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

St. Louis Muslim told coworkers he was in ISIS, could blow up their job site

Dec 6, 2016 8:22 am By Robert Spencer

“Barimac admitted to police that he made it up, police say.”

Maybe. He was found to have no bombs or bomb-making equipment, but he did just say he could make a phone call and get the place blown up. Whom would he have called? And he didn’t say he had weapons, he said he had access to weapons. Where are they? Who has them?

Or maybe he was indeed making it all up, intending only to “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60).

“Creve Coeur worker told coworkers he was in ISIS, could blow them up with one call, authorities say,” by Kim Bell, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, December 5, 2016:

A south St. Louis County man has been charged with making a terrorist threat after allegedly telling co-workers at a luxury car-detailing shop that he belonged to ISIS and could have their job site blown up by making one phone call.

Prosecutors on Sunday charged Mustafa Barimac, 26, with the felony. His bail was set at $500,000, cash only. He made his initial court appearance Monday morning. His next court date is scheduled for Jan. 4 before Associate Circuit Judge John Borbonus.

Creve Coeur police say Barimac made the comments on Nov. 25, the day after Thanksgiving, to co-workers at an auto detailing firm, Teph Seal, at 11830 Olive Boulevard.

He told co-workers he was affiliated with ISIS and even showed them a tattoo he claimed was an ISIS tattoo.

“He threatened to co-workers that he could place one phone call and have the place blown up,” Creve Coeur Detective Cory Mueller said in court papers.

Mueller said it was hard to pin down why Barimac made the threat. Mueller said it could have been due to the face that Barimac was a detailer who was angry about his paycheck and job responsibilities. Mueller said Barimac thought he had been promised a promotion to a low-level manager with a pay hike, and that didn’t happen as quickly as he had wanted.

Workers didn’t notify police until a week later.

“At first, he was a big talker,” Mueller said. “But as time went on and he started adding on this ISIS bit and showed the tattoo, it made people take him more seriously. The statements built up over time.”

A week after the ISIS comment, police in Creve Coeur were notified and they began working with the FBI. Police conducted constant surveillance of Barimac, including at Barimac’s parents’ home where he lives in the 300 block of Southhampton Drive, near Jefferson Barracks park in south St. Louis County. Police in Creve Coeur brought a dog that can detect explosives to the business and searched it Saturday, the same day Barimac was arrested at another business in St. Louis they followed him to.

No bombs or bomb-making equipment were found at the business, on him, his car or at his parents’ home, police say. His tattoo “ended up being in Arabic, along the lines of, ‘Only God or Allah can judge me,'” Mueller said.

Barimac admitted to police that he made it up, police say. He agreed that the comments would reach the entire workforce of about 25 people, Mueller said. A few weeks before the ISIS threat, Mueller said, Barimac told co-workers he had access to firearms and if another issue came up he “could come to the business and take care of all Teph Seal employees.” Mueller said police didn’t find out about the firearms threat until workers reported the ISIS threat Friday. Police say they found no social media site associated with Barimac, except an old MySpace site that he doesn’t maintain.

Court records do not indicate if Barimac has an attorney yet. His parents could not be reached for comment. Mueller said they speak limited English. He said Barimac, a Bosnian, has been in the St. Louis area since high school and lived in Iowa before that. The FBI is developing an intelligence file on Barimac, but he was not on their radar before this report, authorities say….

    Well the moron must learn quickly that for a better paycheck and a better job you need competenses and not treat. When I was his chef I should fire him now. Never back again in my company.

    ISIS is totally Islamic and that is why Muslims all over the world support this Muslim terror organization with the dreams of bringing caliphate back. Dream on! An dthe West wonders how and why ISIS finds support among Muslims and is always looking for illusionary reasons for self radicalization of Muslims who commit terror in support of ISIS.

      I agree Jaladhi, the information is available if pursued with open eyes, and some bravery, what’s going on with those who have chosen not to dig deep, or inform themselves is disgusting as this insanity spreads as a protected “religion”..This is all about the doctrine of islam and the train they ride in on called diversity who must silence the poputlation from reality, to acheive their caliphate.

    He would not be if he was “self-radicalized” – assuming this wasn’t simply a muslim butt-hurt loser (but I repeat myself) using empty threats and boasts to try and get back at his employer and co-workers for a perceived slight.

    Consider the numbers who are not on radar….that have been arriving at breakneck speed…waiting. Guests of the visa providing administration with a not so secret crew.

