The driver was “Khalil Lawal, 31, of Arlington, Virginia.” Khalil Lawal of Arlington, Virginia, 31, has a Facebook page (doubtless it will soon be taken down). He is a member of the group Jannah Al-Firdaus, which says: “Jannah [Paradise] is my Goal My happiness is my Imaan [faith] and my Imaan [faith] is in my heart and my heart doesn’t belong to anyone but Allaah:)♥ In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful Alsalam Alaykum…”
“Investigators say Lawal apparently tried to use his black Honda hit a person who had just gotten out of a car. Then, on foot, Lawal chased another person who had tried to detain him, and then charged at the off-duty officer after he approached, leading to a violent struggle.”
Last June, the Islamic State published a poster depicting an SUV driving over a heap of skulls and bearing the legend “Run Over Them Without Mercy.”
And the Islamic State issued this call in September 2014:
So O muwahhid, do not let this battle pass you by wherever you may be. You must strike the soldiers, patrons, and troops of the tawaghit. Strike their police, security, and intelligence members, as well as their treacherous agents. Destroy their beds. Embitter their lives for them and busy them with themselves. If you can kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State, then rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be….If you are not able to find an IED or a bullet, then single out the disbelieving American, Frenchman, or any of their allies. Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or run him over with your car, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him….
“The struggle between the suspect and the officer was caught on video, Commissioner Richard Ross said during a news conference late Monday. However, he said he was concerned about the number of shots the detective fired.”
Is the detective about to be made a scapegoat for the “Islamophobic” crime of stopping this jihadi?
“Driver shot, killed by off-duty officer in South Philadelphia ID’d,” WPVI, January 30, 2018 (thanks to Orange Martyrs):
SOUTH PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — Philadelphia police have released the name of the driver who was shot and killed by an off-duty officer on Monday in South Philadelphia.
Khalil Lawal, 31, of Arlington, Virginia, was pronounced dead a few hours after the shooting.
It all began around 7:30 a.m. Monday near Broad and Bigler streets.
Chopper 6 was over the scene of an officer-involved shooting in South Philadelphia on January 29, 2018.
Investigators say Lawal apparently tried to use his black Honda hit a person who had just gotten out of a car.
Then, on foot, Lawal chased another person who had tried to detain him, and then charged at the off-duty officer after he approached, leading to a violent struggle.
During the struggle, the officer fired about ten shots, hitting Lawal in the torso, legs, and face.
The detective suffered minor injuries and has been treated and released from the hospital.

Philip McDonald says
Crickets from Law Enforcement on his Islamic ties.
Diane Harvey says
Get ready for a dump truck size load of B/S to come from Mayor Kenny, once again in the face of Muslim evidence all over the place.
Robert remembers Mayor Kenny; so do I.
In January, 2016 a Muslim attacked, attempting to kill, a Philly cop, Allahu Akbarring all the way. At a press conference the Philly police commissioner stated the would-be killer’s motive, reporting everything that the Muslim said about motive.
Right after the commissioner spoke, right after, Democrat Mayor Kenney said this, “In no way shape or form does anyone in this room [the commissioner is standing right behind the blabbering mayor] believe that Islam or the teaching of Islam has anything to do with what you’ve seen on the screen. It is abhorrent. It is terrible and it does not represent the religion or any of its teachings.”
Wellington says
Seconded, Diane Harvey.
Kenney is a fool about Islam, but far worse than his foolhardiness is any black being a Muslim considering that 1) the founder of Islam owned black slaves; 2) said reputed founder, one Mohammed by name, referred derisively to blacks, one of many examples to be found is in the Bukhari Hadith 1:662, where that seventh-century psychopath referred to blacks as “raisinheads” (N.B., Jesus, the founder of Christianity, owned no slaves nor did he condone the raping of women as Mohammed surely did); 3) Islam’s record on black slavery is about ten times worse than that of the Western world’s (and the West’s record is more than bad enough), what with Islam enslaving blacks some eight centuries before the Western world did (7th century for Islam, 15th century for the West) and continuing it far past the West’s being the first civilization to realize that any slavery is wrong and which civilization took enormous measures to end it (including fighting a brutal civil war in America), contra the Islamic world which has never formally acknowledged that slavery is wrong; 4) the Western world has profusely apologized for black slavery while the Islamic world NEVER has, indeed it continues it to this day in places like Mauritania and the Sudan; 5) wherever Islam dominates it sets up a Jim Crow system based not on race but on belief, you’d think no one would or should be more aware of this than blacks, including that doofus of a President who came before Trump (but alas, Obama is deficient here as he has been on so many other matters).
