Politically Incorrect Motives

Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez (Insert)

After a self-styled mujahid named Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez attacked two military recruiting centers in Chattanooga, Tennessee, that resulted in the deaths of four Marines and a Navy petty officer, America's clueless lame-stream media went searching for a "motive."

America's gumshoe media were determined to discover why Abdulazeez went on a shooting rampage. Poverty's one of their favorite theories because many of America's urban terrorists--violent inner-city gangbangers--are often unemployed. And so, according to the timeworn leftist theory, those who resort to violence do so because they're angry at being jobless and poor.

But that narrative didn't fit Abdulazeez. He came from a well-to-do family that lives in the Colonial Shores subdivision of Hixon, an affluent suburb of Chattanooga. The Abdulazeez home may not be a mansion, but it's more than modest. In fact, it's way beyond modest.

Thus, the poverty motive doesn't fit Abdulazeez. Then what was his motive? His motive was Islam. He was motivated by his religion to kill those he deemed infidels. He was loyal to his religion and its prophet until the end when police sharpshooters finally blew him away before he could kill more infidels.

When the evidence is overwhelming that mujahids such as Abdulazeez commit violence in the name of Islam, the media resorts to damage control by labeling such folks as "lone-wolves" and "radicals" who defame the peaceful name of Islam. But anyone who understands Islam--and the majority of the western media doesn't--realizes that Islam isn't and has never been a religion of peace. And it never will be. It's a religion that's historically been spread through violence.

That's not something that western political elites such as David Cameron, Barack Obama and his buffoonish Secretary of State John Kerry like to acknowledge. More likely, they--like their clueless media brethren--simply know very little about Islam.

But Islam isn't difficult to learn. All you have to do is pick up a Koran or a copy of the Hadith and read them. And if you take the time to study Islam, you'll find that it's a religion that motivates people such as Abdulazeez to do what they do.

Here are some examples: "And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief or unrest] is worse than killing...but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah [disbelief and worshiping of others along with Allah] and worship is for Allah alone." Quran (2:191-193) 

"Then fight in the cause of Allah, and know that Allah Heareth and knoweth all things." Quran (2:244) "Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority". Quran (3:151)  "Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward." Quran (4:74) 

"The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement." Quran (5:33) 

"I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them." Quran (8:12)

And here are examples from the Hadith (Sayings of Muhammad): Allah's Apostle said, "I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshiped but Allah'.  And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally." Bukhari(8:387)  "The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: 'One who died but did not fight in the way of Allah nor did he express any desire (or determination) for Jihad died the death of a hypocrite.'" Muslim (20:4696)  

"The person who participates in (Holy Battles) in Allah’s cause and nothing compels him do so except belief in Allah and His Apostle, will be recompensed by Allah either with a reward, or booty (if he survives) or will be admitted to Paradise ( if he is killed)." Bukhari (1:35) 

Those are just some of the scriptures that motivated Abdulazeez to do what he did. Those aren't the scriptures of a peaceful religion, and anyone who claims that Islam's a peaceful religion is either lying or ignorant of that religion.

Abdulazeez wasn't a "radicalized" Muslim. He was a fundamentalist. Thankfully, the majority of the world's Muslims are cultural Muslims rather than fundamental Muslims. However, as long as Islam exists, there will be fundamentalists. And that will mean trouble. Big time.
