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

Robert Spencer: The Jihad in Michigan That No One Noticed

Nov 13, 2018 7:00 am By Robert Spencer

My latest over at the Geller Report:

A Muslim migrant named Amor Ftouhi is on trial now for his June 2017 stabbing of police officer Lt. Jeff Neville at Bishop International Airport in Flint, Michigan. The case has, unsurprisingly, received hardly any establishment media attention, and that may be because it is such a quintessential example of jihad: Ftouhi screamed “Allahu akbar” as he stabbed Neville in the neck (as commanded in Qur’an 47:4, “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks”) and has since then made numerous statements making it abundantly clear that he stabbed Neville because of his Islamic faith. Hard to ascribe this one to “mental illness.”

At Ftouhi’s trial on Thursday, according to MLive, FBI Special Agent Shadi Elreda, one of the agents who interrogated Ftouhi, testified: “He asked us if the officer was dead. I responded with ‘I didn’t know.’ He put his head down and was crying. He said his intention was to kill the officer….He said that he was here for his mission — his mission was to kill a United States government employee. His mission was to kill and be killed. He said his mission was not over. He said he would have a better chance of success and enter into heaven. He said they needed to act against the enemies of Allah. He blamed the United States government for their support of Israel.”

He cried because he failed. “His mission was to kill and be killed.” Why was that his mission? Because the Qur’an promises Paradise to those who kill and are killed: “Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (9:111)

He didn’t kill, and he wasn’t killed, so he failed doubly. He did, however, try to fix one aspect of that: “Elreda told the court that Ftouhi asked Elreda to kill him multiple times during the interrogation.”

Elreda also recounted that Ftouhi “said there was significance in an international airport — that the whole world would see what he did. He wanted all the Muslims to see what he did — to not be afraid and to act against the enemy.”

MLive further reported that “Ftouhi told investigators he visited a few mosques in Flint before heading to Bishop Airport.” What? He visited mosques? But…jihad violence has nothing to do with Islam! Isn’t that what the “experts” always tell us?

Ftouhi also “wrote in the will that he has loved his wife for 20 years, but his love for Jihad was stronger. ‘This is what a Muslim is born for,’ Maryse Robert, a federal investigator with the Royal Canadian Police said Ftouhi’s will stated. ‘You have been a good wife for more than 20 years. My love for God Almighty and the jihad for his sake is greater. I suggest that you use the life insurance policy to return to Tunisia.’”

Where did Ftouhi get the idea that a Muslim was “born” in order to try to kill Infidels? Are “moderate Muslims” in Michigan going to visit him in prison and explain to him the true, peaceful Islam?

In reality, of course, what Amor Ftouhi believes is taught in numerous mosques all over the world. All the mainstream Islamic sects and schools of jurisprudence teach the necessity for Muslims to wage war against and subjugate unbelievers. Amor Ftouhi’s beliefs are not eccentric and didn’t spring from nowhere, but no Western authorities want to face the implications of that.

Ftouhi, MLive also tells us, “grew up in Tunisia and told federal agents he was in the North African country and celebrated following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States.” When he was admitted to the United States, no one would have dared ask him what he thought of 9/11. The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) would have immediately initiated an “Islamophobia” lawsuit, and the responsible official would have been publicly humiliated and probably lost his or her job.

And so those charges of “Islamophobia” were avoided and Ftouhi was admitted into the country, only to join the ever-lengthening list of Muslim migrants who have committed acts of jihad violence in their land of refuge. A few examples: Somali Muslim migrant Mohammad Barry in February 2016 stabbed multiple patrons at a restaurant owned by an Israeli Arab Christian; Ahmad Khan Rahami, an Afghan Muslim migrant, in September 2016 set off bombs in New York City and New Jersey; Arcan Cetin, a Turkish Muslim migrant, in September 2016 murdered five people in a mall in Burlington, Washington; Dahir Adan, another Somali Muslim migrant, in October 2016 stabbed mall shoppers in St. Cloud while screaming “Allahu akbar”; and Abdul Razak Artan, yet another Somali Muslim migrant, in November 2016 injured nine people with car and knife attacks at Ohio State University. 72 jihad terrorists have come to the U.S. from the countries listed in Trump’s initial immigration ban.

