The investigation into Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the ISIS-inspired terrorist responsible for a deadly attack on New Orleans’ Bourbon Street, has revealed shocking details about his radicalization, planning, and motives. Jabbar’s actions resulted in the tragic deaths of 14 innocent people, leaving a trail of destruction and unanswered questions.
Jabbar, a Houston native, was shot and killed during the New Orleans attack, but the aftermath of his crime unveiled a chilling picture of his preparation. A raid on his north Houston trailer uncovered bomb-making materials, chemical residues, and other evidence linking him to ISIS.
Exclusive images showed a Quran prominently displayed, open to Verse 9:111, a passage often cited by extremists for its reference to martyrdom and fighting in the name of Allah. Surrounding the Quran were other religious texts and a prayer rug, further indicating his ideological leanings.

Hours before carrying out his attack, Jabbar posted five disturbing videos on Facebook. In the first video, he admitted he initially planned to kill family and friends but abandoned the idea, believing it wouldn’t achieve the media impact he desired.
In subsequent videos, Jabbar revealed he had joined ISIS months earlier and shared his last will and testament. These recordings not only provided insight into his mindset but also underscored his alignment with ISIS’s ideology.
Jabbar’s journey from a U.S. Army veteran to a terrorist remains a complex narrative. After enlisting in 2006, he served in Alaska, North Carolina, and Afghanistan. Although he didn’t engage in combat, he rose to the rank of staff sergeant by 2013 before leaving the military in 2015.
Following his service, Jabbar pursued a lucrative career in the tech industry, holding positions at prestigious firms like Accenture, EY, and Deloitte. Despite his professional success, his personal life was fraught with turmoil. Two failed marriages, financial difficulties, and a restraining order for threatening his second wife marked his descent into isolation and frustration.
His younger brother, Abdur Jabbar, described him as a kind individual but admitted the terrorist’s actions appeared driven by radicalization rather than religious devotion.
The FBI confirmed that Jabbar acted alone during the attack, alleviating fears of a broader network. Investigators seized three cell phones and two laptops from a New Orleans Airbnb, but no evidence suggested accomplices.
Neighbors in Jabbar’s Houston community were blindsided by his actions. Just hours before the attack, he told them he was relocating to New Orleans for a new IT job. He declined offers to help with the move, claiming he was heading to a furnished apartment and needed nothing from his trailer.
One neighbor, Muntaz Bashir, expressed shock, saying, “Unfortunately, you can’t read someone’s mind.”
Jabbar’s trailer, now a crime scene, painted a grim picture of his double life. In addition to bomb-making materials, agents found children’s toys and bunk beds, hinting at a life he left behind. A keffiyeh hung in his closet, a symbol often associated with Middle Eastern heritage.
The trailer was left in disarray following the FBI raid, with furniture overturned and the front door battered open.
Despite Jabbar’s military background and high-profile tech career, he managed to carry out one of the deadliest domestic terror attacks in recent history. Lawmakers were briefed on the incident, with authorities confirming he was not on any terror watchlists prior to the attack.
FBI Deputy Assistant Director Christopher Raia urged vigilance, reassuring the public about Bourbon Street’s safety but emphasizing the unpredictable nature of lone-wolf attackers.
Jabbar’s trajectory underscores the ongoing threat posed by radicalization and its ability to infiltrate seemingly stable lives. His act of terror was not born from an impoverished or uneducated background but rather from an unsettling combination of personal grievances, ideological manipulation, and a calculated desire for notoriety.
The horrifying details of Jabbar’s life and crime offer a sobering reminder of the persistent dangers of terrorism. As the nation mourns the victims of his attack, the investigation into his radicalization and motives continues, aiming to prevent future tragedies.

The best way to defeat the purposes of Satan is to live and teach the Truth.
Jesus says, “I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man comes unto the Father, but by Me” (John 14:6).
The Koran is corrupt because Muhammad was a false prophet and Allah a false God for, if the Koran were not corrupt and both Muhammad and Allah were not false, all three would have embraced and taught The Ten Commandments as the Greatest and Most Sacred Knowledge ever given to mankind by The Only True God and Christ Jesus Whom He Has Sent.
If all three had done so, there would not now be war in the Middle East, Gaza would be flourishing instead of lying in ruins, for Palestinians would never have grown up chanting and shouting “Death to Jews!”, Death to Israel!” and “Death to America!” and then, subsequently, voting a terrorist organization, Hamas, or any other terrorist organization, into power as their government.
The First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States proclaims:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”.
Not only is The Ten Commandments an Establishment of Religion, but it is, First and Foremost, an Establishment of The Only True God and Christ Jesus Whom He Has Sent and is the Greatest Knowledge ever given to mankind. It the Truth. It is Spiritual and Moral Reality. It is the Righteousness of I AM THAT AM.
