More on this story. "'Underwear bomber' pleads guilty on all charges," by Robert Snell and George Hunter for The Detroit News, October 12 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
Detroit— Accused "underwear bomber" Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab surprised the federal courtroom during the second day of his terrorism trial Wednesday by pleading guilty to all charges.His plea to eight charges came after he returned from a 45-minute recess, ending the most high-profile terrorism case in the United States since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The 25-year-old Nigerian and self-proclaimed al-Qaida operative faced up to life on the charges that include attempted murder, attempted use of weapons of mass destruction and conspiracy to commit terrorism, for his attempt to blow up a Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Detroit on Christmas Day 2009.
Abdulmutallab said Wednesday he tried to bomb the plane in retaliation for U.S. support of Israel and to avenge the killing of Muslims in Middle East.
He said the bomb was a "blessed weapon to save the lives of innocent Muslims."
"Participation in jihad against the United States is considered among the most virtuous of deeds in Islam and is highly encouraged in the Quran," Abdulmutallab told the judge, reading from a statement.
U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds earlier asked him if he wished to waive his right to a trial and plead guilty.
"That's right," he said....
"Guilty," Abdulmutallab said.
"And are you pleading because you believe you are guilty?" the judge asked him.
"Yes," he answered.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Tukel asked him if he carried an explosive device on board.
"If you say so," Abdulmutallab said.
"You knew it was an explosive, correct?" Tukel asked him.
"Yes," he answered.
"It was intended to explode?" Tukel asked him.
"Yes," Abdulmutallab answered....
"The United States should be warned," he said. "If the United States continues the blasphemy of Muhammad and the prophets and continues to support those who kill innocent Muslims, it should await a great calamity that will befall them at the hands of the mujahedeen soon or God will strike them directly with a great calamity soon. If you laugh at us now, we will laugh at you later in this life and at the day of judgment."...
He shouted "Allahu Akbar!" before being handcuffed and escorted out of the courtroom by a deputy U.S. Marshal....
You get treble virgins for killing Christians at Christmas (and treble virgins for killing Joooooz at any time) http://crombouke.blogspot.com/2011/03/islams-jihad-against-christmas.html
Some cognitive dissonce to throw Umar's way --- if the bomb was so "blessed", just what was Allah thinking when the bomb failed? Did Allah decide not to "save the lives of innocent Muslims" after all? Or maybe Allah cares for America more than you?
Abdulmutallab said Wednesday he tried to bomb the plane in retaliation for U.S. support of Israel and to avenge the killing of Muslims in Middle East.
For US support of the only country in the Middle East and North Africa where blacks LIKE HIMSELF are actually treated like human beings? If that isn't self-hatred, I don't know what else could be described as such in this world.
Underwear jihadi misunderstands Islam, says that "participation in jihad against the United States is considered among the most virtuous of deeds in Islam and is highly encouraged in the Quran"
.................................
Well, OK—the United States was not actually around when the Qur'an was "revealed", but it is very much of a piece with Muslim history. The West in general—and the United States in particular—are the new "Rum".
The Byzantine Empire—the original "Rum" or Rome of the dark-ages Bedouin horde—simply stood as the greatest single "obstacle" to the baleful spread of Islam. It was represented at various times by the Crusaders, by the French, by the British Empire, and now most prominently by America.

Of course, Imam Rauf would tell you how similar Islam is America, and how America is "Shari'ah compliant". But all he means by that is that he believes the US and the rest of the West will allow Shari'ah to spread through such Western values as freedom of speech and freedom of religion—in other words, that we will be too clueless or too suicidally virtuous to save ourselves from destruction.
In which case, he differs from the goals of underwear bomber Abdulmutallab not all—he only differs on tactics.

Funny how what is most "blessed" in Islam is always violence and death...
Another "blessed bomb".

Hey!
Where's Afghan Knight to explain all this away for us with his particular brand of Islamic eloquence?
Defender?
Horsey Boy?
Anyone?
Oh, never mind. Rot in prison, then rot in hell, bomber boy.
"Participation in jihad against the United States is considered among the most virtuous of deeds in Islam and is highly encouraged in the Quran."
This is the kind of quotes that Islamic terrorist often make but never reported in the MSM. It's as if the MSM just doesn't want the public alarmed at what Islam is really about. I would say the MSM is actually complicit in the Islamization of America by keeping so much of the public, that's too lazy to research, blissfully ready to accommodate what they think is a peaceful religion only hijacked by nuts. IMO the MSM deserves a lot of condemnation for their abject lack or educational responsibility on this.
Is a blessed bomb anything like a "Holy Grenade"?

The one good thing in this, if anything can be considered "good", is that more people that don't know much about pislam will be exposed to this crazy ideology by this news coverage. God I wish America will wake up.
Yep.
He'll be the cell-block byatch in no time.
Serves him right. He's a punk - ass Jihadi with a "Burnt Weeny Sandwich", a la FZ.
His "deformity" will be something of an interesting "oddity" in the showers. Detroit is one WRONG place to be in prison.
He'll be getting some serious hurt put on him, and soon.
