Leboon identifies himself as a Shi'ite Muslim -- and certainly his vicious antisemitism is in keeping with Islamic attitudes toward Jews (cf. Qur'an 5:82, 5:59-60, etc.). "Phila. man charged with threatening GOP's No2 in Congress," by Joseph A. Slobodzian for the Philadelphia Inquirer, March 29 (thanks to Pamela):
A Northeast Philadelphia man has been charged with threatening the life of a Virginia Congressman and his family in an Internet video studded with Old Testament references and referring to the "final Yom Kippur."Norman Leboon, 38, of the 1600 block of Benner Street in Mayfair, was charged by the U.S. Attorney's office in Philadelphia with two counts involving threats against U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor (R., Va.), the Republican House whip.
Leboon was arrested Saturday by the FBI, three days after his YouTube video was seen by someone in San Francisco and reported to the FBI....
But of course, he is crazy -- a claim that would be more convincing if it weren't trotted out virtually every time a Muslim commits a jihad attack:
Reed said Leboon had a history of mental illness and that he would undergo a psychiatric evaluation.In his YouTube video, Leboon referred to himself as the "son of the God of Enoch," an apparent reference to the character from the biblical Book of Genesis who was the son of Cain and the father of Methusulah.
Referring to the Jewish holy day of atonement, Leboon's video warned Cantor: "Remember, Eric . . . our judgment time, the final Yom Kippur has been given." The video then refers to Cantor as "Lucifer, you're a pig . . . you're an abomination."
Leboon has one prior arrest, an open case in Philadelphia charging him with terroristic threats, assault and recklessly endangering another person....
Leboon has a history of mental illness. After all, he's a Muslim.
It seems that electing a Muslim to the White House is emboldening them within the USA.
From the article…
“…But of course, he is crazy -- a claim that would be more convincing if it weren't trotted out virtually every time a Muslim commits a jihad attack.”
“…Reed said Leboon had a history of mental illness and that he would undergo a psychiatric evaluation.”

Odd how Islam is making those with a history of mental illness ‘Go Postal’, oops, I meant to say ‘Go Jihad’ on such a regular basis.
Whatever could be the problem? Hmmm… Maybe, just maybe, it is the texts and traditions of the religion itself? Ya think??
Compare the number of religiously motivated crimes of Muslims to the number of religiously motivated Christian, Jewish, Hindu and Buddhist crimes and you’ll have your answer.
The sad fact of the matter is that Muslims CAN, and DO, justify their crimes with Islamic theology.
The religion of peace? – Hardly. The religion of Justice? – Far from it.
I am an ex-Muslim.

Crazy? Just as crazy as a ....................jihadist?
I know I am not alone in believing this, but sometimes Robert Spencer tries desperate measures to try and link Islam to every crime committed by anyone.
NOTHING this guy has said or done shows he is doing it in the name of Islam except that he is a Shia' faith. But guess what - 1/4 people in the world are Muslims ! That means that there is a 25% chance that any crime committed somewhere in the world is done by someone who is a Muslim (or of Muslim heritage). But this also means that about 25%-30% of the world's crimes are committed by Christians and/or Jews (self-professing or by heritage).
It is one thing to have a guy who openly says I am doing this in the name of Islam, but to pick out some random nut who is posting YouTube videos that happens to be Muslim and to try and link that to the global Islamic Extremist movement is not only ridiculous but is petty. You can do better than this, Mr. Robert Spencer !

Only 1/6 of the world's population is Muslim (there are around a billion Muslims), not 1/4 as you state.
Also, where do you get your figure that 25%-30% of crimes are committed by Christians and/or Jews? How many are committed by Buddhists, Hindus and atheists then? Are you just dividing up these percentages up as if dividing a pie between all the different faiths/non-faiths of the world? Your reasoning assumes that because there is X% of people in the world, then these people are committing X% of crimes, that is, an equal percentage of crimes.
However, if you look at the number of Muslims in jails across the world, especially in Europe, you'll find that although they are minorities in certain countries, they make up the majority of criminals in those prisons.
The important thing to realise is that, if you take Christianity as a parallel example, although there are roughly equal numbers of Muslims and Christians throughout the world, you are only finding Muslims going around blowing themselves up, killing non-Muslims and demanding the expansion of their "faith" and justifying this theologically based on Islam and the example of Mohammed. Christians aren't doing what Muslims are doing based on the example of Jesus. Daily we hear reports of Muslims killing and rampaging at various points around the globe in the name of Islam.
Although anti-semitism exists outside of Islam, the fact that this guy in the video was expressing such sentiments which shadow the Koran, it's fair to say that Islam has impacted his thinking. I think you can do better Channe - Robert Spencer has proven his worth in tomes he's written time and again.
The repeated incidence of claims for Muslim violence being linked to psychological problems inspires three questions:
(1) What are the general attitudes within the various Muslim communities towards psychological treatment?
(2) How accessible are such treatements to them?
(3) Do Muslim clerics provide the type of counseling that other religious leaders do?
Q. How can you tell if a Muslim terrorist is insane. A. There is no answer.
Sheik abdul Raman - 1st world trade bomber was frequently
passed off by his Jersey City neighbors as just another crazy old man. Thought he should be pitied. Any muslim
mouthing off on killing a congressman needs to be taken at his word. Watch them turn him loose so he can finally succeed in killing the next person who crosses him. Those
same JC neighbors lost their birth certificates because the
Sheiks little henchman were given jobs in the Bureau of Vital Statistics and started manufacturing false documents for their illegal buddies, Anyone born in JCNJ now has to go to Trenton and prove their identity as American citizens
just like I and my relatives had to. If it happened there you can bet your sweet it may also be occuring where you live. If you can't produce your birth certificate and you are unfortunate enough NOT to be Barrack Hussein Obama you are are in effect an alien until you can do so. We
have so very much to thank our muslim friends for !
