Jihad by Car: Driver Slams Into Another Car 'In the Name of Allah'

"I did it on purpose."

Another day in America, another "lone wolf" jihadist waging violent jihad.

Scott Alcala of Fresno, California was driving to San Jose to play golf with his father last weekend when witnesses say a car going extremely fast swerved into Alcala, causing him to fishtail and cross into oncoming traffic.

“I saw the Suburban coming right at me about to T-bone right into the driver door and I thought that was it," said Alcala,according to Fox 26 News. "A second later I turned my head and just smashed into the barrier.”

He and the other driver miraculously emerged from their cars unscathed and with no others involved.

Alcala said that an off-duty police officer spoke to the other driver in his vehicle and asked, "Are you all right? That was way too fast." The driver said "I did it on purpose. It was in the name of Allah."

The police report says driver Ameer Abbaf Fakhraldin told police the collision was caused by Donald Trump's improper treatment of minorities, and by other people's lack of faith in Allah. Fakhraldin estimated his speed was 200 miles per hour. He also told police he caused the crash by using psychic/telekinetic powers to control the steering. The officer at the scene said the driver was apathetic and uninterested in the incident.

Alcala said, “There was no remorse. He just went back to his car nonchalant, pulled out a water bottle and just posted up."

Police naturally are not declaring this to be an act of terrorism -- nothing short of another 9/11 attack would seem to warrant that -- but Alcala, a veteran who fought overseas in the war on terror, believes it was indeed terrorism.

“He was just trying to target as many people as he could," said Alcala. "He was just trying to cause a pile up. It wasn't me personally. It was as if someone were to throw a bomb in the middle of downtown. It's no different, it’s the same thinking.”

An incident like this makes Alcala feel like the war has followed him home. “Coming back from Afghanistan, thinking I’m on home soil I’m safe now… just shouldn't have to worry about something like that, you know?”

We shouldn't, but we do.
