10 Saudi military students at Pensacola Naval Air Station now detained after jihad massacre

Dec 8, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

And only one filmed the jihad massacre; earlier reports said that three had done so: “It has also been reported that one Saudi student allegedly videotaped al-Shamrani’s attack, while two others watched from a nearby car. It’s believed that those three Saudis are among the 10 who have been detained.”

These grotesque videos serve as recruiting tools among young Muslims who take to heart the Qur’an’s injunctions to “kill them wherever you find them” (Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, cf. 9:5).

An update on this story. “Military bases across the U.S are put on high alert as FBI hunts missing Saudi servicemen linked to Pensacola shooting and probes shooter’s trip to New York two days before as terror investigators are called in,” by Andrew Court, Dailymail.com, December 8, 2019:

…Investigators have now detained 10 Saudi military students from the base – a number revised up from six – but several others remain unaccounted for.

Authorities have not revealed the number of Saudi students they are still looking for, and they have not stated whether they are a risk to the public.

The New York Times reports that al-Shamrani and three fellow Saudi students traveled from Pensacola to New York last week, where they visited several museums and are thought to have watched the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting ceremony.

The tree lighting, attended by thousands of people, took place on Wednesday evening – just 36 hours before the shootings occurred.

According to one source, investigators are probing the motive for the group’s trip to the city. They also want to know who the men met with while they were there.

Meanwhile, sources with knowledge of the investigation say that three Saudi serviceman joined al-Shamrani for a dinner party on Thursday night to watch videos of mass shootings.

It has also been reported that one Saudi student allegedly videotaped al-Shamrani’s attack, while two others watched from a nearby car. It’s believed that those three Saudis are among the 10 who have been detained.

While Friday’s shooting his has not yet been officially deemed a terror attack, FBI terrorism investigators have been pictured investigating at the Pensacola base….

    Ever notice or ask yourself why we are constantly told that Iran (Shiites) are the worlds greatest exporter of TERROR, however those who perpetrated
    the 9/11 attacks,
    the Boston bombers, the San Bernardino Christmas party killers, and the Pulse nightclub shooter, and the mother of all recent terrorist groups “ISIS” are ALWAYS (Sunni) Muslims of Saudi Arabian origin?
    NOT Iranian.

    Will America ever get an honest leader who will accurately describe Islam, and all Islamic theocratic nations as being enemies of USA’s Constitutionally protected freedoms?

    With Allies like Saudi Arabia who the hell needs enemies?

      The only Shi’ite Jihad attack that I recall was the one at Chapel Hill – the one by Iranian Mahmoud Taheriazar.

      We have no business being involved in internecine Muslim conflicts, and in the current event that we are, it’s by no means evident that we’re on the right side. We need to withdraw all military involvement in the Middle East (which I define as stretching from Pakistan to Morocco) and evict all of their military students from our academies: not just Saudis, but Egyptian, Bahreini, Kuwaiti and everyone else

        it is unbelievable that military authorities have not checked islam; it just goes to show that they are no more competent than anybody else. because the traitor mr. obama removed all training materials mentioning islam or muslims from national agencies, people are not being warned.

        mind U, i’m not throwing rocks because virtually nobody knows any of this stuff about islam. i, too, am older than dirt, am a voracious reader, and love history … yet i completely missed its vile nature. like most other people, i never heard that islam was poisonous, and simply assumed that because nobody said that it was vile, that it was not. i was simply doing what most educated civilized people do, and that is to look to those with authoritative knowledge of any given subject to discover what the truth is. unfortunately, i, too, was stupid enough to take the word of those 3 times removed from those with authoritative knowledge, and those passing along the information altered the message from the truth into a lie. since my eyes were opened by the constant cover provided to pious muslims by he nazi media, however, i have come to understand how the world *really* works here in today’s civilization. the nazi media are not to be trusted, any more than commies, nazis, kluxers, or muslims should be trusted.

