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

NYC jihad bomber: “They’ve been bombing in my country and I wanted to do damage here”

Dec 11, 2017 2:09 pm By Robert Spencer

The U.S. has not been bombing in Bangladesh, but of course he doesn’t mean Bangladesh. He means the Islamic State caliphate, allegiance to which transcends all other earthly allegiances.

“Suicide bombing suspect was a cab driver bent on revenge: cops,” by Shawn Cohen, Max Jaeger, Reuven Fenton and Natalie Musumeci, New York Post, December 11, 2017 (thanks to Ken):

The would-be suicide bomber who detonated an explosive device underground near the bustling Port Authority Bus Terminal is a former New York City cab driver who told investigators that he was inspired by ISIS to carry out the attack for revenge, law enforcement sources said.

Akayed Ullah, 27, who is believed to be from Bangladesh and was living in Brooklyn, told authorities in sum and substance from his hospital bed: “They’ve been bombing in my country and I wanted to do damage here,” sources said.

He told cops he was inspired by ISIS, but police don’t believe he had any direct contact with the group, sources said.

Ullah, who officials say is a former city cab driver whose license has lapsed, set off a “low-tech” homemade pipe bomb strapped to his midsection around 7:20 a.m. inside the subway passageway between West 42nd Street and Eighth Avenue and West 42nd Street and Seventh Avenue….

Ullah, who had the explosive device affixed to him with Velcro and zip ties, suffered burns to his hands and abdomen, along with lacerations, and injured three others who were in proximity to him. He was ​quickly taken into custody and ​transported ​to Bellevue Hospital….

    HOW LONG DO YOU THINK IT WILL TAKE MAINSTREAM MEDIA TO UNDERSTAND WHAT HE MEANS?

    • PRCS says

      Dec 11, 2017 at 2:16 pm

      Waiting with bated breath for the inevitable CAIR statement declaring this had nothing to do with Islam.

      • mortimer says

        Dec 11, 2017 at 4:44 pm

        A BRIEF EXPLANATION FOR MAINSTREAM MEDIA:

        Retribution is a COMPULSORY Islamic teaching! Even though Muslims live in the West benefiting from the blessings of freedom, the rule of law and prosperity, they still bring the Honor-Shame Paradigm with them. Honor is restored to a Muslim through the shedding of blood. No kafir is ‘innocent’. All kafirs deserve to be killed only because they reject Mohammed. The citizens of an entire kafir country can be held responsible because they taxes to support their military which attacks jihadists overseas. Islam thus considers all civilians legitimate targets for revenge in settling a matter of Islamic honor.

        -K.11.173 “Believers, retaliation is decreed for you in bloodshed.”

        -K.2.178 “O you who believe! Retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the slain.”

        -“The reprisal against those who wage war on Allah and His Messenger, and go about the earth corrupting it, is that they should be killed or crucified, or have their alternate hands and feet cut off, or be banished from the land.” (K.5:33) Waging war against Allah is rejecting Him.”–Tafsir of Imam al-Bukhari

        -Imam AbdulLatif ibn AbdurRahman rahimullah said, “It is not possible for someone to realize Tawheed and act upon it, and yet not be hostile against the mushrikeen. So anyone who isn’t hostile against the mushrikeen, then it can’t be said that he acts upon Tawheed, nor that he realizes it.” [ad-Durar as-Saniyyah 8/167]

        -(The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the land.) `Wage war’ mentioned here means: oppose and contradict, and it includes (opposing) disbelief.”–Tafsir Ibn Kathir “Surat al-Ma’idah [Q 5]”

          Isn’t it interesting how even in 99% mohammedan countries, they still find others against whom to perpetrate violence. That’s the way of their satanic majesty, “allah”.

          Mortimer, as usual, excellent commentary.

          Greyhound, Agreed, Islam is truly Satanic, conceived in the pit of hell and a plague on the world.

    • gravenimage says

      Dec 11, 2017 at 10:37 pm

      Spot on, PRCS and Michael.

      And don’t forget his Infidel neighbors saying he was quiet and seemed nice, and his Muslim relatives either assuring us that he was a good pious Muslim, or else that he was not at all religious.

      Oh, and his Mosque will tell us that they have never heard of him, and that he has not attended in months…

      It is all so depressingly predictable.

    It doesn’t matter that he had no direct ties, he was inspired, and that is all it takes.

    That and a bit of no-how and moxie to pull tragic stunts like this off.

    One more example of destructive Islamist theater at play….as it is a performance to gain a ticket to paradise for their deluded selfish selves.

    Trump has called them losers, and they are that — vile disgusting losers. To hell with them !

    when do our ” leaders ” get that ???

    He means “Ummah,” that is all bearded and not so bearded members of GLOBAL Mohammedan “community” located in every square inch of any land wherever any Mohammedan ever put his dirty footprint. And beware that they will ever put their foot on any other celestial body in universe as it will be claimed forever as theirs in perpetuity.

    Aww muffin. Someone has had a very very bad day, indeed.

    Just think, he started out his day, by strapping a poorly made pipe bomb to his body (no surprises that the dipshit couldn’t read the instructions he dug up from the internet, properly) and headed off to the subway, to deliver himself straight to Allah and earn his inclusion in the garden of paradise for all eternity where he gets to abuse and torment his 72 sex bots, all the while delivering as many dirty kaffir to the gates of hell to writhe in torment for the rest of existence.

