Yet again,
Islamism produces depraved young men in the West who randomly kill innocents.
Islamism
is an ideology of slaughter,
and it will never stop producing young men like the Boston bombers,
the Toulouse butcher
and the London bombers.
New ones are being made every day.
Islamist terror attacks on the West
will never end, until Islamism ends.
Yet again, the western left doesn't want to know.
The western left doesn't know or care what motivates the jihadists.
The anti-counterjihadist
Aziz Poonawalla
attacks Robert Spencer on
15 Apr 2013
for calling Boston a probable jihad attack. "despicable ... filth"
Of course, Spencer turned out to be right.
It was a jihad attack.
Aziz Poonawalla
responded to my inclusion of him here by
blocking me.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's statement, June 2015, shows Spencer was of course right and
Poonawalla was of course wrong.
"I would like to begin in the name of Allah, the exalted and glorious, the most gracious, the most merciful
...
The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him
...
after the bombing, which I am guilty of - if there's any lingering doubt about that, let there be no more. I did do it along with my brother ...
I am a Muslim. My religion is Islam. The God I worship, besides whom there is no other God, is Allah.
...
I ask Allah to have mercy upon me and my brother and my family.
...
And I ask Allah to have mercy upon the ummah of Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him. Amin. Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds."
What a surprise that the jihadi maniac bomber is not the handsome secular hipster his female fans thought he was!
After the
Toulouse massacre
in 2012,
the western left blamed the "right", until it was discovered it was jihad.
After the
Boston bombings
in 2013,
the western left blamed the "right", until it was discovered it was jihad.
And the pattern will repeat.
Both
Tamerlan
and his mother were on Russian and American watch lists of Islamic terror suspects.
Russia warned the US
about Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Islamic terror.
The brothers attended the
Islamic Society of Boston
mosque,
which has long been linked to
Islamic extremism.
The first president of the mosque,
Abdul Rahman al-Amoudi,
was convicted on Islamic terror charges in 2004
and got a 23 year sentence.
Counter-jihadist
Michelle Malkin
has been warning about the Boston mosque for years, but no one listened.
Counter-jihadists
Robert Spencer
and
David Horowitz
have been warning about the MSA for years, but no one listened.
The bombers had killed Americans before, in 2011, but were not caught:
Incredibly, it was later
confirmed
that
Tamerlan Tsarnaev
had
killed Americans in an Islamic terror attack before,
in 2011, but was not caught.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev and another jihadist, Ibragim Todashev,
killed three Jews
in Massachusetts
in an Islamic terror attack
on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 in Sept 2011.
No one in 2011 connected the facts that one of the dead Jews was a friend of a Muslim
who had recently changed to radical Islam.
Better police work could have caught these Islamic terrorists before the Boston bombing.
After it emerged that it was Islamic terrorism, the left became uninterested in the motivation
of the bombers:
The Boston Bombers Were Muslim: So? by Megan Garber, 19 Apr 2013.
She says we should not apply labels like "Muslim jihadist" to Muslim jihadists.
They are so much more than that.
They had girlfriends and liked music and skateboarding and Twitter.
Blowing the legs off children for jihad should not define them.
Days pass. Lots more material emerges on the bombers' jihad motivation.
But the left doesn't care:
God help us in a world infused with anger, Lionel Shriver, 22 Apr 2013.
Lionel Shriver writes an entire article on the bombers without ever mentioning their motivation.
She tries to link them to "angry people" on Internet blogs and twitter.
That oddbod
Geraldo Rivera
seems to ignore all the evidence, and
tweets on
22 Apr 2013:
"Shame on those who evade the constitution in frantic attempts to blame Boston's homegrown terror on something faraway & alien.
This enemy is us."
Huh?
Boston Marathon bombing suspects elude labels, Krissah Thompson and Michelle Boorstein, 23 Apr 2013.
"Chechen? American? Immigrant? Citizen? Muslim?
Boston Marathon bombing suspects Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev may be all of the above, but how we attempt to come to grips with the attacks allegedly perpetrated by the brothers has much to do with how we identify them."NewsBusters replies:
"The label to be avoided is apparently "Islamic terrorist.""
The
Sydney Morning Herald
was so confident that the Tea Party did the Boston bombings that they ran this image on 19 Apr 2013.
Illustration by
Simon Letch.
The Tea Party, of course, have never bombed anyone.
The sad decline of
Charles Johnson:
Long after news emerged that the
Boston bombers were jihadis,
far leftist
Charles Johnson
says, 19 Apr 2013, after the capture of the younger bomber:
"we now have a chance to find out exactly what motivated this atrocity".
On
20 Apr 2013
he is still baffled as to why these young men bombed innocents in Boston:
"the latest information suggests that Islamism may not have been their primary motivation."
How the old Charles Johnson would have laughed at this fool!
