Jihad? What’s that? My latest in FrontPage:
“Motive a mystery in car explosion at Travis Air Force Base” was the Los Angeles Times headline, and this one is indeed a real mystery. A Muslim named Hafiz Kazi, according to the Times, “drove a burning minivan filled with propane and gas tanks into the front gate of Travis Air Force Base in Northern California.” After scrutinizing all the evidence closely, the FBI just can’t figure out what could possibly have been Kazi’s motive. And that in a nutshell shows what’s wrong with today’s FBI.
Sean Ragan, FBI special agent in charge of the Sacramento field office, stated: “We don’t have any nexus of terrorism at this point. Now the question is, why. Why was he there? What led him there? And we don’t know answers to that, quite frankly.”
The Times noted that when emergency responders approached the burning van after it crashed, “they found five propane tanks, three plastic one-gallon gas cans, several lighters, three phones and a gym bag with personal items, Ragan said.”
Yes, what Kazi could possibly have been up to is a complete mystery.
The Times added that “the dead man’s religious beliefs and affiliation are not known at this point, said Ragan, who debunked a rumor that some sort of ‘jihad’ video was found on Kazi’s phone.”
All right. No jihad video. And no “nexus of terrorism,” according to Sean Ragan.
What is a nexus of terrorism? Ragan most likely means that investigators didn’t find an ISIS membership card in Kazi’s wallet, or lots of phone calls to Iraq or Syria, or a note from Kazi reading, “I did this for Allah and Islam. Allahu akbar.”
Of course, even if they had found those things, given the FBI’s recent track record of denial and deception, they may still be searching for Kazi’s motive. In any case, a larger point is being lost here. And that is that there is a war going on. We know that the Islamic State, al-Qaeda and other groups have called upon Muslims in the U.S. to try to kill military personnel and police, as well as civilians. We know that Kazi, with all the propane and gas tanks in his car, was clearly trying to set off a major fire that would kill more people than just himself. Even if he wasn’t on the phone to Baghdadi, the likelihood is that when a Muslim drives into a U.S. Air Force Base with a car full of incendiaries, probably this has something to do with the global jihad.
The FBI’s bafflement here is part of its deep, deep corruption. The FBI doesn’t acknowledge that there is a global jihad, or that Islam has anything to do with terrorism. It doesn’t admit that there is a war going on, and treats each act of Islamic terror as if it were a separate and discrete criminal event, unrelated to all the others. So each time something like this happens, they’re back at Square One, trying to figure out motive. It’s as if the U.S. Army stopped to interrogate every German soldier who crashed through the Ardennes Forest at the beginning of the Battle of the Bulge in 1944, to see if each one’s actions had anything to do with the German Army and Adolf Hitler’s war aims.
Authorities are also investigating whether or not Kazi was suffering from any mental health issues. Here again, this is just more of the general refusal to acknowledge the 800-pound gorilla sitting in the living room and screaming “Allahu akbar.” Sean Ragan might explain to us that authorities are also trying to determine whether the German invasion of Poland in September 1939 was motivated by Nazism, or by mental health issues among the German High Command.
This willful ignorance leads to a diversion and waste of resources that is astronomical and catastrophic. How long is this comic opera going to continue? If the jihadis advance even into the FBI’s Sacramento offices, will agents there be struggling to determine the jihadis’ motive even as the machete begins to slice through their necks?
Voytek Gagalka says
It is time that FBI agents and bosses start to educate themselves about possible motives, restore lectures they have had not so long ago from knowledgeable people, like Robert Spencer.
mortimer says
Well said, Voytek… IT’S ABOUT TIME they hired Robert Spencer to teacher the FBI about the JIHAD doctrine, the TAQIYYA doctrine and the REVENGE doctrine of Islam.
Retribution is a COMPULSORY Islamic teaching! Even though Muslims live in the West benefiting from the blessings of freedom, the rule of law and prosperity, they still bring the Honor-Shame Paradigm with them. Honor is restored to a Muslim through the shedding of blood. No kafir is ‘innocent’. All kafirs deserve to be killed only because they reject Mohammed. The citizens of an entire kafir country can be held responsible because they taxes to support their military which attacks jihadists overseas. Islam thus considers all civilians legitimate targets for revenge in settling a matter of Islamic honor.
-K.11.173 “Believers, retaliation is decreed for you in bloodshed.”
-K.2.178 “O you who believe! Retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the slain.”
– K.5:33 “The reprisal against those who wage war on Allah and His Messenger, and go about the earth corrupting it, is that they should be killed or crucified, or have their alternate hands and feet cut off, or be banished from the land.” Waging war against Allah is rejecting Him.”–Tafsir of Imam al-Bukhari
-Imam AbdulLatif ibn AbdurRahman rahimullah said, “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed and act upon it, and yet not be hostile against the mushrikeen. So anyone who isn’t hostile against the mushrikeen, then it can’t be said that he acts upon Tawheed, nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]

