Who saw this coming? Bader Alzahrani, a Saudi national who stole a New Jersey school bus and wrote about jihad and “blood, destruction, Allah,” has been found incompetent to stand trial. And that makes total sense, right? After all, it isn’t as if he were someone who was actually dangerous, such as a MAGA hat-wearing Trump supporter. So why should the poor dear be put through the trauma of an actual trial?
Lehigh Valley Live reported Thursday that Alzahrani “is facing charges from incidents in January, including receipt of a stolen vehicle transportation of a stolen vehicle in federal court, and motor vehicle theft, burglary, theft of moveable property, criminal damage and criminal trespass in New Jersey court.” However, federal Judge Michael Hammer (wait, shouldn’t that be Judge Michael Gavel?) said, “based on a psychiatric report sealed by the court, Alzahrani has a mental disease or defect that makes him unable to understand the court proceedings and properly participate in his defense.”
This is perfectly reasonable once one understands that Judge Mike Hammer is part of an establishment that does not acknowledge the existence of Islamic jihad. The Obama administration removed all mention of Islam and jihad from counterterror training back in 2010, and since then it has become settled dogma among the political elites that “Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism,” as Hillary Clinton so memorably put it in November 2015. When confronted with an actual Islamic jihad terrorist, these fantasists claim he is mentally ill. Anyone who thinks God has told them he will reward them for killing people must be crazy, right?
Alzahrani does appear to be a committed jihadi. According to the criminal complaint against him, he not only stole the bus but apparently broke into an unoccupied residential home across the street from the parking lot where the bus was stolen. A backpack was found in that home, containing Alzahrani’s Saudi passport and a number of “other items that appeared to belong to Alzahrani.” Among these items were journals that contained entries in both English and Arabic. The entries were hair-raising.
Alzahrani wrote: “Why didn’t you slaughter the police officer who threw the Quran?” And: “This is a war, and there will be losses, and collateral losses. … It is a war and y’all started, feel the rage.” The war he had in mind would be extremely bloody: “Destruction of the new world and the earth will be destroyed from all sides.” It was a religious war: “God I am ready for your orders. I want to live the rest of my life to serve you and the religion.” Alzahrani also wrote: “Blood, blood, destruction, destruction. Allah.”
Amid all this, Alzahrani had time to throw in the antisemitism that we have come to expect from hardcore jihadis: “Jews control everything,” he wrote, and “F**k each and every Jewish person.” He also added, in a blow to the feds’ “white supremacist” hunters, “F**k you privileged whitey.” According to the complaint, “the Journals also included entries concerning ‘Jihad’ and how Alzahrani did not intend to return to Saudi Arabia.” He also doesn’t seem to have placed a whole lot of emphasis on his studies, despite being in the United States on a student visa: “In or around October 2022, Alzahrani left the university in which he was enrolled and was reported missing.”
There is no indication from the criminal complaint about what exactly Alzahrani intended to do with his purloined school bus, or what connection, if any, the hate-filled and violent rants in his journals had with the bus theft. Nonetheless, anyone who could write the kinds of things that Alzahrani wrote clearly had malign intentions that would likely have manifested themselves in some form before he returned to Saudi Arabia. We can be grateful that all Alzahrani did was steal a bus, and that no one got hurt in the process. Nevertheless, this incident should make American authorities reexamine some of their basic assumptions, although that’s about as likely as the Democrats running Trump for president in 2024.
Now that he has been declared incompetent to stand trial, Alzahrani will likely be allowed to return to Saudi Arabia, and that will be that. We will almost certainly never find out exactly how he intended to bring blood and destruction upon non-Muslims in the United States for Allah. But Judge Mike Hammer and his colleagues would do well to study Islam’s theology of jihad before ruling on any similar cases in the future. After all, lives could be at stake.
In case you were wondering, all Muslims share the same affliction. Islam is what causes the mental disease. Nobody really saw it before the mass migrations of Muslims into Europe and the United States, at the behest of insane liberals and progressives.
But we are reaping what we have sewn and will continue to reap that misery until the Western Man regrows his cojones.
Every Muslim a terrorist. Every Mosque a weapons cache.
Arrest Barack Obamas, Bidens, Harris, Clintons, FBI, et.al., for TREASON, etc; deport to Muslim Africa and banish from USA for ever on penalty of summary execution on sight.
Actually, we reap what we have “sown” not “sewn” which would be used for “sew.” I disagree that every Muslim is a terrorist. Although I am a Christian, I’ve known a number of Muslims who were not violent in their actions or thought processes.
Chicken or the egg?? Was he mentally ill BEFORE he became a muslim or BECAUSE he was a muslim?? It’s more and more evident that islam is NOT compatible with Western laws and civilization! We don’t have Baptists or Methodist or even the Snake Handlers running amok so why is islam tolerated in a civilized world?? The LEFT’S “tolerance” for the INTOLERANT is undermining Our Nation. It’s almost as if they INTEND to DESTROY the USA!
Good sentiment, bad analogy. The egg predates the chicken by millions of years 😉
This is why we need a Border Wall and total end to this open door policy of micro-brained liberals
Arrest and deport all Muslims from USA for NATIONAL Security, starting with Barack Obamas, Bidens, Harris, Clintons, FBI, et.al., for TREASON, etc; deport to Muslim Africa and banish from USA forever on penalty of summary execution on sight.
One day he will be seeing Allah and he wont be whom they expected
I am shocked by the vituperation in the comments of fellow readers. I have had the privilege of knowing the Muslim parents of several children from the Middle East who came to access lung transplantation at my hospital. These people were deeply grateful and respectful of everyone on our team. They appreciated our efforts and the gifts of donor families who provided organs for their children. They respected me and I never hid my Christian faith. In fact, I told them that I prayed for their children in the name of the prophet Isa (Jesus). My life experience is that not all Muslims are hateful but the portion that do are generally not rebuked by the majority. Islam is a bad religion.
the belief that not all muslims should be tarred with the same brush as their violent counterparts is beyond foolish . muslims will practice [ taqiyya ] or deception to achieve their ends , any muslim that befriends an infidel is regarded as an apostate and would be murdered . the koran preaches that allah is the best of deceivers [ common name satan ] hence the reason why all muslims are not allowed to question the writings of the known pedophile mohammad . not all germans were nazis during the second world war but all suffered the consequences of the decisions made by their leader . the world is being dragged into the pit of hell courtesy of all western governments who have embraced islam as the so called ” peaceful religion ” now that the trojan horse has been wheeled in there is no going back . the west will be destroyed by its rejection of christianity .
