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

FBI: UC-Merced stabber was inspired by the Islamic State

Mar 18, 2016 9:47 am By Robert Spencer

Back in November, it was a different story. Faisal Mohammad had left behind a “manifesto,” but even that wasn’t considered conclusive: “The document also included several references to Allah, the sheriff said. Warnke, however, stressed that there was ‘still nothing to indicate’ Mohammad’s Muslim religion had anything to do with his motive. He compared the references made to Allah to a Christian making references to Jesus before carrying out a life-changing decision.”

Faisal Mohammad

Only now, months later, does the FBI admit the obvious.

“FBI: Student Who Went on Stabbing Spree at Univ. of California Campus Was Inspired by Islamic State,” by Oliver Darcy, The Blaze, March 17, 2016:

The University of California student who went on a stabbing spree on the school’s Merced campus was inspired by the Islamic State, the FBI on Thursday said its investigation had concluded.

Faisal Mohammad, 18, who was shot and killed after stabbing four individuals last November had self-radicalized, the FBI said in a statement.

The federal law enforcement agency said Mohammad had pro-Islamic State propaganda on his computer and had visited other extremist websites prior to the attack.

“Investigators developed information that he may have self-radicalized and drawn inspiration from terrorist propaganda,” the FBI’s statement said.

The attack was not directed by a member of the Islamic State, the FBI added. Moreover, law enforcement found no information to show Mohammad was working with anyone else.

During the rampage, Mohammad carried a backpack containing a two-page, hand-written plan, saying that he intended to take hostages while killing students and police officers, the FBI investigators said.

He also had a photocopy of an Islamic State flag and a list of items he would need for the attack — zip ties, glass breakers and a knife.

In a statement, UCM Chancellor Dorothy Leland said the campus was “relieved to finally have resolution to this very tragic event on the UC Merced campus.”…

But you don’t have resolution, because absolutely nothing is being done to prevent another such incident.

    This story is one of the reasons that I now view JW, not just as a Counter-jihad reference, but as a bona fide source for everyday information.

    There are many instances, the Swedish rape epidemic, the German New Year’s Eve assaults, for example, when JW broke the story well in advance of the field, even RT was a distance behind at the time.

    We, of course, were well informed about this guy and his motives, pretty much from the get go, and there’s a certain comfort in not being surprised by shit, even if it does become a bit demoralizing from time to time.

    On that point: I’m starting to take a break from the news once in a while, which is both good for the soul, and allows more concentration on the wider battle against the antiChrist.

    The story if off the frontlines by now, replaced by #OscarsSoWhite or something like that – I doubt a bottom-of-the-penultimate-page article will have much of an impact on public oppinion

    There is a strong correlation between Islam and terrorism. Since all the Islamic apologists agree that violence and terrorism has nothing to do with Islam. Apologists must have the burden of proof. Whoever makes the claim should present the proof.

    However most rational people without knowing anything about the Koran or the life of Mad Mo can see the contradiction.

    The more difficult problem is how we get to the bottom of it. We know that the west must get to the root cause of the problem and this time its religion

    “The attack was not directed by a member of the Islamic State”.

    How stupid can the FBI be ?

    It was reported here, at Jihad Watch, that the Islamic State was encouraging ‘lone wolf’ attacks. I think it unlikely the FBI *doesnt* read Jihad Watch, so this is yet another attempt to water down what islam is allabout, in order to calm down all of the hoi polloi.

    Most, already knew this. As soon as an identity was released, it was obvious.

    I made a commitment to read the Koran. I got far enough into this despicable piece of trash that I had to stop reading it for awhile. . The Koran is the most hate filled, murderous, and sexually deviant book, I have ever read, except porno. It is completely devoid of true love . It disgusted me to read it. I felt dirty, small and evil. I want to burn this crap, but since I committed to read it, I will not. ( I will when I finish.) What surprises me is that I know Muslim educated doctors and engineers that believe and accept this corrupted demonic book. It amazes me. Moderate Muslim is an oxymoron
