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

NYC: Pressure cooker bomb resembling one used in Boston Marathon jihad massacre found 4 blocks from IED explosion

Sep 18, 2016 7:34 am By Robert Spencer

This doesn’t necessarily mean that jihadis planted the bomb. Maybe “right-wing extremists” have decided to copy jihadi methods. No information yet to go on. But the coincidence is striking.

“Powerful Blast Injures at Least 29 in Manhattan; Second Device Found,” by Christopher Mele, Al Baker and Michael Barbaro, New York Times, September 17, 2016:

A powerful explosion caused by what the authorities believe was a homemade bomb injured at least 29 people on a crowded sidewalk in the bustling Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan on Saturday night, according to the police.

A few hours later, the authorities found and removed what they described as a second explosive device four blocks away, raising the possibility that two bombs had been planted in the heart of the city.

Mayor Bill de Blasio called the explosion — which occurred about 8:30 p.m. on West 23rd Street — “an intentional act” but initially said there was no connection to terrorism and no immediate claim of responsibility….

As the authorities sought to identify what had caused the explosion, they described the second device as a pressure cooker resembling the one used in the deadly Boston Marathon bombings in 2013, according to a police official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a continuing investigation.

It was unclear whether the blast on West 23rd Street had been caused by the same type of explosive….

On Saturday night in Chelsea, the device found on West 27th Street also caused no harm.

Images shared on social media and confirmed as authentic by a senior police official showed a silver-colored piece of cookware with wires and a cellphone attached.

The official said the Police Department’s bomb squad was taking the device to a department facility in the Bronx, where robots would inspect it….

    If you haven’t gotten the memo yet: we are at war. Obama, our worse-than-useless POTUS, may claim the USA is “not now, nor ever will be, at war with Islam”, but obviously Islam is at war with us. The only people Obama is fooling now are those who would also buy oceanfront in Arizona.

    This ancient war of aggression, which I have traced back at least to the Ridda (Apostasy) Wars of 632-34, will continue until Islam reigns supreme, has some sort of reformation from within (lots of luck on that one), or is eradicated as a world power, permanently. Until then, it really is “us against them”, and this is a full-on, no-holds-barred conflict, at least on their side.

    As I have said it before, I will say again: the West is too civilized for its own good. We need to tap our inner savage to deal with these Muslim marauders.

      Nukes are the only solution: One strike on a random Dar al-Islam target every three days until they unconditionally surrender to our terms–Worldwide criminalization of Islam, making its practice or promotion a capital offense.

      Inside Dar al-Harb, we legislate this without the nukes.

      Ally with Israel, UK, France, India, China, and Russia. They’re all threatened too. If China and Russia need persuading, let China annex N Korea (perhaps a disincentive), and let Russia annex Iran with regime change.

      We don’t have the military, money, or the will to do it any other way–57 Muslim countries (and growing). Muslims are everywhere. They live among us, convincing useful idiots they’re our friends.

      This Alliance won’t hold this advantage forever, so we’d better get busy before Muslims do it to us first. Iran is licking their chops.

      Our grandfathers won two major wars using this same strategy. Instead of thinking we’re smarter and morally superior to them, let’s learn from our grandfathers how to win wars.

    According to comrade de Blasio, intentional acts do not equal terrorism. That must be music to the clueless editors at NY Times.

      Typical Bill(sh.t) De Blas(t)o denialism
      rendering unto his master Hussein Barak Obama
      of HBO referring to “Muslim Faith ..” “oops didn’t I mean my Christian …?”
      and “Torah, Bible and Holy (sh.t) Qor’an”
      didn’t you know that in Obamanese or, isn’t it actually
      OBAMNESIA!
      We have a POTUS (Perpetrator Of Treason Unto Society)
      Who readily invites the enemy to settle amongst us
      and forbids those who discover who the enemy is and where it is found
      to reveal it lest he or she be prosecuted for restating
      what the enemy always stated even in writing that
      they have a genocidal agenda against all of us
      starting with the Jews.

      Thus we now have as much terrorism at home
      in Boston and San Bernardino and Florida and Minnesota
      and now in NYC

      and in Paris and Marseilles and Nice and Brussels and Antwerp
      and in Mumbai and Kashmere and in the Philippines and
      in Baghdad and Basra and Irbid and Mussul and
      Allepo and in Homs and in Damascus and the Yemen
      and Nigeria and Niger and … god knows where else

      And the ever ending war in Afghanistan and Iraq
      and Syria is never ending because

      Muslims, being Muslims

      Hate each other nearly as much as they hate us!

    Islam has nothing to do with it.

    Qur’an 9:29—Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, from among the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

    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 question now is whether the two blasts were related. There could be an active terror cell operating right now and further attacks could occur.

  5. Lesley says

    Sep 18, 2016 at 9:16 am

    It’s the NY metropolitan area– terror cell is an understatement; terror community is more accurate.

    At least the Nazis collected art and dressed neatly… our enemy for (impending) WW3 is so slovenly that the mainstream still can push the narrative to feel pity for the followers of the monstrous ideology…

    A crowded sidewalk. As I pointed out in a comment yesterday, jihadis have no qualm about targeting busy markets or religious buildings. Much to the contrary – those targets provide a perfect chance to create carnage and mayhem.

    Loosely coordinated attacks, perhaps through social media, to celebrate the end of Eid.

    How the main stream media will likely report. Confused lone wolf Muslim forgets his pressure cooker filled with nails and other projectiles on street corner. Because he forgot that he was a peace-loving Muslim.

    ………………….

    This is the explosive device featured in Inspire Magazine’s “How to Build a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom”.

    Remember how how many fools chortled at that, and some even thought it was a hoax?

    And of course this terrorist attack has turned out to be Jihad.

    Surprising that no one was killed.
