Misunderstander of Islam with butcher knife: "He was Muslim, and wanted to start a jihad, or holy war, in Memphis"

Now he is free on $100 bond. Clearly this far-seeing and right-thinking judge understands that Islam is a Religion of Peace™, and that therefore this man only intended to butcher his sinful inclinations, as part of his inner spiritual struggle to conform his life to the will of Allah.

And now that he is out, is anyone paying any attention to how his inner spiritual struggle is going? Or is this another Misunderstander of Islam that we're only going to hear about again if he misunderstands jihad at the expense of the life of an Infidel or two?

"Memphis Man Arrested: Accused of Making Bomb Threats & Threatening to Start 'Holy War,'" from MyEyewitnessNews.com, December 25 (thanks to Pamela):

MEMPHIS, TN - Tonight, Mohamed Ibrahim is out after posting $100 bond. Earlier in the day, he was arrested after police say he walked into several Memphis businesses and threatened to blow them up.

Court records show Ibrahim was also telling people he was Muslim, and wanted to start a jihad, or holy war, in Memphis.

Police say when they arrested him, he had a butcher knife hidden in one of his jacket sleeves.

UPDATE: In a sudden outburst of common sense, Mohamed Ibrahim's bail amount seems to have been changed to $50,000. (Pamela has court docs and info).

Please don't tell me this story is actually true as reported and this guy is walking out after posting a $100 bond

No there is something wrong with this story. No judge could possibly be that callous or careless based on what police said occurred.

The whole thing must have been a complete misunderstanding;

ya that's it. I'll go with that.

Posting a $ 100.000 bond should have been more like it... Or did the judge want to avoid being labeled a "mahound-o-phobe" by Nihad Awad's inbred bedouin savage thugs?

The mere activity of going to public places and announcing you are a Muslim and are going to blow them up should justify, in a sane world, the immediate neutralization of the Muslim with deadly force. One blown-up public place with untold numbers murdered is one too many to gamble on the likelihood that any given incident will be a dry jihad.

And yet not one mention on this website about the millions of MUSLIMS in Iran that are fighting for their freedom against a fundamentalist government and bare mention of the fact that the MUSLIM father of the attempted NWA bombed tried to turn him in and the fact that the MUSLIM parents of the American college students who went to Pakistan to fight turned them in as well? All those peaceful decent human beings must misunderstand Islam.

Why do the authorities hate the public so much? Who set the bail for Mohamed Ibrahim? What guidelines were followed for the determination of this very low sum?

So this is #31 on the list of incidents of the various flavors of Islamic qital -- attempted terror attacks, terror plots in the planning stage nipped in the bud by law enforcement, and sudden jihad syndrome attempts successful or not -- on American soil since 911?

Given the fact that almost 1/4 of the world's population is muslims, 31 incidents over nearly 10 years does not equate to much. If all or most muslims were acting on a violent ideology, planes would be blown out of the sky all over the world everday.

It was all a complete misunderstanding. Mr. Ibrahim is claerly a management consultant, and when he told the businessmen he wanted to "blow up" their businesses, he meant to blow them up in size, to expand them. Of course, it was a poor choice of words, with the businessmen naturally jittery right after the Detroit airliner attack.
Sure.
And the butcher knife was just for self-defense. Memphis has some rough neighborhoods.

Joseph McCarthy, that last comment of mine was not my reply to you, but this is.

I exempt those "millions" of Iranian people because of the analyses of Diana West that show the leaders they support are no less fanatical and anti-American than the current bunch, along with my experience discussing issues with a few Iranian ex-pat ex-Muslims who might as well be Muslims, given their attitudes and ideas about the West and America. I mean, if ex-Muslim Iranians are that bad, how much worse would Iranian Muslims be, no matter if they demonstrate in the street with blue jeans on.

As for the father of the Nigerian, at best he is a co-dependent enabler of the same monster that breeds the twisted murderous fanaticism that infected his son -- and what's worse, the father can't even see that. Sure, it's nice that he saw fit to inform the authorities. But if he's not a 2-year-old and he's not a retard, I expect more of him as a thinking adult. Or, at worst, the father just believes in a more, let us say, surreptitious form of advancing the jihad -- one that doesn't call so much attention to Muslims in a bad light too soon, while the cat needs to remain in the bag.

Religion of peace, eh? ...horsepucky!

sometime in the near future, you will read about this Muslim Mohamed Ibrahim again...he has been given a second chance to make good his theats...

Ordinarily you would think so -- UNLESS THE JUDGE HIMSELF IS A MUSLIM.

With conversion to Islam in the United States going on at an alarming rate we have to start considering the unthinkable whenever we hear of a screwball decision like this being made: Is he a Muslim? Because nowadays it is a real possibility.

Infiltration of our legal system is also part of jihad.

If ignorance is bliss then joseph m. must be in a state of ecstasy. In the past six months I have read more about the protesters in iran on this site than ANYWHERE else. And as for planes being blown out of the sky comment......let's remember that as bad as security is for airports and planes, it is still the most highly guarded area of a civilian's normal life (excluding some government buildings et.al) Hence the over 15,000 islamic terrorist attacks all over the world against western TARGETS on the ground. I suppose that you think that's just a drop in the bucket compared to the overall population of the world, eh joe!?!

