Yesterday Andrew Cuomo said that the bombing was not “international terrorism.” Today he said “there might be a ‘foreign connection’ behind the bombing.”
“New Jersey resident Ahmad Khan Rahami identified as first person wanted in connection with NYC bombing,” by Jason Silverstein, New York Daily News, September 19, 2016:
The NYPD released the name and picture Monday morning of a man being sought in connection for the New York City bombing over the weekend.
Ahmad Khan Rahami, 28, is the first person identified in connection with the incident.
Rahami is a naturalized United States citizen who was born in Afghanistan, according to the FBI. His last known address was in Elizabeth, N.J., where authorities found pipe bombs in a garbage can Monday morning.
The FBI raided the Elizabeth address in the morning.
New York City Mayor de Blasio said Rahami is believed to be armed and dangerous….

Moses says
It was only a matter of time
Jayke says
Can we call it a “bomb” yet?
Michael Copeland says
An informed guess: Ahmad Khan Rahami is muslim.
Muslims are commanded “Kill the non-muslims wherever you find them” Koran 9:5.
Muslims are instructed to follow Mohammed, “I have been made victorious with terror”.
Police are searching for a motive?
Normski says
Got it in 1 bro .
And Obama will say this has nothing to do with Islam .
BK says
1) His name was going to be either Mohammed or Ahmad; it’s a 50-50
2) He’s actually a gay Norwegian spending few weeks in NYC

Just look at that photo. I see only hatred in that face.

Looks like a police mug shot to me. What was he picked up for before? Why wasn’t he deported then?
Aardvark says
Don’t know how that got into my name box – a link worth reading, though!
Jaladhi says
So what’s new?? we all knew there will be a Muslim involved in these bombings and to top it of he is a Khan, the name mostly comes from Pakistan and Afghanistan! You remember the Bollywood movie “My Name is Khan” and I am not a terrorist!! Ha, ha, .. they are all terrorists without any doubt. This scum bag probably came as a Afghan refugee. The Orlando killer Matin(?) was also an Afghan refugee’s son born here. For a Muslim it doesn’t matter where he is born, he may be born even on Mars but he he do do what is in his DNA – kill, kill, kill..!! Will the West ever learn or keep on admitting Muslims in their countries we are all killed or converted!!
This line of the liberals “This is not what we are ” when we talk about stopping MUslim immigration is such a hog wash, cognitive dissonance that it make everybody laugh! These guys are morons. Period.

“This line of the liberals “This is not what we are ” when we talk about stopping MUslim immigration is such a hog wash”
Of course. Because the implication is that it is somehow unloving, bigoted or proud. The “we” is intended to capture those who haven’t yet thought about the problem, making a sensible solution “unacceptable”.
But here at JW, we know better. Our hearts want to protect our countrymen (including law enforcement) and our laws, which have served to protect all citizens.
“We, the people . . .”
–with hope that we can take this government back, not allowing undue power to a few.
Angemon says
Expect the story to continue changing, from least damaging lie to least damaging lie, as more details are known.
Tom Davis says
The bigger whopper was de Blasio’s. Imagine, a bombing that is NOT terrorism! It is really hard to imagine such a thing! Unless you know for certain that a bombing motive was for insurance fraud or some other obscure motive, you have to assume it is terrorism. You may not initially know the who or why, but you know the what, and that is terrorism.
Jack Diamond says
a bomb is not a bomb, an intentional bombing is not terrorism, terrorism is not international terrorism (i.e. islamic terrorism), Islamic terrorism is not Islamic it is an outbreak of mental illness… the mental illness clearly will involve the whole family (plus associates, fellow mosque-itoes):
“Mr. Rahami’s father, Muhammad, opened the restaurant (First American Fried Chicken) about a decade ago and employed his sons, the mayor said.
It was open 24 hours a day, but neighbors complained about rowdy crowds that would gather at the place, often after midnight.
Dean McDermott, who lives near the restaurant in Elizabeth, said he found patrons loitering in his yard and urinating in his driveway.
Responding to the complaints, the City Council passed an ordinance that would force the restaurant to close late at night, the mayor said.
“The City Council voted to shut it down at 10 p.m.,” he said. “They kept getting complaints from neighbors, it was a distress to people in the neighborhood.”
The Rahamis did not comply, according to neighbors.
On one occasion when the police came to force the restaurant to close, one of Mr. Rahami’s older brothers got in a fight with a police officer and was arrested. Before the case could be resolved, Mr. McDermott said, the son fled to his home country, Afghanistan.
“He’s a very friendly guy {Ahmad Rahami}; he gave me free chicken,” Mr. McCann said. “He was always the most friendly man you ever met.”
To other customers, however, the Rahami family seemed reserved.
“They seemed secretive, a little mysterious,” said Jessica Casanova, 23, a neighbor. “They’re too serious all the time.”

