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

New Jersey: Muslim plotted pressure cooker bomb jihad massacre in NYC, wanted to join the Islamic State

May 6, 2017 8:43 am By Robert Spencer

Yet another convert to Islam turns to treason and mass murder. Authorities remain uninterested in this phenomenon.

“Both Lepsky and the dog were wounded when police initially responded on Feb. 21, and Lepsky allegedly told police while being treated at a hospital he planned to carry out his attack in New York City. The complaint said he told officials he pledged his allegiance to ‘Allah,’ was planning to kill his mother and fatally stabbed his dog because it was considered ‘dirty.'”

“Abdullah (b. Umar) (Allah be pleased with them) reported: Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) ordered the killing of dogs and we would send (men) in Medina and its corners and we did not spare any dog that we did not kill, so much so that we killed the dog that accompanied the wet she-camel belonging to the people of the desert.” — Sahih Muslim 3811

“Ibn Mughaffal reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) ordered killing of the dogs, and then said: What about them, i. e. about other dogs? and then granted concession (to keep) the dog for hunting and the dog for (the security) of the herd, and said: When the dog licks the utensil, wash it seven times, and rub it with earth the eighth time.” — Sahih Muslim 551

“Feds say NJ man plotted pressure cooker bomb plot, joining ISIS,” by Brooke Singman, Fox News, May 5, 2017:

A New Jersey man arrested after trying to butcher his family’s dog sought to become a martyr for ISIS by blowing himself up with a pressure cooker bomb in Manhattan, federal authorities charged Friday.

Gregory Lepsky, 20, of Point Pleasant, was charged with one count of attempting to provide material support to ISIS. Lepsky was arrested at his home in February after the incident involving the family pet, and police subsequently discovered a pressure cooker and a digital trail indicating a Boston Marathon-style bomb plot, prosecutors said in Newark Federal Court.

“During searches of computers and other digital evidence linked to Lepsky, law enforcement found evidence of Lepsky’s plan to build and detonate a bomb as part of his support for ISIS,” federal prosecutors charged.

Both Lepsky and the dog were wounded when police initially responded on Feb. 21, and Lepsky allegedly told police while being treated at a hospital he planned to carry out his attack in New York City. The complaint said he told officials he pledged his allegiance to “Allah,” was planning to kill his mother and fatally stabbed his dog because it was considered “dirty.”

Lepsky, a recent convert to Islam who goes by Allah Abdel Rochman, allegedly had previously told people via social media that he intended to fight on behalf of ISIS, and intended to deliver “a bunch of explosives” to where the “enemies” could be found.

According to the complaint, law enforcement also turned up a series of step-by-step instructions from Al Qaeda’s Inspire magazine on how to build a pressure cooker bomb….

“I linked up with some guy I met on a chat website and he wants me to become Muslim and join ISIS,” Lepsky wrote in a text. “I really wanna go join ISIS.”…

    Prison
    is wrong.
    Execution would be appropriate.

      I thought traitor’s were executed in the USA?

        Treason is treated like a Misdemeanor in the US, if the Treason is committed in the name of ISLAM.
        The Weak-Minded Lepsky is just one of the New Islamists, who has found that the US Authorities tread very lightly, when Islam & Treason to the US is committed.
        I wonder if Lepsky’s Mother & the Pet Dog feel the same way?

        Treason no longer appears to be an actionable offense in the US, unfortunately.

    His big mistake was trying to kill the dog. Where is PETA?

    Amother one bites the dust! Some people are ripe for the picking. If it hadn’t been ISIS it woul have been some Satanic cult. Lepsky is an imature and uninspired person who without understanding thought he join an organization like Islam and treat it like going to the movies. In the Hebrew, ‘alah gadal’ is an equivalent to the Muslim ‘Allah Akbar’ but means to place a great curse upon yourself. When will people ever learn not to play with fire?

    Actually the proper hebrew word is ‘gabar’ and is equivalent to the Arabic akbar. Sorry for the error, but a curse it is

    A person’s mind is already off the deep end when they even consider converting to Islam. Islamic scripture and doctrine mixed with an already defected mind is a deadly cocktail.

      I imagine that some of these converts don’t know what Islam really is.

      Which is no one’s fault but their own; it’s not like the Internet is reserved for a special few.

    Here is a message that could go on an anti-Islam billboard.

    We could get the attention of MANY Americans by telling them that Muslims will kill their dogs.

    Same thing in the UK.
