San Bernardino terrorist Syed Farook's friend charged for plotting attacks

Another moderate Muslim who got religion...

Via Daily Mail:

A friend of San Bernardino terrorist Syed Farook, who purchased two assault-style rifles used in the deadly shooting, has been charged with conspiring with the gunman to carry out further horrific attacks in California.
Enrique Marquez is accused of plotting to using pipe bombs and explosives on a Los Angeles highway and Riverside Community College in 2011 in a bid to create mass casualties.
The 24-year-old punk rock fan, who converted to Islam in 2007, is also believed to have been paid $200 a month to be in a sham marriage with the sister of the wife of Farook’s brother, Mariya Chernykh, so they could get immigration benefits.
The former security guard, who told the FBI he was radicalized by hate preacher Anwar al-Aulaqi, is suspected of handing over fraudulent documents to the Department of Homeland Security, stating he lived with the sham wife after they tied the knot in 2014.

Authorities find GoPro packaging in the back seat of Syed Farook's mother's car...

After initial reports the terrorist couple wore GoPro cameras during the attack, authorities have said they could find any evidence this was true. Now, there seems to be evidence. Look for the video to appear on some Jihad website soon. 

Via The Blaze:

Rafia Farook reportedly lived in the same Redlands, California, home where Syed Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, stockpiled thousands of rounds of ammo and housed what has been referred to as an “IED factory” for building pipe bombs.
The discovery of empty GoPro packaging is particularly intriguing as rumors surfaced shortly after the shooting that the killers used GoPro cameras to capture the carnage. Police in San Bernardino said they have found no evidence to support the claim.
The Daily Mail cited an inventory sheet filled out by federal authorities following the search of the black Lexus IS300:
“Apple iPhone, multi-tool, key, business card, miscellaneous indicia, bank receipt, shooting targets, hammer, vice grips, U-Haul receipt, tire receipt, notebook, garment, GoPro packaging, vacuumings, legal documents.”
Rafia Farook was detained and questioned by police following the San Bernardino massacre that left 14 people dead, but was ultimately released with no charges filed.

Female shooter Tashfeen Malik posted a pledge of allegiance to ISIS leader during attack

I am wearing my shocked face...not. I wonder if Obama still thinks there is no credible threat of attack here...

(CNN)Investigators think that as the San Bernardino, California, attack was happening, female shooter Tashfeen Malik posted a pledge of allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi on Facebook, three U.S. officials familiar with the investigation told CNN.
Malik's post was made on an account with a different name, one U.S. official said. The officials did not explain how they knew Malik made the post.
A law enforcement official said it appeared that Wednesday's attack -- which left 14 people dead and 21 wounded before the two attackers, Malik and her husband, Syed Rizwan Farook, were killed in a shootout with police -- may have been inspired by ISIS. But none of the officials said that ISIS directed or ordered the attack.

Religion of Peace Update: Syed Rizwan Farook had memorized the entire Koran...

Barack Obama is still searching for a clue as to what motivated Farook and his new Pakistani wife.

Recently, Farook had worshipped at a San Bernardino mosque, Dar-Al-Uloom Al-Islamiyah of America. Farook was “a very nice person, very soft,” said Ali, a mosque regular. He said Farook had memorized the Koran, a rare accomplishment for even devout Muslims.
According to law enforcement, Farook traveled to Saudi Arabia in 2013 during the hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca that all Muslims who are able should perform at least once in their lives.
Another congregant saw Farook at the mosque a few weeks ago. Gasser Shehata said Farook had hurt not just his victims, but his own child.
“She will grow up knowing what her parents did,” Shehata said.
Farook was born in Chicago, the son of Pakistani immigrants. The family subsequently moved to Riverside, where his father worked as a truck driver and his mother as a clerk at Kaiser Permanente.
He and his siblings attended public schools. Yearbooks from La Sierra High School in Riverside show a smiling Farook during his sophomore and junior years. He was a member of the school’s Muslim club.

San Bernardino gunman Syed Farook was pushed over the edge by a Jewish co-worker who claimed Islam is not a "Religion of Peace?"

Oh, the bloody irony.

The radicalized San Bernardino gunman clashed with a Jewish co-worker over religion just two weeks before he and his Pakistani wife stormed an office holiday party where they massacred 14 people.

Syed Farook, 28, got into a heated argument with colleague Nicholas Thalasinos, a Messianic Jew who was identified today as one of the victims of Wednesday’s rampage.[snip]

Kuuleme Stephens said she had happened to call Thalasinos while he was at work and having a discussion with Farook.

Thalasinos identified Farook by name and told her the 28-year-old believed Islam was a peaceful religion. She added that Farook said that Americans do not understand Islam.

Stephens said both men worked as county restaurant inspectors and regularly discussed politics and religion.

Thalasinos was passionate about pro-Israel causes and was known to rant about Islam on Facebook.

San Bernardino attack was radical Islamic Terrorism...

Syed Rizwan Farook was in touch with radical Islamic terrorists according to this CNN report. Barack Obama is still struggling to figure out why two Muslims would shoot up a Christmas party. 

San Bernardino, California (CNN)Syed Rizwan Farook -- one-half of the couple behind the San Bernardino shooting massacre -- was apparently radicalized and in touch with people being investigated by the FBI for international terrorism, law enforcement officials said Thursday.
Farook's apparent radicalization contributed to his role in the mass shooting, with his wife Tashfeen Malik, of 14 people on Wednesday during a holiday party for the San Bernardino County health department, where Farook worked, sources said.

Did political correctness prevent San Bernardino shooting from being stopped?

Reportedly, mass shooting suspect Syed Farook is a devout Muslim...

Is anyone shocked?


Via NYDN:

One of the suspects in Wednesday’s mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif. has been identified as Syed Farook, according to reports.
Farook was linked to the horrific slaughter that took place at the Inland Regional Center, according to NBC News.
After police announced that two suspects — a male and a female — were dead following a car chase and shoot out with police, a search began at a nearby Redlands apartment linked to the suspects.
A man who identified himself as Farook’s father told the Daily News his son worked as a health technician inspecting restaurants and hotels.
“I haven’t heard anything. He worked in a county office,” Farook’s dad told The News. “He’s married and has a kid. We’re estranged because my wife got the divorce, and they are together. She doesn’t want to see me.”
Farook said he hasn’t seen his son in some time.
“He was very religious. He would go to work, come back, go to pray, come back. He’s Muslim.”
