Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

New York jihadi Muslimas considered attacking NYPD funeral

Apr 3, 2015 8:53 am By Robert Spencer

noelle_velentzas_asia_siddiqiThe Islamic State has called upon Muslims in the West to mount jihad attacks against police. “Terror suspects considered attacking NYPD funeral,” CBS News, April 3, 2015:

An undercover informant said the women expressed interest in pressure cooker bombs like the ones used in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings, and Velentzas indicated her preferred targets were cops or the military, rather than civilians.

In December of last year, they considered attacking the funeral of one of the two NYPD officers who had been killed two weeks earlier in an ambush attack in Brooklyn.

Valentzas called it “an attractive potential target.”

The imam of the mosque in Queens attended by both women said they are being falsely accused and described Velentzas and her family as a positive force in the community.

“They have been here five years. I have not seen any signs of them being radicalized or promoting radical Islam, none of that stuff,” he said.

The women, who are U.S. citizens and former roommates who lived in a house in Jamaica, Queens, appeared in federal court Thursday afternoon after an early morning raid of their homes.

According to law enforcement officials, the women expressed violent jihadist beliefs and a desire to execute a terrorist attack on American soil.

According to court documents, Velentzas told an undercover informant that “she did not understand why people were traveling overseas to wage jihad when there were more opportunities of ‘pleasing Allah’ here in the United States.”

The documents also said the two women spent months researching how to make bombs, discussing targets and stockpiling the materials. Authorities became concerned when the women obtained several canisters of propane gas, but police say there was no imminent threat….

    “They have been here five years. I have not seen any signs of them being radicalized or promoting radical Islam, none of that stuff,” (the Moslima’s imam) said.

    Blind imams of actual or would be Jihad mass murderers is a pattern. There are two possible causes in addition to the imams’ implicit claim to a third, that being the Moslem went insane for some inexplicable reason and there is no connection to Islam:

    1) The imams are spouting taquiyya; their “there were no signs of radicalization” are outright lies, as is commanded by the doctrine of taqiyya, or

    2) The imams are smirking to themselves, thinking that it is true that there was no radicalization, because Islam itself is radical. It is “pre-perverted,” so to speak.

    Or both. Probably both. Number two was elucidated by the Supreme Leader of Persia a few years ago, and he has credibility as our premier negotiating partner.

      The mullahs do nothing to discourage ‘radicalization’…how could they? Discouraging jihad would make the mullahs heretics who should be executed!

        Al-Sisi should seek asylum in a Western nation to avert having his apostate head chopped off by an angry mob who understand his assault on the Holy Ko-Ran.

        But he should not seek asylum in the United States, cuz if he did President Obama would just turn him in and hand him over to his expressed allies, the Mo-Bro-Hood, who are a vengeful bunch.

      APF, Imam Charles Aziz Bilal has a long career of trying to block any Infidel investigations into violent Jihad, claiming that such violate Muslim’s rights and are not conducive to “peace”.

      He also has a long forty-year criminal rap sheet, but that is a separate issue…

      Oh, wait a minute, but the imman in the mosque ”’ vouched” for them! That out’ta do it! Well, now. That makes me feel REALLY SAFE! Bah! We are fighting a war on our very streets with these mentally bankrupt and morally reprehensive people who follow a psychopahic 7th century barbarian named Muhammed. OUR LEADERS in Congress and the SENATE and OUR SURPREME COURT need to declare mosques ineligible for RELIGIOUS TAX EXEMPTION – and have JUSTICE DEPT. start the closing of the terrorists mosques and anyone even associated with seditious organizations, such as CAIR to start with, charged for SEDITION and TREASON against the United States of America. AT LEAST we seem to be catching some of them. I don’t know how the Justice Dept or Police Departments are doing it – perhaps enough people disagree and are now turning these people in for their planned murders of us.

    God help the police. ISIS has pointed out that all Muslims are potential enemies of the police.

    Muhammad isn’t prophet. He’s a liar, who believed a lie straight from the pit of hell.

    A message from God has true impact on your life. God is love. Not some war monger.

    A true message from God…. is from God.

    “What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life and the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us– what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ. These things we write, so that our joy may be made complete.”

    “This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.”

    1John1:1-10

    The Word of God….

    Living.

    Active.

    Sharper than any two edged sword.

      So, so true. A vast difference between Jehovah-Jirah and the false god of islam, which is actually satan, drawing souls into everlasting torment.

      Seek Jesus! He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him!

        Sometimes I wonder what is the point of posting what amount to sermons, ending up with calls to action like this..
        .’Seek Jesus! He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him’!
        There is nothing particularly wrong with seeking Jesus, but on JW who is the intended audience? The many Christians who post here have already done that, people of other faiths like Hindus, pious Mahoundians and atheists are not interested. So who is it for?

          There is always a ‘point’ to encouraging all to seek Jesus, the Christ. It’s called ‘ bearing witness’.

          And there is never a better time to do so than right now, Good Friday. On this day we were all redeemed by our Savior, who died on a cross. For us. For the muslims. For all.

          A blessed Easter and Passover to all here on this site! And may God bless and preserve these our United States, founded on our precious Judeo-Christian precepts.

          I see duh_swami’s point
          For what it is worth, I would guess that:
          While Gary may mean well, his message would have a much better chance of ‘bearing witness’ on a topic concerning persecution of Christians. Instead, by him including the two large paragraphs quotes, it is more likely to alienate non-Christians.

          In contrast Kathy Brown’s comment is much better way of expressing (bearing witness) because it is still (in this case) on topic since she is commenting on the comment and it is a simple and direct statement of belief rather long quotes.

    And so it starts moving faster. More and more of this crap is going to be popping up every day. The safety of the people is not to be left up to law/security agencies only. ALL the people are going to have to keep their eyes and ears open. The security of the people lies largely with the people. These agencies CAN NOT cover ALL the bases, they need help.
    Back in the 1930’s 40’s & 50’s none of this crap(terrorism) could happen because the neighborhoods were tight nit communities that worked, played and talked together. Muslims want their own communities not just to be together but to hide the murderers among them.

      This is true and what strengthen the cohesion back then was respect for God and American values and government leadership that reflected those values. Doesnt exist anymore thanks to secularism and liberalism. We need to bring those values back with a vengeance. Lets start by getting rid of Obama.

      There were no more than a handful of Muslims in the US in the 1930s, ’40s, and ’50s, which is the main reason they were not a threat.

      And Muslim neighborhoods themselves are rather close-knit—just not in the positive way that you mean.

      • Joseph says

        Apr 4, 2015 at 1:28 am

        I did say it was to hide the murderers among them. Yes there was not that many Muckers back then, but could you imagine if we had these infidel neighborhoods now?? You could walk the streets at night and not be afraid. This goes for all crime too.

    New York jihadi Muslimas considered attacking NYPD funeral
    …………………………

    More and more we are going to see Jihadists targeting police. Why? Because police are tasked with protecting Infidels, and Muslims want to see us unprotected. In fact, it possible that this ambush was itself a Jihad attack.

    And that they would target a funeral is especially heinous, but hardly without precedent. In fact, Jihadists regularly attack funerals in Dar-al-Islam.

    More:

    The imam of the mosque in Queens attended by both women said they are being falsely accused and described Velentzas and her family as a positive force in the community.
    …………………………

    Of course he did—this is Imam Charles Aziz Bilal, who has made a career out of trying to prevent any legal prevention of violent Jihad—when he’s not being busted for soliciting prostitutes, that is…

    More:

    According to court documents, Velentzas told an undercover informant that “she did not understand why people were traveling overseas to wage jihad when there were more opportunities of ‘pleasing Allah’ here in the United States.”

    Obama has invited many muslim brotherhood members to the white house.
    To watch full documentary  on THE PROJECT go to youtube THE PROJECT
    https://youtu.be/7BEyf6pPdyc
    Muslim Brotherhood Project

    Below is the Muslim Brotherhood’s 1982 manifesto titled “The Project”, penned by Sa’id Ramadan, the son-in-law of Hassan al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood.*

    The Project was distributed to Muslim Brotherhood members around the world who were ordered to strictly guard The Project’s content from outsiders. They did so until November of 2001 when a copy of The Project was discovered during a police raid of a senior Muslim Brotherhood financier’s home in Switzerland.*

    The Project outlined the Muslim Brotherhood’s 25 strategies, including the deception of Taqiyya, to infiltrate and to eventually subjugate the rest of the world under Islam, the “Religion of Peace” as follows (elements of particular intrigue are in boldface):

    1.  Network and coordinate actions between like-minded Islamists organizations;

    2.  Avoid open alliances with known terrorist organizations and individuals to maintain the appearance of “moderation”;

    3.  Infiltrate and take over existing Muslim organizations to realign them towards the Muslim Brotherhood’s collective goals;

    4.  Use deception to mask the intended goals of Islamist actions, as long as it doesn’t conflict with Sharia law;

    5.  Avoid social conflicts with Westerners locally, nationally or globally, that might damage the long-term ability to expand the Islamist powerbase in the West, including the support of full-time administrators and workers;

    6.  Conduct surveillance, obtain data, and establish collection and data storage capabilities;

    Muslim Brotherhood Project7.  Put into place a watchdog system for monitoring Western media to warn Muslims of international plots fomented against them;

    8.  Cultivate an Islamist intellectual community, including the establishment of think-tanks and advocacy groups, and publishing “academic” studies, to legitimize Islamist positions and to chronicle the history of Islamist movements;

    9.  Develop a comprehensive 100-year plan to advance Islamist ideology throughout the world;

    10. Balance international objectives with local flexibility;

    11. Build extensive social networks of schools, hospitals and charitable organizations dedicated to Islamist ideals so that contact with the movement for Muslims in the West is constant;

    12. Involve ideologically committed Muslims in democratically-elected institutions on all levels in the West, including government, NGOs, private organizations and labor unions;

    13. Instrumentally use existing Western institutions until they can be converted and put into service of Islam;

    14. Draft Islamic constitutions, laws and policies for eventual implementation;

    15. Avoid conflict within the Islamist movements on all levels, including the development of processes for conflict resolution;

    16. Institute alliances with Western “progressive” organizations that share similar goals;

    17. Create autonomous “security forces” to protect Muslims in the West;

    18. Inflame violence and keep Muslims living in the West “in a Jihad frame of mind”;

    19. Support Jihad movements across the Muslim world through preaching, propaganda, personnel, funding, and technical and operational support;

    20. Make the Palestinian Issue a global wedge cause for Muslims;

    21. Adopt the total liberation of Palestine from Israel and the creation of an Islamic state as a keystone in the plan for global Islamic domination;

    22. Instigate a constant campaign to incite hatred by Muslims against Jews and reject any discussions of conciliation or coexistence with them;

    23. Actively create Jihad terror cells within Palestine;

    24. Link the terrorist activities in Palestine with the global terror movement;

    25. Collect sufficient funds to indefinitely perpetuate and support Jihad around the world.

    * After the 1982 discovery of The Project in Switzerland, the Muslim Brotherhood quickly employed the deception of Taqiyya to try to distance itself from the document. The strategies outlined above,

    Spread of Islam

    The spread of Islam is not a new phenomenon. Ever since Muhammad’s troops spread out from Mecca in the 7th century, Islam has been expanding globally. But the spread of Islam in Western democracies is a new trend and one that is gaining momentum.

    This spread of Islam in Western nations is led by the Muslim Brotherhood and other international Islamic groups that endeavor to maximize the spread of Sharia law and Islam in the targeted nations while minimizing detection and push-back. This is achieved in five phases:

    Spread of IslamPhase 1: Arrival

    When the first Muslims arrive in a Western democracy, they keep a low profile and make few if any demands on the host nation. Many quietly work as students, business owners, professors, doctors and other professionals, making good first impressions and gaining vocational respect.

    Phase 2: Recognition

    When a sufficient number of Muslims gather, they request recognition of the Sharia law being applied within their own community. To preempt resistance and suspicions, they publicly condemn “radical” Islam and even seek well-publicized inter-faith dialogue and gatherings.

    They position Islam as a religion of peace whose Sharia law is not a threat to the host nation, especially since it would never be applied outside the Muslim community. Often, they are supported by the host nation’s un-informed leaders who are eager to be seen as “progressive”.

    Phase 3: Penetration

    When Muslims gain critical mass in a few cities, they begin to penetrate the host society. They create an alphabet soup of front and umbrella organizations that inflate their reach and unity, and use them to lobby the government, support (pro-)Muslim political candidates, conduct public relations campaigns and file lawsuits against alleged islamophobia, pressure public schools with Muslim students to hold prayers towards Mecca, endow Islamic studies departments at universities, place imams as ‘chaplains’ in armed forces and prison units.

    Sharia The Only SolutionPhase 4: Confrontation

    When Muslims become a significant minority in the host country, they demand incorporating into its legal system elements of the Sharia law. Often, this demand is made while “rogue” elements from the Muslim community threaten or engage in violence (e.g., Europe and UK).

    Phase 5: Imposition

    When the Muslim population becomes the majority and/or Islam gains control of a nation (e.g., Taliban in Afghanistan), Sharia law is imposed on the host society, which is then locked down against non-Islamic influences, including Christianity. The ideal Islamic state is Saudi Arabia, where Sharia law is the only law of the land and enforced without mercy. https://youtu.be/7BEyf6pPdyc
