Three doctors and a nurse? But John Kerry and other U.S. officials assure us that poverty and lack of opportunity causes terrorism!
Reality is, of course, different. The New York Times reported in March that “not long after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001…Alan B. Krueger, the Princeton economist, tested the widespread assumption that poverty was a key factor in the making of a terrorist. Mr. Krueger’s analysis of economic figures, polls, and data on suicide bombers and hate groups found no link between economic distress and terrorism.”
CNS News noted in September 2013 that “according to a Rand Corporation report on counterterrorism, prepared for the Office of the Secretary of Defense in 2009, ‘Terrorists are not particularly impoverished, uneducated, or afflicted by mental disease. Demographically, their most important characteristic is normalcy (within their environment). Terrorist leaders actually tend to come from relatively privileged backgrounds.’ One of the authors of the RAND report, Darcy Noricks, also found that according to a number of academic studies, ‘Terrorists turn out to be more rather than less educated than the general population.’”
“3 Doctors and a Nurse Arrested for Hizmeh Terror Bombing,” Jewish Press, June 26, 2016:
This has got to be one of the strangest Arab terror cells captured to date in Israel.
On the eve of Israel’s Memorial Day a series of bombs exploded in the Hizme junction, seriously wounding an IDF officer.
The Shabak announced today that in a combined effort between the Shabak and the IDF’s Duvdevan unit, the terror cell which exploded the bombs has been captured. The cell had been planning additional attacks near Maale Adumim.
What is surprising is the makeup of the terror cell.
Three of the five Arab terrorists are dentists, one is a (male) nurse who works in a hospital (which wasn’t named). Two of the suspects had been arrested earlier which apparently led to the capture of the entire cell.
The terror suspects arrested in this raid were:
• Dr. Samer Mahmoud Daoud al-Halabi, born in 1980, a resident of Abu Dis, a dentist – he placed and activated the bombs by cellphone.
• Dr. Dagana Faiz Gamil Nabhan, born in 1980, a resident of the Kalandia, a dentist – he assisted al-Halabi.
• Daoud Mahmoud Shehada al-Halabi, born in 1952, a resident of Abu Dis, a (male) nurse in a hospital – the father of the perpetrator.
• Dr. Daoud Mahmud al-Halabi Shehadeh, born in 1974, a resident of Abu Dis, a dentist – the terrorist’s brother and his assistant in the bombing.
• Shadi Mohamed Ahmed Muhsen, born in ’84, a resident of Abu Dis – the perpetrator’s cousin and an assistant in the bombing….

Upping the ante by several degrees?
Saleem Smith says
Muslims are inevitably driven and instructed by a theological concept/blueprint to conquer the world for Islam. And all Muslims must obey Muhammad in every instance as the model man according to Islamic teachings.
The Quran, which Muslims universally accept to be the infallible word of God as revealed to the Islamic prophet Mohammed by the Angel Gabriel approximately 1400 years ago still provides the rules of conduct for Muslim believers today.
We ex-Muslims know that Mohammedanism is a complete fraud.
Islam is no “religion of peace.” Islam is primarily a religion of “injustice, intolerance, hatred, and violence.” The fact is, if we non-Muslims were to say about Muslims what the Qur’an says about us, we would be arrested for hate speech. The Qur’an largely preaches discrimination, death, and imposition of its dogma on everyone. Certainly some Muslims will be offended by such statements, but frankly, so what? Judaism and Christianity, the world’s two other major monotheistic religions, have had to face the harshest of scrutiny and criticism for several hundred years which continues to this day. Islam must not be granted any special privileges or be exempt from such treatment – the implications are of tremendous importance.
Here is a recent statement from a group of Bangladeshi apostates living in the UK explaining the reasons why they have abandoned Islam:
“One who claims to be a messenger of God is expected to live a saintly life. He must not be given to lust, he must not be a sexual pervert, and he must not be a rapist, a highway robber, a war criminal, a mass murderer or an assassin. One who claims to be a messenger of God must have a superior character. He must stand above the vices of the people of his time. Yet Muhammad’s life is that of a gangster godfather. He raided merchant caravans, looted innocent people, massacred entire male populations and enslaved the women and children. He raped the women captured in war after killing their husbands and told his followers that it is okay to have sex with their captives (Qur’an 33:50). He assassinated those who criticized him and executed them when he came to power and became de facto despot of Arabia. Muhammad was bereft of human compassion. He was an obsessed man with his dreams of grandiosity and could not forgive those who stood in his way…
The statement continues,
Muhammad was a narcissist, like Hitler, Saddam or Stalin. He was astute and knew how to manipulate people, but his emotional intelligence was less evolved than that of a 6-year-old child. He simply could not feel the pain of others. He brutally massacred thousands of innocent people and pillaged their wealth. His ambitions were big and as a narcissist he honestly believed he is entitled to do as he pleased and commit all sorts of crimes and his evil deeds are justified.”

