Sudden Jihad Syndrome is a term Daniel Pipes coined to describe Muslims that suddenly or unexpectedly turn against others 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]Larry Pratt of Gun Owners of America suggested that Malvo and Muhammad were examples of Sudden Jihad Syndrome.[5]
- 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.[6][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.[7][5]
- Mujtaba Rabbani Jabbar who shot up a movie theater in Baltimore.[8][5]
- Rashid Baz, a Lebanese can driver living in New York City who shot at a van full of Orthodox Jews.[9] The FBI initially did not label this act a terrorist act.[9] [5]
