Yeah, it’s a real mystery.
“U.S. Embassy Bombing Attempt in Cairo Misfires,” by David D. Kirkpatrick and Mohamed Ezz, New York Times, September 4, 2018:
LONDON — An apparent attempt to bomb the American Embassy in Cairo failed on Tuesday when an explosive detonated prematurely in the backpack of a would-be attacker, the Egyptian government said in a statement. No one was injured.
It was the latest reminder of the continuing threat to Western interests from the simmering unrest in Egypt that began after a military takeover five years ago. The Egyptian military is still battling to extinguish a militant insurgency centered in the North Sinai.
In a statement released through the state-owned news media, the government said that the police had arrested Abdullah Ayman Abdel-Samie, 24, after a plastic bottle containing flammable chemicals exploded in his bag as he made his way across Simon Bolivar Square toward the embassy compound. The device was intended for “hostile action” and the suspect appeared to “embrace extremist ideas,” the statement said….
The would-be bomber’s exact target and motives could not be determined….

Motive … motive … who can help us find THE MOTIVE ??? Hmmmm…. toughie !

SHARIA LAW SAYS: “Jihad means war against Kafirs to establish Islam.”
– Chapter o9.0 of Sharia law manual, “Reliance of the Traveller”
Hadith says: Sahih Muslim (001,0031) Muhammad: “I have been ordered to wage war against mankind until they accept that there is no god but Allah and that they believe I am His prophet and accept all revelations from me…”
mortimer says
Another humiliating case of Islamic premature detonation.
I wonder if the ISLAMIC SCHOLARS at the Fatwa Department of Al Azhar University of Cairo (the famous Dar al-Ifta al Misriyyah) can help the CAIRO POLICE find THE MOTIVE ???
Hmmmm…. I would LOVE TO KNOW what FATWAS the Dar al-Ifta can find that will ILLUMINATE this TOUGH CASE for the CAIRO POLICE ??? Hmmm …. ?
I wonder if the leading FATWA DEPARTMENT in the world has any FATWAS about JIHAD in their library ???
Hmmm… ?

Oh, God! This dhimmitude is getting old — and more and more absurd.
Westman says
Always “motive unknown” until they catch up with the public.

Those who are subjected to ostrich syndrome don’t see. They never see anything.

How many times have Muslims targeted our diplomatic missions now? In Iran, in Kenya and Tanzania, in Libya, and now here in Egypt.
Only barbarians go after embassies.
sidney penny says
Beirut?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_United_States_embassy_bombing_in_Beirut
The April 18, 1983, United States embassy bombing was a suicide bombing in Beirut, Lebanon, that killed 63 people, including 17 Americans. The victims were mostly embassy and CIA staff members, but also included several U.S. soldiers and one U.S. Marine Security Guard. It was the deadliest attack on a U.S. diplomatic mission up to that time, and is considered the beginning of Islamist attacks on U.S. targets.
SJ says
The first Islamic attack on America was the Barbery Pirates. Actually it was first attack by ANYONE on the United Staes of America.
J D S says
And at that time I think we disposed of the Barbary pirates in a timely matter…….They, even today, are still “pirates” out there maybe not on the high seas but pirates are trying to destroy our American way of life and the backbone of America, our Wonderful Constitution.
SJ says
I always wondered why they would target an Embassy. Poor man’s suicide? Lollllloollllll.
Assholes!
UNCLE VLADDI says
All criminals are hypocrites, and all hypocrites are criminals.
Don’t expect subjectivist hypocrites to ever make rational universally objective sense. They’re always all about the double standards and slavery attempts, where only they get to have rights and never any responsibilities, while everyone else has no right to defend themselves from them, but only a responsibility to become and remain their slaves.
So while such leftopaths get to claim “ALL WHITES ARE RACISTS!,” all non-whites must be treated as separate and autonomous individuals with diverse motivations, no matter how indoctrinated into their tribal us-vs-them and might-makes right gangster cultures they are – even when caught red-handed engaging in gang-motivated criminal activities.
Michael Copeland says
Motive?
Why, free-floating “extremism”, of course, unattached to any ideology.
Politicianophobia says
THE NEW COLLABORATORS: the new oppressed–“agents of influence of Islam”, intellectuals,—- JOURNALISTS,—– politicians, those who consider Muslims “the new oppressed”.
Greg Murphy says
That’s the problem with the new guys-premature detonation!
