Motives of Glasgow "Suspect" [Dan Collins]

Haven’t any time this morning, as Mary’s desperate to get us out of the house so she can get some work done, but the article in today’s WaPo gives us a clearer picture of the motives of this “jihadi wannabe.”

Bilal Abdulla, one of the two doctors arrested after a blazing Jeep Cherokee rammed into the Glasgow Airport terminal on Saturday, is a deeply religious Iraqi who was angry that his prominent Sunni family “lost everything” following the 2003 invasion led by the United States and Britain, according to a close family member.

“He was hurt by the destruction of his family’s property in Iraq,” the relative said during a 2 1/2 -hour interview in Cambridge, England. “I think he wanted to be a martyr. He wanted to send out a message to withdraw troops from Iraq. He wanted to cause chaos and fear; he didn’t want to kill people. He fears God, and all he wanted to do was die.”

*****

The relative said Abdulla was the oldest son of an “important Sunni family” that thrived during the rule of Saddam Hussein, also a Sunni, although Abdulla didn’t like Hussein. “Whatever his family wanted, they got,” the relative said. Abdulla’s mother is a pharmacist, and he has a brother who is a doctor and a sister who is a pharmacist.

*****

He followed news from Iraq “intensely over the Internet,” said the relative. Back home, sectarian violence mounted and his family’s problems continued to compound. Late last year, they moved to Jordan “because Baghdad was dangerous and they were scared they might be killed,” the relative said.

He said he didn’t know what or who might have influenced Abdulla. However, concerning al-Qaeda, “he liked what they were doing in Iraq.”

So, in his piety, he wished for the halcyon days of Sunni domination under Saddam’s reign, or barring that, a return to less secular days of a fabled time 7 centuries earlier.

  1. So much for the theory that terrorism is fueled by poverty … unless its the poverty of former oppressors like this one.

  2. showmethemoney says:

    So … not so much about the Ummah or restoring the caliphate. Rather, more about the money and power … right?

    This guy epotimizes everything you need to know about Jihad. It’s not about God. It’s about power, money, and greed.

  3. CraigC says:

    Hey, Dan, how do I get into Jeff’s account at WordPress so i can post?

  4. TheGeezer says:

    Not for the glory of Allah, but to try to affect a government’s foreign policy, and that, apparently, as a way to protest against his family’s loss of material luxuries from a regime with rape rooms that comitted mass atrocities and funded international terrorism to kill (especially) Jews.

    he didn’t want to kill people

    A bit late for that regret, trying to promote Baathist government-by-terror to ensure his family’s comfort.

  5. Pablo says:

    Motivation? Here’s a clue.

    LONDON (AP) – An Iraqi doctor who used to berate others at the University of Cambridge for not being devout enough Muslims is the first to be charged in connection with the failed car bombings in London and Glasgow.

    Bilal Abdullah, arrested at Glasgow airport after the Jeep Cherokee he was riding in rammed into a terminal building, was charged Friday with conspiring to cause explosions, Scotland Yard said.

  6. I once read that a sign of genius is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in your mind at the same time.

    I’m beginning to think it’s actually a sign of utter incoherence.

  7. Bill says:

    I just finished a Psychology Today article that said Muslim trend toward suicide bombing because they can’t get laid. The society’s preference for multiple wives reduces the chance that more men will get married, and sexual frustration (plus the promise of 72 virgins) encourages them to strap on a belt for Allah.

    I know there’s a punchline here, but I can’t find one.

  8. happyfeet says:

    wouldn’t that sort of suggest the possibility that a good percentage of these guys were molested growing up?

  9. Dan Collins says:

    Email me, Craig, and I’ll send directions to you.

  10. Big Bang Hunter says:

    – Sccording to news accounts today, one of the two doctors invovled in the attacks, and reportedly the one who actually constructed the flawed gas-bomb armed vehicals, called his family just before the ensueing adventure, and told them he was preparing a demonstration of “Global warming”. (Insert your own punch line here). Later, just before he and another Jahidist followed up with the airport attack using a gas loaded Jeep “prop” for his presentation, he called them back and said his demonstration had failed, and that he might not survive the repercusions (due to a lack of percussions I would guess) and they should pray for him.

    – After he and his cohort were unable to achieve blast during the jeep portion of the program, he set hinself on fire “…In order that I might preserve the honor of the family through an act of martyrdom….” unquote.

