More details are coming in about Shamsud Din Jabbar, the deceased perpetrator of the heinous New Year’s Day vehicular jihad in New Orleans that left 15 Americans dead and dozens more injured. In a Thursday morning press conference, FBI Deputy Assistant Director Christopher Raia of the Counterterrorism Division revealed that Jabbar had pledged himself to the Islamic State terror group before the summer and posted Facebook videos about wanting his planned attack to send the right message: that it is about a “war between the believers and disbelievers.” This is in addition to previous revelations from friends and relatives confirming that the Muslim Jabbar had become concerningly “devout” in recent months. Oh yeah – and his murder weapon of choice flew the black flag of ISIS.
I don’t have a degree in criminology or a special Taylor Swift bracelet from the New Orleans FBI, but to me, all that sounds suspiciously like Jabbar’s motive could – hear me out, now – be classified as Islamic terrorism. But if you think the Left will acknowledge the threat of Islamic “radicalism” to this country, then you have been living under a rock since the Jimmy Carter era.
Check out the reports on Jabbar from the Left-dominated media. Most headlines refer to him as “New Orleans Attacker” or “Army vet” or maybe “Texas man.” You will not find one that states right there in the headline that he was an “ISIS Devotee” or even “Devout Muslim,” much less anything labeling him an “Islamic terrorist,” even an alleged one.
Again, I’m no criminal psychologist, but I feel safe saying that Shamsud Din Jabbar did not attach an ISIS flag to his truck and mow down as many New Years revelers as possible – men, women, and children – and then open fire on cops because he was a “devout” Army veteran or Texas man.
Even after this latest act of jihadist terrorism, the Left will not condemn their partners in what David Horowitz calls the “Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left.” Instead, the Left is still fixated on the same concern they fabricated and exaggerated throughout the administration of Biden and his fellow ideologues: “white supremacy” – i.e., “far-right extremism.” Attorney General Merrick Garland declared in May, 2021 before the Senate Appropriations Committee, “In the FBI’s view, the top domestic violent extremist threat comes from ‘racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists, specifically those who advocated for the superiority of the white race.” This is the same man who ordered FBI investigations into parents who were outraged at local school boards for enabling the gender theory indoctrination of their children.
As recently as his own commencement address to Howard University in 2023, Joe Biden asserted that white supremacy “is the single most dangerous terrorist threat in our homeland. And I’m not just saying this because I’m at a black HBCU. I say this wherever I go.” Leftists would sooner submit to torture than admit that the problem is not white supremacists, but Islamic supremacists.
NBC News justice and intelligence correspondent Ken Dilanian, for example, said Wednesday on NBC Nightly News that
The FBI director and others have been saying for some time that the threat from ISIS inspired terrorist attacks is greater than it has been for a long time particularly post October 7, in light of the controversy over the war in Gaza and people inflamed across the Middle East about that. You also have a situation where political violence in the United States is increasingly a risk and more and more people are turning to extremist ideologies, whether it’s ISIS or people who don’t like healthcare executives or far-right extremism. So you have a confluence of risk factors here but what counterterrorism officials are saying is they are very concerned.
Oh, NOW they’re concerned, and even so, they call the terror attacks “ISIS-inspired.” But what inspires ISIS? That’s right — Islam, but Dilanian and NBC News would never concede that. And “far-right extremism”? What far-right extremism? Where are the Americans who are dying because of devout, far-right extremists? Dilanian did not provide an example of “far-right extremism,” of course; he didn’t even define “far-right,” but we all know that talking heads who use that term are referring to Trump’s MAGA movement – you know, the Greatest Threat to Democracy Since the Civil War™.
Notice that he didn’t use the term far-Left but “people who don’t like healthcare executives” – referring obliquely to the Left’s latest folk hero Luigi Mangione, the hoodied assassin who slipped up behind a healthcare CEO as he walked down a city sidewalk and gunned him down with a silenced pistol. Dilanian did not call him far-Left, just one of those “people who don’t like healthcare executives.” When, in fact, was the last time you heard any mainstream media figure other than maybe Sean Hannity use the term “far-Left”? And yet everyone to the right of Chairman Mao is “far-right.”
