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

Florida: Muslim plotted to bomb synagogue during Passover

May 2, 2016 5:28 am By Robert Spencer

Yet another convert to Islam somehow gets the idea that his religion commands him to commit acts of violence and hate Jews. Is anyone looking into who converted this man, and where?

“Sources: FBI foils terror attack at Aventura synagogue; 1 arrested,” WSVN, May 1, 2016 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

AVENTURA, Fla. (WSVN) — Federal agents arrested a man who, sources said, was planning to throw an explosive device into a South Florida synagogue.

According to law enforcement sources, the FBI set up a sting to thwart what they described as a terror attack at the Aventura Turnberry Jewish Center, Friday evening. Sources said agents posing as terrorists were able to stop the suspect, who, they said, may have converted to Islam.

Sources told 7News they are concerned about this case because the suspect wanted to take some type of explosive device and chuck it over the wall. Friday was the next-to-last day of Passover, and the center was crowded with people observing the holiday….

    If Islam were truly the ‘religion of peace’, why did this convert not bring flowers and a nice greeting card to the synagogue, as well as a nice check for youth fund, for instance?

    It was Orthodox Easter last weekend and I think Muslims were very busy indeed. Most likely they were Albanians.

    A Greek Orthodox church in Melbourne was set alight a day after Easter.

    Then a Macedonian Orthodox church in Sydney was burned only five hours after Easter services.

    Also a Serbian Orthodox church in New York was set on fire after Easter services.

    http://www.usnews.com/news/us/articles/2016-05-02/raging-fire-destroys-historic-new-york-city-church

    What are the chances this was just a coincidence?
    They are stepping up their game and testing waters. If they get away with attempted Synagogue explosion and setting fire to churches at Easter there is no doubt in my mind that it will escalate.

      8 churches in Australia have been burned down in as many months. Sounds and smells a bit sinister doesn’t it? Several Christian schools have also had acts of arson carried out in the past fortnight. Something is amiss in the Land of Oz.

      Lakemba had a prayer hall burnt last week. My bet is that it needed an expensive renovation carried out. That seems to have been the case with the Toowoomba Church that was purchased by an Islamic group. They needed to renovate to make it suitable, and hey presto, Allah sends an appropriate amount of fire. Just enough to burn the inside, but not destroy the building.

      The same mosque (ex church) in Toowoomba was vandalised by some Islamophobic moron…except he stuffed up and painted his insults in Arabic, and his name was Ahmed. Oops.

        The fact that these arson attacks were carried out at Easter is nothing to worry about either. Nothing sus here.
        Now we all pay more as insurance premiums will go up and all this could’ve been avoided if we didn’t let this scum in.
        Maybe people can start suing politicians for damages. it’s their fault.

    If you love Allah you will love what Allah loves and hate what Allah hates…

    Jews a are second on Allah;s hate list…Kufrists are on the top because dis-belief won;t be tolerated…Jews rejected Allah, his messenger and the message…Some of them told Mahound he was crazy…Mahoubd replied, ;Crazy,? I will show you who is crazy, I will bring you slaughter…and that’s what he did…the slaughter goes on to this very day…Allah holds a grudge forever…

      “Jews rejected Allah, his messenger and the message…Some of them told Mahound he was crazy… ”
      ——————————————————————————

      When the Jews did not willingly surrender their money, wives and daughters to the unbridled lust of Muhammad the Pillager, that was the excuse Muhammad used to rationalize stealing what he desired.

    Maybe they can call the local rabbi and priest to engage in a bit of dialogue with the perp.

    At an event in a Massachusetts university, a speaker alleges that Mohamed was a terrorist (1:28:00 mark)

      Watched it. Interesting event. Using today’s definition of terrorism, and looking from the view of a tribe or caravan raided by Muhammad, there is no question – Muhammad was a terrorist leader of his day, much like today’s Aku Bakr Al-Baghdadi. Watching ISIS is like a replay of Muhammad and the birth of political Islam.

      One speaker mentions UK Muslim rape gangs at 24:30, Trump-Islam question at 1:04:15, Islamophobia question at 1:17:15. This is well worth watching. YouTube vid – “The Triggering: Has Political Correctness Gone Too Far”

        “Watching ISIS is like a replay of Muhammad and the birth of political Islam.”

        Yep.

        But leave out the adjective.

        “Watching ISIS is like a replay of Muhammad and the birth of Islam.’

        Because the Islamic State people are obeying the Sunnah of Mohammed, to the letter. Dotting every I and crossing every T.

    Poor guy, he just wanted to ‘fit’ in.
    The rush of being a newbie Muslim has worn off.
    Instead of planning an attack with bombs, why didn’t he just start a whisper campaign against another Muslim and family for not being devout enough?
    Apparently he did not yet have that status to do what other Muslims do in order to ‘make-a- name’ for himself at the expense of other Muslims to elevate his own status in the community.

    Most new converts leave Islam within two years.
    After — The Thrill is gone — Exit stage left.

    It’s all a matter of time before synagogues or jewish schools are firebombed in this country. And jews seem to be oblivious to it. They almost unanimously support Islamic immigration as well as Obama’s so called refugee programs.

      Joe
      You are so correct

      Most American ‘Jews’ are as brain dead and or oblivious to the existential threat that Islam & Muslims pose for America & Americans (and to all of 80% of none Muslim humanity)

      From my conversations (e mails) with several of them, their mind set (based entirely on perception NOT study of Islamic scripture) is that Islam is an Abrahamic Religion worthy of tolerance when in fact and reality Islam is a CULT belief system, the Cult of Muhammad because Allah is most assuredly NOT the same as the God of Jesus Moses & Abraham

      Since Allah is NOT the same as the God of the Bible then it stands to reason that NO god called Allah and no angel called Gabriel ever revealed anything to Muhammad who was actually the SOLE author of his Quran thus Muhammad is Allah and I challenge ALL Muslims (1.5 billion morons) to prove me wrong!

    I don’t think that most Jews are oblivious, only the secular-liberal ones are. Sanders is a classic example of a self-hating Jew, who defends Islamists and ignores the anti-Semitism caused by them. Mohamed hated Jews because they rejected him, much the same way the early church hated them for rejecting Jesus.

    Allah was NOT and has NEVER been the Judeo Christian G-d of Israel. We must reject that notion from the get-go and not be fooled by believing that Islam is a legitimate religion. Allah was a pagan moon god (hence the crescent being their symbol) worshiped by early Arabians. Islam itself is a pagan belief and therefore Moslems are pagans, the very thing they hate most about infidels is exactly what they are!

    Until satan’s religion of falsehood and evil is destroyed, these incidents will only increase and more people will suffer.

    The Passover was a beginning for the Nation of Israel in Egypt to leave slavery and live free in their own land that God had given to Abraham and his offspring.
    The Passover became the Day when Christ would give His perfect and precious life for all who would accept it as a ransom for themselves.

    satan is God’s enemy and the enemy of God’s people; and satan is the enemy of Christ and His followers.
    satan has setup islam and his children to fight against God’s people. And the evil demon will continue and escalate the war until he is thrown into the abyss. Christ will do this and very soon.

    Here’s a question.

    Did this creature learn Jew-hatred *after* he converted to Islam, or was he drawn to Islam because he was *already* spiritually sick with Jew-hatred and discovered that the Ummah was full of similarly-minded persons, and that in the Ummah, his Jew-hatred would be blessed as ‘holy’ and ‘just’ and ‘good’?

    He may well have gotten converted or deeply interested over the Internet.
