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

Sweden: Muslim bought components for Boston-style pressure cooker bomb

Apr 7, 2016 12:15 pm By Robert Spencer

He wanted to join the Islamic State but was prevented. So apparently he decided to wage jihad in Sweden. I’ve warned many times that Muslims from European countries (and the U.S.) who are prevented from going to Iraq and Syria may decide to kill Infidels at home — and here we are.

“Trainee Teacher Bought Components For Boston Bombing-Style Pressure Cooker Bomb,” by Oliver JJ Lane, Breitbart, April 7, 2016:

A 20-year-old Muslim male appeared in Swedish court today, standing accused of manufacturing a device with the intention of performing a suicide bombing in the Nordic nation.

The former trainee teacher was arrested in February after buying bomb-making equipment to construct a device that has been described as being similar to the ones used to kill six and maim hundreds at the 2013 Boston marathon. Among the materials purchased for the incomplete device were a pressure-cooker, ball bearings, and acetone bleach, a common bomb making ingredient.

The man had already been prevented from joining the Islamic State.

Prosecutor Ewamari Häggkvist told the court that the accused had “acquired, stored and compiled liquids and objects with the intent to make a suicide bomb. The criminal act prepared would have seriously hurt Sweden… We have evidence that he has bought and acquired a number of objects.

“We have seized six bottles of acetone. We can see that he has bought at least three packages of ball-bearings. He has bought a pressure cooker. He bought Christmas tree lights, the kind with a part-loop [of wire] with batteries. We have also found duct tape and an old model mobile phone, and he himself has said that he has bought three large boxes of matches.

“He has bought these with the intention of making a bomb”….

The prosecutor said: “He says he wants to become a martyr. There is information in the investigation that he is to others would have expressed that he would explode and die in the name of God and are open to do something in Sweden… he wants to do something against the enemies of the Daesh [Islamic State]”, reports Expressen.

The man had already travelled to Turkey and twice attempted to cross to Syria with the intention of joining the Islamic State, but was stopped on both occasions said the prosecutor. The Swedish secret service ‘SAPO’ had been alerted of his departure in July 2015 by concerned friends who told them he was going to fight jihad.

The accused has not entered a plea but rejects the idea he wanted to detonate a bomb in Sweden. Although he admits he wants to become a martyr, he said he wanted to do so abroad.

While the case was being heard this morning, Swedish and Danish police struck on four more Islamic State sympathisers, taking them into custody. The four men now stand accused of wanting to join ISIS, and the police report states officers found weapons, ammunition, and Islamic State paperwork. The men will stand before judges tomorrow, reports Expressen.

      Ha! Jay Boo, remember Obama’s ignorant comment about the Boston Marathon bombers? He referred to their pressure cooker bomb as a “crock pot.” What a tool.

    The “Near Enemy” is Sweden

    “Who is the “near enemy” and who is the “far enemy”? This is where you have people disagreeing. When Mohammad was deciding who he was first going to confront with violence, he was surrounded by people who did not support him, and it was those people he was first forced to engage with violence–those people who lived directly around him. Later, he was allowed to carry out violence elsewhere in order to spread the message of Islam.

    Who is today’s “near enemy” according to these groups that use this particular strategy? It is anyone in the Islamic lands–those who have occupied Islamic lands, those who have taken away Islamic territory, and even the rulers of some of these countries who call themselves Muslims. It encompasses those enemies that are directly inside these countries. They must be taken on first and defeated, and then afterwards, we can spread the message of Islam–without violence if possible, but with violence if necessary–to the rest of the world.”

    -from Jihadist Strategies in the War on Terrorism by Mary R. Habeck, Ph.D., Heritage Lecture #855

      Mortimer, one of the primary textbooks I required for my students, while teaching Special Topics in Homeland Security, was Mary Habeck’s book, “Knowing the Enemy: Jihadist Strategies in the War on Terror.” Indeed, I showed them the lecture you cited. Their eyes were opened then to the perpetual threat posed by jihadists and to the strategies that jihadists employ while pursuing their goal of enjoying the same success as did Muhammad, a strategy which they refer to as the Method of Muhammad.

