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

Maryland: Muslim who plotted vehicular jihad massacre led prayer services at Islamic Society of Germantown

Apr 10, 2019 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“Osman Alaalla, 61, came to pray Monday evening at a 5 p.m. service at the Islamic Society of Germantown. He said Henry typically led that service….’He’s very peaceful,’ he said.”

Yes, clearly.

What is taught at the Islamic Society of Germantown? Did Rondell Henry get his idea to align himself with the Islamic State and take up their call for vehicular jihad massacres at the Islamic Society of Germantown? Did he learn there that he should hate non-Muslims and do violence to them? Is anyone going to investigate this mosque in light of Henry’s jihad plotting, or will any concerns about this mosque be waved away with the claim that he was “radicalized on the Internet”? Would investigating this mosque be “Islamophobic”?

“Man accused of ISIS-inspired plot to ram truck into pedestrians near DC,” Associated Press, April 8, 2019:

WASHINGTON — A Maryland man inspired by the Islamic State group plotted to ram a stolen U-Haul truck into as many pedestrians as possible at a popular convention and tourist destination just outside the nation’s capital, federal prosecutors said Monday….

“I was just going to keep driving and driving and driving. I wasn’t going to stop,” the document quotes Henry as telling law enforcement authorities who questioned him. He said he wanted to create “panic and chaos” similar to a deadly truck attack that killed scores of people in Nice, France in 2016, prosecutors say….

The government’s six-page detention motion describes Henry as harboring hatred for “disbelievers” and looking to emulate Islamic State militants he saw on beheading videos and fighting overseas.

On his phone, which prosecutors say he discarded on a highway in an apparent attempt to conceal evidence, authorities found images of the ISIS flag, armed ISIS fighters and the man who carried out the massacre in an Orlando, Florida, nightclub three years ago.

The document alleges that Henry, a computer engineer, walked off his job in the middle of the day on March 26 and stole a U-Haul van from the parking garage of a mall in Virginia after determining that his four-door sedan “would not cause the catastrophic damage that he desired.”

He first considered an attack at Dulles International Airport, trying unsuccessfully over two hours to breach the security perimeter by slipping in through a checkpoint or accessing a restricted area, prosecutors said.

From there, he headed to National Harbor – a waterfront complex of restaurants, retail and hotels in Maryland.

“But so early in the morning on a weekday,” prosecutors wrote, “the defendant did not find the sizable crowd upon which he desired to inflict his radical conduct.”…

Acquaintances of Henry expressed surprise at the allegations.

Osman Alaalla, 61, came to pray Monday evening at a 5 p.m. service at the Islamic Society of Germantown. He said Henry typically led that service. Alaalla described Henry as a quiet, nice man but said he didn’t know anything about his personal life. He said he would come to pray and leave.

“He’s very peaceful,” he said.

    Back when people were more rational about Islam the NYPD found out that some Mosques were actually teaching the real Islam and correctly labeled them terrorist organizations. Eventually it all got shut down over the civil rights of murderers. Mosques, especially the Saudi funded ones, are ALL essentially terror organizations; you can’t be for Islam and at the same time be for the constitution of the United States, but a lot of people pretend that isn’t so.

      Agreed, 100%.

      We must look at the big picture.

      Terrorism isn’t the problem. Terrorism is a “tactic.” Declaring a war on terrorism is like declaring a war on flanking and ambushes.

      Our enemy isn’t terror. Our enemy is the motivation behind the terror.

      Our enemy is Islam, and those who subscribe to it.

      We’re not required to tolerate an enemy who practices an ideology that pursues our extermination.

          We certainly beat the Soviet Union–a good thing.

          But yes–Communist ideas have been disturbingly infiltrating the West for some time now–especially in education.

        It is clear that anyone who is associated with islam should be treated with suspicion. None can truly be trusted. Was the guy involved, a black muslim? They have two axes to grind.

    US Mosques and Islamic Community Centers are barracks and Forward Operating Bases (FOBs) for the Ummah.

