Jihad?

There’s been a plea in re the stabbling at the Mall of America back in November:

Mahad Abdiaziz Abdiraham pleaded guilty last week to two counts of first-degree assault in connection with the Nov. 12 knife attack that injured two brothers in a dressing room at the mall’s Macy’s store.

The brothers, ages 19 and 25, suffered serious injuries from Abdiraham’s 8-inch knife.

According to KSTP-TV, Abdiraham’s attorney read a statement in court Thursday giving Abdiraham’s reasons for the stabbings.

In the statement, Abdiraham said he was motivated by a “call for jihad” and added that Americans will not be safe as long as “your country is at war with Islam.”

Time to deport all the Somali?

Well, maybe not

He has also been previously arrested for stabbing two staff members with a pen at an in-patient psychiatric unit, according to the criminal complaint in the Mall of America case.

I’m going to complain about religion here.

No, not Mr. Abdiaziz’s Islam – the guy sounds like he might not be wired to code, ifyacatchmydrift.

No, I’m talking about the religion of security theater that has made the MOA, at least officially, a Safe Zone for criminals; people in possession of enough rational faculties to think of such things know that anyone that follows the rules at the MOA is going to be unarmed and incapable of resisting someone with an, ahem, eight freaking inch knife.

Which is why if I did own any guns, and did have a carry permit, I would either never ever go to the Mall, or casually disobey the signs.  Not that I have a gun – they terrify me, and I’d never shoot anyone.

  1. Never been to the mall and wouldn’t even consider going ESPECIALLY now with all the Superbowl hoopla going on!

  2. His mugshot suggests he may have had a rather rough booking experience….poor thing.

    So tell me Minnesotans, how many terrorists does that bring y’alls tally to now?

    We sure do appreciate you keeping the bloood cost of all that sweet diversity to yourselves, gotta say.

  3. I wouldn’t go to the Mall either, except bird-watching at the indoor a wildlife sanctuary is so educational. You know, that restaurant with the owls.
