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

Super Bowl 50 jihad threat: F-16 fighter jets, FBI, K-9 units, helicopters ready

Jan 30, 2016 7:38 pm By Robert Spencer

Islamic jihadis are determined to commit murder on an unprecedented scale inside the United States. The prevailing denial and willful ignorance about the ideological roots of this determination only make their will to destroy that much more difficult to counter.

“Super Bowl 50 Terrorism Threat? F-16 Fighter Jets, FBI, K-9 Units, Helicopters Ready For Football Game,” by Jess McHugh, International Business Times, January 28, 2016 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

The FBI and local authorities have stepped up security surrounding Super Bowl 50, including F-16 fighter jets, helicopters and K-9 teams, CBS Local reported Wednesday. Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, California, where the Super Bowl is to be held, can hold up to 68,500 people, and the threat of terrorism has increased in the wake of a growing terror threat worldwide….

The threat of terrorism was raised throughout the world — in particular on “soft targets,” or civilian areas — following a spate of attacks that occurred Nov. 13, 2015, in Paris. At least nine Muslim terrorists, all of them Belgian or French nationals, descended upon the city, slaughtering 130 people in restaurants, cafes, a concert hall and a stadium.

The attack on the Stade de France, a French sports arena, was foiled by security guards who did not allow the terrorists entry to the game, and security detail for the Super Bowl has been carefully monitoring the potential threat of a similar attack.

“Particularly with the rise in use by terrorist groups of the internet to inspire and recruit, we are concerned about the ‘self-radicalized’ actor(s) who could strike with little or no notice,” the FBI said in a report released earlier this month.

    All these security measures have become necessary because islam is a “religion of peace”? Got it!

    • Buck Shumway says

      Jan 30, 2016 at 7:53 pm

      Of course, how many people do they have to kill before people realize that they are a religion of peace!

        I think everyone has been misunderstanding – they never said they were a religion of “peace,” they said they were a religion of “piece” – as in blow you to pieces if you disagree.

          Yes, you can protect yourself from external enemies with f-16’s etc. Protecting yourself against the internal enemies who enable them, is rather harder. Take a hike, you unchristian moron.

    And the cost of all these homeland security measures throughout the Western World to keep us safe ?
    US $ 200 billion,$ 500 billion , a trillion or even more per annum ?

    And all because a few dumb arse bleeding heart ‘do gooders’ thought it would be a nice gesture to open their nations doors to these poor, persecuted, peace loving muslim people

    • Shane says

      Jan 31, 2016 at 10:47 am

      Yes, it was Osama’s plan to bankrupt the USA with all the money that we will have to spend to protect our people from Islamic terrorism. Of course, we could do the smart thing, as Trump stated, to stop all Muslim immigration into the USA. Every Muslim immigrant is a security risk.

    • Katnis says

      Jan 31, 2016 at 12:53 pm

      It’s true. And who pays for it? The citizens, mainly the middle class. It comes out of the people’s taxes in slowly increasing % amounts.

      I am on board with halting all muslim immigration.

    I love the way they always blame the inernet not Islam in these wayer weak articles. You have to guess this really a ploy to subtly program socitey to accrpt restrictions on freedom of speech for their own good. So heres a hearty fuck you to them all lets hope we get to see them swinging one day for genocide and treason.

    Only some of them are dangerous! There is no way to tell which ones so just let them ALL in!! The US can stand to lose a few white people, right?
    The globalists who have set up this mass migration into the west want to destroy western civilization as we have known it. They have grown astronomically rich off the slave labor of the third world and now they want to bring that third world to the west. They have trained western citizens to hate themselves and to self destruct. They want to destroy what those of the past worked hard to create.
    The rest of the world would still be sitting by campfires and candles at night if it were not for the technological advances made in the west but the west was founded on Christian principles that leftists cannot tolerate and that is why they must destroy it. Their premise is that man cannot rule himself and that government is god. Only the elite few are allowed to enjoy the fruits of the labor of the masses. This has been what leftist ideology has been about from the start. It is not new. It is just recreating the monarchies of the past.
    The caliphate that the Muslims want seems perfectly reasonable to a leftist because it means that a few reign over the masses. The two ideologies are almost exactly alike. Neither respect life.
    The leftists/globalists want to recreate the feudal system of the past by flooding the west with people who care nothing about life or liberty.

