Former FBI assistant director on Mohammad Abdulazeez: “We don’t know that it’s a Muslim name”

Jul 17, 2015 10:43 am By Robert Spencer

This is the quality of analysis that we have at the highest levels of the FBI and other agencies. No wonder we are in the fix we’re in.

“CNN Analyst Unsure If Mass Shooter Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez’s Name is Muslim,” by Matthew Balan, Newsbusters, July 16, 2015:

On Thursday’s The Lead, CNN analyst Tom Fuentes was unwilling to conclude that the perpetrator of a mass shooting against servicemen in Chattanooga, Tennessee was Muslim. John Berman asked the former FBI assistant director, “Now that we have the name [Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez], the key questions are what?” Fuentes replied, “I know…what the name sounds like, but we don’t know that it’s a Muslim name. We know it’s an Arabic name. We don’t know what this individual was believing in, and that’s what they’re going to be trying to determine.” [video below]

Minutes earlier, Berman brought on Juliette Kayyem, a former assistant secretary of homeland security, and made a much more conclusive statement: “I got to state the obvious here…this is a Muslim name, Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez.” Kayyem, who is of Lebanese Christian descent, confirmed that this was the case, and provided some background:

JOHN BERMAN: I want to bring in our security analysts: Juliette Kayyem, a homeland security analyst; former Massachusetts homeland security advisor; and federal homeland security advisor – Harry Houck, former cop, security advisor to us as well – CNN analyst. I got to state the obvious here: this is a name – this is a Muslim name, Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez-

JULIETTE KAYYEM, FORMER ASST. SECY., DEPT. OF HOMELAND SECURITY: Yes–

BERMAN: Does that change the nature of this investigation?

KAYYEM: Well, change – we just don’t know where it began, so ‘change’ is a strong word. It does, obviously, make people concerned – both about other domestic ties – are there others that he was affiliated with? And then, of course international ones….

    Change? Does the fact that the D.H.S. lies to Americans about something they can see for themselves must surely make them FUMING MAD at the D.H.S.

    The D.H.S. should ‘change’ itself by hiring people who know some Arabic and are FULLY acquainted with the standard JIHAD DOCTRINE of orthodox Islam.

        And the Arabic-speaking Assyrian Christians from Syria and Iraq. They could be given jobs, too. They’d be only too happy to help guard against the Muslim Mobsters who have been abusing and robbing them and raping their wives and daughters and stealing and enslaving their kids.

    *********** Let me remind readers and commenters here about David Wood’s excellent video “The Jihad Triangle” at www (dot) answeringmuslims (dot) com. ************

    In around five minutes, he FACTUALLY & BRILLIANTLY shreds the Enemedia’s constant question : “Well, gee whiz, if Islam is violent, why are so many Muslims peaceful ?”

    Now, after the Chattanooga massacre, our clueless elected officials might actually be searching for truth to understand why they read this sentence more and more as weeks unfold : “He was such a quiet normal young person . . .must have been radicalized on the internet.”

    Send a link to David Wood’s “Jihad Triangle” video to your home state’s top legislators, please . . . Tell them to view it when they are NOT distracted by pressing events like how to raise enough $$$ for the next campaign.

      Islam is RADIOACTIVE.

      The VAST mass of molecules (headbangers)
      is quasi-stable for hundreds of years.
      A microscopic quantity, say one in a million per year,
      spontaneously fissions (Sudden Jihad Syndrome)
      emitting destructive energy.

      The larger the mass, the greater the fission rate.
      The more concentrated the material,
      the higher the fission rate.

    We don’t know that it’s a Muslim name, so we’re going have to investigate Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez’s connection to the tea party first, and then check with the Finnish Embassy to see if that country had some connection to this guy. And we can’t rule out a connection to Mormon missionaries or Quakers. And don’t forget the Salvation Army, those guys are really scary! We have to rule out all of these possibilities before we jump to the wild conclusion that the Religion of Peace had anything to do with this. Remember, its our job to keep you safe from terrorists, and we can’t do that unless we focus on immigrants from Liechtenstein.

      No, I don’t mean the obvious, I mean the bazaar mentality.

