Saudi who killed three and wounded eight had condemned US as “nation of evil” in hate-filled manifesto just hours before the attack. Six other Saudis were arrested, including three who filmed the attack. But initially the FBI “did not know” if it was a terror attack
By Julio Severo
The military Saudi who launched an armed
attack in a classroom at a naval air station in Florida on December 6, 2019,
killing three and injuring eight before being shot dead by officers, condemned
the United States as a “nation of evil” in an online manifesto.
“America as a whole has turned into a
nation of evil,” he said.
According to SITE, a group that monitors
jihadist media, Mohammed, who is a spelling of the name of the founder of
Islam, wrote in this manifesto that he “hates” Americans for their supposed
crimes against Muslims and “humanity.”
“I’m not against you for just being
American, I don't hate you because your freedoms, I hate you because every day
you supporting, funding and committing crimes not only against Muslims but also
humanity,” he wrote.
The manifesto also condemned U.S. support
for Israel and included a quote from Osama bin Laden, the Saudi founder and
leader of Al-Qaeda.
Six other Saudi nationals were arrested
near the base shortly after the attack. Three of the six were seen filming the
entire attack, which the media called “incident.”
In their initial answers, the FBI and
other U.S. law enforcing agencies did not know to say if the “incident” was a
terror attack.
U.S. officials are not free to accuse Saudi
Arabia, even when one of its own military officers was directly involved in the
attack, because Saudi Arabia is the most important purchaser of U.S. weapons
and sends thousands of military Saudis a year for training in America.
For 2019, Saudi Arabia sent 3,150 military
officers for training in the U.S. at a cost of more than $100 million. Yet,
the real U.S. profit comes from the Saudi purchase of U.S. weapons. Just in
2017, in his first trip to Saudi Arabia, U.S.
President Donald Trump signed an extraordinary deal worth a total of US$ 350
billion of U.S. weapon sale to Saudi Arabia.
Such massive military trade deals can
account for the hesitance of U.S. authorities to call the attack an act of
terrorism.
The
Saudi attack on a U.S. military base in Florida was not the first time Saudis
attacked in the U.S. Of the 19 Muslim men involved in the September 11 attacks,
15 were Saudi and some of them attended flight school in Florida. The
mastermind of this attack was Saudi Osama bin Laden.
Even though the victims’ families have
launched lawsuits against the Islamic dictatorship of Saudi Arabia, the U.S.
government has blocked such legal actions.
Interestingly, both the Saudi aviator and
some of the 9/11 Saudi hijackers were trained in Pensacola, and the Naval Air
Station Pensacola, which suffered the attack, is known as the “Cradle of U.S.
Navy Aviation.” The repetition of the same problem in the same place shows that
the U.S. has made itself extraordinarily vulnerable to Islamic terrorism.
Mohammed Saeed al-Shamrani hosted a dinner
party with three other Saudis to watch videos of mass shootings days before the
attack.
Saudi Air Force officers selected for
military training in the United States are intensely vetted by both countries.
Even so, they could not hinder Mohammed and his profound allegiance to Islam from
bypassing the extreme vetting to carry out his Islamic terror act.
Despite the standard features of terrorism,
U.S. officials began their response with the standard explanation that there was
no evidence that the attack was terrorist. The biggest problem with telling the
truth here is that the truth again incriminates Saudi Arabia, the world capital
of Islam and Islamic terrorism.
The biggest “problem” that closed nations,
such as communist and Islamic nations, face with Christians entering their
countries is the concealment of their motive: preaching the Gospel, to speak of
the love of Jesus. There are no cases of Christians entering a Muslim or
Communist country with the secret motive of committing a terrorist act to kill
Communists and Muslims. For example, Billy
Graham visited the Soviet Union in the late 1950s and his prayer there was that
the doors would be opened for the preaching of the Gospel.
Even if only a single case of a terrorism-motivated
Christian arose, it would be the case of an isolated madman, because every year
thousands of evangelical missionaries, mainly Americans, enter other countries
to speak of the love of Jesus with no terrorist act.
Yet, in the case of Muslims, as much as
governments carefully screen to sift out those with the slightest terrorist inclination,
there are always Muslims to attack and kill innocents. These are not isolated
cases. The “religion of peace,” as Islam is treated by presidents — including
Bush and Obama — of western nations, insists on producing terrorists and killers
worldwide. It is, by the way, the religion that kills most Christians in the
world. There are about 100,000 martyred Christians every year.
The Islam that moved the Saudi military
officer to kill at the U.S. base was not an isolated form of Islamism. Over 100
years ago, Winston Churchill said:
“The Mahommedan religion increases,
instead of lessening, the fury of intolerance. It was originally propagated by
the sword, and ever since, its votaries have been subject, above the people of
all other creeds, to this form of madness… How dreadful are the curses which
Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as
dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic
apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits,
slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity
of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.”
The biggest problem Islamic countries face
with the entry of Christians is Christians taking Bibles and the love of Jesus
to share. The biggest problem Christian nations face with the entry of Muslims
is Muslims taking bombings and Muhammad’s hatred. The clear difference between
Christianity and Islam is that while thousands of Christians spread the love of
Jesus in every country, thousands of Muslims spread Muhammad’s hatred in every
country.
What are the U.S. and other western
nations earning by receiving millions of Muslim immigrants? Terrorism. What did
the nations gain by receiving American missionaries? Gospel, evangelical
culture, culture of peace and civility.
Western countries, for their own sake,
should ban Islam, which is the main ideology that drives thousands of
terrorists worldwide.
Yet, it is too late. They are calling “religion
of peace” the very cancer that is eating away their civilizations.
