Report: Man in custody for New York Port Authority bombing was wearing a suicide vest

Dec 11, 2017 8:21 am By Robert Spencer

“Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (Qur’an 9:111)

“REPORT: Suspect in Custody for Port Authority Was Wearing an ‘Explosive Vest,’” by Colby Hall, Mediaite, December 11, 2017:

NYPD is investigating an “explosion of unknown origin” that went off at the intersection of 42nd Street and Eighth Avenue.It’s not yet clear who was responsible, as the investigation is still ongoing, though reports on NY One reveal that an individual was wearing a suicide vest that went off prematurely, though another report (on ABC News) claims that only a pipe bomb went off.

This story is still fluid with conflicting reports. We will update and clarify as more reports come in.

The NYC Office of Emergency Management said commuters should expect delays….

    The jihadists want to sabotage New York City because they want to sabotage America’s economy. They will not give up.

    Only a very determined, broad counter-ideology initiative will stop Muslims from conducting terrorism. Muslims must be convinced that Islam is likely false if not completely false and thereby realize that the alleged Islamic paradise and its sensual rewards may be mythological and therefore, not worth the risk.

    Perhaps the man in the special vest set the pipe bomb.

    There are many things working against stability and peace in the world, and the guarantee of a viable future for the human race. One of those things is the Islamic cult.

    America has determined that it is not okay for someone to refuse to bake a gay wedding cake because of religion – which has the sum total effect of some other bakery making a few bucks – but that it is okay to tolerate, protect, and promote an ideology which was endorsed by Hitler, which has the call for genocide as a basic component of its religious texts, which kills anyone that tries to leave it, and had openly admitted the desire to conquer the entire human race.

    Islamic violence is NOT Islamic radicalism, it is Islamic FUNDAMENTALISM. People who use the term “radical Islam” are falling into a trap. Islamic terrorism isn’t radical, it’s been practiced since day one of the religion. The rest of the world has only had a respite from this evil during the period that Western technology and military power was so overwhelming that the backwards Islamic world could not keep up. Unfortunately, they now have the means and tools to match, while the leaders of the “free world” have spines of linguini..

    yup, the forecast is smoky with a chance of shrapnel.

    The suicide vest appears to have been defective. I hope he kept the receipt.