Another example of the Left’s latest whitewashing of jihad: In the wake of this horrific act of Islamic terrorism in New Orleans, the far-Left Daily Beast pounced on Donald Trump’s tweet bashing the Biden administration’s open border policy, and published this headline: “Trump Uses ‘Terror’ Attack by U.S. Army Vet to Stir Up Anti-Immigrant Hate.” Not “Islamic terrorist,” mind you, but “U.S. Army Vet.” Instead of condemning his “anti-infidel hate” that resulted in 15 dead Americans, the Daily Beast instead smeared Trump’s message as “anti-immigrant hate.”
Jabbar’s brother Abdur told the New York Times that they were both raised Christian but that the 42-year-old was “Muslim for most of his life.” Abdur then went on to issue the kneejerk denial that his brother’s actions had nothing to do with his faith: “What he did does not represent Islam. This is more some type of radicalization, not religion.”
No, it was religion, all right – specifically Islam. Because when Christians become extremely devout, they enter the priesthood or join a pro-life protest (and then go to prison for it under the Biden administration). For some reason, when Muslims become more devout, non-Muslims too often end up getting slaughtered — because, as Shamsud Din Jabbar insisted, this is a “war between the believers and disbelievers.”
And yet the Left stands firm: no matter what, Islam must never be to blame. Never.

The problem is occurring across the western world and it’s because there is a huge amount of money being donated to the UN by oil rich Arabs.
Defund the UN and there’s a chance that the muslims might change their behaviour.
The islamopithecines will never change their foul behavior. They just need to be isolated to their shitty part of the world and culled like the animals they are.
He was born in Texas. Cull Texan animals now?
It doesn’t matter where Jabbartard was born. And he was a stain on Texas. Any American who coverts to Islam is a piece of shit and it’s no surprise he ended up a terrorist..The cops blew his ass away though, ha HAW!
Jeff, why there are so many “thumbs down” on your comment I DO NOT know!!!
He was a dusgrace! Not only was he a disgrace to his state of birth but, more importantly, to the US military!! Ugh!!! AlLL of these Muslim pieces of GARBAGE have got to go.
Naw. Oil was discovered in Saudi Arabia in 1938. Islam was on a mission of conversion and conquest around the world for over 1300 years at that point. Oil revenue helped it along, no doubt, but the ideology is the problem.
“What he did does not represent Islam. This is more some type of radicalization, not religion.”
There are fools who believe the oldest lie about Islam…..that it is a religion of peace. If the Left wants to live in denial they will be the first to be killed when the attack happens. Or the Left will join in on the attack when it finally does happen.
And then they will still be the first to be killed when the Jihadist attack finally happens.
Personally I don’t care what B.S. the Left believes. When the SHTF they will be the cannon fodder for the Jihadists.
Leftists are grifting fools, and not averse to serving their own bellies.
Becauseof that, the entitled pricks dutifully avoid dumping the religion-of-peace in their own enclaves – only in ours.
Hence, their own actions testify that they do indeed know what baggage islam brings with it.
You’re point is valid. As these fools import the dregs of islam, they’re willfully oblivious that their gated palisades won’t save them once islamists aquire sufficient numbers. (As Barbara Boxer found out, they have to venture out of their safe spots on occasion – and might get mugged.)
A local newspaper in northern New Jersey headline was a former Princeton University student was killed in a truck accident in New Orleans.
Headline:
Reports: Princeton graduate among those killed in New Orleans vehicle crash
How despicable!! It was a TERRORIST ATTACK by an ISLAMIC ANIMAL and everyone knows that. How disappointing and egregious to refer to this incident as ANYTHING LESS!! This country is beginning to be one I do not even recognize in the least. How sad and disheartening 😡😢
The question is why. Money? WEF? Simple feelings of self superiority? Social exclusion revenge?
Why is up for debate.
Who is straightforward: Black Muslims
Yes as soon as I heard about this crime I thought ‘He’s black and an islamopithecine.” Big surprise, I was right.
Although Jabarrtard doesn’t even have the decency to be black or white, just some ugly mongrel. Ugly people should self deport themselves. Go live in ugly countries. I hate to have to look at them. Just get out of my sight, you freaks. Put bags over your ugly heads.
The Left is fine with Islamic terror hanging over the heads of American
citizens. Having people experience any loss of freedom in living daily
life is right up their alley.
They also want the straightforward idea that Islam is the cause of such
carnage all blurred, even confused in people’s minds – because that
way, people can’t unite and rise up against it. And when someone does
do that, they’re beaten back with cries of “Islamophobia” – that is, if
they’re not already beaten back with threats of violence from Muslims.
