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

Vermont: Muslim attacks 73-year-old Meals on Wheels volunteer with machete, smashes car windows

Jan 7, 2018 7:52 am By Robert Spencer

Diversity and multiculturalism in Bernie Sanders’ backyard.

No doubt there will come reports claiming that Abukar Ibrahim is mentally ill, etc. But randomly attacking elderly people with a machete is something we have seen from Islamic jihadists before.

“Burlington man charged with motel machete attack,” by Dom Amato, WCAX, January 5, 2018 (thanks to Doc):

SHELBURNE, Vt. (WCAX) A Burlington man faces attempted murder charges after allegedly attacking a woman with a machete.

“It’s pretty scary yes,” said Carl Mcmahon.

Mcmahon is staying at Harbor Place in Shelburne. Harbor Place provides temporary emergency housing with services, run by the Champlain Housing Trust. Early Friday, police responded to calls of a man with a knife smashing out car windows.

“On arrival we found that this person who was reported to have a knife, had actually attacked an elderly female,” said Corporal Jon Marcoux of Shelburne Police.

That female, was a 73-year-old Meals on Wheels volunteer who was dropping off meals on the regular route. It is unclear what provoked the attack, but police say 32-year-old Abukar Ibrahim was the one with a machete. He attacked the woman who sustained multiple injuries. She was sent to the hospital, and later released.

“He barricaded himself in the room. After two and a half hours, he came out on his own,” said Marcoux….

“I feel not safe,” said Mcmahon.

Ibrahim is scheduled to be arraigned on Monday, on the charge of attempted murder. He is being held at the Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility.

    No doubt police are ‘struggling to find a motive’…

      You’re so right……and I was so disgusted that the news article states, ” It is unclear what provoked the attack….”. Please! As if this 73 year old lady may’ve done anything to provoke him?!?!?

        she existed and doing a good deed what else he needed?

          She probably wasn’t wearing a hijab or maybe showing a bit too much ankle while delivering the meals.

          Maybe she had a peanut butter sandwich to give and not a 500$ Kobe steak? The more anyone gives to criminal mafia islamofacists the more they demand. Its a death cult run like the mafia.

        Being Christianly provoked the attack.

        Exactly, Diane. A 73-year-old lady out delivering meals for the infirm elderly and disabled–how is she going to “provoke” being attacked by a machete-wielding thug?

      • dumbledoresarmy says

        Jan 9, 2018 at 7:31 am

        Exactly. That’s what stood out to me. **This strong young man, wielding a machete – a machete! – tried to murder a little old lady, causing her multiple injuries**.

        To bleat about ‘provocation’ in a case like this is beyond absurd – it’s obscene.

      What motive? He is mentally ill! Case solved.

    • Dj says

      Jan 8, 2018 at 8:56 am

      Yep, it is a disgusting lie that muslims that kill or try to kill people are just mentally ill. These PC liberals are trying to hide behind this lie because it would require more stringent vetting of Muslims.
      They just can’t break from the fact that some cultures are just plain evil and the truth would ultimately ban Islam and these Muslim refugees and immigrants from ever entering the U.S. again.

      • Ullr says

        Jan 8, 2018 at 9:35 am

        No, it is quite possible that Mr. Ibrahim was mentally ill. Whereas, mentally ill old white guys often shoot themselves, mentally ill Muslims seem more prone to express their craziness by attacking others often in the name of Allah. Their craziness becomes a religious expression.

    • Redbug says

      Jan 8, 2018 at 3:24 pm

      When will America wake up to these Moslems??? Of course, this happened in a Liberal/Socialist State of Vermont, and they cannot find a motive??? Just wonder why??? US Citizens are being murdered and abused by these so called Moslems. It’s about time the citizenry wakes up and goes after their state, county and municipal leaders, and get better people in charge.

      Pretty much. Not long ago, there was an ugly story from Saudi Arabia about a guy and his friend being imprisoned there because they had brought a bag of food to his elderly nurse who could no longer care for herself.

      Instead of seeing this as an errand of mercy for someone who had taken care of him, the Saudi state saw it as unrelated sexes being together. Insane and very, very ugly.

  4. utis says

    There have been plenty of examples of muslim attacks on the elderly in Europe. This may not be the first here (local media rush in to help the police cover-up by non-reporting and minimal description of the perp/s). Let make it the last. That woman was trying her best to be useful. What has the punk done for humanity? Jail him and ship him back the second he walks out of prison.

    • Budvarakbar says

      Jan 7, 2018 at 10:24 am

      After all it was reported that he just had “a knife” — I wonder if it should have been reported as “automatic assault knife”

      • LeftisruiningCanada says

        Jan 7, 2018 at 12:16 pm

        True.
        “Army type assault dagger with rambo style high capacity screw topped handle”

        Starting to think that, in these guys hands, all knives become automatic.