        when 9/11 and 7/7 happened, i looked for an explanation of islam, since nobody could come up with any other explanation of the terrorists’s motives, and they themselves claimed to be serving allah. like most others, i assumed that because islam is “abrahamic” (as it happens, only in the sense marxism and fascism have a common agenda of “freedom” with republics – which is a lie), it must be similar to judaism and christianity, and that the only scripture was the quran. i tried reading the quran, but it was confusing, and not at all in story form like most books of jewish and christian scripitures, so i eventually gave up, having learned close to nothing about islam. a few years ago, when i was trapped in a contract which i could not afford to terminate early, my clashes with my customer led to more free time as i was excluded from development, and while doing wikiwalks, i stumbled across some of robert spencer’s articles, and began to check them out. everything that he said was verified by islamic sources online that had no connection with him.

        like most other civilized people (non-muslims, because most muslims are gangstas), i am less culpable than those in authority, because IT IS NOT MY JOB to know what is dangerous and what is not. i strive to learn such things anyway, however, because the world is, always has been, and always will be, a dangerous place, but i also don’t have access to all the information to the data which those in authority have; furthermore, *I* *PAY* those in authority with my tax dollars to make every effort to learn what is dangerous and put procedures in place to ameliorate the danger. what should have happened, were the nazi media honest, is that a single authority on islam should have pointed out the dangers of islam *decades* ago, and the media should have investigated it *BY LOOKING THEMSELVES*. after all, islam is a religion, not rocket science, and furthermore makes claims of being very clear, so they should have looked. if what the expert said was false, they could have produced a short story pillorying him for being a fear-mongering liar, but if what he said was true, they should have produced a front-page story highlighting the dangers of the cult.

        leftist journalists and politicians claim to be ever so much smarter than we of the stupid stinking masses, yet THEY HAVE NEVER CHECKED ISLAM. either most of them are the tools of hard-core leftists who want to see society collapse so that they can seize power, or they are LYING TRAITORS who are trying to hide the truth. they NEVER produce irrefutable evidence from islamic scriptures demonstrating the peacefulness of islam, instead using abrogated ayat like quran 2:256, neither mentioning nor explaining what abrogation is. finally, and most telling, they go along with the smear of the oxymoron “islamophobia,” used against those telling the truth to silence them, instead of looking themselves to make sure that they are correct. AT BEST, they are lazy, but laziness doesn’t prevent EVERYBODY from looking; that tells me that the hard left is DELIBERATELY hiding the truth, shutting down even leftists if they don’t go along with the smears, and given the history of the left, in which they only succeed in their power grabs when society is in chaos, i can only conclude that the pious muslims they are importing are being used as a proxy army to destroy society. all the hard left must do is provide cover as long as they can, and along with their other avenues of attack upon us, the attacks will cause us to collapse, and without even knowing what is happening.

        thus, i try not to throw too many rocks (except at well-known hard-core leftists and pious muslims), and try to engage those who make the usual uninformed arguments for diversity, so long as “diversity” means “caving to islam.” if i can politely urge such people to actually look at islam, the vestiges of judeo-christian ethics upon which their leftist ideology is constructed may actually shame them into looking, if only to refute me. just getting 1 person to change his mind is important, because that 1 person may be far more able to reach people than am i. i cannot know otherwise, so i must try. it is the only thing i can do to support the republic at this point in my life, although when the civil war comes, i’m sure i will be on the receiving end of a hard-core leftist or pious muslim 9 mm. slug

      The Sydney shooter, Man Haron Monis, was a Shiite from Iran, but he forced his hostages to erect an Islamic State flag in the window and claimed allegiance to the (Nothing to do with) Islamic State.

      • gravenimage says

        Dec 8, 2019 at 9:41 pm

        Yes–thanks for that reminder–even though this Jihadist would likely have been killed in the Islamic State for being the wrong kind of Muslim.