Lunatic leftist
Glenn Greenwald, 21 Apr 2013, also has no clue as to the Boston jihadists' motive.
He has no interest in their
support for jihad on social media.
He is holding out for something that fits his world view.
Boston Muslims angry at focus on Tsarnaev brothers' religion, Irish Times, 22 Apr 2013.
"Mays is angry that the media has highlighted Tamerlan's devotion to Islam, suggesting this as a possible motive behind the actions of the suspected bomber who died following a shoot-out with police in the Watertown area near the city.
"In other crimes it is not mentioned that the person went to church the Sunday before, so why should they mention that someone is a devout Muslim?" she said."
Um, maybe because Islam was 100 percent of the motive in this
- and thousands of other - jihad attacks?
The Catholic
Bishop of Worcester, Massachusetts
thinks it was caused by video games!
"The bishop urged residents to treat neighbors and strangers from different traditions with "respect and try to understand the differences."
...
The bishop decried the prevalence of violent imagery in American culture.
The bishop noted that bullying has been recognized as a nationwide problem and that violent video games and movies captivate youths and adults with no letup in popularity."
The title says it all.
The words "Islamism" and "jihad" never appear in this article.
The only mention of the cause of the bombings - the bombers' religion - is, perversely,
in the following section,
which blames Americans for being hostile to that religion:
""It's very difficult to develop a sense of belonging, especially if you're part of a community that is not positively recognized," says Leisy Abrego, an assistant professor of Chicano studies at UCLA.
That often includes Muslim and Arab immigrants, says Saeed Khan, a lecturer at Wayne State University in Michigan, whose expertise includes ethnic identity and Muslim culture.
"They come into a culture that has really been defined by 9/11," Khan says, as the Tsarnaev brothers, both Muslim, would have done."
So Islam did not make them kill the infidel children.
Rather, American hostility to Islam made them kill, kill, kill for Islam.
Got it.
Perhaps the strangest intervention of all:
Joe Biden uses the word "jihadis"
at the funeral of the slain police officer!
The Irish Times uses the word "jihadis"
in a headline!
What on earth is going on?
Are both Biden and the Irish Times getting sense?
Or is it just a fluke?
Biden goes off-message and for once, unlike Obama, attacks the bombers for what they are - jihadis.
"whether it's al-Qaeda central out of the
FATA
or two twisted, perverted, cowardly, knock-off jihadis here in Boston.
...
You are their worst nightmare.
All the things these perverted jihadis, self-made or organized, all the things they fear."
Hunt for the elusive Tea Party murderer continues, John Hayward, April 20th, 2013.
"The embarrassing failure of their "climate of hate" Tucson hysteria didn't stop the Left from doing exactly the same thing last week, and last week's narrative implosion won't stop them from trying it again next time. Sooner or later, one of these maniacs will turn out to be someone who doesn't like ObamaCare!
There's no practical reason for liberals to stop running this game; they pay no real price for getting it wrong.
Dzhokar Tsarnaev celebrated Barack Obama's re-election online, but he could easily restart the entire liberal Climate of Hate greenhouse-gas system by casually remarking to his interrogators that he's thought it over, and now really wishes Mitt Romney had won. Do not for one moment doubt how quickly that would unleash a tidal wave of triumphant "aha, we knew it!" blog posts from the same people who got the "Tax Day bombing" smear wrong."
In contrast to leftist idiots like
Charles Johnson and Glenn Greenwald,
the counter-jihad gets the story.
14 Mar 2013: Counter-jihadist
Michelle Malkin
warns (as she has done for years) about the
Islamic Society of Boston
and its associates.
15 Apr 2013:
Members of the
Islamic Society of Boston
bomb Boston.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had three idiot friends,
Dias Kadyrbayev, Azamat Tazhayakov and Robel Phillipos,
who tried to cover up for him and destroy the evidence.
Kadyrbayev and Tazhayakov were Muslim foreigners who were given student visas to the US.
Disgusting.
They need to be made an example of.
All three were convicted.
Dias Kadyrbayev got 6 years in prison. Good. Stupid tosser.
After serving his sentence he was deported.
Azamat Tazhayakov got 3 and a half years.
After serving his sentence he was deported.
Robel Phillipos got 3 years.
He got out of prison in 2018.
Stupid tossers. A disgrace to their families and their countries.
The Boston bombing should
cause a debate on immigration.
Victor Davis Hanson, 23 Apr 2013,
points out that the Boston bombing exposes many issues with the system of immigration:
The jihadi family was given supposed "asylum" from Russia
- and yet chose to visit Russia for long periods and even live there!
So the "asylum" was entirely fraudulent.
Resident aliens
got criminal convictions (domestic violence, shoplifting) and yet were not deported.
Resident aliens
were living on welfare for years and yet were not deported.
Resident aliens were investigated by the FBI for terror links and yet were not deported.
