyone in the media wants to add terrorism to it — if it wasn’t for him being Muslim, then we would not be hearing terrorism, we would not be hearing ISIS, and that’s what I want to say.”

Sullivan insinuated that Rahim shouldn’t have been approached by police in the first place without a warrant and said he was looking into whether authorities made an unconstitutional stop.

“If in fact there was an illegal arrest, that is something that has to be dealt with,” he said. “If in fact the conduct of law enforcement constituted the functional equivalent of an arrest, that is a standalone issue that has be dealt with.”

After the press conference, Black Lives Matter Boston posted on its Facebook page: “We, at Black Lives Matter Boston, are sickened to once more have to call out in grief over the violent taking of another community member at the hands of the white supremacist state.”

An FBI affidavit released this week indicated that Rahim was hellbent on “committing violent jihad” and wanted to “go after” the “boys in blue,” in an apparent reference to attacking police officers.

U.S. Rep. William Keating said yesterday Rahim had been on the Joint Terrorism Task Force’s radar since 2012.

Keating said during a private meeting with the FBI on Wednesday he was told social media was among the ways Rahim stayed informed of those who were sympathetic to radical ideologies. Asked if there were others who the FBI believes were linked to this plot, Keating said he was told the investigation is ongoing.

“They’re going to exhaust every avenue,” Keating said. “(The FBI) said it was an active investigation and clearly went on to talk about social media and how he was involved in that. There are going to be things that they cannot discuss because they don’t want to alert others they may be looking at.”

Faaruuq said authorities were “reckless” when they gunned down Rahim and that, if they wanted to, they could have taken him into custody without killing him.

“You can capture tigers and lions and bears, oh my,” he said.

“I think it was reckless that they would be out in the parking lot shooting. I think it was foolish for the young man if he did wield a knife in front of five officers.”

Faaruuq also blamed the media for the violence, not Islam.

“Nothing of the religion teaches that. The media teaches our children. Our homes and our religious organizations no longer influence,” he said. “They are on the Internet and watching the media and watching the ‘Rambo’ movies more than they are influenced by what we teach them.”

Rahim’s family went to Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley’s Office last night to watch a video of the shooting. Sullivan said he and the family “don’t have any further reaction at this point” when asked about the video.

    By making the promise to kill police (because they are police), Usaamah Rahim made a murder threat against every police officer.

    By holding an illegal, deadly weapon in the presence of police, he threatened the police with a weapon.

    By refusing to drop his weapon when asked, Usaamah Rahim resisted arrest.

    By going out on an Islamic-inspired mission of JIHAD, Usaamah Rahim became a terrorist.

    It would be improper for the police not to interdict Usaamah Rahim before he accomplished his murderous intent. Usaamah Rahim chose not to surrender to police. Wrong choice.

      Usaamah Rahim chose not to surrender to police. Wrong choice.

      I dunno why you’d say that. Rat now Usaamah just took his seat on his throne in up in Islam porno heaven Jannat, and his licking his lips as he gazes over his personal pile of 11-yr old peach fuzz houris, and if he swings that way he might eyeing a hidden pearl, too. Might’ve been the right choice.

      The family says that he was not radicalized, which means that they have the same views towards the police and infidels as the dead martyr had. It sickens me that these people have so much hatred towards the police, America, and White people. We should set up a charity to move these people to Somalia, where they would be much happier.

      Mortimer, you don’t understand. By virtue of living in a white man’s world, this idiot believed he was being victimized by Pamela Geller. Think back to the days of Lenin, Marx and the Communist Party. Peace will come only when communism holds sway everywhere. It’s the same with Islam — it doesn’t matter what laws black people violate — they are reacting to the white world they live in and are thus excused. They are justified in their lashing out. Don’t you understand the logic? Fortunately, not all black people buy in to this twisted thinking, but like Muslims who don’t murder their Christian neighbor but don’t speak out either, sensible blacks must organize and confront the militants among them. If they ain’t agin ’em, they’re fer ’em as far as I’m concerned. I can’t tell a peaceful Muslim from a murderous one, so until they figure out how to make me feel safe in my world, I am going to look at all of ’em as a threat to me and mine.

