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

New Jersey: Muslim gathered bomb materials, planned jihad massacre in New York City

Mar 15, 2018 10:09 am By Robert Spencer

Yet another convert to Islam gets the idea that his new religion calls for treason and mass murder. Lepsky is just the latest in a long list. Authorities remain completely and indefatigably uninterested in this recurring phenomenon.

“Wannabe ISIS terrorist from Jersey Shore admits plot to bomb N.Y.,” by Olivia Rizzo, NJ.com, March 13, 2018:

…Gregory Lepsky, 21, of Point Pleasant Borough, pleaded guilty to one count of attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization before U.S. District Judge Michael Shipp, in Trenton.

A plea deal with prosecutors calls for him to spend 16 to 19 years in prison. He could have faced 20, officials said….

According to Assistant U.S. Attorney James Donnelly, a search of Lepsky’s computer and other electronics uncovered his plan to build and detonate a bomb as part of his support for ISIS.

During several social media conversations, Lepsky told others that he intended to fight on behalf of ISIS and that he would, if necessary, become a martyr by driving a “bunch of explosives” to where the “enemies” could be found and blowing himself up, Donnelly said in court.

Authorities say Lepsky wanted to build a bomb from a pressure cooker, and detonate it in a populous part of New York City in order to kill as many people as possible.

A search of Lepesky’s internet history revealed that he had been researching ISIS and extremest groups throughout the month of January 2017. In one search Lepesky [sic] researched different knives seen ISIS beheading videos and then purchased a knife online.

In another search Lepesky [sic] had read an article from an extremist magazine that contained step-by-step instructions for building a homemade bomb with a list of supplies to be used.

The day of his arrest investigators found an empty pressure cooker in his home, wooden matches and a timing device, all of which he had ordered online, but the materials had not been fashioned into a bomb.

Investigators also found several books on jihad and suicide bombings in Lepsky’s home.

Following his arrest last year, an incident in which he stabbed his family’s dog, Lepsky was taken to a local hospital, where he told an employee, with police present, that his name was Allah Abdel Rochmad and that he was “working for ISIS.”

In several online posts, Lepsky pledged allegiance to ISIS and discussed traveling to Syria to fight with his “brothers,” authorities said last year.

    Federal agents would QUICKLY discover who is a JIHADIST and who isn’t if they STUDIED and MASTERED the TAQIYYA doctrine, the DHIMMI doctrine, the KAFIR doctrine, the NEAR-ENEMY doctrine, the JIHAD doctrine, as well as the ISLAMIC DRESS CODE doctrine.

    By focussing on the KEY CLUES to identifying AND understanding JIHADISTS, federal agents will be PREPARED to seek, find and INTERDICT jihadists.

    Without mastering those KEY ISLAMIC DOCTRINES of JIHAD, the cops will be CLUELESS like CLOUSEAU. They will only catch jihadis BY LUCK and BY ACCIDENT, but not through their PREPARATION.

    Our top cops should STUDY and MASTER key JIHAD DOCTRINES. FBI, and other INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES, ARE YOU LISTENING?

      Mortimer, It is surprising that they caught this guy since the hands of the federal and local law enforcement had been restricted. Blasio, Cuomo and President Hussein refused to permit the monitoring of the sites of hatred and sedition and only now has the Sessions Justice Department untied federal agencies’ hands but state and local restrictions are still very much in place across the nation. I am stand in amazement that more attacks from the sons of perdition haven’t struck much more frequently in both America and in Canada.

        That’s because Linda Sarsour talked DeBlasio into getting rid of the monitoring the mosques.

        Yes–I’m just glad he was caught at all.

    A real winner. Notice he’s still use his drug of choice nicotine. Bad form if he’s going to be a “good” Muslim”.

      Muslims are not supposed to drink–but you see them smoking all the time. There is no direct prohibition on smoking in the texts of Islam.

    Agree…. knowing the doctrine is definitely needed but.not all are clueless, this guy was arrested. I agree all police officers should be required for training, some communities the forces are already compromised by the diversity requirement that puts other officers at risk by freedom of religion laws which complicates the situation.So how do you send a Muslim to arrest a Muslim when called upon. If he decided to do so he would put the other officers at risk since the arresting officer could hold a grudge not understood. This doctrine has to be reclassified

      Clever how the conversions of white males helps out our enemy and focuses animosity toward Christians so the words now say “white supremacist” instead of white muslim jihadist.

    So where do muslims get the idea to slay the unbelievers wherever they find them because there must be some place where they get the idea to slay the unbelievers wherever they find them?

    There must be some source where a devout muslim or a convert to the religion of peace,who desires to slay the unbelievers wherever he finds them gets the idea to slay the unbelievers wherever he finds them?

    ……..

    “And slay the unbelievers wherever ye find them”
    koran 2:191

    Oh…probably from there:straight from allah in the koran.

    {the muslim god allah who doesn’t understand the bit about “thou shalt NOT KILL” in God’s Commandment “Thou shalt not kill”.
    allah who has no problem encouraging muslims to commit the crime of intentional homicide against the innocent}

    Sarcasm is a dish best served hot.

    Anyone with more than half a brain knows that Islam is a violent religion.
    Problem is that so many people have less than half a brain and they easily fall into the trap.

      A violent totalitarian political system served up as a religion.

    Yes, funny! Where, oh where… could they all be getting this idea from?! What a coincidence!
    Totally mind-boggling!!!

    Beheading videos and slave markets were designed to attract recruits like this loser. I think a long prison term is justified.

    New Jersey: Muslim gathered bomb materials, planned jihad massacre in New York City
    …………………

    And he started out stabbing the family dog.

    God, I hate Islam.

    Stating the obvious, this guy is white, white, white. To equate opposition to jihadism with racism is incredibly uninformed. Stanford administration and student activists, you lot look like idiots.

    Naaah. Dude just made a mistake…and got caught. Send him to Iran.