A migrant. “Allahu akbar.” Striking the neck. Crying that his victim wasn’t dead. Wanting to leave an example for Muslims worldwide. Celebrating 9/11. Visiting mosques before his jihad attack. Saying a Muslim was born to commit acts of jihad violence. No wonder the establishment media won’t tell you about Amor Ftouhi.

    media has no balls when it comes to reporting the truth about jihad murderers; i dont really give a damn if they go to ‘heaven’ or not; take your murdering asses back to where you came from.

      Jennifer..There’s no way Muslims can go to heaven until they repent..I want everyone to go to heaven but repentance is a requirement.

      • Highsider says

        Nov 13, 2018 at 2:02 pm

        They will never repent, since their so called holy book teaches them that killing unbelievers is not a sin, but is loved by allah (Satan). It truly is devil worship.

    This one was living in New Brunswick, and one of Canada’s vetted immigrants. That is probably why the media is so silent. He most certainly not the first new canadian to go into the USA to cause death and destruction.

      Is anyone else having problems reading their post after posting?
      Even when I try to repost I get a message saying it is a duplicate yet my original post don’t appear..and this probably won’t either

        Comments are typically showing up a half hour to an hour and a half after posting. I’ve been having this problem since last Thursday,but I know many people have been having this problem for much longer. And at least one post from the day before yesterday never showed up at all. Very frustrating.

    “….and to act against the enemy.”
    And who are the enemy?
    We non-muslims are. We the filthy kaffirs, especially Police and soldiers.
    Did Michigan police understand this, or notice it?

    It is time to vet every single person in the UNITED STATES. Look at birth certificates, visas, PassPorts, etc. Include School records…on and on. If they cannot be vetted, off they go back to their homeland. Vet everybody including the UN’s people. If they aren’t who they say they are, off they go.

    I am tired of this crap. Get rid of them

    This is the first I have heard of this..Who has swept it under the rug?The establishment of media or both.
    Please Robert, when you find out about incidents of jihad here in the U.S., that does not get media attention, continue to let us hear about it and Thank you for what you do especially thank you for your latest book.

    “I suggest that you use the life insurance policy to return to Tunisia.’”

    Are life insurance companies so stupid, or so PC-compliant, to pay out on a Muslim suicide?

    Usually policies have a suicide clause: if the suicide occurs within x years of issuance, then no payout. Policies often also have an incontestability clause based on misstatements in the application, or on outright fraud. So-called devout Muslims will, by virtue of the cited Qur’an verses, always have deception in mind on the application.

    • gravenimage says

      Nov 13, 2018 at 6:49 pm

      Muslims have been protesting insurance companies not paying out on suicide bombings. Just insanity.

  8. No Muzzies Here says

    Nov 13, 2018 at 10:26 am

    Do life insurance policies pay when the insured blows himself up in Jihad? If so, then this country has bent down in submission to Sharia.

  9. Robert Carrillo says

    Nov 13, 2018 at 10:37 am

    How about “Collective Insanity”?

    MN Rep. Ilhan Omar, soon to be US congresswoman (bigamist – polyandry-ist – polygamist – perjurer – incest proponent – welfare cheat – immigration fraudster – campaign finance funding scammer), actually proposed “Life Insurance Death Benefits for terrorists”.. ..Not making this up..

    If this continues, America will collapse based upon its own stupidity and cowardice..

    Ftouhi, testified: “He asked us if the officer was dead. I responded with ‘I didn’t know.’ He put his head down and was crying. He said his intention was to kill the officer…. He said that he was here for his mission — his mission was to kill a United States government employee. His mission was to kill and be killed. He said his mission was not over.

    DOES ALLAH REALLY WANT YOU TO KILL THOSE HE HAS CREATED?

    • gravenimage says

      Islamic texts say that Infidels are created for hell. What a sick creed.

    The elite-owned media is ignoring yet another attack against USA citizens by Islamic jihadists. Traitors within the USA and every other Western country are assisting the Islamic invasion into our sacred homelands. How many of us have to be maimed or murdered by these invading barbarians before We, the People rise up and end this madness. The barbarians must be ejected and the traitors spitting upon us sent to military tribunals to determine if they are guilty and if guilty what price they must pay for their anti-USA evil deeds.

    Nov 14, 2018 at 10:41 am

    If not for Robert’s TIRELESS work, even those outside the USA would NEVER know of these GHASTLY attacks of Jehaad. And as I have been screaming hoarse as to how Canada’s immigration policy is SERIOUSLY compromising the USA….

  14. Truth says

    Nov 14, 2018 at 11:38 am

    This evil Muslim came from Canada. Time for Trump to speak bluntly to Canada about their coddling of Islamic terrorists.