    America’s fifth column has become so bold in recent years with their knowledge that the mainstream media and leftists will cover for them.

    • mortimer says

      Jun 6, 2015 at 6:15 pm

      Agree. Many journalists are allowing the terrorists to act without arousing public indignation. By shielding the terrorists from criticism and publishing their victimology DISINFORMATION, the fifth column is helping to EMBOLDEN the terrorists.

      By trying not to choose sides, journalists give the upper hand to the terrorists’ DISINFORMATION and the American public remains asleep to the danger of jihad around them.

        Jun 6, 2015 at 8:21 pm

        To mortimer- I’m a big fan of yours and truly enjoy reading your posts. I learn something every time you write, even if you write only a line or two. But I request clarification when you wrote in your 6:15 pm post “By trying not to choose sides, journalists give the upper hand to the terrorists disinformation…” I thought journalists were never to choose sides, that they were supposed to only report the truth and do so in a manner as if taking the Oath of Hippocrates for journalism, so to speak. So please clue me in. Thank you.

        • mortimer says

          Jun 6, 2015 at 8:56 pm

          Linde,
          You raise a valid point. My concern is that journalists are failing to defend the freedom of expression upon which journalism depends. Their neutrality is merely ‘apparent neutrality’, rather than real ‘balanced’ journalism.

          My point is that journalists are not challenging…or more likely…they are completely unable to challenge the veracity of statements from the jihadists and purveyors of Islamic disinformation or verbal jihad. The result is Muslim apologists easily insert disinformation. However, there is little attempt to contact counterjihadists for comment. Counterjihad explanations are not vaguely understood and therefore don’t even get into many articles, if counterjihadists are even contacted by those journalists!

          As well, some journalists are biased against counterjihad. Their bias may be inserted by what is LEFT OUT of an article as well as by what is put into it. Why for instance do journalists not ask Robert Spencer to comment on the statements of the mullahs and the jihadists? He is superbly prepared to do so? I believe they don’t want the facts.

          They insert bias by failing to interview the critics of jihad.

          In other words, you are right, they are actually not being neutral, but giving the advantage to the jihadists by not cross-examining them.

          Most journalists and their editors know so little about Islam that they would be unable to cross-examine a jihadist. The journalists don’t even know the ABC of jihad.

          To be fair to journalists, they have time limits for preparing stories and news editors probably have a bias against counterjihad and are virtually UNACQUAINTED with Islam. The non-existent knowledge of Islam among news editors is shocking. News agencies need to remedy that, but they probably won’t.

        • Linde Barrera says

          Jun 6, 2015 at 11:40 pm

          To mortimer- Got it! Thank you for your explanations about journalists. I think you are correct in stating that most editors and journalists are ignorant of the core doctrines of Islam, and for most people in the broadcast business, it is just a re-hash of the same old, same old. And I also believe that if any majority stockholder of a tv, radio or newspaper is Muslim, then that person calls the shots on what specific news is fit to be spoken and shown. Take care mortimer.

          Jun 7, 2015 at 2:44 pm

          Good point, Mortimer—most journalists uncritically report any whitewash of Islam, either because they understand nothing about that foul creed and will not know to challenge any Taqiyya artist, or—even worse—are themselves wedded to the “politically correct” idea that Islam is a “religion of peace”, all evidence to the contrary.

        “By trying not to choose sides, journalists give the upper hand to the terrorists’ DISINFORMATION and the American public remains asleep to the danger of jihad around them.”

        But then again, that was the plan all along. Look at the hate they have heaped in Pamela Geller’s direction – for standing for freedom of speech.

        • mortimer says

          Jun 6, 2015 at 9:08 pm

          Journalists depict Pamela Geller is a mere bigot, rather than a well-informed critic and they apparently assume that Muslims are victims of bigotry, rather than conspirators who want to replace free democracies with theocratic, fascism.

          Journalists generally have no knowledge of Sharia law’s vigilantism and censorship. Those are the most dangerous aspects of Islam.