All of which is why I say that while all willing Muslims are confused human beings, no exception, any willing black Muslim is an extra confused human being, with willing black female Muslims very worthy of being consigned to a special category of “stupid” when considering Islam’s role or take on women as well.
Yes, just about the very last people who should be Muslims are blacks. I defy anyone to demonstrate why I am wrong here. I aver it can’t be done.
Scott says
Don’t forget they castrated all their black slaves.
Wellington says
Yes, I should have mentioned that as well.
Chris Evans says
Your comment is brilliant and honest. Today I searched through all of the mainstream TV media’s websites and I couldn’t find any follow up reports that said that this man was a Muslim. Evidently, such a report would be hate filled racist Islamophobia. If it were not for a few websites like “jihadwatch” (which no liberals would dare read), the truth would be forever hidden. Thank God for Robert Spencer and people like him.
Please cut and paste this story in the comment section of every pro-Islam and anti-Trump “youtube” video you can. They’ll probably be removed, but we have to keep trying to spread this truth.
gravenimage says
Yes–Kenney is a dhimmi tool.
Scott says
His statement-a bald faced lie-emboldens terrorists who see that their methods cow our spineless politicians into sharia compliance by never speaking honestly of the barbarism that is the ideology of Islam. Kenney would likely call it a race right alongside the dull-normal Ben Affleck.

Greetings:
I grew up in the Bronx of the ’50s and ’60s. Back there and then, there was a bit of folk wisdom that went like this:
First Prize: An all-expense-paid week in Philadelphia.
Second Prize: Two all-expense-paid weeks in Philadelphia.
Carolyne says
I lived in Philadelphia, and it was the same bit of wisdom there, too.
billrla says

I think the quote originated with W.C. Fields. In any case, it’s an oldie, but a goodie. And I’m from NY (son of a Bronx Boy) and have lived and worked in Philly. On the plus side, the soft pretzels aren’t bad.
pandainc says
That’s funny. In Philly, we said that about the ‘City’.
Savvy Kafir says
Kudos to the off-duty cop who capped this pious thug for Allah.
That’s the perfect outcome for every violent jihadi — take him out of circulation permanently, and send the True Believer winging on his way to Paradise. (Or send a gullible moron who died for a fantasy concocted by a 7th Century con man to the long, dark night of oblivion.)
Champ says
The evil perp is dead and the detective is a HERO!! So thankful that he only suffered minor injuries.
gravenimage says
Savvy Kafir and Champ–very much agree! So glad he stopped this vicious Jihadist before he could kill anyone.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Yes, it’s good he was stopped before be able to harm anyone else.
Champ says
Indeed, Graven and Left.
David George says
Sadly, most but not all law enforcement officers are not good shots plus the pistols are not very accurate. Add to this a violent struggle for survival and no wonder the cop had to shoot most of a clip.
Compare this to the Garland Texas sharpshooter on Mr Spencer’s security detail…it was over very quickly.
I’d like to see the idiotic mayor in mortal combat with a jihadi, he would soil himself.
WPM says
When some is trying to kill you in a mad Mohammed rage ,you put the mad dog down. If it takes 10 shot to stop it so be it. The US Army in the Philippines at the turn of the century moved up from a 32 cal. revolver as the standard side arm to a 45 semi auto pistol when fighting Islamic rebels. The rebels would charge at the soldiers with long knives the 32 pistol would not stop them from stabbing the America soldiers. The 45 would put them down quicker before they reach the soldiers. Never under estimate a mad suicidal killer ,and that is what Islam is in Jihad activation mod. Better to be judge by 12 people at trial then to be carry to the grave by 6 people.
Roderick MacUalraig says
Indeed, Sir. Many LE officers are paid once, twice, maybe three times a year paid range time.
And those ranges are weak. No imagination or innovation or real work and skill development taking place. Standing in place shooting at stationary targets at the same distances year in and year out.
Most of their time is spent on administrative duties and administrative training. Not training to fight and win in the quickest and most decisive way possible against violent and determined adversaries.
Truth.
Mccode says
Ah, yes, another in the long string of astronomically rare coincidences that a cold blooded attempt at random murder was perpetrated by a (gasp) Muslim, who, of course, completely misunderstood the benign teachings of the Cult of Mohammed.
Jaladhi says
Nowa days its only Muslims who are doing such vile terror acts! When you hear of such cases, you can be sure it was Muslim who committed the terror attack. We don’t need any confirmation from the police who often try to hide the name or delay it as much as possible!
JawsV says
Well, that’s not completely true. There are white psychopaths such as Paddock who killed 58 innocent people in Las Vegas. I’m not defending Islam, which I abhor. Two separate categories: 1. General psychopaths. 2. Islamic Jihadists. The first has nothing to do with any religion. The second has everything to do with Islam.