WARNING!: de Blazio and Cuomo are on the run from reality and believed to be dangerously armed with ignorance about Islam. Approach anything they say with caution.
Tom Davis says
Police must be fully aware that he will want to shoot his way to his virgins, even if they are not allowed to talk about it.
Space Cowboy says
Expel Ahmad and all the rest of the enemy Muslim invaders and the political elites responsible for importing them into our country ASAP, as only a very tiny minority of them will ever perpetrate violent acts of jihad, but all the rest of them will nonetheless wage jihad via stealth and deception to invade, infiltrate, subvert, undermine, kill, and Islamize us. That may be acceptable to our lunatic political elites, but it’s insane to normal people.
The notion that these people have nothing to do with Islam is utterly absurd, as when in history has Islam ever been a peaceful and a moderate religion? As an estimated 270 million non-Muslim people have been brutally murdered in cold-blood by Muslims in the preceding 1400 years, which is far more than three times the number of people killed by Muslims than all the people killed in all of WWI and WWII combined, in a jihad driven perpetually by the ideological force of ISLAM and all those that practice that ideological force of ISLAM, i.e., ALL MUSLIMS IN THE WORLD.
Look around, everywhere in the world where Muslims have migrated in mass it has turned into a total unmitigated disaster for every host non-Muslim infidel country involved without fail just like clockwork. It’s not happening just in America in a small vacuum. Instead, it’s happening throughout the world everywhere Muslims have migrated in mass.
It’s ridiculous for us to stupidly believe that we are at war with only a tiny subset of Muslims who our political elites tell us are so-called “radical Muslims” that misunderstand the beautiful “religion of peace”. While it is correct that only a tiny subset of Muslims will ever perpetrate Islamic terrorist attacks, all the rest of them will nonetheless wage jihad deliberately non-violently via stealth to among many things invade, infiltrate, subvert, undermine, and Islamize our non-Muslim infidel societies from within for future demographic conquest. As Muhammad famously said, “Jihad is deception.”
Islamic terrorist attacks and jihad are not one and the same thing, Islamic terrorist attacks are only one tactic of jihad out of many different tactics of jihad that Muslims employ in their jihad (holy war) waged against any and all non-Muslim infidels throughout the world.
Furthermore, the existence of so-called “radical Islam” is impossible. As there is only one Islam because there can only be one Islam, as heresy, according to the doctrines of Islam, is an automatic death penalty.
In fact, the holy divine text of the Koran is believed by all Muslim to be the direct verbatim words of omnipotent almighty Allah as delivered to Muhammad by the archangel Gabriel. So therefore those holy divine words are absolutely perfect and completely flawless, and furthermore not one single word of that holy divine text can ever be altered or changed by a mere mortal man, as that holy divine text is also immutable. Indeed, anyone perceived as trying to change even one single word of that holy divine text would instantly be executed for blasphemy.
In addition, because Muhammad was Allah’s last prophet, the holy divine text contained in the Koran abrogates, that is supersedes and replaces, all the previous holy books, such as the Bible and the Torah, of all the other religions in the world, and that is why Muslims wage jihad against all non-Muslim infidels around the world, to make Allah’s religion and all of those that follow Allah’s religion supreme throughout the world. As that is the sole fundamental purpose of Islam.
Hence, we only have one viable solution, which is to separate our two fully incompatible civilizations from one another ASAP by expelling all the enemy Muslim invaders and the political elites that have imported them into our respective countries. As fighting so-called “radical Islamic terrorists” that somehow misunderstand the beautiful “religion of peace” abroad, at the same time that our incompetent political elites are continuing to import enemy Muslim invaders into our country as fast as they possibly can, is a recipe for our own destruction.
Thanks to the universal prevailing politically correct narrative that assumes Islam to be a so-called “religion of peace” morally equivalent to all other religions and that totally ignores the very bloody history of Islam, all our political elites and our federal government have been rendered blind to the scourge of Islam, which our political elites and our federal government don’t even view as being a scourge, but instead as being a “religion of peace” morally equivalent to all other religions.
Before we can do anything, that fantasy-based prevailing politically correct narrative that controls all of our political elites and our respective governments around the world must be obliterated. As it is the single biggest impediment preventing our political elites and our respective governments from acting in a rational manner with respect to Islam and our Muslim enemies.
Kay says
So my question about these naturalized citizens: do they no longer have to declare loyalty to our country and laws?
(All the naturalized citizens I know are very proud of being citizens, and are upstanding and contributive. They studied hard to pass the test. They celebrate the 4th of July. And they would all be able to swear on the Bible . . .)
Custos Custodum says
At this stage, one normally reads about the suspect’s profession but media reports are silent, no doubt out of modesty.
No doubt Dr. Khan succumbed to the pressure of his professional work as a pediatrician.
Since Dr. Khan is a naturalized U.S. citizen, USCIS will have checked thoroughly to ensure that he has a job and is not a “public charge.”

