Here we go yet again. This is how this narrative, which we see after every jihad massacre, works. When Muslims murder infidels, Muslims are the victims. Any measures taken in the wake of the jihad massacre to prevent Muslims from massacring infidels in the future is a sign of “collective punishment” and “Islamophobia.” Always and in every situation, Muslims are victims, to be appeased and accommodated in every possible way, and every counterterror measure, no matter how mild, is a step toward “stigmatising and criminalising Muslim communities.” Even discussion of how jihadis use the texts and teachings of Islam to recruit peaceful Muslims and justify violence must be shut down, as it supposedly endangers innocent Muslims “who feel they’re going to be targeted because of an increased threat of backlash.” Non-Muslims in the West fall for this propaganda initiative every time, which is why it keeps on being used.
“The alleged shooter’s name, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, has stirred anti-Muslim sentiments in the community, Smith said.”
His name is actually Ahmad Al Aliwi Al Issa. That’s how he himself wrote his name on his Facebook. The establishment media’s constant use of “Alissa” appears to be an attempt to obscure the shooter’s Muslim identity.
Also, it is unclear from this report whether Tracy Smith of the Islamic Center of Boulder did not offer any evidence to support her claim that the shooting has “stirred anti-Muslim sentiments,” or if “journalist” Natalia V. Navarro just left that evidence out of her report. In any case, in light of the many, many fake “Islamophobic” hate crimes, it would be good to see any. If there actually were any, the establishment media would be only too happy to report on it, so we should be seeing it any minute, no? Note that Smith refers to “women who are fearful of wearing their hijabs in public and men with beards who feel they’re going to be targeted,” but those are fears about something that they think might happen. There is no mention of any actual incidents of “backlash.”
“It’s unknown whether Alissa practices any religion and no evidence he practices Islam specifically.”
Is Navarro (or Smith) lying outright, or misinformed? Here is a post from Al Issa’s now-deleted Facebook page:
Have you ever known of a non-Muslim or non-religious person to post quotes from Muhammad calling on people to worship Allah? Maybe Tracy Smith or Natalia V. Navarro could give us a few examples.
“Boulder Muslim Community Fears Backlash After Alleged Mass Shooter’s Name Released,” by Natalia V. Navarro, CPR News, March 26, 2021 (thanks to David):
Fear of religious-based backlash after the mass shooting in Boulder on Monday has forced the city’s Muslim community center to take security precautions, including temporarily suspending daily prayer services.
“The person who murdered 10 people at King Soopers in Boulder does not represent the Muslim community,” said Tracy Smith with the Islamic Center of Boulder at a city council meeting Wednesday. “He doesn’t represent Islam. He just happens to have a Muslim name.”
The alleged shooter’s name, Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, has stirred anti-Muslim sentiments in the community, Smith said. It’s unknown whether Alissa practices any religion and no evidence he practices Islam specifically.
“I have spoken to some who are afraid to leave the house,” she said. “Others are changing up the past of their daily walks women who are fearful of wearing their hijabs in public and men with beards who feel they’re going to be targeted because of an increased threat of backlash.”
Smith said her community wants to keep the focus on remembering those lost, but that the Islamic Center of Boulder has received an outpouring of support over the last week….

Don’t worry, Mohammedans! Colorado is way toooo buried in weed to do anything about what your Syrian bro did last week at that grocery.
Now, had he disrupted Colorado’s main supply of weed, there may have been a backlash!!

Weed or no weed, the counterjihad should repeat and repeat: ‘It’s the IDEOLOGY, stupid.’

The Quran is a terrorist document, it tells Muslims who to kill, why to kill, when to kill, where to kill and how to kill!
It must be banned!

If the Qur’an were banned, only Infidels like Robert Spencer would be arrested for reading and citing it. Muslims would not stop.
Really, it makes more sense for us to find out what is in the Qur’an.
Eur says
meanwhile suicide bombings against Catholic churches in Indonesia, killings of dozens of Christians in Nigeria and Kenya … but of course the real victims are the poor Muslims. The Neverending Story.
mortimer says
Actually, the cause of the massacre is the JIHAD DOCTRINE of war against disbelievers to terrorize them. This concept only exists in Islam. People are justified to search for the motive of the shooter, Ahmad al-Issa. His motive was clearly jihadic terrorism.
There are 5 parts to our counterjihad explanation of jihad: 1) Islam is a POLITICAL IDEOLOGY and 2) the MOST IMPORTANT PILLAR of that ideology is JIHAD. 3) Islam is fully codified since 1111AD and thus it cannot be reformed … 4) Muslims therefore have a choice to accept jihad or to leave Islam. 5) A Muslim who doesn’t participate in jihad is called a ‘MUNAFIQ’ (hypocrite). A munafiq is a two-faced Muslim who hides his apostasy, and a peaceful Muslim who refuses to participate in jihad. This is made clear in Q.4.150-151. See also 4.66 , 4.74, and 4.88. Most Muslims today are munafiqs who do not participate in jihad and make excuses for not doing so. They are using ‘taqiyya’ to avoid jihad.
That is the main message that the counterjihad must repeat and repeat until everyone understands it.

