ISIS Calls Mass Shooters "Soldiers Of The Caliphate" As New Details Emerge About Wife
Although details about Syed Rizwan Farook emerged in fairly short order after he and his wife stormed a San Bernardino employee holiday party with assault rifles, murdering 14 and injuring nearly two dozen, information about Tashfeen Malik remained scarce.
All anyone seemed to know was that she was a native of Pakistan and that Farook married her in Saudi Arabia where she apparently lived with family.
The first picture of Malik surfaced on Friday evening.
Initially, Pakistani intelligence wasn’t much help, as Islamabad said the Americans simply hadn’t given them anything to go on and even if they had, their technology was “not sophisticated” enough to do much with it (US taxpayer counter-terrorism dollars hard at work), but on Saturday, the first details began to emerge.
As Reuters reports, Malik “was from Karor Lal Esan, a city on the west coast of the Indus River in southern Punjab province.” She had been living in Saudi Arabia with her father for 25 years. Pakistani officials note that “the area in Punjab where she spent her early years and later went to university is a 'recruitment ground' and stronghold of Islamist groups with ties to al Qaeda.”
The LA Times calls Malik's family "educated [and] politically influential." "Residents said the Aulakh family is known to have connections to militant Islam," the paper continues before citing a local as saying that "the family has some extremist credentials," whatever that means.
In any event, when her father moved to Saudi Arabia, “he changed a lot,” Malik's uncle, Javed Rabbani, says. "When relatives visited him, they would come back and tell us how conservative and hardline he had become.” Reuters goes on to say that the Saudi government had no information linking her to terrorist organizations.
On Friday, authorities claimed that Malik posted her allegiance to ISIS leader Bakr al-Baghdadi on Facebook during the course of the attack and while ISIS has stopped short of claiming direct responsibility, they did mention the shooting spree in al-Bayan’s daily news bulletin (which is kind of like a market wrap for terrorists):
While some news outlets seem to be caught up on the difference between the English language version which calls Malik and Farook “soldiers” and the Arabic version which calls them “followers,” it seems clear that Islamic State is not attempting to take credit for directing or otherwise facilitating the shootings (well, other than encouraging followers to murder people in thousands of propaganda videos). Of course that could change the more we learn about Farook’s alleged communication with “tangential” terrorist suspects.
Whatever the case, it's mission accomplished for the media when it comes to establishing a connection with Islamic fundamentalism and between that and the fact that the two assault rifles were obtained legally, this one checks all the boxes when it comes to sparking a political firestorm. Immigration debate? Check. Gun control debate? Check. War on terror debate? Check.
And that's just what America needs - another tragedy to politicize.

The press dropped this like a hot potato when it wasn't a couple of white guys. So, still a workplace incident then, according to the golfer in chief? And the emphasis to be only on the guns.
So if the U.S. intelligence apparatus created ISIS and ISIS is now murdering American citizens, then what conclusion can be reached other than the U.S. intelligence apparatus is now murdering American citizens?
If A = B and B = C then A = C.
good question Meat, on the face of it, that is a logical conclusion. However, consider this:
The Progressives in our govt are scum sucking sacks of shit, who could not think their way out of a wet paper bag, and so in their infinite non-wisdon and skittle shitting unicornism, did create these entities, without thinking what the possible outcomes could be!
They have no critical thinking ability to think that these idiots might just turn on them, and that my friend is the nexus of the whole sworded affair. IMHO
I could be all wet, but I know the way these idiots think and it is damn scarey!
Unix...I mean to vote for you Nevada(Unix for president) District.
Pencil me in, I won't win, but hey I appreciate the gesture my friend. I have voted here for you several times heh!
All in good fun isn't it, these panty waists have got NOTHING.
Kinda like a nickel holding up a dime, know what I mean...it really is pathetic.
I don't believe this a left vs right thing, but they want us to turn it into one. There is a much more sinister plan here. I could be wrong.
Meat, you are so in the middle, how does that vice feel? It is Progressivism fella, and both Rs and Ds wear it. Come on now, I expect better from you.
This makes too much sense......it gives me a headache.
Meathammer, you just raised Mr. Spock's... eyebrow.
Fascinating.
