Jihad Watch

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

Pensacola jihad murderer tweeted that US was committing “crimes against Muslims,” including support of Israel

Dec 6, 2019 11:23 pm By Robert Spencer

Many credulous Americans will believe him, and think that if we just stop committing these supposed “crimes,” that the jihad will disappear. Actually these grievance lists are common from jihadis, who have to couch their jihads as defensive in the absence of a caliphate. In Sunni law, only the caliph can declare offensive jihad. So when there is no caliph, all jihad must be defensive.

“Saudi aviation student opens fire at Florida Naval base, killing 3,” by Audrey McNamara, CBS News, December 6, 2019:

Four people are dead, including the gunman, after a shooting Friday morning at Naval Air Station Pensacola, authorities said. Several other people were injured, including two sheriff’s deputies who engaged the shooter.

The suspect was a member of the Saudi Air Force and an aviation student at the base, officials confirmed at a press conference Friday. CBS News has learned the suspect’s name is Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, although the FBI said they would not confirm a name during a Friday night press conference.

The Pentagon told CBS News that the shooter had been in the country since August 2017 pursuant to a U.S. Air Force Foreign Military Sales training case funded by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and that he was scheduled to stay until August 2020. He was enrolled in English, basic aviation, and initial pilot training at the station, the Pentagon added.

Investigators are trying to determine how a foreign national obtained a handgun, which is prohibited by law, and carried it onto the base. FBI special agent in charge Rachel Rojas said officials have not yet determined a motive for the shooting….

According to the Middle East Media Research Institute, someone matching the shooter’s identity had an online footprint, including a Twitter post that criticized America’s support for Israel.

“O American people – I’m not against you for being American, I don’t hate you because your freedoms, I hate you because every day you supporting, funding and committing crimes not only against Muslims but against humanity,” the post read.

“What I see from America is the supporting of Israel which is invasion of Muslim countrie (sic), I see invasion of many countries by it’s troops, I see Guantanamo Bay. I see cruise missiles, cluster bombs and UAV.”

Base commander Captain Tim Kinsella explained that the base has a longstanding program to train military students from ally nations. Military from around the world go to the base for flight training.

“There’s always been international students training here,” Kinsella told reporters. “He was in the aviation pipeline … training in aviation.”…

    I’m puzzled as to why military bases are such easy targets. Seems ironic. Worse yet is the apparently weak screening of foreigners receiving highly classified training.

    Yes captain Tim there has always been international students training there but when they happen to be in a religion that has been at war with us for the last 1,400 fcuking years they’re not just international students they are insane brainwashed mohammadans who believe that their God will reward them should they get killed while killing us and by us I mean everyone on this earth that doesn’t believe in flying donkeys and the rantings of a sick pedophile arab who made this murderous religion up but you should already know this because they themselves have been telling us how they want to kill us all and make our lands part of their Muslim empire or caliphate, I guess the hundreds of soldiers killed by the Afghan soldiers we armed and were made to patrol with didn’t even make you blink because there are more where they came from NEXT , Attention now fall in , so you want us to get on this helicopter with this Afghan soldier armed with a AK47 and 12 hand grenades hanging from his waistband ok yes sir, p.s you fcuking idiots

      Captain Tim Kinsella
      Interesting bio:
      https://www.cnic.navy.mil/regions/cnrse/installations/nas_pensacola/about/biographies/co.html
      Doubt he’d badmouth the Saudis–in public

        Hopefully trump will remove him from command and send him to some base in Greenland or some far flung frozen isolated out post. According to his bio he was appoint to his present post at Pensacola in 2019 . I wish Trump would wake up to the Saudis are not our friends we should not be selling them arms or training their future Jihadist here or over seas at our military bases. These Saudis are too unpredictable to train or be trusted around unarmed service men in relaxed class room conditions .We learn nothing from Ft Hood or dozens of other incidents in America when seemly passive Moslems get the Jihad bug up their ass .

          What has he done to deserve that?

          The vetting process occurs long before they arrive at PCOLA.

