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

Ohio: Man converts to Islam, plots jihad massacre at synagogue, says Pittsburgh synagogue victims deserved death

Dec 10, 2018 1:44 pm By Robert Spencer

Did Damon Joseph grow up hating Jews? Or was he influenced by the teachings of his new holy book?

The Qur’an depicts the Jews as inveterately evil and bent on destroying the well-being of the Muslims. They are the strongest of all people in enmity toward the Muslims (5:82); they fabricate things and falsely ascribe them to Allah (2:79; 3:75, 3:181); they claim that Allah’s power is limited (5:64); they love to listen to lies (5:41); they disobey Allah and never observe his commands (5:13). They are disputing and quarreling (2:247); hiding the truth and misleading people (3:78); staging rebellion against the prophets and rejecting their guidance (2:55); being hypocritical (2:14, 2:44); giving preference to their own interests over the teachings of Muhammad (2:87); wishing evil for people and trying to mislead them (2:109); feeling pain when others are happy or fortunate (3:120); being arrogant about their being Allah’s beloved people (5:18); devouring people’s wealth by subterfuge (4:161); slandering the true religion and being cursed by Allah (4:46); killing the prophets (2:61); being merciless and heartless (2:74); never keeping their promises or fulfilling their words (2:100); being unrestrained in committing sins (5:79); being cowardly (59:13-14); being miserly (4:53); being transformed into apes and pigs for breaking the Sabbath (2:63-65; 5:59-60; 7:166); and more. They are under Allah’s curse (9:30), and Muslims should wage war against them and subjugate them under Islamic hegemony (9:29).

“Man accused of planning attack on Ohio synagogue arrested on terror-related charge,” WSYX/WTTE, December 10, 2018:

TOLEDO, Ohio (WSYX/WTTE) – A 21-year-old Ohio man is accused of attempting to provide support to foreign terrorist organizations, after investigators say not only did he plot to support ISIS, but he was trying to plan an attack on a Toledo-area synagogue after he was inspired by the Pittsburgh attack.

Damon Joseph, of Holland, Ohio, was arrested Dec. 7 on one charge of attempting to provide material support and resources. Investigators say they first became aware of Joseph in May through social media, and say they watched him progress in a matter of months from consuming ISIS propaganda to making videos in order to inspire others to planning attacks.

Agents say after the attack on the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh in October Joseph said Jewish people are evil and “they got what was coming to them.” Investigators say he also talked to an undercover employee that he was planning a shooting, and even came up with a draft plan, identifying two synagogues as targets. He wanted to inflict mass casualties, and “wanted to kill a rabbi” according to investigators. They also say he planned to attack any responding law enforcement.

Joseph was unable to legally purchase or own a firearm due to a past conviction, but investigators say he took possession of two rifles he thought the undercover officer had bought for the attack. He was arrested after taking possession of the rifles Friday.

“He attempted to recruit others to this plot. He selected firearms – firearms that he handpicked because he believed they would deliver the maximum amount of damage and destruction,” US Attorney Justin Herdman said….

    conversion to islam=the Excuse

    To commit murder
    to commit TREASON
    to commit terror offenses in emulation of islam’s prophet
    [“I have been made victorious through terror” bukhari 4:52:220}
    to be antisemitic{note how this always appears..} or antichristian
    to be free to bear false witness{taqqiya etc}
    to be free to violate God’s official commandments{see Exodus 20}
    to be free to hate{there are no two chief commandments in islam}
    to be free of the Golden Rule
    to be allowed to do those things the koran permits
    {child brides,sex slave women,polygamy,stealing from infidels,murdering innocent}

    That’s conversion to allah{“the best of deceivers” k3:54}=DISOBEDIENCE to God’s MORAL laws and of course there are no Two chief commandments in islam

    Conversion to God{who is NOT allah!}=OBEDIENCE to God’s 10+ 2 chief Laws

    It’s not hard to differentiate between the Biblical Judeo-Christian God and the koranic islamic allah the champion deceiver.

    “If the Lord be God,follow Him.
    But if baal be god follow him”
    I KINGS 18 v 21

    The reason they choose allah over God is explained in 2 Thessalonians 2 v 10-12
    They choose to be guided by the power of error so that they believe what is false:thus the mechanism of wheat-chaff separation is revealed.They don’t WELCOME and LOVE the Truth enough…….

    That Muslim who lives in Ohio and he actually liked and endorsed the heinous and murderous shooting which occurred in the synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. So much so he said that the shooting victim s had “deserved death.” This Muslim by saying that had exposed his callous, vicious and malicious Muslim mindset.” Likewise, his words reflect Islam’s, actual, violent, ruthless and deadly essence. Likewise, he also revealed the total and complete falsehood of the lying claim made by some that “Islam is a non-violent, peaceful religion.”
    That this Muslim man, Damon Joseph, is obviously glad and happy about disaster that came upon those people in the synagogue in which many them were murdered is an affront to all that is good decent just and right. So much so that Proverbs 17:5 from the Bible may apply in this case. For it reads “He who is glad at calamity will not go unpunished .” [N.K.J.V.]

