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, or simply 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, Supt. Ron Taverner of the Toronto Police 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.
“Man accused of 7 attempted murders in random Toronto shootings,” Canadian Press, January 23, 2018 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur):
TORONTO — A 20-year-old Brampton man 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.
Toronto Police said Tuesday that the man, who is currently in custody, allegedly worked his way through neighbourhoods in the northwest corner of the city over the past two weeks, opening fire on a total of seven victims ranging in age from four to 47.
None of the victims were known to each other or the accused, said Supt. Ron Taverner, describing the case as “disturbing” but saying the force is breathing a sigh of relief that things didn’t turn out worse.
“We’re lucky that we’re not dealing with potentially seven homicides or more,” Taverner said in a telephone interview. “I wish we could say we had a motive, but we don’t.”
Toronto Police released this image of a gun seized in the arrest of Adam Abdi, who is accused in five shootings and seven attempted murders.
Taverner said the string of shootings began on Jan. 9 as two teenagers were entering a residential building.
Taverner alleged that the accused, 20-year-old Adam Abdi , fired multiple shots at the 19-year-old man and 15-year-old girl as they stood in the hallway. The girl was not hurt, while the man sustained undisclosed injuries, he said.
One week later on Jan. 16, Taverner alleged Abdi struck again as a 47-year-old man was standing on the sidewalk outside his home. Police allege Abdi walked up and shot him before fleeing the scene.
The next shooting took place five days later as a 20-year-old man was walking past a vehicle in which Abdi was allegedly seated. Police said he came out of the car shooting at the alleged victim before driving away from the scene.
The following day, Taverner said a 35-year-old man and his four-year-old daughter were sitting in their vehicle after dropping someone off when the next alleged attack came.
Taverner alleged Abdi exited a nearby vehicle and fired multiple close-range shots at the father and daughter before fleeing. Neither the father nor daughter were hurt.
One hour later, however, a 19-year-old man was less fortunate, police said. Taverner alleged Abdi drove up beside the teen as he walked down the street, rolled down the window and opened fire. The 19-year-old suffered life-threatening injuries and remains in hospital, Taverner said.
“It’s mind-boggling, quite frankly,” Taverner said. “We haven’t been able to determine any motive whatsoever that these are other than random shootings.”…
Jaladhi says
What motive one needs – isn’t Islamic jihad enough of a motive? The police in all western countries are behaving like dumb and dumber going to dumbest!!
Jaladhi says
The police is lying through the teeth and they are not even ashamed of it — maybe they have converted to Islam and that is why they can’t find any motive of this Muslim’s shootings!!
Aingel Strong says
I met the Chief Inspector of Local Constabulary two weeks back, he said he attends mosque and prays but denied being a muslim. He said islam is Peaceful .. Pension Protection Time .. The other one at meet (Head Of Borough Security) had no idea what I meant when I complained about an Algerian doing Dawaah in the Town Centre. Neither seemed that bothered about the threats being made at females by the local mosque on its website, where the “migration for marriage” hadith, as well as the Opener is on display, and were even less concerned there as a madrasah up . and running. As Saheeh: 33:27: advises ” And He caused you to inherit their land and their homes and their properties and a land which you have not trodden. And ever is Allah, over all things, competent ” , hijra jihad is on and depends upon the “great ones” complacency, i.e surah 6:123 ” And thus have We made in every town the great ones to be its guilty ones, that they may plan therein; and they do not plan but against their own souls, and they do not perceive. ” .. Nothing short of a revolution will prevent the West from being a filthy islamic backwater within 70 years.