james collins says
just look to their “holy” book. It’s all in there, commanding them to constantly wage war on infidels in whatever way then can. this was just another pious follower of the “holy” book doing his duty.
Richard says
A Muslim wouldn’t do anything like this. Islam is “The Religion of Peace”. No, this was just another case of “workplace violence”. the sad thing is, everyone knows better. If our so-called leaders don’t own up to the truth soon, and do something about it, the West will be wiped out in a few years.
Cynthia in California says
Sorry, Robert. The FBI doesn’t have “deep corruption”; it more likely has “deep incompetence.”
Look for stupidity before cupidity.
Both are dangerous, but one can be rooted out quite differently than the other.
Sons of Liberty says
Sorry, Cynthia ….but Barack Hussein Obama instructed the FBI to remove all links to Islam and terrorism in training manuals and procedures. Yes, there is incompetence but it is an IMPOSED incompetence . This was a Muslim jihadi intent to destroy an infidel military installation and anyone with a scintilla of knowledge about the Qur’an would know that fact. Obama has told the FBI ,..to ignore that fact .
Ashley says

Ashley says
Nonsense, Cynthia. The FBI knows EXACTLY what this was. As does the general public.
The FBI acting dumbfounded and mystified makes the entire agency look stupid and incompetent.
Daniel Triplett says
Travis AFB is the most strategically important Air Mobility air base in the Western US (Dover AFB in the Eastern US). 66 widebody USAF jets are based at Travis, making it the largest Air Mobility Wing in the DoD.
Travis is the hub of all military logistics for the Pacific and East Asian Theaters. That’s why the Ummah attacked it.

These authorities must have Dr. Franklin Robertson on speed dial. Always good to have experts,

*Yes*–investigate his family, his Mosque, and his associates.
DHazard says
Law enforcement agencies all over the Western world seem to have their heads buried in the sand when it comes to Islamist terrorism. On the surface it seems like they believe if they ignore Jihadi violence long enough it will just go away They also seem to think that the less people hear about it, the less angry Muslims will be, and therefore the less they will have to do. This is most apparent in the UK where the police are now routinely doing everything they can to prevent citizens from even hearing about jihad (unless it’s the “inner” jihad).
Poor terrorists. They keep on trying to make a statement but the FBI isn’t listening. However despite their efforts the average citizen knows what’s going on and why. So now the “I” in FBI might as well stand for “idiots”.
Peter says

gary fouse says
As a retired DEA agent (and I had my share of disagreements with the FBI ), the rot is at the top. I do
believe the working agents know the score, but once you get to Washington DC, it all changes as we have seen in the past couple of years. If I were an FBI agent, I would look elsewhere for a job.
Ashley says
Thanks for your insider’s view, Gary.
No doubt in my mind that the FBI agents know the score. They look foolish pretending to scratch their heads…
Muslim + propane tanks + military installation.
A ten-year old can figure this one out.

Thank you, Gary. As I thought.

In order to properly lie and deny the truth one must know the truth. (But I could be wrong, and the lie is just trained reflex.)

Robert Spencer: FBI Can’t Find Motive of Muslim Who Drove Burning Minivan Onto Travis Air Force Base
…………………
Ludicrous willful denial.
David Stephenson says
The SF Chronicle’s resident islamo-fascist “reporter”, Ms. Ravi, actually went so far as to declare in a blurb yesterday that “terrorism has been ruled out by law enforcement” – which is, of course, a BIG FAT LIE. She is the Chronicle’s head propaganda writer for islam.
Lydia Church says
ignorance is bliss?
hmmm… yes… what, oh what… could it be?
j_not_a says
More like “FBI refuses to acknowledge motive of muslim who drove burning minivan onto Travis air force base”. They do know damn well why he did it. They are just too cowardly and dhimmi to put it out there. Oblowhard holdovers. Why the hell does Trump not get rid of the whole bunch of them? Dismantle the entire rotten structure and start again from scratch? All of them OUT and build from the ground up. This is a huge black mark on him that he is ignoring at his own peril. Don’t understand why he is not taking this on.
j_not_a says
Should have clarified by “him” I meant Trump.
LR says
Just because someone says they will ‘drain the swamp’ doesn’t mean they will.
I never trust anything anybody says when they are running for office these days. It’s kind of a crap shoot to me.
We are a very split country, and I figure one of the best things to do is try to keep it from corruption as much as possible, no matter what side politically people are on.