    – If this is an example of the thinking of the typical Iraqui Sunni, we’re going to be at it in that country for a long long time.

    – The gooderer news is that, although she’s found jesus, and is richer for her prison experience, Paris Hilton is still a skank.

  11. JHoward says:

    They’re simply mad:

    “He was hurt by the destruction of his family’s property in Iraq,”

    Surely the Glasgow airport and inhabitants were all culpable.

    “I think he wanted to be a martyr.”

    Suicide by propane counts as martyrdom? Got a dictionary handy?

    “He wanted to send out a message to withdraw troops from Iraq.”

    The US has no history of bowing to extortion.

    “He wanted to cause chaos and fear; he didn’t want to kill people.”

    Then why the car bomb? An abstract hatred of plate glass?

    “He fears God, and all he wanted to do was die.”

    Because God wants everybody dead even though Abdul here didn’t. By Jeep-bombs. In the most densely populated, public space in the area. Among the Iraqi’s most hated enemy, the Scots.

    Five strikes, you’re out. None of which the nearest Truther won’t disagree with or will prevent the WaPo from printing, but still…

  12. shine says:

    “This guy epotimizes everything you need to know about Jihad. It’s not about God. It’s about power, money, and greed.”

    Its certainly not about Iraq.

  13. BJTexs says:

    “Its certainly not about Iraq.”

    Care to expand on that, shine? Especially since the guy said in his statement that it most certainly was about Iraq?

  14. Lurking Observer says:

    Aw, c’mon, BJTexs. You know that the author’s intent is meaningless, it’s all about the reader.

    So, for shine, a statement that it’s about Iraq easily transmogrifies into having nothing to do with Iraq.

    Or, I’m sure, about Islam.

    But, what the doctor meant to say was that he opposed George Dubya Bush for hating brown people. Yeah, THAT’s the ticket!

  15. Shine, damn reality full speed ahead!

  16. cjd says:

    Is shine Alphie in drag?

  17. BJTexs says:

    I await the sainted, bright light day when shine stops dropping alphie/monkeyboy like questions and makes something resembling a fully voiced response.

    I am the patron saint of lost causes, however…

  18. TODD says:

    Burning Jihadis are bad for your health, whatever the motive….

  19. shine says:

    “Care to expand on that, shine? Especially since the guy said in his statement that it most certainly was about Iraq?”

    But. But. Jeff Told me those were ‘ideological fantasies.’

  20. Pablo says:

    Smart money says shine is actus. Note the reliance on oblique non sequitur to distract from a point while ostensibly appearing to make one. Typical telephone pole.

  21. Pablo says:

    But. But. Jeff Told me those were ‘ideological fantasies.’

    Yes, suicide bombers tend to have those.

  22. BJTexs says:

    All right now you’re just being a willful idiot.

    Of course the idealogical fantasies refered to the ongoing drumbeat from left that radical islam is propelled by poor, disadvantaged, uneducated robots who just need a hug and a handout. It most certainly did not refer to those individuals having medical degrees or education degrees or those from wealthy, aristocratic families.

    Care to try again or are you content to bath in the fetid waters of your dissembling?

  23. Lurking Observer says:

    Wow, so Jeff points out that it is “ideological fantasies” of the Left that claim that terrorists are the product of poverty, and shine uses this to show that one of the doctors claiming he tried to blow up an airport is fantasizing when he says he did it because of Iraq?!?

    I was being sarcastic when I said that the author’s intent is meaningless. Little did I realize that shine actually thinks this way.

    I don’t know if shine is alphie or actus. I would say that he’s too moronic to live, and certainly too idiotic to reply to.

  24. ushie says:

    shine, did your English teacher used to cry because you would read a book and not get the plot, theme, or characters right? Every time you handed in a paper?

    Good God, were you one of my very few insuperably stupid-as-a-concrete-block students? You owe me several apologies for making me cry.

  25. CraigC says:

    Well, you know Dan, I would if I had your FUCKING E-MAIL ADDRESS.

  26. warlocke says:

    Hey, guys, lay off shine. He’s incoherent, not stupid.

    Jihadism isn’t about Iraq; rather the reverse, in fact. This particular act of it may be.

    Regards,
    Ric
