Islamic State urges Muslims to attack Times Square with pipe bombs

Sep 16, 2014 8:16 pm By Robert Spencer

NYC_-_Times_Square“To the Lone Wolves in America: How to Make a Bomb in Your Kitchen, to Create Scenes of Horror in Tourist Spots and Other Targets.” Why would they want to “create scenes of horror”? Could it have anything to do with the Qur’an’s command to “strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah (8:60)?

“ISIS supporters urged to attack Times Square with pipe bombs,” by Bruce Golding and Erin Calabrese, New York Post, September 16, 2014:

Supporters of the Islamic State terror group are being urged to attack Times Square and other popular American tourist attractions with easily assembled homemade bombs, according to a disturbing report Tuesday.

A message posted on an ISIS Web forum lists widely available ingredients needed to build a pipe bomb, and includes photos showing how to combine them into a deadly explosive device, Vocativ reported.

The Arabic-language message cites Times Square — the scene of a failed car-bomb attack in 2010 by al Qaeda sympathizer Faisal Shahzad — and the Las Vegas Strip as prime targets, but also suggests striking sites in Texas and mass-transit stations across the country.

The message is titled “To the Lone Wolves in America: How to Make a Bomb in Your Kitchen, to Create Scenes of Horror in Tourist Spots and Other Targets,” and was written three weeks ago.

But it “resurfaced” on Saturday afternoon, around the same time ISIS released a video of the beheading of British aid worker David Haines on the same Web forum, according to Vocativ.

NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton said cops were aware of the message, but added: “There are no credible, specific threats to the city at this time based on the latest intelligence.”…”

    These are the consequences of letting Muslims in the West!! What were our leaders thinking when they took this decision. Aren’t they familiar with Muslim history. All throughout history they have done nothing but invade, rape, loot murder, and on and on!!. What you gonna do now – call ghostbusters!!!

    For the sake of those non-combatants in Syria and Iraq, they’d better hope nobody does anything like this.

    The US may not have much stomach for putting boots on the ground, but I don’t see many objecting to extensive air strikes and drone runs.

      Rub Muslims’ noses in Muhammad’s ‘poop’.

      Stealth jihad pipe-bombers are not worried about air strikes and drone runs.
      They are addicted to their jihad vanity fix.

      We need to hit them hard, where it really hurts, repeatedly.
      We need to rub their noses in all the embarrassing stink of Islam.
      After every foiled plot we need to do a (real examination) of Islam in the news.
      No Islam whitewash. No Half-stepping!
      Every sickening depravity of Muhammad unveiled.
      “The Innocence of Muslims” film dissected.
      A mock-fest about Karpet Kissing Killer Muslims.
      Every sordid detail about Islamic depravity analyzed from child bride to honor killing incestuous Muslim daddies.

      Rub Muslims’ noses in Muhammad’s ‘poop’ nonstop until they learn to behave like decent human beings.

        Sorry , Jay Boo, but…it won’t work:

          Please look closer Salah, I was speaking figuratively.
          We need to rub their noses in all the embarrassing stink of Islam again and again.

          That will definitely work because a Muslims weak spot is vanity posing as if humility.

        I agree with you, but it ain’t going to happen…the media and our political elites will just go on denying that pipe bombs, beheading and Jihad have absolutely nothing to do with islam.

      • gravenimage says

        Sep 17, 2014 at 3:23 pm

        Jay Boo, devout Muslims don’t consider *any* of this Islamic ugliness embarrassing.

        Some Muslims may balk at some of its public unveiling, but only because it alerts *infidels* to the horrors of Islam, not because most of them consider these horrors *themselves*.

        We might think that the “Prophet’s” pedophilia with a nine-year-old child, or robbing caravans, or okaying the rape of female captives, or beheading up to 900 unarmed prisoners of war to be shameful—but pious Muslims don’t.

        They consider it a model to emulate.

        Any Muslim who considers this barbarism genuinely shameful is already half an apostate—and there are few enough of them.

        Nonetheless, I *do* agree with you about the information campaign—but not to shame Muslims—just to educate Infidels to the Jihad threat.

    Islamic State urges Muslims to attack Times Square with pipe bombs
    ………………………………

    Civilized people look at Times Square and think “New Year’s Eve” or “Broadway shows” or “iconic New York City landmark”—pious Muslims think “high-profile target with potential for enormous civilian carnage”.

    And, as noted, this is not the first time they’ve tried to bomb this famous square.

    As it happens, the second time I saw Times Square was when I was returning from the terrible WTC site in early 2003 when I was in New York for a conference.

    It was a life-affirming jumble of lights after the unrelieved darkness of the ruins at twilight.

    But Muslims would like to turn it into a smoking hole, as well.

    God, I hate Islam.

    According to Obama, when Muslims kill, using the Koran to justify their killing, it has nothing to do with Islam

    Sep 17, 2014 at 12:48 am

    SELF-DIRECTED JIHADISTS…Mohammed loved them! Mohammed encouraged self-directed jihad saying that the murderers had done ALLAH ALMIGHTY a favor!