          Jun 6, 2015 at 11:27 pm

          In response to both comments (mortimer and EYESOPEN )I think journalism has become very formulaic. You need a bad guy, a good guy and a problem. Bad guys these days must be white-ish, good guys must be mocha-ish, and bigotry makes for a good problem. If the facts don’t fit the formula, then TOUGH. This is theatre. If you tell a good story, people will listen. Forget the truth, it’s boring.

          So, I’m not sure the biggest problem is being uninformed or attempting to appear unbiased, although they both certainly seem to play a part.

    “I ask that God overlook the shortcomings in the people who continue to exist that murdered the young man,” said Imam Abdullah Faaruuq.

    Abdullah Faaruuq has suggested the intervening police officers should not ‘continue to exist’. He has apparently solicited the murder of the police officers. Jihadists will hear his message loud and clear. Americans will be able to hear his message too, if they are wise.

    Hopefully, the journalists at the Boston Globe will hear the mullah’s not-too-subtle call to murder police. It’s their job to see and hear. It’s despicable for the mullah to say it and despicable for journalists not to report it.

      Excellent catch Mortimer. I’m sure your observation has gone about ten feet over the heads of the “Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil – when it comes to izlam” press.

    • gravenimage says

      Jun 7, 2015 at 2:51 pm

      Very true—this Imam is not-so-subtly calling for these officers’ murders, and doing it in the guise of supposedly calling for forgiveness. Very slick—but utterly evil.

      Also notice his absurd claim that police needed *a warrant* to approach an individual threateningly brandishing a knife. What insanity.

    Jun 6, 2015 at 6:25 pm

    I’m not one to say I told you so, but I told you so. Yesterday I predicted that they would gin up Usaamah’s demise as a victim of police brutality murder, and will move a month or two down the road with a civil suit seeking damages from the FBI and the local police department. Big fat Usaamah was killed because of Islamophobic white racism by the cops, no doubt about it. Shades of Stanford FL, Ferguson MO and Baltimore MD, but squirted down with Black Flag roach spray to give it some sheen, a patina.

    Think about it: number one, these geeks probably actually believe this, the self-serving psychology of victimism runs so deep in this country these days, and number two, what can the Moslems do, admit to the public that it was a Jihad murder attack? This failed operation must be spun one way or another, but cannot be left with the Infidel public to reflect poorly on Allah and the Holy Prophet Mohammed . And making a couple of million dollars on the side wouldn’t hurt, either.

    Ah, yet again, the contention that a young barbarian was a victim. It truly has come to a civilization v. anti-civilization matter. Aligned with the latter are mucho amounts of Muslims and loads of black Americans who simply refuse to address the reality that the MAIN reason why so many black Americans continue to regress is due, first and foremost, to the many social pathologies that exist in black American communities, like 70% out of wedlock birth, a mindless antipathy towards the police, a refusal to acknowledge that that the VAST majority of young black men are killed by other young black men, and a victim-oriented mentality, which Islam is superb at hyping and this helps explain why so many black Americans look to Islam as a positive, never mind that Islam’s record respecting black African slavery is far, far worse than that of the Judeo-Christian world.

    Oh yeah, the nonsense continues. And the Western elites in academia, the media and in the political realm adamantly refuse to reverse their willful ignorance. Not lookin’ good.

      A bit of overreach with (MAIN reason) and (first and foremost )
      You are a too good of a commenter to drift into such a simplistic over generalization about black Americans. While there may be some truth to some very good points, the use of (MAIN reason) as to why so many black Americans continue to regress is due, first and foremost … (and so on) sounds like a back country lawyer appealing to baser instincts.

      • Wellington says

        Jun 7, 2015 at 12:29 am

        If, Jay Boo, there is any other factor that is more important in keeping a good portion of black America downtrodden than the social pathologies that exist plentifully in modern black America (e.g., massive out-of-wedlock birth) I would like to know that that factor is. I wish black America well, and it would benefit all Americans if a good portion of black America wasn’t so dysfunctional precisely due to numerous social pathologies that black America en masse continues to refuse to address. Some chief culprits in this refusal are race hustlers like Sharpton and, yes, Obama, as well as the Black Congressional Caucus which is a national disgrace.