.... and here it is, just as we have discussed many times, they will be drafting women as well for the big one against the big boogie man.
"The White House is mulling a change to the military draft that would see women required to register. The proposal has come from the Pentagon, as the Defense Department opens up over 200,000 military jobs for women, including all combat roles."
“There will be no exceptions,” Defense Secretary Ash Carter said. “This means that, as long as they qualify and meet the standards, women will now be able to contribute to our mission in ways they could not before.”
President Obama praised the decision, saying it would make the US army “even stronger.”
“Our armed forces will draw on an even wider pool of talent,” Obama said. “Women who can meet the high standards required will have new opportunities to serve.”
Hey! I am the boogeyman and I'm hugable.
If ISIS actually ran a website - why wouldnt NSA shut it down?
They certainly can do so and it certainly would be a 'national security' issue.
There certainly really are real islamofascists and real acts of islamic terror - but this story seems hard to believe, in part at very least, as presented.
it's for the children you know, climate change is the problem man...just ask the assbanana emanating from the rainbow house.
Brotha and Sista Souldia....worshippers of the Queerann, the non-religion of pieces, supported and endorsed by the thin smoker in the rainbow house...

What happened, something bad?
Yea, we totally did that. ( what happened again?)
Enough is enough, US needs to deport the child, the grandmother and any and all relatives of these muslim traitor fucks. Why is it that its always the jews and muslims that cant get along? every other immigrant come here work hard and become american, but oh its not good enough for that horse faced saudi wahabi bitch, come here in 2014 and shoot up country in 2015. Fuck that. Why didnt US kill entire Bin Ladin family after 9/11? We need sto start holding the families of terrorists complicit in their crimes. Deport the fuckers
I see that you will be very useful.
All of these stories, going way back to the US' efforts to use armed Islamist groups to be our proxy fighters in Afghanistan, look a lot different if you consider the US created, armed, and supported these groups, the very ones we blame all of the "radicalized Muslim" attacks on. The US, Israel, and Saudi Arabia should always be high on any list of terrorism suspects.
Many of us have studied these issues. Many of us have also come to the conclusion a conspracy is the first option that needs to be investigated in cases like these. When you see the FBI show up, you know a thorough investigation will not occur and truthful reporting is suspect at best. For starters I would like to see all of the bullets that were supposedly fired that day. Have they even looked for them? If so were they matched to any bullets taken from bodies? Have all the police bullets been accounted for? Did they hit any houses while shooting all those rounds? Did they match any tactical clothing or face masks on the individuals to what the shooters were wearing on surveillance videos? Where are those videos? What do they show? Is there a picture of the dead woman that matches the photo? Were fingerprints obtained off of all evidence collected at the apartment before the reporters were let in? If evidence was taken, what has been the chain of custody? How could the FBI know they contacted people on their watch list, but not be on a watch list themselves?
But all we need to know is these two have muslim-sounding names, came from Saudi Arabia or Pakistan, and may have sent a pro-ISIS facebook post. Case closed.
Some great questions there Mr Boompi.
Will never see light of day
sammy sara, you think those are great questions? No it was an idictment of the USA, they were not questions at all, you and all the other conspiracy theorists here, grasp at your straws so desparately, that you even ignore the FACTS that we know to date.
I do hope the above poster and yourself realize what you are really doing, if not, I feel sorry for you.
unix, you look a little out of date.
bumpy, many others of 'us' also agree that to a degree the US is complicit in created, and it was a misguided strategy, same for ISIL. You see, it is Progressivism that has caused this, a minority in this country, push this agenda. I did not sign on for this, nor did a LOT of other people I know.
But you go too far with your conspiracy theories, in that, you leave out the actual words of the Quaran, and fail to point out it is a political, not religious organization, hell bent on converting the WORLD to it's ideologic precepts.
You also failed to mention, these barbarous people have been lopping off heads since the 7th century, and there is nothing you or I can do about it, as it is an apostacy in and of itself.
Lastly, your strawman arguements about the San Bernadino attacks are PURE CONJECTURE, you have no evidence to present to us, you ignore the woman pledged allegence to ISIL, how convenient for your little argument.
