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

Milwaukee: Muslim plotted jihad mass murder at Masonic Temple

Jan 27, 2016 8:17 am By Robert Spencer

“I am telling you, if this hit is executed, it will be known all over the world. . . . Sure, all over the world, all the Mujahedeen will be talking and they will be proud of us. . . such operations will increase in America, when they hear about it. The people will be scared and the operations will increase, and there will be problems all over, because more than one problem took place, and this will be the third problem, this will lead to people clashing with each other. This way we will be igniting it. I mean we are marching at the front of the war.” It’s coming.

He also said: “We are Muslims, defending Muslim religion, we are on our own, my dear, we have organized our own group.”

“Mass shooting plot: FBI arrests Milwaukee man accused of planning attack at Masonic temple,” FOX6 News, January 26, 2016:

MILWAUKEE — FBI officials announced on Tuesday, January 26th that Milwaukee resident Samy Mohammed Hamzeh, 23, has been charged with possessing machine guns and a silencer.

According to the criminal complaint, Hamzeh had been under investigation since September 2015. The investigation revealed that, in October 2015, Hamzeh planned to travel to Jordan, enter the West Bank, and conduct an attack on Israeli soldiers and citizens living in the West Bank. Hamzeh later abandoned those plans and began to focus on conducting an attack in the United States.

According to the criminal complaint, Hamzeh has engaged in extensive conversations with two confidential sources (referred to here as CS-1 and CS-2). Those conversations, which were in Arabic, were monitored, recorded, and translated by the FBI beginning in October 2015.

During those recorded conversations, Hamzeh explained that he wanted to commit a domestic act of violence and, earlier this month, he settled on a Masonic temple in Milwaukee as his target.

On January 19, 2016, Hamzeh, CS-1 and CS-2 went to a shooting range, and then took a guided tour of the Masonic temple, during which they learned meeting schedules and where people would be located during meetings. In a recorded conversation after they left the temple, Hamzeh, discussed his plans with CS-1 and CS-2. In that conversation, Hamzeh reaffirmed his intention to commit an armed attack on the temple and discussed in further detail how they would carry out the attack.

Hamzeh said that they would need two machine guns so that they each would have one (Hamzeh indicated that one CS already had a machine gun), and also said that they would need three silencers:

“We want two machine guns, you now have one, so we want two more, and we need three silencers, that’s it. Find out how much all together these will cost, and then we will march.”
“We want two, like the machine gun you have. . . . And we need silencers. . . . Three, yes three silencers, and that’s it.”
“. . . each one has a weapon, each one has a silencer gun, the operation will be one hundred percent successful. I am telling you, to go without silencer gun, you will be exposed from the beginning.”

Hamzeh also explained to CS1 and CS2 that, when they executed the attack at the temple, one of the three of them would have to stay at the main door while the others went upstairs to kill the people who would be meeting there:

“one of us will stay at the door at the entrance and lock the door down, he will be at the main door down, two will get to the lift up, they will enter the room, and spray everyone in the room. The one who is standing downstairs will spray anyone he finds. We will shoot them, kill them and get out. We will walk and walk, after a while, we will be covered as if it is cold, and we’ll take the covers off and dump them in a corner and keep on walking, as if nothing happened, as if everything is normal. But one has to stand on the door, because if no one stood at the door, people will be going in and out, if people came in from outside and found out what is going on, everything is busted.”
“As long as the one on the door understands he has bigger responsibility than the others. For your information, he has to take care of everyone around him, the comers and the one that wants to go, he has to annihilate everyone, there is no one left, I mean when we go into a room, we will be killing everyone, that’s it, this is our duty, as for the one at the door, he must have 20/20 eye vision and always alert for all the traffic around him.”
“I am telling you, as I was saying, all three of us get in together, one will go, to the one that is staying at the reception . . . . If she was alone, it is okay, if there were two of them, shoot both of them, do not let the blood show, shoot her from the bottom, two or three shots in her stomach and let her sit on the chair and push her to the front, as if she is sleeping, did you understand? Then stay downstairs, the other two will take the lift to the third floor, go directly to the room, open the door, shoot everyone, move fast even avoiding the lift and take the stairs running down. . . . Using the stairs, the third one on the door will notice us coming down, we will go out together. No one sees anything and no one knows anything. We leave, as if there is nothing, no running, no panic, just regular walking. We’ll get three head covers with three holes in them. . . . we’ll get in all three of us together, the minute we get in, we shoot whoever is in front of us, and all have to be eliminated. One stays down and two will go up quickly.
“And we will eliminate everyone.”

