This level of planning and premeditation belies the current “radicalization” narrative, which claims that Jabbar snapped under the weight of his marital and financial difficulties.
“New Orleans terrorist recorded French Quarter with Meta glasses, FBI says,” ABC.net.au, January 5, 2025:
The man who drove a truck into crowds in New Orleans had previously visited the city twice and recorded video of the French Quarter with hands-free glasses, according to an FBI official.
Shamsud-Din Jabbar killed 14 people and injured at least 30 others when he rammed into crowds on New Year’s Day.
The earlier reported death toll of 15 included Jabbar, who was fatally shot at the scene on Bourbon Street.
FBI Deputy Assistant Director Christopher Raia said Jabbar travelled to Egypt and Canada, but it was not yet clear whether those trips were connected to the attack.
FBI special agent in charge of the New Orleans Field Office Lyonel Myrthil added that the suspect travelled to Cairo in the summer of 2023 and then to Canada a few days later….
Troybeam says
Years ago while in New Orleans was in the french quarter, can see it would not be hard to plant bombs with the way it is laid out and tourists in and around the area. Happy the church was not bombed along with Cafe Du Monde, great beignets coffee not so much, very strong too strong like battery acid.
Time for everyone to be aware of surroundings especially in crowds, Oct.7 2023 was a call for jihad globally.
Peter Wagner says
All his travels and rentals cost money. Yet, the media claims he was under financial stress. This is more pandering to Muslim nonsense
Taffy says
Not to mention Meta glasses cost from $370 to $1000 per pair depending on the model.
Maybe this Muzzie had financial assistance from a mosque?

Important points, Peter and Taffy.
RegT says
agree.
Dina Collins says
Who Paid for trips?
Westman says
Islam does not offer suicide as a legitimate escape from life. However, Islam does allow “suicide” by dying while killing the enemies of Islam and in fact offers the highest eternal rewards for martyrdom. This jihadi was prepared to continue killing as long as possible, racking up the martyr-score to the end. It was planned, not spontaneous.
When the media insists that an attack by a Muslim jihadi-terrorist was a result of depression, despondency over the loss of relatives, rejection, or bankruptcy – well DUHHH! As Paul Harvey would say, “And now, the rest of the story!”
The lazy media only does the minimum effort in reporting and often wears blinders as plausible deniability. The fact is, Islam rewards martyrdom against all enemies of Islam, anywhere, anytime, by any Muslim. The West is regarded as an enemy of Islam because it fought wars in their lands. Remember Afghanistan, Iraq-Iran war, invasion of Iraq, Syria? Remember the depraved rejoicing of Western Muslims over 9/11, 10/7?
Fool yourself with, “I am not a target of Islam”. CAIR will give you a “blinders” speech about radicals in all religions but never mention the doctrine of ascension to the highest Jannah through martyrdom against enemies of Islam.
Beards:
Is the jihad-orientation proportional to beard growth as we have observed in past attacks? Jabbar, in a more recent photo was getting very bushy. If you see this sudden unlimited beard growth in a Muslim neighbor, keep an eye out. If he dyes that beard red and some other bushy guys keep coming ’round, keep both eyes open.
gravenimage says
Beards are very common with Jihadists, Westman. But then sometimes Jihadists shave–either to blend in with the Infidels, or as “bridegrooms” for the Houris in Paradise.
Leonidas says
Jihad is offspring of Islam.