You would like to see the bullets fired? Did they hit any houses, well sir, since you are the expert, you should be telling us. No you are grasping for straws to put forth your flawed argument. Please do present all of your evidence that the FBI does NOT have this evidence!
Lastly, your case is far from closed, you sir, are a charlitan, hell bent on making two murderous Muslims out to be saints. There are 14 dead people that you don't account for. How do you know there are no surveillance videos, do you think you have to be privvy to all information while a case is being investigated? You are nothing more than a disingenuous fool, who has fallen down the rabbit hole of conspiracy, that is all.
Your case has more holes than a piece of swiss cheese.
Paid troll
Sammy, and you aren't a paid troll yourself? so anyone with a differing opinion to your so superior non-logic is a paid troll, you are fucking hypocrite of the highest order and idiots like you will soon find out how fucking WRONG you are. These scum sucking goat herders, are gonna lop your head off, just like they would mine, if they have the chance.
Wake up, grow up and use the two brain cells God gave ya, moron!
Yeah that head chopping is so crude, wish we could just go back to crucifixion. [sarc]
petro, the term useful idiot comes to mind when I see your inane posts. Unbeliever are you? Or is that your sadistic way?
There is no such word as non-logic. You curse because you have a limited vocabulary and you are truly a waste of space.
hey horsey, I got one thing left to tell you...FUCK YOU! You brainless dolt, I laid out my arguments in this thread, and many other posts, but you are too thick to see the forest for the trees, not my problem.
Don't you have some fudge to pack?
Unix for president...another fabulous post! On to victory and glory (I just wish there were more of us). I'd like to know your age....lot's of wisdom applied.
In a way I mourn for the young. There is some much false and misleading information everywhere. I try to do my duty as an elder and point some of this out to them (or at least get them to rethink some of the information presented.)
Chuckster,
I am 57 years young sir, and some if these ass puppies on here would pucker in their shorts if they fucked with me! You see I have lived through this exact scenario, socialized democracy, and a civil war broke out, I have seen the death and destruction it causes first hand, these pukes would shit their panties at what I have seen.
I mourn for them too, as they will reap what they sew, it will be horrible for them, for you see they are brainwashed useful idiots...
I think the mold in their mommies basement, and/our hallowed halls of lower communist education is the cause...I'd like to get a hold of the Bill Ayers of the world and take them behind the woodshed, get my drift?
Thank you for your service, we need more like you Chuck!
Unix - Braggart, you sew a shirt and sow a seed. Pitiful.
Oh, but you got my point though, didn't you, you little Progressive panty waist, move along, these are not the drueds you are looking for!
You think I am bragging about death and destruction you little twit, you have no idea what you are talking about, take your grammar school and shove it up your chuffer.
All you got is to point out how I spelled a word wrong, where are your oh so brilliant counter arguments? All I hear are Crickets....
Go play with your Ken and Barbie dolls, and let the adults in the room figure this out. Your bong awaits you!
The government doesn't get much for the money. You are an uneducated fool, incapable of expressing yourself in writing.
horseshit, your ad hominem attacks are boring me to death, have you nothing else to do? Like spanking your monkey? Now be a good little fellow and wipe your ass sometime, you are beginning to stink!
So you are not articulate enough to present any points other than attacks, brilliant I tell ya.
I have a participation trophy for ya...it's right here between my legs, suck on it!
Chuck - You are a flowery old commenter.
HE is better than the weed you are son! He has more sense in his pinky finger than you have in your two braincelled head!
No such word as braincelled. Give it up.
horsehocky, ok then how about this. You are an amoeba, now that is a fitting description for you. Don't you have a pool of water to infect?
Unix - Please post links to names and photos of 14 dead people.
OneHorse, I hope this is not too much for you conspiracy theorist, and I hope your head doesn't explode too. There is more to the world than you know!
http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-san-bernardino-shooting-vict...
You are a filthy paid espouser of the government line. May you rot.
