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

Uncle of Pensacola jihad murderer: “He had his religion, his prayer”

Dec 8, 2019 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

“One of al-Shamrani’s uncles told CNN on Saturday that he was shocked by the attack, as his nephew was ‘likable and mannered towards his family and the community’. ‘He had his religion, his prayer, his honesty and commitments’, the uncle stated.”

Might his religion, his prayer, have led him to wage jihad in the cause of Allah? Will investigators even ask that question, or has the situation so deteriorated in the United States that it would now be “Islamophobic” to ask it?

“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:

Who was gunman Mohammed Saeed al-Shamrani?

Al-Shamrani was a second lieutenant attending the aviation school at Navy Station Pensacola.  The Pentagon say his training with the US military began in August 2016, and was due to finish in August 2020.

AL- SHAMRANI’S DISTURBING TWITTER ACCOUNT AND HIS PRE-SHOOTING ‘MANIFESTO’

The now-deactivated Twitter account purportedly belonging to al- Shamrani included:

– A variety of anti-Israel postings and a quote from deceased al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden

– A lengthy manifesto posted at 4:39am  Friday, less than two hours the shooting. The manifesto read in part:

 ‘I’m against evil, and America as a whole has turned into a nation of evil.

‘I’m not against you for just being American, I don’t hate you because [of] your freedoms, I hate you because every day you [are] supporting, funding and committing crimes not only against Muslims, but also humanity….

One of al-Shamrani’s uncles told CNN on Saturday that he was shocked by the attack, as his nephew was ‘likable and mannered towards his family and the community’.

‘He had his religion, his prayer, his honesty and commitments’, the uncle stated.

Meanwhile, it’s been revealed that al-Shamrani used a handgun in the shooting, which he purchased from a dealer in Pensacola.

Non-citizens are prohibited from purchasing guns in the United States, unless they are equipped with a hunting license….

    He had his religion which is the vilest of all religions on earth. But it cannot be scrutinized in this absurd world.

    • Wellington says

      Indeed. Islam is vile and the absurd world in which we live chastises anyone pointing out this clearly obvious truth, functioning as a fine example of how man is often collectively an idiot.

    This martyr of the devil
    Islam is nothing but pure destruction to their followers and the rest of humankind!
    Tragically he did exactly what his book of satanic versus told to do he’s indeed a true moslem pleasing his evil Blood thirsty Allah

    He should be put into the same class as Brenton Tarrant.No difference, same ideologies!!!

    • Aussie Infidel says

      Dec 8, 2019 at 10:00 pm

      Jason, Al-Shamrani was a Muslim, while Tarrant was a Fascist; but both were totalitarians, and both were psychopaths. In other words, they both inherited dysfunctional genes and both were subjected to indoctrination with similar hateful supremacist ideologies. In their cases, it wasn’t just a question of ‘nature vs nurture’, but ‘nature exacerbated by nurture’. I have known a few ex-Muslims over the last 50 years or so, but they are few and far between. Once people are hooked by indoctrination, and become as pious as many Muslims are, there is little hope that they can be de-radicalised without a frontal lobotomy.

      No Muslims should ever be allowed into Western countries – none whatsoever. And the problems of getting rid of the ones who are here now, will be far less than the problems they will cause if they are allowed to stay. Sometimes to survive, you have to be brutal – and so far we have been very soft touches, and very stupid.

        Dec 8, 2019 at 10:13 pm

        With all respect, I don’t think this is about genes–in both cases this is about embracing violent ideologies.

        Islam is exactly the same as saying fascist or nazi – except with a big cock in your mouth.
        ANTIFA is exactly the same as saying communist – but also with a big cock in your mouth.

    Has anyone else noticed the positive correlation between fervent practice of Islam and violence? It’s very obvious.

    If left-handed people with freckles were unusually prone to violence, we would be reading articles about the “violence gene.”

    When the correlation involves a religion, it is given a green light to go ahead and carry out the violence.

    • James Lincoln says

      No Muzzies Here says,

      “If left-handed people with freckles were unusually prone to violence, we would be reading articles about the “violence gene.”

