in World News BREAKING: ISIS Attack in Vancouver
By Robert Spencer
With everyone distracted by China, skyrocketing crime and inflation, a nonexistent Southern border, and rapidly increasing authoritarianism in Washington, the Islamic State (ISIS) has taken the opportunity to strike again in North America.
Yes, that’s right: ISIS, the group that everyone has forgotten about amid worries about “Islamophobia” and hysteria over near-nonexistent “white supremacist” terrorism. Canada’s Global News published the shocking report early Monday afternoon: “An attack on a transit bus in Surrey, B.C. over the weekend is being treated as terrorism after RCMP national security police took over the investigation.” It seems that the perpetrator, a manifestation of Canada’s deep commitment to diversity and multiculturalism named Abdul Aziz Kawam, was “initially charged with attempted murder for allegedly slashing a bus passenger’s throat on Saturday morning, but prosecutors added four counts of terrorism on Monday.” Kawam also attacked a second person with his knife as well.
The choice of the throat as a target should have been a tipoff, as the Qur’an directs Muslims: “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (47:4). The charges against Kawam also note that “the attacks were carried out for the so-called Islamic State,” an entity that would care very much about what the Qur’an has to say about where exactly the unbelievers should be struck.
The timing may also have been significant. It’s the Muslim fasting-by-day-and-gorging-by-night month of Ramadan, and jihadis have been known to term Ramadan “the month of jihad.” Because it is a month during which believers are supposed to redouble their efforts to please Allah, it is also a month that frequently sees increases in jihad violence, since that violence is supposed to please Allah.
