“On Sunday night, a man identified as Mahad Abdiaziz Abdirahman, 20, of Minneapolis stabbed two men at the Mall of America after they tried to stop him from stealing clothes inside the dressing room at Macy’s.”
I didn’t post about this incident here at Jihad Watch because, contrary to false claims, this is not “Muslims Committing Crimes Watch,” it is Jihad Watch, and there was no indication that this stabber was on a jihad.
But here is a part of the story that is jihad-related: “While police identified the latest attacker as Mahad Abdirahman, the local Star-Tribune still was not reporting his name or background on Monday morning, referring to the man arrested only as ‘the suspect.'”
It’s true. I just searched the Star-Tribune website for Mahad Abdirahman. Nothing. Why not? Because Job One for the Star-Tribune, and the establishment media in general, is to make sure that no one has a negative view of Islam. Related to this is the media mission to make sure that no one thinks ill of Muslim migrants. Among those migrants, however, will inevitably be an unknowable number of jihad terrorists. So the Star-Tribune is contributing to ignorance and complacency about an issue that people need to know about, and is enabling more jihad activity.
“Somali charged in bloody stabbing at Mall of America,” by Leo Hohmann, WND, November 13, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
For the second time in just over a year, a Somali “refugee” has stabbed shoppers with a knife at a Minnesota mall.
The first case, on Sept. 17, 2016, was a clear act of jihad when Dahir Adan injured 10 people in the Macy’s at the Crossroads Center Mall in St. Cloud after asking his victims, chosen at random, if they were Muslim.
But on Sunday night, a man identified as Mahad Abdiaziz Abdirahman, 20, of Minneapolis stabbed two men at the Mall of America after they tried to stop him from stealing clothes inside the dressing room at Macy’s.
His middle name, Abdiaziz, means “the slave of Allah the master,” a native Arabic speaker told WND.
His first name, Mahad, means “the one who preaches and invites people to Islam.”
Abdirahman is a common Somali Muslim last name. It means “the slave of Allah who is the gracious.”
Bloomington Police Chief Jeff Potts said in a news conference that “the suspect went in and tried to take some property and, when confronted, he produced a knife and stabbed one man. Some family members assisted the victim and a second man sustained another knife wound.”
The first floor of the Macy’s store was temporarily closed after the incident.
KSTP reporter Beth McDonough reported heavy police presence at the mall Sunday night up to 10 p.m.
“The initial investigation has revealed that one of the victims returned to the dressing room after trying on clothing and found the suspect attempting to steal his personal property,” Bloomington Police said in a press release. “A confrontation ensued and the suspect pulled a knife and stabbed the victim. The second victim, who is related to the first, heard the confrontation and intervened and in doing so was also stabbed. The suspect received minor injuries from the victims while they disarmed him… Mahad Abdiaziz Abdirahaman, 20 years old from Minneapolis, is being held on 2 counts of 1st Degree Assault.”
While police identified the latest attacker as Mahad Abdirahman, the local Star-Tribune still was not reporting his name or background on Monday morning, referring to the man arrested only as “the suspect.”
Minnesota has the largest population of Somali refugees in the U.S., with numbers approaching 100,000, and Gov. Mark Dayton has told residents of the state that if they are not comfortable living among the refugees they “should find another state.”…

First they will find another town and after the state’s tax base becomes inadequate, requiring large tax increases, THEN they will move to another state.

