The worst part about this is the chorus of voices denouncing Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, precisely because that recognition will lead Muslims to commit acts of violence. Giving people what they want because they threaten to kill people if you don’t will only encourage them to threaten to kill other people when you do something else they don’t want you to do. Giving in to violent intimidation only encourages more violent intimidation. You have to stand up to a bully, not give in to him. We all learned that on the playground in seventh grade, but have forgotten it.
“New Times Square Threat: ISIS Backers ‘Recognize Explosives as the Capital’ of U.S.,” by Bridget Johnson, PJ Media, December 11, 2017:
ISIS supporters online linked today’s Port Authority Bus Terminal explosion in New York to last week’s administration recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in a new propaganda poster.
The poster also revives ISIS backers’ holiday threats against Times Square, showing a hand holding an explosive device photoshopped over an image of the busy Broadway block.
“The recognition of your dog ‘Trump’ Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, will make us recognize explosives as the capital of your country,” the message on the poster said.
ISIS supporters also cheered news of the attack on their Telegram channels.
ISIS’ official Amaq news agency had not yet issued any claim for the attack, in which three commuters suffered minor injuries as a bomber partially detonated his explosives. Police arrested Akayed Ullah, a 27-year-old Bangladesh native and legal permanent resident who lives in Brooklyn, as he allegedly tried to set off the rest of a bomb attached to his body with Velcro and zip ties. Ullah, a former for-hire driver, suffered burns to his abdomen.
“Preliminary investigation at the scene indicates this male was wearing an improvised, low-tech explosive device attached to his body,” NYPD Commissioner James O’Neill said, refusing to elaborate on statements Ullah reportedly made to police indicating inspiration from ISIS. Police told CNN that Ullah said he was exacting revenge for the “incursion into Gaza.”
In the past, ISIS has been critical of terrorists who got captured instead of dying or escaping from the scene, including Manhattan Halloween terror suspect Sayfullo Saipov. ISIS has also had difficultly containing their disappointment when their lone operatives don’t kill anyone, such as last year’s Ohio State ram-and-stab by Abdul Razak Ali Artan.
Terror groups, from well-known outlets to more obscure militant organizations, pounced on President Trump’s decision to eventually move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, calling on supporters to wage jihad wherever they are in defense of the al-Aqsa Mosque.
Declaring “kiss our jihad” to “Zionist criminals” including the United States, al-Qaeda’s branch in Lebanon said all Muslims should stand in armed resistance and “not accept compromise,” adding “the nation of Islam has no choice but to liberate its land from the American-backed Israeli occupation” using “jihad with teeth” and “no iron except iron.”
In a statement issued in Arabic and English, al-Qaeda’s general command vowed that “America and those who live in America shall never even dream of peace until we experience it as a reality in Palestine.”
The Pakistani Taliban declared in a statement that “this message is becoming clearer with each passing day like rising sun as all non-believers of the world became one against Islam and Muslims and attacking Muslims on the ground all over the world… we call on Muslims all over the world that they sympathise with Palestinian people and stand with them against non-believers.”
Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb called for “cleansing” the “abomination of the Jews” and called on Muslims “to support their brothers each according to his position and ability.” Al-Mourabitoun in Africa called for “soldiers of God” to mobilize, while Al-Shabaab urged Muslims to financially support jihad….

How could you be an even more murderous cult?

SUBMIT OR DIE! (Method of the ‘Religion of Peace’)
“Submit to Islam, and then you will be safe, for if you don’t, you should know that I have come to you with an army of men that love death, as you love life.”
—Caliph Abu Bakr, Mohammed’s Successor
Note: did Abu Bakr ‘misunderstand’ Islam? Mohammed’s closest companion used Mohammed’s methods perfectly.

Muslims see the recognition of Israel’s capital as a defeat for Islamic conquest and a loss of ‘honor’ for Islam. They see this as an invasion of Islamic conquered territory. The ‘Palestinians’ of the West Bank are indistinguishable from the ‘Palestinians’ of Trans-Jordan. They are all Arabs descended from Syrians and Egyptians.
The issue of the Jerusalem capital is an excuse for a reconquest of Israel and bringing it back into Dar al-Islam … and nothing else.

I am very curious about how many terror cells are in N.Y. at this time. I also see how the officials won’t say whether he is connected to a terrorist group.
WPM says
The” leaders” of the NYC will not say the “M” world or” I” world with latest terrors attack .It has come out this bright young fellow with the pipe bomb came here in a process of chain immigration on a visa, would the leaders of this city even mention that or dare address it ?

Angry Aussie says
My local shopping centre on the southside of Brisbane has become a rats nest of devoutness. There are niqabs galore, in various shades of…oh hang on…just black.
A few nights ago I heard an almost blood curdling scream. It is the kind I have come to recognise as that of typically the young muslim male (anything from about 17 months old to 6 years old.). It was sitting in a shopping trolley, and screaming as though it was being slowly tortured. It’s niqab clad mother handed it a gingerbread cookie (aren’t these toxic treats for infidel Christmas??), anyway, the little mongrel immediately snatched it, and shut up.
I guess my point is that as adults, they are so very similar to tantrum throwing toddlers, except more explosive.

I’ve seen this as well, Angry Aussie. There was a woman in a Hijab and floor length black outfit on the bus with a boy of about 4 and a younger girl–already in one of those perverse stretch headscarves for infants–who was in a stroller.
The boy kept hitting his mother until she gave him a treat. When he finished it he began kicking his sister’s stroller until she started crying. The mother was waving her hand ineffectually at him and saying “no, no”–but she was also smiling all the while.
I just imagine what kind of abuse he is going to be heaping on his sister in the next few years–and then probably his mother, as well. *Ugh*.

Not good signs at all.
This echos what ive read Nonnie Darwish say about how male children are raised.

More from the religion of peace…
LeftisruiningCanada says
It just sounds silly doesn’t it?
Maybe it makes more sense in arabic or whatever they speak.
gravenimage says
I think not, since the “Islam is a religion of peace” meme was created to snow credulous Infidels.
Of course, Muslims do not talk like this in Dar-al-Islam.
NELLY MATH says
Good day all you friend of freedom and peace.
We need to Ask Robert Spencer to give a very detailed history Lecture to the whole world about Jerusalem Jews and Palestinians. because I DONT KNOW IF ANY MUSLIM HAVE THE RIGHT TO CLAIM JERUSALEM. WHEN ISLAM STARTED IN AROUND 622, JERUSALEM WAS ALREADY A JEWS CAPITAL CITY. SO HOW TODAY CAN ANYONE SAY IT BELONG TO PALESTINIAN MUSLIMS, IN MY HISTORY I DONT RECON PALESTINIANS or PHILISTINIANS OF THAT TIME TO BE A MUSLIM.
PLEASE ROBERT TEACH THESE IGNORANT FANATICS.
