New attempts to transfer jihadists from Iraq and Syria to Russia
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Secretary of the Russian Security Council, Nikolai Patrushev, said on Friday that terrorist organizations have not stopped trying to transfer trained and highly experienced holy warriors from Syria and Iraq to Russia.He said, "unfortunately, the threat of terrorism still exists," and is the result of the activity of international terrorist organizations and the work of conspiratorial "sleeper cells" in Russia that raise funds for their activities.

He pointed to the effective use of the Internet by holy warriors in recruitment operations as well as in their various activities.

The Secretary of the Russian Security Council said, "just last year, Dabur was cut off from publishing propaganda materials of a terrorist nature on 135,000 Internet pages. This is almost twice more than in 2018."

Patrushev referred to the data of the Prosecutor’s Office, which stated that the country witnessed an increase in the number of crimes related to recruitment, financing and propaganda of terrorism last year, noting that "the largest increase in this crime was recorded in the Federal Urals."

The Secretary of the Security Council said: "Thanks to the strenuous work of intelligence and law enforcement agencies in the territory of this region, 5 terrorist acts were thwarted in 2019, the activities of 6 terrorist cells were stopped, and more than 50 people arrested in connection with terrorism were identified, as 5 were identified Islamic groups from the Salafi trend. "

He revealed that last week, a terrorist attack prepared by local holy warriors members of the international terrorist organization "The Caucasus Emirate" in the Surgut region in the independent Khanty-Mansiysk region was foiled.

Tennessee: Muslim Stabs Three Women to Death at Truck Stop, Motive Unclear
Update of this story from Thursday. As strongly suspected, it was Sudden Jihad Syndrome.
[PJMedia] Idris Abdus-Salaam, 33, a truck driver from Durham, North Carolina, on Tuesday pulled into the Pilot Travel Center on Strawberry Plains Pike in Knoxville, Tennessee, got out of his truck, pulled out a knife, and went on a stabbing spree. He stabbed three women to death and injured a fourth. When confronted by police, Abdus-Salaam refused to drop his weapon and was rubbed out. According to Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) spokeswoman Leslie Earhart, authorities are still trying to determine his motive. But will they miss an obvious clue that is right in front of their faces?

The three women Abdus-Salaam killed were all employees of the Pilot Travel Center. The fourth victim, who is in the hospital fighting to recover from the wounds Abdus-Salaam gave her, was a customer. If Abdus-Salaam knew any of them personally, the fact has not been reported. It may emerge that he did, but as of this writing, this looks like a random act of violence.

Predictably, Sherlocks are pursuing the possibility that Abdus-Salaam was mentally ill. In this, they are following the lead of numerous authorities in the U.S. and Europe, who have ascribed incidents in which Moslems behaved violently to mental illness, often ignoring their jihad statements in order to do so. According to news reports, Sherlocks found a notebook in his truck containing writings that suggested he was mentally ill, but none of these writings were released.

Abdus-Salaam may indeed have been mentally ill. However,
it's easy to be generous with someone else's money...
if he was, his mother, Walidah Abdus-Salaam, was unaware of the fact — that is, if she is being honest. "He’s not a violent person," she insisted. "The picture they painted is ugly." She didn’t even believe her Idris was the one who went on the stabbing spree: "That is not my son. I don’t believe it, and I refuse to believe it until they can prove otherwise to me." She said that there was no indication that Idris was suffering from any form of mental illness, "unless it developed recently and I’m not aware of it."

However,
it's easy to be generous with someone else's money...
the Knoxville News Sentinel reported that Walidah Abdus-Salaam said that her son was "a practicing Moslem," although "his loved ones had no reason to believe he had become radicalized by any sort of religious fanaticism."

#3  Black immogrant muslim murders 3 white women and almost kills a 4th. But according to super educated authorities, no islamic jihad, no racism, no anti-Americanism, no sexual hangups. Only mental illness (by definition, isn't it so obvious?).

#4  "Motive unclear," my fat @ss. Anyone with one functioning brain cell know his motive (and it ain't skin color).

Murdering loser. Look forward to burning for eternity in HELL. >:-(
