Here is more of the usual denial and willful ignorance that we always get from authorities and the establishment propaganda media after a jihad attack. In reality, Abdul Artan referenced Anwar al-Awlaki and declared: “By Allah, I am willing to kill a billion infidels.” Yes, his motive is a real head-scratcher.
“Why Did He Do It? Motive Remains Unclear as FBI Doesn’t Rule Out Terror, Investigates Possible Facebook ‘Declaration’ By Somali Ohio State University Attack Suspect,” FoxNews.com, November 29, 2016:
Federal investigators are examining a Facebook post that may have been written by the Somali-born Ohio State University student who injured 11 people Monday when he plowed his car into a group of pedestrians, then attacked bystanders with a butcher knife, law enforcement sources told Fox News.
Abdul Artan, 18, was shot and killed by a university police officer shortly after he began his attack.
One law enforcement source described the Facebook post, written earlier Monday, as a “declaration” against unfair treatment of Muslims. Fox is told that authorities believe the post was made by the same Abdul Artan behind today’s attack at OSU, but have not yet confirmed it.
ABC News reported that the post read, in part, “I am sick and tired of seeing my fellow Muslim brothers and sisters being killed and tortured EVERYWHERE. … I can’t take it anymore.”
Law enforcement sources told Fox News that the FBI is combing through Artan’s digital history and devices to see if he had contact with any suspected terrorists and for any traces of terrorist propaganda….

Hopefully – hopefully, President Trump will at least call these dogs by their name, and begin to unravel the absolutely pathetic and dangerous state of affairs we find ourselves in, not just the US but around the world. I never, ever thought I’d see days like this of group-think delusion. We are living the Orwellian dystopia.
Georgia Hensel says
These savages kill in the name of their religion and expect us to open our hearts to accept their ideology. They should stop killing non Muslims and stay in their country where they can live by their laws. Marring 10 year old girls, beat their women. We will never accept your laws here. Stay in your country.
August West says
Until we have better leadership in key national security and foreign policy cabinate roles the best we can do is use Islamic attacks as teachable moments with family and friends.
Fox News coverage of this event has seemed lax to me. They may be moving to the center in a post Roger Ailes world in order to capture declining market share from CNN. Just a theory.
Anyway
This was clearly a jihadist attack. However, it will quickly become portrayed, by Fox, as an act of a non muslim which is at variance with islam and as yet another driver of discrimination against poor innocent muslims.
Trump’s response is also notably muted.
CAIR are deploying the the legal defense team right now.
The more things change the more they stay the same.

Call me a low-information person, or a live in the basement failure, or any other nomen use wish to apply- in my most ignorant stupidity I quit watching FOX, CNN, NPR, BBC, MSNBC, and all the other mainstream outlets. The results will not change. I watch OANN, read blogs such as this one, books, and my Bible. I work, I vote, and I pay my bills; I help others where I am able. And I speak the truth concerning world events, as best as I am able. I do my utmost to respect others, even when they disagree; I agree to disagree. Jesus is COMING! Heaven is True, and hell will be real. My two years behind the West Berlin wall, 82-84, taught me much about why and what America means. But life taught me even more about what Jesus as the Christ and Son of GOD, as God come in the flesh means! I cannot say I would stand in my faith if placed in a cage, set on fire, and lowered into the water- and till one is in the cage, burning and drowning, neither can anyone else! But I can say those who lowered that cage are pure evil- the kind that only an old serpent, the Devil, that Satan and fallen being once called Lucifer can inspire people to do such horrific acts. I am an American, I have served and worked to make my portion of America be right- and fair is best found in Jesus Christ! Thank you GOD for this nation, your Word, people who put their lives on the line to tell the truth, and living where I am free enough to not have to watch such trash as any of the main-stream outlets! God bless. terry
American Pragmatism says
“Motive remains unclear” — Fox you are too good for that PC BS. It is time to for actual truthful pragmatic reporting. A free press isn’t if they self-censor.
Johan elzinga says
I am confused. What is there that was no clear about his post? Fox didn’ t believe the post? FBI doesn’t think it was terror? Stabbing people and driving into a crowd was by mistake?
SAHANI says
OUR LEADERS OR FOOLS OR THEY MISLEAD MASSES. 1400 YRS AND WE ARE STILL WISHI WASH ISLAM. WHILE ISLAM IS CLEAR.
1. CONVERT ALL FOOLS POOR AND UNEDUCATED TO ISLAM
2, USE THIS ISLAMIC FORCE TO DESTROY THE WORLD AND PROTECT ARAB WORLD.
Demsci says
About Islam Being clear,
Well, to be sure, hundreds of millions of Muslims worldwide see it as clearly the was you describe it.
And that is enough to see it’s grave danger. I don’t deny that or responsibilities of religionchoice by Muslims.
But clear? oh, there is no Muslim who says Islam is unclear.
But scholars do say Islam is unclear, incomplete, contradictory, obsolete, because unchangeable etc.
And we give Islam way too much honour if we give it the compliment of being clear, while it is a mess.
Our own lawbooks, Which are updatable are much clearer!
Debi Brand says
The short on Islam and the clarity therein, on that, the consensus of the men of knowledge in Islam is this, in the words of Sahl at-Tustari: “Take what the Messenger brings you.” (59:7) (Ash-Shifa.)
Islam, for those who study it, is perfectly clear.