      Lurch should have demanded EVERYTHING:

      24/365 access to EVERY site, including new ones.
      Access to ALL the records of all the plants.
      A list of ALL the suppliers, and copies of contracts.
      Release of ALL political prisoners.
      $444 million compensation for hostage staff.
      TOTAL restoration of the US Embassy, their cost.
      Dismantling of ALL advanced weapons teams.
      And a few lesser items.

      Then, with much hand waving and shouting,
      and comments on the Iranians’ parentage,
      or lack thereof, give a little and take a little,
      until a meaningful and CAST-IRON agreement
      is reached. Something unassailable and
      not dependent just on their taqiyya words.

    Listening to Rush Limbaugh. It’s half past 12:00. Limbaugh asks his ditto-heads, “WHY did we suck up to Muslims after the 9/11 attacks?” Great question Rush! Why did you suck up to those who sucked up to Muslims (the “religion of peace and goodness”) in the aftermath of the September attacks. Why did Rush uncritically carry George W. Bush’s (suck-up) water for seven long years post 9/11/2001? Anyone care to tackle these questions?

    • Pere LaChaise says

      Jul 17, 2015 at 1:30 pm

      Excellent line of inquiry, Wildjew.
      I myself despise Pam Geller’s Zionism and refuse to conflate anti-islamism with Republicanism, since the latter has played a HUGE roll in helping the former become the enemy of mankind in the XXI c. that it is. We should ask ourselves, who would peace NOT benefit? Obviously Bibi N. would be out of a job. The arms builders would go broke.
      In August 2008 leftists came to me with glee heralding the defeat of Georgian forces at the hands of Putin’s Russian Army. As though I, who oppose the Repugs, should also hate Saakakhvili (their puppet) and therefore cheer at the destruction of a sovereign nation because of its leader’s sins. I told those fools that hating a Bush does not equate to loving a Putin.
      I posit a hatred of islam and its servitors which is general. The curious non-agression of IS toward Israel is perfect illustration of the odd bedfellows oil and geopolitics foster. I agree with Ms. Geller on her critique of islam but I also impugn her Zionism. I support an independent Georgia but not a Republican one. I oppose islam and its enablers, including US political parties and their sponsors, the “Royal” House of Saud.
      If we take our critique far enough, along the lines of Pope Francis’ thought, the enemy is the pursuit of wealth and power. Islam (which word ought only to be capitalized at the beginning of a sentence) is the false religion of money and power – the perfect weapon of capital. The way of the Cross is the path of voluntary poverty.
      Think about that, all you Republican brown-nosers!

          Being against Zionism, shams78, is just a very thin cover for being against Jews. One knows this or should know it. You don’t.

          In the meantime, “Zionist” Israel has welcomed thousands of Falasha blacks from Ethiopia into Israel and granted them immediate citizenship. In the meantime, terrible “Zionist” Israel accords Israeli Arab Muslims in Israel far more rights than do any of the over twenty Arab nations. In the meantime, Israel treats all people in their superb hospitals equally, even severely wounded Muslim terrorists.

          Israel is the only truly free nation in all of the Middle East. It would not exist but for Zionism, which, I submit, has been promulgated from Herzl onwards by the best of mankind.

          You get none of this, in which case you are either an ignoramus or, in the alternative, you do get this, in which case you are something even worse——a rank liar.

        What a lot of antisemitic rot. The idea that since ISIS has been savvy enough to consolidate their power rather than attacking Israel directly means that they are pro-Zionist is ludicrous.

        – I actually applaud Zionism. That movement, initiated in the late 19th century to provide a homeland for the Jews, specifically exists to protect Israel, a small nation approximately the size of New Jersey. The Zionists simply want a place where its people of heritage — documented as being uninterrupted, even if in small numbers, since Biblical times — may live with a reasonable amount of security while being surrounded by millions of square miles inhabited by those who seek to “wipe it from the face of the earth.”

        The following excerpts, from an article published in May 2013, addresses the term, “Zionist”:

        “The right likes to use it as a type of whipped cream to improve the taste of dubious dishes, while the left treats it with fear, as if it were a mine liable to explode in its hands − which is why it always feels the need to neutralize it with some strange adjective, as in “sane Zionism” or “humane Zionism.” In the dispute between the “national camp” and the “peace camp,” Zionism is used as an offensive weapon that is batted from one side to the other.”

