His motive is unclear, says Heavy, but in light of the Islamic State tweet that went out at the time the shooting began, and the Islamic State calls to Muslims in the West to target military personnel, it seems clear enough.
“Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know,” by Tom Cleary, Heavy, July 16, 2015:
Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez has been identified by CBS News as the gunman who fatally shot four Marines and wounded a police officer on Thursday in shootings at two military recruiting and training centers in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
At least two others were injured, including one in critical condition. The officer is in stable condition.
The shootings happened at separate military reserve centers on Lee Highway and Amnicola Highway.
Not much is known so far about Abdulazeez.
Here’s what you need to know:
1. A Witness Said the Gunman Fired From a Mustang Outside a Recruiting Center in a Shopping Mall
Chattanooga shootingA woman who worked at a restaurant next to the recruiting office on Lee Highway told CNN she saw the shooting.
“I looked out of our window and I seen the guy in his car, a silver Mustang, drop top, a white guy and he had a high-powered rifle and was just firing shots into the Air Force, Navy and Marines office,” Gina Mule told CNN. “I don’t even know how many shots he fired, but it was a lot. … After he got done opening fire, he pulled out really quick.”
2. He Also Opened Fire at a Military Facility About 8 Miles Away
Chattanooga shootingThe two military facilities are about eight miles apart. Police say the shooter went to the Amnicola Highway location after opening fire on Lee Highway.
Police shut down the area around the second facility.
3. The Gunman Is From ArizonaAuthorities said the gunman lives in the Chattanooga area, but CBS News reports that he is from Phoenix, Arizona.
Phoenix — like the Garland jihadis. How interesting.
4. His Motive Is Not Yet Known
Police have not yet released a motive for why the gunman targeted the two military facilities and military personnel….
Yes, it’s a total mystery.

Have studied Islam and the Quran for several years now, have been inside Mosques and spoken to their Inmans. Let there be no mistake about it. Islam, from its beginning, has been a religion of the sword. The concept of Holy War (Jihad) mandated by Allah, requires all of Islam to completely subdue the earth through military and violent conquest. The Quran says it all. When will America wake up? One sad sick religion. They place a premium on death versus life. They will never grasp the concept of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness on earth. Women are treated as a sub class under Islam with no rights at all. They will never adapt to our customs and culture but rather want to force Islam and Sharia upon the World.. And if they can take a Jew, Christian or infidel to their death along with them, they view it as an honor. Like it or not, politcally correct or not, we are at War with Islam. And until America recognizes that fact, more tragic deaths will result. Sharia law will continue to expand. . Mosques are hiding places for terrorists and we have 3400 plus in America. Read the truth here about Islam and the Quran and Sharia. Get a copy of “heretic” by Ayaan Hirsi Ali.Former Muslim that speaks from experience.. Violence is inherit in Islam. it is not a religion of peace. When they are praying they are praying for death to Jews Christians and infidels and most people are clueless. The threat is real folks. Read the book now and get the real truth. Also google “theprojectmuslimbrotherhood” and see their plan to destroy America from within. Again read the book “Heretic” a must read for all America.

I don’t think we are gonna wake up Ray. We have been told over and over that these attacks have nothing to do with islam. So it must be true. Just because his name is Muhamad doesn;t mean anything. Sarc/off. On Fox news last week Brad Thor was the guest for the show Outnumbered. He said that if muhamad came back today he would point out isis as being the purest form of islam, he was cut off very quickly from anymore comments that mentioned islam in a bad way. A few weeks ago Billy Grahams son was on fox. He said that the koran was full of hate and death towards the infidels and jews…he was also cut off from the discussion very quickly.. When the mainstream media cannot tell the truth or cannot report the stories that we see here on this site everyday, than how can we possibly wake up….the media for whatever reason is why we are sooooo slow in waking up.

AHA, Ibn Ishaq, Lammens, Hurgronje, our host Spencer, Pryce-Jones, Pipes, Falacci, etc., etc., etc.
Immediate online access to the Koran (numerous editions in translation); the ahadith; and the sunnah.
$20 buys the Umdat al-Salik from Amazon- overnight delivery.
And yet, despite all the above, there is near-nil public discussion by Western “leaders” as to the fundamental, underlying existential threat facing Judaeo-Christian-secular civilization… I reckon V.S. Naipul got it correct; we in the West have lost our capability of comprehending pure belief. And that is exactly what is facing us, sword in hand and Koran in t’other…

Ray you are spot on. Good post. Thank you.

Because the MSM considers this a non-event. Islam is involved so they want to keep this as quiet as possible. Nothing to worry about, just go about your business.

