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

NYC: Muslim, 19, plotted knife jihad massacre at Flushing Bay Promenade near World’s Fair Marina

Sep 1, 2019 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Where did Awais Chudhary learn about Islam? Did his apparently Sharia-observant family teach him about the rewards awaiting those who “kill and are killed” for Allah (Qur’an 9:111)? Has the mosque he attended been investigated? Why not?

“New York man, 19, is arrested by FBI ‘after telling undercover agent he wanted to carry out a knife terror attack in the name of ISIS,'” by Sophie Law, Mailonline, August 30, 2019:

A teenager was arrested by the FBI after allegedly telling an undercover agent he planned to carry out a violent knife terrorist attack in the name of Isis.

Awais Chudhary, of Queens, New York, exchanged messages with the FBI agent on an online chatroom and boasted about his wishes to purchase a ‘tactical knife’, according to reports.

The 19-year-old teenager allegedly attempted to buy a weapon through the undercover agent, New York Daily News reports.

But the FBI swooped in and arrested Chudhary when he went to pick up the knife from the SkyView shopping center in Queens….

Police say Chudhary planned to carry out the attack in the Flushing area of Queens.

Agents from the FBI were spotted investigating the teenager’s house on Thursday, with a neighbor telling NBC New York she had only seen the suspect twice in two years.

The NYPD Counterterrorism Bureau tweeted Friday afternoon: ‘In collaboration with our federal partners at the FBI New York Joint Terrorist Task Force (JTTF), we have intercepted and thwarted a planned terrorist attack in the Flushing area of Queen, #NYC.

‘Adwais Chudhary was planning to carry out a “lone wolf” style knife attack targeting the residents of #NYC in the name of ISIS. This case moved rapidly from planning to execution. Chudhary’s target was the Flushing Bay Promenade near the World’s Fair Marina.

‘On several occasions, Chudhary conducted pre-operational surveillance of the target location, surrounding areas and possible escape routes….

    So there was to be a Coney Island bloodbath. Isn’t the Moslima gal who named hereself after a cockroahc in that area, Sarsour or whatever, maybe she can step into the breach here and clear things up. AOC too.

    The FBI should be required to report the money it spends trying to thwart jihad mass murder attacks. It can’t be cheap.

      Linda Sarsour is from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, near the Verrazano Bridge. This terrorist arrack was to take place in the other borough, in Flushing, Queens.
      LThe US Open is being played nearby between August 26-September 8.

      Bay Ridge has a large Arab community while Queens seems to have a more Asian Muslim population – Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, and Afghanis, etc.

      As there are a lot of Jews in Flushing, I’m surprised he didn’t target them.

    The local tv channel had a short blurb on this, but did not give enough information. I was surprised that a terror attempt was recounted, so was glad to hear just the basics, knowing it would be expanded on here on JWatch.

    Those people…are they really people?…could wear normal clothes, and no one would be aware that they were the same as in the photo. Hiding themselves from view even outside, the young guy only seen “twice in two years,” could have been coming and going daily.

    Bill Maher described the anti-Israel BDS movement as:

    “a bulls**t purity test by people who want to appear woke
    but actually slept through history class.”

    Bill Maher also said:

    “As if the occupation came right out of the blue,
    that this completely peaceful people found themselves occupied.

    Forget about the intifadas and the suicide bombings
    and the rockets and how many wars.”

      Bill Maher also hopes the economy will tank …

      I don’t take much of what he says seriously. I think some of the positions that he takes are for ratings … I’ll watch him for a chuckle, not for news or commentary.

      I have to say that I find it astounding that much of the Left gets most of its news and political commentary from comedians and celebrities. To my mind, this is further evidence that the Left is intellectually lazy.

        Sep 1, 2019 at 8:09 pm

        I don’t agree with Maher on practically anything but he is very strong against Sharia Law, Jihadis, anti semetism and the bds movement. It’s profanity the only topic I agree with him on,

    Abdul Hameed al Ghabin
    [Saudi writer and political analyst] said:

    “How can we achieve peace if the Palestinian people
    remain without a place to call home? The answer is simple:

    Jordan is already 78% of historical Palestine.

    Jordanians of Palestinian origin constitute more than 80%
    of the population according to U.S. intelligence cables leaked
    in 2010. Jordan is essentially already the Palestinian Arab state.

    The only problem is, the King of Jordan refuses to acknowledge this.”

      The UN, read: Leftists/Liberals, created and perpetuated this conflict.

      There are 2 High Commissioners for Refugees, 1). serves just those called Moslem Arabs (Palestinians). 2). the second one serves everyone else in the world.

