The Silent Terror: Media Ignoring Islamic Radical’s Murder of Seattle Gay Men?
Posted on | August 23, 2014 | 66 Comments
Ali Muhammad Brown is a suspected Islamic terrorist accused of murdering three men in Seattle and a New Jersey teenager:
The man accused of killing a New Jersey teenager and three other men as retribution for U.S. military action in the Middle East could eventually be charged with terrorism offenses, according to a national security expert.
William C. Banks, Director of the Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism at Syracuse University, said that if the details of a confession by Ali Muhammad Brown described in court papers filed in Washington state Wednesday are accurate, he could face additional charges at either the state or federal level.
“If he’s got the motivation that he announced he has, which is to exact revenge for the U.S. killing of Muslims in that part of the world, he’s a terrorist,” Banks said. “It’s a matter of motivation.”
Brown, 29, has been in custody at the Essex County Jail in Newark since July 18 on charges related to the murder of Brendan Tevlin, a 19-year-old college student from Livingston who was shot eight times as he drove through West Orange on his way home June 25.
Authorities in Washington have also charged him with a trio of slayings, including the shooting deaths of two gay men in Seattle on June 1, and the death of another man whose body was found on a highway in an unincorporated area outside the city April 27.
Court documents detailing the charges in the April killing, made public on Wednesday, include statements from Brown indicating that he carried out the killings as “vengeance” for the loss of innocent lives killed as a result of American military operations in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and other parts of the Islamic world.
“All these lives are taken every single day by America, by this government. So a life for a life,” he said, according to the documents.
Brown was investigated for terrorism a decade ago:
Brown was part of a ring of men in South Seattle that were arrested by FBI terrorism agents in 2004 and under suspicion of funding terror groups. The feds convicted Brown and some of the other men on bank fraud charges.
“The FBI was unable to actually make a terrorism conviction,” said David Gomez — the former head of the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force in Seattle.
Agents couldn’t prove the money was being used to finance terrorist operations.
The group was led by Ruben Shumpert, who owned Crescent Cuts Barbershop, which the FBI raided in 2004.
He was the first in the ring to turn talk about fighting America into action.
Shumpert skipped out on this federal sentencing in 2006 and was later believe to have been killed fighting for the terrorist organization al-Shabab in Somalia. He was reportedly killed fighting US backed forces in Somalia.
Now, Brown is suspected of killing in the name of Jihad.
Authorities say two of Brown’s Seattle victims were homosexuals he met using a popular meet-up application for smartphones:
The bodies of two gay men, 27-year-old Ahmed Said and 23-year-old Dwone Anderson-Young were found in the early morning hours of [June 1] not far from Seattle’s Capitol Hill gayborhood. According to police, they were both executed by Brown no more than 17 minutes after they had picked him up via a social networking app near a popular gay bar in town.
Both victims were shot in the head and police say there was no evidence of a struggle, robbery, exchange of drugs or any other type of crime. Neither of the victims had a criminal history, leading police to believe the crime was motivated exclusively by hate. . . .
Though court documents don’t directly implicate Grindr as the app used by the victims in this case, a friend of Said’s is quoted telling police officers that Said was texting frequently on “an app like Grindr or Jack’d” before his murder.
When the Seattle murders were first reported, nobody seems to have realized that Brown had previously been investigated in connection with an Islamic terrorism conspiracy. If Brown’s crimes were “motivated exclusively by hate,” what kind of hate?
Noah Rothman at Hot Air suggests the national media is ignoring Brown’s murder spree precisely because it is Islamic terrorism. Certainly, if these killings had been committed by anyone who could be portrayed as “right-wing,” there would be wall-to-wall coverage on CNN and MSNBC, liberal blogs would be going crazy and President Obama would be welcoming the families of the victims at the White House. But that’s not happening, is it?
The Matthew Sheppard killing had something to teach us. There were many, many reports about that. It was the most infamous single American murder of that decade.
In this case, three gay men were murdered. Three.
Not even a blip on the national news radar screens.
You know what this reminds me of? The “Asian rape gang” phenomenon.
Schoolgirls in England, some as young as 12, were basically being “groomed,” seduced and pimped out by gangs of Islamic men. (In Britain, “Asian” is a term used to describe immigrants or the children of immigrants from Pakistan or wherever, most of whom are Muslim.) These stories made tabloid headlines, but the respectable “mainstream” media was hopelessly gagged by political correctness and the fear of being perceived as racist or “Islamophobic.” However, despite this self-imposed blackout by the respectable press, everyone in England knows what is really happening. The subhuman status assigned to women in Islamic cultures is certainly no secret, yet British feminists were suspiciously mute about the rape gangs.
There is a conspiracy of silence, you see, which includes both gay activists in America and feminists in England, to suppress the brutal truth about Islamic jihad and what it really means. Why is this? Because the gay-rights movement and the feminist movement are both part of the progressive Left, which aims to destroy Western civilization — and Islam is their ally in that regard.

Dearest, people who hold American principles champion those for everyone.
It’s called “justice” and it needs no qualifiers based on collectivist dogmas that eschew the individual in favor of the group du jour.

A niche paper with a readership of ..?
Here’s the coverage in The Advocate — a sidebar, text only, headline where the top pictures on the page are of shirtless men.

Note the way it was covered – making it political & never mentioning Islamism.
Yeah, leftists first, gays second.

Hope someone told him, then.

Really? I need to read the entire Bible to know what Christianity’s view of homosexuality is? I don’t think so, and that’s because your ilk has made that abundantly clear for the last few decades, and whether you can cop to it, or not, matches that of radical Islam.
August 25th, 2014 @ 4:17 pm
I was Islamic appeasing? NOPE. Just pointing that you guys share the same views on the gay community, and if given the opportunity would act just as physically violently towards them. That’s not to say that you don’t act violently toward them already in another capacity.
August 25th, 2014 @ 4:18 pm
You’re talking about Nazis, loser? Along with them, you share radical Islams views about homosexuals.
August 25th, 2014 @ 5:21 pm
Sorry, “dearest”, but you’re a despicable liar, and the only reason you happen to be championing American principals in this case is because the perpetrators are a group you happen to hate more. If radical Islam wasn’t attached to this story you would be back to your usual selves demonizing homosexuals, cooking up numerous conspiracies about their goals for your children, and pushing for legislation to ban gay marriage, and their ability to get wedding cakes.

This jerk-off makes my point for me that conservative, and radical islamist mentality is the same concerning homosexuals, and the so called “pious” here deny, it. You’re a dreg, Federale.