      Interesting point…

      If it were true, I would advocate extreme vetting of individuals from countries where a large percent of their population were “left-handed people with freckles.”

      • Leon Degney says

        Dec 17, 2019 at 12:43 am

        Of course you and most of the population woul. That would be quite acceptable because they wouldn’t be labeled a Muslim or a follower of Islam, therefore there wouldn’t be any protection for such people,

    • Kesselman says

      Dec 8, 2019 at 3:16 pm

      Obvious, there’s a pattern here, it’s clear and just before our eyes. Psychologists highlights “pattern recognition” in the IQ test-battery. If one lacks this very important cognitive skill the individual falls through and out.—Politicians and authorities, in general, lack this very important survival skill.—In Islam, the more pious and committed the viler a mozzie. See the pattern?!

  6. Michael Copeland says

    His prayer……..

    “Allah, strike…the Christians ..count them and kill them to the last one” – Al-Aqsa TV

  7. Philis O'Shaughnessy says

    Dec 8, 2019 at 12:36 pm

    His religion demands the killing of christians, jews, any non-muslim kill. The world turns it back to the truth and lets the islamic trojan horse in. I am glad I am christian and aware and will not perish at their hands.

  8. FYI says

    Dec 8, 2019 at 1:14 pm

    Ah!There’s the problem…islamic “prayers” like the fatiha{which disparages Jews and Christians}

    We know what happens after muslims say their “prayers”

    Who do muslims “pray” to?

    al LAH the Arab god of islam{“The BEST of deceivers” k3:54}

    al LAH the god of the islamic Doctrine of HATE{al walaa wal baraa}

    al LAH whose greatest enemy is a MAN called MALIK AL AMLAK{“king of kings”}
    SAHIH MUSLIM VOL 5 HADITH #5611…now who do you think that is?

  9. Shirley Ann says

    Dec 8, 2019 at 1:43 pm

    The Uncle, who spoke to CNN, is he in Saudi Arabia, or in Pensacola? I just wondered, because the US STATE DEPT. & MILITARY usually Give the Thumbs-Up To accepting Whole Family Units of Muslims. They’re rarely just a “LONE WOLF”, because they run as a PACK. INTERESTING, NO ARRESTS!

    You silly people! It wasn’t Islam that caused it, but carbon dioxide.

      Slow, piecemeal, religious climate change.

  11. Old Fat Bald Socially Inept Ron says

    Dec 8, 2019 at 4:56 pm

    Not to mention that “Muhammad” has for the first time ever made America’s Top 10 List of baby names for boys.

    Watch with respectful and polite complacency as “Muhammad” goes from #10 in 2019,
    to #9 for 2020,
    and so on.

    If a freedom loving society’s fiscal and economic indicators are
    booming, as its cultural, social and religious traditions are being demographically replaced at breakneck speed by an invasive and alien draconian ideology,…
    are we actually WINNING?

    Uncle of Pensacola jihad murderer: “He had his religion, his prayer”
    ……………….

    Yes–and part of that religion is slaughtering Infidels.

    ‘I’m against evil, and America as a whole has turned into a nation of evil.”

    Why did he come to and stay at the ” Nation of Evil”

    He should have gone back to the ” Nation of Islam”

  14. Giacomo Latta says

    Dec 9, 2019 at 4:48 am

    ”committing crimes not only against Muslims, but also humanity”
    A muslim who can tell the difference between the two! A rare bird indeed.

  15. MINAS says

    Dec 9, 2019 at 6:09 am

    He sounds like he was a really great guy, I wonder what caused him to go off like that? It just doesn’t make any sense at all.

    • Trick_or_Treat says

      Dec 9, 2019 at 10:14 am

      They keep scratching their heads raw over it and wondering, hey? …it might just come to tbem one day – EUREKA!

    The Democrats will never allow for the U.S. to proactively defend itself against the evil Muslims and their holy book, the Koran.
    If I could, I would ban the Koran and mosques in the U.S., stop all immigration and refugees that are Muslims from entering the U.S.
