Debbie Schlussel: Islamic Terrorism By Auto: 3rd Incident in a Year; "Living While Infidel"
* AS READ ON AIR BY RUSH LIMBAUGH. THANKS, RUSH! *
**** SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATES ****
When I first read about a San Francisco motorist who deliberately drove into lots of people and murdered at least one, critically injuring many others and ending in front of the Jewish Community Center (JCC), I wondered what the man's name was. Was it a Muslim name?
Yes, it was: Omeed Aziz Popal, an Afghani Muslim. The BS reason given by his relatives for his attempt at mass murder of non-Muslims: He was upset over the start of his stressful arranged Islamic marriage. "Religion of Peace" displaying yet more "Peace." Hate of American Infidel victims had nothing to do with it, right? That's why he drove far from his home in Fremont to the San Francisco JCC.
And, uh, wouldn't the stress be on the Afghani bride shipped here to become his instant sex- and house-slave?
It's not surprising that he turned out to be a Muslim, because Popal's method isn't new, in terms of Islamic terrorism in America.
In fact, it's the third such incident of Islamic Terror by Auto in the last year. You've heard of "Driving While Black," and the alleged "Flying While Arab"? Welcome to Living/Walking While Infidel (or trying to live, anyway).
In March, Mohammed Reza Taheri-Azar, an Iranian Muslim--inspired by Allah and hatred for America--purposely drove his Jeep into students at the University of North Carolina.
And in December, Ali R. Warrayat, a Palestinian Jordanian Muslim, drove his car into a Home Depot in Arizona, for the purpose of mass destruction of the store and those in it. He wanted to set the place ablaze. He, too, inspired by his anger toward America and his Koran in his trunk.
And then, there are the other incidents of Dr. Wameeth Fadhli, a Muslim medical doctor in Texas, who did a drive-by, "random" shooting of a bicyclist (tip from Sue Bob's Diary). A Muslim in Baltimore, Mujtaba Rabbani Jabbar, shooting and murdering a Jewish guy at a movie theater. A Pakistani Muslim, Naveed Haq, in Seattle shooting women at the Jewish Federation, murdering one.
But these are all lone, random guys. And all of them just happen to be "mentally unstable" Muslims who deliberately target non-Muslims. Right, Neil Cavuto? The latest one ended, by "coincidence," at the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco, where he mowed over two people--7 are now critically injured, one dead. But it and the Seattle incident and the Baltimore incident (and the bombing of the Hebrew University of Baltimore before that) have nothing to do with Islamic anti-Semitism.
Right, Neil Cavuto? Just asking.
**** UPDATE: KTVU-San Francisco video reports that Omeed Aziz Popal declared himself "a terrorist." But police say he isn't. Whatever. Thanks to reader Jeff for the tip.
**** UPDATE #2: Reader Kenneth H. writes:
I know my way around SF very well. The SF Bay Area news channels and politicians are being intentionally vague about where/why the Driver attacked. A few stations reported that he struck in "Laurel Heights". What they are *not* reporting was why he chose that location. He drove along the front sidewalk of a new, prominent JCC. One station rolled video of the crime scene. The camera showed bicycle wreckage with a brick wall in the background. The wall was cut off at the top of the frame - slightly higher than the mangled handle bars. Actually, the wall rises two stories. It's the front of the JCC! A few stations reported that he also struck at "California & Fillmore", a yuppie area. Unfortunately, none are reporting the precise spot where he jumped the curb. Two doors before that intersection, on the same side of Street the criminal was driving on, is the front of a rather large, ornate Refom Synagogue (Cong Sheerith Israel). The Mayor of SF is saying that the path of destruction was "random. The reporters are telling me that the Driver was mentally unstable (they used the same spin to excuse the Muslim fellow who shot up the Seattle JCC a fews ago). I am so sick of obfuscation. Back in the old country the criminals are not called deranged. They are called martyrs.
AMEN to that last statement.
**** UPDATE #3: Reader Kenneth H. writes again to correct some of the above:
in a previous e-mail i wrote that Cong Sheerith Israel was only 2 doors away from the intersection of California & Fillmore. actually, the Synagogue is a BLOCK from the intersection. according to yahoo! maps, the block distance is 0.10 miles. i *believe* that the Synagogue is currently closed due to seismic concerns. next door to the sanctuary (on California St.) is the Cong's social-hall/classroom building. i do not know if that building was "Open for Biz" yesterday.