In other words, jw has rightly pointed out that pious Muslims wage violent Jihad on a reguar basis–don’t you ‘filthy Infidels’ realize that under Shari’ah you are not allowed to so much as mention this out loud?
Then, what he is implying is projection–the false claim that pointing out violence in others is actually calling for violence. Utterly false.
Note that this pious Muslim says *nothing* critical about Jihad terror–including mowing people down at a market. But then, why would he? This kind of terror attack is perfectly Islamic.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
The assumption here is that a backlash would necessarily be unfair, unjust. But is it? To answer the question the fearful Boulder Moslems must explain how the actions of Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa breaks from the commands in the Holy Ko-Ran. If they can’t explain the disconnection, then they are connected to Ahmad and his doings, and a backlash is justified here.
mortimer says
To search for the motive in Islamic, jihadic ideology is what Sun Tzu called ‘knowing your enemy’.
NECESSITY OF KNOWING THE ENEMY AND ONE’S OWN FORCES
-“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” – SUN TZU
PRCS says
Ta! Da!
But the crux of your post: asking Muslims–anywhere–to explain how Al Issa’s beliefs and actions do not comport with True Islam—-they must first be asked to do so.
Fred van de Bunt says
Tracy Smith is the communications member of the Boulder Islam centre, I read here:
https://www.dailycamera.com/2020/01/17/islamic-center-of-boulder-shares-human-rights-injustice-of-muslim-minorities-in-china-kashmir-india/
She is a human right warrior, it seems, that gets paid for it course, and fights for all those suppressed Muslim communities around the world, like in India, China and Kashmir.
The enormous amount of non-Muslim communities that are maltreated in awful ways in Muslim majority countries she of course cares about too, but according to this quite remarkable Muslim logic, Muslims never maltreat others, only the occasional person that talks, looks, acts and thinks like a Muslim, but is of course no Muslim.
mortimer says
Tracy Smith at a city council claimed without evidence that Al-Issa “ … doesn’t represent Islam. He just happens to have a Muslim name.”
Tracy Smith erroneously believes that JIHAD is not part of Islam. To the contrary, JIHAD Is VERY MUCH a part of Islam, since it is THE MOST IMPORTANT PILLAR OF ISLAM.
Indonesian cleric Abu Bakar Ba’asir: “There is no nobler life than to die as a MARTYR for JIHAD. None. The HIGHEST DEED in Islam is Jihad. If we commit to Jihad, we can neglect other deeds, even fasting and prayer.”
Al Issa was conducting THE MOST ISLAMIC ACT … jihadic terrorism against disbelievers.
gravenimage says
Grimly spot on.
Wellington says
Same old same old. Muslims as victims again.
And the main trouble is not Muslims en masse, even those who don’t participate in jihad (which of course makes them bad Muslims as mortimer noted above), but a very large percentage of non-Muslims who continue to refuse to learn what Islam really preaches, what it intends for all, thus demonstrating again that continued ignorance of evil is actually worse than evil itself.
And Islam is evil, of this I have no doubt. And while not all Muslims are evil, though all are at least confused human beings, the ideology of Islam is surely evil. Might as well maintain the ideology of Nazism isn’t evil as maintain that the ideology of Islam isn’t—master race malevolent rubbish versus master faith malevolent rubbish.
mortimer says
If Muslims do not conduct jihad themselves, they are required to PAY FOR SOMEONE ELSE to conduct jihad. No Muslim may avoid the duty of jihad … or they end up in Islamic hell.
mortimer says
Kindly note that the Boulder mosque is praying for the victims and families … that is forbidden according to Islam. No Muslim is permitted to pray to Allah to help a dirty kafir. That would be ‘haram’.
gravenimage says
Mortimer, I would take this claim from the Boulder Mosque with a rather large grain of salt.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
… but according to this quite remarkable Muslim logic, Muslims never maltreat others, only the occasional person that talks, looks, acts and thinks like a Muslim, but is of course no Muslim.
Being a Moslem is a temporal thing, moment by moment as required by the context. It’s more convenient that way for the Jihad, the most serious of efforts in Islam.

