Jihad in the Old Dominion (Again)
23rd August 2016
There was an aborted jihad attack not far from us here in Virginia over the weekend, but I didn’t encounter any news of it until just now.
When I saw the headline this morning about a “possible ISIS-inspired terror attack in Virginia”, I assumed that the incident must have occurred in Northern Virginia, a.k.a. The Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy. The southern suburbs of Washington D.C. are now a vast cesspit of cultural enrichment, much of it Islamic. Fairfax County — abode Anwar of al-Awlaki and numerous other jihad celebrities — is a particular hotbed of Koranic ferment.
But last Saturday’s attack was in Roanoke, a fair-sized regional city located at the upper end of the Valley of Virginia at a large gap in the Blue Ridge Mountains. More specifically, the incident occurred in Roanoke County, near Cave Spring in the suburbs west of the city. A 20-year-old culture-enricher named Wasil Farooqui attacked a man and a woman with a large knife while yelling “Allahu Akhbar”. The perp reportedly tried to behead the man, but the victim managed to fight off the mujahid, despite his own severe wounds.
When I saw the mug shot of Wasil Farooqui, he didn’t look that young, so I wondered if he had perhaps been an “unaccompanied minor” who knocked a few years off his age in order to be implanted in Roanoke by the Refugee Resettlement Program. But no; according to The Daily Mail, Mr. Farooqui was born in the USA. He’s as American as apple pie and female genital mutilation.