Mohammed murdered and beheaded his victims in the market place in Medina. Pious Muslims must imitate Mohammed.
When Mahad Abdiaziz Abdirahman, 20, of Minneapolis stabbed two men at the Mall of America, it was not a random act, but an act of JIHAD in which Abdirahman imitated his BELOVED MENTOR, the pedophile pirate plunderer of Arabia.
Mahad Abdiaziz Abdirahman sees himself, no doubt, as a pious Muslim who is punishing the dirty kafirs and humiliating them. In so doing, he is a good, practicing, pious Mohammedan.
Sons of Liberty says
Exactly, Mortimer ! My question is what is it with MACY’S with these jihadists ? This guy was in the Macy’s robbing kafirs and stabbing people . Dahir Adan stabbed infidels in a MACY’S and I believe the Turkish Muslim who entered a mall North of Seattle, Washington and shot and killed 5 infidels was in a MACY’S store . Is there some significance in Macy’s name or what ? You never know with these jihadis . The Qur’an says to set ambushes for the unbelievers anywhere you find them but it seems Macy’s is their favorite spot. Maybe we should give Macy’s MORE STORE BUSINESS …JUST TO SPITE THEM .
Jack Diamond says
Dahir Adan starting his stabbing spree outside the Mall, he wasn’t specifically targeting Macy’s, though he ended up there. Arcan Cetin was in Macy’s to specifically kill infidel women in the cosmetics section. This Mahab was stealing clothes in Macy’s. It’s a large store and more of a high-end store, or maybe they just hate “Miracle on 34th Street” and the Thanksgiving Parade.
It’s really the Mall that is the focus here. Malls are the real targets here and abroad and will continue to be. Nothing (as organized as) the massacre at the Mall in Nairobi, Kenya has happened here yet, thankfully, but there’s not enough preventing it.
J'hn1 says
No, THIS Mahab was stealing personal goods from somebody else’s dressing room. “The initial investigation has revealed that one of the victims returned to the dressing room after trying on clothing and found the suspect attempting to steal his personal property,”
Likely a wallet and cell phone theft.
I have come to the belief that it should be mandatory to have a Federal immigration hearing after any other legal proceedings to revoke residency for Illegal Aliens, judicially imposed residency (parents of “anchor babies”) and Refugees when an activity that does reach the threshold where it COULD (but might not be due to prosecutor’s choice) be a felony.
Give the victims standing in criminal court, if the prosecutor doesn’t want to uphold those laws let the victim’s lawyers try and then have any fines go to the victims and victims lawyers. Oh, and allow liquidation of all assets held in the US towards any fines and legal costs.
Ed Lee says
There are at least a dozen verses in the Qur’an that describe the accumulation of wealth as extremely sinful. Macy’s is a place where people display their accumulated wealth by spending it on high dollar items. Muslim’s show their devotion to Allah and the Qur’an by attacking shopping malls, Macy’s, the World Trade Center (twice!). They hate economic success, and work to drag us down to their level rather than pull themselves up to ours.
gravenimage says
I don’t think there is anything specific to Macy’s. In many malls, Macy’s is just one of the large anchor stores, and so has more square footage than, say, Cinnabon does. I think this is the only reason we’ve seen Macy’s mentioned more than other shops.

Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
The photograph accompanying this article is telling. The Colin Kaepernick hairdo adopted by Mr. Abdirahman reminds us of the danger of brain concussions suffered by employees of the National Football League (NFL). But Mr. Abdirahman’s off-center zebibah reminds us of that brain damage is caused not just by collisions while playing football; another cause could be too-vigorous asymmetrical head-banging by Muslims at prayer. Perhaps Mr. Abdirahman’s inappropriate behavior is attributable to a brain lesion brought about by pious but misexecuted prayer.

Gov. Mark Dayton has told residents of the state that if they are not comfortable living among the refugees they “should find another state.”…
Why should the residents feel uncomfortable? Just a quick perusal of recent news…
“Over the past two years (2015) more than 20 {Somali} Americans {sic} from the Minneapolis area have traveled overseas to fight alongside terrorists under the Islamic State banner, according to the FBI.”
“Six young Somalis in Minnesota: “Abdullahi Yusuf, Zacharia Abdurahman, Hanad Musse, Abdirizak Warsame, Adnan Farah and Hamza Ahmed — have pleaded guilty to conspiring to travel to Syria to join ISIS,” Minnesota Public Radio reported in May.
“U.S. District Court Judge Michael Davis didn’t sugarcoat his words … as he sentenced three Minnesota men on terrorism charges,” KSTP reported in November:
“This was a jihadi cell,” Davis said firmly to the entire courtroom. “Everyone talks about Brussels or Paris having a cell; we have a cell in Minneapolis.”
“At least two of the 22 Minnesotan Somalis who joined al-Shabab have committed suicide bombings…
“Mohamoud Hassan {was} a chemical engineering student at the University of Minnesota voted “most friendly” by his high school classmates. Two years later, Hassan was dead in Mogadishu…”
“Amina Farah Ali, a woman from Rochester, Minnesota’s third-largest city, has been sentenced to 20 years on 13 terror-related counts. Her accomplice, Hawo Mohamed Hassan, was sentenced to ten years. Ali and Hassan went door-to-door in Rochester and the Twin Cities soliciting charity for Somalia’s poor. The money was then diverted to al-Shabab. On a wiretap used as evidence in the trial, Ali is heard saying, “let the civilians die,” to an al-Shabab operative in Somalia. After her conviction, Ali told the court, “I am very happy. I’m going to the heaven no matter [what] …. Also, you guys go to the hell…. We know God. We know justice. And also I’m very sorry for the one who doesn’t know God and who puts the injustice [on the people].” Nine others were sentenced on the same day as Ali and Hassan, while 18 more were charged with related crimes.”
“Somali refugee Dahir Adan attacked nine Americans with a knife at a mall in St. Cloud, Minn. before an off-duty police officer shot and killed him on Sept. 17, 2016.
Two months later Somali refugee Abdul Razak Ali Artan attacked 11 Americans with a knife and then a car on the campus of Ohio State University in Columbus before a campus police officer shot and killed him on Nov. 28, 2016.”
“Somali refugees are the most difficult to deal with. They are easily manipulated towards criminal activities, making it difficult to negotiate with them at times,” according to a United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees official working in Pakistan, who spoke with the Express Tribune in 2012.
Is there more for residents to worry about than Islamic-inspired terror attacks?
“In 2015, Minnesota authorities charged Somali man Ahmed Hersi Abdi with two first-degree sexual misconduct for allegedly raping a 10-year-old girl in her apartment.”
2016: “KSTP-TV reports that a female resident, who understandably remains anonymous for her protection, told the network that she and other locals were attacked by a mob of up to 30 Somali Muslim men on June 28. Police were called to the scene at around 9:30 a.m. after the mob of migrants showed up in front of citizens’ homes, yelling threatening comments and promising terrorist activity.
“They were screaming at the house that they were going to kidnap you and they were going to rape you,” one Minneapolis resident told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS. “It was a very traumatizing experience.”
According to the police report, between 20 and 30 young men descended upon a woman’s house threatening to kidnap and rape her. The migrants were reportedly driving their vehicles up over the curbs and onto the lawn while shooting off fireworks and screaming threats in the Lake Calhoun neighborhood.
The police report states that the men were yelling “jihad” and even told the female resident that the could kidnap, rape, and marry the already married woman because it was legal under “Shawra (Sharia) Law.” As expected, even the station that picked up the story somehow “missed” these references.”
But Minnesota residents, if you don’t like it, YOU can just leave. These Muslims are here to stay and are more wanted than you are. They don’t need to assimilate either, you do. So says Gov. Mark Dayton.