One reason for disliking mozlums….they make up stuff, whine and complain and say they are in fear…***because**** another one of their breed murdered people.
If they ever, just once, came out with a real, true condemnation of the actions…and admitted that it is isalm at the root of these terror attacks…
But, they never will. Not only do they lie and deny that islam has anything to do with terror, but they then want to be held unaccountable in any way or form…for the enabling, the encouraging, the funding, the support….and expect all of the victims and their families to be supporting their “community.”
And, they always…always…get “support” and assurances of acceptance, and **no blame**, lots of understanding, cakes, and pies and whatever else the foolish, clueless infidels wish to pour out… pour out upon the “community,” and it’s …never….enough….to …suit….these….creeps.
They always claim and whine that there is a “backlash” and they are “afraid” to go for walks, or shop, or “prey.” And always…always without exception…***afraid*** to wear their ugly scarves…It’s funny that they don’t remove them out of fear of a “backlash.” they just snivel.
Just another very good reason to wish they would all go live someplace else if they must be mozlems. Better yet, give up the practice of evil filth and behave as normal a human as they are able. Renounce and denounce…and stop all of the lying snivel.

It is not just a strategy. It is because they believe in collective guilt. If a single Christian in a Moslem country commits a crime, then Moslems will retaliate against all Christians. So they actually expect the same treatment here when a single Moslem commits a crime. They have no understanding of Judeo-Christian justice where it is believed that each person (and those who directly abet) is/are responsible for the crime. Ties of race, religion, nationality, or family do not automatically transfer guilt.
They really just don’t get it.
tim gallagher says
The Muslim mentality is amazing and very sick. It must be this Muslim supremacist crap that they believe in. Do they seriously think that they can go on murdering non-Muslims in endless terrorist attacks, raping girls and women in Muslim gangs, etc, and yet the non-Muslims are just going to go on liking Muslims and that there won’t ever be a response? The Muslim mentality is downright bizarre. Actually, there hardly ever is any revenge taken against the Muslims, probably because most people in western countries are so civilised and nice. And this Muslim whingeing definitely does show, over and over again, what totally selfish creatures Muslims are. They couldn’t give a stuff about the non-Muslim victims, it is always, oh, we Muslims are going to cop some trouble because yet another Muslim terrorist scumbag has killed some non-Muslims. This Muslim attitude is sickening. Keep them in their own crappy Muslim countries. If Muslims want to be liked and not have to have a fear of some backlash, then stop murdering non-Muslims and live a peaceful way of life. Not that that will ever happen, living in peace is un-Islamic.
PRCS says
“Do they seriously think that they can go on murdering non-Muslims in endless terrorist attacks…?
Yes.
And some actually act out “the faith”.
tim gallagher says
PRCS, there’s no doubt that Muslims aim to go on murdering and raping non-Muslims continually. That is basic Islam. It’s been their disgusting way of life for 1400 years. What amazes me is the way that they seem to expect to go on carrying out such evil acts and yet they seem to think that the non-Muslims will just go on liking Muslims and being pleasant to them and there won’t be a backlash. That’s the bit I don’t understand about the Muslim mentality. But then again, the Muslim mentality is totally fucked up in every way, so I shouldn’t be surprised by their attitude.
PRCS says
Islam’s ultimate goal is to subjugate the entire world under the hegemony of Islamic law.
The general Muslim mentality?
Some Muslims (9/11 and roughly 30,000 other acts of violent jihad since [Sri Lanka, Nice, Paris, New York, San Bernardino]), have carried out “Allah’s” totalitarian will, as they understand it, to their bloody best.
Most Muslims, IMO, either really do know they’re not living up to Big Al’s demands or simply don’t know what the texts of their theocratic “complete way of life” actually say.
Of significance, even when those of Anjem Choudary’s ilk do tell the unvarnished truth about Islam, so few of our friends and neighbors believe them.
tim gallagher says
PRCS, you are certainly right about the way that so many people refuse to believe it when some creature like Choudary tells the truth about Islam’s aims. I suppose that people go on having a more peaceful life (at least for a while) if they continue to believe that Islam is no danger to us and things are just fine.

The mistake was our politicians opened the American borders to these hate American’s Muslim followers.
Someone please tell me what good has come from the diversity of muslim’s being in America? Most of what I read and hear about Muslim/islamic migrants is Child abuse, rape, murder, beheadings, sexual assaults, honor killings, rape gangs, unemployment and living off of welfare and terror attacks. Don’t see much good for America in that.
Ben Kennedy says
Generally people have an innate sense of right vs wrong (good vs evil). This knowledge is what causes thrill seekers to do something wrong; it gives them a thrill to get away with what is forbidden to everyone else. This can scar them in time, as it does with addictions, and often these people will do things designed to get them arrested. There is a desire for justice, after swimming in crime for so long.
I suggest the Moslem community does not “Fear” a backlash, and the lie about it makes them even more guilty. What they fear is “Justice”.
gravenimage says
Actually, Ben, what people are taught *does* matter. Most in the Wet have at least a fairly decent sense of right and wrong. Those indoctrinated in the vicious diktats of Islam, not so much.
Of course, some people–for good or ill–*do* oppose what they have been taught–but this is fairly rare. I don’t think the average pious Muslim feels guilty about their violence.
