Utah killings was Jihad, report
March 17, 2007 -- Bosnian Muslim immigrant's rampage at a Utah shopping mall, killing five Americans while shouting Allahu Akbar or Allah is Great before being gunned down by police is a "textbook study of a jihadist attack" claim authors at the independent PipeLineNews.org.
According to the report, the evening before going on a killing spree, the shooter, Bosnian Muslim Sulejman Talovic, told his girlfriend that
"Something is going to happen tomorrow that you'll never be able to forgive me about" and that the event will be "the happiest day of his life and that it could only happen once in a lifetime."
Islam considers dying in service of Allah as the highest form of Islamic spiritual sacrifice and such martyrdom is a "happy moment" because it will be greatly rewarded by Islamic God called Allah.
"Talovic's expression to his girlfriend that his killing spree would be the happiest day of his life is consistent with an understanding of the central function of jihad in Islam,"
write Beila Rabinowitz and William A. Mayer.
"Contrary to claims made by Talovic's family, his girlfriend stated that he had a contact at the local mosque, which is located immediately adjacent to the scene of Sulejman's carnage," write Rabinowitz and Mayer.
During the shooting spree terrified shoppers and store employees hid in kitchens, cramped closets, stairwells, storage rooms and freezers as Talovic walked through the mall, firing at them and was shouting that that Islamic God, Allah, is great as getting gunned down.
"I am amazed that the media is so obsessed with portraying Talovic as some dreamy, visionary Muslim kid and no one pays attention to the dead he left behind," says Olivia Hill, an American from Texas.
"Salt Lake Tribune talks about his favorite color, favorite food, how he loved outdoors, fishing... and not a word on the dead and the pain these families are suffering and frankly, I am offended by this glorification of a killer... is it because he is a Muslim?" asks Hill.
According to the Salt Lake Tribune, Talovic's father Suljo still has no clue as to the motive for his son's shooting.
"Sulejman's father's continued insistence that someone put his son up to the killings seem to be an effort to shield the Al Noor Masjid [mosque] from law enforcement scrutiny," write Rabinowitz and Mayer.
"The reason for this obfuscation seems clear at this point, the shootings at the Trolley Square Mall were the result of Muslim terrorism, a premeditated act of jihad by Sulejman Talovic," conclude Rabinowitz and Mayer.
