New in PJ Media:
Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national who had overstayed his visa, has now been saddled with 118 criminal charges, including 28 counts of attempted murder, for throwing Molotov cocktails last Sunday at a group of people who were peacefully marching to advocate for the release of the Israeli hostages Hamas seized on Oct. 7, 2023. He is also facing federal hate crime charges, as he was clearly intending to target Jews. Yet while we have come a long way from last Sunday, when Boulder police chief Steve Redfearn insisted that Soliman’s motive was not yet known, his real motive has not yet been confronted, and likely never will be.
A key element of Soliman’s motive was known right away, for as he attacked the marchers, he screamed “Free Palestine.” After he was taken into custody, he told police, as if it weren’t clear enough already, that he hated “Zionist people” and “wished they were all dead.” Boulder Detective John Sailer noted in an affidavit that Soliman said “he wanted them to all die and that was [his] plan. He said he would go back and do it again and had no regret doing what he did.”
And there is indeed no doubt that Soliman hated Jews and wanted to kill as many of them as he could last week in Boulder. However, his actual motive went deeper than that. In a video he made not long before his attack, Soliman said:
Allah is greater than anything. Allah is greater than the Zionists, Allah is greater than America and its weapons, Allah is greater than the F-35 planes, Allah is greater than everything else. So why do we fear those who are inferior to Allah rather than fear Allah himself?
If I told my wife and son every day to do something, but they didn’t do it, I would be angry. Maybe I would divorce my wife, maybe I would kick my son out of the house. Then what about Allah, who says to us every day, dozens of times, “Allahu akbar” [Allah is greater]. Do not forget: Allahu akbar. Do not forget that Allah is greater than everything. Not the Zionists, America, Britain, France or Germany. Only Allah has the right to be feared. I say to my mother, my wife, my children, my brothers, my people: I attest before Allah and before you that Allah, his messenger, and jihad for Allah’s sake are more beloved to me than you or the whole world are.
Soliman’s Facebook page, meanwhile, had a header image featuring this exhortation: “Open your heart to the Qur’an and you will be blessed in this life and the next.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

None dare call it islam…

The answer to “how many” is millions.
They want everyone, male and female, young and old, to worship their false god, fake prophet and vile demonically inspired book of filth.
mozscums know that Jews and Christians do not worship the false god, fake prophet and vile book. These ones are the first targets.
All others who refuse to worship as mozscums demand, are also targeted.
According to bits of recent news, some people are beginning to wake up to that fact.
An interview with a former official (I believe with ICE),was broadcast and the official said these terrorists are “knuckle-draggers.”
Sadly, too many city mayors and governors (it seems a large number are ***women****) are all on the side of the illegals and the criminals

Allah is the ruler of the Universe. Islam will conquer the Earth. And yet with these stupendous sponsors at his back he didn’t manage to kill a singles Jew. And couldn’t keep his shirt on.
What a dud!

Islam sure attracts the mentally challenged and criminal elements of society. It appears that what is most appealing to these low life losers, is the idea that Allah has sanctioned them the power to rape and kill as if they are heroes.