          While (rightly) blaming a system over which he has no control you want him removed from command by those who do?

      That is because America wants to make a lot of money by selling guns to Saudi Arabia and these students are not cheap .Saudi govt pays US millions of dollars to train in US . It is simply commerce without principles as far as US is concerned .Tomorrow if Taliban or ISIS has enough money to buy us weapons and train them in US bases US will gladly oblige them as long as money is coming . That is the long and short of it ! It is almighty Dollar!

        Most Americans–even in the military–don’t even know that Muslims are a threat.

    Why doesn’t he then move to Qatar, or join the Houthis in Yemen? They are more genuinely anti-Israel than Saudi Arabia, which has probably made an al-Hudaybiyya type pact w/ Israel so that they can defend against Iran

    How did he get a gun? Go to any “bad” area of any town here in Florida and you can get drugs, “ladies” , ” Sissies”, and all the stolen guns you can buy.

    Sure, let’s bring all these foreign soldiers from a host of countries/people that hate the USA and train them with the most up to date equipment and tactics so that when they turn on us they have a level playing field. It’s only fair for the jihadi’s and if a few innocent people get killed before they leave U.S. soil, well praise ali and mo (pbuh????) America’s elite need to fix the biggest problem we have that’s stupiditis, it’s a long road, but it starts with ending the PC thought process that is killing well minded people far and wide.

    … I hate you because every day you supporting, funding and committing crimes not only against Muslims but against humanity,”

    …says the man who lives for a bigoted creed that has mass murdered and terrorized for 1400 years.

    No, the real crime here is the billion$ in aid we give to muslim countries and to our own muslims on welfare, our kids and women getting raped by muslim men, our neighborhoods lost to bigoted enclaves, and the freedoms and security we lose because muslims live for a violent creed.

    Muslims have no moral vantage over Americans when it comes to “crimes against humanity.” We are the most giving and free nation on earth, that’s why they come here. But instead of embracing the blessings of America they choose to undermine our freedoms for islam by terrorizing our people and subverting our culture. We’ve given Billions to the Palestinians even though they revile us. If we’re so damn evil then why do we keep blessing the people who hate us? Trump is smart for wanting to reduce or eliminate aid to muslim nations, Americans shouldn’t have to pay jizya for hatred and terror. We aren’t perfect, but our Constitution is a million times better than the bigoted ignorance muslims got going for allah. If we’ve done anything criminal regarding islam it’s that we haven’t done enough to stop it. I got a message for you Muslims, go home if you don’t like it here and let us live in peace. And take your dirty demon with you.

    They know his motive. And getting a gun from one of his fellow moslims in Florida, the ones who were born here, or the ones who have gained citizenship, or ones who have friends, relatives or barracks attenders who fit one of these categories, would be easy. As easy as he found it to commit mass murder.

    Florida is infested with his kind. Some of them, suspected terrorists, convicted terrorists, no-fly-list members, hamas members, hamas supporters and funders, had a huge meeting in South Florida yesterday. They probably drank a celebration toast to this murderer who was one of them.

    Those people who supposedly can’t figure his motive, who supposedly can’t see how easy it would be for him to get a gun…and as for entering the base with the gun, perhaps a fellow moslim allowed him to pass with it…evidently don’t mind sounding stupid. Pretending ignorance does no one any good.

    And even though it is ‘prohibited by law’ for a foreign national to own one. How many former prison inmates obtain guns after being released…although prohibited by law? Laws mean nothing to criminals and moslims.

    “Crimes against muslims’ ‘eh? What a fucking absolute gall and hide these retarded dregs have got! Yep, us nasty infidel kaffir have been at it for the last 1400 years. Oh God almighty, please deal with all these intractable scum soon. The whole of the sane and civilised world has had an absolute gutful of the muslims, there deranged pedophile pseudo prophet, their stinking qur’an and sharia, and their blood-thirsty, make believe, arsewipe of a god!

    With due respect to peaceful Muslims, there are those among us who can explode without warning. So, there’s always a risk even in the most unexpected environment and politicians accept it on our behalf.
