Ohio State University jihad attacker: Muslim “refugee” Abdul Artan

Nov 28, 2016 1:59 pm By Robert Spencer

UPDATE: Abdul Artan was the jihad attacker; he used Mohamed Ali’s car.

———-

The solution? Bring in more “refugees”! What could possibly go wrong?

“Drake provides update after attacker killed on campus,” by Dave Biddle, Ohio State 247 Sports, November 28, 2016:

UPDATE at 1:30 p.m. — OSU president Michael Drake and members of the law enforcement and medical communities addressed the media moments ago regarding the incident that occurred this morning on the north side of campus.

Nine people were injured when a man ran into pedestrians with his car on West 19th Avenue near campus drive. The driver exited the vehicle with a butcher knife and started attacking victims.

Almost instantaneously, an OSU police officer arrived at the scene and ordered the suspect to surrender. When the driver did not comply, the officer shot and killed the driver. His identity was not immediately available. There is also no report on what may have been his motive. Police believe he may have been acting alone.

CBS news has reported that the suspect was a 20-year-old Somali man. The car was reportedly registered to Mohamed Ali.

The attack occurred outside of Watts Hall at West 19th, just west of College. Watts Hall had been evacuated previously because of a report of a gas leak. It’s unclear if that was related to the attack.

Nine people were transported to area hospitals. Ohio State’s Wexner Medical Center treated five patients: two were stabbed, two were hit by the car and one who hid after the attack and just arrived. The last victim’s injuries were being assessed.

Two victims with lacerations were taken to OhioHealth Grant Medical Center. Two victims who were struck by the car were taken to OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital.

The attack reportedly occurred at 9:52 a.m. An “active shooter” alert was sent to OSU students, staff and faculty moments later at 9:55 a.m.

Later in the morning, the university said the scene is secure and that all classes are canceled on campus. The shelter-in-place order was lifted at 11:14 a.m., but more than a dozen buildings remain closed.

Here were some of President Drake’s comments:

“The driver got out and used a weapon to cut several people, who were then transported to local hospitals,” Drake said. “I want to give our thoughts and hopes and prayers to all of those who were injured for a speedy recovery.

“We prepare for situations like this but always hope to never have one. We will be able to go and visit the people who were injured later this afternoon.

“I want to commend our OSU police and other police agencies who responded quickly to the situation. They kept something that was very unfortunate from being something that was much worse.”

OSU public safety director Monica Moll said within one minute of the report of the incident an OSU police officer had arrived on the scene.

“He engaged the suspect who had gotten out of the vehicle after hitting pedestrians,” Moll said. “The suspect had cut multiple individuals. The officer engaged the suspect and shot and killed the suspect.”…

    NOW WE GET TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT PRESIDENT-ELECT TRUMP WILL SAY ABOUT THIS — VERSUS WHAT ISLAM LOVING OBAMA WILL COME UP WITH IN THE WAY OF EXCUSES.

    +++++++++++++++ PERFECT TIMING ++++++++++++++++

      Perfect indeed. I’m so glad Trump will become President and really hope it will change the western world for good.

      At the very moment some of the most popular swiss media allow me to comment Trump-bashing articles but not the one concerning the shooting. It’s very common practice in Europe to “censor” by deactivating comments to articles deemed “sensitive”.

        Sensitive? What happened with reporting news? Let me decide what’s sensitive. What they are doing is censoring news.

          Like, seriously dude? Have you looked into their track record? Without Saddam and his gradual islamization of Iraq there would be no ISIS today.

    ‘Trump to meet again with (“Jihadism is not Islam”) Romney amid State talks’
    BY JONATHAN SWAN – 11/28/16 10:51 AM EST

    On this one, Kellyanne Conway is right on the mark. If the President-elect picks Mitt Romney as his Secretary of State or any high profile foreign policy / national security position, it would be (in my opinion) the first stumble he will have made in shaping his administration.