Jim says
Who says Paddock isn’t a Muslim? ISIS claimed him, and the results of the investigation have not yet been released.
JawsV says
Sorry, he’s not. Paddock’s a white psychopath mass-murderer. Not an Islamic Jihadist.
If ISIS claimed him that’s a big bunch of camel hooey. Of course the sons of Allah were thrilled that a large number of “Infidels” were killed and wanted to take credit.
Carolyne says
The result in the Las Vegas case have never been released and, I believe, will never be released.
LeftisruiningCanada says
White people can be muslim too.
Ashley says
Hello JawsV!
ISIS does not have a history of claiming false responsibility for attacks. Sure…ISIS celebrates all forms of violence against infidels but that isn’t the same thing.
ISIS has repeatedly claimed responsibility for Las Vegas.
ISIS specifically referenced Las Vegas as a potential target.
Paddock traveled to the Middle East on several occasions. Both Paddock and Marilou Danley are odd ducks. There is very little information about the investigation being released for public consumption.
Paddock may very well have been a “general psychopath.” Or he could have been a jihadist.
This investigation is shrouded in mystery…
Carolyne says
I agree with you Ashley I believe the chances that Paddock was a Muslim operative are much greater than he was not. No one, including JawsV! can say with such certainty that he was not. We simply do not know, but I think the authorities, including that paragon of virtue the FBI,knows but will never tell.
Ashley says
Indeed, Carolyne.
Why did Pollack have access to the service elevators? Why did Jesus Campos change his story about when he was shot? What became of Paddock’s missing hard drive? Why did Campos bolt just prior to the interviews, bolt the country in fact, and then surface on the Ellen show? Who was the unidentified woman seen with Paddock at the Mandalay Bay?
Perhaps we’ll never know. But the friends and family members of the 58 victims deserve answers.
This investigation is deliberately being kept hush-hush. I find that most curious…
JawsV says
As much as you all want to believe Paddock was a Muslim he wasn’t. He was a white psychopath mass-murderer, of which there are plenty. Unfortunately.
Ashley says
No, JawsV. I don’t WANT to believe Paddock had an ISIS connection. I am simply stating that after four months the authorities remain mum about the investigation. Please review my comments as to why I’m not prepared to dismiss an ISIS connection.
I’m glad you have it all figured out…a simple open-and-shut case of a deranged psychopath. Good for you!
JawsV says
You can take your smart-azz tone and shove it, Ashley! Yep, it’s open and shut. He’s not a Muslim no matter how much you want him to be. Should be obvious even to a dumbbell.
I’m not in any way defending Islam, which I despise. But, Paddock wasn’t Jihad.
Champ says
However, he said he was concerned about the number of shots the detective fired….
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don’t think that Commisioner Richard Ross should have said this before a thorough investigation. Now the number of shots fired will become the focus for all the bleeding heart liberals, out there, and perhaps eclipse the fact that the detective still did the RIGHT thing by administering swift and appropriate justice. Maybe it took 10 shots to stop this perp. We just don’t know yet. I think the commissioner should have withheld judgment on the number of shots fires.
Champ says
correction: fired, not fires.
Jim says
Ross’s comment was so demoralizing, if I were a Philly cop, and had to hear that (that when I am attacked and have to defend myself) the commissioner doesn’t have my back, I’d quit!
Champ says
Exactly, Jim! Good point.
Ashley says
That Jannah Al-Firdaus site is VERY interesting! It boasts over 6000 members and merits close monitoring. It strikes me as a hotbed for nefarious activity.
gravenimage says
I *hope* law enforcement will take a closer look at this, Ashley–but I doubt they will. Their having a photo of what is almost certainly a child marriage on their site is also deeply concerning.
Thomas Verrecchia says
What tell you hear his written statement he apologizes to the Suspects Family. Because the Hero Cop shot him to many times. I called the Mayors office and a girl read me the statement but she said it takes 36 years to release.??

Philadelphia: Driver who tried to hit pedestrian, then attacked officer identified as Muslim named Khalil Lawal
……………………….
It should surprise no one that this was indeed Jihad.
More:
The driver was “Khalil Lawal, 31, of Arlington, Virginia.” Khalil Lawal of Arlington, Virginia, 31, has a Facebook page (doubtless it will soon be taken down). He is a member of the group Jannah Al-Firdaus…
……………………….
No obvious calls for Jihad on his Facebook page, but some disturbing stuff nonetheless, including a poster saying he was “stoning an annoying friend” but that the stone hit an old woman. Far from expressing any contrition, he whines about possibly getting in trouble. Another poster laughs.