You are a deluded fool, who will pay a heavy price for your ignorance. So those people are fake right? You dolt...
let's see the bodies. of everyone, including the alleged shooters.
they even start with a "composite photo". manipulated images. get it?
and your brain, unix, has more holes than a sieve. perhaps it was all that dexidrine you took?
two facts : even a scratch of the surface reveals that governments lie to us, and the media lies to us.
because we cannot trust the primary sources of information, it follows logically that we should have access to proper evidence, such as bullet fragments, cameras, access to bodies, etc, etc. even with a rigged investigation there is a modicum of procedure to follow viz crime scenes. apparently that never happens with these 'terrorist' events.
unix, you took someone's post which asked a few questions, questions which obviously frame the author's position as one "in doubt", and then subject him to abusive, emotive language which ignores the fundamental point: we have no evidence. we have no evidence of actual deaths, we have no evidence of what evidence , if any, actually exists.
all we have to go on, each time something like this [ostensibly]happens, is a narrative which does not match the images.
I'm with the guy who said you're a paid troll, unix. no unix engineer worth a piss would spell as badly as you; in fact your style is bad enough that it may trigger the more paranoid amongst us to think it's faked.
Why would you expect the FBI to have any brains? The were educated by the same schools our leaders were educated at. Did you watch too much FBI on tv and get radicalized?
Chuck - Ephraim Zimbalist was very convincing.
One....ya he was but I wanted to be his boss on the show. His boss only had one line per show. "How's it going Lew?"
Bill Clinton: "It's been 17 years and I'm still trying to figger out what is is."
Wild Bill only had one chain of thought.
The defining characteristic of all known life forms is the will to survive. Not for fanatical Islamists though, for whom death and the simultaenous taking of innocent lives is a passport to heaven. The suicide bomber is their gift to their belief system.
Israel has survived this abomination for decades: now the West gets to live it.
Two sons of Abram, using the same silly goddamned children's book for a life manuscript. They are both the same abomination.
One tried to stay in the lines while coloring. The other one didn't. That's what I thought too at the time. I told my teacher that staying in the lines seems so impersonal. She twisted my ear. Bitch! Do am I wrong again?
I don't think it's unnecessarily conspiratorial to consider that the reason ISIS isn't taking claim is because the mission was not completed and there are others still in the mix which they'd rather not out. It's unlikely that the two ammasseed their arsenal without assistance.
Now we know why they are forced to wear burkas
Now we know why you are forced to use the internet as your social outlet.
bwahahahahaa Chris, looking in the mirror much? hypocrite
came across this bit today and found it interesting so I thought I would throw it against the fight club wall.
make of it what you will...
On Friday a photo of alleged terrorist Tashfeen Malik surfaced in the media. ABC claims it received the photograph. It did not state how the photo was obtained.It is impossible to confirm if the photo is in fact an image of Malik. Law enforcement would be able to settle the issue by comparing it to the face of the body retrieved after the shoot-out with police in San Bernardino, that is if the face is recognizable.
So far, no family members have come forward to say the woman in the photo is in fact Malik. This appears to be impossible because, according to the corporate media, nobody ever saw the woman except Syed Rizwan Farook.
From the Daily Mail:
Relatives not seeing the woman’s face is unusual.
According to Encyclopedia.com: “…women do not wear the burka while they are home with their families.” Some men, however, insist their wives wear a burka or the niqab when in the presence of all males.
The ABC reports mentions nothing about Malik’s family:
Notice the sources of this information—the Saudi Arabian government and Pakistani intelligence. There is absolutely no mention of her mother and father or immediate family members.
ABC News adds that for the town in Pakistan Malik supposedly listed on her visa application does not exist.
Even if ABC had an interest in following up on the story instead of accepting the government script at face value as usual, the fact Malik’s family cannot not be located to verify her identity makes the story suspect.
We are expected to accept this information without question and also accept the official story she was killed along with her supposed husband in San Bernardino. A photo released on Thursday shows a bloody corpse we are told is Farook, although the face is not visible. No photo of a female corpse was released.
Government created terror narratives now routinely depend on people taking storylines for granted. A good example of this is the government claiming it had video evidence of the supposed Boston Marathon bombers placing an explosive device and refusing to show this evidence to the public. Evidence is now withheld under the pretense of “national security” or an explanation for withholding it–as in the case of surveillance video that would prove an aircraft indeed hit the Pentagon on September 11, 2001–is not given. Anomalies and incongruities are often dismissed as “trutherism.”
