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

New Jersey: Military race canceled after pipe bomb explodes and other bombs found

Sep 18, 2016 7:49 am By Robert Spencer

Here again, there is no direct evidence that this was Islamic jihad. But the resemblance of this attempted attack to the Boston Marathon jihad massacre, coming on the same day that a pressure cooker bomb, also reminiscent of the Boston Marathon jihad attack, was found in New York City, is striking. If all these bombs had gone off, there would have been explosions in New Jersey and on 23rd and 27th streets in New York City — and terror struck in the hearts of the enemies of Allah (cf. Qur’an 8:60), whether jihadis planted the bombs or not.

“Pipe bomb explodes at ‘US military race’ minutes before thousands were due to pass,” by Scott Campbell, Mirror, September 17, 2016:

A military race has been plunged into lockdown after a pipe bomb exploded just minutes before thousands of runners were due to pass, sending debris flying 45 metres through the air.

Competitors and spectators including wounded veterans had gathered before the start of the fundraising run when the blast struck.

The device appeared to have been timed to detonate at the exact moment runners were passing the bin – but the race was delayed because of late sign-ups.

Police found multiple devices “wired together” in a bin after the terrifying explosion but only one of them had detonated, according to a spokesman.

No injuries were reported in the blast at the Seaside Semper Five Marine Corps Charity 5K in New Jersey.

Officers have also found at least one separate device and bomb dogs are still searching the area after it was plunged into lockdown.

Runner Adam Carswell said: “It was a big puff of smoke, fairly large.”

A spokesman for local prosecutors said: “We did find that within that same garbage can there were other devices wired to the one that did explode.”

It is not known how many people were involved in the placing of the devices but they are still at large.

The FBI is investigating along with another number of agencies as prosecutors admitted they “don’t know” what the motive is….

    What is going on? The Western World must unite and do something to stop this. Incompetent leaders having lead us here.

      Richard,

      I have said it before that people need to mount an uprising against their leaders and kick them out of the office to replace them with those who are willing to fight the enemy and the enemy is Islam. We need Trump in America, Le Pen in France, Wilders in Netherlands, and Petry in Germany. We need to get rid of the left-wing governments and replace them with right-wing governments. Then we can close all the mosques, kick all the Imams and the Arabic language teachers back to their country of origin. And the Muslims will have a choice; either assimilate or leave.

        Good. Agree. My opinion too. Lots wishing the same in Europe, doing their best. There are too many corrupted leaders now. Hoping for those mentioned and others.
        Regretting the terror striking U.S.A.. Very sad.

        Let’s wait to see what 2017 brings us. France will have Presidential elections and Czech Republic will have legislative elections. Later this year there’s be a re-run of the Austrian Presidential elections, whose result may bring down the Austrian government, and a Constitutional Referendum in Italy, which may also bring down the government and prompt elections in 2017.

        Yes, the moderates have to choose a side; either vote for the liberals who are pro-Islam, or vote with the conservatives who view Islamic Jihad as a threat to our civilization!

        Were you unaware that Trump is running for president? The idea that he needs to be installed in some sort of violent uprising is mistaken.

    Let’s think this way: it seems to be ” an intentional explosion”. Someone upset with TV programs on cooking?

    Thank you Robert Spencer for your diligence and attention to the facts.

    Do you think these attacks will get worse after November 2 when the Islamic retribution month of Safar begins?

    Israel has dealt with Jihadi bombs in garbage bins for decades. The trash bins in Israel are designed to contain a strong explosion within the container so that injury to passersby is limited.

    Unless all municipal and transportation authorities introduce bomb-proof trash bins everywhere, I suggest we at least remove all bins from subway platforms across North America until we win this World War being fought by Mohammedan jihadis.

      I once took an American friend to Dizengoff mall in Tel Aviv. When he went through the entrance and the guard ran the detectors over him I mentioned “One day this will be how you enter malls in America if Obama is elected.”

      Wow was my prediction dead on. With all the recent attacks I suspect the US will have to learn more than a few things from Israel. Which probably won’t happen since Obama hates Israel so much.

        The blessing of Israel is that the country shows the world how to defend against the Muslim war against Kaffirs, while creating a beautiful, vibrant, open creative country with some of the happiest people in the world. Tel Aviv is the crowning achievement of the Jewish affirmative action liberation movement called Zionism.

    Obviously. Nothing to do with Islam.

    Qur’an 9:73—O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them.

    Qur’an 9:123—O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness.

    The device appeared to have been timed to detonate at the exact moment runners were passing the bin – but the race was delayed because of late sign-ups.

    “Appeared”? What’s the alternative, someone just happened to throw away a bomb that coincidentally was set up to explode at the exact time the run was supposed to pass by there?

    Not all Muslims are evil.

      “Not all Muslims are evil.”

      But islam is *wholly* evil!

        Bill Warner …

        “Many people know friendly and charming Muslims. The same people then believe that Islam could not condone jihad, since the Muslims they know are so nice.

        Wake up to the fact that Muslims do not create Islam. Muslims only choose what parts of Islam they want to practice. Even if every Muslim in the world voted to not practice some part of Islam, Islam would not change. Islamic doctrine is perfect, eternal and complete and is changeless.

        The other problem is that Kafirs do not know what jihad is and think that jihad is only about violence. No, jihad is the struggle to establish Sharia law. It is also a civilizational struggle that includes money, speech and the written word. The Koran, Sira and Hadith all lay out the complete form of jihad.

        You must study Islam, not Muslims.”

        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

        Indeed! …”study islam, not Muslims.”

    “passing the bin”….same language, different words…”passing the can”

    Totally different from islam where the same words, peace, justice, freedom…mean totally different things to us than they do to adherents and devotees of islam.

    It’s a good thing the terrorists didn’t know there would be a delay, or they might have been successful.

    New Jersey: Military race canceled after pipe bomb explodes and other bombs found
    …………………..

    This was a race to raise money for wounded military personnel. Of course Muslims wanted to slaughter Infidels there.

    And yes–no surprise, this did indeed turn out to be Jihad.
