Jihad Watch

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

Minnesota mall jihad stabber’s favorite book was…the Qur’an

Sep 18, 2016 7:45 pm By Robert Spencer

From Dahir A. Adan’s Facebook page:

The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack. One might almost get the crazy idea that this attack had something to do with Islam, if we didn’t have our moral superiors to assure us otherwise.

“Somali Father IDs Son As St. Cloud Mall Attacker,” CBS Minnesota, September 18, 2016:

ST. CLOUD, Minn. (WCCO) — The family of the man who stabbed nine people at a central Minnesota mall has identified him as a 22-year-old college student.

Family members say Dahir A. Adan, the suspect in the stabbings, died at Crossroads Center mall in St. Cloud. His family police didn’t mention the attack on the mall, but they seized photos and other materials from the family’s apartment….

Ahmed Adan, who is Somali, says his son came to the U.S. 15 years ago and was was a student at St. Cloud Technical and Community College.

The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the attack.

    Favorite book and only book, the one that all Muslims read, revere and follow, including the “moderates”.

    Hate speech and murder threats used to be illegal and punishable in this country – what happened?

    “Photos and other material at the family’s apartment”. Why do we only hear about this after the attacks?

    Mom, Dad?

      And their mosque imam brain washes them with this hate-murder manual!!

    Well. He read it well then:

    Qur’an 9:29—Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, from among the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

    Qur’an 5:51—O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other.

    Qur’an 9:73—O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them.

    Qur’an 9:111—Surely Allah has bought of the believers their persons and their property for this, that they shall have the garden; they fight in Allah’s way, so they slay and are slain.

    Qur’an 9:123—O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness.

    Qur’an 47:35—Be not weary and fainthearted, crying for peace, when ye should be uppermost.

    Qur’an 48:29—Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves.

    Oh yes where would they be without Quran?? Probably in a better place than in Islamic hell!!

  4. Jerry says

    Sep 18, 2016 at 8:22 pm

    How did I wish I had a Qur’an readyly available just now,
    preferably printed on suitable absorbent paper and
    conveneintly perforated as I could easily make the
    best possible use of it!

  5. Jerry says

    Sep 18, 2016 at 8:26 pm

    I noticed a former Muslim blogging and
    immediately question how do you best
    a new convert to Islam.

    Surely it must be former human!

    Well, of course it was, and he took the verses literally…which would make it…GASP…ISLAM!!! I would venture to say that mommy and daddy dearest are celebrating Jr’s “martyrdom” behind closed doors.

      “Got Jihad?”

    Mmmmmmmmmmhm..

  8. Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says

    Sep 18, 2016 at 9:19 pm

    The headline says that the mall stabber [1] was a jihadi, and [2] his favorite book was the Quran. Where does this information come from? The article says nothing of the kind; it doesn’t even say that he’s a Muslim.

    Also, “His family police didn’t mention the attack on the mall” is puzzling. Mr. Adan has hired family police?

    This whole report is vague and garbled.

      Sep 19, 2016 at 1:42 am

      His Facebook page

      There’s a section for favorite movies, Music, books….etc.
      the Quran is there with no other books.

    What a surprise I thought his favourite book was something that has nothing to do with Islam the religion of peace and compassion.

    • Wellington says

      Sep 18, 2016 at 10:02 pm

      Disgusting work, epistemology. As I have indicated before it is part of Islam’s unholy trinity——-the fiction which is Allah, the psychopath who was Mohammed, and the hate manual which is the Koran.

      Stay safe and well, my friend, in a world made far worse most everywhere because of Islam.

      • epistemology says

        Sep 19, 2016 at 7:17 am

        Spot on dear friend, without sarcasm life has become unbearable. Wish I could talk about nicer things with you. Don’t let Islam spoil your life.

        All the best to you and enjoy the better parts of life.

    YES! My Sister thought a NON-Muslim had gone on a Muslim killing spree! I kid you not. She had returned from a short trip and didn’t know about the mall-attack and thought I said that someone was killing Muslims in a mall. She has been conditioned my the Leftist-dominated media to think that will occur.

    The thing is, IT WILL OCCUR, if this problem isn’t solved soon. If those who are responsible for protecting us don’t, then there WILL be a “backlash” but it will BE self-defense.

      ………………………

      Good grief. Unfortunately, I think we all have loved ones in deep denial about the violence of Islam, scherado–who would rather blame their own fellow Infidels than to acknowledge what is happening.

      I hope your sister eventually wakes up.

      • epistemology says

        Sep 19, 2016 at 8:13 am

        Unfortunately you’re right and it takes such a long time to wake people up. We’ve got a hard job to do and when you watch the news you know why. Whenever you watch the media BBC, CNN, TV5, French or German TV, what have you, they always tell you fairy tales about the religion of peace and the bad Westerners. Thank G’d there is there’s Robert and his team.

        • aDhimmiSaysWhat? says

          Sep 19, 2016 at 5:43 pm

          It’s not just the liberal media either. It’s all msm . I just heard Shepherd Smith on Fox News talk about how these terrorists are ‘bastardizing’ a great religion. This thinking has even worked it’s way onto Fox News!

      • scherado says

        Sep 19, 2016 at 8:15 am

        Thank you, but it is my second paragraph that is more important. My Sister is correct in the sense that such a thing WILL happen if the “protectors” don’t protect. Is it possible that you are in denial about this point?

        • gravenimage says

          Sep 19, 2016 at 8:26 pm

          scherado–with all respect–the idea that civilized Infidels are poised to indiscriminately kill Muslims is something that those who hate the free West push, not something that we are actually apt to do.

