You might have thought there was some corner of the planet where this sort of thing didn’t happen. You’d have been wrong. The incident got no attention from the establishment media in the West, but it was no less momentous for being ignored, as it may have been the first-ever jihad attack, at least in modern times, in Hong Kong.

The Indian publication The Organiser (yes, they’re allowed to hear about such incidents in India, but not so much in the United States) reported Friday that “a 22-year-old Bangladeshi Muslim migrant identified in local social-media reports as Khan was arrested after a knife attack at the Baguio Villa residential estate in Hong Kong’s Southern District on August 10, in which a foreign domestic helper and a security guard were injured and hospitalised.”

There is no indication that Khan was acting out of some grievance, or targeting people known to him. Instead, he went after random people, as The Organiser makes clear when it says that he “charged at a male passerby” after walking out of “his unit in Block 47 wearing only sweatpants and moved towards Block 43.” The random man “narrowly escaped the attack, after which the suspect turned on a security guard.”

Why would Khan try to stab random people walking by on the street? Both the Islamic State (ISIS) and al-Qaeda have repeatedly called upon Muslims in non-Muslim states to target people at random in order to “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60), as well as to overburden and ultimately destroy the law enforcement and intelligence apparatuses of infidel societies.

As far back as September 2014, the Islamic State called upon Muslims to “kill a disbelieving American or European — especially the spiteful and filthy French — or an Australian, or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the disbelievers waging war, including the citizens of the countries that entered into a coalition against the Islamic State.” The jihadis exhorted their coreligionists to “rely upon Allah, and kill him in any manner or way however it may be,” including several options for how the killing should be done. One of those was “slaughter him with a knife.”

And so that’s exactly what Khan tried to do. He was “bare-chested and barefoot when he emerged from his residence,” possibly so that when he emerged in Islam’s physical paradise after being killed, he wouldn’t have to waste a large amount of time undressing before beginning to enjoy himself with the fabled virgins of paradise.

There is more. Read the rest here.
