Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Jihad in Toronto?

Jan 25, 2018 9:32 am By Robert Spencer

Maybe, but we may never know. My latest at FrontPage:

“A 20-year-old Brampton man,” the Canadian Press reported Tuesday, “is facing dozens of charges, including seven counts of attempted murder, in what police describe as a string of unprovoked, random shootings in Toronto that narrowly missed being fatal.” As it turns out, this could have been a series of jihad attacks, but you will never learn that from the Canadian Press, or from Canadian authorities.

Toronto Police Supt. Ron Taverner was just glad that the shooter hadn’t done more damage: “We’re lucky that we’re not dealing with potentially seven homicides or more.” However, he had no idea why he was dealing with seven attempted homicides: “I wish we could say we had a motive, but we don’t.” He added:  “It’s mind-boggling, quite frankly. We haven’t been able to determine any motive whatsoever that these are other than random shootings.”

Yes, it is indeed mind-boggling. The “20-year-old Brampton man” turns out to be named Adam Abdi. Abdi means servant, as in servant of Allah, and is a common name for Muslims worldwide. Adam Abdi is, therefore, likely Muslim, and could be carrying out the Islamic State’s call to murder civilians in Western countries. 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….

Abdi could also simply be following the Qur’an’s injunctions to “kill them wherever you find them” (2:191, 4:89, 9:5).

If Adam Abdi is not Muslim, but some random psychopath, then Taverner should say so, so as to allay suspicions among the people that these could be jihad attacks. But Taverner cannot do that, because to do so would be to acknowledge that Muslims do sometimes kill in the name of Islam and in accord with its teachings, and it is impossible for Taverner to acknowledge such a thing, however obvious a fact it may be, in today’s atmosphere of totalitarian radio silence about such facts in Canada.

And if Adam Abdi is indeed a Muslim, then Taverner and his team should begin investigating whether or not he was motivated by jihad imperative. But that also he cannot do, because it, too, would be tantamount to admitting that there is a jihad imperative in the first place.

So we get this: a man who is likely a Muslim shoots random people at a time when a major international Islamic jihad terror organization has called for the killing of random people, and the police tell us nothing about the man, and say they’re scratching their heads as to his motive — something we have seen police forces around the world do when confronted with jihad attacks and plots that they don’t want to admit to be what they are. And we may never know what really happened with Adam Abdi and these shootings.

The victims deserve better, but in Canada, as in many quarters all over the West, Islam’s image must be protected at all costs, and that is the first and foremost priority that all authorities must pursue. The victims’ rights and well-being can go hang, as far as the authorities are concerned.

    I am so tired of looking at pictures of men with those distinctive dead emotionless Muslim eyes. This is some bad-s@#t brainwashing that they’ve perfected over a millenniu, and a half.

      The eyes are the reflection of the soul, it’s true. One of the obvious
      fruits of Mohammedanism.

      Yes–it’s the Muslim “dead shark eyes” look.

      • UNCLE VLADDI says

        Jan 26, 2018 at 2:58 pm

        It’s called “PSYCHOPATHY!”

        The term “Psycho-Path” is Greek for “Thought-Killer” which is appropriate because they prefer to see all emotion as pain, and reject and ignore their own internally-generated, helpfully warning fears as externally induced threatening attacks – in short, they fear all “painful,” cause-and-effect thinking, and so will do almost anything to avoid it.

        Because they choose to interpret all emotions as varying levels of pain, and their own fears as external attacks, psychopaths don’t want to think about causes and effects or problems and solutions, they just want it all to end, usually by causing the worst-case scenario possible!

          Just out of interest for Greek definitions:

      Brainwashed and doped or doped then brainwashed or Braindoped and dopewashed or just plain ole islamized. No matter what….Canada maybe more than others or even like others are slowly or may be not slowly drowning themselves in the inequalities in Islam verses the TRUE GODLY QUALITIES set forth by the standards of Jesus whom Islam says was born under a tree. under a tree???

    Anyone knowing the first thing about islamic ‘teachings’, might reasonably conclude that was what provoked him.

    Obviously and unfortunately Canada is going to lose the Defense against the Jihad war as they are unable to identify the enemy and continue to refill the terrorist Jihadi ranks with immigrants from dangerous Jihadi filled countries. This is truly a despicable condition the left has placed Canada in, a new Darkest Hour.

      It is risky.

      Vehicular jihad has long been a problem around the world.

      Plus, a lot of racialists support Jihad. Survival is not enough. We must thrive.

    Lol Ladies and gentlemen this is a joke I have to laugh only way to stay sane and strong. Islam is defeated they are losers are desperate and pathetic.

    • Savvy Kafir says

      Jan 25, 2018 at 4:39 pm

      Islam is definitely NOT defeated, Mark. It’s making huge inroads in the West due to immigration and the Demographic Jihad.

      Islam is resurgent around the world, and we need to do something about it. It’s way too early to be popping the champagne.

    Just another confused Asian man. That’s all we know. Motives have not been determined. Possibly mentally ill person. No indication of radicalization. Occurred just after Trump banned immigrants. Angry over .right wing extremist activities. Imam Takia says “He is not a true Muslim”.

    When you see this deliberate vagueness then what it really means is that a Muslim was being a good Muslim and decided to emulate Muhammad.

    Trigger warning.

    That photo looks like several I’ve seen of Somali perps. Was this guy born in Canada, or is he a refugee from Trump’s America? I think Canadians should look intensively into Trudeau’s relationship with Islam. If he said the Shahada at one of his vote whoring sessions among muslim Canadians, some of the faithful may be holding his vote-catching oath to his throat. Trudeau does not seem to be the brightest light floating on the cesspool of politics. Sorry, Canadians.

      Jan 25, 2018 at 8:06 pm

      Did everyone notice that Trudeau tried to hide his meeting with Netanyahu in Davos? The PM’s office finally came clean about it when the Israelis mentioned that the meeting had occurred. That tells me a lot about Trudeau’s true constituency. He didn’t want his Mohammadan voter base in Canada to know he had sat down with Netanyahu.

      • gravenimage says

        I’m sure he wanted to hide it from Leftists, as well.

    oooooooooooooooo

    The Japanese term, “sanpaku”, describes a condition in the eye that connotes a grave state of physical and spiritual imbalance.

    Sanpaku describes a condition in which the white of the eye can be seen between the pupil and the lower lid as the subject gazes directly forward. This connotes a grave state of physical and spiritual imbalance. The sanpaku is out of touch with himself, his body and the natural forces of the universe. Symptomatically, sanpaku can be recognized by chronic fatigue, low sexual vitality, poor instinctive reactions, bad humor, inability to sleep soundly and lack of precision in thought and action.

    In a way, most Muslims exhibit SANPAKU !!!
