The Orlando jihad mass murderer was anything but a “lone wolf.” My latest in FrontPage:
Noor Salman, the wife of Omar Mateen, the Orlando gay nightclub jihad mass murderer, has gone missing, and with good reason: she explodes the idea that Mateen was a “lone wolf” terrorist. She should be arrested – but now she is gone.
Salman witnessed him selling his house to his brother-in-law for $10 – a clear indication that the couple knew jihad was in the offing. She has admitted to law enforcement authorities that she and her husband had recently been “scouting Downtown Disney and Pulse [the nightclub where the jihad massacre took place] for attacks.” Mateen texted her during his massacre, asking if she had seen the news; she responded that she loved him.
As authorities deliberated over whether or not to arrest her, Salman herself showed more dispatch. Last Wednesday, the killer’s father, Seddique Mir Mateen, told reporters that Salman was “no longer here.”
No one seems to have asked Seddique Mateen himself where she has gone, but he probably knows. There are, after all, numerous indications that he may not be as upset about his son’s jihad massacre as he has claimed: he is an open supporter of the Taliban, and the morning after the murders, he posted online a video in which he claims that he was “not aware what motivated” Omar to “go into a gay club and kill 50 people,” but then he adds: “God will punish those involved in homosexuality,” as it is “not an issue that humans should deal with.”
Despite Seddique Mateen’s professed puzzlement over his son’s actions and denial that Omar had been “radicalized,” is it really any wonder that a man who grew up in a household in which the Taliban were held up as positive role models would turn out to be a jihad terrorist? Omar Mateen is known to have cheered at school when al-Qaeda flew planes into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001; is it likely that his father, a supporter of al-Qaeda’s allies and collaborators the Taliban, rebuked him for doing so?
While not revealing where Noor Salman is, the family issued a statement saying: “Noor is completely innocent and [was] unaware of the attacks.” It added the claim that she is unable to comprehend “cause and effect.” The mainstream media, always anxious to exonerate Islam from responsibility for the crimes done in its name and in accord with its teachings, even dragged out Salman’s middle school teacher to say: “Noor had difficulty with retention, she had difficulty with conceptualizing, understanding, all challenges to her. She tried hard. She was very sweet.”
All that may be so, but Noor Salman is an adult now, and her difficulty in middle school is irrelevant to whether or not she aided her husband in preparing for his jihad massacre. She should have been arrested, and the whole family needs to be investigated. Former Department of Homeland Security official Philip Haney responded trenchantly to common media claims that Mateen was “self-radicalized”: “As though nobody knew anything – that’s completely preposterous. If you know anything about the Islamic worldview, family and community is ultimately central to everything they do. The concept of operating alone is anathema to the Islamic worldview. They just don’t do it. So, self-radicalization – what does that even mean any more? Nobody is self-anything in this world we live in.”
Yet the feds let Noor Salman slip through their fingers – and whatever Muslim community in which she is hiding now isn’t calling the police to alert them of her whereabouts. Was the FBI too complacent in its politically correct dogma that Muslims in America all hold to a benign, peaceful form of the faith, and that any Muslim in the U.S. who becomes a jihad murderer must have been “radicalized on the Internet,” to be too concerned about the possibility that Omar Mateen’s family was complicit in his attack? How long will it be before Seddique Mateen and the rest of the family absconds, as did Noor Salman?
The Orlando jihad massacre was eminently preventable: the FBI questioned Omar Mateen but deemed him unworthy of close scrutiny, even after a gun shop owner reported him; agents didn’t even bother to visit the shop. This was after Mateen bragged to coworkers about jihad ties, but the FBI called off investigation, dismissing the coworkers as “Islamophobic,” and after Mateen threatened to kill a sheriff and his family, and the FBI dismissed the threat. Now they have let Noor Salman slip through their fingers. Would it have been “Islamophobic” to arrest her? And how many more Americans have to die before the politically correct fantasies that hamstring law enforcement today are discarded?

As Bill Warner says in his latest video — “Winning the Jihad Ward” — there are no “lone wolves” in Islam. Everyone has Muhammad and Allah as companions.
The video runs 9 minutes, and includes points on several topics — including how to respond when Muslims say “Hey, I am not doing bad stuff — don’t pick on me !”
Dr. Warner’s website is http://www.politicalislam.com. He is a complete expert on all aspects of that “faith” which is really, of course, a supremacist violent ideology of subjugation and conquest.
ALSO, WATCH DAVID WOOD’S LATEST VIDEO — “THREE QUESTIONS FOR MODERATE MUSLIMS” at his website http://www.answeringmuslims.com.
