"Free Palestine!" (the new "Allahu akbar!") in Boulder CO

Looks like "Free Palestine!" is the new "Allahu akbar!", at least in English-speaking countries. That's what Mohamed Sabry Soliman was yelling in Boulder CO yesterday as he used a homemade flamethrower [Ed., see if you can find a "how to" video on YouTube] to torch several Jews, including children, who had gathered to call for Hamas to release the Israeli hostages.

Kind of a strange look for a fanatical follower of the Religion of Peace, but the FBI has confirmed that Mr Soliman is a 45-year-old Egyptian national whose visa, granted during the Biden administration, expired in March of this year.  

They also confirm that he used a Molotov cocktails, shown in the photos, along with a flamethrower to attack elderly demonstrators belonging to "Run For Their Lives", a grassroots organization that facilitates global run and walk events calling for the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas. 

In a departure from the usual obfuscation about the motive being unclear, the authorities now concede that the dastardly attack was "targeted". They have so far refrained, though, from pronouncing the words "Islamic" or "terrorism".  

Mr Soliman is resting comfortably in hospital, recovering from minor burns, while the usual suspects organize mostly peaceful protests about racism, police brutality and the "Israeli genocide" in Gaza.

"Allahu akbar!" at Vancouver, Canada?

 Everyone knows that mass shootings happen regularly in the Excited States of America, right? And they're always the work of deranged white supremacists, right? Oh... wait... Boulder. Yeah. Well, that's still the fault of President Trump, somehow. If you don't believe me, read the WaPo or tune in to the ladies of The View.

But I digest... Everyone knows that mass attacks on innocent civilians happen only in the US of A, right? Never in liberal, progressive countries like Canada, where diversity and inclusivity are embraced by all, from Prime Minister Blackie McBlackface on down. In Canuckistan, there is no hate, only love and peace and rainbows and unicorns and choruses of "Kumbaya" wafting on the spring breezes. 

No indeed. Something like the mass killing at Boulder could never happen in the Great No-longer-white North. Oh... wait... Seems something similar happened in North Vancouver BC yesterday. But it wasn't a mass shooting. It was a mass stabbing! So that's all right, then...

Seen in the photo being taken to hospital is the alleged perp, whose name, ethnicity, status in Canada and (above all) religion, are not likely to be released any time soon. Not that the police don't know these things, as the man, aged 22, is "known to police", with whom he has "had interactions" before. So why don't they tell us the rest? Hint: M-106.

Whoever he is went on a rampage in and outside of Lynn Valley Library, in North Vancouver, on Saturday afternoon, stabbing one woman to death and wounding six (6) others before being taken into custoday. 

Inspector Clouseau of the local constabulary said the attacker appeared to be acting alone. Why did he do it? They have no idea... nor will they have, unless he blames the systemic racism for which Canada is notorious. Walt will bring you an update if our suspicions are confirmed, but don't hold your breath!

UPDATED: "Allahu akbar!" at Boulder?

Here are the bare bones of this horrendous story. 

Yesterday in Boulder, Colorado, a gunman entered a King Sooper supermarket and shot dead ten (10) people, including one policeman. 

Boulder police had now identified the sole suspect, taken into custody after being wounded, as Ahmad Al Aliwi Al Issa, pictured at left. 

Police have not released a motive. Nor have they said anything about the suspect's nationality, ethnicity, status in the USA or religion. 

Whether or not they will divulge any of this information is uncertain. Mustn't stoke the fires of Islamophobia, you know. Meanwhile, Americans are drawing their own conclusions. 

Walt awaits comment from the Face in Front of the Curtain at the White House. Behind the curtain, the puppeteers are working feverishly to devise a way to blame this (as they have blamed last week's mass shooting of Asian "masseuses" in Atlanta) on President Trump. Stay tuned.

One further comment: A well-regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

UPDATE ADDED at 1600: Walt is watching the lamestream media spin the story to avoid giving any details that would suggest that the shooter is a follower of the prophet. 

Here are the first two paragraphs of the AP follow-up posted about an hour ago: 

"Police on Tuesday identified a 21-year-old man as the suspect who opened fire inside a crowded Colorado supermarket, and court documents showed that he purchased an assault weapon less than a week before the attack that killed 10 people, including a police officer. 

"Supermarket employees told investigators that Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa [sic] shot an elderly man multiple times Monday outside the Boulder grocery store before going inside, according to the documents. Another person was found shot in a vehicle next to a car registered to the suspect’s brother." 

CBC News, Canada's Liberal government-owned broadcaster ran the first paragraph, but skipped the second, going straight to the names of the victims! Wonder why... Might have something to do with not giving the shooter a "platform" for whatever views he might hold. (Can you say "jihad", boys and girls?) 

Then comes a piece from the Daily Caller, headlined: "Facebook Confirms It Deleted Account For Suspected Boulder Shooter Containing Posts About Islam, Trump". How about that... But the Caller says it "did not identify any content on the Facebook page that suggested a motive for the shooting Monday during a review of the account prior to its removal." So Mr Al Issa was a Muslim, OK, but not one of those nasty ones intent on killing all infidels. He was just a little mixed up, is all. 

For a more realistic portrait of the killer, you need to go to Jihadwatch, which reported this afternoon "Brother of Boulder jihad mass murderer detained, along with other family members". 

Robert Spencer writes: "...it is noteworthy that the establishment media continues to spell the killer's name 'Alissa', which of course is a common first name for women in the U.S. and thus gives the impression that he is an American non-Muslim, when the shooter himself spelled it 'Al Issa'. Are 'journalists' trying to obscure the fact that he is a Muslim migrant ISIS sympathizer? Of course they are."

To here Sleepy Joe and the Democrats [sounds like a 60's folk group. Ed.] talk about the "incident", it all proves the urgency of passing laws to take away Americans' guns. All of them. Right now. And that's all there is to it....