Excellent analysis of the particular problem the World has with this religion. The comparison with Hitler,Stalin and Saddam is apt. What we are dealing with is the human ego and lust for power. These type of people need an ethos like Nazism,, Communism or Islam to justify to others the evil they do. They often combine this with extreme Nationalism. This madness is often appealing to the young but usually started and led by older men.
The West cant understand the evil behind this religion because the leaders think that Islam is like Christianity and other faiths which have mellowed over the years and that the daily violence linked to it all over the world is nothing to do with the true Muslim religion. Turning a blind eye to this obviates the necessity of taking vigorous action against a religion which is now in the millions in their own countries. This is exemplified by the foolishness of Frau Merkel of Germany which was a significant factor in the UK voting for Brexit.
All European countries in the EU should now have an IN/OUT referendum to show the true feelings of the people. The bloated bureaucrats of Brussels should beware !!!

Glad they got the terrorists before more was done. It kind of makes sense that more educated Muslims would be Jihadis. They have the education to read and study the Islamic Texts and read what they really say.
Arthur says
I wonder where they went to dental school? Seems like they should refund the school for wasting that education.

Old, young, rich, poor, educated or not – they are all commanded by muhammad to slaughter the infidel. We don’t have to dissect this. We know what they are and what they believe in, now what the hell are we going to all do about it. Better think fast before it doesn’t matter anymore.

How many of you here in the Muslim Brotherhood believe “poverty and lack of opportunity” causes terrorism”, raise your hand.
All of you?

How many of you were just doing taqiya, raise your hand again.

Oh Yeah ! Hillary Clinton says we only need to give them all jobs. She says when they all have GOOD jobs, they will behave and not blow themselves up among innocent infidels.
John Kerry agrees with her. They are not filthy muslims. They’re just out of work.
Kerry is a petzelkoph and a drek for brains.

Must have been a father & son (and evidently uncle & nephew) bonding exercise, islamic style. It is pity those bombs did not go off prematurely during assembly.
Jerry says
And with names like “Al Halabi” (meaning “From Haleb”) they must be “indigenous Palestinians” whose families actually migrated or invaded from Haleb in syria – more commonly referred to in European languages as Allepo.
Much like the “Palestinians” named “Al Masri” (The Egyptian) or Osman (Ottoman) or Hejazi (From the Hejaz – the area of Meccan and Medina).
The words “Palestinian” or “Palestine” are a fiction trying to claim some continuity and descent from the ancient “Philistines” who once inhabited mainly the coastal plain of the ancient Land Of Israel, except the “Philistines” were actually invaders from the West rather than from the East and were ethnically related mainly to the Cretan Greeks and to the ancient Phinicians while those using the invented “Palestinian” label are mainly Semitic Arab invaders and migrants.

Beware interfaith activists! A guy came to our little church last Sunday claiming to be about peace and charity and interfaith. Investigations on the internet shows he is a . supporter of the Muslim brotherhood. He wouldn’t stay for coffee because it is the month of Ramadan.He didn’t stay long and just departed. Great guy for the interfaith?

Diversity hiring…and the ” unexamined doctrine” of the root causes of terrorism are a deadly combination. Whether in the medical professions, military, taxi cab driver, pilot, teacher, food inspector,politician (although they get voted in),meter reader, hotel operator,pool cleaner, police dept.,cleaning service, rug sales, that is the untouchable passport to operate wide open.
But thank goodness there is no racist involved.