“ABC News reported that the post read, in part, ‘I am sick and tired of seeing my fellow Muslim brothers and sisters being killed and tortured EVERYWHERE. … I can’t take it anymore.'”
As Muslims are not being killed — except those involved in active terror attacks against soft targets — and tortured in the United States, and as President Obama has stated, “Moreover, the vast majority of terrorist victims around the world are Muslim,” perhaps Abdul Artan should have purchased an airline ticket to any number of Islamic hell-holes where his Muslim brothers and sisters are being slaughtered by Muslims.

Angemon says
That sack of s*** had to go well out of his way to play the victim, didn’t he? And, of course, he wasn’t talking about groups like ISIS or Boko Haram when he talked about his “brothers and sisters” being “tortured and killed” – no, it’s the people fighting against the likes of ISIS and Boko Haram that are allegedly “torturing and killing” muslims.
Mong says
I think he was just frustrated because of frustration. Should control guns though xoxoxo
JawsV says
The leftists will say anything rather than Jihad. Because then they’d have to admit that there’s a problem with Islam.
Westman says
Islam – the only religion that offers HIP, Houris In Paradise, and PH, Pass Hell, cards to any male Muslim who, “can’t take it anymore” and kills unbelievers while committing suicide. It’s a new version of the buddy system and should have a slogan, like, “Take a kafir with you”.
The media just can’t believe that anyone could be so indoctrinated that he would consider other unbelieving humans as worthless – because the media believes in absolutely nothing, with strong conviction, including their own nation.
The motive stares the media in the face, like a burning bush, and they refuse to recognize it because it would be recognition of their own moral weakness and unmotivating fecklessness.
Guest says
Et tu Fox News?
Santa Voorhees says
Yeah, of course, the motive unclear, despite the fact that the attacker said it very clear: I want to kill a billion infidels.
“I am sick and tired of seeing my fellow Muslim brothers and sisters being killed and tortured EVERYWHERE. … I can’t take it anymore.”
That part is a complete joke.
Muslims have done the very same thing for 1400 years.
It is written in the Quran, Hadiths etc… Isis, Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups are simply doing what’s written there.
But it seems it never gets into the brain of leftists and…. wait! Do they have a brain in the first place? Because I highly doubt it.
Stan Lee says
Fox News is attempting to show CNN how it’s done, and I mean lose viewership as if there was a plague !
When Roger Ailes left, Fox News lost any sense of direction. Too bad, there was plenty of good talent there, but it is prisoner to censors/editors now. An exception could be Fox Business News, which covers without superfluous fanfare.
I was a Fox viewer, but wandered away and in the process of wandering, discovered One America News Network. It is strictly news, that once was the Fox News mission, until the theatrics and collusion with the Obama Regime infected Fox.
Fortunately, my cable TV provider has OANN as a news provider, because straight news is what they’re about, and they do not broadcast the Obama Regime propaganda.
I was fortunate that my cable co. has OANN, some other networks do not., but if subscribers insist on having it as an alternative, then cable operators could sign that news network.

Solution is outlawing cars and machetes so people can not use them to kill others. What do you think? The other solution is never say the words Islam,muslim, jihad.
All will be fine. Yes I am a liberal. I lost my senses.

This just a good old muslim boy being a muslim boy. Heck, this what those folks of the religion of peace do. husein obama says let’s bring a bunch more in. They are just doing what their good book tells them to do.