The fool left a cell phone in the explosive device allowing the police to trace him. Remarkably stupid.
Daniel Triplett says
This guy is but one soldier in Allah’s army of 1.7 Billion.
ISLAM is the real enemy. Unless and until we grasp that concept as a Western Civilization, we Kaffir will continue losing the War.
I’m praying DJT sees the whole problem, although some of his close advisors like Gorka and Flynn keep talking about our “Muslim allies” and how we must encourage them to speak up and reform the “radical” ones. You know…our great allies like the Saudis who produced bin Laden and the 9/11 hijackers.
I wish Robert could speak with him, to truly brief him about what’s confronting us.
We have no Muslim allies. None. Just people using us until Armageddon. Then guess whose side they’ll choose.
Without the military, money, or will to invade and permanently occupy 57 Muslim countries, there’s only one solution. Nukes. Either our enemy will use them first, or we will. But there’s no other way to reconcile this: Worldwide forced criminalization.

It would be fun. although perhaps not very edifiying, if someone, prehaps from Breitbart, could ask Mayor de Blasio at his next news conference “Where are all the Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Taoist, Shinto, Jain, Ba’hai, animist, Wiccan, Zen and Zoroastrian terrorists?”
Mak says
These politicians are masters at manipulating the truth. I have no idea what his retort to that question would be. Probably he would just deflect to the Islamic victimhood card.
What makes me scared is that there is so much clear evidence as to what is going on (did anybody on JW doubt the bombings were done by a mooslime) and yet people do not want to believe it. That disconnect from reality is a bad thing. A really bad thing. For all of us! Every group you mentioned there and more are all Kuffir and the Muslims want every one of us dead if not subjugated.
Without large scale support I fear those of us who see what is going on for what it is will always be a very small minority.
steve brown says
The democratic and republican elites , e.g., Hillary Clinton and Paul Ryan will say that the reason for the terror attacks on US soil is because we are not allowing enough Trojan Horse Jihad Refugees to immigrate to America with their Female mutilated child brides.., and the liberal and progressive Climate Change Zombies will agree with the elites.. Even the mainstream media is afraid to report this for fear of being fired by their Persian Gulf owned US Jihad controlled networks. Yes, thats how deep the infiltration is…. US Patriots for Trump….

It seems Rahami’s fried chicken restaurant is being bombed on Yelp (sorry, couldn’t help it.)

That’s great. Those comments are awesome!
Ironic he put the words ‘American’ in the name of his terrorist restaurant? I’ll have a little Taqqiya sauce on mine, please.

Gotcha (allegedly).
ali bey says
Islam means submission, surrender, enslavement to Allah. Muslims pray with their skulls against the floor, the same position as the one of a terrorised subject in front of a cruel despot. The main literary work of the Arabs The thousand and One Nights or Arabian Nights is of a very and peculiar different sort of for instance Decameron, Canterbury Tales, Pinocchio, Esopo Fables, Don Quixot, Tartarin de Tarascon, since it starts with a blood soaked story of a jealous calipha whose
hobby is to behead his supposed adulterous wife and the subsequent flock of innocent and forced concubines . So that so called marvelous collection of Arab stories starts already with daily decapitations day after day.No wonder that jihadists love so much this kind of slaughtering people.
abad says
Another dead-eyed Muslim.
They really need to stop coming to the United States if they hate us – and learn to stay in their own Muslim nations.