          Muslims and leftists are always whining that we are the ones threatening Muslims–I don’t consider countering this false calumny about “backlash” to prove that I am “in denial”.

          It is simply fact that we are not doing this, nor is anyone calling for it.

  11. Eric Jones says

    Sep 18, 2016 at 10:50 pm

    This is another of the Somali Muslims Obama is intent on flooding the country with. The majority of the Somali’s favor Sharia. Before his term ends obama wants to bring in Muslims untile their number is large enough to start demanding Sharia in the USA. Trump is right. End Muslim immigration and visas now.

    Muslim teens like to hang out at the mall – it is a target-rich arena.

    Seriously, are we going to hand over our streets, workplaces, parks, schools and nightclubs to the jihadi soldiers without even a whisper of protest?

    America was founded by the likes of Jefferson, who clearly recognized the threat in his day. Are we now just going to surrender to the traitorous Left and their pet “immigrants”?

    Minnesota mall jihad stabber’s favorite book was…the Qur’an
    ………………………………

    And it’s not just his favorite book–it is the *only* book listed.

    Many young men his age are reading thrillers, horror, books like Fight Club or Game of Thrones, and graphic novels of all stripes.

    Not Dahir A. Adan–the Qur’an was it.

    More:

    The family of the man who stabbed nine people at a central Minnesota mall has identified him as a 22-year-old college student.
    ………………………………

    A college student–what happened to the idea that Jihadists were always poverty stricken and without any prospects? Minneapolis is an emerging tech hub, with good prospects for graduates from tech colleges.

    But this pious Mohammedan preferred to stab people for the Islamic State than build any kind of future.

    A country, which brings in crowds of people from a country where crowds revel in dragging dead American soldiers on ropes around their city, is in dire peril.

    The Nice Attack was a Muslim
    The Paris Attacks were Muslims
    The Shoe Bomber was a Muslim

    The Beheadings, stabbings, live burnings, & drownings by Muslims
    The Piracy off the Barbary Coast in T. Jefferson’s time were Muslims
    The Daily inhumane acts by the religion of peace, Islam- the Muslims
    (Forgive this poor attempt to list all Muslim attrocities in recent history)

    In which communities do people seem to play nice?
    Hindus living with Jews = No Problem
    Sikhs living with Hindus = No Problem
    Baha’is living with Jews = No Problem
    Jews living with Atheists = No Problem
    Hindus living with Baha’is = No Problem
    Christians living with Jews = No Problem
    Jews living with Buddhists = No Problem
    Buddhists living with Sikhs = No Problem
    Shintos living with Atheists = No Problem
    Hindus living with Christians = No Problem
    Buddhists living with Hindus = No Problem
    Baha’is living with Christians = No Problem
    Christians living with Shintos = No Problem
    Buddhists living with Shintos = No Problem
    Atheists living with Buddhists = No Problem
    Confusians living with Hindus = No Problem
    Confucians living with Baha’is = No Problem
    Shintos living with Confucians = No Problem
    Atheists living with Confucians = No Problem

    Where in the world does the poo always seem to hit the fan?
    Muslims living with Jews = Problem
    Muslims living with Sikhs = Problem
    Muslims living with Hindus = Problem
    Muslims living with Baha’is = Problem
    Muslims living with Shintos = Problem
    Muslims living with Atheists = Problem
    Muslims living with Christians = Problem
    Muslims living with Buddhists = Problem
    Muslims living with other Muslims = Problem

    So what are some Muslim Social Clubs?
    ISIS: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
    Ansaru: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
    Hamas: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
    Taliban: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
    Al-Badr: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
    Al-Nusra: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
    Al-Qaeda: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
    Hezbollah: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
    Abu Sayyaf: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
    Boko Haram: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
    Islamic Jihad: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
    Lashkar-e-Taiba: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
    Jemaah Islamiyah: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
    Muslim Brotherhood: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
    Palestine Liberation Front: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION
    Abdullah Azzam Brigades: AN ISLAMIC TERROR ORGANIZATION, etc.

    Now let’s reason together whether or not we should allow millions of
    Muslims to immigrate to the US. Hmmm, a real stumper, huh?

      Quite a list, jim mayer. Damning as all get out. May I suggest you send it to your Congressman, to your Senators, to Paul Ryan the Speaker of the House and to Mitch McConnell, the Senate Majority Leader. Forget sending it to the Bozo in the White House. He’s beyond learning, whether out of massive ignorance or actual complicity.

      And no need to ask forgiveness for an incomplete list of Muslim atrocities since there have been over 29,000 since 9/11. Yours is more than adequate and I thank you for it.

    We get the same response in Canada, our media vaguely reports on it and of course our new Muslim Prime Minister is being trained by Obummer, Cameron and Merkel, and the Quoran, 3 more years of destruction to our country! They just keep insulting our intelligence and trying our patience! I sure hope Trump wins your election, Le Pen wins France election.

      Do you realize that Trudeau went to a mosque on September 12th to commemorate some Muslim holiday but did not go too a service on 9/11. In my books this is a grave injustice to the 25 Canadians who died on that day and the the other thousands who gave up their lives. I didn’t vote for him and he is an embarrassment to our beautiful country.

    People do not read Mickey Mouse and then go out stabbing other people and shouting “Mickey is great”. The Islamists are racist, bigoted, barbaric, misoginic but they have done a great job of infiltration and disinformation and the political leaders of the West have no clue of the foe they are facing. We are left to fend for ourselves with authorities purging intelligence files and personnel because of “Islamophobia” and protecting poor Muslims from imaginary backlash

    One favorite book on his Facebook, one picture one book. It says it all, a picture really is worth a 1000 words. And in this case 8 stabbings too. Islam strikes again.