Considering the long history of government lies and distortions—from the Gulf of Tonkin to Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction and many others—we should not merely accept without question what the government and its corporate media are telling us about the alleged San Bernardino terrorists...
so, once again we have our debate, real or false flag. one thing that is certain however is that all terrorism is state sponsored and has been used by the ruling class to bend the serfs to their will for hundreds if not thousands of years. whether that ruling class is a monarchy, fascist, communist, technocratic, dictatorship or a corporate run banana republic idiocracy makes no difference.
same script, same story, same game being run over and over again.
and gun control is nothing more than a clique, a political contrivance run up the flag pole by oatmeal headed, public trough feeding social parasites that inhabit the decayed and corrupt halls of power in the US whenever something like this happens. in their psychopathy and delusions of grandeur and self importance these people have lost the ability to think critically or creatively. so gun control becomes a thoughtless, automated response, like zombies going after brains they don't understand how absurdly pointless and counter productive their stand is and neither do they care, they just vomit this garbage out.
I'm not even sure how many of them even care whether or not .gov actually ever really attempts a genuine house to house gun confiscation or not. so many just blurt this crap out because it's something to say that they don't have to put any thought or effort into and yet can still appear to be taking a stand or caring about what happens to the common folk. all without the inconvenience of halving to put any real thought into the issue or the pressure of halving to come up with any workable solution cause they all have far more important things to do.
like...
so real or not this is just another thoughtless action carried out by thoughtless people to which thoughtless, careless, zombie officials and .gov representatives are responding to. and as usual "we the serfs" lose all the way around.
Well, I can say this much, Syed's mother in FACT has seen her face, she came over to their house to babysit, and they left their house in army fatigues. So her claim of knowing nothing is a sack of lies. I would suspect the Imam of Syed's mosque also has seen her too!
While there is no proof of this, I would not put it past the proglodytes in Govt to put forth a false narrative, to convince people we need to take the guns, so the final bastion of true freedom (if we can call it that any more), is taken down!
World wide Communism and control is the quest of the Progressive Left, and they would do ANYTHING, the END JUSTIFY THE MEANS!
Remember, Bottom up, top down, inside out!
EDIT: Rules for Radicals is their playbook after all. Alinsky gave an over the shoulder salute to Lucifer, the grand deciever ya know.
'Well, I can say this much, Syed's mother in FACT has seen her face...'
'While there is no proof of this...'
Perfectly clear

Who watched their baby dickhead?
Thank you Marcufenix. Posts like this are the reason I still come and wade past the unixs
Rita Katz being a berry berry busy little khazarian witch.
Geez, if the Muslim god, the Christain god, and the Jewish god are so great, wonderful, and powerful, why can't they do their own fighting, and leave us poor mortals alone?
In a word, Satan!
Satan rules this world, he deceives us every day, in every way he can, some people fall for it and some don't.
Ya, I will take heat for the religous reference, but I am unaffraid to speak my mind.
there is/are no GOD(s) involved, only humans using pretexts for evil deeds for material gain
Says you! I could care less what you fucking think.
the US government shysters care how you think, they count on it
the more religioous you are, the easier it is to manipulate you
rational people are hard to crack
Manipulate this bitch ..!..
If you read my posts, and have any cognitive ability, you just might find the golden nugget you are searching for, but that is expecting a miracle.
I am no fan of this or any recent administration fella, if you can't see that, then you are truly blind, deaf and dumb!
You are dismissed!
Satan ain't bombing the Middle East, the US is.
blame the other political party for everything, just what they want you to think
You are an idiot, Putin is bombing them too, and France and Britain and so on, so there goes another one of your stupid theories DEBUNKED!
And I bet you crawl up Putin's ass too right?
pfffft
All you little idiots have is conspiracy theories...
I have been saying for 2 fucking years here, NO GOVTS ARE GOOD, and it sails right through your puny little mongrel heads, fuck off!
