Chicago: Muslim with Islamic State flag on car threatens cops with bomb

Aug 28, 2014 7:26 pm By Robert Spencer

ISIS-on-the-Temple-MountMaybe he was just enraged by their Islamophobic failure to realize that it was a flag of peace, or by the illegal Zionist occupation of the Southwest Side of Chicago. “Man with ISIS flag on vehicle threatens cops with bomb,” Chicago Sun-Times, August 28, 2014 (thanks to Free Expression):

A man who had an ISIS flag waving from his vehicle is facing several charges after he threatened police with a bomb Wednesday morning when he was pulled over on the Southwest Side.

Emad Karakrah, 49, was charged with felony counts of disorderly conduct and aggravated fleeing; and a misdemeanor count of driving on a never-issued license, according to Chicago Police. He was also issued three traffic citations.

Someone called police after seeing a “suspicious person” driving a silver Pontiac southbound in the 7700 block of South Kedzie at 9:18 a.m. with an ISIS flag waving out the window, according to a police report.

Officers attempted to pull over the vehicle, but the driver took off, according to the report. The officers called for assistance, and another officer pulled the vehicle over after it went through several red lights.

The man told police during his arrest that there was a bomb in the car and he would detonate it if they searched the vehicle, according to the report.

A bomb squad, the FBI and Homeland Security responded to the scene and searched the vehicle, but no bomb was found, authorities said.

Judge Laura Sullivan ordered Karakrah held on a $55,000 bond Thursday. He is next scheduled to appear in court on Sept. 3.

    Seems like an ordinary, law-abiding citizen to me–quick, let’s contact Chicagoland CAIR!

        Looks like Major Hasan’s brother:

        I hope immigration checks his status.

    I suspect “Kingpin” is here to discredit Jihad Watch with bizarre white eugenics posts. His theories last had major appeal in the US with Progressives in the early 20th Century like Margaret Sanger or Woodrow Wilson. So even if that link has nothing to do with eugenics, I’m not clicking it.

    If It’s oil, which I saw him post about recently, yeah, drill more an up our refining capacity. Open new lands to exploration, especially federal lands. Frack away. My plan is probably shorter and more readable.

    As for the actual topic of this thread, I suspect we’re just beginning to see the tip of a large and expanding iceberg.

      Ismael–you sly one! You have more sock-puppets than a “genetically damaged” Bedouin inseminator of Nordic women has offspring!

      It seems my Visigothic and Lombard ancestors were already “genetically damaged” by Carthaginian, Berber, and Greek admixtures before those massively inseminating, ever-multiplying Arabs ever descended on them. I don’t know, in retrospect, how much those facts might have ultimately impaired my intellectual capacity, though.

      Throw in Jew and Gypsy and we’re cooking up quite a stew. Margaret Sanger would turn her patrician Hiberno-English nose in disgust.

    We’ve sure come a long way in the 13 years since 911. Instead of American flags on cars, we have Islamic State head-hacker hankies, expat jihadists and a justice department that sues communities that zone out mosques. I shudder to think what the next 13 years will bring.

      That will undoubtedly depend on who you vote into power in the midterm and presidential elections. As they say, “elections have consequences”.

    “Man with ISIS flag on vehicle threatens cops with bomb,”

    “Boston [Marathon Bomb] Suspect’s Sister Charged in NY Bomb Threat,”

    Gee, what is it with Muslims and bombs?

    How brazen!!!!! These folks seem to think that they can do anything they want to. I hope they throw everything at him. They need to learn they can’t do whatever they want. I hope they put him in jail for a long time.

    They’ll probably find out later on a background check he holds a job in the federal government…