And tell everyone you possibly can to watch it too. David is one of our most brilliant counter-jihadists, and has created many excellent items. Try “The Jihad Triangle” — 5 short minutes — for an introduction to his level of knowledge.
JAR says
Hey j3tracker-
David Wood has an even more recent video out!
jihad3tracker says
Thank you for that, JAR. By the way, I forgot to suggest that everyone who has a Facebook account should put up an item there about David’s videos.
THE BEST ONE TO UNDERSTAND THE SECRECY OF PROMINENT AMERICAN MUSLIMS ABOUT THEIR TRUE AGENDA: “Three Stages of JIhad”. It is long — almost 25 minutes — and filled with historical context and citations from the Qur’an and Sunna.
Watch it when you are not distracted or multitasking, please. Notice the important of the number 3 — referring to stealth, defensive, and offensive jihad. Also, at the very end, David adds a fourth stage, regarding clueless Westernized Muslims being hugely ignorant about Islam’s foundational sacred texts and teachings.
And —- my favorite seditionist (Barry Hussein Soetoro, our president) — appears several times to add a bit of comedy and pathological deceit. Keep a pail nearby, however, because you might feel the need to vomit after realizing how completely he hates the United States, white Americans, and our Constitution.
jihad3tracker says
I forgot to mention something important —- THIS VIDEO ABOVE, POSTED BY JAR is absolutely perfect to send to your elected officials, at both the national and state levels.
David talks about what ALMOST EVERY one of them does — spread misinformation and defend Islam, even though no of them has ever read a single word in the Quran, Hadith, or Sira, unless they were guided to deceptive or abrogated passages.
Let me strongly suggest, however, that in your email, give them a YOUTUBE link or one at DAVID’S WEBSITE. NOT here at Jihadwatch, because that would be too heavy a dose of truth regarding Islam for those clueless morons to understand.
You would be dismissed as a tinfoil hat conspiracy nut, living in the remote backwaters of America. Be a bit cautious instead please, even if you really want to call one of their offices and yell “YOU ARE A COMPLETE IDIOT !”
Norger says
Astute observation that if other family members are charged, that would tend to refute the “lone wolf”‘narrative we are being fed. Not that political considerations have anything to do with this of course.
If she really has fled (as distinct from being holed up somewhere with notice to the authorities) the fact of her flight can be used against her in a criminal prosecution. From an evidentiary standpoint, flight equals consciousness of guilt. I’m not a criminal lawyer, but I am also fairly certain the grand jury would be permitted to consider her flight in determining whether to indict her. Bottom line, if she has really fled, and she isn’t charged, something is seriously wrong.
Kay says
The house Mateen sold for 10$ or $100 should be sold to help pay for victims’ expenses.
JAR says
Yes, the hits just keep on coming. No pun intended. Mr. Spencer can only be commended for his unstinting, incisive analysis of the depressing state of domestic and foreign policy. Yesterday’s announcement by the AG to scrub the ISIS content from the Mateen phone calls is the latest case of injudicial clownfoolery.
Robert knows that it would have been Islamophobic to arrest the wife. The material question remains, his last question in this piece. For his part, Daniel Pipes once gave this answer:
>My prediction: Denial will continue unless violence increases. In retrospect, the 3,000 victims of 9/11 did not shake non-Muslim complacency. The nearly 30,000 fatal terrorist attacks by Islamists since then also have not altered the official line. Perhaps 300,000 dead will cast aside worries about Islamist sensibilities and a reluctance to make profound social changes, replacing these with a determination to fight a radical utopian ideology; three million dead will surely suffice. Without such casualties, however, politicians will likely continue with denial because it’s easier that way. I regret this – but prefer denial to the alternative.<

Jack Everett says
I am not against any people immigrating to America but these Islamic people have no intentions of becoming American citizens. They don’t allow their children to attend American schools and learn Western culture.
You have no idea what goes on in these mosques and you only need one loong Iman to set the whole congregation on a killing spree.
The FBI has no business playing politics with our citizens lives. The FBI is an investigative body not a political party.
The FBI doesn’t even seem to care about the blunders it keeps making with these terrorists.
Mark Swan says
This Administration being over all the law enforcement agencies, is despicable—these are all employees of the American People—public servants—they must start serving our interests.
Cecilia Ellis says
Excellent comment, Mark!