    And all he got for his efforts were some injuries and a handcuffing to a hospital bed. No 72 sex bots for him, no dates and olives, served by winsomely submissive, adoring females. No sex bots to constantly worship and touch his his sad little penis.

    Aww, muffin. You HAVE had a very bad day, haven’t you?

        Personally, I find the hilarity is yet to come. He has such a little baby face hidden behind that lice-ridden beard of his. This is a male who is going to experience first hand, what he hoped to dole out to his virgins in Paradise, once he gets into the supermax.

    NBC news article on Times Sq transit bomber //
    ——-> // check what is wrong with coverage of report —- (Dec. 11, 2017) :

    …..The suspect in the New York City subway blast Monday told investigators he detonated a crude bomb after he spotted a holiday display and did in the name of ISIS to avenge the deaths of Muslims around the world, law enforcement officials said. ……

    –> So his attack was triggered by a religious theme while inspired to do destruction for a religion — Religion has a pattern with him. As does vengeance!

    …..Akayed Ullah, a 27-year-old Bangladeshi immigrant, said he consumed terrorist propaganda and learned how to make the explosive device through online instructions, the officials said. He assembled it at his Brooklyn apartment they said. There is no evidence Ullah, an electrician, had any direct contact with ISIS. …..

    –> There doesn’t have to be direct contact, just inspiration and some know-how…and a vile intent on destruction!

    …..But he said his anger over U.S. bombings in ISIS-controlled territory fueled his desire to carry out a suicide bombing, according to the officials. …..

    –> So, to him, vengeance has a vicious circle, thus the destruction goes on infinitely… Note, his own religion allows and supports such notions of reward for such “martyrdom” in the name of his faith!

    …..He used Velcro and zip ties to attach the bomb — made from a pipe, a 9-volt battery, matches and Christmas tree lights — to his body, according to police. He found the pipe at a job site and bought the rest of the materials himself, he told investigators. …..

    –> So, easy to make destruction method…which can be duplicated by multitudes of copy-cats!

    ….Mindful of ISIS threats timed to Christmas, he decided to set off the device in a crowded subway passageway near the Port Authority terminal because he noticed a holiday image there, the law enforcement officials said. ……

    –> So, Christmas and Christians are being targeted, please report! Additionally, he would strike where folks were innocently gathered while sheltered from the cold!

    ….Ullah was taken to Bellevue Hospital with wounds and burns after the Monday morning blast, which was captured on security video and spread panic during the morning commute. ……

    –> Thus compassionate mercy was shown to him, which he did not bestow on others, his hapless victims!

    …..Mayor Bill de Blasio said it appeared the suspect acted alone. “All we know of is one individual who, thank God, was unsuccessful in his aims,” de Blasio said. ……..

    –> Rather a blasé remark by Mayor de Blasio…considering the perpetrator did take an action of violence, as caught on video…. Additionally, these are forays and trials-by-error in perfecting this jihadist attacks on our soil. More will come. We need to get ready!

    …..Hasan Alam, a former neighbor of Ullah, said he had not seen him since he moved about a year ago. “I’m actually very shocked,” he said. “Because he was a religious person and very quiet, not very outgoing.” ……..

    –> Note: he was a very religious person! Inward seeking…probably pursuing martyrdom for his faith…as is distinctly taught by imams, and as exemplified in the hadith and the Qu’ran!

    …..Ullah came to the United States from Bangladesh with an immigrant visa on Feb. 21, 2011. He is a legal permanent resident with a green card. A spokesman for the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission said he was a licensed cab driver from March 2012 to March 2015. More recently, he was working as an electrician. ……

    –> Do we all feel safer knowing he was a taxi cab driver?

    ….Law enforcement officials said Ullah, who has traveled abroad numerous times since moving to the U.S., didn’t raise any red flags before Monday. He only had several traffic tickets on his record. …….

    –> He traveled abroad numerous times. Not a flag?

    …..Soon after the explosion, police officers descended on at least three Brooklyn addresses connected to Ullah or his relatives — two in the Kensington section and one in Old Mill Basin. A former neighbor in Mill Basin section in Brooklyn said the suspect lived there with an older couple and two other young men. She said she would see him leaving the house with what appeared to be camera equipment and assumed he was on his way to work. ……

    –> What do his co-residents know? Two other young men? And, so?

    …….”The family is very friendly, very nice, but he was quiet. Never talked to anyone, stayed to himself,” the neighbor said. NBC News reached a relative of the suspect by phone. He was unaware of the incident and declined to comment. ……..

    –> No comment. Hmmmm. Does that say anything?

    I suppose it’s possible that the NYP article changed but the quote currently reads:

    “Akayed Ullah, 27, who is from Bangladesh and was living in Brooklyn, told authorities he was trying to exact vengeance for decades of violence against Muslims in Gaza, Syria and Iraq, saying in sum and substance from his hospital bed: “They’ve been bombing [my people] and I wanted to do damage here,” sources said.”

    That’s a little different than “country” in the sense of “the Islamic State caliphate, allegiance to which transcends all other earthly allegiances.”

  16. Santa Voorhees says

    Dec 11, 2017 at 11:31 pm

    He would have done damage anyway, regardless if the US bombed his country or not. That is just an excuse to deflect the attention away from Islam itself hoping that we will never look into it and so they will keep doing attacks while we will remain ignorant about the cause of them.

    Sorry, but only liberal leftists will be fooled by his words.

    It’s written in their Quran. Remember that Isis has tried to take over Marawi in the Philippines.
    Has the Philippines bombed their country before that?