If there are any up there, I gotta think they're getting pretty sick and tired of being dragged down into all this non-stop insanity. The only one enjoying the show is Mr. Lou C. Fer
Let me get this straight, you don't believe in God, but you believe in Lucifer, my goodness, this is breathtaking!
religion is a red herring
the US has used Islam, communism, "not a democracy", and "(insert leader) kills his own people" to attack Nations when the former 3 don't apply (while it's the CIA does the killing to have that pretext). Libya, Iraq were secular, and Syria still is. The US sent in Al Qaeda into Iraq and festered divide between the Shiite and the Sunni (divide and conquer) to give the appearance of "radicalism" when the actual radicals were CIA trained mercenaries. Al Zarqawi, what a pathetic CIA farce, but American (and other western lackey) couch slouchers gobbled it all up.
Hating Islam to garner support from it's moronic cognitively challenged citizens is just what the US is manufacturing so there's a pretext to stealing resources in the Middle east.
I am not the one, You can thank the Progressive Left for the lunacy in this world...we know the assbanana is one, so was Bush, and on down the line back to Woodrow Wilson. Problem is they have infected the minds of many people, sad to watch it happen.
Republican- Democrat, they have exploited that red herring for ever.
The Ruling Elite don't give shit about which side of the coin they use to further their agenda of getting richer and gaining power at the expense of others.
By supporting one political party over the other, they have an easy time manipulating you.
By being political and religious, you're double fucked, they can do what they want with your mind.
Then call it like it is, Progressivism...THAT has killed this country, and both R and D's wear the label on their lapels!
Hey, I am religous and I see right through it, I guess that makes your little theory DEBUNKED
The white liberal is about to die.
We should all be celebrating their collective suicide.

FBI Agent Who Killed Boston Bombing Suspect's FriendLOL, my God, you two have gone far down the rabbit hole, how does the Queen of Tarts taste?
Proof please?
I am hearing Crickets already...
My guess is that her father planned it. He lives in Saudia Arabia and has a skank daughter that any local would expect a refund for after she showed her face. The father probably paid the guy cash to take his daughter to the US and they planned all along for a killing spree so he could trade her in for 72 virgins. Muslim women who are not virgins do not go to heaven, the virgins that go to heaven are the young girls supplied by our drones.
The US needs to institute a total travel ban with Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Afghanistan and Libya.
LOL, you think that'll get er done? You might as well include the EU now. Not to mention Thailand, etc...
Nahhh....we have to keep free trade with all countries, as well as travel. What the US Govt thugs could do is allow every man, woman, grandma and grandpa to carry big weapons where ever they may wander.
Anyone else but me notice Muslim Terroirst sympathizer Paul Ryan's new Musloid Terrorist Beard look. Fucking loser.
There are about 535 losers there, and your point is?
Let's cut these cave people some slack. If you had to see that thing in bed every morning and night, you would probably be ready to shoot some people too.

bwahahahaha, wart on her nose and all...she was the radicalizer...and why has the FBEYE nothing on her yet? that vetting process must be GREAT!
No Such Agency: "Err, we had a power glitch that day. Malik's dossier was lost."
General: "That sounds great, CAPT. Get it out, quickly. I have Kim Kardashian's camera phone on! Look at that!"
"Wow."
"Get along, CAPT. It'll be on tape when you get back."
"Promise, sir?"
If they were sent here as a sleeper cell to kill "non-believers", why not continue working as a health inspector? He could gone unnoticed forever giving skanky restaurants like Shitoplie "A" ratings indefinitely and if he was smart take a few bribes to send to Saudi Arabia
Not as glamorous as a big shoot-out and bombing if terrism is yer game.
Oh wow. That is (was) one smokin' hot babe.
NOT!
Sounds like a metal band.
Meanwhile the family's lawyer mentioned this interesting tidbit: The most provocative claim made by Chelsey dealt with the condition of the alleged terrorists when their bodies were found:
No matter how harmless some of these folks appear, they are always just a few steps away from becoming radicalized suicidal agents for ISIS. Nobody can predict how or when it will happen, only that for some, it inevitably will. When you allow enemy infiltrators free access inside your country, disasters are certain to follow. Denying the problem, or shfting blame, doesn't make it go away. Our leadership appears trapped by the exhausted civil rights struggle, and poorly equiped to deal with the entirely different situation at hand. They have foolishly dug in on what they perceive to be moral high ground, but they are wrong. We are not dealing with black folks riding the bus. We are dealing with a hostile invasion and enemy action. To win a war, you first better figure out who the real enemy is.
