Muhammad Masood, a Pakistani physician, who at one time had been a Mayo Clinic research coordinator, was arrested on Thursday 19 March in Minneapolis on a terrorism charge, after he told FBI informants that he had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State and intended to carry out individual jihad attacks here in the United States.

This certainly is yet another case that flies in the face of the discredited theory that terrorists are driven to jihad by poverty and lack of opportunity…

This is also certainly not the first case of a physician actively joining a Jihadist organization. After all, Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri is a physician by trade and a former medical school professor. Additionally on 30 June 2007, Bilal Abdullah, a British-born Muslim doctor took part in the failed attack on Glasgow airport, for which he was sent to prison for no less than 32 years.

BREAKING: Almost Certainly Knife Jihad at Mall of America

1 NovpmSun, 12 Nov 2017 21:02:27 -06002017-11-12T21:02:27-06:0009 2009 – 21:02

Reports are surfacing about a stabbing attack at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota.

We are going to go ahead and speculate that this is a case of knife jihad. There are a few reasons for this:

  1. Jihadists have repeatedly threatened the Mall of America for attack in communications online and elsewhere.
  2. Officials are saying that the motive is “unclear.” We consider this a giveaway that it is a case of Jihad. Minnesota is absolutely overrun with Leftist political correctness. They may continue to deny the Jihad angle in this incident for some time. But we have reason not to trust law enforcement in that area, especially given a certain sheriff up there who is seriously soft on Jihad.
  3. There is a large Muslim population in the Bloomington area and it includes large numbers of Somalis, some of who have been caught supporting Al Shabaab. The U.S. has conducted a serious campaign against Al Shabaab in Somalia this year, with 26 known strikes against the group.

We shall see…