What’s particularly disgusting about these threats is that Muslims will
intimidate when the actual truth about their religion/political system is
revealed. It’s not as if they’re violently objecting to lies about Islam.
They are objecting to the truth about Islam being brought out in the open.
For example – Islamic ideology in their Koran calls for jihad against Jews,
Christians and other non-Muslims.
Both the Left and Muslims are complicit in hoodwinking Americans about
totalitarian, dangerous Islam.
Well said. Keep sharing your observations.
Leftists & islamists have one thing in common that unites them: a visceral hatred for American Western culture.
Should the myopic fools on the left succeed in “fundamental transforming America”, they’ll find out the hard way their love-fest alliance with muslims will end abruptly (My guess is the Queers for Gaza idiots will be 1st on the menu.)
As the islamists would begin feeding on leftists, the removed conservative patriots wouldn’t be around to save them.
It should therefore be banned in the USA.
YES, those White Supremacists, Christians, Pro-Lifers, and radical school parents, have been RIOTING, looting, attacking police, and burning cities down. Now they support, side with, and fight with terrorist groups and terrorist nations. They are The Enemy Within and Biden and Garland are correct.
This is another Muslim following Islam and its Quran against Non-Muslims in hopes of getting to Allah’s Paradise. Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” Allah in Quran 9:111 says, “Surely Allah has purchased from the believers[Muslims] their souls and their money so that they may have the garden[Heavenly Paradise]. They engage in war for the sake of Allah, so they kill and are killed…” For this killing act, a sacred and holy act, Allah spiritually rewards with Paradise.
I have this vision of them all in hell, claiming that heaven has been illegally occupied by genocidal apartheid non-believers, and that they are going to wage jihad to get into their rightful homeland and keep it free from said non-believers.
Jihadist myzzlymz saying this does not represent izzylam =
9-11 didin’t represent izzylam?
10=-7-2023 Israel and the ongoing war doesn’t represent izzylam?
Sorry dingbats who swallow these lies, this is izzylam and this does represent izzylam!
Izzylam is a religion of oppression and murder, or why the hell would this have happened and continued happening from all the izzylam deadly attacks over the decades from the 20th into the 21st centuries?
The people that refer to Islam as a religion of peace don’t realize that is the radical view of the religion. Isis terrorists are not the radicals. They are following the recipe right out of the cookbook. They think that their place in paradise is determined by the number of Infidels they slaughter.
Now if this person was Tea-Party Gun Owner and Conservative the M.S. Media Bottom Feeders would have a feeding freinzie but since he wasn,t we hear Crickets one again
The media and political establishment are a big part of the reason many Westerners cannot accept the nature of Islam. They conceal, deny, and outright lie about “the religion of peace.”. BTW, for what it’s worth, Ken Dilanian has long been considered as a spokesman for the intelligence community. It was revealed that, at least at one time, he would submit his stories to the CIA for its pre-publication approval. So what he says may well be just what the intelligence community wants you to believe. You never know.
The problem is always Islam. There is no “radical” Islam, but Islam that follows Sharia law as Muhammad ordered it to be followed and as his numerous followers have followed it and as canonical texts dictate.
there is no such thing as islamists , this is true islam . islamists is a fiction invented to allay fear of the death cult which is what islam is . contrary to popular belief it is not one of the great religions . the world has been suckered in to a false belief in that there is nothing to fear about islam , hence the invention of the word ” islamism ” . unfortunately the lie that there is a difference between islamism and islam will continue to be promulgated by the west and its elites and reinforced by the MSM . muslims are terrorists plain and simple active or no .
That Black Flag reminds me of a certain brand of Bug Killer Spray
RAID should be sprayed on all islamopithecines. They’re sub-human cockroaches.
Ooh. Three down votes. That means three cockroaches.
Scuttle back to the dark, vermin.
Aimee Horowitz waved an ISIS flag at Berkeley and it invited cordial conversation.
Afterwards, he waved an Israeli flag, and only then did students get ugly & confrontational.
You hear about islamophobia all the time, but the question is how many muslims in America, or anywhere else in the civilized world, have been killed merely because they were muslims and how many people have been killed in the civilized world merely because they weren’t muslims.
Very, very few of the former, and thousands of the latter.
Tells you all you need to know.