great summary JD,
when stated as you did, only the willfully delusional could fail to see the serious problem.
i was at Mall of America, for the day, in the mid 90’s. it was ok, but it sure wasn’t at all like the video a friend of mine just posted a couple days ago,
now it looks like a Caliph’s courtyard.
in fact, the short video showed an obvious LACK of “diversity”,
which of course we now know is the greatest virtue ever conceived of, and unquestionably the ultimate goal of all progressive and “inclusive” thinkers who insist it is the essence of Strength and will solve all the world’s problems, and anyone who disagrees is obviously a racist white supremacist.
but it’s so very odd that, with their superior EQ and sensitivity to any and all “microaggressions” and other such magical abilities that we islamophobic haters are certain to be incapable of;
that :
they are completely oblivious to what is unfolding before their eyes and seem utterly clueless that the real supremacist, hateful, and Exclusive “culture” is growing all around them, with their help, and that microaggressions will be the least of their worries when the critical mass is reached, the next time they are told if they don’t like it,
it will not be just a suggestion……

Often when the Jihadist is a convert to Islam, you don’t learn his Muslim name at all from the media, and come away thinking that some guy named “John Smith” or “Roy Jones” was screaming “Allahu Akbar!”.
Darryl Kerney says
that gives me an idea,
consider this,
genealogy is often complicated by repeated first names, with the males and females, making it hard to distinguish who was who, and we see that very same thing with islamic names, even more so. i think it will become a serious problem for L.E., just as it has been with the many shut down islamic orgs that change their names and keep on striving in the way of allah, when they’re all named mohammed the slave of allah, it’s going to get hard to figure out who is who, especially when “vetting” or investigating.
i can only hope i’m not the first to think of it…..

“I didn’t post about this incident here at Jihad Watch because, contrary to false claims, this is not “Muslims Committing Crimes Watch,” it is Jihad Watch, and there was no indication that this stabber was on a jihad.”
While most of your posts have some kind of link to Islam. Obviously if an attacker say “Allah hua akbar” when stabbing someone there is a link. However, youths of Moroccan origin are no different from youths of Canadian or British origin who go rioting, burn cars or get into fights if their team loses (2011 Vancouver riots anyone?). There is no link with Islam except that these kids are Moroccans and therefore all assumed to be Muslim and then some strange link is made with Islam as if the religion encourages violently celebrating soccer victories.
Jack Diamond says
Right, it has nothing to do with Islam if it obligates an attitude of hate and contempt for infidels, gives permission to take from them as if it is your due as a Muslim, makes it open season on their women (easy meat), orders you to be “ruthless” toward them, to never take them for friends or allies, and to behave like you are in “enemy territory” when you are living among them. That Islam encourages, not assimilation, but hostility toward the kaffir society.
That said, JW is careful to focus on self-evident jihad attacks and acts that further Islamic supremacism. The observable crime wave associated with a large Muslim presence, however, is yet another reason why life is worse with them and better without them.

If you haven’t spent any time in Minnesota, this might seem strange to you, but it’s really quite normal and the people accept it, in fact they embrace it. Of all the “left wing” places I’ve been, which are virtually every US city, including San Francisco and Chicago, the Twin Cities area is one of the most frightening examples of progressive policies gone mad that I’ve ever seen, and this crosses all government agencies, from school boards to the local police. It is actually quite common for wealthy white families in Minnesota to “adopt” someone of color and parade around with them in public. These rich white progs wish to prove to each other who is the most non-racist, which actually makes them racist, but they are too stupid to realize. Having an “Obama baby” (biracial grandchild or child) is the greatest achievement of this contest, even if it’s by means of rape. You can’t make this stuff up. You have to see it for your own eyes.
