Jihad Watch

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

Wife of Orlando jihad mass murderer knew of his jihad plans

Jun 14, 2016 4:52 pm By Robert Spencer

But she didn’t go to the police. Why not? This is an inculcated attitude. Hamas-linked CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper recently claimed that “law enforcement authorities have repeatedly stated that they have tremendous cooperation from the Muslim community.” But Hamas-linked CAIR’s hypocrisy is astounding, as it has more than once advised Muslims not to cooperate with law enforcement. In January 2011, its San Francisco chapter featured on its website a poster that read, “Build A Wall of Resistance / Don’t Talk to the FBI.” In November 2014, CAIR-Florida’s “14th Annual Banquet Rooted in Faith” in Tampa distributed pamphlets entitled “What to do if the FBI comes for you” and featuring a graphic of a person holding a finger to his lips in the “shhh” signal.

Another CAIR pamphlet, entitled “Know Your Rights: Defending Rights, Defeating Intolerance” featured a graphic of the Statue of Liberty likewise making the “shhh” symbol. Cyrus McGoldrick, a former official of Hamas-linked CAIR’s New York chapter, even threatened informants, tweeting with brutal succinctness: “Snitches get stitches.” Zahra Billoo of CAIR-San Francisco regularly tweets that Muslims have no obligation to talk to the FBI, and should contact Hamas-linked CAIR if the FBI asks to talk to them.

Noor Salman’s failure to tip off authorities is of a piece with all that.

“Wife of nightclub shooter knew of deadly plans, source says,” Fox News, June 14, 2016:

The wife of the Orlando nightclub shooter knew of her husband’s deadly plans and did nothing to stop him, a federal law enforcement source confirmed to Fox News.

FBI agents have interviewed Omar Mateen’s wife, Noor Salman, in the days since Sunday’s massacre that killed 49 and wounded 53 more. Mateen died in a shootout with police early Sunday morning. While Salman has been widely referred to as Mateen’s wife, the only proof of their marriage is her listing as his wife on a 2013 mortgage document and family members who said the two were married and had a 3-year-old son.

Salman told investigators that Mateen shared his plans with her to carry out an attack and Mateen may have even called her from the gay club Pulse during the slaughter, a source told Fox News. Salman also confirmed details of Mateen’s gun purchases prior to the assault.

A separate source told Fox News that Salman was cooperating with investigators and had shared information about her husband’s violent aspirations. She had taken a polygraph, CBS reported.

Salman is likely to be arrested, a source told Fox News.

Mateen allegedly scouted an alternate location for the shooting — Downtown Disney — in April and again in early June, CBS reported….

    He could have gone to Disney world and went on a shooting spree, think of the children!

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Jun 14, 2016 at 8:29 pm

      If the attack had targeted Disney World, I doubt it would just have been him going. It would have been her too, and the kid in a stroller, and backpacks and a great big nappy bag containing … weaponry and/ or explosives.

      Just a young family all together going to Disney World.. *of course* they’d have taken the kid along, to disarm suspicion. Nobody thinks twice about a young mum pushng a stroller and toting a great big bag, because everyone assumes it’s full of stuff for the kid.

    • Dacritic says

      Jun 16, 2016 at 2:47 am

      Oh he has a kid. Maybe he’d grow up to be a devout Muslim like his dad too?

    Failure to tip off the authorities? More like an unwillingness to tip off the authorities. When it comes to murdering infidels and those they consider ‘undesirables’, Muslims simply won’t grass on one another.

    Salman is likely to be arrested, a source told Fox News.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    “Likely”? Is that a Yes? Hope so. Criminal charges *must* be brought against this woman as she was complicit in this mass-murder, and she could have saved 50 lives! If she isn’t charged then justice will not have been served.

    • SpiritOf1683 says

      Then sent down for 50 years at least, or better still, given the needle.

      Why in the world wasn’t she arrested? She is now free to disappear in the traitorous Muslim community.

  4. eduardo odraude says

    She is an accomplice to mass murder. Should get life in prison without possibility of parole.

    Quote: “The wife of the Orlando nightclub shooter knew of her husband’s deadly plans and did nothing to stop him”

    15% of Muslims approve of jihad terrorism. 65% of Muslims approve of strict Sharia and a caliphate…like ISIS.

    Muslims are more radicalized than most Westerners realize. Muslims keep their radicalization close to the chest.

    • SpiritOf1683 says

      Jun 15, 2016 at 1:38 am

      So in essence, 80% of Muslims either support terrorism or want the terrorists to win, which is the same thing. They have resumed a war against us after being put on the defensive from say 1699 to 1973. What does that show? It is obvious that they have detected weakness in the West starting over 40 years ago, and have been encouraged by everything they’ve seen since 1979.

