Although one might have started to suspect that something was up when Farook went out of his way to visit a country home to the holiest sites of Islam and growing a style of facial hair that holds religious significance to many Islamic extremists, his family and coworkers insist that they were completely surprised by the heinous crime he and his wife committed. Per Breitbart:
“The suspects Farook and Malik left their 6-month-old baby girl with Farook’s mother early Wednesday morning, saying they had a doctor’s appointment, said Hussam Ayloush, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Ayloush based his comments on conversations he had with Syed Rizwan Farook’s brother-in-law Farhan Khan, who appeared at a news conference late Wednesday as a family representative.
The young parents did not return to get their daughter for several hours, however, and their family became worried when they could not reach them after seeing reports on the news about the shooting. The family at first was concerned that Farook might be a victim of the shooting because they knew he worked as an environmental inspector at the county’s health department and sometimes worked at the Inland Regional Center, Ayloush said.
The family only began to piece together the events around 2 p.m. – three hours after the shooting – when a reporter called with questions, Ayloush said. Family members were being questioned by police late Wednesday.
‘We don’t know the motives. Is it work, race-related, is it mental illness, is it extreme ideology? At this point, it’s really unknown to us and at this point it’s too soon to speculate,’ Ayloush said.

WHAT DID FAROOK’S CO-WORKERS THINK OF HIM?
Baccari said his co-worker, who said he was raised on a farm with goats and chickens, was reserved. Several months ago Farook grew out his beard. He appeared committed to his family, and never displayed any unusual behavior or discussed any radical political views.”
Very boy like
Well, he’s met his Maker by now and I’m sure he’s more than a little surprised!
The Wahhabi school out of Saudi Arabia is the origin of today’s so called radical Islam. Please read history people. This issue is so complex Islam has many factions just as Christianity it is only a recent development that radical Islam has sprung up due to western media propaganda. Sadly most radical Islam is in so called allies of NATO only because they help in our oil and illegal drug trade.
Can not understand that these people kill our people and seem like the government don’t care and then they want to take our guns they are idiots
Wahhabi is very old.
These are the Salaf. The generals of the Prophet since 622c.e to early 700 c.e. Basically, the 1st and 2nd Caliphates.
Muhammad ibn Abd Wahhab from the 1700’s only wanted to bring the Salaf back because during 1700’s, the Turks were in control; not the original Arabs. So, Wahab used the old preaching methods of Ibn Taymiyya, one of the 7th Century Salafi.
In other words, Wahabbism is not “recent”, it was created 1400 years ago.
Namely, the 1st initiation of Arab Islamic World Conquest. 622 c.e to 1031 c.e. (Rashidun and Umayyad Caliphates)
Thank you I’ll research more on your information if I was misled if like to know because I was led to believe the house of saud with colonial interests came up with a brand of radical Islam all their own. It’s very complex and I welcome corrections as I do not know what I do not know.
No problem. What people need to realize is that Islam came from Arabia. It originated there by and through Arab Conquest.
The Arabs were in control. That is until the Kurds took control during the Crusades, and 200 some years later, the Turks gained control after the Kurds.
This basically subjugated the Arabs and allowed the Mawali civilization (non-Arab Muslim) to suppress the Arabs using the Arabs’ own techniques to suppress the arabs. This pissed off the Arabs for a very long time. That is until Wahhab wating to rise the Salafi back to gain caliphate control back to the Arabs.
They’ve been waiting for a very long time because the Ottoman Turks were very powerful. That is until 1923, the fall of the Ottoman Caliphate.
So, from 1923 to this very day, the Salafi had been gaining power. The Arab Spring basically unlocked the door for Arabs to gain control and thus the Islamic State had risen.
But it gets more complicated than that because Salafi are Sunni Fundamentalists.
There are also Shia Fundamentalists whom are mostly of Persian decent. And the Persian Shia hate Sunni, because it was because of the Salafi that conquered Persia 1300 years ago.
Sauri Arabia is the birth place of many of the worlds radicals like Osama Ben Laden!!!