        Jun 7, 2015 at 9:15 am

        I agree with your analysis, Wellington.

        I would only add, an additional factor that perpetuates this ‘victimhood mentality’ ( apart from the professional race hustlers you mention), is the determination of the msm and the left to buy into it, and give this nonsense a voice and a platform.

        Plus, government handouts, affirmative action, etc, not only fuel the ‘victim’ mentality, but create a culture of unearned entitlement, which again, is promoted by the msm and the left.

        Of course, this isn’t just a black state of mind; in the UK we have an entire underclass of white people who have lived for generations on state handouts, and are quite convinced they are **entitled** to it, and who perceive the police and the rest of productive society as the ‘enemy’, and they are ‘victims’.

      White liberalism as conceived in the Great Society has been an outright disaster for blacks. I won’t go down the list of disastrous effects socialism has had on them, we all know them, and anybody can drive through any inner city to see for himself. Any group would accept free money, so the blacks aren’t to be blamed for laziness. If the gubmint wants to give me free money, I’ll quit my job tomorrow. Nor are blacks to be accused of being stupid, but look at black test scores and now even declining IQ scores and the jaw drops, hell, look even at the kind of weak ass punk college degrees most of successful” blacks get.

      White liberalism has turned black Americans into hyper-racist layabouts with educations of truants. Yes, that’s a sweeping generalization, but it’s true, and it didn’t have to be that way.

      White liberals also are racist, built into everything they do is the implication that blacks are stupid, lazy, inferior. Otherwise, why would they oppose charter schools in black districts or favor bringing in 40 million native Americans from Mexico and Central America to do the work? Socialism for and racism against blacks is a good deal for everybody, especially the overpaid teachers who vote for and donate to white liberals.

      This is a keystone of the G.S.E.R.S. body of thought, called Geezers, a tired old failed ideology of Globo-Socialist Environmentalist Racist Sexists, with each component built solidly atop fake facts full of implied threats (like race riots and lawsuits), and always delivering disastrous results decade after decade, not just around blacks but all over society.

      The Geezer is tired and tiresome, but unassailable in the public discourse. And of course the Geezer is in play around the Moslems thing, paving the way for eventual Sharia here with every one of their pious acts to import them and assist them.

        To Alarmed Pig Farmer- I really enjoy your posts and I think what you write is on target and truthful. But when you say “overpaid teachers” I feel I need to give you some information of which you may not be aware. (DON’T MEAN TO BORE YOU.) I taught in the NYC elementary public schools for 19 years. When I was a “cluster” I had a roster of students from kindergarten thru fifth grade, never having less than 485 students a week, and some years having 535 students a week, depending on class size. I had to call homes on my own time, and sometimes got called into the principal ‘ s office to explain in front of the parent, why I politely called the student in question “lazy” or “disruptive” or “constantly fighting”. So the parent complained about me even though I was trying to alert him/her of their child’s behavior that was impeding child’s learning. I had to in addition to teaching the lessons in class, make sure every child was safe, write up lesson plans, make up at least 1 test for 3rd -5th grades each semester and give grades, put up a bulletin board every other month, all on my own time. When I had my own self contained kindergarten or 2nd grade class, it seemed like I was constantly assessing them, in addition to doing all the other tasks above. I rarely left my classroom before 5 pm on most days. Finally, to keep this job I had to have a master’s degree (cost me $30,000 in school loans) and in my first year I earned $32,640 and in my last year I earned $88,000. While I miss my students, I think teaching is basically a thankless job. The end! (HOPE I DIDN’T BORE YOU.)

By the way, your name sake, the actress Helen Mirren, is on Broadway these days, playing Queen Elizabeth, and she even looks like the Queen! I want to see her act. Also, I saw Brits Off Broadway star Simon Callow in the play “Tuesdays at Tesco’s”. It was basically sad but well acted.

          I wanted Mungo, the patron saint of Glasgow, where *I* was born, but it was taken.

