New in PJ Media:
It has now been well over a week since a Syrian migrant named Mohamad Barakat opened fire on police at the scene of a traffic accident in Fargo, N.D., killing one and wounding two others, and investigators profess to be baffled as to why he would have done such a thing. Meanwhile, the information they have disclosed, which isn’t all that much, is oblique and contradictory, and the local Muslim community has added to the confusion with a decidedly mixed signal. At this rate, we may never find out what really happened in Fargo, and the questions and oddities keep multiplying.
One element of this curious incident that seems certain is that Barakat was planning to murder many more people than just one cop. The Star Tribune reported Friday that according to “North Dakota law enforcement officials,” Barakat “searched online for area public events along with the terms ‘kill fast’ and ‘mass shooting events’ before he ambushed police with nearly 40 rounds of gunfire.”
Barakat’s “final search at 10:30 the night before the shooting was ‘thousands enjoy first day of downtown Fargo street fair.’” The Downtown Fargo Street Fair did indeed begin the day before Barakat’s attack. What’s more, he had “1,800 rounds, multiple guns, and a homemade hand grenade” in his car, “along with gasoline containers and two propane tanks filled with explosive materials built in his home.”
But why did Barakat want to carry out a “mass shooting event”? The Star Tribune says that “the motive for his actions remains unclear.” Mac Schneider, U.S. attorney for the district of North Dakota, said this past Friday that “if there was clear evidence of motive we would share it.” North Dakota Attorney General Drew Wrigley added that “the shooting was not motivated by religious beliefs.”
Maybe not, but there is an extremely odd detail in the Star Tribune report: “Wrigley said a federal ‘guardian report’ was made some years back” about Barakat, “but it was not about a threat of violence. Schneider described a Guardian report as a way for the public to ‘engage local law enforcement.’”
That’s not exactly a full or honest description of what a Guardian report really is. As Twitter user ThunderB, who has been following this case closely and has an abundance of useful information on his or her Twitter page, points out, the Guardian system is officially “The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Terrorist Threat and Suspicious Incident Tracking System.” In this context, a “suspicious incident” is clearly terror-related: “Shortly after the September 11 terrorist attacks, three FBI field offices began using an application called the Terrorist Activity Reporting System to track and monitor terrorist threats and suspicious incidents.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

It sure was nice around here until those white people moved in – Said no one ever
Biggles says
‘Ghauri explained: “We have no clue whether he was even Muslim because his action doesn’t show that.’
Hmmm, a Syrian migrant named Mohamad. Let’s see, must be a Copt from Egypt called Frank, I guess.
notoislam says
I would say this SYRIAN IS MOSLEM. Y ES , he is following the sharia also -and how can you guess that he is not??? I say he is following directions to take out the kafir
DazzleMe says
I agree, just a typical moslem that wants to kill as many Americans as he can. Now the way cities are treating murders he won’t be in jail for long.
Hoi Polloi says
Yes.
Ghauri [lied]: “his action doesn’t show that.’ IOW, he didn’t slaughter enough infidels.
Mike says
How dumb. Of course he is a Muslim terrorist. What is it with our woke government that they can not discern anything at all?
DazzleMe says
Mike he will never be punished, that’s the way of our government these days. He also knows that.
ChiefMac says
The only way that can explain this inanity is because they either stupid or lying. There is no other answer
bill says
The reason is imple USA is such litigoious country packed with ambulance chasing lawyers that they are scred to say anything for fear of law suites
Arthur J Thornton says
When will western leaders wake up to the fact that muslims are in the U.S. & seemingly everywhere in the world for one reason alone & that’s to make the whole world muslim under sharia law!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OLD GUY says
The shooting was NOT motivated by religious belief, now just how do we know that? He’s probably enjoying his 72 virgins right now. I don’t think that hiding the fact that islam wants to dominate the world is going to stop the killings or make it go away. Sticking your head in the sand usually results in getting your butt kicked.
This was an Islamic jihadist attack of terrorism on non-islamic people period.
Bruce David Watt says
S.J.S.explains it all. Sudden Jihad Syndrome. if you are shamed by your actions in this life and know your community won’t welcome you into the heaven of wine and women, you must offer yourself up as a martyr and be killed in action.
David says
I had a half brother, now deceased, who had been a long convert to Islam. In conversations with him I definitely learned a few things about the religion of Islam. Whoever the official was that made the statement that the shooting was not connected to the religion of Islam really does not have a clue about what he is talking about. Killing the “infidels” is all about the Islamic religion is all about. For education on Islam, the best source available is through “Act for America”, a pure source of education. My half brother was an avowed Jihadist, and a dangerous man. Personally it was a relief when he passed, for he personally told me that when jihad came on the world, our family would have to be put to death if we did not convert. Study up on this hellish religion, and then you decide.
Rob says
Islam is the scourge of planet earth
DazzleMe says
Absolutely correct, they are also trying to take over the world.
John Burns says
Regarding Muslim slaughter over 14 centuries, one estimate is 273,000,000
dead in compliance with Mohammed’s dictum: “Kill them [infidels] wherever you find them.” As Stalin said about capitalism:
“When it’s time to hang the last capitalist he’ll sell us the rope.”
When it’s time to decapitate the last infidel he’ll provide the sword.
Walter Sieruk says
That dangerous jihad-minded Muslim ,Mohmand Barack, is an actual real Muslim terrorist .
In spite of what the politically correct people might say there is nothing wrong with calling a dangerous jihadist a “Muslim terrorist.” This is because that term is keeping within the bounds of reality with the instructions found in the Quran for jihad -minded devout Muslims. For the Quran instructs “”Strike terror [into the heart ‘of the enemies of Allah and your enemies.” Surah 8:60.
DazzleMe says
No doubt about OVomit Obama, he’s a moslem and I really don’t think he’s an American citizen. He lied -as all democrats do -to the American people so he could control. He was first black and was charming (gift of gab) and as Joey said he’s clean with taking baths. He is not he beginning of American problems but he has a great deal to do with it. So did Clinton.
Walter Sieruk says
Yes, things do get weirder and weirder. For it’s a strange but common phenomena in America’s and Europe’s modern PC culture that when it comes to Islamic terrorism there are many people who are afraid to call it what it is. That’s odd because no one is afraid to call a person who engages in violence for anarchy and “anarchist terrorist”. Nor are people afraid to call a Marxist who engages in violence for the ideology of communism a “Communist terrorist.”
Likewise, a person who commits violence for Environmentalism an “Environmentalist terrorists. “Nevertheless, when it comes to a Muslim terrorist who engages in deadly violence because of the theology and ideology of Islam, many people fear to call that person a “Islamic terrorist.” or a Muslims terrorists. Strange but true.
Walter Sieruk says
It always should be and likewise needs to be understood that the deadly and meaning ideology of Islamic terrorism has its very foundation of the theology of Quran based , non-watered down , Islam.
As found in that “grand holy book” of Islam” in Surah 9:123 which instructs “O you who believe ! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you and let them find harshness in you..”
There is also other places in that “supreme.” main religious book of Islam that give instructions for Muslim to engage in the bloody violence and killing for the cause of Islam, As in Surah 2:191. 4:89. 5:33. 47:4. 9:5, 111,122.
So Muslim terrorists in their murderous violence are following Quran based Islam and not some kind of “hijacked” or “warped” version of Islam, in spite of what the many apologists for Islam so false claim.
Many Westerners to come out of their mental denial about the violent and deadly of Islam.
In other words, they need to take their “Islamic blinders” and wake up to the terrible reality about the truth of that dangerous religion, which is Islam.
