Half-Step Forward: FBI Now Investigating San Bernardino Slaughter As “Act Of Terrorism”

It’s one of those “duh” moments where nearly everyone watching the press conference wonders what took them so long to actually identify this premeditated, multi-shooter, mass killing by ammo-storing, bomb-building, erase-your-footsteps, pro-ISIS Muslim couple an “act of terrorism.” Now let’s see if the FBI is willing to call a spade a spade and more accurately describe it as “an act of Islamic terrorism.” Just don’t hold your breath, otherwise you may become another casualty of this attack …

Qur’an Sura 3:151, “… cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers …”

By Tracy Bloom, KTLA 5 – “A mass shooting at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino that left 14 dead and 21 others injured was being investigated as an act of terrorism, the FBI announced Friday.

‘As of today, based on the information and the facts as we know them, we are now investigating these horrific acts as an act of terrorism,’ Dave Bowdich of the FBI said at a Friday morning news conference.

Bowdich added that federal investigators have uncovered evidence that pointed to extensive planning ahead of the deadly attack.

The declaration came two days after Syed Farook, 28, and Tashfeen Malik, 28, stormed into the center, spraying a room full of holiday partygoers with bullets.

Fourteen victims were killed in the attack and 21 were injured.

Farook and Malik, who were married, were killed in a police shootout later that day.” Read more.

The marathon bombers operated in plain sight of the FBI before killing three and wounding 260.” Read more.

Report: At Least One San Bernardino Killer Pledged Allegiance To ISIS

And if one did, then you can be almost certain that the other like-minded live-together, eat-together, pray-together, slay-together jihadist did so as well …

Hadith, Muslim 1844, 1851, “Whoever gives his oath of allegiance to a leader and gives him his hand and his heart, let him obey him as much as he can … Whoever dies and did not make an oath of allegiance (to the Muslim leader) has died a death of jaahiliyyah [like an ignorant non-Muslim in pre-Islamic times]” – The “Prophet” Mohammed

CNN – “Investigators think that as the San Bernardino, California, attack was happening, female shooter Tashfeen Malik posted a pledge of allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi on Facebook, three U.S. officials familiar with the investigation told CNN.

Malik’s post was made on an account with a different name, one U.S. official said. The officials did not explain how they knew Malik made the post.

A law enforcement official said it appeared that Wednesday’s attack — which left 14 people dead and 21 wounded before the two attackers, Malik and her husband, Syed Rizwan Farook, were killed in a shootout with police — may have been inspired by ISIS. But none of the officials said that ISIS directed or ordered the attack.

‘This is looking more and more like self-radicalization,’ a law enforcement official said.

Another official said authorities haven’t ruled out that others may have influenced this radical view…

Farook and Malik ‘kept to themselves,’ Abuershaid said. But the interactions they did have didn’t hint at any significant changes in their thinking or demeanor, any turn to Islamist extremism, or any sign they were plotting a mass killing, the lawyer said.

‘There was nothing to show that (Malik) was extreme at all,’ Abuershaid said. ‘(And Farook) was a normal guy, in every sense of the word.'” Read more.

Things That Make You Go Boom: SB Killer Spent Free Time Memorizing Qur’an, Attending Mosque

Garbage in, garbage out. The age-old adage is often true, especially on a spiritual level. While there are now reports attempting to suggest that Syed Farook’s wife may have been responsible for “radicalizing” him, let’s not obfuscate the bottom line of this one fundamental truth: Syed Farook wasn’t a “radical husband.” He was a “radical Muslim.” It was not his partner that convinced him to kill. It was his “prophet” …

Qur’an Sura 33:21, “Indeed in Allah’s Messenger (Mohammad) you have an excellent example to follow for him who hopes in (meeting with) Allah and the Last Day …”

By Chuck Ross, The Daily Caller – “Syed Rizwan Farook was heavily involved in his local mosque and focused his energies on memorizing the Quran, he wrote in a short-lived dating profile in 2013.

‘I spend much of my free time in the masjid,’ Farook, then 28, wrote on his profile for the dating site, BestMuslim.com. He also enjoyed ‘memorizing the quran and learning more about the religion,’ he added.

Farook and his wife, 27-year-old Tashfeen Hakim, killed 14 people at a holiday party being held for county workers at Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, Cal. on Wednesday. Farook worked as a health inspector for the county and had been at the party before he and Hakim began their attack.

The couple was killed during a shootout with police later on Wednesday. They had four guns, investigators have said. And though authorities have not officially classified the attack as terrorism, more evidence is pointing in that direction.

Farook reportedly had contact with known terrorists in the Middle East. He has also traveled to the Middle East and to Pakistan multiple times. It has also been reported that Farook viewed ISIS propaganda online. Investigators found a heavy arsenal of guns, ammunition and pipe bombs at their house in Redlands, Cal.

In describing his ideal mate on his dating profile, Farook said that he was ‘looking for a practicing muslimah,’ a reference to a follower of Islam.” Read more.

Premeditated: San Bernardino Killers Erased Digital Presence Day Before The Attacks – “The Muslim husband and wife behind the mass shooting in San Bernardino began erasing their digital footprint a day in advance of the deadly attack, deleting email accounts, disposing of hard drives and smashing their cellphones, according to law enforcement investigators who are treating the probe as a counterterrorism case. Investigators edged closer Thursday to the conclusion that Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, were radicalized by Islamist extremists either in the U.S. or during trips to the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia… fresh details continued to emerge about the background of the two — supporting the notion that the attack was planned and not a spur-of-the-moment response to a party snub or quarrel.” Read more.