    In addition this is a very strong reminder of the wisdom found in the speech given by a former US President, William Howard Taft, For in that speech President Taft declared “Antisemitism is a noxious weed that should be cut out. It has no place in America.”

    There is no bigger loser than the attention-seeking, socially-isolated western dupe who converts to Islam, in the transparently vain hope that it will provide him or her with some level of “cachet” and attention that was previously denied to them.

      Ditto, Guy!
      Now for words that ring true, and should be read by these losers:

      There’s a place in the world for the angry young man
      With his working class ties and his radical plans
      He refuses to bend, he refuses to crawl
      He’s always at home with his back to the wall
      And he’s proud of his scars and the battles he’s lost
      And he struggles and bleeds as he hangs on the cross
      And he likes to be known as the angry young man

      Give a moment or two to the angry young man
      With his foot in his mouth and his heart in his hand
      He’s been stabbed in the back, he’s been misunderstood
      It’s a comfort to know his intentions are good
      And he sits in a room with a lock on the door
      With his maps and his medals laid out on the floor
      And he likes to be known as the angry young man

      I believe I’ve passed the age of consciousness and righteous rage
      I found that just surviving was a noble fight
      I once believed in causes too
      I had my pointless point of view
      And life went on no matter who was wrong or right

      And there’s always a place for the angry young man
      With his fist in the air and his head in the sand
      And he’s never been able to learn from mistakes
      So he can’t understand why his heart always breaks
      But his honor is pure and his courage as well
      And he’s fair and he’s true and he’s boring as hell
      And he’ll go to the grave as an angry old man

      There’s a place in the world for the angry young man
      With his working class ties and his radical plans
      He refuses to bend, he refuses to crawl
      He’s always at home with his back to the wall
      And he’s proud of his scars and the battles he’s lost
      And he struggles and bleeds as he hangs on the cross
      And he likes to be known as the angry young man.

    What ? Another Anglo-Celtic jihadist? Did he also CHANGE HIS RACE ??? Will Damon Joseph CHANGE HIS RACE BACK to Anglo-Celtic when he leaves Islam some time in the next 19 months???

    Most converts Islam abandon it after about 19 months.

    • gravenimage says

      Dec 10, 2018 at 9:05 pm

      Mortimer, I know you have talked about Anglo-Celtic Jihadists before–once, based on a Jihadist in Australia having red hair, although he actually had dark brown or black hair, and may not have been a convert.

      There is no particular reason to think that Damon Joseph is Anglo-Celtic. “Joseph” is not an Irish name. You do find this name in England–but also in France and Germany.

      Why do you think that this tool is specifically Anglo-Celtic?

      We have indeed seen Anglo-Celtic converts to the foul creed of Islam–but they come from many other backgrounds, as well–I have not seen any indication that this is primarily a Celtic phenomenon.

        I dunno, a lot of irish in Toledo, but his background is not necessarily so. Holland Ohio as I remember was sort of a middle class place. I used to be in Toledo on business trips a lot.

        Doesn’t just have to be Irish GI. The Celtic nations include Scotland Wales Cornwall Brittany and Isle of Man.

        • gravenimage says

          Dec 12, 2018 at 10:59 pm

          You are right, Ecosse. I still see no specific indication that this Jihadist is Anglo-Celtic.

    Luckily, Islam causes stupidity. So, the first things first things these people do after after pronouncing the Shahada and becoming official morons is to start announcing their plans on social media.

    and will any of his instructors, his teachers, his mosques, be evalutated for their contribution for his evil intentions? Not likely. Not likely that any of them will be asked to explain how he became such a danger to all others.

    The Pittsburgh synagogue attack should serve to remind us that anti-semitic attacks can come from many different directions, neo-Nazis, KKK-types, white nationalists as well as Islamist jihadis-as illustrated by this particular character. My opinion is still that most of today’s anti-semitism comes from Islamic quarters, but we must condemn all forms of anti-semitism.

      +1 as well.

      In attempting to engage my fellow American Jews about the different flavors of Jew hatred, i.e., the “classical” European form, the new alt-Right form, and Islamic, it’s like talking to a wall. They cluck-cluck-cluck about how horrible it is… but when push comes to shove, don’t have any interest in understanding the different drivers of it.

      This is Jewicidal; only by understanding the motives and drivers of your enemies can you have a prayer of defeating them.

    As soon as this Joseph took possession of the rifles he should have been shot law enforcement. One less to waste tax payers money. He has no qualms about killing others, so why show him leniency. He has been convicted earlier of a crime, so that makes him a criminal, whether he is Muslim or not.