Alexander the Grape says
Once upon a time people were held accountable for their actions, or non actions as in this case. But now, as the pall of Islam starts to settle over the whole world, people are afraid to hold others responsible, starting with Muslims. This should have gone immediately straight to the top, to the President. He is responsible for the inaction of the FBI. He should be called to resign over the deaths of all these Americans. Philip Hanley is right, and so are you Robert. Why does no one in the US call for the head of the President? Why not call for accountability?
Mark Swan says
I believe they will—but what has to come first—who knows.
Jack Everett says
Muslims winning, humanity loosing. Christians winning, humanity winning.
I have never heard such a nonsense statement.
Christians have been attacking islamic people since the Jews were thrown out of Palestine. It,s the West that has set the ME on fire in Modern times as well and they are all Christian states.
All religions are guilty of committing horific acts against other races.
Gary says
Why would they arrest the wife?
The Department of Justice is scrubbing all references of Radical Islamic Beliefs from the transcripts of calls terrorist Omar Mateen made to police during the Orlando massacre!
Shocking?! No.
No…. You can expect more cover-ups from the Obama Administration.
See no evil. Hear no evil. Speak no evil.
“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isaiah 5:20)
Charlie in NY says
That Noor Mateen does not understand the concept of “cause and effect” might evidence a fundamentalist Islamic worldview. For Allah to remain omnipotent, he cannot be fettered by what infidels call the “laws of Nature.” If Allah wants an apple to be suspended in mid-air or go up rather than fall to Earth , it simply shows he is not bound by our concept of gravity. So, perhaps for her, the only link between cause and effect is whatever Allah wills it to be at any given point.
Then again, Noor was able to connect the dots between being identified by law enforcement and the media as a potential accomplice to terror and the need for her to run away and hide. So, she may be capable of learning after all.
Richie says
I suspect Obama someone gave instructions she was not to be arrested
John A. Marre says
The Obama administration is doing all it possibly can to exonerate all Muslims for the mass murder in Orlando, and all the others that they commit.
No surprise that they aren’t too interested in catching this woman who is obviously an accessory to the murder.
Richie says
since the administration openly admitted the transcripts of the phone conversation between the Jihadist and the the police will be scrubeb of all reference to islam or the Islamic state, they have already decided ion a narrative- they will blame this on the NRA or climate change- he equally guilty wife will disrupt the narraive. Don’t be shocked if Obama arranged for her safe travel out of the country
Carmel says
Mr , Spencer,
Twelve or fourteen months ago , I did not mnew much about Islam , Qu’ran and Muhammad. I don’t remember how but I know I have watch a video on Yt about Islam and so , next day , Yt made me proposals on the same «subject ». Normally, the videos that were suggested to me , I would not have find it by myself but I was very happy to learn such videos exist.
Every day , I received more and more suggestions and I knew more and more about Islam and muslims. Now , I,m surprised to see how muslims know so little about their religion. I ‘m surprised too to see how representatives, mayors, tv hosts , journalists know so little too and say stupid thing. Around us , most of people think Islam is a religion like any other else as Baptists, Evangelists, Catholic or Lutherans except their god’s name is Allah . For 6 months , every week at least, i would write a long mail explaining islam to a mayor in a major city , a representative, a columnist, a tv show host and muslims themselves, what is Islam , what is written in their Coran, Hadiths and Life of Muhammad.
( Incidently , I learn last week how The Life Of Muhammad was written. According to Brunot Bonnet -Eymard, a french btother , who took 30 years to translate first 3 Surrates so each word – arabic, hebrew , syriac or aramean – gets its true meaning when translated, Muhammad biography is a pure fantasy .
One hundred years after Muhammad’s death , muslims (caliphs) needed a biography of the messenger. So, they read all the Qu’ran and took out every line where it says something about Muhammad ‘s life. Then, for each line taken out, « biographers » invent a story that could go with the line out . So Muhammad biography is a fantasy based on the Qu’ran and has no hiistorical value.)
The most important thing anybody on the planet need to know about Islam is that muslims are ask to LIE to non-muslims so to trick them. If FBI agents would know this , they had , on the first day of Orlando’s massacre, get Mateen ‘s wife, father ‘s and probably other family members arrested and interrogated to see if individually lies of everyone stand with lies of the others. On the first night of the Orlando ‘s massacre, I never gave credit to Mateen’s wife and father’s . Nor the Iman who came to tv and apologise to gays the next day . For me , all this is Taqiya.
Like in Brussels , I don’t believed a word of Salah Abdeslam brother who is so clean . How can a brother go back and forth to Greece, than to Austria , than to Paris , than to … in the same 6 months , once in a Mercedes, once in a BMW etc.. without one asking himself questions : « What my brother is up to ?»