      • Rufolino says

        Jun 15, 2016 at 4:03 am

        Yes indeed ! Islam HAS detected weakness in the West, and almost nothing in recent years his disabused them of this perception. Their perception is correct ! The West has become effete, rudderless, and leaderless. The age of leaders like Churchill is now prehistoric and little now stands in the way of the triumph of Islam over the West.

    • salim says

      Jun 15, 2016 at 8:59 pm

      All ( or the vast majority) of Muslims approve of sharia (=law), a person cannot be a Muslim without accepting sharia, which is the backbone of Islam. There are some Muslims who are critical of sharia but they are usually apostates in disguise.
      In the West, those Muslims who say they do not approve of sharia are liars practicing taqyya (deceit) and they mean: not now but later.
      I also believe that those who approve of jihad terrorism is higher than15%. It is that taqyya again.

    Conspiracy, aiding and abetting. Poor kid, brought into a life of crud due to his parents worshipping satan and his wild beast. Probably a beast follower grand parent will get the child if the woman goes to prison.

    And some of us, if not all, guessed she knew before it happened
    . “What did you bring home today, dear?”

    “Oh, nothing much. Just another box of ammo and something to hurl it with.”
    “Alright, master honey. I made more room on the shelf in the front closet, next to the new rifle.”

    • neversink says

      Jun 15, 2016 at 9:45 am

      Conspiracy, aiding and abetting. Those are the lesser charges. Since she knowingly did not report the crime, she should be charged with 49 counts of murder and 53 counts of attempted murder for all those who were injured during her husband’s attack. How long did she know about this? She might have even helped him plan it.

  7. StacyGirl says

    Jun 14, 2016 at 6:05 pm

    This bears out what Trump said in his speech yesterday. The Muslim community is complicit with jihad and doesn’t cooperate with police.

    • Carolyne says

      Jun 15, 2016 at 10:24 am

      And Trump is right. Most Muslims who come here from those horrific countries try to set up their homeland here, exactly like what they left. I think Muslims have some sort of mental deficiency, likely because of incest over many generations.

      • Westman says

        Jun 16, 2016 at 12:49 am

        Imagine the utter callousness of Islamic Ideology that makes the wife an inferior and the children disposable. That is certainly a deficiency.

        The beautiful child in the family photo has been sacrificed on the false altar of Islam by a selfish man who acted on hate in preference to his obligation as a father.

        No wonder Muslim countries are so unable to compete in the modern world; they are based on servitude to the motherlode of bad ideas.

        I don’t know what the heavenly reward is for Muslim women, but Mohammed said that most of the inhabitants of hell are women. They probably get to be one of some old dirty Muslim man’s 72. A Muslim man would consider that a reward for a woman, like when Mohammed said to banish them from one’s bed if a man fears a woman is going to be disobedient. Banishment from the bed of a filthy old man with a stinky beard would be a reward, actually,

        • Cecilia Ellis says

          Jun 15, 2016 at 10:37 am

          “Mohammed said that most of the inhabitants of hell are women. They probably get to be one of some old dirty Muslim man’s 72.”

          Additionally, subsequent to each sexual encounter, Allah will restore the virginity of the woman so that she and the martyr can have another round of encounters . . . an eternal process. As such, for the woman, that would be hell.

  9. Michael Copeland says

    Jun 14, 2016 at 6:24 pm

    “Until we can figure out what the hell is going on” (Trump).
    Just possibly, and thanks to Jihad Watch, Pamela Geller and others whom they may hear, the American pubic can start figuring out what is going on.
    Absolutely NO thanks to Obama, Clinton, and the MSM, for their wilful obfuscation.

    This couple might just as well join up with the two sickos who massacred all their friends out in San Berardino! If it smells of ISLAM, it stinks to high heaven! ASSIMILATE OR GET OUT!!!! The wife is just as guilty as the demented mass-murderer, himself!!! If she knew what her ‘husband’ was plotting to do, then she is an accomplice to the slaughter, and deserves the DEATH PENALTY!!!

    • neversink says

      Jun 15, 2016 at 9:46 am

      Absolutely correct!!!!

  11. Hope says

    Jun 14, 2016 at 7:14 pm

    Obama showed utter disdain and contempt for Americans’ objection to admitting Syrian refugees, so smug that we were “afraid of widows and orphans.” And once again we see that these muslim women are every bit as hateful and dangerous as the men. Let us never forget Tashfeen Malik, the San Bernardino terrorist, the one with the face you could cut a roast on. Malik and Salman both were/are mothers of young children. How disgusting. What kind of mother participates in mass murder? A spider is a better mother.