To admit Islam is at the bottom of these insane attacks is to admit they have been wrong since 9/11. “W”, Obama, Clinton, and Biden/Harris have their protection details, don’t they?
A leftist’s arrogance, willful ignorance, and cowardice would accept Islam’s Dhimmi status before defending Judaeo Christian liberty.
That horrific jihad vehicle terror murder and maiming Islamic attack in the city of New Orleans on New Years night is a reminder that there is much talk about rooting out the ideology of Islamic terrorism. What is not mentioned is that the foundation of this type of terrorism is the theology of Islam’s “holy book” the Quran. For the Quran instructs in the use of violence and killing for the advancement of Islam. As found in, for example, 2:191. 5:33. 9:5, 111.123. 47:4. Therefore Islam is a false ,dangerous and deadly religion.
That Muslims terrorist , Shamsad Din Jabbar using a who viciously murdered fifteen people and severely injured more than two dozen people in a vehicle jihad attack in the city of New Orleans at a New year’s event that engaging in a not a kind of “ warped Islam “ was actual Qur’an based Islam.
For the Qur ‘an instructs in Surah 9:123 “ O you who believe ! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you..” Din Jabbar in that vehicular Islamic attack was maliciously showing those people who aren’t Muslims “disbelievers” in the city very much harshness.
Likewise, gives instructions in Surah 47:4 Whenever you encounter the disbelievers strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them…” Din Jabbar, using a truck in a jihadist Islamic terrorist attack was able to inflect a greater “slaughter a among them than a \sword can.
In spite of all the facts of reality , some people still make the false claim that “Islam is peaceful , non-violent religion.” That claim both bogus and 100% balderdash.
Please tell me, was Shamsud Din Jabbar a native-born or naturalized American citizen?
Native born in Texas. Islamic garbage abroad & furiously imported to our neighborhoods (not politicians neighborhoods) is what influenced him.
The FBI has become an agency that is in league with Islamic jihad. Officially, they’re not even allowed to discuss Islamic extremism as they have been forbidden from even considering such a thing.
The FBI is corrupted from top to bottom. It’s a corrupt and malevolent organization. It can’t be reformed. It needs to be closed and replaced with something that has stricter controls and oversight.
I’m sorry but after forty years of DemoNazi control, every agent recruited is a radical anti-American, pro-Islamic threat. I will never forget the image of FBI agents taking a knee in support of BLM! That picture says everything you need to know about the FBI field agents. Agents sympathetic to a radical Marxist terrorist and racist ideology in conflict with our Constitution.
It’s difficult to apprehend because we’ve all been raised to see the FBI as righteous defenders of freedom and justice like The Untouchables, but that was subverted decades ago. FBI agents today have been selected under DEI, Leftist policies and are completely deviant and treacherous. They are radical subversives who side and defend the enemies of America.
The very fact that they approved the raid of Mar-a-Lago and rifled through Melania’s underwear drawer tells you everything you need to know. The fact that they staged photographs of supposedly top secret files on the floor which they then leaked to the press is very telling. Not to mention that there ultimately was no violation of the law. That tells you everything.
The FBI is toxic. Shut that malevolent organization down.
I imagine that the FBI, Journalists, and politicians wanted the dust to settle; the more foreign or domestic terrorism news, the more anxious and angry people become; Americans are already too divided as it is. It’s not only right/left, good/bad, or right/wrong. The truth lies somewhere in the middle.
I am incredibly disappointed, saddened, and in disbelief with my fellow Americans who criticized President Jimmy Carter within 24 hours of his passing for God’s sake! Some extreme opinions were pure vitriol spewed onto paper. Sure, President Carter was not perfect, At the same time, he was a peacekeeper who sacrificed his time and labor, building homes with his bare hands side-by-side with First Lady Carter, well into their 90s so others could have a home.
Please wait until January 29, 2025 to criticize President Carter when the flags are no longer at half mast or — at least, wait until he’s laid to rest. January 9th is a Day of Mourning when he lays in wait at the White House.
We should mourn the damage Carter did, both intentional and not, during and after his political career.
the radical left, are in general cowards that dont want to get their own hands dirty but they will use Islam as a club to destroy the foundations of the free market Christian West and that includes America. However if and when Islam actually does take over, the left will be certainly destroyed by them.
Muslims can functional normally in mixed society only when they ignore the many vitriolic parts of the Quran.