      Habeck presents the “Grand Strategy” and the military strategies used by jihadists – near enemy, far enemy, apostates, unbelievers – to achieve the defeat of all perceived enemies, always incorporating violence. [1]

      As current political correctness precludes naming the enemy, the hamster-wheel rhetoric of “ISIS is not Islamic . . . Islam is a religion of peace” will ensure that non-random jihadist attacks, perceived as random, will continue both on large scales and small scales. The Islamic ideology mandates no less.

    “A 20-year-old Muslim male…”

    I didn’t need to read much more to know the dude was up to no good.

    The accused has not entered a plea but rejects the idea he wanted to detonate a bomb in Sweden. Although he admits he wants to become a martyr, he said he wanted to do so abroad.

    So he was buying it for someone else. Keep investigating.

    The frightening fact this story could be about a Somali living in Minnesota. Believe me, there is a huge population of them in St. Paul, Minneapolis, and St. Cloud. In many people’s opinion it is just a matter of time before one of these bombs goes off at a Twins Game, at The Mall of America, at in the middle of the Minneapolis airport.

    Thank You Democrats for luring these people to The People’s Republic of Minnesota, aka Mogadishu on the Mississippi!

      Zeke Zicks… I read about the migration ,is was unofficially estimated up to around 100,00 in your state, 4 years ago.

      This may be happening in all states, cities…and counties (for cover)….the migration from many Islamic countries, which the leader calls refugees, but it may be part of the process of caliphate building getting placed for jobs and occupations so they won’t feel oppressed and turn to terrorism, (or jihad) they call it diversity, and the concerned “hateful”. They will become moderates so we are all safe…until it isn’t because we won’t be able to speak…about facts that we need to know and prevent, to survive, because Muslims will take offense…sharia law.

    Just New Zealand, Japan, Sout Korea, Formosa and South America the only so far free from terrorism? The swedish government promises it is building Sweden stronger now. Hope so.
    Just 500 per week arriving. 10.000 as most before.

    Deport him.

    Islamoresistant Swedes: you must press the Sweden Democrats to insist, loud and long, upon the necessity of deporting this creature, once a suitable sentence has been served (and, frankly, all such jihadis should be put in solitary during their ‘time’ and kept apart from all non-muslim prisoners so as to reduce the opportunity for ‘prison dawa’). Before giving him the boot, publicly and with every sign of rejection and contempt strip him of his residency or citizenship status. He exhibited contempt and a desire to destroy; therefore he should receive contempt.

    Then drop him off – in the clothes he stands up in – on a beach in some Islamic failed state such as Somalia or Yemen, where chaos reigns. Return him to where he belongs: the hellhole that is the Dar al Islam.

    And tell him, if he returns to the lands of the Infidels, the moment he is caught he gets shot, as an Enemy Combatant… which is what he is, and he’s getting off lightly the first time around, expulsion rather than execution.

    All terrorists that are found should be executed! Unfortunately that’s expecting too much of Sweden.

    Muslims simply do not belong in Europe. Period.

    Time to deport them all back to the sandbox.

    Sentence should be (1) sit on pressure cooker naked. (2) Detonate pressure cooker, (3). Dump carcasss bits into hog farm cess pond, (4) Show videotape of 1,2,3 every day on Swedish TV…(5) and deport family….and (6) rape victims may volunteer to activate detonator remotely if they wish.

    In permissive sweden you can rape a 12 year old swedish girl and receive 2 weeks of community service. For his crime I would expect at least 2 weekends in jail and 2 months probation, but deportation? heavens forbid, that would be islamophobic. Sweden is gone people and europe is quickly following. I hope pegida and generation identataire can reverse it but I’m not holding my breath.

    it seems there is an error in the article from Sweden . The muslim man didn’t

    want to kill in the name of God but Allah , I would say.

    Acetone and bleach – sounds more like he was planning a kidnapping with chloroform.
