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

Monroe, NY: Muslim known to FBI arrested for bomb threat against LaGuardia airport

Oct 14, 2016 6:35 pm By Robert Spencer

His bomb threat turned out to be false, but it still served to “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60).

But not to worry, Monroe Police Detective David Lee is on the case: “He does have some issues.” Of course: it’s just another manifestation of the global outbreak of mental illness.

“Police: Man claiming to be ISIS supporter makes false bomb threat in Monroe,” by James Nani, Times Herald-Record, October 12, 2016:

VILLAGE OF MONROE – An Oregon man who claimed early Wednesday morning that he was on his way to leave explosives at LaGuardia Airport has been charged with falsely reporting an incident and making terroristic threats.

Abdurrahman Issam Qadan, 26, of Tigard, Ore., was stopped by a Village of Monroe police officer at about 1 a.m. along Route 17M near the entrance of ShopRite, police say. The officer was on patrol and thought the man was acting suspicious, police said.

Qadan told the officer that he had affiliations with ISIS, an acronym for the Islamic State terrorist group. According to police, Qadan said that he had gotten into a fight with his girlfriend while she was driving them to LaGuardia Airport in Queens. Qadan got out of the vehicle with his belongings, which included a duffle bag.

Police say the officer asked where the duffle bag was, and Qadan said he placed it behind the Mobil gas station on Route 17M next to an oil tank. He also said the bag had explosives in it.

Qadan told the officer that he planned to place the bag with explosives at the airport but when he got out of the car he decided to dispose of it behind the gas station instead, police said.

Qadan warned police not to go near the bag because the explosives could explode, police said. The officer also found a laptop and cell phone near the bag, which was leaning against an oil tank.

A state police bomb unit was called to the scene and a perimeter was set up around the gas station. Parts of Route 17M and Route 208 were shut down.

A search by the bomb squad of the items found no explosives. Qadan, later interviewed by investigators with the FBI Joint Terrorist Task Force at the Monroe Police headquarters, admitted he lied about the explosives, according to police.

Monroe Police Det. David Lee said he couldn’t say whether Qadan suffered from any mental issues, but said something did seem off about him.

“He does have some issues,” Lee said….

Lee said Qadan has been on the FBI’s radar in the past.

“They were interested in him before the incident,” Lee said. “He wasn’t a direct target, but there had been other people he had been associated with.”….

    Check out his “Mug Shot”.
    The same blank, soulless stare so typical of the demonicly possessed.
    All of Satan’s Children share it in common. Just watch the crowd filing into your local mosque. They all have it.
    And, of course the imams have the HORN BUMP right in the middle of their foreheads. Makes me want to splash them with Catholic Holy Water!
    And get the video on the web as they cry out: “It burns, it burns!”.

      You anticipated me, David. Before reading your post, though after reading this article by Robert Spencer, I was going to comment on this cretin’s eyes. As with so many others here at JW over the years, you aptly commented on the soulless eyes of the devout Muslim, as evidenced here in the photo above.

      Soulless eyes. Shark eyes. There for all to notice who can still notice what is key, what is germane. An indicator, one of many, respecting what Islam does to the human species, the ENORMOUS harm it does to being human, so wrapped up as it is with submission and dominance without love and compassion————-or freedom.

      Abdurrahman Issam Qadan, 26, of Tigard, Ore.should be charged with a hate crime as CAIR would say, CAIR would be correct this time. All jihadist are mentally ill, so what is new?

    To me, the logistics seem a bit weird.

    Probably, I AM missing something.

    he is from Oregon.

    His girl friend was driving him to LaGuardia Airport ( Queens borough of New York City). HE IS IN MONROE, N.Y., off of Route 17. (Note, I used to live in New York City and Long Island-for 30+ years).

    Without using Mapquest, google maps or anything else, I would guess that he is 70 or so miles from Queens.

    What kind of route were they traveling? (Or, did he not leave form Oregon- very unclear).

    And, was he walking when he split with the g.f.? Monroe, NY IS NOT a booming metropolis. If they split, say midnight- there makes no sense- if it were I-i would be at that hour looking for a motel. Then a car rental in the morning. Strange.

    This guy-probably is a total nut job. i would suggest, send him to Hezbollah. he might kill a few dozen of them, while taking a leak.

    He seems weird, or there is a great deal missing. OR BOTH.

    Tigard is in Oregon, southwest of Portland. I couldn’t figure out how he planned to get to LaGuardia, unless they were driving. ???

      Greyhound- I agree-somewhat- but- it seems ( to me) weird -if driving from Oregon to NY-to get to Laguardia- how would they be in Monroe- which ( guesstimate) 100 or so miles from Queens (New York City), where LaGuardia is.?

      If this anal pore wanted to blow up an airport, why not pick one closer to home?

      And, as I mentioned in my other post- Monroe, NY is not a booming metropolis. Why wander aroudn there- at 1 or so in the morning?

      Find a motel.

      Weird–weird people.

    According to US law enforcement it seems that a very large number of muslims, more and more every day, are suffering with mental health issues. I am beginning to wonder if US law enforcement is suffering from the same condition.

    According to police, Qadan said that he had gotten into a fight with his girlfriend while she was driving them to LaGuardia Airport in Queens.

    That would make her a person of interest.
