Here are reportedly accurate photos of both alleged shooters of those who died / were injured outside the San Diego Counry mosque:
Cain Clark and Caleb Velasquez (also spelled Vazquez).
And hmmmm:
"A shotgun and gas can with an “SS” sticker on the side were located at the scene where the gunmen’s bodies were discovered.
"The “SS” sticker appears to represent the Schutzstaffel, the paramilitary organization led by Heinrich Himmler under Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime in Germany."
Were the SS anti-Muslim?
"No, the Nazi SS (Schutzstaffel) was not inherently anti-Muslim. While the SS was built on a foundation of fanatical, race-based anti-Semitism and white supremacy, their approach to Islam and Muslim populations was highly pragmatic. Driven by geopolitical goals and the need for manpower, they actively courted the Islamic world and recruited tens of thousands of Muslim soldiers.
"The relationship between the SS and the Muslim world included several key dynamics:
"Official Alliance and Recruitment:The SS and broader Nazi leadership recruited tens of thousands of Muslims into military service. The most famous of these was the 13th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Handschar, which was primarily made up of Bosnian Muslims.
Other divisions, such as the Skanderbeg (Albanians) and Turkic volunteer units, were also formed.Ideological Flexibility: To justify this recruitment and build alliances,high-ranking Nazis, including SS chief Heinrich Himmler, were known to admire Islam.They viewed it as a disciplined, martial, and practical religion.
In 1943, the SS even went as far as legally declaring Bosnian Muslims to be part of the "racially valuable peoples of Europe".
Collaboration with Leaders: The Nazi regime and the SS collaborated heavily with prominent Islamic figures, such as Hajj Amin al-Husayni (the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem). He resided in Berlin and actively aided the Axis by broadcasting pro-German, anti-Allied, and anti-Jewish propaganda to the Middle East.Extreme Pragmatism vs. Ideology: While they allied with Muslims politically and militarily, the Nazis' core racial hierarchy remained. Their alignment with Muslims was based entirely on shared enemies—primarily the British Empire, the Soviet Union, and the Jews. Outside of these specific alliances, local SS squads occasionally committed atrocities against Muslim populations on the Eastern Front, assuming that circumcision proved the victims were Jewish.
