Revision as of 21:25, January 18, 2008
Sudden Jihad Syndrome is a term coined by neoconservative academic Daniel Pipes 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 Muslims must be considered potential terrorists.[2]. The term has been used by others including a columnist in the Washington Times.[3]
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.[4] [5]Larry Pratt of Gun Owners of America suggested that Malvo and Muhammad were examples of Sudden Jihad Syndrome.[6]
- 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.[7][6]
- 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.[8][6]
- Mujtaba Rabbani Jabbar who shot up a movie theater in Baltimore.[9][6]
- Rashid Baz, a Lebanese can driver living in New York City who shot at a van full of Orthodox Jews.[10] In a burst of political correctness, the FBI initially refused to label this act a terrorist act.[10] [6]
- Sulejman Talovic, a Bosnian Muslim, open fired in a Salt Lake City mall, killing five poeple before being shot dead by police.[11][6]
In another Example of Bias in Wikipedia, Wikipedia has refused to allow any article on this topic,[12] [13] [14] and even refused to let an editor work on a draft for a rewrite of the article. [15]