    An outlandishly false statement of extreme folly I saw for the first time on a tee-shirt a young man was wearing in the year 1974. Which had printed on it the saying “It doesn’t matter what you believe as long as your sincere.” That was statement of total falsehood and complete nonsense. For example, in the book entitled DEFYING ISIS by Johnnie Moore on page 30 it informs the reader about the jihadists who compose ISIS that “They sincerely believe they are doing justice by ridding the world of another generation of Christians, so they massacre them with pure joy.” In other words, the jihadist /Muslims of ISIS are sincere and thus believe and feel that they are “doing the right thing” by their brutal, cruel mass murder of Christians. Therefore, since the ISIS jihadists are sincere it followers, naturally, in their delusional Islamic mindset and worldview they actually “good intentions .” As strange, odd and ironic as this is. A semi-good way to explain this would is in history many Marxists had murdered many people to obtain the goal of the “greater good for a workers paradise.” In that aspect those murdering Marxists had “good intentions.” So in contrast to that foolishness and falsehood of folly false statement ,just sited above , is the tragic but true reality based statement .Which is that “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”

      Yes, this is absurd, Walter–many barbarians have been “sincere” in their savagery. Many Muslims are “sincere” in wanting to enslave and slaughter us–this doesn’t make them any better.

      I am in general no fan of dishonest and hypocrisy–but many hypocrites, whatever their moral failings, have been more civilized and decent people.

      Sincerity may be a virtue in aggregate–but it entirely depends what one is sincere in espousing.

    By the time this guy’s photo was taken, he looked like a real “sad sack.” I suppose he never thought he’d be in front of the St.Louis Police, who obviously questioned him. And now, he is on a “watch list” and can’t understand why “we did this to him”. He was just trying to be a perfectly behaved Muslim!

    The next thing we’ll discover is a Muslim business-type will be selling ISIS tattoos, because these boys are losers seeking any kind of recognition. Except, they have no idea what angers the average American. Then they act as if bewildered that they had no concept of doing anything wrong. After all WTH is an idle threat to bomb anyone? It happens all the time where this guy comes from.

    That’s why the big question never goes away; who needs these people in our country? They come out of the stone age and the first thing they discover are implements to kill or maim, the more victims the better for them! How good is modernity to them, they can even take a cell-phone and detonate a bomb without personally being next to the bomb. That’s power to these guys!
    They’re so innocent about it all, their “Book” recommends how they must interact when among “non-believers.” and all they do is follow what the passages order.

    One would think that any sane government would learn from Germany’s and Sweden’s mistakes, plus the rest of the participating and blind EU nations, but of course they’re gluttons for punishment. Merkel is safely stationed in her Ivory Office and so are the other “refugee” importers, and I do not exclude Obama from this picture. He never saw a Muslim he didn’t think the American people should not adopt!

    January 20, 2017 cannot arrive soon enough, and then we’ll have a real President instead of a delinquent. Oh, the guy in the photo? He needs a stretch in Devil’s Island, just off the NE coast of South America. He wanted to get to America, Devil’s Island comes highly recommended. All he’ll need to do is help clean-up the place to revive that old French penal colony to its days of glory ….and good riddance to him and associates.

        This is a reference to this phenomenon:

        http://blog.constitutioncenter.org/2016/12/what-happens-to-a-vote-switching-elector-on-december-19/

        A president needs 270 Electoral votes to win–Trump received a solid 309. Personally, I don’t foresee hordes of them changing their votes.

        And this is not just personal opinion. Here’s the Chicago Tribune:

        “Why efforts to persuade the electoral college to ditch Trump probably won’t work”

        http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/politics/ct-electoral-college-trump-20161206-story.html

        Usually, December 19 is pretty pro-forma. Most Americans pay it little attention.

    He is imbued with the Qur’anic morality that says that Muslims are the best of people.
    And like his Qur’anic hero Mo, he is the spoilt brat, stomping feet, shouting narcissist in the room of infidels.

    St. Louis Muslim told coworkers he was in ISIS, could blow up their job site
    ………………………..

    I’m sure everyone here has had coworkers who bragged about stuff–but is was probably more along the lines of how many dates they got with foxy ladies, how they impressed the boss, or how they were right on the verge of patenting that million-dollar invention–not that they were going to blow up the job site.

    But then, these were probably Infidel coworkers…
