New in PJ Media:
The U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs said it again in a report it published in November, “The Rising Threat of Domestic Terrorism”: “National security agencies now identify domestic terrorism as the most persistent and lethal terrorist threat to the homeland. This increase in domestic terror attacks has been predominantly perpetrated by white supremacist and anti-government extremist individuals and groups.” Conspicuously lacking from this oft-repeated claim are actual white supremacist terrorists, but a recent case in Texas may help: a man who is most certainly not black or Hispanic plotted to blow up a high school in Amarillo. There’s just one catch: in a bracing little reminder of the actual terror threats that the Left’s propaganda and fantasies have obscured, he’s a Muslim, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Iran.
Amarillo’s KVII reported Thursday that Erfan Salmanzadeh, 33, pleaded guilty on Monday to “use and attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction.” The “use” part of that stems from a July 2021 incident that brought Salmanzadeh to the attention of police. KVII noted Tuesday that Salmanzadeh “recorded multiple videos in which he referenced the high school.” In one of these videos, which Salmanzadeh recorded on July 22, 2021, he was “standing in his backyard speaking in a mixture of English and Farsi, said he was going to blow up Tascosa High School,” a public high school in Amarillo.
“We are going to blast the school,” Salmanzadeh, a Tascosa High School graduate, declared. What did he mean by “we”? The police have not said anything about that, and there is no hint in the available reports as to who his accomplices were, or if he even really had any. “We are going to hit Tascosa,” Salmanzadeh continued. “Look at these.” He then “pointed the camera at a nail bomb filled with shrapnel, a suicide vest filled with pipes labeled as explosives, a suitcase filled with containers labeled as explosives, and a backpack filled with bottles labeled as explosives.”
Four days after that, “a neighbor reported hearing a loud explosion at 3613 Lenwood Drive. The caller said they [sic; I don’t care what your gender studies prof told you, kids. People aren’t plural. The caller was a he or a she] heard a similar noise a few weeks earlier but did not report it.” When police responded to the call, they found a “large crater” in Salmanzadeh’s backyard that “appeared to have been created by an explosion.”
Salmanzadeh, however, attempted to explain the hole and the explosion away. He told the cops that he had been “popping small firecrackers” in his backyard, as well as “hitting them with a hammer.” And the hole? “He also said he was digging holes in the backyard with a shovel.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

I believe that it is a safe bet that Muslims will always be, by far, the world champions when it comes to murdering people in terrorist attacks. Doesn’t fit the moronic narrative of the left wing haters of the western societies that they live in. Their stupidity is beyond belief.