Jim Rogosheske says
The information I feel we, ALL AMERICANS, need today , about the ‘system of islam’ is available thru an excellent, learned author,
Dr. Jim Murk!
Dr. Jim Murk is a good friend of mine — I have read all 4 of his books ; the titles of the
books are: (Some ?? are still available on Amazon)
“Islam Rising . . .The Never Ending Jihad Against Christianity” Book I
“Islam Rising . . . The Never Ending Jihad Against the Jews and Israel” Book 2
“Islam Rising . . .The Never Ending Jihad Against America and the West ” Book 3
“The Coming Great Global Earthquake . . . Islam in Bibical Prophecy” the “antichrist coming as a moslem”, etc., etc. Book 4
(Book 4 is RIGHT ON TARGET with the ‘End of Time” , ‘The Last Days’, ‘The 2nd Coming’, etc.)
Dr. Jim Murk has 3 masters degrees (including middle east history, etc.) and a doctorate in theology! ( He makes himself available to
speak/present his backgnd on islam to church groups, government groups, etc.)
His email address is: murkfam@citizens-tel.net; feel most comfortable in making contact with him at anytime!!! His direct home phone
number is: 715-967-4091
Dr. Murk is a very humble guy, age 85 now, lost his wife Donna , strokes, etc. on Valentines day last yr, and lives
North of Chippewa Falls,WI There is much he wrote in his Book 4 on Islam also. He’s read the koran about a dozen times,
frontwards and backwards, and in 4 places it states . . .’kill all Christians and Jews’ . . . .the ‘system’ of islam is CLEARLY
A SYSTEM OF THE ‘BEAST’ –satan!!!! The ‘beast’ is, of course, NOT ‘dumb’ and can take advantage of
BILLIONS of the huminoids on this earth VERY EASILY what with the low intelligence in the vast
majority of the population, especially the moslems, now estim. at 1. 48 billion , in 57 countries on our planet earth!!!
The continued level of ignorant, pathetic ‘tolerance’ in our AMERICA, still the land of the free, is INCREDIBLE,
including Christian churches, and with lots and lots of just ‘regular’ folks. I know this CLEARLY from my visits ‘out and
about’, etc. WE HAVE GOT TO GET SMARTER AND MORE EDUCATED ON THIS. THE MOSLEMS ARE EVIL
AND ISLAM IS AN EVIL SYSTEM RIGHT TO THE CORE!!!!!
THEREFORE . . . . I’m an advocate for NO DIFFERENTIATION between ‘radical islam’ and islam . . .it’s of course
all totally evil and must be fought and defeated on all fronts! Just the other day, my wife and I were shopping in our
Rosedale Mall and randomly came across 3, yes 3 female somalians in burqas, etc. all with their kids and ALL had
one side of their faces swollen and badly bruised — the ol’ sharia law being practiced by their husbands, etc. Of course, the
charges against the husband would be ‘domestic assault’, etc. — or worse , but . . . .Oh well, it won’t be long before we’ll
be like Europe! OUR LORD PLEASE HELP US !!!
So there you have it for now!

DID THE MUSTANG HAVE A CONFEDERATE FLAG ON IT?
If not, ignore. Islam has nothing to do with terrorism, right?

I wonder what spin the FBI/Obama is going to put on this jihad, given that the perpetrator was born in Kuwait, and the Obama has proscribed the FBI from associating Islam with “terrorism.” At the present time, he simply is identifying the guy as a “lone gunman.”
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
The murderer’s name is Muhammad. I just heard his landlord is a guy named Youssef. Could this be related to the Islam? Or maybe it is related to the perversion of Islam that ex-Prez Dubya, Prez Barack Hussein, Secretary War Coward, and next-Prez Hillary are always talking about.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Great news: CAIR condemns murder of the four U.S. Marines!
Shep Smith over to the Fox RINO just announced that CAIR has condemned the Moslem activist murder and stand shoulder-to-shoulder with us in the fight against terror. The civil rights organization made no mention of the fact that Allah said I shall terrorize the Infidels or that the Holy Prophet said I have been made victorious by terror, but maybe they did mention that but Shep was forced to edit that part out for brevity and clarity.
In related news, Prez Barack Hussein is on TV (he’s always on TV flapping that non-stop tongue of his) and he just said the murder of the four Marines is “heartbreaking.” Which raises a question: he has a heart?

Mohammad? Hmmmmm. I wonder if he’s a Buddhist.

Brian says
How did this Muslim get into America with all of our security? LOL
Sam says
The way I see it is an isolated instance which has nothing to do with Islam. So lets go out and hug moslem brothers not sisters ofcourse and protect them from racist haters. Problem solved.
What do you think?

you come to US and enjoy all it has to offer and call your killing justified in the holy name of the most merciful Muhammad. You are the infidel. Muhammad is the Messenger of God, which is peace.