    My ideals, my sanity, they seem to be deserting me
    But to stand up and fight I know we have six million reasons

    They’re burning down the synagogues, Uzis on a street corner
    The heralds of the holocaust, Uzis on a street corner
    The silence never louder than now, how quickly we forgot our vows
    This resurrection we can’t allow, Uzis on a street corner

    Where do we go from here[?]…

      May claim dismay and shock, but will be assured. Her son has cleared a landing in paradise for herself and other family.

      The family is probably celebrating his “martyrdom.”

      Maybe that’s “martyr? dumb!”

    Expect a statement from Obama shortly explaining this attack as a response to Trump induced Islamophobia…

  7. JawsV says

    “CBS news has reported that the suspect was a 20-year-old Somali man. The car was reportedly registered to Mohamed Ali.”

    Obama let him in.

    .The left wing organisations and ‘migrant’ students from middle east and Islamic countries like Pakistan or Afghanistan are making much noises against the president elect Trump. in almost all universities in America. But All university students should understand that Hussein Obama, Hillary and her Huma Abdein were trying to make America a safe heaven for Islamic “refugee” terrorists.

    Another “investigation for the reason of the attack” will fill the news all over with no mention of Islam, as we all know it here in JW

      I watched Sheppard Smith say(sic) “We don’t want to jump to conclusions as to the motive for the attack” Really? Somali guy mows down people with car and then jumps out and attacks students with butcher knife.Hmmm…. Wanted to pledge frat and was rejected? Rabid Michigan fan?

  12. Eric says

    Nov 28, 2016 at 3:05 pm

    I am a Christian/Catholic and hate Jihad and Islamic terrorists just as much as everybody else. But we cannot hate Muslims because of it. I do agree with not letting any refugees in the country because stuff like this will happen. We can not vet them all. to hate all Muslims is the same thing that those terrorists are doing to us. It’s not right. I believe Donald Trump is right to close the borders and keep refugees out but we cannot hate the other side of the world because of the very small percentage of Muslims that are radicalized.

    • Rev g says

      Nov 28, 2016 at 4:31 pm

      So true! And it is equally wrong to paint all pedophiles or KKK members with a broad brush. Surely many are such people in name only, inactive, it is just their heritage or upbringing. Their calling themselves such labels, voluntarily, should in no way apply to our judgement of them!
      Relax, I am kidding. Muslims, by ideology, want me converted, subjugated, or dead. I cannot excuse those who belong to such ideologies.

    I am glad the cops killed this slimy P O S to all the Idiots that think this is an Isolated incident & lone wolf or Mentally Ill BS I have a news flash if you allow these creeps to continue to come here this will only increase & get worse & I am sick & tired of the BS I have Mooslem neighbors & they are so nice yeah right & I have the map to the Lost Dutchman Mine total BS

    Kellyanne Conway is right. Romney is an apologist for Islam.

    Almost instantaneously, an OSU police officer arrived at the scene and ordered the suspect to surrender. When the driver did not comply, the officer shot and killed the driver.

    Thank God for men with guns…

    I’m sure the mainstream media will soon have the story re-written to something like:

    Young international minority student on financial needs-based award may have been injured when he lost control of the car he was driving. Once safely out of the accident vehicle, the vulnerable student was shot dead by police who later confirmed that the student was not in possession of a gun. Concerns are rising that he may have said something relating to his faith that triggered the officer to shoot out of racism. Fears of an Islamophobic backlash have caused the local American Muslim community to feel unsafe in their neighborhood and there may be calls for a peaceful protest in memory of the slain student. The unnamed officer will be placed on administrative leave during an official inquiry into the crime. So far, there are no indications that the FBI or Department of Justice will intervene to determine whether race was a factor in this police shooting of a minority student in the campus area.

    • Rev g says

      Nov 28, 2016 at 8:33 pm

      Of course! He was confused from the impact of the accident, didn’t even realize he had the knife, was trying to make sure everyone was ok.

    Ho-Humm!

    Another Muzzie gone Bonkers and it was really bad but not as bad as it could have been or will be, after we figure out what was really all that bad about it, given how bad everybody else in America already is, compared to us, who are too good to see anything all that bad in it, to begin with.

    Or, something like that.