        “It is not you that strikes them, but it is allah who strikes them. he is merciful, awesome etc”

        Good one!

  5. Bodega says

    Jan 7, 2018 at 10:59 am

    Just curious: did they arrest him after ascertatining she did not initiate the attack? How stupid are the Burlington Police or did the UV at Burlington train them to be Leftist Cops?

  6. Wellington says

    Jan 7, 2018 at 12:18 pm

    “No doubt there will come reports claiming that Abukar Ibrahim is mentally ill…….”

    I wouldn’t mind such a claim IF it were very publicly acknowledged that the character of the reputed founder of Islam, Mohammed, has mental illness written all over it AND that believing in Islam is itself a form of mental illness, though not to the point that exculpation of criminal behavior by Muslims in the name of their warped religion could be used as a defense. Many states (e.g., Pennsylvania) have a “guilty but mentally ill” option that ensures that short of true insanity the perpetrator will not get off due to a mental illness plea.

      Yes, they needed some dumbing down for sure according to the globalist conspirators, so they imported what was lacking.

    • abad says

      Jan 7, 2018 at 7:55 pm

      Yeah, just like that Somali who knife attacked Morgan Evenson in Minneapolis but the media won’t mention he is a Somali Moslem

  8. LeftisruiningCanada says

    Jan 7, 2018 at 2:51 pm

    It’s interesting that Europe, and now Canada, are keen advocates of ‘assisted dying’ laws for the elderly, while at the same time these countries are also importing large numbers of violent young muslims who are often to be found murdering… the elderly.

    Kafirs don’t appreciate the mercy and wisdom of Allah’s attempt to turn the whole world into Mogadishu. That’s why he said to kill them.

    • gravenimage says

      Jan 8, 2018 at 12:16 am

      Remember that thug Nicholas de Genova calling for a “million Mogadishus”?

      I can think of no place on earth less worthy of emulation by any sane person.

    There is no government permit required to carry concealed firearms in Vermont. A 73-year old woman is a safe target for a Muslim coward!

    I have no words for how much I hate Islam.

    • Savvy Kafir says

      Jan 8, 2018 at 1:53 pm

      Same here. I can’t imagine despising anything more than I despise Islam, which is pure depravity, savagery, & barbarism masquerading as something “holy”.

      And at times I’m almost struck speechless by the suicidal stupidity of my fellow progressives/Lefties who expect us all to RESPECT this evil ideology — about which they know absolutely nothing.

    REASON CELEBRATES “LITTLE MOGADISHU”

    Turning to libertarians for wisdom on immigration control is like asking Christian Scientists for advice about the best hospitals.

    January 8, 2018 Bruce Bawer FRONT PAGE MAG :

    Minneapolis is now the world’s #2 capital of Somali Muslims. (#1 is Mogadishu.) In the Somali community, unemployment and welfare dependency rates are high. The city is a major recruiting center for ISIS. ………

    Bruce Bawer is the author of “While Europe Slept,” “Surrender,” and “The Victims’ Revolution.” His novel “The Alhambra” has just been published.

      This has nothing to do with “cold places”–except for foolish Infidels in these places inviting in ravening Muslims, believing them to be needy refugees.

      That’s what cowardly Muslims do–target the most vulnerable victims.

    From the article – “…Early Friday, police responded to calls of a man with a knife smashing out car windows.

    “On arrival we found that this person who was reported to have a knife, had actually attacked an elderly female…”.

    Nota bene – early on FRIDAY. The mohammedan ‘holy’ day. *The* preferred day on which to engage in violent mohammedan mayhem.

  18. dumbledoresarmy says

    Jan 9, 2018 at 7:29 am

    Also from the article – “On arrival we found that this person who was reported to have a knife, had actually attacked an elderly female,” said Corporal Jon Marcoux of Shelburne Police.

    “That female, was a 73-year-old Meals on Wheels volunteer who was dropping off meals on the regular route. ** It is unclear what provoked the attack, but police say 32-year-old Abukar Ibrahim was the one with a machete. He attacked the woman who sustained multiple injuries.**”.

    This is bizarre. Suppose the attacker had been any other kind of attacker; a Canadian non-Muslim of whatever ethnicity. Suppose such a person was found, machete in hand – and a machete is not a pen-knife, it is a massive great blade, a heavy blade, like a cleaver – not only smashing windows but **attacking a SEVENTY-EIGHT-YEAR OLD WOMAN**, inflciing “multiple injuries”.

    Would anybody – anybody – instantly start wondering about ‘what provoked the attack”?

    Would they not, rather, describe the attack as “UNPROVOKED attempted murder of a little old lady by a violent young man”???

    • LeftisruiningCanada says

      Jan 9, 2018 at 1:38 pm

      +1

      “It is unclear what provoked the attack,”

      Since when does the media seek to justify attacks by suggesting there must be a legitimate reason?
