Cue the stories about how this has nothing to do with Islam, and about how local mosques are now fearing an “Islamophobic backlash.”
“5 Investigates: Suspect in Boston police shooting wrote of Islamic ‘rebirth,’ had several aliases,” WCVB, October 13, 2016 (thanks to Robert):
BOSTON —5 Investigates uncovered six aliases used by Kirk Figueroa, the man killed by Boston police after he shot two officers on Wednesday night in East Boston.
He took on an alias as he experienced what he called an Islamic “rebirth” in Africa.
The aliases, along with his seeming obsession with police and security, help make Figueroa a picture of contradictions and confusion: a 33-year-old man who started companies in Florida and other states focused on security and protection who yesterday nearly killed two police officers responding to a domestic violence call.
5 Investigates uncovered a job posting for “Police Protection” for one of those companies, Bailrunners. In it, Figueroa identifies himself as Muhummed Isa Al Mahdi. The ad said Al Mahdi was looking for people interested in helping him “hunt down fugitives and bring them to justice.”
5 Investigates also discovered a posting from Muhummed Isa on a website guide for mosques from October 2012. Isa wrote about his “rebirth as a baby into the Nation of Islam” following a trip to an area of Ethiopia and a mosque in South Africa.
Isa went on, writing that his unique and blessed journey was prepared and guided by Allah.
Most recently, Figueroa was using the name Kocoa Xango on social media, identifying himself as a police constable. His last post under that name came just a few hours before the fatal shooting, posting a video by Michelle Obama and then a picture of himself after getting a haircut….

Where was the FBI ….??
Hindu American says
Is the police looking for a motive….?
PRCS says
They already know the motive.
They just can’t admit what it is in public.
Angemon says
In a special re-education camp, where they learn that islam has nothing to do with violence and that only bigots, racists, hate-mongers and islamophobes say otherwise.
Kristin says
I think you need to read the Koran
Kristin says
The motive is because the shooter was influenced by Islam. It promotes killing nonbelievers and infindels.
Emilie Green says
“Alright, class, now repeat after me, “This had nothing to do with Islam.”
“There, doesn’t everyone feel better?”
CrossWare says
I do! Another successful victory those who bullied in schools and suppressed by the white devils…
Am I going to get a treat now? Am I? Am I? Was I good? Am I a good person? Am I a good girl? Where is my treat?! 🙂

Another Islamic Radical Mental Illness…
Undaunted says
BPD Officer Morris, presumably the chubby one in the pictures, shows us again the poor physical state of too many of the people we expect to protect us. Before and after the Boston Marathon bombing in ’13, BPD and Watertown PD ~ and just about every LE agency in that area ~ fucked up when they turned their backs on the citizens of Watertown and went to aid a wounded officer instead of pursuing Dz Tsarnaev, who they knew to be armed and extremely dangerous. As well, MIT Officer Collier fucked up when he sat on his fat ass sipping a drink and ended up with his brains all over the inside of his patrol rig because he was such an unprofessional, chunky, non-warrior ~ though Governor Patrick called him “a true hero…” ~ that he let the Tsarnaev brothers get the drop on him. Instead of looking for the bad-guys right after the bombing, the BPD Chief had his guys with slick M4 ARs delivering milk to the citizens of Boston.
This is the kind of “warrior” force you’re depending on, America. Hey, I love cops; I used to be a cop, but there are too few warriors out there these days. There are an unknown number of jihadi assholes out there and we pretty much don’t know who or where they are… do we?
Time to man up, boys and girls.
Allan says
American cops protect the bipartisan mafia and serve their racketeering. Without cops, lawyers could not rule but with muscle they hire directly. Without cops to support the politicians, those looters would have to make do with far less tax loot. Without cops, civilized males and females would have to be men and women, not children and sheep. Without cops, social power would increase at the expense of insatiable go-getters and leftist college professors. Without cops, we would still have ghettos of incorrigible savages—but maybe not indefinitely as is the case now.
Pass the word to your friends and acquaintances who are still cops that their reputation as “heroes” is far from secure.
Sheykh Yer Weeni says
Undaunted, I will not ask where you live, but it sounds like you are familiar with my hometown. I am also perturbed that the police are not fit and able to pursue people like Dzhokar Tsarnaev. Remember Beslan, 2004? All those children and teachers…They said you could hear the screams of girls they took into another room…Filthy Chechens.
Filthy Islam, spreading the blood of innocents for 1400 years, yet having the audacity to promote itself as a “Religion of Peace”: may the grave of Muhammad become a place for the slaughter of swine. May the masjids of Islam all become like Egyptian ruins.
These are examples of why Islam is the worst ideology in history:
Sahih Muslim 41.6904: “Allah brought the ends of the earth close together for my [Muhammad’s] sake. And I have seen its eastern and western ends. And the dominion of my Ummah [Nation] reached those ends” [added]
Qur’an 9.29: Fight those who believe not in Allah nor in the Last Day, nor forbid that which Allah and His Messenger have forbidden, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.”
These poor police officers, wounded severely in the line of duty, owe their grief to Muhammad and his foaming-at-the-mouth followers. There are only two kinds of Muslims in this world, from an Infidel’s point of view: there are Muslims who want Islam to dominate the world, and those who do not obey Muhammad.
Undaunted says
I am fully aware of the horror inflicted on innocents at Beslan. The Russian Spetsnaz responded on day 3 in a way that, though brutal to some pussy cop leaders in this country, was proper and the model which all US police should follow when Muslim assholes pull the pin in our American Beslan… soon.
