Slashing one and you may have some personal vendetta against the owner of the car. But 78 car tires? People falsely accuse Jihad Watch of putting up accounts of any crime when committed by a Muslim, even when the perpetrator’s Islamic faith is tangential to the crime. But this is no ordinary crime. It is a pointless act of vandalism, unless Ahmad Zafar is seething with hatred for Canada and Canadians, and why would that be? This raises the question of whether he was trying, in his own small and inventive way, to overwhelm and disrupt the workings of the Toronto police force, as well perhaps to “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60), or express his contempt for “the most vile of created beings” (Qur’an 98:6). No connection will be made to jihad in this case, but since the Islamic State has called upon Muslims to try to overwhelm law enforcement agencies in the West with so many attacks and plots and crimes that they collapse, the connection can’t be discounted out of hand.