"In short, if a Tamerlan Tsarnaev cannot be deported, then perhaps no resident alien can be under any circumstances."
American immigrants may be going the way of European immigrants
- hating their host country, and identifying with some imaginary ancestral culture.
But don't expect Obama, the left or the media to pursue these questions.
Mark Steyn, 23 Apr 2013:
"The Tsarnaev family were admitted to the United States as refugees supposedly because they were in fear of their lives in the Russian Federation. It's so deadly that Tamerlan vacations there for six months."
Iowahawk sums it up:
"So the Tsarnaevs came on a refugee visa, collected $100k, went back home for vacation, then blew up 260 Americans."
A Battered Dream, Then a Violent Path, New York Times, April 27, 2013,
is an absurd left-wing story that
entirely fails to understand the immigrant bomber.
The entire focus of this story is on how Tamerlan Tsarnaev's boxing dreams were frustrated
because he was not granted citizenship.
So ... he bombed American families and blew the legs off children.
Anyone would have done the same.
The New York Times is more or less saying:
"We were mean to the immigrant, and that's why he killed".
Because that's the kind of comforting narrative that makes sense to the New York Times.
The fact is, of course, everyone has setbacks in life.
But most people who have setbacks do not blow the legs off innocent children.
For that you need something entirely different,
such as the evil ideology of Islamism.
Barry Rubin, 29 Apr 2013, replies to the absurd New York Times piece,
and says they deliberately avoid understanding the bomber,
because to do so would mean to look at immigration.
"Where to begin? ... Tamerlan Tsarnaev first entered the United States at age 16. Isn't he more a product of Russian than of U.S. conditions? ... he and his brother were largely shaped by that environment and by the struggle there.
But the authors cannot focus on this issue. Why not? Well, obviously they want to blame America first, but also there is a big land mine there. Pointing out that immigrants - legal or otherwise - may bring with them hatred, grievances, and cultural formations inimical to America makes a point in the immigration debate which would be the exact opposite of what they want aired."
"To have a serious discussion about why some immigrants become loyal, productive citizens and others become terrorists would be an important discussion. But it cannot happen at present because it would have to include factoring in such things as personal responsibility, gratitude to one's adopted country, and even - totally unthinkable
- the need to keep in mind the immigrant's original home.
...
to step into that territory would require considering: the failure of a historic policy to assimilate immigrants that has been replaced by multiculturalism; the abandonment of patriotism and the distaste for America and its society daily expressed by the citizens of Boston met by the Tsarnaevs; and the idea of entitlement and the welfare state that pervaded their concept of America."
Brilliantly, Rubin suggests the following lead paragraph for the story. You will never read a lead paragraph like this
in the New York Times (or the Irish Times):
"Tamerlan Tsarnaev found in America a society that did not require him to become loyal to the country, to understand how well it treated his family, and how he could actually spend his time reading terrorist sites on the Internet while his beaten wife worked 80 hours a week and his family collected welfare. Spoiled by good treatment from America, he became more Islamic and turned to terrorism."

Tsarnaev brothers' hatred.
From video.
"There are no values anymore",
said
Tamerlan Tsarnaev,
as he
killed an 8 year old boy
and blew the leg off a 6 year old girl.
This Chechen Muslim
immigrant
had trouble adapting to the West.
He dated a Western girl,
but also complained about Western culture.
So he bombed innocents at the Boston Marathon in Apr 2013,
killing three and horribly wounding many more.
He lived off the taxpayer,
as did his parents and
brother.
He was not "oppressed" or discriminated against.
He killed because of the demons in his head, not any other root cause.
He killed because of Islamism, not any other root cause.

Al Qaeda's
Inspire
magazine
(issue 11)
celebrates the Boston bombings.
It describes them as
"The Blessed Boston Bombings
...
These heroic bombings".
Al Qaeda are delighted about the dead kuffar:
"The Tsarnaevs made an excellent
choice of placing IEDs. The first one
was near the finish line where large
crowds cheer from, reporters and
media cameras gather to capture the
final steps.
The second one exploded 50 -100
yards away and 13 seconds later
from the first one. It was also in the
opposite direction of the racers, the
direction the crowd is expected to
run in reaction to the first explosion.
It was definitely a smart plan to
increase casualties among the kuffar,
by putting them under a temporary
siege by two sequential blasts."
See
The Islamist way of war.
The movie
Patriots Day (2016).
Excellent Boston bombing movie.
No sugarcoating of the jihadist scum.
"One minute he's this funny, normal guy who liked boxing and having fun, the next he is praying four times a day, watching Islamic videos and talking insane nonsense."
A girlfriend of Tamerlan Tsarnaev
beautifully
sums up how the "insane nonsense" of Islamism took over his brain.
"They think that they are killing us and they celebrate this,
but we are the ones who will rejoice when Allah grants us the chance to behold them in the flames of an eternal and terrifying fire, an otherworldly flame."
