Dahir Adan’s motive is abundantly clear from this article itself, yet law enforcement officials still apparently think that why Adan stabbed 10 shoppers at St. Cloud’s Crossroads Center remains a big mystery.

Well, let’s see.

1. He “plunged kitchen knives into 10 shoppers at St. Cloud’s Crossroads Center mall, after reportedly asking some if they were Muslim.’

2. The Islamic State hailed him as a “soldier of the Islamic State.” This, of course, may be jihadi opportunism, and reflect only on the Islamic State and not on Adan at all, but even if this comes from the Islamic State and not from Adan, it demonstrates that the Islamic State saw his attack as a plausible enough jihad to be worth claiming, while non-Muslim Minnesota officials are still scratching their heads.

3. He screamed “Allahu akbar” as he was stabbing his victims.

Nonetheless, “authorities still say they may never know what sparked Adan’s decision to bring two Farberware kitchen knives to the mall that night.”

Of course they may never know, because they don’t admit that there is an Islamic jihad in the first place.

Meanwhile, “Natalie Ringsmuth, who directs #UniteCloud, a nonprofit that has worked to ease cultural tensions,” laments that “the stabbing is still referenced by anti-Muslim activists.” Once again we see that for Leftists, Muslims are always the victims, no matter what the facts of the case may be.