Jack Holan says
CORRUPTION! It’s the correct word for the FBIs obfuscation and dereliction of duty. As usual ROBERT you’ve called a spade a spade!

Because admitting the truth might make some brown people very angry. And the FBI doesn’t want to be called “racist”.
Donovan Nuera says
“It’s totally obvious that otherwise shy Kazi was invited to a BBQ at the base and was overenthusiastic about being part of a friendly social gathering and just brought too many propane tanks and forgot to ensure their valves were secure while practicing witty jokes he was hoping to use making all sorts of new friends!!” -FBI Agent Jones’ assessment as of today.

Well it’s not exactly an X-File, now is it

sarcasm is the only way to deal with this..
What could possibly motivate a muslim to try to slay the unbelievers wherever he finds them because there must be some place where the muslim gets the idea to slay the unbelievers wherever he finds them?
Could it possibly….conceivably.. have something to do with allah’s perversely immoral,wicked,Sixth-Commandment-of-God violating koranic instruction to..
“SLAY THE UNBELIEVERS WHEREVER YE FIND THEM”
koran 2 v 191
The unbelievers:ALL non-muslims{Jews,Christians,Hindus,Sikhs,Atheists,Buddhists..}and ex-muslims
Places to find them:in their OWN countries..shopping malls…airports…schools(remember Beslan?}
Bacherbazistan says
re sarcasm – yes ridicule is one of the best ways to deal with this.
perhaps a JW booby prize for most stupid law enforcement statement/action of the month?
winning law enforcement agency to be advised of their award.
award to be something ridiculous e.g. in the shape of a butt.
perhaps also a spoof annual award with Robert doing the presentation on youtube?
and the winner of the 2018 Clouseau Prize for idiotic policing is….? (my bet would be on Sweden)
anyone think this is a good idea?
alternative suggestions welcome.

Terra Nova says
I think, WE should not stick our heads in the sand. It is not going to change. The guy who drove the burning van into the Air Force Base with the propane and gastanks, suddenly, before he entered the base, became temporarily insane and forgot what a steering wheel is for, and what propane and gas can do in a burning car.(sarc).
But if you want to find out who are your FBI CIA, listen to this video on Google:
CIA Agent Whistleblower risks All to expose “The Shadow Government”
Everything is one big FARCE, but a very dangerous one, And why do you still think that Governments and councils are still “sleeping and don’t see what is happening. That are NOT SLEEPING !!!
They know it all too well and I personally think, in combination with the EU, UN, EU, club of Rome, Bil-
derberg Group,in combination with the N.W.O with his rich Illuminatis/Cabal have decided that there are to many people on this planet ,what is not convenient for them, because it threatens their enormous wealth, and they have picked out who’s turn it is to disappear and to be wiped out. And how much better can you do that, than keeping your own hands “clean” but getting hordes of Barbaric people in with a Barbaric religion and put them up against “another race”? And I think, that is what they did and the governments of Europe are all in it and I think Canada too and may be more. They worked on this plan I think for more then 30 years and the big plan started 5 years ago, before almost 50 years ago the plan started, very slowly but surely and in the end what better people and religion than the Muslims and Islam, people with no empathy, no pity, a total death cult. A MASTERPLAN !!! I must say, and you really have to be so sick to think this all out. I, myself could not even dream something like this up.
Let us keep faith in our Creator, very important and we will see what will happen, something very unexpected, I believe. What did people make of this beautiful planet where 103 people hold all the money of the world in their hands, people calculated it, all the money the riches have, could provide the whole world with food houses, medical care, everybody who is poor, . for 7 YEARS. So you can imagine how much money that is, I forgot how much it was, but it was an enormous amount. But , if you can , listen to the guy in the video, most was known already. And I really wondered and I was happy, that so many people and schoolchildren wen on a protest march through the whole of the USA against the weapon law. And that was not even the case for me, but the pleasant thing for me was, that there were so many people who believed in something, what the thought was not right and all together made such a protest against something that was not right, that is what you need, protesters by the numbers, no wars or fighting, but just coming up for something you absolutely don’t agree with. And I hope some day that will happen and that people will say, this violence is ENOUGH 1 No more !!!