Islam ( submission)will collapse ,like USSR in 1989,if we DENOUNCE pseudo prophet MUHAMMAD,who according to his biography( Sira) and traditions( Hadith) was a pedophile( wife Aisha was 9 yo), rapist, murderer, bandit (keeping20% of the booty for himself),liar and sex-slave trader and also LIBERATE THE MUSLIM WONEN from barbaric Sharia Law.The Koran states women are dumb, less intelligent than men,wives must be beaten for disobedience by their hudbands ,all women will go to hell unless in the last day their husband says he was pleased with her and all women must hide their curves and wear burkas ,so that men will not be aroused to rape them.Islam is a misogynistic ,violent , imperialist political ideology of Arab supremacy ISLAMOFASCISM(~70%), DISGUISED AS A RELIGION(~ 30%) that strives through violent Jihad and soft cultural Jihad ( dawa)to subjugate the World.Jihadists are promised, if killed battling infidels-kafirs,) they will go to Paradise to enjoy 72 virgins ,taking along 70 of their relatives regardless of their sins!Muslim Immigration is Hijra( flight)to take over the country they settle in ,like Muhammad did to Yatrib-Medina.This, along with forced child marriages and four wives per man ( Bin Laden had 52 siblings and 16 children),the muslims will soon outnumber the local populations and will impose Sharia law .Withdraw from UN MIGRANT COMPACT ,that falsely claims immigration is a Human Right expecting Western countries to accept and provide for an endless number of muslim illegal immigrants ,thus islamizing them. Muslim “refugees “should stay in Turkey or vast rich Saudi Arabia with international support ,until they can return to their countries.We must denounce islamic Sharia (=way)law of blasphemer,apostate ,homosexual , adulterer and hypocrite executions,misogyny,honor killings by stoning,hand amputations for theft,child brides,girls exclusion from schools,halal meat from tortured animals,clitorectomies,subjugation and segregation of women,burkas and Sharia banning of short skirts,bikinis,dancing,singing,painting ,sculptures of people,dogs,pork,alcohol and beauty contests .Demand gender equality for ALL muslim women.Punish severely those that kill apostates from Islam,blasphemers,adulterers or muslim hypocrites.Islam is incompatible with our freedom of speech, gender equality, values,way of life, Human Rights, Constitution, Republic and population stability needed to sustain Life on Earth.Tolerating intolerant Islam is cultural suicide!For more info on Islam go to YOU TUBE for: ApostateProphet,Exmuslims,David Wood,Ayan Hirsi Ali,BrigitteGabriel,BillWarner,Politicalislam.org,PamelaGeller,Jihadwatch,Nonie Darwish , Wafa Sultan,Richard Dawkins on Islam,Ani Cyrus , Geert Wilder,obsession – what the West needs to know.Also Google: Wikiislam, The religion of peace,barenakedislam, MEMRI etc.Watch the deposition of Ayan Hirsi Ali in Congress on how to defeat Islam:https://www.hoover.org/research/challenge-dawa-political-islam-ideology-and-movement-and-how-counter-it

New Orleans jihad mass murderer recorded French Quarter with Meta glasses
………………………………………
Of course this act of Jihad terror was planned. And this pious Muslim was happy to use Infidel inventions to plot murdering us.
Walter Sieruk says
Shamsad Din Jabbar, after he died in a shootout with the police after he committed those mass murders in the city of New Orleans had a very blatant “reality check.” For in his deluded Islamic viewpoint, which he obtained from the Qur’ an, instead of finding himself in some type of paradise, to his shock and horror he found himself trapped and suffering terribly in the fires of hell, which is described in the Bible, Luke 16:19-24. Matthew 13:41-42. For the Bible informs its reader that a murder “will not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 5:21 [N.K.J.V.] Furthermore, Revelation 21:8 also confirms this.
That Muslim Din Jabbar, became literally as it’s termed “dangerous to self and others” because he believed in the falsehood of the promises of the Qur an and likewise his blind unquestioned faith. In the false religion which is Islam.
Walter Sieruk says
As for Islam being a called a “Death cult” That is valid and true statement. That death inflicting Muslim terrorist, Shamsad Din Jabbar, who killed many people in the city of New Orleans in New Year’s night is but one of many examples of that terrible truth.
The reason why this is so is because Islam “holy book,’ the Qur ‘an has instructions for the violence of killing and being killed while fighting in the jihad for the advancement of Islam as found in the Qur’ an ,for example, Surah 2:191. 4:89. 9:5, 123. 47:4. This is most terrible.
Furthermore, many a times members of different jihad terror/ murder entities., Each of the own jihad terror group have gathered together and chanted about Westerners and themselves ,over and over again, “They love life , we love death.”
With all this , it stands treason that Islam is really a death cult.
In great contrast, to the dead cult of Islam is Christianity, which is centered on Jesus ,Who taught and gives life and not death. As Jesus declared, “ I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” John 10:10. [N.K.J.V.]
Walter Sieruk says
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.
Walter Sieruk says
That horrific jihad vehicle terror murder and maiming Islamic attack on New Years Eve at New Orleans As such brutal, vicious deadly violence is sanction and taught in the Quran. As found in, for example, Sarah 5:33. 9:5, 111,123. 47:4.
There are some naive Westerners who might be shocked to find this out and the wonder and then ask “Just who can Muslim, Shamsad Din Jabbar, being so very religious ,also be so extremely heartless ,unfeeling, brutal and murderous to kill as to murder all those people and main other people in the city of New Orleans ?” The answer that question is found in the Bible. For the Bible reveals there are some men who are so very cold, callous and dangerous because they have had “their own conscience seared with a hot iron” First Timothy 4:2. [N..K.J.V.]
The “hot iron” in this case is Islam.
James Lincoln says
If one watches this video of Shamsud-Din Jabbar, one would think that he is an educated, well-dressed, and well-spoken individual.
But it is all a façade.
Deep down, he is a muslim – who eventually decided to become more “devout”.
