Sudden Jihad Syndrome

Terrorism’s New Name: “Sudden Jihad Syndrome”

Investor’s Daily of February 20, 2007 reported that the FBI calls incidents of violent attacks by Muslim youths in the United States as “Sudden Jihad Syndrome” and does not consider them as “terrorist” acts. Sudden Jihad Syndrome is defined as a condition in which normal-appearing American Muslims abruptly turn violent. It seems the FBI is trying to hide jihadist acts of terror committed here, in America, in the guise of political correctness?

The ID has a long list of such incidents, but here is a sample for your consideration.

The Salt Lake City mall attack, in which five innocent shoppers were shot dead and four others were wounded, was launched by an 18-year old Bosnian Muslim immigrant, Sulejman Talovic, who had enough ammo to kill dozens of victims-and he would have, if an alert off-duty cop hadn’t returned fire and stopped him. According to the Salt Lake Tribune, Talovic attended Friday prayers at a mosque about a block from the mall.

A 22-year old Iranian honors student, Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar, deliberately rammed his SUV into a crowd at the University of North Carolina to “punish the government of the United States” for invading Iraq and other Muslim nations. He wrote a letter to a TV station citing Quranic verses justifying his attacks and told a detective that Muslims “all over the world are being killed, and now it is the people in the United States’ turn to be killed.”

A bearded 21-year-old student, Joel Hinrichs, who blew himself up with a backpack filled with TATP (the explosive of choice in the Mideast) outside a packed Oklahoma University football stadium not long after he started attending the local mosque.

Caroline Glick of Jerusalem Post also pointed out in her February 26^th article (Our World: Jihad’s campus collaborators) that a Muslim named Derrick Shareef was arrested in early December for plotting to carry out a similar [to Salt Lake City] attack at a shopping mall in Illinois just before Christmas, after he told FBI informants of his plans to murder Jews specifically and Americans in particular for Allah. Glick adds: “The general tendency of Westerners is to view global jihad as a foreign policy issue. But today it is clear that it is also a domestic policy issue.”

Former NYC mayor Ed Koch wrote in his February 27^th JP blog: “When the US leaves Iraq, as the Democrats promise they will force President Bush to do, will we face the prospect of emboldened Jihadists, with the cry of “God is Great” on their lips, blowing Americans up here in the States?” He added: “Iran’s President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and the leaders of al-Qaeda, bin Laden and al-Zawahiri, have publicly stated all our sins will be forgiven if we convert and urged President Bush to lead the way with his personal conversion.”

Koch reminded that: “There were many who believed they could tame Hitler…And yet, despite all the horror and carnage of the past, we don’t appear to be learning from history. We don’t seem to remember that appeasement never works. It didn’t work at Munich in 1938 with Chamberlain’s infamous statement that we had achieved “peace in our time” with Hitler. It won’t work now.”

So, to Hollywood Jewish billionaire supporters of Senator Barack Hussein Obama: Learn from history and seek clear statement of policy and faith before jumping on Senator’s bandwagon. Here is a British poll that should give you second thoughts: Thirty-seven percent of British Muslims between the ages of 16-24 would rather live under Shari’a law than under British Common Law; 36% think Muslims should be killed if they convert to another religion; 13% admire al-Qaeda and similar terror groups; and 74% believe women should wear veils.
