Media Covers Up US Muslim Terror Attack Again

For the second time, a Muslim man, Omeed Aziz Popal, plowed his SUV into pedestrians with the intent of killing as many innocent people as possible. And for the second time, all initial reports have played down even the possibility of Muslim terror. Many news reports are asserting mental illness without any evidence and many news reports are specifically ruling out terrorism without any evidence.

A Google news search on the terrorist's name along with the word "Muslim" (anywhere in the article) has returned precisely one hit, from a small conservative paper.

This despite the fact that:

-The man called himself a terrorist.

-He is a Muslim.

-The driver struck pedestrians at full speed in a dozen locations.

-The final location, with 2 victims, was a Jewish Community Center.

-Intercepted Jihad documents have stated the intent to kill US pedestrians with SUVs.

-The man had recently been in Afghanistan.

-Consistent with previous jihadi attacks, the driver was reportedly calm with an angry look during the attacks, made eye contact with his victims and was unruffled afterwards.

-The man's close relatives, knowledgeable of the intimate details of his life (including his dreams), are involved with promoting books on Islam (Hamid Nekrawesh), contributing money to the anti-war Bush-hating radical Lyndon Larouche (Hamid Nekrawesh) and selling fraudulent securities as part of Pakistani earthquake "charity work" (Zarghona Ramish). Pakistani earthquake relief was also a source of funds for the UK airplane terror plotters.

Here is a must-read article discussing the long pattern of jihadi terror attacks where authorities took pains to play down any suspicions of terror with the same terms as in this case, such as road rage & mental illness. Here are two more major attacks where terror has been denied to this day.

Is it theoretically possible that this was not a jihad attack? Yes, but the presumption should be when a Muslim attacks random Westerners, that he is part of the significant percentage of Muslims who support the killing of infidels. Those are called jihadis (Islamists) by definition.

Hello,
I live in America and I totally agree with your comments. When I first heard the breaking story--I immediately wondered if this was a Muslim. Then I heard his name. That's all it took for me to be convinced.

I am sure there are many others here who feel the same--just that we aren't in the media.

I also did a search and got to a site that had a link to the news on a San Frandisco station. The news reporter said that the San Francisco police have stated that it WASN'T an act of terrorism. How about getting e-mails out to the San Francisco police?

Ok, i just don't get this. If a man, any man, goes around plowing down pedestrians, he is a terrorist, unless he is mentally unstable.

it is immaterial whether or not he is a muslim.

what is all this racist crap i keep hearing about everyone associating Islam with Terrorism!!!! i have many, MANY muslim friends, none of whom would ever even THINK of killing someone!!

there are just as many Christian, and probably Jewish, terrorists as Muslim ones, it's just that yopu don't hear about them because it's not a popular news angle!

>:-(

I got this response to my e-mail to the Jewish News Weekly of Northern Califonria

Mrs. Eitan

The "proof" you cited is all screwed up. I'm in San Francisco; I don't think the person on the blog is here. Yes, two people were run over outside the JCC. But one was an Asian. The other one was a JCC lifeguard, but the Afghan driver wouldn't have known that. The mad man drove all over Pacific Heights. A number of the people he ran over were Asian. It so happens that the JCC and two synagogues are in Pacific Heights, but he did a lot of his damage blocks away from there. The Jewish Community Relations Council, which has absolutely no hesitation in branding something as a terrorist attack, considers this a random event with no intention against Jews. The Aghan had a history of mental illness. He was just in Afghanistan -- but for an arranged wedding. He was angry because the State Department was holding up his wife'e entry into the United States. If this guy had anti-Semitic intentions it would have been a great story for my newspaper. But a thorough investigation by one of my reporters indicates that this is nothing more than a rumor -- a rumor that is growing on the Internet. If you use Iris blog, feel free to post my response.

The recent rampage by a Muslim in an SUV was, indeed, a terrorist attack. Do not let the police tell you otherwise. Keep this in the news. For proof go to IRIS.org