Hamzeh also explained what his objectives were in committing the attack:

“I am telling you, if this hit is executed, it will be known all over the world. . . . Sure, all over the world, all the Mujahedeen will be talking and they will be proud of us. . . such operations will increase in America, when they hear about it. The people will be scared and the operations will increase, and there will be problems all over, because more than one problem took place, and this will be the third problem, this will lead to people clashing with each other. This way we will be igniting it. I mean we are marching at the front of the war.”
“They are all Masonic; they are playing with the world like a game, man, and we are like asses, we don’t know what is going on, these are the ones who are fighting, these are the ones that needs to be killed, not the Shi’iat, because these are the ones who are against us, these are the ones who are making living for us like hell.”
“Thirty is excellent. If I got out, after killing thirty people, I will be happy 100%. . . . 100% happy, because these 30 will terrify the world.”…

    OK, these guys were given a “guided tour” of the Masonic temple??? Who decided THAT was a good idea? Didn’t anyone at that facility see anything odd about it? I find it baffling that so many Americans are still not getting the picture. I don’t want to blame the victims here, and I am thankful that nobody was hurt. But people have to wake up and start saying NO, even though it is politically incorrect.

      “…they learned meeting schedules and where people would be located during meetings.”

      You are right. First, how could the masonic temple be so dumb as to give a bunch of Mohammedans a guided tour. Second, you don’t give a bunch of Mohammedans a guided tour of anything except a deportation bus/plane.

      After all that’s happened to us regarding Muslims and Jihad, if this Milwaukee Jihad had succeeded the masonic temple people would be partly to blame. Good God have you heard of San Bernardino??? You cannot claim ignorance about Islam anymore.

        Masons must think that they are untouchable, because they are manipulating the masses via the Illuminati elite. A bunch of deluded luciferian slaves.

    • gravenimage says

      Jan 27, 2016 at 10:22 am

      The Masonic Temple in San Francisco regularly gives tours, both for general historic interest and to drum up new membership. My guess is that these Mohammedans went on a group tour, and that no one thought anything about it.

      http://sfmasonic.com/history/

      We have an open society, and that mostly serves us very well. It is something plotting Jihadists can make easy use of, though.

      The Freemasons and Muslims are on the SAME team! The grassroots guys must not have got the memo; but the guys at the tops know that! They all serve the same master. This would be Satan’s house divided against itself, as surely as Jesus casting out demons by Satan’s power would have been! Freemasons aligned with the banking houses of Europe, especially the Rothschilds, and with the Jesuits circa 1570 (not a typo), to set in motion that thing we, today, call the New World Order, which has been Satan’s plan for Earth and all creation, in fact, since before humanity first set foot on this Earth. They, together, have been working at it, ever since, and the Muslims are but anther prong of Satanic attack.

        Anyone that thinks the Free Masons and Islam are on the same Team is dumber than a church mouse.

          I’m gussing you’re yet another duped Freemason, who has NO CLUE as to the agenda his buds are actually following. You need to educate yourself. Start with the Freemasons’alignment with the banking houses of Europe and the Jesuit order of the RCC, and the purposes for which that occurred, in the 1550s! Oh, and while you’re at it, chech out what those upper echelon dudes in your club REALLY believe about Yhwh God!

      I’m sure it was a tour that was supervised by the FBI or possibly even giving by a agent ????

    • Mark A says

      Mar 8, 2016 at 7:41 am

      Any lodge will give a tour of their lodge. We as Masons are very proud of our lodges and love being Masons. Another thing to consider, Masons are generally very 2nd amendment supportive and own firearms themselves. We will fight back.

    All Muslims are terrorists as we see it every day when seemingly nice normal Muslim is involved in a terrorist plot. He is only doing what Mo/allah has told him which he can never question even if his conscience tells him against it( well that depends if he has any conscience left following allah’s orders given in Quran)

    • JawsV says

      Jan 27, 2016 at 9:36 am

      All Muslims are potential terrorists. That’s how I prefer to say it. Until they actually start murdering people they’re just potential terrorists/Jihadists. But yes you’re correct that Muslims are just obeying orders from their moon deity, which is really “man behind the curtain” Mohammed. There is no “Allah” as there is no Oz.

      • Jaladhi says

        Jan 27, 2016 at 10:17 am

        That is a PC way of saying it but the fact remains every one of them is a terrorist – it just depends when they act it out!!! Seemingly moderate today and terrorist tomorrow!1

        • JawsV says

          Jan 27, 2016 at 11:41 am

          No, “all potential terrorists” is not PC. In fact it’s un-PC as all-get-out as we’re not supposed to be connecting Islam with terrorism. They are all potential Jihadists until they become Jihadists in deed (murder/mass-murder).

