No one could ever have predicted that a Moslem would plan to murder people randomly.
Samy Mohamed Hamzeh, 23, had a plan, the Justice Department said: Kill more than two dozen people at a Masonic temple in Milwaukee and become an international jihadist superstar.
“I am telling you, if this hit is executed, it will be known all over the world,” Hamzeh told two unnamed FBI sources in Arabic. “All over the world, all the mujahedeen will be talking and they will be proud of us … We are marching at the front of the war.”
The larger the number of victims, the better, Hamzeh said. But 30 sounded about right.
“Thirty is excellent,” he allegedly said. “If I got out, after killing 30 people, I will be happy 100 percent … 100 percent happy, because these 30 will terrify the world.”
Now, Hamzeh’s alleged plans have been derailed. He was arrested Tuesday and charged with possessing machine guns and a silencer, as the DOJ announced.
“Samy Mohamed Hamzeh devised a detailed plan to commit a mass shooting intended to kill dozens of people,”Acting United States Attorney Gregory J. Haanstad said in a statement. “He also said that he wanted this mass shooting to be ‘known the world over’ and to ‘ignite’ broader clashes. It is difficult to calculate the injury and loss of life that was prevented by concerned citizens coming forward and by the tireless efforts of the FBI and the Joint Terrorism Task Force.”
Arrested after reportedly purchasing weapons from two undercover FBI agents, Hamzeh’s plans were detailed indeed, prosecutors said. Though he originally intended to attack Israeli soldiers and civilians in the West Bank, he settled on the Freemasons’ lodge, and discussed the need for high-powered weaponry at length.
“We want two machine guns,” Hamzeh, who was placed under surveillance in October, told the FBI’s sources. “You now have one, so we want two more, and we need three silencers, that’s it. Find out how much all together these will cost, and then we will march.”
According to the DOJ, he had plotted the whole attack out, down to where he thought his conspirators would stand at the temple.
The most important thing we can take away from this is that we must not embrace hate and fear and bigotry. Instead, we must remember the Constitution, small government, free trade and freedom of religion.
The real threat is not getting randomly murdered. The real threat is that we say or do something which hurts the feelings of a brown person.