        “Abroad, critics of Israel use Zionism as a kind of poisonous potion to exacerbate every accusation against the state. Many critics believe that the solution to Israel’s future lies in the de-Zionization of its identity. Among Israel’s sworn enemies, “Zionist” is a demonic epithet, a term of denunciation that replaces the word “Israeli” or “Jew.” Hamas members speak of the captured Zionist soldier, and Hezbollah and Iran speak of the criminal Zionist entity, not about Israel.”

        “A Zionist is a person who accepts the principle that the State of Israel doesn’t belong solely to its citizens, but to the entire Jewish people. The practical expression of this commitment is the Law of Return.”

        “Zionism is not an ideology. If the definition of ideology, according to the Hebrew Encyclopedia, is as follows − “A cohesive, systematic combination of ideas, insights, principles and imperatives that finds expression in the particular worldview of a sect, a party or a social class” − then Zionism cannot be considered an ideology, but merely a very broad platform for various ideologies that may even contradict one another.”

    Former FBI assistant director on Mohammad Abdulazeez: “We don’t know that it’s a Muslim name”
    ……………………………….

    Well, that’s just boneheadedly hilarious.

    Sometimes you do get a name like “Youssef” (or “Yusef”) that could be Arab Christian or even Jewish as well as Muslim—but *Mohammad Youssef Abdulazeez*? The idea that that could be anything *but* Muslim is not indicative of multicultural sophistication, but rather deep denial.

    The only way such a person could be anything *but* Muslim would be if he had apostatized but retained his old Muslim name—in which case it would be unlikely that he would be out waging violent Jihad.

    On Thursday’s The Lead, CNN analyst Tom Fuentes was unwilling to conclude that the perpetrator of a mass shooting against servicemen in Chattanooga, Tennessee was Muslim.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Of course he’s a muslim, and it’s widely known by the MSM that *MOHAMMAD YOUSSEF ABDULAZIZ* wrote the following on his blog:

    “Brothers and sisters don’t be fooled by your desires, this life is short and bitter and the opportunity to submit to Allah may pass you by.”

    This man admits to serving “Allah.”

    • gravenimage says

      Jul 17, 2015 at 5:21 pm

      Very true, Champ—of course the fact that *MOHAMMAD YOUSSEF ABDULAZIZ* “turned out” to be Muslim was not surprise to anyone here.

      This could only come as surprise to nitwits like CNN “analyst” Tom Fuentes.

      This is the same twit who has said Islam is only more violent because “Islamists” have “twisted” the teachings of the Qur’an and the “Prophet”:

      “Don Lemon: ‘Is Islam More Violent Than Any Other Faith?’”

      http://www.westernjournalism.com/don-lemon-islam-violent-faith/

      Of course, the scary thing is that many fools in the West are in even deeper denial than Fuentes, and would deny—in the face of the mountain of data—that Islam is violent at ll.

      Still, that Tom Fuentes was assistant director of the FBI—the very people who are tasked with keeping us safe from violent Jihadists—is profoundly disturbing.

      Then it’s time to sack them all and get intelligent people to work for the FBI.
      They know exactly what Islam is all about but they are either too scared to losing their jobs or in on it.

    Just make U want 2barf whether he is that stupid or lying but to go on Worldwide TV and say U don’t know if Mohammed is a Muslim name why doesn’t he just go to a tall building try to learn how to fly above Floor 10. His purpose has been sapped and CNN gave him a present to be Senior Analyst a true gift.

    The former FBI assistant director is right. You cannot from a name find out what a person believes in. And now that Muhammad is dead, we will never find out. Maybe he hated war so much that he killed soldiers, or maybe a soldier stole his wife. 😉

      Another witless offering from “Jan Aage Jeppersen” …

      “You cannot from a name find out what a person believes in.”

      “JAP” is playing semantics with this answer, so don’t expect to have an honest discussion with this clown.

      JAP also wrote:

      “And now that Muhammad is dead, we will never find out.”

      Of course this isn’t true, and the truth can be learned about even a dead person by collecting factual data and connecting the dots.