    Oh, for heaven’s sake. This guy has bought the whole Freemason conspiracy theory. Geez, Masons are just a bunch of guys who make pledges to do good works and keep developing their skills and knowledge and virtues and look after each other when one of them falls on hard times. You go in and shoot up a bunch of Masons, you’re shooting up mostly decent family men who deliberately aim to be good people.

    But people who can buy into the jihad can buy into anything.

      ……………………….

      Yeah–I noticed that, as well, Buffster.

      But this should not surprise–Jihadists have also gone after the Lion’s Club, which mostly does charity work for the blind. This is the kind of thing Muslims target:

      “Rotary and Lions Clubs part of “Zionist conspiracy”!”

      http://www.jihadwatch.org/2009/02/rotary-and-lions-clubs-part-of-zionist-conspiracy

      But then, Islam has no concept of “civic organization”–except for mobs molesting women or attacking those accused of “blaspheming”, of course.

    I would encourage everyone reading this to get started now, writing your Governer, state representatives, Senators and Congressmen!
    Let theses people know, in strong but respectful terms that this continued acceptance into our country of these DANGEROUS islamist extremist is NO LONGER ACCEPTABLE!
    Remind them that you, as a VOTER as well as taxpayer will no longer sit by and let them turn America into so sort of haven for the every nut on the tree.
    This nation is throwing my down the toilet inviting then in, and then funding there whole lifes while they quietly subvert our entire value sysyem and way of life.
    ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
    Let them knowchow YOU FEEL! Cards, letters and e-mails! Phone calls too! Tie uo every communication media you can with the VOICE OF THE PEOPLE on these matters! Together we (the people!) Can and will save the Great Land!

    Mainstream media and govts in western countries are trying to hide the crimes of moslems and the payments being made to islam by thousands of companies through product sales and halal certification, but the more I speak to people the more I discover that the truth is coming out. Sometimes people don’t already know, but then you tell them and they are shocked, but not disbelieving. Then you lead them to some good websites.

    Just keep spreading the word.

    Always mo’ Mo’s.

    Why the Masons? They wouldn’t let him try on the Shriner Fez and pointy shoes? The first degree was beyond his mental comprehension? It looked superior to Islam and they were having too much fun?

    With these feral Jihadists, we can be certain their terrible behavior and potty training are related to a common source.

  9. mortimer says

    Jan 27, 2016 at 11:09 am

    For every 3,000 to 7,000 Muslims, there is one jihadist ready to attack.

    Mohammed attacked civilians in the marketplace and even in their bedrooms while they were sleeping…so Muslims follow Mohammed’s sacred example in terrorism.

    In San Bernardino, they attacked a Christmas party. This was a plan to attack a private social club.

    We must now assume the Muslims will attack us anywhere or everywhere.

    Jan 27, 2016 at 2:11 pm

    Legit question. When was the last time that masonic temples and secret societies were relevant? I think John Quincy Adams made his stance against them in the early days of the USA. Really curious choice of target.

    • boakai ngombu says

      MEN … brothers at some common effort that is not that of the mosque, i.e. satisfying the belligerent, malevolent allah god of islam (uninowable; the best of all deceivers) who seek all – especially MEN – to be its saves.

      • boakai ngombu says

        Jan 27, 2016 at 7:01 pm

        in some cities, the MEN of the secret orders are among the powerful and rich, with wide influence especially in the economic sector and politicians

        i would think about offers to provide protection … there could be influence peddling, too

        jobs availability with strong union ties

        alignment … although many church members are also lodge members, there is a gradual strengthening of bonds with these unholy temples, leading to anti- church attitudes and actions

      • boakai ngombu says

        Jan 27, 2016 at 9:55 pm

        … to be its slaves. the allah god of islam wants all to be enslaved to its will.

    Thankfully he was apprehended. WI, may have a problem,it borders Minneapolis (large muslim Somali refugees, Michigan across the lake, and Illinois’s huge muslim population and many mosques, learning centers, being built and Hamas backers.sprinkled around Chicago. and to the southeast Indiana, with a huge rural centrally located mosque. These are very frightening times…..since very few have knowledge about the religion from which jihad springs and the deception or misdirection is deep in the doctrine. Add refugees and you can only guess what will occur. Hopefully, this new prisoner will not be allowed to spread his darwa while in jail.
