Getting the Facts Right on Islam and Beheading
American Thinker. com ^ | April 27, 2020 | Ron F. Hale

Recently, a terrifying triple murder in my home state evoked memories of a moment of human depravity so vile that it is difficult to think about, much less write about six years later. First, the more recent murder scene.

On April 7, 2020, three women were brutally stabbed to death by Idris Abdus-Salaam at a Pilot Travel Center in Strawberry Plains, Tennessee, outside Knoxville. A fourth woman survived the attack.

Arriving on the scene, deputies from the Knox County Sheriffs Office spotted Abdus-Salaam in the parking holding a knife. Refusing to drop his weapon, the attacker was shot and killed by a deputy. The three murder victims were Pilot employees and the survivor a customer.

Abdus-Salaam was a 33-year-old truck-driver from Durham, North Carolina. The attacker's mother, Walidah Abdus-Salaam, contended that behavior like this was completely out of character for her son. Speaking to the Knox News, she said, "He's not a violent person. The picture they painted is ugly. That is not my son."

His mother also indicated that her son was a practicing Muslim and there had been no signs of him becoming radicalized. Across the state, police in the Memphis area are trying to discover if Abdus-Salaam is tied to the brutal stabbing of a nurse.

Yup, Islam through their belief by Muslims (believers) will kill to prove it’s the religion of peace! Almost forgot, Inshallha.

It’s a shame he was killed. Now we will never know this non-violent, non-radicalized, peaceful person’s motive. I’m clueless . . . just like the police and all democrats.

Very similar to those infamous "pit bull" stories where "there were no signs of him becoming vicious" ... that is until the dog ripped apart a kid. In this respect, pit bulls and vicious "practicing muslims" appear to share a common trait.

He was not "radicalized".

He was simply doing his duty as a good Muslim as the Holy Quran Commands.

That just happens to include killing infidels.

Nothing personal.

The "radical" Muslims are those who ignore their duty and don't wage Jihad.

If since the time of childhood your conscience is molded to accept the most severe violence as being consistent with godliness, it is not surprising that things like these murders and beheadings happen regularly. This murderer subconsciously believes that the brutal killing of non believers is warranted and justified. He was a long distance trucker. Combine fatigue, frustration and perhaps the use of amphetamines and this guy is primed for vile action.

Western leaders have long forgotten the bloody lessons learned at Tours, Grenada, Lepanto, Constantinople, Malta and Vienna. In the name of delusional globalism. they have allowed their formerly Christian centered cultures to be debased with an alien, non assimilable component. These atrocities will not cease.

We call this an Oxymoron:

a combination of contradictory or incongruous words (such as cruel kindness)

The difference is that Pit bulls are made vicious by their owners. My son and his ex had a Pit bull who was very gentle and wouldn't hurt a flea as the saying goes.

Now with Muslims, I wouldn't trust them

That is a big difference, Kas.
Pit Bulls & Muslims ... not a bad name for a heavy metal band (though they likely wouldn't get any gigs in Riyadh.)
Cheers!

Back in the late 70s, my Vietnamese wife met a Vietnamese woman and they became friends. She was married to a muslim and they had 7 or children. One of the children was a young man in his early 20s. This young man had been dating a Catholic girl. When the father (a former diplomat from Yemen) found out, he made his on stop seeing the girl and immediately began arranging a marriage to a muslim girl.
Things seemed to be going fine for the young man until the girl’s family found out about his Catholic ex-girlfriend, where upon they wanted to cease everything. The boy’s father told him to go to the girl’s family and ask for forgiveness and accept whatever punishment they wanted to inflict on him. The girl’s father went back into the house, got a gun, came out and shot the boy in the head. They they then hid the gun and called the police stating, “there’s a dead man at my front door.”
The copy came took the body away and their investigation went nowhere. Both families were satisfied with the outcome. It was for the honor of both families.
My wife and I decided to never see these people again, and that was the end of ever seeing them.
Muslims are too dangerous, even the ones who seem OK.

Yeah, better be careful...

It appears that the official position of this website is that criticism of the pit bull breed is not allowed, nor tolerated...

They’ll prove it to you five times a day.

Stephen Coughlin (Red Pill Briefing) has wisely pointed out that we don’t need to get into debates about which is the real Islam but only need to deal with materials widely distributed by Muslims to Muslims to teach them how to be good Muslims ... and these notoriously fall on the side of the jihadis and not supposed “peaceful” Muslims out there.

These texts — which are once again widely distributed here in the United State in English (which is one of Islam’s official languages per the OIC) — more often than not come with the highest *bling* of Islamic authority and scholarship backing them (in the Sunni world these are one and the same, heads of state aside ... those bless these too collectively through the OIC though).

That last is critical for where anyone or any unbeliever can write a long book (or screed) about (against) Christianity and fear no earthly consequences the Islamic world isn’t so understanding or free when it come to the question of who can respectfully do this. They vet their scholars with all the seriousness they can manage.

A practicing muslim who murdered human beings, and its mother says it’s not a violent person? Business as usual.