          I’m glad your family member had a good time in the UK – apart from all this islam/mohammedan crap, and despite my putrescent government, it’s still a good place.

    “Nothing of the religion teaches that. The media teaches our children. Our homes and our religious organizations no longer influence,” he said. “They are on the Internet and watching the media and watching the ‘Rambo’ movies more than they are influenced by what we teach them.”

    Bingo. It’s the media. The media not only celebrates senseless violence, it features an unfortunate streak of Islamophobia, like when Bill O’Reilly and Laura Ingraham threw Geller under the bus a couple of weeks ago as stupid and meaningless, which as news entertainers they did in the name of the First Amendment.

    It’s all making sense to me now.

    A Boston imam and the aunt of the 26-year-old Roslindale man killed by police and the FBI on Tuesday say he was not a terrorist and blamed his “murder” on the media, an investigation gone awry and the strained relationship between cops and black men.

    Was anyone expecting any other reaction?

    Faaruuq said authorities were “reckless” when they gunned down Rahim and that, if they wanted to, they could have taken him into custody without killing him.

    “You can capture tigers and lions and bears, oh my,” he said.

    Can you imagine the outrage if a police spokesperson somehow compared an African-American muslim to a dog, or any other animal? We’d never hear the end of it, of how racist the police was, of how they dehumanized blacks/muslims, etc. But to answer him: police officers are trained to handle people, not capture tigers or lions. They approached him. He pulled a knife. He was told to stop. He lunged at them. If he hadn’t behaved like a rabid dog he wouldn’t have been shot like one. Faaruuq wasn’t there, he doesn’t know what means the police had at their disposal, so on what grounds does he asserts things might have ended differently?

    • RonaldB says

      Jun 6, 2015 at 7:54 pm

      “…on what grounds does he asserts things might have ended differently?”

      The imam actually asserted two things:

      1) Rahim was not a terrorist. This is if you go by sharia law…and what Muslim resident of the US does not go by sharia law by now. Under sharia law, a Muslim commits terrorism only by killing another Muslim unlawfully. Killing kafirs doesn’t count as terrorism. This is the definition of terrorism used by the OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation).

      2. Rahim was murdered. As he attacked police with a hunting knife, I’m not sure if his killing would count as a murder, even under sharia law. It takes a Harvard law professor to be stupid enough to assert that this was a murder. Probably the iman spoke to his legal adviser before making the charge.

      As for the “lions and tigers and bears, oh my!!!!” Did anyone recognize that as the line from Dorothy and her companions in “The Wizard of Oz?” The imam was just engaging in a bit of street patois which, if it had any purpose at all, was to serve as a not-so-subtle reminder to the US Attorney General of his habit of bringing a federal investigation for every case a white cop shoots a black suspect, whatever the circumstances.

      Super-brains like him will be our masters once sharia is implemented formally.

        Jun 7, 2015 at 10:56 am

        Rahim was not a terrorist. This is if you go by sharia law…

        Absolutely correct. I was offended by the unfair criticism leveled at OBL and KSM for mass murdering three thousand Infidels on 9/11. What they did was the right thing to do and fully justified by the Holy Ko-Ran, the Sunnah and the Sira. I was offended even more when that dumbass RINO Prez Dubya had the nerve to appear on national TV and imply that OBL, KSM, their comrades were criminals by saying that Islam is a religion of peace.

        Now, it may finally come out that several Saudi princes funded 9/11, if the 28 pages redacted from the report on the operation are finally released to the public, we’ll have a more complete history of who did what on the mass murder. Apparently this info has been kept secret apparently to safeguard national security.

        What are we gonna do when we finally get proof that Prince Al-Waleed funded the deal, condemn Harvard University for accepting tens of millions from the guy? That would be sad, cuz mass murder and, more importantly, the widespread threat of it, is not a bad thing according to one of the world’s great religions one of the three Abrahamic faiths blah blah blaaah.

        Transaction analysis: I’m OK, and you the Moslem mass murderer are OK.

      Just try making them leave! We have to find new ways to keep them from entering.

