Shortly before he opened fire at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida, Second Lieutenant Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani (a Saudi Air Force officer) tweeted a message to the American people. In his tweet, he quoted both Osama bin Laden and Sheikh Anwar al-Awlaki (of al-Qaeda fame). Since the al-Awlaki quotes were taken directly from al-Awlaki's "Message to the American People," Alshamrani clearly read about Major Nidal Malik Hasan's attack at Fort Hood. Hence, we have a connection between the Pensacola terror attack and the Fort Hood Massacre. The officer from Saudi Arabia was inspired to attack a navy base by al-Qaeda jihadis and a prior attack on a U.S. military base. Oddly enough, he was invited to the U.S. to learn to fly jets provided to Saudi leaders by the Trump Administration. David Wood (Acts 17 Apologetics) discusses this most important topic in US news.
00:00
Yesterday, a Saudi Air Force officer opened fire in a classroom at Naval Air Station Pensacola,
00:06
where he was training to fly all the fighter jets that President Trump sold to Saudi Arabia.
00:12
You remember Saudi Arabia, don’t you?
00:15
The nation that fifteen out of the nineteen 9-11 hijackers were from?
00:20
The nation that throws bloggers like Raif Badawi in prison and brutally murders journalists
00:25
like Jamal Khashoggi?
00:27
The nation where confessions are extracted through torture?
00:31
The nation where crowds gather to watch public beheadings?
00:35
The nation where African and Asian women are trafficked and sold as sex-slaves?
00:40
In short, the birthplace of Muhammad?
00:44
Yeah, so an air force officer from that big old slice of Sharia pie was being trained
00:50
by the U.S. Military to fly the U.S. fighter jets that the U.S. Government
00:54
sold to America’s new BFF in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia.
01:00
Shortly before killing three and injuring several more in his attack, Second Lieutenant
01:05
Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani tweeted a message to the American people.
01:10
Alshamrani’s Twitter account has since been deleted, just as my YouTube account will eventually
01:16
be deleted for daring to comment on these topics, but fortunately for us,
01:22
the tweet was archived.
01:25
O American people,
01:27
I’m not against you for just being American.
01:30
I don’t hate you because your freedoms.
01:34
I hate you because every day you supporting, funding, and committing crimes not only against
01:40
Muslims but also humanity.
01:43
I’m against evil, and America as a whole has turned into a nation of evil.
01:49
What I see from America is the supporting of Israel which is invasion of Muslim countrie.
01:56
I see invasion of many countries by its troops.
02:00
I see Guantanamo Bay.
02:01
I see cruise missiles, cluster bombs and UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles).
02:08
So that’s Alshamrani’s justification for his killing spree.
02:12
Notice these additional remarks on the side.
02:16
Unfortunately, we can’t click on them to expand them, because this is an archived picture
02:20
of his twitter page.
02:22
But we can see that there are two sets of quotations.
02:26
This part down here—“the security is shared destiny”—is from Osama bin Laden.
02:32
Up here we have:
02:33
What benefit is it to the American people to suffer for the sake of supporting Israel?
02:39
Do you expect to transgress against others and yet be spared retribution?
02:44
How many more body-bags are American families willing to receive?
02:49
For how long can the US survive this war of attrition?
02:53
These are direct quotes from Sheikh Anwar al-Awlaki’s “Message to the American People.”
03:00
Here again we have:
03:01
For how long can the US survive this war of attrition?
03:05
What benefit is it to the American people to suffer for the sake of supporting Israel?
03:11
Do you expect to transgress against others and yet be spared retribution?
03:16
How many more body-bags are American families willing to receive?
03:21
A little later we read:
03:23
We are not against Americans for just being American.
03:26
We are against evil, and America as a whole has turned into a nation of evil,”
03:32
which is exactly what Alshamrani said in his message to Americans.
03:37
But notice what we have next.
03:40
I for one, was born in the US, I lived in the US for twenty-one years.
03:45
America was my home.
03:47
I was a preacher of Islam, involved in non-violent Islamic activism.
03:52
However, with the American invasion of Iraq, and continued US aggression against Muslims,
03:58
I could not reconcile between living in the US and being a Muslim, and I eventually came
04:04
to the conclusion that Jihad against America is binding upon myself, just as it is binding
04:10
on every other able Muslim.
04:13
Nidal Hassan was not recruited by Al-Qaida.
04:17
Nidal Hassan was recruited by American crimes, and this is what America refuses to admit.
04:23
America refuses to admit that its foreign policies are the reason behind a man like
04:29
Nidal Hassan, born and raised in the US, turning his guns against American soldiers.
04:35
And the more crimes that America commits, the more Mujahideen will be recruited to fight
04:41
against it.
04:42
Who was Nidal Hasan?
04:44
Major Nidal Malik Hasan was the American Army officer who opened fire at Fort Hood
04:50
Military Base in 2009, killing thirteen people and injuring dozens more.
04:57
Now let’s put all of this together.
05:00
In the 1980s, Osama bin Laden and his fellow jihadis in Afghanistan were funded by
05:06
the United States.
05:08
Bin Laden eventually used his popularity to form Al-Qaeda.
05:13
Sheikh Anwar al-Awlaki was born in New Mexico.
05:17
He was President of the Muslim Student Association at Colorado State University,
05:22
where he earned a degree in Civil Engineering.
05:25
He was the imam of the Denver Islamic Society.
05:28
He was the imam of a mosque in San Diego.
05:31
He was the Muslim chaplain at George Washington University.
05:35
He was the imam at the Dar al-Hijrah Mosque in Virginia.
05:40
And he joined al-Qaeda and became its greatest recruiter.
05:45
Al-Awlaki influenced Major Nidal Malik Hasan, who, again, opened fire at Fort Hood.
05:53
Al-Awlaki then wrote his “Message to the American People,” where he cited Nidal Malik
05:58
Hasan as an example of what a devout Muslim should do if given the opportunity.
06:05
Second Lieutenant Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani of the Saudi Airforce read al-Awlaki’s “Message
06:11
to the American People” and the story of Nidal Malik Hasan.
06:15
Then he was invited to the United States of America to be trained by the U.S. Military
06:21
to fly the U.S. jets that were sold to Saudi Arabia.
06:26
He saw an opportunity and, like Nidal Malik Hasan, opened fire at a military base.
06:33
The only bright side here is that, if Second Lieutenant Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani had been
06:38
just a little smarter, he might have decided to get creative with one of the jets he was
06:44
learning to fly.
06:45
So, we dodged a bullet on that one.
06:49
Two questions I’d like you to answer in the comments section.
06:53
First, there are peaceful Muslims and there are violent Muslims.
06:58
Can you think of any way to spot the difference between the two before one of the violent
07:03
Muslims goes on at killing spree?
07:07
Second, Osama bin Laden, Anwar al-Awlaki, Nidal Malik Hassan, Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani.
07:16
Do you think our leaders have learned anything about the ideology we’re dealing with,
07:21
or are they absolutely impervious to facts, evidence, and reality?
07:27
Let me know what you think.
07:28
And if you don’t understand jihad yet, be sure to watch my videos
07:33
“The Three Stages of Jihad” and “The Jihad Triangle.”
07:37
The only way out of this mess is an informed population of free people.
07:43
So get informed, inform others, and stay free.