        It seems that my attempt of satire is lost on you. The problem is, the Homeland Securety and other agencies will never be able to connect the dots correctly, because they dont want to or are not allowed to because of political correctness. Thats my point.

          Now he claims “satire”, when in fact he’s a muslim apologist, and has been since day one.

          He made his debut on JW on this thread, so check it out if you’re perhaps interested in reading his nauseating islamic apologia:

      Uh…right. Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez was probably just hated the violence of war so very, very, much that he went on a bloody spree murdering Infidel soldiers. But he did it because he just really, really hated violence…

      If you won’t swallow that one, maybe you’ll believe he was aggrieved because a soldier dazzled his (entirely theoretical) wife. Oh, the fatal glamor of a boy in uniform—they’re always breaking up happy Muslim homes!

      Never mind that ISIS Tweeted “Chattanooga” right before the carnage—or that they have been urging pious Muslims who can’t travel to the Islamic State to attack American soldiers. After all, we can *never* understand what motivated the poor guy…

      By the way, Jan Aage Jeppersen appears to have shown up on the very comments thread where “Stardusty Psyche” got himself banned. The flood of Muslim apologist trolls here is simply unending…

      No, he hates because this is what the quran instructs muslims to do: commit violent jihad against all non-muslims in the name of allah.

      Jul 17, 2015 at 8:39 pm

      Oh no! How inconvenient for Jan Aage Jeppersen that Muslim Jihadi Terrorist Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez left plenty of blog posts detailing exactly what he thought about Islam and violent Jihad.

      He extolls the “Companions” of Muhammed for not just worshipping Allah, but for engaging in violent Jihad. He says, “every one of them fought Jihad for the sake of Allah”. For this, he describes them as “after the prophets, they were the best human beings that ever lived”.

      He then writes, “we ask Allah to make us follow their path. To give us a complete understanding of the message of Islam, and the strength the live by this knowledge, and to know what role we need to play to establish Islam in the world”.

      That’s what he was doing in murdering these soldiers—killing to “establish Islam in the world”

      He then quotes a Hadith comparing the world to a prison, which a believer should hope to escape as soon as possible while ensuring he gets to Paradise.

      And what is one of the few ways a Muslim can (as he believes) reach Paradise? Why, by murdering Infidels in violent Jihad, of course.

      After this, will JAP still flog the idea that Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez might just have been an overzealous anti-war activist?

    I think CAIR should sue Tom Fuentes (and, by extension, CNN) and order a fatwa for saying that Muhammad may not be a Muslim name. That’s an insult to every self-respecting Muslim man, child and goat that has been lovingly and hopingly named Muhammad.

    Muhammad is not a Muslim name to him … . Read the book “Infiltration” that shows how rabid Islamists infested and subjugated the FBI on whom we rely to protect us from the terrorists. And the CIA are even worse than the FBI, far worse. And the US military top brass are even worse still. CENTCOM in Tampa , Fla. are a cesspool as shown in the books “Preachers of Hate” and “American Jihad”.

      Right on, Enraged! Though I read that book (Paul Sperry, “Infiltration”) about ten years ago, I refer to it frequently. What an eye-opener it was when first published! I suspect that things within the FBI have gotten much worse since then, due to rampant political correctness. I highly recommend this book. Also, Steve Emerson’s book, “American Jihad,” is another great book, as is Kenneth Timmerman’s, “Preachers of Hate.” “Holy War on the Homefront,” by Harvey Kushner, is equally informative. All of these books will inspire righteous anger in the reader. Written two-to-three years after 9/11, these books give stunning snapshots of the peril that existed within America then and why. That danger has increased exponentially since that time.

      Needless to say, all of Robert Spencer’s books are “an absolute must” for anyone desiring to know about Islam, its doctrines and textual sources, its uninterrupted heritage of violence for 1400 years, its modus operandi, etc. In fact, his next book, “The Complete Infidel’s Guide to ISIS, will be released in August; so, be sure to look for it or pre-order it now on amazon.com. I already have.

