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

Texas: Muslim teen plotted mass shooting jihad massacre at shopping mall

May 2, 2018 12:04 pm By Robert Spencer

He also said, “There is a Hindu temple I want to shoot up.”

Where did Matin Azizi-Yarand learn about Islam? Have his parents been questioned? His local mosque? Or are authorities once again satisfied that he was “radicalized on the Internet” and that all the Muslims around him are benign, peaceful and patriotic?

“North Texas Teen Arrested For Planning Shopping Mall Shooting Spree,” by J.D. Miles, CBSDFW.com, May 2, 2018 (thanks to Jeffery):

MCKINNEY (CBSDFW.COM) – Authorities have arrested a 17-year-old high school student who was allegedly planning a mass shooting at a North Texas shopping mall.

Matin Azizi-Yarand has been taken into custody and charged with terrorism for plotting an attack at the Stonebriar Centre in Frisco. The shooting was allegedly set to happen sometime in May.

Azizi-Yarand is said to have spent $1,400 on weapons and tactical gear for his attack.

Law enforcement officials have obtained the Plano High School student’s “manifesto” in which he allegedly pledged allegiance to ISIS. Authorities said that Azizi-Yarand was also trying to solicit others into joining him on the mass shooting spree, though affidavits suggest that he wanted to be a “lone wolf.”…

According to an affidavit, the case began in December 2017 when Azizi-Yarand started communicating with an FBI source in a mobile messaging app. It is here that Azizi-Yarand allegedly expressed his desire to commit an attack, adding that he had been reading ISIS guides for “performing operations and making bombs.”

Azizi-Yarand had reportedly also been reviewing a guide to making pipe bombs which was authored by Eric Harris, one of the attackers in teh [sic] 1999 shooting at Columbine High School….

In his earliest conversations with the FBI’s source, Azizi-Yarand allegedly said, “It is not about how many kill, but how much money you will make these countries spend in security just for a simple attack… although having a high number will get their attention.”

“I want to put America in the state that Europe is in, which is having to have soldiers deployed in streets,” Azizi-Yarand added, according to an affidavit. “Something that will cost them a lot financially too.”…

In multiple conversations with the FBI’s source, Azizi-Yarand allegedly said that he hoped to travel to Pakistan, and then cross the border into Afghanistan in order to officially join ISIS. He also allegedly said that he would use the mobile messaging app to find others who could help him with an attack.

Azizi-Yarand invited the FBI source to Dallas late last year. “There is a Hindu temple I want to shoot up,” the suspect allegedly said, asking for help. “Get some crappy car and ditch it somewhere. Police response time here is really slow.” He said that he was waiting until he obtained a “proper gun” to commit that shooting….

    Islam manufactures insanity.

      Originally, it was the other way around: Insanity of one man created Islam. But after over 1400 Mohammedan years, you are right: Now the slavish dependence on the “word of allah” clearly incubates insanity. At least it is used as obvious rationalization by our “experts” on “religion of peace” like the pope and the rest of them.

        I do not believe it was insanity or normal insanity. Muhammad thought at first that he was possessed by a demon in the cave in 610 AD. I believe the “Angel Gabriel” was really Satan and the revelations (Quran) Mo supposedly got from the allah god were really from Satan. I am Christian and the Quran denies Christ’s divinity and death on the cross, lies against the eye witnessed Gospels…Muhammad had no witnesses to his revelations. Jesus says in John 8:44 that “Satan is the father of all lies”…So if Mo made it all up or it was Satan, lies in either case.

    I had no idea Eric Harris had authored a paper on pipe bombs.

    If the FBI found this on Eric’s computer I wonder why it was uploaded to the internet.

      He and his ilk are enemy combatants. He belongs to Gitmo – no usual criminal justice procedure should be applied here.

      I Gitmo, he should get an expedited court marshal and sentence.

    He’s not likely to be this year’s poster child for National Brotherhood Week. Or has that been cancelled yet again for conflicting with Ramadan?

    Why do “believers” do what they do?

    OpposingIslam

    ………………………………………………………

    …. “‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ood,” in speaking of “the generation of the righty-guided Khaleefahs,‘Whoever wishes to follow a good example, then let him follow the example of those who have already died (i.e., from the Prophet’s Companions).’” (As-Sallaabee, Biography of Abu Bakr, Intro, P. 16.)

    …. “the Muhajirun and the people of Yathrib [the Ansar] who had become Muslim affirmed” Muhammad and his Shari’a, as spoken of above. In other words … examples that the believers are commanded to follow, examples that hail from the dusty streets of a city once called Yathrib—pre-Medina of old.

    And in Medina of old, sunnah ruled. Sunnah, such as, “the prophet (may Allaah send salutations upon him) sanctioned the killing of the woman who cursed him.” (Qayyim, P. 704.) So too, “the killing of Ka’b b. Bin Ashraf and Abu Raafi,” ….. (Ibid.)

    “He executed a group of Jews who cursed him.” (Ibid.) And as “Aboo Daawud has relayed,” narrated by Ali, concerning a Jewish woman who allegedly “used to curse the prophet (may Allaah send salutations upon him). As a result, a man strangled her to death, so the messenger of Allaah (may Allaah send salutations upon him) sanctioned the killing.” (Ibid.)

    Such are the practices the “believers” are to emulate, sanction, and practice. The traditions they are to value and cherish.

    And to think there are hundreds of thousands more just like him in north america, plotting to cause terror and death upon those who disagree with their doctrine.

    Yes what I have heard the Hindus in the GTA are quite concerned. But then they have had,or their ancestors have had experience with this hate for the past thousand years. Unfortunately the majority of canadians have not, and are not aware what the future will bring. Canada’s justice system is too politically correct and will not be much of an deterrent to these rising young thugs. It will be interesting to see what Texas does.

    …………………

    He also wants to go on a rampage at a Hindu temple.

    And note that he wants to make things in the US as bad as Europe–and to backrupt us.

    All of this is the Muslim agenda.

    Will any ask where Matin Azizi-Yarand learned any of this? Probably not.

    His parents are not Muslim, he hid that he had converted. I know him.
