“I looked for guidance and . . Guidance came Sheikh Anwar Said it clearly attack the Kuffar [non-
believers] in their backyard.”
Rahimi is an “Afghanistan-born US citizen.” But did he ever subscribe to the values and perspectives he was taught during the citizenship process? Almost certainly not. And for anyone to have questioned him about them specifically would have been “Islamophobic.”
“New York’s alleged ‘Chelsea bomber’ goes on trial Monday,” by Ray Sanchez, CNN, October 2, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
New York (CNN)The powerful explosion from a homemade bomb shook Manhattan’s bustling Chelsea neighborhood just days after the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The blast shattered windows, vaulted a steel dumpster more than 100 feet through the cool air and sent people running from packed restaurants and bars on a Saturday night in September of last year.
At least 30 people were injured, many by shrapnel, in what authorities believe was Manhattan’s first jihadist terrorist attack since 9/11.
On Monday, a little over two miles from the blast site, 29-year-old Ahmad Khan Rahimi will be tried on federal charges that include using a weapon of mass destruction and bombing a public place. If convicted, he could face life in prison.
A jury will hear opening statements before Judge Richard Berman in US District Court in lower Manhattan.
Prosecutors will try to show how jihadist ideology motivated Rahimi to set off bombs in Manhattan and New Jersey before he was wounded by police at the end of a furious manhunt.On top of the federal case, Rahimi faces charges in a separate New Jersey case, including the attempted murder of law enforcement officers stemming from a shootout that ended with his capture.
Sabrina Shroff, an attorney for the Afghanistan-born US citizen, declined to comment on Friday.
Rahimi allegedly detonated bombs the morning of September 17, 2016 near the start of a Marine Corps charity run in Seaside Park, New Jersey, and, later that night in the Chelsea neighborhood. There were no injuries in the first blast.
An unexploded pressure cooker bomb — almost identical to the devices used in the Boston Marathon attacks three years earlier — was found several blocks from the Chelsea blast, according to a criminal complaint.
The bomb set off on West 23rd Street in Chelsea was left in a heavy steel dumpster. It shattered windows some 400 feet away, the complaint said.
At least one victim was knocked unconscious while driving in his car near the bomb site. Another suffered a head injury when the blast hit the car she was traveling in.
Rahimi was carrying a bloodied handwritten journal when he was taken into custody in New Jersey. The complaint said it included the line: “You (USA Government) continue your [unintelligible] slaught[er] against the mujahidean be it Afghanistan, Iraq, Sham [Syria], Palestine.”
A largely unintelligible page in the journal refers to “pipe bombs” and a “pressure cooker bomb.”
The journal writer talks of seeking guidance for attacks on non-believers where they live, according to the complaint. “I looked for guidance and . . Guidance came Sheikh Anwar Said it clearly attack the Kuffar [non-
believers] in their backyard.”A FBI agent in the complaint said he believes “Sheikh Anwar” refers to Anwar al-Awlaki, formerly a senior leader of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, a Yemen-based designated foreign terrorist organization.
The document includes laudatory references to al-Awlaki as well as to Nidal Hasan, who shot and killed 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas, and “Brother Osama Bin Laden.”…

“Prosecutors will try to show how jihadist ideology motivated Rahimi….”
Memo to prosecutors:
Jihadist ideology is identical to mainstream Islam.

That jihadist/Muslim said he wanted to “attack the unbelievers in their [own] backyard” Well, not only is he a jihad -minded Muslim but he’s also a Quran based Muslim terrorist. For example the Quran instructs in Sura 9:123. “O you who believe ! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you…” Islam = harshness, violence and death.
Shane says
You know that the liberal MSM and General McMaster will insist that this act of terrorism – “has nothing to do with Islam,” and “Islam is a religion of peace.” Dawa – the first steps to terror https://youtu.be/XcZ0e12VRXE Please Help the Clarion Project produce educational films about Islamism!
Andy says
ALL Muslims should be “cleaning up there religion” instead of pushing sharia on ours!
This Muslim should have been “CLEANING UP HIS OWN BACK YARD” in Afghanistan instead of trying to look after ours!

Muslims don’t think their vicious creed needs cleaning up–instead, they want to impose it on all of us.

Muslims are soldiers of Allah. Since they are soldiers they should be tried in a military court for their skills in causing terror on the streets of the U.S. This is an expression and active declaration of the commands they follow from the quran when they strike terror in cities. For now ,we have a problem this soldier claims a religious right and gets protected, with lawyers, domestic civil courts and lots of money. So a redefining of the word “Islam” is needed so that the political movement and it’s accompanying protection is removed, it could then clearly be seen for the doctrine that motivates followers to slay nonbelievers. With a compliant media to refrain from speaking ,the removal of scholarly analysis of the warfare of the enemy done after 9/11 and using islamic advocates for advisers that deny the use of terrorism from the quran, we may be still in the dark. Islamic sharia law from the Quran demands the followers to lie to the military, media, and are required to do this as protection so that the war they have declared will continue protected with the goal to bring sharia law that uses the deception and peaceful appearance so they can continue to build mosques and schools and get converts while plotting the demise of the U.S. That is a danger to our soldiers who try to work overseas and think the compliance will last, and the proof looks strong until they decide they will not longer comply since it is forbidden to aid the enemy which for them is the U.S./Israel, and western society, no matter what they state. They cannot follow treaties, but they will accept money and then betray. All the money to rebuild the U.S. should first start with the removal of the enemy. Send them packing in my opinion.

Throw him in gitmo and let him rot there. Fed up of always hearing about how moslems want to kill us. They’re filth.

“Prosecutors will try to show how jihadist ideology motivated Rahimi.
See, a stand alone ideology.
Nothing to do with Islam.
underbed cat says
So no reference to the Quran or the mosque education on Fridays. Everything to do with Islam. And everything to do with motivation. Curious how our past presidents decided to skim right past the ideology. China caught on however.
PRCS says
Not sure they did just skim right past the ideology.
IMO, more likely GWB was poorly informed/intentionally misinformed after 9/11 (think CAIR “guiding” his post 9/11 “Islam means peace” speech).
Obama? Well, his familiarity with Islam/deceit about it was pretty up front and obvious.

……………….
And now, thanks to Obama, we have more Muslims flooding into our backyards. Expect more cases like this one–or worse.

Oh, pious Muslims are believers, all right–it is just that they believe in evil.