Undaunted says
It gets worse. COPS (Community Oriented Policing Services – a DOJ program) recently came out with its review of the response by San Bernardino PD et al to the IRC terrorist attack. In their report they laud the first officer to arrive on scene, Lieutenant Mike Madden, for quickly getting together entry teams and going after the shooters two minutes after his arrival. You can listen to the dispatch tapes from SBPD and quickly determine that claim is a bald-faced lie. Madden did not enter the building for more than six minutes after his arrival, and it actually may have been more like nine minutes before this “hero” and his posse finally went in.
We are being told lies, people.
davej says
It is hardly surprising that Islam is attractive to criminals, psychopaths, the deranged, sexual deviants, the bitter and the resentful. It “empowers” them to act out all their complaints and macabre violent fantasies while giving them a blessing of fake holiness and the ultimate promise of a heroic martyrdom with free wine and women forever.
This false “religion” should be banned from all prisons, mental hospitals and general society.
David says
I agree a thousand percent. It’s not “really” a Religion. And thus has NO CONSTITUTIONAL PROTECT.
The sooner more Citizens realize this fact, the safer we will all be.
After all, NAZISM wasn’t a “religion” now, was it???
They are both the same!
Al Fabeech says
I sorry. I saw this story no where else. Does anyone remember about the guy who wanted to behead Pamela Geller, than attacked the police and was shot dead? There was a connection to the Marathon bombers? Is there a restriction for News reaching the Midwest from certain areas of the Northeast if it’s Islamophobia?
Champ says
islamic “rebirth” is tantamount to demonic possession …
Will Richards says
Obama is responsible for much of this crap, since at every opportunity he’s telling anyone who’ll listen what a “peaceful” religion Islam is. Perhaps someone ought to ask him when exactly in Islam’s history, has it ever been peaceful? It remains as demanding, intolerant, oppressive, and violent today as it always was, and every civilised country needs to eradicate it before it eradicates us
f c king says
The sad fact is that after enough of these islamic attacks against non believers, in non muslim countries have occurred, there truly will be cause for “islamaphobic actions ” , and very rightly so.
Islam must be put on a very short leash, before it gets any more out of control.
Ed Grimley says
More like Islamonausea or Islamo-I’ve had enough of your 7th century BS so fit in of F-off(ia)
Ed Grimley says
Oh c’mon. The poor guy was feeling isolated and marginalized. I mean who wouldn’t go on a shooting rampage and kill two cops in such a confused and oppressed state of mind? (Other than the rest of the non-Muslim world I mean).
Kay says
Interesting. But not a huge surprise.
The news report I saw didn’t give his race, show a picture, tell of his Islamic connection or give any of this background. It only said he had body armor. I would think it was a different case except I wondered what was being hidden about his background and did a search on the origin of the name Figueroa.
Now the pattern is clearer, including the enormity of omissions by the mainstream news, leaving blanks to fill in with whatever insinuations they’re pushing.
utis says
Muhammad Isa al-Mahdi. Muhammad Jesus al-Mahdi. Since the names weren’t foisted on him by idiot parents, the choice of names alone would send out alarm signals if the authorities had a clue about Islam and didn’t just swallow the PR from CAIR.
This clown was a grandiose nut, but that didn’t mean his religion didn’t compound the craziness. And the poor cops were called in on a domestic; he was probably just disciplining his house slave. Didn’t they know that’s his right under Islam? Sheesh!
duj swami says
The ‘media’ enables jihad by protecting the identity, and motives, of the jihadist…
Trump is right, most of the media have gone to the dark side and can no longer be trusted…
Dom107 says
It amazes me that many black people think Islam is “their religion” when the truth is this religion practiced by Arabs in Sudan was behind the slave trade in Africa and today mistreats cruelly black people in northern Nigeria, Chad and elsewhere..
No one should need the “crutch” of religion but the already mentally disturbed are the most vulnerable and will be used by the prime movers of this evil cult !
Dov Berrol says
The “mainstream” media is suffering from severe “Stockholm Syndrome” as they cower in the face of Muslim intimidation and hide any reference to this killer’s Islamic identity. They are all afraid of getting slaughtered by angry and offended Muslims as happened to the journalists at Charlie Hebdo in Paris.
So much for a “free press.” Why are JihadWatch readers the only ones seeing a pattern here?
Lorensacho says
it’s hugely regrettable that killing policemen has entered into the U.S. culture in the same way as going postal as the way out for rejected and mentally ill men. This can only happen in a country that is saturated with guns. The two policemen who were killed in Palm Springs were shot with armor piercing bullets. Are these really needed in the U.S.A., and please don’t give me that BS about the Second Amendment? Until America comes to its senses, we will continue to suffer tens of thousands unnecessary murders a year.
Carole Kotkiewicz says
The criminals will always have guns.
pennant8 says
Wait,,what? A liberal Boston TV station actually actually produced this story. I live there, This is amazing, a first, I am impressed.
Praeceptor Maximus says
We live in horrific times with the sword of Islam hanging literally over our heads, but the mainstream media is more concerned with Trump’s use of vulgar words or the unsubstantiated words of two women whom supposedly Trump groped 35 years ago. WTF!
Ric says
The west’s capitulation to Islam is in top gear; this is just another step towards our end.
Eric Allen Bell says
Does Islam Deserve INTOLERANCE?
DustyFae says
A lot of anti- Americans are wearing hats like these some are black, some are blue but all are anti-Americans
Buford says
This Creep should have been kicked out long before he killed the cops just shows what the end results of believing in demonic Garbage like the Quran does it also demonstrates what inner
weakness anybody would have to believe in to think anything in the Quran has an ounce of validity.