    The sooner we recognize them as such, the better off we’ll be.

    Look at the long game, not the short game, because that’s what our enemy is doing.

      And a dangerous enemy at that. One thing about muslims is they are a patient people. Their patience can last for thousands of years. On a whole, I think us westerners value our short little lives more than they do (as we should, life is good). This is a huge advantage in their favor.

    Ah yes:those islamic “prayers” to AL Lah “The BEST of deceivers” k3:54,islam’s Arab pagan god Lah,seem to be the cause of so much trouble in this world…

    So, to whom are they praying to?

    Jews pray to YHWH:The Biblical God of the 2 chief commandments of LOVE
    Christians pray to God:the Biblical God of the 2 chief commandments of LOVE
    {Different theology between the OT and the NT BUT the SAME {10 Exodus chapter20+ 2 chief laws.That’s why Judaism and Christianity are in the SAME Biblical fold}

    But who are muslims “praying” to since we know Al Lah “The BEST of deceivers”is NOT the Biblical God?

    muslims “pray” to their god {AL Lah=the god lah}: a god who does NOT subscribe to those 2 chief laws which explains why islam has the Doctrine of HATE{al walaa wal baraa}instead of LOVE.

    Moses{Hebrew}: O God of Israel…Bring Peace and blessings and protection to Israel
    God: I hear you Moshe
    allah: what the hell.. is that language?It’s not Arabic*Why isn’t my muslim prophet Musa speaking Arabic?

    Jesus{Aramaic}:Bring Peace and blessings to Mankind
    God: I hear you Jesus
    allah: Now what language is it this time?Why is issa my muslim prophet speaking another language and to the Jewish God of Israel: *ugh*??

    muhammed{7th c Arabic}:haha Death to all infidels!Murder and hate the kuffar!allahu akbar,allahu akbar.

    God: WHAT.. THE HELL.. WAS THAT?7tc arabic:I never listen to muslim “prayers” anyway..
    allah At last I understand!Something about..the Jews…was it?

    * Al Lah,the linguistically-challenged god of islam{or the MSP,muhammed’s sock puppet} has a problem with other languages:

    “What!A FOREIGN TONGUE and an Arab?” koran 41 v 44

      FYI, the primary Islamic texts are very confused and confusing, because they were clumsily fabricated when a series of unrelated religious texts were cut and pasted together to form them. For that reason, there will be at least two teachings on almost every topic and two competing answers to every question … dozens of these egregious contradictions are part of everyday Islam.

      It is hard to study these confusing teachings and to master them. All that Kafirs (such as us) really need to know is that ‘ISLAM HATES US’ (as candidate Donald Trump said).

      The teaching of AL WALAA WAL BARAA (association with Muslims and apartheid from kafirs) should be mastered by all Kafirs and armed with that knowledge we will be able to defeat supremacist Islam.

      Allah hates us and wants Muslims to hate us too, and become Allah’s bounty hunters.

    This guy is from a country(Trinidad) which according to a news source,’ has one of the highest per capita ISIS recruitment in the world’ More than 150 from there have joined ISIS. It’s noteworthy that followers of other religion -in that country- aren’t joining terrorist groups and only Muslims are.

    Rondell Henry ‘typically led’ the prayers at the mosque. So one cannot claim that Rondell Henry did not know his duty to HATE KAFIRS ‘for the sake of Allah’ and to engage in religious warfare against them.

    Muslims who regularly attended services he led thought “He’s very peaceful”.

    Muslims cannot tell a Muslims who is plotting to conduct jihad from on who is not thinking of jihad.

    So how can we spot jihadis who enter Western countries from non-jihadists? Answer: we can’t.

    Only a weekly lie-detector test (if expertly administered) could reveal a jihad plot in the mind of a Muslim. We would need to test every Muslim every week in order to prevent jihads.

    Interestingly, 15% of Muslims attend the mosque and 15% self-declare as supporters of a terrorist organization. Is this coincidence?

    If it is not a coincidence it suggests that the more Muslims study and practice Islam, the more likely they are to be jihadists.