He also finds a pictue funny of an apprehensive young white woman sitting next to a thuggish black guy on the subway. Also amusing, apparently, is sneering at the women who slept with a friend who now apparently have venereal disease as a result.
Then there are bizarre conspiracy theories, including the idea that McDonalds could not possibly be using beef to fill all their hamburger orders. It doesn’t imply what this idiot thinks they really are using–but then, it hardly matters, does it?
Most disturbing, though, is an image of a gold-plated machine gun and another weapon on a stack of suitcases filled with money.
And “Jannah Al-Firdaus” means the highest level of paradise. The main image on that page is of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, with the illiterate caption, “ITS OURS”–which presumably means all of Israel.
Under “Islamic marriage / Nikah”, there is a picture of the couple with their hands over their faces. Look at that picture–the bride is *almost certainly a child*.
Lots of disturbing stuff.
And their slogan is “Jannah is my goal”. How does one reach “Jannah”? By murdering Infidels in the way of Jihad, of course.
More:
Is the detective about to be made a scapegoat for the “Islamophobic” crime of stopping this jihadi?
……………………….
Just disgusting. Imagine how many lives this officer saved.
Bezelel says
I’m concerned that the officer only fired 10 times.
Roderick MacUalraig says
He may have been conserving rounds for possible follow up threats from Khalil’s co-religionists. If that’s the case it shows discipline and wisdom. But I liked the spirit of your comment. Take no prisoners.
Dianna says
thankfully the officer was ok and able to kill the man before he could hurt others.
tiredofstupid says
The old saw “2 in the chest, one in the head” makes me a little concerned over the number of shots fired. In real life, however, guns aren’t magic no matter what hollywood says and pistol rounds are not great manstoppers, If the officer put all 10 rounds in the perp then he is an excellent shot in a highly stressful moment when you have to decide and act in a split second. Kudos the the officer.
LeftisruiningCanada says
If it was a 9mm, i’ve heard they don’t have much stopping power if the target is ‘motivated’.
MFritz says
“Spray and pray” is what the experts say. You hope to stop the perp first and foremost.
And yes, gravenimage, 9mm remains the caliber mostly used by police for their hand guns. Cal. .45 was also very popular but ever since US-police (and the army) switched to the M92 in the 1980s it’s mostly 9mm. (Or cal. .38 if they’re still using revolvers, which is almost the same size.)
Which means mostly “punching holes” into people without much stopping power.
don vito says
This officer is be highly commended for meritorious service not just to the kufr nation, but to the ummah. The officer, by his action, rid the kufr of this trash, the officer, by this action, sent the seeker of martyrdom straight away to allah, Thus making both kufr and ummah exceedingly happy.
Carolyne says
I don’t know why the officer had to shoot him ten times, but I doubt he did it just for fun. Whatever his reason, I support him.
don vito says
#metoo.
MFritz says
He looks like another hood rat that “embraced” islam during prison. And, once again, nobody having a closer look at his mosque and what’s going on there.

The combination of Welfare-sucking-crime prone-impregnating multiple sisters and running away-always-blaming-whites-ghetto-lefty-black and Islam is LETHAL
Hugo Hackenbush says
Obviously he is not a “REAL” Muslim. If he were he would not be wearing headphones (which suggests listening to music). After all, Muhammad condemned music, musicians and musical instruments. So….stop blaming “The Religion O’ Peace” when clearly the violent persons are not “REAL” practitioners of “REAL” Islam.
Lydia Church says
The muslims that are NOT “real” are the ones that are peaceful, tolerant, and agreeable and can integrate into a civilized society. The other kind are real because they follow the letter of their law; wage jihad, etc.
boakai ngombu says
i think of a gradient from “hardly” to “almost” with the understanding that at any time one may turn to jihad
Hugo Hackenbush says
I’m being sarcastic,
Ashley says
Obviously he is not a “REAL” Muslim. If he were he would not be wearing headphones (which suggests listening to music).
_________________
Hard to say, Hugo. He could have been listening to that God-awful Islamic chanting. Or perhaps an Islamic sermon encouraging jihad.
Looks like whatever he was listening to put him right to sleep. As such, he may very well have been listening to Jordan Duffner reading from her new book…
Tjhawk says
“ However, he said he was concerned about the number of shots the detective fired.”
It seems to me that he fired exactly the right number of shots.
Did the attack on innocents end? Check
Did the murderous jihadi shuffle off this mortal coil? Check

valerie summer says
I, too, am concerned he was shot 10 times. It should have been at least 20. Perhaps the officer needs a bigger magazine, or maybe better aim.
