“This recipe gives you the ability to make a car bomb even in countries with tight security and surveillance.” And we have already seen a car bomb that cam very close to exploding and murdering untold numbers of people in Times Square. This is only a matter of time, but remember: to oppose it and call for stronger action against the ideology that gives rise to this hatred and violence would be “Islamophobic.”
“Al Qaeda magazine hints of looming attack; urges bombing of Vegas, military targets,” by Lisa Daftari, FoxNews.com, August 28, 2014 (thanks to Hastings):
A new English-language Al Qaeda magazine features a how-to article on making car bombs and suggests terror targets in the United States, including casinos in Las Vegas, oil tankers and military colleges, and implies that an attack is imminent.
The online publication, called “Palestine-Betrayal of the Guilty Conscience Al-Malahem” and put out by the media arm of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, or AQAP, calls for Muslims around the world to follow “the recipe” provided to set off car bombs in crowded venues. It includes a timeline of “selected jihadi operations” that the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), which first flagged the slickly-produced latest edition of the terror publication, finds chilling.
“The timeline concludes with the date 201?’ and blank spaces and question marks for the photo and information of the next attack — implying that it is coming soon.” said MEMRI Executive Director Steve Stalinsky.
There is a suggested list of targets for lone-wolf, or individually executed, terror attacks, including New York’s Times Square, casinos and night clubs in Las Vegas, oil tankers and trains, the Georgia Military College, the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, and General Atomics defense contractor in San Diego.
“This recipe gives you the ability to make a car bomb even in countries with tight security and surveillance,” one article reads, before providing a “shopping list” of supplies needed to make such a bomb, including cooking gas, oxygen gas, a barometer, decoration lamps and matches.
There is also a list of targets in Britain including a military academy and the Marks and Spencers chain of department stores. The magazine calls for the stores to be hit on Friday during prayers so that Muslims won’t be affected.
Globally, AQAP calls for the targeting of tourist resorts frequented by Israelis, Britons and Americans.
In a nine-page spread entitled, “How to make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom,” the magazine details a do-it-yourself, illustrated guide on assembling a pressure-cooker bomb similar to the ones used in the Boston Marathon bombings.
“My Muslim brother, before you start reading the instructions, remember that this type of operation if prepared well and an appropriate target is chosen and Allah decrees success for you, history will never forget it. It will be recorded as a crushing defeat on the enemies of Islam,” the article says.
The “Palestine” magazine is a spin-off of AQAP’s Inspire magazine, which mainly encourages and instructs jihadi recruits to carry out lone-wolf attack in the West. This new magazine is meant to play upon the recent anti-Israel and anti-U.S. sentiments brought about by the conflict between Hamas and Israel.
“Both AQAP and IS, as well as every other Al-Qaeda branch and offshoot is relying on U.S. social media companies including Twitter and YouTube for their cyber-Jihad efforts,” said Stalinsky, whose organization monitors the online and media activity of Jihadi groups and reported on the release of this publication.
This list comes as U.S. intelligence investigates the increased chances of a terror attack on American soil as Islamic State militants continue on their rampage in Iraq and Syria.
On Tuesday, the Pentagon confirmed reports of the death on a Syrian battlefield of American Douglas McCain, of San Diego, who was recruited to Syria to fight for IS.Now, the Free Syrian Army is reporting that a second American may have died in the same battle.
“There could be some envy by AQAP that IS is now getting all the headlines,” Stalinsky said in response to the probability of an Al Qaeda-backed attack.

Probably because Sen. Harry Reid made those cracks on Asians.

Is this a case of ISIS envy? Perhaps a new phenomenon is emerging among Islamic supremacists?

Either we defeat Islam or we learn to walk around wearing portable back-pack bomb shelters.
SallyA says
@ Jay Boo – good one! Laughed for 5 minutes. Laughter is a relief from knowing about the Islamic evil, so thanks.

SallyA,
Why did you change your moniker from “JanFourowls” to now “SallyA”?
And while you were posting as “JanFourowls” you told us that you weren’t coming back …so what gives?

SallyA says
@ Champ – huh??????????????
disgusted says
Why do you care if Jan comes back? Isn’t she allowed to change her mind? You, a self-proclaimed “Christian” (who picks on others for snide remarks), made some very nasty (and snide) remarks toward a fellow poster. It would have been better to extend grace and mercy (or just silence, if that was all you could muster). So much for the doctrines of mercy and forgiveness. I love how you spout Bible verses but don’t know how to live out your so-called faith. I cringe every time I see your posts, to the point where I try to overlook them. (And I wish I had in this case. Really, so what if Jan comes back, even if she posts under a different name? For crying out loud!)
And no, I am not Jan. Just someone who is thoroughly disgusted by your “Christian” behavior.
Champ says
SallyA,
Ok, if you are not the former poster “JanFourowls”, then I apologize.

The consequence of the Islamic core tenet of “commanding what is just and forbidding what is evil.” (al-amr bil maruf wa nahy an al-munkar)
Sura 3.110
Ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah. If only the People of the Book had faith, it were best for them: among them are some who have faith, but most of them are perverted transgressors.
Sura 3.104
Let there be people among you, who invite to the best [in religion]; and command that which is just, and forbid that which is evil; and they shall be successful.
Sura 7.157
“Those who follow the apostle, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures), – in the law and the Gospel; – for he commands them what is just and forbids them what is evil; he allows them as lawful what is good (and pure) and prohibits them from what is bad (and impure); He releases them from their heavy burdens and from the yokes that are upon them. So it is those who believe in him, honour him, help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him, – it is they who will prosper.”
Sura 9.71
And the faithful men, and the faithful women are friends one to another: They command that which is just, and they forbid that which is evil; and they are constant at prayer, and pay their appointed alms; and they obey God, and his apostle: Unto these will God be Merciful; for He [is] Mighty [and] Wise.
The core business of Mutawin, the enforcers of public morality. Everything that detracts believers and non-believers from the worship of Allah alone is considered shirk, reprehensible idolatry, the collective sin of society as a whole.
Which is why Khomeini said:
“There can be no fun in Islam,….etc.” Fun itself constitutes shirk in Islam, no matter where the enjoyment originates !!!
Let’s just keep reminding ourselves of what Islam is all about: submission to Allah alone ! Just remind yourself of it any time you see posters hanging around in London boroughs, for instance ! (no alcohol, no gambling, no smoking,…etc.)

Case Study of Shari’a Zones in London and Lessons From Further a Field “:

Why not Vegas? It seems appropriate. We made a big bet on Moslems by rewarding the Iraqis with the dole in Dearborn, and the Somalis in Minneapolis. The country has made a gigantic wager on Moslems, for no apparent reason, and underwrites it to this day with dole money, U.S. taxpayer dollars.
Trouble is, in Vegas the house takes a vig but you can win. You can never win with Moslems. Nobody ever has, and nobody ever will.

that’s interesting, Al Malahim (i.e., Sami/Anwar) as well as IS precursors, chechens, Turks, and variety other AQ types) used to subscribe to my YT channel that had the largest archive of both jihad and counterjihad vids and they always spelled it Al Malahim not Al Malahem, it’s same in arabic of course, but someone using different vowel when translated sheds some light on translator

Wanna make it interesting? 50 bucks says they hit Las Vegas first.