    Back in the olden days when all we had to worry about were serial killers who sneaked around in the darkness and killed one or two victims at a time, (Serial killers weren’t all we had to worry about.),
    the neighbors of the guilty would always express surprise and say, “I didn’t know him very well, but he was a quiet man, seemed nice.”

    And then the FBI formed the Behavioral Science Unit and began to “profile” serial killers so they could be caught before they killed again.

    When it comes to moslims and the teachings of islam, the FBI are not allowed to “profile” and collect information on these “quiet” people who are seething cauldrons of evil, just waiting for the right moment to find a way to kill a lot of people all at once for their fake and evil “god” per the demon’s instructions.

    ’He’s very peaceful,’ he said.”

    Just like the director of CAGE, in Britain, stating gleefully that Muhammad “Jihadi John” Emwazi was a “beautiful man.” Unreal that we aren’t able or willing to filter creeps like this from entering our societies. Also a statement of the times that they feel perfectly comfortable making such anti-Western statements.

    Maryland: Muslim who plotted vehicular jihad massacre led prayer services at Islamic Society of Germantown

    I think there is too much emphasis being placed on ISIS being the muslim culprit when it comes to individuals preparing to, or actually committing, crimes against society. Like this Muslim who may haven gotten his eagerness from an Islamic organization and many maybe get their eagerness from mosques and on line outlets.
    All this is outlined in their book if hate and hadath and if they really believe so why should ISIS or other Terrorist groups be the only place they receive their ideas to commit crimes?

    Go time, for prayer warrior, Osaman Alaalla, Maryland Muslim

    ( dlbrand April 11, 2019 Khalid Masood, OpposingIslam)

    By Debi Brand

    ….; Alaalla said, once into that crowd, “‘I was just going to keep driving and driving and driving.’”

    “‘I wasn’t going to stop,’” states the document relating what “Henry” told “law enforcement authorities who questioned him. He said he wanted to create ‘panic and chaos’ similar to a deadly truck attack that killed scores of people in Nice, France in 2016….”

    So what do we have here?

    Answer: Just another “good believer,” one among, “those who believe,” thus, one living by “the Book.”

    “The document alleges that Henry, a computer engineer, walked off his job in the middle of the day on March 26 … [stole a U-Haul van] ….”

    What time was that [when he “walked off his job”] ?

    Go time — the time, the moment in which nice quite “peace-filled” Muslim man, hurls aside that veil, makes bare his heart and soul.

    Thus bared a heart and soul brimming, and then some, with precepts from “Allah’s Book.”

    ………………

    Because his “religion” teaches him, he and his “brothers and sisters in faith,” they are “God’s elect.”

    “Allah,” snatching up for himself, the identity of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

    Thus….

    …………………….

    That “God,” the one who made his desire for his people Israel clear; stating, to them He would beckon their enemies, “Come.” Do so, he said to his elect, “That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thy enemies, and the tongue of thy dog in the same.” (Living Bible Paraphrased, KJV respectively.)

    “ … til every one submit himself [to you] with pieces of silver….” ‘Til those enemies come, “ … submissive, tax in hand.” (Psalms, 68: 30, KJV, Living Bible Paraphrased respectively.)

    Such is the inheritance that the Ummah of Muhammad believes is theirs– theirs to enjoy.

    Thus, the ever-so-common thirst in them, to leave in their wake, if not rivers then at least pools aflow with the blood of their enemies…

    As is being spoken to in, soon-to-post, Chapter Five: The sword promised to “Allah’s Messenger,” Khalid Masood, no Muslim, mere Muslim, or one among “those who believe”?

    To put up with airport security checks we have to pretend that we are stupid. We have to pretend that the 80 year-old grandmother is as dangerous as those six imams shouting “Allahu Akbar.” Props to Evan Sayet.

    When Western Civilization conflicts with Islam, the West gives in to a 7th century savagery. How did this insanity happen? A vote for indiscriminate modern liberalism is a vote to live under a self-enforced Sharia.