I really believe Islamic extremists are importing (and stirring up) mentally ill people on purpose so that the real Islamic purpose can be hidden as “mental illness.” Most Muslims have the good sense to avoid violence unless they are fighting for their country, or are committing a crime for money. But the mentally ill are easily stirred up and utilized by groups like ISIS. The intelligence service needs to note this pattern–I’m sure they will find that $ have been given to traffickers to bring in crazy people to carry out these plots, while ISIS organizers seek out crazy people to befriend and then stir up to do terrorist act. It’s got to be an organized conspiracy. Most Muslim ideologues are too smart to do things like this unless they know they can get away with it or know they will win.
elee says
Their audience pre-selects. Only a crazy person would convert to Islam if they knew what they were buying into. As for those who grew up Muslim, they got subjected to brainwashing from infancy, & Muslim brainwashing makes the N Koreans look like amateurs. That’s why they do crazy s@#t.
Diane says
I know what you mean about the brainwashing. I’ve seen YouTube videos, in which Islamist shows for toddlers (similar to “Romper Room”), show toddlers making stabbing motions, while shout/stinging, ” I stab the Jews”. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing; literally, to see these sweet little faces just mimicking what they were taught…. encouraging other little toddlers to do the same. It was so disturbing, and very, very sad.
StellaSaidSo says
The average Muslim IQ is about 20 points lower than that of the population generally, due to 1400 years of inbreeding. The high rate of birth defects provides a plentiful supply of mentally and physically disabled children. Evidence suggests that such vulnerable people are targeted for the purpose of ‘martyrdom. Also, recruiters deliberately seek out disturbed and dull-witted converts, because they are easily manipulated.
gravenimage says
Barbara, have you ever asked yourself why all of these “mentally ill” people are also pious Muslims? And have you noticed that the actions of these “mentally ill” people just happens to be orthodox Islam?
A majority of Muslims around the world support Hizb’allah and Hamas committing Jihad against Israel.
One Muslim in four in Britain openly expressed sympathy with the 7/7 bombers.
Only half of Muslims in the US and Canada would condemn terrorist attacks on civilians.
Are all of these people “mentally ill”, or just good Muslims?
WPM says
Barbara
Your theory is wrong many people committing Jihad are highly educated with money and raised in middle class backgrounds and many are like this person pictured here today in this article with an IQ not above room temperature .Islam is like a powerful addictive drug ,drug addiction cut across all races, classes of people, all educational ,social levels. If someone is a junkie he behaviors like a junkie he is not functioning as a fully logical person under the influence of the drug. You have to get that person off the drug ,or remove him from society to keep people safe deportation or jail .What does society do we make bad behavior illegal. Islam promotes bad behavior as virtues .We cannot make Islam illegal ,but we can go after people who promote bad behavior. We can arrest Inmans who cause riots ,promote killing Jew and Christians in their Friday sermons .We cannot beat an enemy if we do not recognize him and name him. This pussy footing around by the authorities is just crazy the common factor with these attacks is Islam. Years ago many car accidents involved drunk driving the police cracked down on drunk driving and accident drop considerable . Drinking is still legal but bad behavior when drunk gets you thrown into jail it is not acceptable to be drunk at work ect. It does not matter if the person was rich or poor ,well educated ,what kind of job he held ,what kind of car he drove. the only common factor was he was drunk.. Islam is the same it promotes violent illogical behavior across all people it has under its influence it creates a dangerous state of mind . True followers of Islam ,are like true followers of Nazism that cannot be trusted in places of power. The ones not in power like this borderline retard just act violently on a local level using guns, cars, knives and bombs. The upper educated ones run Jihad at a higher level waging wars, leverage the economy of the Western world by flooding it with Jihad mind “refugees” who tax the welfare ,and police to bankrupt the Western countries. Our leaders lack the courage to face the problem are letting it grow and get stronger all they care about is the next election cycle. Islam thinks in terms of hundreds of years for their goals ,the average person thinks in terms of 5 to 10 year goals, our political leaders only think in 4 to 6 month cycles till a story dies in the MSM. One story supplants another in the MSM bread and circus ,keeping us entertained as our real freedoms are being eroded by Shiria complying leaders looking for that every increasing Islamic voting block to keep them in power for the next election cycle.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Good points.
The analogy to drink driving is perhaps only problematic in that, when a drunk driver gets busted, it doesn’t cause 10 more people to engage in drunk driving because the police ‘offended drinking”.
It may be that we seeing so little real opposition to islamic jihad, or even the naming of it in obvious cases, because our politicians know how deep the rot goes, and are afraid to start the war they know is simmering under the surface.