“Thy Righteousness is an Everlasting Righteousness, and Thy Law is the Truth” (Psalm 119:142).
It is not possible that a judge can block the Louisiana law and, at the same time, not prohibit the “free exercise” of a teacher or administrator to post or display The Ten Commandments.
If “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”, undoubtedly the judicial branch of government cannot make what would essentially be a new law contravening the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.
If the judge was Constitutionally correct in blocking the Louisiana law, then any judge would also have the Constitutionally-granted power to block the printing of “In God We Trust” on all the money that we carry around in our pockets.
Just as Roe v. Wade was rightly overturned by the Supreme Court, so, too, should their 1980 Stone v. Graham decision banning the display of and/or the teaching of The Ten Commandments be revisited by the Supreme Court and rightly overturned.
Absolutely!
Anyone with a functioning brain but more importantly a heart that is touched by the Holy Spirit only need look at those that are beheading, blowing up and burning alive in cages to “absolutely see and know who the enemies of God’s chosen are and who actually oppose fully Jesus Christ as the only Lord, Savior and Redeemer!”
Matthew 7:19-21 “Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20So then, by their fruit you will recognize them. 21Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven.”
Matthew 7:15-17 “Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.”
In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen.
It appears to be far beyond the point of merely approaching insanely brainwashed masses with truth to broaden their horizons and compel them to turn away from evil and only do what is good according to God Almighty through the teachings of Jesus Christ and the Ten Commandments! Unfortunate the cat is already out of the bag as the saying goes and evil has gained a deep cultural as well as political foothold absolutely in the Middle East but now also gaining the same voracious appetite in Western societies, various populations and governance which means that massive conflict is on the rise and will only get much worse because force is needed to eradicate this pestilence that has infected humanity!
I had written previously the following that initiated on a Christmas Day a few years back when one of these hell-bent individuals ranted about his false belief system and desire for it to overwhelm all others especially Christianity.
A past Christmas Day I had one of these fanatical infiltrators make some horrid statements to me which I responded to with the following that I hope helps others to truly understand and seek Jesus Christ our Savior.
>Tony Your own words; “live the way you want and not dictate as you are just a human and not a messenger of GOD, like Jesus and Muhammad were.” Muslim hoax” I am wondering how you equate a “hoax” with facts of an Islamic Empire” Wonder NO MORE, Pay attention and learn of your blaspheming error! You have a huge inaccuracy that needs to be corrected! Saying that Jesus is another prophet like Muhammad is blasphemous. First Jesus was not a mere prophet but was God Himself and therefore the Redeemer and Savior of Mankind as he said. Muhammad was only a supposed prophet and there is irrefutable evidence in the historical text of the time he lived that points to his being an outright liar and heretic as well as a criminal and child molester along with his being a polygamist!
The following statements are highly accurate and actually proven. “In 632, only months before he died, Muhammad apparently met for the first time with a Christian community as such. An official delegation of Christians, probably led by a bishop, came to Mecca from Najran in Yemen. After engaging the Christians in discussion, the Prophet is said to have realized that Christian teachings are indeed incompatible with Islam, after which the revelation followed that only Islam is acceptable to God as a religion. The Quran also says very specifically that those who refer to Jesus as God are blasphemers, and that Christians saying that Christ is the son of God is an imitation of Jews, who earlier had said that Ezra is the son of God. According to the Quran Jesus was only a servant; Jesus the son of Mary was no more than an apostle of God. Quranic verses dealing with Jesus’ death have been interpreted differently by commentators, but generally they have been taken to mean that Jesus did not die by crucifixion. For Christians the Quran has thus served as a denial of Jesus’ incarnation and death on the cross and of the reality of the Trinity.” (Oxford University Press)
These two points alone put Islam and the Muslims completely at odds with Jesus Christ and all Christians and are the enemies of such! Muhammad himself began this conflict and was the spoiler and Heretic directly attacking God’s plan as foretold by all the previous prophets going all the way back to Abraham. Things have been in conflict because of Muhammad ever since and are getting worse because of a fake religion started by a false prophet and therefore heretic! In Summary Muslims are in complete denial of what Jesus Christ said and who He was which makes them Anti-Christ and supportive of the Devil and all that is unholy. Basically Muhammad started this Blasphemy back in 632 AD and outright declared War on Christendom! Islam you yourself stated is an EMPIRE which puts it in the category of being a Nation (political ideology) not a Religion! It is not a religion that is backed up with solid historical evidence and prophecy over time by many prophets other than what Muhammad said, he made it all up, the heretic!
I hope this helps to further enlighten others and those who are confused will read more seeking the facts from the truths that God has provided to mankind! And that they pray to Him daily for His divine Holy Spirit to comfort and teach them; in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Not sure, if it’s the middle finger. After a year of IDFq. @$$ kicking, Hamas has only one finger remaining. I still favor ceasefire, but June is soon enough.
