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

Former NYPD Commissioner: NY Port Authority bomber planned attack “in the name of ISIS,” may be from Bangladesh

Dec 11, 2017 8:45 am By Robert Spencer

“Former NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton told MSNBC moments after the incident said the preliminary information he has is that the suspect was planning the attack ‘in the name of ISIS,’ which would make it a terrorist attack.”

That would make it a jihad attack. It’s time for the NYPD, and all law enforcement and intelligence agencies, to discard their politically correct blinders and acknowledge the reality of jihad, so as to devise effective ways to counter it.

“Explosion reported near Manhattan’s Port Authority Bus Terminal,” by Pete Kasperowicz, Washington Examiner, December 11, 2017 (thanks to Andrew Bostom):

New York police on Monday were investigating an explosion that was reported near the Port Authority Bus Terminal that may have been a botched terrorist attack.

Several reports said police had a suspect in custody who appeared to be wearing an explosive device. That device went off, possibly unintentionally, and that one or two people were injured by the blast.

Former NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton told MSNBC moments after the incident said the preliminary information he has is that the suspect was planning the attack “in the name of ISIS,” which would make it a terrorist attack.

He said the suspect is in his 20s, and is possibly from Bangladesh.

Spectrum News in New York said authorities apprehended one suspect who was wearing an “explosive vest” and detonated it….

    Fox just reported the bomber is 37 and has been here for 7 years. We’ve already forgotten the bike path killer. That was so last month.

    My spouse just remarked that when terrorists are brought in by chain migration , everyone in the chain should be deported.

    It is not Islamic radicalism that is the problem – it is Islamic FUNDAMENTALISM that is the problem. In other words, people who actually take seriously what Islam teaches. Suggesting that Islamic terrorism is a fringe thing is falling into a trap head first.

      Islam basically is a RADICAL TERRORIST SUPREMASCIST MENTALLY SICK IDEOLOGY ,introduced by a mentally sick evil man .In fact to know Mohammad is to know Islam which according to Mustafa Kemal Ata Turk was the ABSURD THEOLOGY OF AN IMMORAL BEDUOIN .Ref : holy terror by Amir Taheri page 187.

      Of course, “radicalization” is the term just about every talking head has used so far–today.

    The explosion happened at 7:40, and the police state this was jihad only an hour later? Excellent police work. Yes, it may be obvious, but it indicates a lack of dissembling by the police.

    Bratton is the FORMER commissioner. Big deal.

    The CURRENT commissioner is not willing to state this was an ISIS-jihad attack. And that’s the problem.

    The people see with their eyes what Muslims are doing. Those in authority may be seeing the same thing, but WILL NOT STATE IT, and take remedial action.

      They don’t want to have a national conversation about Islam.

    I’ve traveled much of the world and as part of my natural, but by now required Situational Awareness instincts, I am very good at identifying country of origin of foreigners in the West based on their accents and other characteristics such as dress, facial hair and mannerisms.

    When I’m in public places requiring spoken interaction with another human, once I detect an immigrant accent, I ask them what their country of origin is. I know basic greetings in many languages and have about a 85% – 90% hit rate. I make operational decisions based on their responses, body language and my instinct.

    I was in my closest downtown big chain grocery on Thursday night – busy store. There were 8 cashiers operating. 7 women (all immigrants and 2 wearing Hijabs) and ONE elderly white man. The service desk attendant was also an immigrant. There were 4 visible uniformed security personnel; all male and ALL immigrants – I spoke to all 4 briefly, asking for bathroom directions, etc., in order to detect accents.

    I decided my Hijabed check-out agent was Pakistani based on her name tag; she told me she was Bangladeshi when I asked; so close enough. I find dealing with the store staff increasingly difficult – poor language skills compounded by their accents and often semi-rudeness (might also just be poor cultural habits). I don’t like shopping there any longer and my safety is increasingly on my mind. I’m told store staff in the Burbs actually speak English as their first language – time for a move.

      That is all good do you talk to every single person who passes you, walks behind you on public transportation?Situation Awareness is good when dealing on a one by one interaction is no good in large crowds of moving people on the street or subway. By the time you figure out it is bad the terrorist action has already started. If you keep moving further out from the cities how will you make a living you will end up in a cabin in the woods or move out of your native country giving it up to the Islamic violent herd.

    The current commission {O,Neil} has his nose in the progressive mayor,s ass he just stated he would not say it was ISIS or Islamic terror attack when ask by a reporter at the scene. The mayor said on NY 1 news at the scene he says “we are a city of all faiths , this is a fact of life in major cities around the world, Paris , London and Rome” ,sound a lot like the Islamic midge London mayor , what do you guys think? He said we are a target in this city he does not say that Islamic terrorist are the ones shooting at the target. If we cannot name the enemy ,if we cannot acknowledge who the enemy is ,what are their motivating factors {true Islam},who are the allies of our enemy, what are their tactics we will not be able to defeat them.

    It would be about time westerners listen to Robert Spencer . Call it what it is and be smarter then most nations and don’t be like the UK and say its a part of life, or be like my country Canada and think you can bring those back who fought for isis and treat them better then anyone else.

    ‘In the name of ISIS’, is actually blasphemy…

    I hope this guy saved the receipt on his suicide vest. He can take it back to his retailer and show them: “It doesn’t work…see, I pressed the button like this and……”

    Surely the retailer would honor a “72 virgins or your money back” guarantee!
