THE SHOOTER WAS ISLAMIST AASHIQ
HAMMAD
The nonpareil Judicial Watch does it again by exposing
the media and government cover-up surrounding the Fort Lauderdale shooter, who
converted to Islam and reinvented himself as Aashiq
Hammad.
Leftists will deride the source in
the manner that they took down conservative think tank founder, David Horowitz,
and Center for Security Policy CEO and former assistant secretary of defense to
Ronald Reagan, Frank Gaffney, yesterday at the Jeff Sessions for Attorney
General hearing.
You
decide.
However, if you're grateful for Judicial Watch’s tenacity here (and
elsewhere), please go to their website and donate to this remarkable
organization that is doing the job of the FBI. Also see Judicial
Watch Pinch-hitting for the FBI.

Ft. Lauderdale airport shooter had converted to Islam before joining the Army
by WorldTribune Staff, January 11, 2017
The
gunman who killed five people at the Ft. Lauderdale Airport had converted to
Islam and created a “jihadist identity” for himself prior to joining the U.S.
Army, according to public records.
Esteban
Santiago took on the Islamic name Aashiq Hammad, downloaded terrorist propaganda
and recorded Islamic religious music online, records show, according to a report
by the gotnews.com investigative news site.
The
newly uncovered information linking the shooter to radical Islam flies in the
face of the official story from authorities that he is a mentally ill Army
veteran who became unhinged after a tour of duty in Iraq.
“This
is pertinent information that the Obama administration apparently wants to keep
quiet, bringing up memories of the Benghazi cover up, in which the president and
his cohorts knowingly lied to conceal that Islamic terrorists attacked the U.S.
Special Mission in Libya,” Judicial Watch said on Jan. 10.
Besides
taking on a Muslim name, he recorded three Islamic religious songs, including
the Muslim declaration of faith (“there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his
messenger”) known as the Shahada. He also posted a thread about downloading
propaganda videos from Islamic terrorists on a weapons and explosives forum.
The
investigative news site connected the dots between Santiago, who is of Puerto
Rican descent, and Hammad, an identity he created in 2007.
“Traditional
mainstream media coverage promotes the government rhetoric that omits any ties
to terrorism even though early on a photo surfaced of Santiago making an ISIL
salute while wearing a keffiyeh, a Palestinian Arab scarf,” Judicial Watch
noted.
In
a letter to Ft. Lauderdale’s mayor and commissioners, a prominent businessman
and longtime resident of the city slammed county and federal officials for
covering up that “Aashiq Hammad," not Esteban Santiago, attacked our city and
county.”
The
businessman, respected Ft. Lauderdale real estate entrepreneur Jim Morlock,
specifically names Broward County’s elected sheriff Scott Israel, Florida
senator Bill Nelson, the first to identify Santiago as the shooter on national
television, and congressman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, ousted last summer as
Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair over a scandalous plot to damage
Bernie Sanders during the primary.
“Since
when does a U.S. Senator (Bill Nelson), not law enforcement, be the one to so
quickly release this terrorist’s Hispanic name but nothing about his more
relevant Islamic background?” the letter asks. “Obama must have told Sen. Nelson
to keep this from looking like a Muslim terrorist attack during the last 12 days
of his watch. Bad for his legacy.”
Morlock
goes on to state that it’s “better to portray this atrocity as white Hispanic
Alaskan mental Iraq war vet gun violence.”
Morlock’s
letter goes on to reveal that Santiago lives within walking distance of the only
mosque in Alaska, was radicalized before he entered the military and was
knowingly allowed to serve despite his Islamic sympathies thanks to “Obama’s PC
military.”
Judicial
Watch said Morlock’s letter “poses interesting questions, including why this
Muslim terrorist chose Ft. Lauderdale out of all the nation’s airports and who
Santiago knows in Broward county, which has a large and growing Islamic
community.”
In
2015, Judicial Watch obtained records from the Florida Department of Law
Enforcement (FDLE) that show an Al Qaida terrorist who helped plan several U.S.
attacks lived in Broward County and graduated from the local community college
with a degree in computer engineering. His name is Adnan G. El Shukrijumah, but
he also had a Hispanic identity, Javier Robles, and for years he appeared on the
FBI’s most wanted list.
In
2012, Judicial Watch reported on a terrorist front group’s demands that Broward
County public schools close twice a year to celebrate Islamic holy days,
illustrating the influence that Muslims have in the region.