    Allah needs Muslims to murder for him to prove their faith! But really, Allah can’t kill, because he doesn’t exist…he’s Mohammed’s hand puppet.

    • mortimer says

      Sep 17, 2014 at 12:57 am

      With a police chief like NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton, how many jihadists will get through the cracks? How many cops will fail to see the signs and fail to detect killers under their noses?

      Most Muslims DO support jihad.

      • Laura says

        Sep 17, 2014 at 1:49 pm

        Maybe the people of NYC could ‘police’ the area themselves, stopping and searching every shifty looking muslim (that would be 100%) and generally give them a tough time.

    An Isis Militant Speaks: I Gave Up Everything for Jihad – Now I’m Heading for London

    hamza insists that Isis has a clear aim, and insists that “establishing a rightly-guided caliphate on the pattern of the way of the Prophet Mohammed will secure protection and justice for the Muslims and enable them to practice their religion and worship without any discomfort.

    “We have to fight infidelity and the infidels until we eliminate them. So whoever proclaims their acceptance of Islam will be safe, and whoever doesn’t, then their fate will be similar to that of many infidels — they will be slaughtered and beheaded.

      If Muslims were the only people on the planet they would find excuses to butcher, rape and abuse each other because Islam at its core is based on the self-serving depravity of its false prophet satanic-verse quoting Muhammad.

      • Jay Boo says

        Sep 17, 2014 at 7:01 am

        All done of course in the name of Allah

      “We have to fight infidelity and the infidels until we eliminate them. So whoever proclaims their acceptance of Islam will be safe, and whoever doesn’t, then their fate will be similar to that of many infidels — they will be slaughtered and beheaded.
      ……………………………..

      Of course, a lot of those “Infidels” are actually Muslims—but they are either “heretics”—other-sect Muslims like Shia—or “apostates”—that is, the “insufficiently Islamic”.

      And that is why pious Muslims find plenty of people to murder, even in places like Afghanistan, Somalia, and Yemen, which are virtually 100% Muslim.

      In fact, as a general rule of thumb, the more Islamic a place is, the more a violent hell hole it is likely to be.

      Not surprisingly, there is no peace in Islam—not even for Muslims.

    Believe it or not apart from the lefties and dhimmi politicians, Islam has very little if any support among non-Muslims living in the west, people are beginning to wake up to Islam and many have had enough. I reckon one more terrorist attack on western soil, and the conversation will shift rapidly towards outlawing Islam altogether. A free liberal democracy already possesses all the tools needed to do just that.

  12. Angemon says

    Sep 17, 2014 at 6:03 am

    Most, if not all, non-muslims would consider what Times Square is, and how it came to be, a great achievement. Most, if not all, muslims would consider bombing Times Square into a smoking crater and killing many thousands to be a greater achievement.

    With this article is thus needs to be reiterated. Which is the the be the threat of deadly violence of a jihad attack in any American city from either ISIS operatives , Al Qaeda or any other like minded Islamic terror group may be a matter of some concern. Nevertheless, we as Americans should not live in fear or be afraid to go to different places or do different thing because of any fear from the Muslims stooges who want to engage in the jihad in homeland America. We need to keep on living our own lives without fear. For to live in fear would make the Islamic enemy happy. Even though we need not live in fear we still should have a balance a a be aware of anything that seems not to look quite right.Then tell the right person about it. As in “What’s wrong with this picture ?” As ,for example, the Tee-shirt vendor how saw some smoke come out of that parks van on Times Square at NY,NY and then let a police officer know about it. As it had been said “If you see something, say something.” To put it in another way, Thomas Jefferson stated it well when he said “Let the eye of vigilance never be closed.”

    Re: the headline: No need to worry too much about this, for we know that this danger is not systemic nor metastasizing — at least not so much to cause us to worry about the Trojan Camel in our midst and logically conclude that we must give it the Bum’s Rush — since we all know, of course, that most Muslims wouldn’t do this; and we know that all the Muslim-Americans who are citizens are magically immune from following their Islam; and we can surely exclude any “native American US citizen convert to islam who can trace his lineage back to the pre-Columbian era” from suspicion (at least from a suspicion that rationally would conclude to do something about it appropriate to the degree of danger it presents).

    • voegelinian says

      Sep 17, 2014 at 1:38 pm

      P.S.: And another factor to put our minds at ease: We have a magical formula by which to tell the difference between the Muslims who would plan and perpetrate (and/or enable) such razzias, and those who would never do same. At least that’s what the JW Softies say (or imply).

    Why let all the educated jihadist graduates from American universities who have studied things like chemistry etc, get all the media coverage? The low information terrorist can buy or steal an iron pipe and run amok in a crowd, causing lots of serious injuries,deaths, and panic.

    islam is a false gospel…follows a false prophet, and a false god, allah the moon god. But one thing is that this following is very dangerous. It is complete opposite of the Bible, God’s Word. It allows these idiots to be judge and executioner. These people are very sick with this brainwash. They can kill and murder, rape, and thief and robbery is ok with these fools.
    God says, ‘thou shall not kill, thou shall not commit adultery, thou shall not covet thy neighbors goods or wife. They have turned God’s word into sin and criminal descent.
