There didn’t turn out to be any bombs on campus. Perhaps Jafar Saleem simply wanted to “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60). In any case, since this took place at a college, it would have been interesting to be a fly on the wall in the next day’s “Islamophobia” classes. But no doubt if they touched on this incident at all, it was only to emphasize that such actions have nothing whatsoever to do with Islam, and that Muslims are the real victims of these incidents.
“Tweets, online post says Lafayette student joined ISIS and planned attack on campus,” by Rudy Miller, Lehigh Valley Live, May 6, 2018:
UPDATE: No bombs found at Lafayette after ISIS message posted
The FBI is investigating a series of tweets sent from a person claiming to be a Lafayette College student who pledged allegiance to ISIS and threatens to detonate bombs around the campus.
Lafayette College Vice President of Marketing and Communications Mark Eyerly confirmed that an investigation in effect late Saturday was prompted by a series of tweets sent from the account of “Jafar Saleem (Brendan).”
“I will destroy the Christianity within the school and make Allah proud,” read one tweet sent late Saturday.
One tweet links to an open letter posted on the website pastebin.com.
In the post, the writer “Jafar” says “I’ve pledged my allegiance to ISIS.”
The writer goes on to say he’s planted bombs around the Easton college campus.
“I have set up several pipe bombs, pressure cookers and nail bombs around the campus and plan to inflict the utmost damage possible,” the post says.
Another tweet shows a photo with a cache of assault weapons.
“Allah has graced us with these weapons of destruction to carry out his needs,” the tweet reads….

I worry for the state of PA. In Erie, its 3rd largest city, Moslims have gained prominence in the government. Also, our state university has a Moslim heading the student body pastorate AND the Catholic college has just installed foot washing sinks.

Lisa…This is all part of the Muslim plan to conquer the west, especially America, and install sharia law as the law of the land replacing the U.S. Constitution.
I don’t know how many Muslims are in states governments and at present there are only two in federal government elected positions but does anyone know how many have been appointed, how many are employed in local, state and federal jobs in positions of authority etc. Any way all this is part of their plan..They have no armed forces to conquer the west so they are using many factors…such as what I have mentioned along with migration, large families (average children in America is one and one half per family), prejudice, racism, islamophobic and so many other things they are using to advance their cause…and THE WORLD STANDS STILL!
WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY FACE TO FACE and…WE ARE IT!

“I don’t know how many Muslims are in states governments”
You might check out theunitedwest.org. They had an article posted there recently that said about 90 Muslims were running for government positions around the country.

There were the same threats at Lafayette in 2014, last June, last July and March 20. This is just another. I wonder what Lafayette college is really like?

You have to wonder when some of these college administrators and faculty acknowledge the obvious – or are they just too paid off to keep the truth to themselves.

I’ve been following this since 4:30 AM.
I don’t do Twitter but can’t an account be traced to the user?
In any event I hope they nab the twerp…
Berengaria says
As soon as I read that FBI was investigating, I knew Jafar would soon be back at his usual Post, proclaiming the Love of Islam.
Lafayette College is surely protected by the FBI’s Muslim Outreach Program.
No worries, whatsoever!

His fake god has “needs.” Puny human creatures must try to satisfy by using weapons to show the power he does not have. They use these to hurt, kill and destroy.
The True God, Creator of the Universe, has no “needs.” He has the necessary power and authority to do as He Wills. He comforts, protects, and gives Life in abundance.
What a difference!

They’re not fooling anyone anymore. The politicos are just over reaching in an attempt to keep the lid on things during their term in office. In the meantime things just get worse.

So if Allah is so all powerful, why does he need Muslim losers to destroy us big bad Christians?
Julea Bacall says
but who are the rest of ‘us’?
Ashley says
I doubt if this fool is a Lafayette College student… A recent convert? Recently lost a relative? Has wanted to travel to Syria? Has been ridiculed by his peers for embracing Islam?
Lafayette is a relatively small school. I’m sure “Brendan” would have been quickly identified if he were in fact a student.
Terrorists rarely warn of their intentions in advance. To do so kind of defeats the shock and awe element.
Sounds like a disgruntled kid with a grudge against Lafayette…

Pennsylvania: Muslim claiming to be Lafayette College student threatens bombings, “I will destroy Christianity within the school”
………………..
As always, Jihad goes beyond murder–it is always intended to establish the full horrors of Islam, including crushing any worship save Islam.

I’ve always found it curious how it is that Allah is the all knowing, all powerful, etc, etc, god of everything, and yet he always manages to need something.