      • Aussie Infidel says

        Dec 8, 2019 at 11:31 pm

        Salome, After the seige at the Lindt Cafe in Sydney in 2014, Muslim apologists in government and academia immediately began defending the Muslim community at large as “peace loving people”, and absolving Islam from any wrong doing. Unfortunately, these ‘useful idiots’ do not understand Islam’s doctrine of jihad, and why it motivates jihadis to murder non-Muslims.
        https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/lindt-cafe-siege-man-monis-was-the-murderer-but-face-it-our-system-failed-too-20170525-gwcwr2.html https://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-12-16/hamad-sydney-siege-confronting-our-anti-islam-backlash/5969636

        The news media is also preoccupied with the need for ‘balance’ in its reporting of obvious facts. After every jihadist attack, there is always the claim that “not all Muslims are terrorists” and that these atrocities have “nothing to do with Islam”. The Muslims are portrayed as ‘victims’ under threat of possible retaliation from the ‘far-right’. But in practice the opposite is the case. In their holy scriptures Muslims are commanded to “fight in the cause of Allah.” Nevertheless, while the militants in the Muslim community are the ones who carry out the attacks, they are often helped by others who the apologetic Western media describe as ‘moderates’.

        News reports from CNN about President Trump, are often simply leftist propaganda. The presenters invariably have that smirk of intellectual superiority and arrogance on their faces, as they denounce Trump’s comments or actions. What ever happened to ipso facto reporting of the news? The media has simply become the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party, with more and more journalists demonstrating their leftist bias, and their misguided understanding of journalistic licence.

    Like a bad dream, we can almost see it now: There may be other Saudi servicemen complicit in the killings. Saudia Arabia will want them extradited to chop off heads, the New York Times will bleed tears for them, they will seek asylum in the US, and serve time preaching Islam in US prisons.

    Amazing!! Twenty years after 9/11 we will train Saudis for the flights!! Somebody should remind these morons that 9/11 terrorists were also trained for flights by our flight training schools! This should have been a no, no. NO Muslims can never be trusted.

      Many, maybe most of them, can always be trusted:

      To obfuscate and make excuses for their theocratic ‘complete way of life’ and to encourage those willing ‘to fight in the way of Allah’ to do so.

    Bringing a gun / ammo onto a US military base is either very easy or nearly impossible depending upon the FPCON Force Protection Condition of the base.

    FPCON ranges from NORMAL through ALPHA, BRAVO, CHARLIE, and DELTA.

    If you happen to get caught, however, you are in VERY BIG trouble…

    “Investigators are probing for a motive”

    Really? Are you people really that stupid? They are Muslims, that’s the motive right there. I first became aware of Muslim terrorism in 1983 when 17 guys I went to bootcamp @ Parris Island died in their beds in Beirut. Since then, nothing has changed my mind that Islam is a death cult that seeks to destroy anyone and everyone who will not bow to them. It might be time to think about the unthinkable…we simply cannot live on the same planet with a people seeks to destroy the roughly 5 billion of us who are’t Muslims…

    • James Lincoln says

      Rich Vail,

      Losing 17 of your fellow Marines that you had trained with is an unthinkable tragedy.

      You have my sincerest condolences.

      Islam is PURE EVIL – with absolutely NO value.

    10 Saudi military students at Pensacola Naval Air Station now detained after jihad massacre
    ……………….

    Good–but I still don’t know how much the powers that be on the base understand about Jihad.

  9. MINAS says

    Dec 9, 2019 at 6:27 am

    Sounds like a case of racial profiling to me. Just because those 10 are Saudi’s and good bro’s with the shooter, and just happened to be innocently videotaping the attack for their leisure time Facebook fun doesn’t mean they were approving and involved in the attack. I hope the US government realizes this and sends them back to Saudi Arabia right away for their own safety, like they did with those other Saudi’s after the 911 attacks. We must look after the safety of our friends and protect them from all the right wing extremists violence and islamophobia this little incidence is sure to incite.

  10. OLD GUY says

    The Saudi’s power lays in their huge flow of money around the world to political, educational institutions and corporations. It goes to show that money can buy you friends in important places including the news media. They hide the funding of terror groups and point fingers directing the blame away from them with a great PR job. In a sane world we would not be training and supplying our enemy with weapons. But the US military manufacturing corporations want the profits from the sales, with no regard for the safety of the young men who may one day face these same weapons.

    The Saudi oil is just not worth it. Without those dollars they are just another barren desert country unable to feed themselves yet alone able to play on the world stage with any power.