      Families will have to be given money bribes to get them to return to their countries of origin.

    Just once, JUST ONCE, I’d like to hear:

    “We, the family of (jihadi name here) are ashamed of our (son, nephew, husband name here) who has brought great dishonor upon our family name. We are peaceful people. Our (relative name here) was not brought up to inflict violence upon any human being, especially one as innocent of any crime as (victim name here). We treasure and value the blessings we have enjoyed by having the privilege of living here in (western country with civilized legislation here), and despite our grief are grateful that he was unable to inflict any further damage to any citizen of this great and freedom loving country. We offer our deepest regrets for having raised such an ungrateful and irrational (relationship here) and vow to spend the rest of our days speaking out against the dangers of radical Islam.”

    Mendacious taqiyya-artist Imam Faaruuq blamed the media for the violence, not Islam. “Nothing of the religion teaches that (beheading kafirs)…our children…are watching the ‘Rambo’ movies more than they are influenced by what we teach them.”

    Nothing…except for this…Koran 8:12 “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike [them] upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip.” But don’t say that’s terrorism…it isn’t terrorism when Muslims do it.

    Islam’s interpreters interpret the verse thus: (Allah will cast fear, disgrace and humiliation over those who defied his command and denied Muhammad—ibn Kathir); smite the unbelievers at their necks (i.e., behead the unbelievers—ibn Kathir) and cut off their fingers (cut off their heads, limbs, hands and feet—ibn Kathir. Terror means fear of Muhammad and his companions—ibn Abbas

    Correction, mister mullah, the ‘children’ of Muslims are now watching BEHEADING VIDEOS, rather than ‘Rambo’ movies.

    The police who “continue to exist”? That’s a call to violence.

    And “Rambo” movies? Way to strike while the iron is hot on cultural references there, you snake-oil salesman.

    Well too bad! Depending on situation even the wild animals sometimes get shot as the last resort in protecting and saving others. But also animals don”t have weapons on them and their reactions can be predicted as animals only attack to feed, to protect their young ones or in fear when provoked. It insults everyone intelligence to take a stand and talk about the savage who was about to intentionally and viciously kill someone. Did all these people loose their mind???? I mean, look at them behind the microphone asking for justice??? WTF?!?!?!?!

    “Illegal arrest”…the new phrase that seems to be working for the woman in Baltimore in the prosecution of the six police officers.
    This was no “illegal arrest” as it wasn’t even an “arrest.’ They were approaching to talk to him. If they had said, “You are under arrest,” then he would have been under arrest. They said to *drop the weapon*…the long knife with which he was threatening them.
    A person can be taken into custody without being put under arrest, but this guy knew he had been found out and his goal of cutting off the heads of the *boys in blue* seemed in sight. He took the chance of attaining his goal and was shot for continuing to approach with the weapon.
    There was no *illegal arrest.* There was no arrest at all. He was killed instead because he refused to respond to the command of the officers…a legal command…whether or not they carried an arrest
    warrant.

    As for the claim that he had not been *radicalized*…he was a devout muslim…that’s the real definition of *radical*…although all of the *surviving spokespeople, relatives, imams*…all deny it as they deny the entire objective of islam.

    The Imam in the video above knows that he is lying to himself and his non-Muslim audience. Islamic theology clears the human conscious of all crimes. believe everything mohammad said and did

    Listening to these F#cking muslimes blame everyone except themselves, in this case the police and the media is like listening to a stuck record. I don’t think muslims are capable of any original thought.

    “Faaruuq said authorities were ‘reckless’ when they gunned down Rahim and that, if they wanted to, they could have taken him into custody without killing him.”

    Professor Marvel never guesses, he knows!

    “‘You can capture tigers and lions and bears, oh my,’ he said.”

    I don’t know, but some people without brains do an awful lot of talking, don’t they?

    “Faaruuq also blamed the media for the violence, not Islam.”

    Now I…I know we’re not in Kansas!

    “‘Nothing of the religion teaches that. The media teaches our children. Our homes and our religious organizations no longer influence,’ he said. ‘They are on the Internet and watching the media and watching the ‘Rambo’ movies more than they are influenced by what we teach them.'”