So, Israel left them one finger. I want it.
It and all attached to it are as good as dust!
Muhammad himself began this conflict and was the spoiler and Heretic directly attacking God’s plan as foretold by all the previous prophets going all the way back to Abraham. Things have been in conflict because of Muhammad ever since and are getting worse, this will not resolve until Islam is Chastised or obliterated as a fake religion started by a false prophet and therefore heretic! In Summary Muslims are in complete denial of what Jesus Christ said and who He was which makes them Anti-Christ and supportive of the Devil and all that is unholy. Basically Muhammad started this Blasphemy back in 632 AD and outright declared War on Christendom! Islam you yourself stated is an EMPIRE which puts it in the category of being a Nation not a Religion! It is not a religion that is backed up with solid historical evidence and prophecy over time by many prophets other than what Muhammad said, he made it all up, the heretic! Islam seeks to conquer and must be stopped! And it will be! God’s avenging angels are going to obliterate Islam and any of its followers, they are minions of Satan!
In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen.
All Americans, do you really understand Islam? You best read the article below and do some serious research. Your very life may be at risk! Most important, ask yourself why so many government officials and the media in the so-called Free/Western world tend to downplay and/or avoid detailed disclosures when reporting on incidents involving Muslim perpetrators.
QUESTION: May an old soldier/cop with many years of experience combating all manner of terrorism ask all of you who are currently demonstrating in many different ways that you sympathize with and/or support varied Muslim causes (i.e. pro-Palestinian, anti-Jew, anti Israel, pro Hamas, anti-Christian, anti-America, pro-Iran, etc.) a question? Just how much do you know about the mandates/tasks given to Muslims over 1400 years ago by the Prophet himself? Suggest all those non-Muslims feeling and/or demonstrating sympathy for any/all Muslim causes take note. Muslims were charged over 1400 years ago to rid the world of non-believers, install Sharia as the law of the land, and establish Islam as the world’s only religion.
In 1982 a team of army officers were charged by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs after the kidnapping of an army general (December 1981) with the tasks of assessing the primary threats to DOD personnel deployed overseas, and developing doctrine for combating the same. The team presented the results of their assessment to the Reagan administration clearly identifying the ‘Primary Threat’ to DOD personnel in the spring of 1982.
Take note, that ‘Primary Threat’ was then as it is today, except today it applies to ‘All Americans’. That ‘Primary Threat’ is the threat presented by radical Muslims to all non-believers. Like most of the so-called ‘Free World’ has been doing for many years, the Reagan administration did not take the team’s assessment to heart until over 200 military personnel were killed by a single Muslim suicide bomber in 1983.
Sadly and tragically every administration starting with Bill Clinton has downplayed the Muslim threat. George Bush turned his Counter-Muslim terrorists campaigns into country building campaigns primary aimed at making billions for the American Military/Industrial/Political Complex. Only Donald Trump attempted to find a compromise with Muslim world. As soon as Joe Biden stole the Presidency did we see how easy it was to negate Trump’s efforts and provide opportunities around the world for Muslim radicals to complete the tasks Mohammad gave them. What Joe Biden has done will more than likely enhance completion of the Muslim’s objectives beyond measure. As a Christian soldier I believe we have reached the point that the return of Jesus may be the only hope of survival for the non-Muslim world.
Suggest all non-Muslims consider the words of one of the army officers who served on that 1982 team presented to a large gathering of college students at the invitation of their college shortly after the Biden administration abandoned many Americans and our Afghan allies when he literally surrendered to the Taliban.
“The only tactic that has any hope of deterring the Muslim threat is to kill them in their beds before they kill us in ours!”
Soldier/Cop. Retired
almost funny but do we see mainstream articles about the fake “jews” killing palestinian families and kids with their bombs?
True and it has to end bloody as they won’t reason they have evil souls!
It is not a religion that is backed up with solid historical evidence and prophecy over time by many prophets other than what Muhammad said, he made it all up, the heretic! Islam seeks to conquer all humanity and must be stopped! And it will be! God’s avenging angels are going to obliterate Islam and any of its followers, they are minions of Satan!
After this experience on Christmas day which I never in my entire life had any such blatant Anti-Christ in my face attack, and of all things on Christmas day activity, tells me that we are in the end times as Satan is working through all means available at a fever pitch to Attack Christianity and it’s faithful because the time is drawing near for God to return! Of course I could be off by many years but this is my hunch as there are so many signs!
Again I hope this helps to further enlighten others and those who are confused will read more seeking the facts from the truths that God has provided to mankind! And that they pray to Him daily for His divine Holy Spirit to comfort and teach them; in Jesus’ name. Amen.
how convenient to point to an muslim
of course, if the Talmud book were open, it wouldn’t be mentioned
