California: Muslim arrested for string of random assaults, including pushing 91-year-old man to the ground

While authorities have claimed in numerous jihad cases that the motive is unclear when nothing could be clearer, in this case, the motive really is unclear. There is no indication as of yet as to why Yahya Muslim allegedly committed these assaults. In their randomness, however, they resemble the innumerable jihad attacks we have seen all over Europe, when a Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” stabs random passersby on the street. Yahya Muslim doesn’t appear to have said anything. In this case, his Islamic faith may really be incidental to his crimes, as is so often asserted in cases where it clearly played a role. However, it also cannot be honestly denied that it is possible that Yahya Muslim’s resentment toward and hatred of his victims arose, in part or wholly, from the Qur’an’s hatred of and contempt for unbelievers, “the most vile of created beings” (98:6) whom Allah will punish by the hands of the believers (9:14-15). But it is virtually certain that Oakland authorities will make no effort to determine whether or not that played a role in these attacks. That is because they have no idea that the Qur’an teaches those things, and have been inundated with propaganda about how Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance. They also know that were they to pursue such a line of inquiry, they could be charged with “Islamophobia” and their careers ruined. So do these attacks have anything to do with Islam’s doctrines of warfare against unbelievers? We will likely never know.
