Sudden Jihad Syndrome
"Sudden Jihad Syndrome" is a term Pipes coined to describe Muslims that suddenly or unexpectedly turn against civilized, Western society and engage in acts of terror.[1] Pipes has argued that due to this phenomenon all Islamists must be considered potential terrorists.[2]
Examples include:
- John Allen Muhammad and Lee Malvo, the so-called Washington snipers. John Allen Muhammad was a Muslim convert, but some people allege that his motivations may not have been religious.[3] [4]
- Ali Hassan Abu Kamal, a Palestinian school teacher who engaged in a shooting rampage on top of the Empire State Building. He killed one and wounded six before taking his own life.[5]
- Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar, an American Muslim born in Tehran who ran over students at the University of North Carolina to punish the United States. Taheri-azar was the first terrorist to be explicitly called an example of Sudden Jihad Syndrome by Daniel Pipes.[6]
- Mujtaba Rabbani Jabbar who shot up a movie theater in Baltimore.[7]
- Rashid Baz, a Lebanese can driver living in New York City who shot at a van full of Orthodox Jews.[8] In a burst of political correctness, the FBI initially refused to label this act a terrorist act.[8]
- Sulejman Talovic, a Bosnian Muslim, open fired in a Salt Lake City mall, killing five poeple before being shot dead by police.[9]
In another Example of Bias in Wikipedia, Wikipedia has refused to allow any article on this topic,[10] [11] [12] and even refused to let an editor work on a draft for a rewrite of the article.[13]