    It’s never Islam’s fault, is it? Of course not! Only blessings come from the only acceptable religion. Are you ready now, Faaruuq? Then close your eyes, and tap your heels together three times…, and think to yourself, “there’s no place like Raqqa, there’s no place like Raqqa…”

    Sister Hatune Dogan
    “I met an Iraqi girl, five-and-a-half-years maybe, and they kidnapped her. I met her at seven-and-a-half-years. Until today, she [will not] say, no one knows, what happened to her, because she was misused. They [were] paid $30,000 dollars to release her. They released her, but under that condition. I am sorry for her. That was the youngest girl that I met. She was misused.”

    Sister Hatune also told of meeting a 21-year-old Christian girl from Jordan. Once a captive, her abductors “every day” “were raping her all night.” When they weren’t satisfied with her ransom money, they “cut her face in different ways.” Another time, Sister Hatune met 280 girls. She described how they were “misused” by their kidnappers, some of whom “cut breasts and other [sensitive areas].” “I saw them with my own eyes,” she emphasized. Those are the stories the media should report – the “human face of this tragic reality,” as Mother Olga described. Mother Olga compared the news coverage of Christian persecution to the coverage of NFL player Ray Rice’s abuse scandal. “I know he’s probably a famous player, and this [football] team, it’s a big, big issue in America, but this is a personal life of two people.” While, at the same time, she continued, “200,000 people are displaced” and “people are dying from hunger” in the Middle East.

    That these people do not see the irony involved that Pamela Geller is warning us about radical islam and using words and advertisements and conferences to do so , but yet SHE is targeted as a vile bigoted racist Islamophobe whilst those with intent and means and effort and with the backing of their hateful sharia compliance- demanding ideology to kill and maim are regarded as the heroes.
    Is American society not free , is freedom of expression now verboten?
    Do these islamic sharia imposing fools not see that other religions do not react to being offended by committing violence?
    Islam is as Daniel Greenfield said the TEFLON RELIGION. It is so protected that it has been given the green light to take over by sheer weight of numbers. Nothing is going to stop that and the west’s pc ways are the catalyst helping move the vile Sharia agenda along.

    Imam, aunt: would-be beheader of Pamela Geller not a terrorist, was ‘murdered’
    ……………………………….

    Yeah, this Imam—really, the Jihadist’s brother—has already falsely claimed that Rahim was “shot in the back” (a claim clearly disproven by watching the tape) and that his last words were “I can’t breathe”.

    Never mind that this phrase is now used as an antipolice taunt, and can actually be found on t-shirts. Perhaps just a bit too convenient…

    Clearly, these cynical creeps are trying to tap into the whole black/antipolice thing, and pretend that Rahim was not plotting violent Jihad.

    Just another attempt to pretend that plotting violence actually somehow makes them a victim.

    In today’s insane climate, they might just be successful—with a certain type of useful idiot, at least. After all, what’s the big deal about beheading some of the “boys in blue” or an uppity Jewish woman? Aren’t they just “colonialists”? sarc/off

    “Rahim’s aunt said her nephew felt threatened as a black man in America.”

    And he thought his knife would save him from gun-toting Cops? He is either a fool and delusional or he intended to harm someone who he thought wouldn’t carry a gun. In a confrontation like this his knife no match for a handgun!

    Comparing his death to killing wild dogs, elephants, etc… is unfair. The latter don’t plan on killing humans unnecessarily. Hopefully, his mom will reminisce on her son’s life and wonder where she went wrong. In the meantime, don’t waste money on expensive investigations.

  24. Hummer says

    Jun 7, 2015 at 6:09 pm

    Geller is absolutely right-we are at war. It’s time Americans get their heads out of the sand and realize that fact and make our government respond appropriately not like the complicit MSM as appeasers and weaklings which to date proves that they are.

    “It will be hard for them to make this victimhood narrative fly…”

    Here is a really good, textbook example of the whiny-monster victimhood narrative, a must watch:
