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

Idaho Muslim wanted to detonate bomb at park during July 4 celebration

Jul 27, 2015 10:06 pm By Robert Spencer

Fazliddin KurbanovBoise, Idaho. Did the citizens of Boise “provoke” Fazliddin Kurbanov? Did they draw cartoons of Muhammad? Did they “poke Muslims in the eye”?

“Informant: Terrorism suspect named Boise as possible attack target,” by Katie Terhune, KTVB, July 27, 2015:

BOISE –A confidential FBI source testified Monday that Boise may have been among the intended targets of terrorism suspect Fazliddin Kurbanov.

The informant met Kurbanov in January 2013 at a truck-driving school in Salt Lake City, Utah. The suspect had gone there in hopes of getting a job, while the informant had been planted in the class by the FBI.

The FBI source said Kurbanov told him he wanted to detonate a bomb at a public park during a Fourth of July celebration.

The suspect allegedly said a Boise park would make a good target due to the crowds and high number of military families that would be in attendance.

“All those people, they bring their families,” the informant testified Kurbanov told him. “In Boise, Idaho there’s a lot of military families. They bring their families to show (them) the fireworks.”

Ann Morrison Park, which hosts Boise’s fireworks show and all-day activities, drew thousands of people on Independence Day this year.

Kurbanov told the source his other preferred target would be a military base. He drove to the Mountain Home Air Force Base near Boise to check out the location, he said.

“He was watching where is the gate, where is the base located… so he could plan an attack,” the informant testified.

Kurbanov told the source the FBI increased their surveillance of him after he visited the air base. He ultimately set his sights instead on bombing a military installment in New York or Texas, according to the witness.

“He told me he would love to blow up the base in Texas because it’s Bush’s state,” the informant said, referring to former President George W. Bush.

Kurbanov is accused of stockpiling ingredients to make bombs – including fertilizer, black powder and acetone – in his apartment on Curtis Road in Boise. Federal investigators say in addition to plotting a terrorist attack, Kurbanov was also trying to send money and software to the Taliban-linked group the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan….

    “Kurbanov is accused of stockpiling ingredients to make bombs – including fertilizer, black powder and acetone – in his apartment on Curtis Road in Boise.”

    Gee, I wonder how this pos obtained “his apartment on Curtis Road in Boise”? Could this scumbag possibly have been brought to the U.S. as a “refugee”???????

      Most likely this POS was “dumped here by Obama, in his Illegal Alien Invasion of America.” There are many of these Hateful Bastards, who want to kill Americans, and I BLAME Obama and his crooked regime for putting OUR Citizens of America in DANGER. IF, Obama called these creeps OUT, and said it would be a Islamic/Muslim Terrorist that we WILL GO AFTER, but instead, he’s called out our “retired military as possible domestic terrorists….so does his ‘co-president, Valerie Jarrett who was born in Iran I’d bet.”
      The REAL truth about Obama and his “Cloward-Piven” agenda, NEEDS TO BE EXPOSED TO OUR REPUBLIC AND IT’S PEOPLE, AS HE RIDICULES MANY WHO OPPOSE HIM(per his following Saul Alinsky’s “Rules For Radicals”(ridicule for one’s enemy is one of the rules-He taught Marxist Alinsky’s to Acorn Thugs.

    I find it hard to believe this clown didn’t stand out like a sore thumb in Idaho.

      I believe that he did, but mentioning it would be “bigoted” and “islamophobic”.

    This story shocked me. But then in some ways it’s hard to blame Muslims for wanting to wage Jihad, and mass-murder men women and children, and gang-rape non-Muslim girls etc. That’s the cult. They’re the values of Muhammad, his practices, his teachings, his goals in life.

    If you let rabid dogs into a shopping mall, who’s to blame – the rabid dogs for biting everyone in sight, or the person who let them in?

    Muslims are rabid. They have the most serious brain-virus the world has ever known. For incontrovertible proof, ask any moderate Muslim if they can reject Muhammad’s head-choppings, his rapes, his stoning people to death, his pedophilia, his torturing, his enslavements and slave-trading, his theft of others’ lands and goods.

    Yes, some Muslims can be cured and reject Muhammad. Most can’t.

    So of course Muslims need to be dealt with – Islam outlawed, and Muslims stripped of citizenship, and deported wherever possible. But who are the NON-Muslims who imported the Jihadis? WHO granted Jihadis citizenship – of all people? Who promotes their causes even today? Who VALIDATES Muhammad (and all his crimes) as a “prophet”? When is an official inquiry going to be held as to how WAR was brought INSIDE the USA?

    It’s like importing Nazis into the US during WW2, and then being shocked when they committed Nazi acts, impatient for the Third Reich to arrive. Yes, you would need to deal with the Nazis, but unless you get galvanized to deal with the traitors who imported them, who aided and abetted them, who groomed them and enraged them with “Naziophobia” stories, you’ll never solve the problem once and for all time.

    Islam attracts converts who already have a few screws loose…
    Another type of convert are ‘seekers’, who try a little of everything and are not likely to stick with the rigors of Islam.
    A seeker would revolt upon reading the Quran, no other religion they have tasted demands anything like jihad. ‘Islams god want’s me to do what’??? ‘Kill who’?? And so they run away…Criminals with a murderous disposition however, have found a home. Islam does not fit all criminals or more would be converting, but the number sucked up by Allah are a problem.
    Prisons should be a place of punishment, not a place for da’wah, no one should give it and no one should receive it.

    I was shocked to read about this individual. I have been a Boise resident for years, and never had I thought that Jihadi violence could take place here. However, we do have a large Somali population and recently while shopping with my wife at the local Wal-Mart we saw a (woman?) dressed in a burka; (no part of her face, not even her eyes) was visible. A few months ago I encountered a large number of Somalis marching down the street, all dressed in Islamic garb and many with angry expressions on their faces.

    My nephew and his family recently moved to Minneapolis. He is in the Army and troops there are not permitted to wear their uniforms off base in order to minimize terrorist incidents. What a shame to see this country in its initial stages of islamization.