      Here is some observations and opinions.

      – The Radical Moslems are busy killing the Infidels.
      – The Moderate Moslem goes about their daily business.
      _ When the Infidels defends himself and retaliates, the Moderates join the Radicals because every Moslem knows it is wrong for an Infidel to harm a Moslem not matter the reason.

      Their Arab Moslem brothers will fight to the death of the last Palestinian.
      Their Moslem Arab brothers give the Palestinians enough to fight and die, but never enough to win because they do not like them either.

      and

      The Palestinians are a phenomenally stupid people, never failing to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. When Saddam invaded Kuwait, they stood in the streets cheering the invading Iraqi Army, forgetting that only Kuwait had let more Palestinians immigrate and work. there than any other nations.
      Needless to say the King of Kuwait sent them packing when he regained his throne.

    Mohammed said,

    “[There is] a palace of pearls in Paradise and in it seventy courts of ruby … and in each court [there are] seventy houses of green emerald stone. In every house, seventy beds. On every bed, seventy mattresses of every color and on every mattress a woman.”

    Ibn Kathir (1373 A.D.) wrote in his commentary on Surah 55:72:

    “The Prophet Muhammad was heard saying: ‘The smallest reward for the people of paradise is an abode where there are 80,000 servants and seventy-two wives, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine, and ruby, as wide as the distance from Al-Jabiyyah [a Damascus suburb] to Sana’a [Yemen]’.”

  15. mortimer says

    Sep 1, 2019 at 11:26 pm

    What was the MOTIVE of 19-year-old Awais Chudhary ???

    It was mentioned by Daraj Ibn Abi Hatim, that Abu al-Haytham ‘Adullah Ibn Wahb narrated from Abu Sa’id al-Khudhri, who heard the Prophet Muhammad PBUH saying, ‘The smallest reward for the people of Heaven is an abode where there are eighty thousand servants

    and seventy-two houri, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine and ruby, as wide as the distance from al- Jabiyyah to San’a.

    Al-Tirmidhi, Vol. 4, Ch. 21, No. 2687

    Each time we sleep with a Houri we find her virgin. Besides, the penis of the Elected never softens. The erection is eternal; the sensation that you feel each time you make love is utterly delicious and out of this world and were you to experience it in this world you would faint. Each chosen one [i.e. Muslim] will marry seventy [sic] houris, besides the women he married on earth, and all will have appetizing vaginas.

    Al-Itqan fi Ulum al-Qur’an, p. 351

    Anas said, Allah be well-pleased with him: The Messenger of Allah said, upon him blessings and peace: “The servant in Paradise shall be married with seventy wives.” Someone said, “Messenger of Allah, can he bear it?” He said: “He will be given strength for a hundred.” From Zayd ibn Arqam, Allah be well-pleased with him, when an incredulous Jew or Christian asked the Prophet, upon him blessings and peace, “Are you claiming that a man will eat and drink in Paradise??” He replied: “Yes, by the One in
    Whose hand is my soul, and each of them will be given the strength of a hundred men in his eating, drinking, coitus, and pleasure.”

    Sifat al-Janna, al-`Uqayli in the Du`afa’, and Musnad of Abu Bakr al-Bazzar

    This [Qur’an 78:33] means round breasts. They meant by this that the breasts of these girls will be fully rounded and not

    sagging, because they will be virgins, equal in age.

    Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Abridged, Volume 10 Surat At-Tagabun to the end of the Qur’an, 333-334

    “According to Prophet Muhammad (SW), the Hurs of Paradise will be pure women, free of menstruation, urine, stool, cough and children. The Hurs will sing in Paradise on divine purity and praise—we are most beautiful Hurs and we are for the honored husbands. Muhammad said that an inmate of Paradise will have the sexual strength of 70 men. Muhammad said, “An inmate of Paradise will have 500 Hurs, 4,000 unmarried women and 8,000 widowed women. Each of them will keep embracing him for the duration of his whole heavenly life.”

      Exactly.
      Islam is at war with Animists; Atheists; Buddhists, Christians (in Asia & Africa and not just the white ones); Hindus; Jews; other Moslems; Pagans; anyone else not yet named. Included in that war are women and those with same sex relationships.

    Awais Chudhary, of Queens, New York, exchanged messages with the FBI agent on an online chatroom and boasted about his wishes to purchase a ‘tactical knife’, according to reports.

    Good thing the guy is a moron – he could have, instead, simply picked up a kitchen knife and proceed as intended.

    I have a belated question.

    Was he after Jewish victims?
    Or was it any Infidel was his target?
