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

Maine: Muslim fires shots into police garage, assaults cop and FBI agent, damages police vehicle

Jul 18, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

An attack on police — perhaps another manifestation of the Leftist/Islamic alliance? We may never know, since the establishment media remains so intent upon whitewashing incidents of both Leftist and jihadist violence.

“Portland man charged with shooting into police garage,” by Matt Byrne, Portland Press-Herald, July 13, 2020 (thanks to Creeping Sharia):

Portland police on Sunday charged a man with firing several shots into the department’s parking garage July 5, damaging a police cruiser, the department said in a statement.

Police charged Abdikareem Hassan, 32, of Portland with reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon and illegal possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, both felonies.

The motivation for the attack is unclear, police said. Chief Frank Clark thanked the public for its support following the shooting.

“This type of attack on law enforcement is disheartening and personal, but the overwhelming number of positive letters, social media posts, statements denouncing violence against the department, and the calls we have received reaffirm our belief that we have the support of our community,” Clark said.

Police say the shooting occurred about 10:42 p.m. July 5, when someone in a dark sedan drove by the entrance to the police garage on Newbury Street and fired several rounds into the structure. No one was injured. Police found a handgun nearby that they believe was used in the shooting.

Hassan was stopped by officers on Franklin Street about 11:30 p.m. when they saw his vehicle hit a curb near the intersection with Cumberland Avenue, police said.

He was driving a vehicle similar to the one reported to have been used in the drive-by shooting that night, and police discovered that the car had been reported stolen that evening. Hassan was arrested after the traffic stop on charges of operating under the influence, operating a vehicle while being a habitual offender and unauthorized use of property.

While in custody at the police station, police said, Hassan became uncooperative and assaulted a police officer and an FBI agent, and damaged a police vehicle. Police are seeking charges of assault on a police officer, two counts of refusal to submit to arrest or detention, and criminal mischief, in addition to a federal charge for his alleged assault on the FBI agent….

    They are not sending their “best” from Somalia or wherever he is from.

        He is a human being who has wrong information. With the right information, he could become a good, virtuous, decent man.

        Muslims leave their cult as soon as they see the Koran is of human origin.

          mortimer,

          With the right information, he could leave islam.

          But he might not necessarily also “become a good, virtuous, decent man.”

        • gravenimage says

          Jul 18, 2020 at 8:11 pm

          Mortimer, your claim that Jihadists trying to murder police are all poised to be become good, virtuous, decent men as soon as they hear from the ‘filthy Infidels’ seems a bit questionable…

          mortimer, your reply is ‘tongue-in-cheek’, I hope?
          If only is was that easy to convert muslims. It isn’t.
          This totally unpleasant dangerous individual needs to be locked away for the safety of society, before he actually kills someone.

          David, Mortimer is quite serious. He has said many times before that it is easy to get Muslims, including the very worst Jihadists, to leave Islam. He has, sadly, never backed this up with anything.

      With a name like Abdikareem Hassan to go with a face like that …. he is a Somali muslim.
      Somalis are the most violent, disrespectful and arrogant people I ever came across. Witness their behaviour when I served with the UN in Mogadishu, Somalia.

    The motive is unclear
    REALLY
    Seriously the local authorities are unclear even in Maine

    • mortimer says

      Jul 18, 2020 at 4:09 pm

      They would need a psychic, a psychoanalyst and a mind-reader to know.

      But anyone can see that Islamism combined with Anarchy = bad news.

      The goal of anarchists is to create anarchy and instability.

    Abdikareem Hassan surely understood that discharging a weapon even if into garbage near a police station would be considered a threat to the police.

    Did Abdikareem Hassan need an apartment? Did he want free room and board? Because he’s got it now.

  4. mortimer says

    Jul 18, 2020 at 5:26 pm

    If the police know that this is a jihad attack, the public has a right to know so we may elect politicians who will stop it and keep us safe.

  5. James Lincoln says

    Jul 18, 2020 at 5:47 pm

    Abdikareem Hassan:

    Where did he come from?

    How did he get to Maine?

    Does he have a job, pay taxes, etc.?

    Is he a US citizen?

    Can he be deported following prosecution and jail time?

    ………………

    Muslims always target Infidel police, because they protect us from Jihad terror.

    15. In September 2004 The Beslan school hostage crisis (also referred to as the Beslan school siege) began when armed Islamic terrorists took hundreds of school children and adults hostage on September 1, 2004, at School Number One in the Russian town of Beslan in North Ossetia. On September 3, 2004, the third day of the standoff, shooting broke out between the hostage-takers and Russian security forces.

It is exactly the sort of “soft target” attack that I have been warning about, and ISIS quickly claimed responsibility. Within the last 30 days, there have been 169 Islamic terror attacks in a total of 24 different countries. Last year, the number of global terror attacks was up 25 percent from the year before, and this year we will almost certainly see another all-time record high. But many liberals never even want to use the phrase “Islamic terror” because it doesn’t fit their agenda.
    It’s easy to see who the enemy is!

    ”and the calls we have received reaffirm our belief that we have the support of our community”

    Obviously the spawn of close relatives…
    Over 20 years ago the elites dumped thousands of Somali Muslims into Lewiston, ME.

  12. ME Infidel says

    Jul 19, 2020 at 4:26 pm

    Hassan was “under the influence”. I thought Muslims didn’t drink alcohol. Could it have been khat, another imported, rich, cultural custom from Somalia?

  13. OLD GUY says

    Jul 20, 2020 at 6:24 pm

    He should be treated as a terrorist. Stop the migration of the people from Somalia and all muslim countries it’s nothing short of an invasion on our way of life.