    • Carolyne says

      Jun 15, 2016 at 10:32 am

      In the animal kingdom, most mothers would give their lives for their children, yet these hags abandon them with glee, obeying the orders of their filthy husband or father. They are completely disgusting. And to repeat the familiar jargon from the left, i.e. Hillary and Obama, “That isn’t who we are.” We are not a people who disregard the safety and wellbeing of our children.

  12. Jeremiah says

    Jun 14, 2016 at 8:21 pm

    There must be serious consequences to withholding information about terrorists. Unless we get deadly serious, we are risking the lives of Americans. Capital punishment should be considered because a failing in this aspect of our duties could result in the deaths of thousands. Let us become realistic.

    • Carolyne says

      Jun 15, 2016 at 10:33 am

      “Realistic” is not in the vocabulary of Obama or Hillary Clinton. They live in a world where Allah rules, or if they don’t think Allah rules, they know Allah gives them a lot of money. And that’s who they are.

  13. Hindu American says

    Jun 14, 2016 at 8:32 pm

    Accessory to a Crime.

    A person charged with aiding and abetting or accessory is usually not present when the crime itself is committed, but he or she has knowledge of the crime before or after the fact, and may assist in its commission through advice, actions, or financial support.

    And thus the circle of Jihad continues, because that beautiful boy of theirs will most certainly go to the Father of the shooter. You can bet he is working on a way to leave USA with the child to go back to Afghanistan. So sad.

    • Carolyne says

      Jun 15, 2016 at 10:36 am

      Since she admits that she knew he was going to commit mass murder, according to the media, I’d say she certainly knew and helped him with his plans. I suspect that father of his, too, with his postings on the internet in support of ISIS. Why does Obama say “ISIL?” Is it some kind of code to his co-religionists? Something like “I don’t really mean it?”

      • quotha raven says

        Jun 15, 2016 at 5:03 pm

        To Carolyne, who asks “Why does Obama say “ISIL?”

        Because it INCLUDES ISRAEL in the geographic area it describes. L stands for Levant. ISIS, on the other hand, does not include Israel, the IS standing for Iraq and Syria. Consistently calling the area claimed by the terror group ISIL, as he always does, is Obama’s way of denigrating Israel, a way of being snide and insulting.

        The moniker the Muslims hate and feel insulted by for ISIS/ISIL is Daiesh (not sure of the spelling), so that’s what I use.

        Cheers!

    What an adorable little boy. I wonder what will happen to him if his mom is convicted as an accomplice? Will he be raised by his pro-Taliban grandfather? Maybe he’ll go into foster care, maybe even to a nice home with either two mommies or two daddies.

    Break the cycle of hate.

  17. KATHALEENA says

    Jun 15, 2016 at 5:59 am

    They should also be investigating the rest of his family, too. I’m sure they had a some knowledge of his vile and hideous plans to wipe out a few gays. He knew he was gonna go down and couldn’t wait for his 72 virgins. I hate Islam!!!

    • Carolyne says

    Jun 15, 2016 at 7:21 am

    A separate source told Fox News that Salman was cooperating with investigators and had shared information about her husband’s violent aspirations.

    After the attack? What difference does it make?

  19. neversink says

    Jun 15, 2016 at 9:34 am

    If she knew of a planned violent criminal act of terror and refused to tell authorities she should be arrested as a co-conspirtor to 49 counts of murder and 53 counts of attempted murder for those injured. Plus other related charges. In fact, the DA should have her arrested immediately.

  20. Cecilia Ellis says

    Jun 15, 2016 at 10:16 am

    A news clip just aired on FoxNews that showed Mateen’s wife being escorted by police to a police vehicle. One could not help but notice that she was wearing a hoodie that had the large number 86 emblazoned on the back. How appropriate! To eighty-six something means essentially to get rid of it.

    • Carolyne says

      Jun 15, 2016 at 10:38 am

      Maybe the number applies to herself. One can hope.

      • Cecilia Ellis says

        Agree wholeheartedly!

  21. linnte says

    Jun 15, 2016 at 11:06 pm

    I just watched a video of the father of this shooter. 1. He does not speak English after being here 28 or so years. 2. He said his son was a good boy and was surprised at his actions. 3. He said Allah would take care of all those homosexual boys and girls and it shouldn’t be a Muslim. Also, he called us Americans the “American people” clearly as though he did not include himself.
