Imagine if someone had plotted to bomb a Pittsburgh mosque. The “Islamophobia” stories would be thick in the establishment media. But there will be little or no coverage of this.
“Syrian Refugee Who Plotted Church Bombing In Pittsburgh Sentenced To Prison,” Breaking 911, November 13, 2022:
A Pennsylvania man was sentenced yesterday to 208 months, more than 17 years, in federal prison, followed by a lifetime of supervised release, for attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State.
Mustafa Mousab Alowemer, 24, of Pittsburgh, pleaded guilty in the Western District of Pennsylvania on Sept. 16, 2021 to one count of attempting to provide material support to ISIS in connection with his plan to attack a church in Pittsburgh.
“Alowemer admitted to planning a deadly bombing of a Pittsburgh church in the name of ISIS,” said Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department’s National Security Division. “The National Security Division was created to protect the nation from terrorist threats and we remain vigilant against those who would plot violent attacks on U.S. soil in furtherance of an extreme ideology.”
“The defendant’s plan to bomb a Pittsburgh church and risk death or injury to residents in the area in the name of ISIS was thwarted by the extraordinary work of the Pittsburgh Joint Terrorism Task Force,” said U.S. Attorney Cindy K. Chung for the Western District of Pennsylvania. “Our office will continue to hold accountable individuals who threaten the safety of our communities.”
“I want to commend the great work of our Joint Terrorism Task Force, and that of their partners and sources, in successfully thwarting a planned terrorist attack in the name of ISIS,” said Assistant Director Robert R. Wells of the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division. “Alowemer’s plan to conduct an attack at a church in Pittsburgh and inspire other ISIS supporters in the United States was unsuccessful thanks to the efforts of law enforcement officials at both the federal and state level. This sentencing demonstrates the commitment we share with our partners to pursuing justice against those who violate our laws and seek to harm innocents in our communities.”
According to court documents, Alowemer plotted to bomb a church located on the north side of Pittsburgh using an explosive device. His stated motivation to conduct such an attack was to support the cause of ISIS and to inspire other ISIS supporters in the United States to join together and commit similar acts in the name of ISIS. Alowemer also targeted the church, which he described as a “Nigerian Christian” church, to “take revenge for our [ISIS] brothers in Nigeria.” Alowemer was aware that numerous people in the proximity of the church could be killed by the explosion.
In furtherance of the plot to bomb the church, in May 2019, Alowemer distributed multiple instructional documents related to the construction and use of explosives and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) to an individual Alowemer believed to be a fellow ISIS supporter, but who was in fact an FBI employee….

Just another confused Muslim who doesn’t realize that Islam is a wonderful religion and suffused with so many notions of peace and tolerance and overall goodwill to mankind.
Right. It’s getting really old, all this seemingly non-stop crap that continues to exculpate the most influentially evil religion of all time. And yes, Islam is a religion but it is an evil religion. The emphasis here must be placed on the adjective and not on the noun. If placed on the noun it will only result all the more in victim status for Islam. If placed on the adjective, mankind has a shot, not a guarantee but a shot, at finally and definitively characterizing Islam for the spiritual malevolence which it surely is.
Put another way, nowhere is it written that a religion can’t be evil. Nowhere. Assuming otherwise gives Islam yet another pass, more leeway, more of an opportunity to pose as a victim if it is denied religious status. Sometimes, you know, adjectives are closer to the truth of things than nouns. As here.

Brilliant – and historically as well as philosophically accurate. The Middle Eastern cult of Molech used to sacrifice babies by burning them alive, hence the Biblical veto on “causing your son or your daughter to pass through fire” (Deut 18:10)

Any word from the terrorists at the terror organization CAIR? Have they sent minions to their co-religionist to explain the error of his ways?
No? Hmmm…..Odd.

About that Sharia law which that tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran is based on. That Islamic tyranny has the official title of “The Islamic Republic of Iran” and also about the chief and head Imam, Ayatollah Khomeini, who had a strong hand in establishing this so called “Republic “
The very actual essence of that Islamic tyranny, Ayatollah Khomeini had made in known that “The Islamic Republic of Iran would be Islamic and nothing but .He declared ‘What the nation wants is an Islamic Republic . Not just a Republic, not a democratic Republic, not a democratic Islamic Republic. Do not use the word “democratic” to describe it. That is the Western style. ‘” [1]
