FBI under increased scrutiny for failing to prevent Garland jihad shooting
MAY 5, 2015 9:27 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER26 COMMENTS
They had Elton Simpson on their radar for years. But it is FBI policy in the Obama Administration not to acknowledge, much less study, the beliefs that motivate such attacks. The FBI training materials, by order of John Brennan and Barack Obama, do not mention Islam and jihad in connection with terrorism. So how can […]

“At a news conference, investigators were uncertain of the identities and motives of the gunmen.” Yes, their motives are a total mystery! “Gunmen at Muhammad cartoon event had more ammunition in car, police say,” by Richard A.

UPDATE: Apparently Abu Hussain al-Britani is not the gunman, unless someone else has access to his Twitter account, as he is back on Twitter today. —– These tweets (click to enlarge) come from one of the shooters at the AFDI/Jihad Watch Muhammad Art Exposition and Cartoon Contest yesterday — Elton Simpson, aka Shariah is Light, […]
Here we go: McClatchy suggests limits on free speech after Texas jihad shooting
MAY 4, 2015 10:12 PM BY ROBERT SPENCER141 COMMENTS
You knew this was coming. It was inevitable. We have seen it before. When the Obama Administration blamed the Benghazi jihad attack on a video about Muhammad, there were calls in the mainstream media for restrictions on the freedom of speech.

We can be thankful that Wilders had to leave early to catch a flight, and thus missed the arrival of the mujadhedin.
U.S. probes possible international terrorism link with Texas jihad shootings

It isn’t as if it is hard to find such a link, but U.S. authorities under Obama are so determinedly clueless that it takes them a great deal of effort to arrive at the obvious. At very least, the shooter appears to have pledged allegiance to the Islamic State (Amirul Mu’mineen is Leader of the […]

The stakes couldn’t possibly be higher, but no one in the mainstream media seems to understand that or to be willing to recognize it publicly. The question is this: will the free West allow thugs and murderers to dictate our behavior and force non-Muslims to conform to an Islamic religious law? Or will it stand […]
Texas jihad gunman ID’d, was previously subject of terror investigation
MAY 4, 2015 9:31 AM BY ROBERT SPENCER67 COMMENTS
“Simpson was well known to the FBI. Five years ago he was convicted for lying to federal agents about his plans to travel to Africa, but a judge ruled the government did not adequately prove he was going to join a terror group there.” He did it here instead. And today the mainstream media is […]