Chand says
Black Lives Matter is not connected to the Nation of Islam. There is no evidence of collusion. There might be people who support or sympathize with both, of course.
What do you except after centuries of oppression and systematic discrimination in a white supremacist society? Most accept their fate and the situation without too much protest. Some protest and some are violent radicals.
While the Nation of Islam is violently anti White and anti Jew, Black Lives Matter grew out of police atrocities on colored people in America.
Colored people too discriminate against White people at times, opportunistically, called reverse racism.
Buraq says
Islam teaches that this world has nothing of worth in it. Therefore, why decide to live out a meaningless life when you can die doing Allah’s Will and reach Paradise and 72 virgins? And so we have the motive the Toronto boys in blue are looking for – nihilism, Islamic version.
Many years ago, atheist nihilists also believed that morality was a man made construct, and so had no intrinsic value. Hence, Albert Camus’ quote: “Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee?”
For this clown, random shooting was a way of saying that the life of one kufar was as worthless as any other; therefore, random shooting was a simple way to demonstrate his Islamic world-view. My answer would be to select an ‘infidel’ at random from a telephone book and pay him/her to shoot this clown dead – carefully explaining to this clown first that random shooting is a two-way street. (Except for him, it’s a cul-de-sac!)
By the way, I’d really appreciate reading an article by Hugh Fitzgerald on Islamic nihilism!
gravenimage says
Good post, Buraq.
And yes–I’d look forward to an essay on Islamic nihilism by the inimitable Hugh Fitzgerald myself.
Russ says
Understand that Islam is synonymous with Terror as proven by Muhammad’s very first unprovoked raid on a caravan of innocents in 624 AD. Tell me, did Muhammad himself act in “self defence” when ….
(A) He attacked his own innocent Quraish tribesmen in February 624 AD which led to the Battle of Badr fought in the following month? NO.
(B) He attacked the Christians of Lihyan, Taif, Muta (Syria) and Tabuk who rejected him and his licentious demands for payment of jizya (extortion) tax? NO.
(C) Did he wait until “the forbidden months are past” to exterminate 900 unarmed and peaceful Jewish Banu Qurayzans minding their own business in 627 AD? NO.
(D) Did he wait until “the forbidden months are past” to attack Mecca which was unable to defend itself in 630 AD? NO.
He waged war against anyone who rejected him or his fraudulent ideology and directed military campaigns to spread Islamic rule. Before dying, he even left instructions for doing so:
“The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: If you come to a township (which has surrendered without a formal war) and stay therein, you have a share (that will be in the form of an award) in (the properties obtained from) it. If a township disobeys allah and his messenger (and actually fights against the Muslims) one-fifth of the booty seized therefrom is for allah and his apostle and the rest is for you.” (Sahih Muslim 4346)
Any reasonably intelligent person can discern that there’s nothing ‘misleading’ being taught … but there’s plenty of misinformation put out in the guise of dawah.

And the fact that it boggles the minds of police officers to admit what is staring them in the face, is the most disturbing thing in this report, as it means there will be more attacks which the police are too politically correct to prevent.

Adam Abdi, 20, of Brampton, is charged with seven counts of attempted murder, five counts of wearing a disguise while committing a crime, five counts of breach of probation and 31 firearms-related offences. Police seized a gun during the arrest.

It happened in Canada, so maybe somebody didn’t use his preferred pronouns. Even non-Muslims will start riots over this imaginary problem. Maybe he is transitioning from human to Islamist and wants to be referred to as it, it’s, that and those things. Plus, he probably isn’t married so there was no one else to be a halal punching bag for his frustration.
In any case he should have been allowed to kill a few people just to provide cultural enrichment to Canada. Muslim countries without oil only have a few things to export, things that are never fully appreciated by the media and academia, things that provide a counter balance to their emphasis on freedom and human rights. So if his religion calls for the killing of non believers then he should be allowed to practice that part of his faith.
Maybe Canada should have an official “Day Of Freedom Under Shariah” to prove how tolerant they are. The highlights of the day would be the stonings, starting with the adulterers and homosexuals followed by the stonings of the blasphemers and apostates and capped off with the mass murder of a couple hundred infidels (at an undisclosed “surprise” location). Anyone in jail for planning a terrorist attack would be released and given a parade. Finally Justin Trudeau would apologize on behalf of all non-Muslim Canadians for existing.

PissedoffCanuck says
Toronto Star News posted today about Canadian security and returning ISIS fighters, how Canada is on the list by ISIS for jihad attacks, a lot in the ITAC report was redacted. Next, British newspaper reports on the court trial of the man who ran over Muslims as brainwashed by “right wing” anti-Islam sites. Yet when reporting on this jihadist Abdul, police say they have found “no motive.” The Muslim who ran over a cop in Edmonton, again “no motive.” (There are other random jihad attacks which don’t make the news, but are on the RCMP lists!) The Mosque shooting in Quebec, it is/was reported how the Muslims are victims, donations pour in, how it’s such a tragedy… PM Turdoo gives his speech in support of the victims and mosque and a year later we are to remember this (as never to forget) since MSM continually reports on it.
What about all the Kafirs that are shot, maimed, raped and murdered by these jihadists in Canada? Are their lives worth less than those Muslim victims since these attacks on Kafirs are quickly silenced and forgotten by the MSM and PM Turdoo is silent, and no donations are established for them…..
It puzzles me that MSM and government officials/leaders won’t call out Islam but are quick to quell “right wing Islamopobes.” I don’t consider myself a “right wing Islamopobe” or indoctorinated and I’m not about to violently attack any Muslim. I consider myself informed about Islam!
I do learn from the left-wing so called “right wing Islamopobe” sites, but not all my Islamic learning comes from them! Actually, all one has to do is simply read the Quran, and to further your knowledge add a few Hadith stories!