we’re talking about kids, stfu tim
Fitna says
Burnaby, man, woman or child, if you’re a terrorist, you deserve to be executed.
Fitna says
I think it’s going to be a long hard slog Tim. I went to a Leftist university but then broke away from Lefty thinking when I took a difficult course on Russian history and had a brilliant prof, she made me realize there some issues are very multifaceted.
Since then I always tried to keep an open mind and read center-right intellectuals too. What I mean to say is that I got away from the Lefty hive-mind but millions of them are still trapped in that biased form of thought.
They trust their ideological leaders and intellectuals, which is very dangerous since they don’t think for themselves. While their intelligentsia are themselves biased and clueless.
I recall in sociology class, American imperialism was always to blame for problems in other countries. Ofc as one reads more, one realizes that’s obviously not the case (though it deserves some blame).
So this is what we’re fighting against. I believe in time, as the violence, rape, terrorism, thuggery by Muslims will be too hard to ignore even by the most vapid of their herd.
I’ve said it before but we’re just waiting for the dumbest kid in class (mostly Lefties) to catch up with the rest of us on Islam.
Ofc when the majority of Liberals suddenly “discover” that Islam is evil, then we’ll all be given permission by the Left to fight against this ‘new terrible fascism.’
Imagine how differently the world would’ve looked if the Left and Right fully united on 9/11 against Islam.
We’d all be saying we can’t trust Muslims, don’t let them in. Europe would’ve closed the door on mass migration. Practically all the terrorist attacks would’ve never occurred since we’d keep the Muslims out.
Additionally we probably would’ve gone further and started deporting most if not all of them.
This is the greatest problem every free countries face, including Israel and India for example. Muslims are not really the maim problem. It is uneducated fools who mindlessly believe Islamic propaganda and become useful idiots in service of this wicked ideology.
They’re the same morons that run FB/Twitter for instance, or ofc are in the Dem party. That’s the “enemy” that is preventing us from defending ourselves from Islamification…and actually enabling it.
I recall some people here stated they’d never unite with the Left or gays for example. The trouble is that we need them on our side…but if not, then to at least get them out of our way.
So if we want to stop Islam, make friends with Lefties, talk to them one on one, educate them on Islam, esp by referring to sites like JW.
We can fairly easily defeat Islam in the West if we weren’t trying to fight the Left at the same time.
tim gallagher says
Thanks for the comment, Fitna. i also think that people will wake up to islam’s malignant nature. I always do have a lot to do with left wing people because my sisters and brother are fairly left wing and also one of my best, long term friends, is a left winger. They are smart people, certainly smarter than me in many areas of knowledge, but it seems to me that if you get locked into getting your news from the left wing media, in Australia it is, above all, the far left, taxpayer funded ABC, our equivalent of the UK’s BBC, then you seem to believe most of the very biased bullshit you get from such sources. As you say, Fitna, I do think that, on islam, we will win and enough people will wake up and deal effectively with the endless trouble islam always brings.
Aussie Infidel says
Tim, you are absolutely right. The ABC here in Australia, the BBC in the UK, and NPR, MSN etc in the US are all propaganda outlets for the Left; and Greens.
tim gallagher says
Yes, the extreme left bias of the ABC has certainly been a pretty big issue out here, Aussie Infidel. I have never watched or listened to anything from the ABC for over 20 years. If I did I would probably get so pissed off that I’d throw my TV or radio out the window. No-one in government ever seems to take them on. Apparently, the ABC, basically just a bunch of far left wankers, do have a charter which says they have to give balanced coverage of the news, which they simply ignore. From what i hear, the ABC spends its time trashing Australia at every opportunity.
Fitna says
You’re welcome Tim, same here most of my friends tend to be Leftist. Though part of my family is Christian and ofc they’re very well informed on Islam.
Here in Canada we have the CBC which is basically the propaganda arm of the Liberal (Trudeau) party and ofc they never have anything bad to say about Islam.
Indeed, I do believe when the dust settles we will have defeated Islam, the way we ended Nazism, but it’s going to be a hard battle.
I’ve seen in Europe anti-Islam, anti-migrant parties have been growing more popular, so that would really be the best way to remove Islam without the need for war.
Ofc it’ll be harder in the US and Canada where it’s mostly a two-party system, but if we get good leaders who oppose Islam here, then we can do the same as Europe.

Yes, yes, and yes.
Fitna says
Thanks James, I hope in the near future the Left and Right can set aside their differences and unite under the same anti-Islam banner.
No doubt the extreme-Left idiots and Muslims will scream ‘bloody murder!’ and call us fascists/racists, etc but if we stay strong we will defeat these monsters.
That’s the optimistic view, but I suspect many on the Left, esp. in the Communist camp will continue to back Islam in large numbers and we could be headed for a very real civil war in western nations.
It’s going to start at the ideological level, it has already in many ways and they’ve been winning so far by censoring any critical views of Islam. Let’s see how long they’ll be able to keep the lid on that pressure cooker, esp. as more people wake up and realize the truth.
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
I recently saw a New York area news report involving the alarming rise in anti-semitism. They showed numerous videos of attacks on Jews, but failed to mention that the vast majority of the attackers were Americans whose ancestry can be traced back to Africa. Whoops, my bad!
Fitna says
I’m not surprised, it’s all the Kanye West and Dave Chappelle lemmings doing their dirty work. Jews should be careful around blacks and Hitler-loving fascist whites.
Sadly for Jews they seem to be hated by many groups but on the positive side, the vast majority of the US population do support Jews and Israel, so they have a lot of allies, myself included.
