Florida: Man converts to Islam, tries to bomb Miami mall for ISIS

Mar 16, 2018 11:24 am By Robert Spencer

Once again we see it: the convert to Islam turning to plots of mass murder. Authorities steadfastly remain uninterested in this phenomenon, despite is common recurrence.

“Honduran man pleads guilty after attempting to bomb Miami mall in support of ISIS,” by Anna Giaritelli, Washington Examiner, March 15, 2018:

A Honduran man living in Miami has pleaded guilty to attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State terrorist organization, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida announced Thursday.

Vicente Adolfo Solano will face up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for planning to bomb a local shopping mall in 2017, the attorney’s office said in a statement.

The 53-year-old man told an undercover government source in early 2017 that he was unhappy with the United States as a whole and wanted to carry out an attack in Miami. He later said he wanted to join ISIS, according to the court complaint.

Solano later told two undercover FBI agents and the confidential source that he was plotting to place and detonate an explosive device in a central part of a busy mall.

He obtained what he thought was an explosive device, tried to arm it, then took it to a mall to carry out the attack. Solano did not know that the device was “inert” and would not detonate. He was arrested before he entered the mall….

    This also begs the question, was this Honduran in the US legally, or is he another ‘undocumented immigrant’ ?

    Where and how was he converted to Islam? In Miami or the Honduras? By a particular Imam or mosque?

    ” … he was unhappy with the United States as a whole and wanted to carry out an attack in Miami. He later said he wanted to join ISIS, according to the court complaint….”

    nothing good about the USA?

    the urge to destroy, or, at least, to corrupt seems part of the modified DNA of an almost muslim (slave of the allah god of islam). that is, with no suggestion as to how a something might be improved, the adherent to SHARIA (enslavement tool) must destroy, kill, to earn cred before the allah god of islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers).

    Converts to Islam are the worst to say the least. it seems they have to prove themselves to born and bred Muslims. M

    Don’t think this has much to do with Islam. He just developed a hatred for America. He might have gone through hell trying to get to heaven, that is the USA. And then he might have had limited skills, limited language skills, etc. He might have been doing menial jobs, spat at by the well to do, treated like shit, felt like shit and didn’t give a shit no more and wanted to give some shit back. Happens to some disturbed, abused, vilified, neglected, discriminated failures who also happens to be non-White.

    Not that his actions are condoned. Just that he might have turned to some other form of criminality but found some self-acceptable form of violent outlet in the ISIS version of Jihad.

      It’s just that islam does condone such behavior. It rewards evil and has nothing but contempt for the idea of peacefully enduring under difficult circumstances.

      It does nothing to oppose, and everything to encourage, the negative and evil inclinations of the human heart.

      ……………………….

      What a lot of crap. The idea that well Americans spit on low income people is utter bs. Many people work their way up from limited skill jobs, going to school and studying hard.

      I was not an immigrant, but I was dirt poor and grew up on welfare, and was able to work hard, get an education, and rise.

      The fact is that immigrants from the third world flock to the US and the rest of the West *because* of the opportunities here.

      And, of course, if Vincente Solano decided–for whatever reason–that he did not like the United States, he could always have returned to Honduras.

      The idea that he has no options but to slaughter innocent Americans is just sickening–but I am not surprised to hear this from the appalling Chand.

      More:

      Not that his actions are condoned. Just that he might have turned to some other form of criminality but found some self-acceptable form of violent outlet in the ISIS version of Jihad.
      ……………………….

      Note Chand’s use of the passive–*Ugh*.

      And again, the idea that this thug had no choice but to turn to violence is just grotesque.

    Soft Targets addresses an entirely plausible issue whose nonoccurrence is taken for granted by the American public – terrorists loose in our own country, waging a religious war in the name of their leader. This novel of Islamic fundamentalists waging a terror attack on the US was written in 1978-79, long before such things were thought possible (at least, by most people); there is even mention of terrorists in Buffalo, NY.

    Hmmm. Yes… this looks familiar. Haven’t I seen this somewhere before?

    Oh! Right. Same scenario. Different dude. x 1,000,000.

    Coming to a neighborhood near you. Oh wait, it is already here and has been for decades. Just no one wants to recognize this and call it what it really is.

    As long as people like Merkel, May, Pelosi, Feinstein, BHO, and Brown have armed guards paid for by the taxpayer, this will get worse, not better.