In America , sometimes islamist jihadists don’t have a criminal record before doing their crime , but in Europe , most of the time , islamist jihadists had a criminal record: Coulibaly, Merah, Abdeslam, Abaaoud etc…. French prisons are where jihad recruters find their men. Someone who had already do a criminal act is more susceptible to do another one. It is more easy when you had done one.
My point to everyone, don,t be naïv , muslims lie . It is very easy for them to do so . Second , leftists don’t see muslims as ennemies , but in muslim’s head it s not reciprocal. Muslims see all kafirs as ennemies. Sorry , it is so . As Bill Warner say : « A muslim may seems friendly to you but he is not your friend.» If he is , he is personaly in danger with his tribe. For Muhammad , you are with him or against him. If you are not for him, penalty is death sentence.
It is so elementary to know that . it was so since 1400 years. FBI , Obama, Clinton please read my comment and do something with it .
Jay Boo says
Where is she?
She could be at any local mosque.
She might be at CAIR headquarters.

Angemon says
Yes, I’m sure that Omar led a double-life – at work he was blatantly homophobic and supremacist while at home, in front of his family, he acted like a perfect angel…
SBJ says
By all accounts his first wife stated he would come home and beat her. Not a nice guy.

Westman says
To hear the family’s description of Noor, she wasn’t smart enough to relate cause and effect. Maybe when Omar beat her, unlike the 1st wife, she thought it was Quranic love? Any whips and chains in the closet?
Jack Everett says
Noneof these terrorist attacks show the brains it takes to organise and carry out an attack like Orlando or 9/11.I think the FBI knows more then they are letting on about these attacks.
Jack Everett says
All this after she admitted she knew about the attack and even talked to him while he was murdering people.
Westman says
Another apparent failure caused by Islamophobia-phobia.
Are some of those perfectly innocent 800,000 refugees, that Robert McKenzie described, busy hiding “not-so-bright” Noor. That seems oxymoronic since “noor” means light.
Do you suppose sympathizers will smuggle her out of the US? Or, maybe we’ve got it wrong and she’s at a CIA Black Site on a water-board? And who has the child?
These potential TV scripts write themselves yet will never be seen due to Islamophobia-phobia.
overman says
“The mainstream media, always anxious to exonerate Islam from responsibility for the crimes done in its name and in accord with its teachings”
Yes, exactly what FBI agent Ron hopper said today – ‘mateen does not represent the religion of lslam but a perverted form of it’. What a moron.
Ashley says
All this begs the question…why wasn’t Katherine Russell, Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s widow, not arrested following the Boston Marathon bombings?
She converted to Islam. The instructions to construct the pressure cooker bombs were on HER computer. You can’t tell me with a straight face that she had no knowledge of the planned attack.
I’m sure her family retained a good lawyer and she was advised not to claim her husband’s body from the morgue.
It has always troubled that she walks free…
ElderlyZionist says
Where will Noor Salman turn up? Saudi Arabia? Pakistan? Somewhere far away, and safe from Islamophobia, I expect.
Richard Paulsen says
Islam and journalists hating Nonbelievers, spreading hate against Christians, Christianity, the Western world, Westerners, Americans and Europeans both are spurring both hateful and deadly attacks,
betraying the Working Class.
Jack Everett says
The West is inspiring these attacks It’s Christians starting with the crusades that have plundered and raped their way across the ME.
Richard Paulsen says
Not being muslim countries. Arabinvasions since 600 AD. Destroying. Spreading Into Christian countries.
0-5% Christians in muslim countries.
Angemon says
The Crusades were a delayed, small-scale response against centuries of unprovoked muslim aggression, invasion, plunder, rape and conquest of Christian nations.
Richard Paulsen says
Muslims winning, humanity loosing. Christians winning, humanity winning.
Ashley says
I just did a brief search. I can’t find any mention asking the public for information on Noor Salman’s whereabouts. Nada. No APB. No “be on the lookout.” No “please contact authorities if seen.” No “may be traveling in a ‘fill-in-the-blank’ vehicle.” No “may be armed and dangerous.” No “may be traveling to her native California.” No “wanted for questioning in The Pulse nightclub massacre.”
We know Ms. Salman played a role in one of the most horrific terror attacks on US soil…and yet there doesn’t seem to be any great urgency to locate her.
That’s fucked up.
BlueRaven says
She is under a Burka in the neighborhood near you. She aint gone anywhere. She is most likely living next door. Of course under Obama, FBI aint gonne to dig.