While some people like joe think that it's okay to sacrifice American lives in pursuit of cultural diversity, others like me say NO GO JOE!! This scumbag and the judge who released him should both be in jail!!

Since this report came out during a federal holiday (Christmas) consider the following report which states the FBI is involved and the court date was set for this morning:

Man faces terrorism charge after threats:


By Ryan Poe
Published Saturday, December 26, 2009

A Memphis man was arrested Friday after he walked into seven local businesses and announced that he would bomb them if they didn't close, according to a police affidavit.

The report states that Mohamed Ibrahim, 35, threatened businesses on Poplar Avenue, Summer Avenue, Mendenhall, Perkins and Danny Thomas Boulevard.

"If you don't close this place up, I'm going to blow it to pieces," Ibrahim told customers at the BP Gas Station on the 300 block of Poplar, according to the report.

A police officer pulled over the suspect's black PT Cruiser on Poplar and arrested Ibrahim, who was "very nervous" and appeared as if "he was trying to hide something," the report stated.

The suspect tried to kick out the windows of a patrol car during the arrest and police said they had to use pepper spray to subdue him.

The FBI found three Islamic cassette tapes and miscellaneous papers in the suspect's car, which were removed for additional study, according to the affidavit. Police charged Ibrahim with commission of an act of terrorism, filing false reports and disorderly conduct He posted $100 bond and was released, PENDING HIS COURT DATE ON MONDAY.[my emphasis added]

This did not even made the headlines of the paper. It was a small article in the Greater Memphis section.
There is nothing to worry about in Memphis , he will be released soon and try again....

You may actually want to scroll through the articles posted. All that you claim has not been brought up has been mentioned. Also, this is not a thread dealing with Iran or the Detroit bomber. Please spam elsewhere.

Do you believe it is likely that he will even appear? The amount he had to pay to post bond was absurdly low. It is almost as if the judge wanted him to flee. $100 is not even 1% of the bond value. Something is really screwy here.

I dont think you can find a Muslim judge in Memphis BUT there is so much corruption going on in the judicial system that a watchdog has opened an investigation months ago and published a report that we hope will attract attention and clean up the place.
The corruption is mostly in family court where judges are in bed with lawyers , deplete the family assets, use the children as pond and after having made enough money defy the laws and give everything to the one who is able to pay.
Complaints against judges are most of the time thrown under the rug by the TCOJ . This corruption is the reason why the Sharia law is creeping in this deadly state and potential terrorist will get away.

I don't understand...if there' s a $50K bond, why the $100 release?

Here we go again, another troll.. how did you come to conclude that the Muslim father of the NWA actually told the authorities? It has not been confirmed by the US Office in Nigeria yet, or do you have more info?

He told that to the US Embassy in Nigeria about six months back... wow .. the same people also told that they had no idea of his whereabout?
I guess the father is a clever and most corrupt guy in Nigeria to get to his position, right? Why didn't he tell the British Authorities, the fact his kid was applying to get back into the UK at the same time, about six moths back?

The Muslim population "estimated" to be 1.2 billion. I don't know if most Moslum countries know their breeding rate. That is about 15%. Which is impressive. That is an estimate far short of 25% that you imagine.

He doesn't consider most of the others "human". Only the People of the Book. The rest are polytheists and don't count.

Miira

thanks for posting that extra info.

Let's all note, first of all, that the incident took place *on a Friday*. That is, on the Muslim 'holy' day.

And that this Muslim didn't simply tell the non-Muslim business establishments {I'm assuming they were non-Muslim. They *might* have included some run by slack Muslims - dda} that he was going to 'blow them up'. It was an 'or else'.

What he seems to me to have been trying to do was to impose a sharia-related rule: no doing business on Fridays. With the incredible arrogance of the average sharia-pusher, he was 'commanding right and forbidding wrong': he was marching into kafir businesses, in a kafir country, which - in defiance of the Islamic 'holiness' of Fridays - were open and doing business, and he was telling them to shut down, OR ELSE.

From the news report you posted:

"A Memphis man was arrested Friday after he walked into seven local businesses and announced that he would bomb them if they didn't close...

"The report states that Mohamed Ibrahim, 35, threatened businesses on Poplar Avenue, Summer Avenue, Mendenhall, Perkins and Danny Thomas Boulevard.

"If you don't close this place up, I'm going to blow it to pieces," Ibrahim told customers at the BP Gas Station on the 300 block of Poplar". END QUOTE

Do orthodox Jews go into Gentile businesses in Australia or the USA or Canada and threaten to blow them up unless they shut down during the Sabbath? Do Catholics, Evangelicals and Orthodox Christians march into the local shopping mall and threaten to blow it up unless it shuts down on Sundays?

Nope.

But a Muslim feels entitled to threaten and lay down the [sharia] law.

Islam is indeed a religion of Peace.

A peace here, an peace of you there.
