Here yet again authorities are not asking and will not ask what may be the most important questions: where did Muhammed Momtaz Al-Azhari learn his understanding of Islam? What mosque did he attend in the Tampa area? Has that mosque been investigated? Why not? What if it is teaching jihad? Does anyone care about such a possibility?
“Tampa Man Faces Terrorism Charges In Honeymoon Island Plot, Authorities Say,” by Julio Ochoa, WUSF News, May 27, 2020 (thanks to the Geller Report):
A 23-year-old Tampa Man has been charged with attempting to support ISIS by carrying out terrorists attacks in Florida, including one at Honeymoon Island, according to authorities.
Muhammed Momtaz Al-Azhari was arrested on Sunday following an investigation by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, which included police departments in Tampa, Clearwater and St. Petersburg and sheriff’s offices in Pinellas, Pasco and Hillsborough counties. If convicted, Al-Azhari faces up to 20 years in prison.
In a release, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said Al-Azhari expressed his admiration for Pulse nightclub shooter Omar Mateen and talked about his desire to conduct a similar mass shooting.
Al-Azhari researched and scouted out several potential targets in the Tampa Bay area, including Honeymoon Island, authorities said. He went as far as rehearsing the attacks, including what he would say during them, they said.
“We are grateful for the hard work and swift action by our law enforcement partners and concerned citizens during this investigation,” said U.S. Attorney Maria Chapa Lopez for the Middle District of Florida. “Their coordination and cooperation in this matter allowed us to interrupt a serious threat, without harm to anyone.”
Al-Azhari has a criminal history with terrorism charges in Saudi Arabia.
During the investigation, he tried to buy multiple firearms and eventually acquired a Glock pistol with a silencer, authorities said….

Florida: Muslim researched targets for jihad massacre, including at Honeymoon Island
……………
Bloody thug. Jihad against newlyweds, families, and nature hikers.
God, I hate Islam.
Just glad he was caught in time.

Indeed. There would have been no riots over that, any more than there were for Justine Damond whose life did not “matter” compared to the sensitivities of her Muslim killer. Just a lot of hand-wringing about protecting the “Muslim comminity” from “Islamophobia”.

Honeymoon Island, huh?

As long as there is no damage to another Florida resort,

Islamorada is the site of Islam-O-Rama, the theme park for Muslim family vacations (no Shia, please).
This future theme part is sort of an Islamic version of Ark Encounter (Muslims welcome, even Shia):

Ma–with all respect–you are completely mistaken.
Islamorada has *nothing* to do with Islam–this is not “Islam-o-rada”–it is “Isla Morada”, or “Home Island”. This word is Spanish, not Arabic.
There is no “Islam-O-Rama” there or anywhere else. In fact, such a name would likely be considered “un-Islamic”.
The closest thing is the old amusement park Grand Prix Race O Rama that was in Hollywood, Florida.

When jihadists attack RESORTS and HOTELS, they are conducting LIFESTYLE JIHAD against our way of life.
See the face of Muhammed Momtaz Al-Azhari … you see the face of ISIS.
They want the world to resemble Soddy Barbaria … dull, censored and restricted in every way.
Islam means ‘submission’ and no one is as submitted as a slave.
They want us to be slaves.

The best way to fight islam is to share the truth about islam. Share this site with every1 you know.

That doe mean they won’t attack, blow themselves up or cause terror wherever they can. Is-lame needs to be outlawed and it’s adherents exported.
OLD GUY says
Wow this guy could have killed a lot of people but there would not be demonstrations nation wide about muslims kill innocent people. It’s too bad that one dumb ass police officer did something to some person and because of that these idiots are destroying private citizens property and public buildings paid for by tax payers. The anarchist are trying like hell to destroy this country and take advantage of any situation to create hate and destruction.