      The FBI guest is either willfully ignorant or a fucking numb skull, Mohammed Abdulaziz is named after a Muslim prophet and comes from a Muslim family, the chances that an Arab Christian would keep the name Mohammed and have a tangible perogative for shooting at a US military recruiting station 0%. For all of the rediculous arrests and murders that the FBI and CIA are guilty of, they have absolutely no testicles when it comes to Islam. They were ok with killing the last king of Vietnam which led to the Communist take over because that king was a Catholic, but they FBI would bend over and take it in the ass if a Muslim asked them nicely.

      it is extremely distressing to hear that people in the upper echelon of national security can be so ignorant about names , languages and religion…even my dog knows that mohammad yousef abdulazis is a musim name …..it literally means mohammad joseph slave of azeez(allah) , how more musim can the name be ?

      What really horrifies many people who knows the true nature of islam is that america has no strategy to countrer islam. We even refuse to identify that the root cause of terrorism is islam ( not alQaeda, AlShabab, not even the taliban or ISIS ) ..but plain old islam. Let me tell you this , everyone outside of america knows exactly whre the jihad and shariah doctrine comes from ie Islam…how is it that americans can be so stupid and totally ignorant to the point that they forebid their military to even juxtapose islam and terror in the same sentence. DId not Sun Tzu the wise ancient cninese military strategist teach in his book ‘ the art of war’ , that if you do not identify the enemy , then you cannot defeat the enemy and you will lose the battle.

      Islam is not a real religion, it is a politico-military form of fascism guised as a religion and that is why it gets the protection afforded other bona fide spiritual based religion .The mosque is the center of dissemination of the shariah and jihad doctrine , the koran is a manual of terror, the imams who are versed in shariah are de facto field generals, and the mosque is a defacto mini emirate. Muslims or mookmins/believers are really defacto soldiers of allah . I grant that not every muslim acts out the military directive of islam, but the more devout they become ie the more they buy into the politicao-military doctrines of this relilgion the more they become like alQaeda or ISIS.

      Incidentally ISIS is the pure unadulterated form of Islam imitating exactly what mohammad did and did not do. The so called ‘moderate’ muslims are really practising a watered down version or ISLAM-LITE…THE MORE DEVOUT THEY BECOME, THE MORE THEY MORPH INTO ISIS …why in heaven’s name would anyone want to be assoicated with a religion which when practised in its full undiluted roginal form gives you ISIS and the Taliban ?

      EVERY AMERICAN NOW IN ALL TOWNS AND CITIES MUST WRITE LETTERS TO THE EDITIORS OF LOCAL AND STATE AND NATIONAL NEWSMEDIA AND MAGAZINES AND ONLINE PUBLICATIONS DEMANDING THAT THE MOSUES AND MUSLIMS LIVING AMONG THEM CATEGROICALLY DECLARE BEYOND A SHADOW OF DOUBT THAT THE REJECT THE FOLLOWING DOCTRINES ( WHICH by the way are common beliefs held by all schools of islam and are valid doctrines in all so called moderate mosques ). Demand that they reject these seditious and inhumane doctrones if they claim that they uphold our US constitution ( i betcha they cannot, cos they will then become apostates and we know other more devout muslims will kill them. If they deny it, we cannot be sure they are sincere since islam allows for a muslim to lie and deceive to protect islam against unbelievers…do you see the quandary americans are in ?)

      http://www.tawfikhamid.com/abcs-test-for-radical-islam/

      The time has come to define Radical Islam. Please ask your local mosque, Islamic Shool, and Islamic organization to clearly, unambiguously and publically denounce the following concepts:
      Apostates killing
      Beating women and stoning women to death for adultery
      Calling Jews pigs and monkeys.
      Declaring war on Non Muslims to spread Islam after offering Non Muslims three options – subjugate to Islam, pay Jizia (a humiliating tax), or be killed.
      Enslavement of Other Human Beings.
      Fighting and killing Jews before the “End of Days”.
      Gay killing.
      A true moderate person or organization must be able to immediately denounce the above concepts and stand publicly and unambiguously against them.
      The Muslim world must not expect the world to call Islam peaceful as long as they teach and promote the above teaching.
      A clear stand is needed from leading Islamic Scholars all iover the world against the above ABCs.

    Of course it is comforting for media to report that the FBI and other agencies flooded hundreds of personnel into Chattanooga after the attack.

    Perhaps, flooding into the area prior to the attack would have been a bit more noble.