    • Will Doohan says

      Feb 2, 2016 at 5:04 am

      The West was not founded on Christian principles. It was not until philosophys that acknowledged the efficacy of human reason over faith in gaining knowledge of the reality of our material world, and the acceptance of humans being able to study, understand, and manipulate that world using science and technology that the West began to exceed other civilizations in not only economic output, but also in political reform.
      It was Science and Technology based on philosophies that extolled human reason and Material Reality as their base that gave rise to the Ascension of the West.
      Christianity had very little to do with that, although I do acknowledge that it had a small role to play.
      The belief that the Western World became ascendent because of Christianity is a modern myth created by Conservatives.
      You Conservatives should actually finish some of Ayn Rand’s books instead of merely saying that you have.

    Super Bowl 50 jihad threat: F-16 fighter jets, FBI, K-9 units, helicopters ready
    …………………………

    For decent Americans and sports fans around the world, the Super Bowl is a demonstration of great athletic skill and chance to root for your favorite team–for pious Muslims, it is nothing but a *target* for death and destruction.

    God, I hate Islam.

    And it’s not just at the Super Bowl itself–the whole region has increased security:

    “Crews Working to Get Security in Place for Super Bowl City in San Francisco”

    http://abc7news.com/sports/crews-working-to-get-security-in-place-for-sfs-super-bowl-city/1177572/

    Now, some of the banned items are common sense–that you don’t bring skateboards or alcohol in large crowds.

    But most of it, from the metal detectors to banning of large bags–are all about attempting to flout Jihad terror.

    My husband went to an unrelated film festival today, and he said the security presence on BART is huge.

  6. abad says

    Jan 30, 2016 at 8:34 pm

    Exactly why would Muslims be going to the Superbowl anyways?

    Islam strictly forbids sports, and punishment for engaging in sports is beheadment.

    Just read the Quran……

    • gravenimage says

      Jan 31, 2016 at 10:26 pm

      abad, Jihadists wouldn’t be going to the Super Bowl to enjoy the game–just to murder the Infidels who are.

  7. More Ham Ed says

    Jan 31, 2016 at 2:02 am

    The threat of terrorism has increased in the wake of a growing following of the terror guide, the unholy ko ‘ran, worldwide.

    27712 Islamic terror attacks since 9/11.

    http://www.thereligionofpeace.com

    More ham. Less ko ‘ran.

    Not exactly relate to SB 50,

    Questions for Muslims:

    If you download a PDF version of qur’an in Arabic and Burn it to a CD does that count as burning Quran?
    What happens if you burn your computer cause the batteries got too hot, or you just threw it in a fire – is that burning a Quran? What if you delete the PDF and reformat the hard drive, does that count as destroying a Quran?

    If someone does that and goes to the super bowl, will you feel justified in killing them?
    Are you concerned about possibly killing any Muslims that go to see the game, or are you just hellbent on killing?

    • Andrew says

      Jan 31, 2016 at 6:02 am

      Muslims who go to the game would be hypocrites and in Islam …. According to Mohamed …. The hypocrites are less valued than those who give their life and wealth to jihad. That’s why Muslims can kill Muslims with such impunity.
      If your not the right brand of belief and fundamentalism you are pretty much a kafir

    I’m sorry to say it but every time I hear of another atrocity foiled I think that’s another chance to wake up a few more people lost.

    Isn’t it only such things which will do the job? With me it was Woolwich, with others 9/11 or 7/7 or Madrid or Bali or San Bernadino or the massacre at the Bluewater shopping centre (that one’s next).

      Yes, horrifying, ECAW–the specter of British citizens being beheaded in the streets.

      With me–like so many–it was 9/11. I’d been becoming increasingly concerned about Islam before this, with the constant hijackings, suicide bombings on Israeli civilians, the terrible assault on the Achille Lauro, and the attack on the Cole–but it wasn’t until 9/11 that I really began to grasp the scope of the threat we faced from Islam.

      Whenever good Infidels wake up it is a good thing.

        graven image, Woolwich done it for me as well, i think it was that image of the old woman walking past with her shopping totally oblivious, that was me , i was asleep. I have woken up , now life will never be the same.

    No Muslims no terror. ALL Muslims must obey the Quran and so “peaceful” Muslims are a 5th column, waiting for instructions. How many “peaceful” Muslims are out on the streets of America protesting ISIS?

    Millions of Muslims are leaving Islam

    And Ronald Regan said:” We shall not exchange freedom for security.” ……unfortunately we did it. We live in the world where have to watch over our shoulder all the times.
