In this new video, I discuss how the recent jihad attackers in New York and Minnesota may have opted to commit jihad violence: to redeem themselves after lives of sin and lack of interest in Islam. Call it redemptive jihad.
Authorities insist men who took NYC jihadi’s unexploded bomb out of suitcase “Egyptian tourists” who have returned home
“The NYPD insists they are being sought only for questioning, and officials said Wednesday the men are considered witnesses, not suspects.” What a coincidence! Two men from an overwhelmingly Muslim country just happen to discover — totally by accident! — a bomb left on a New York City street by an Islamic jihadist. They just […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: ‘Redemptive Jihad’: New York, Minnesota Terrorists Were Cleansing Their Sins
Non-observant Muslims who commit acts of jihad terror are seeking redemption. My latest in PJ Media: The news is full these days of stories about how everyone who knew the latest jihad attackers in New York and Minnesota is shocked — shocked! — that he could have done such a thing. If any of this […]
NYC jihad bomber spent weeks getting “Islamic education” at pro-Taliban Pakistan seminary
This one is really going to leave New York Mayor de Blasio and other New York City authorities scratching their heads: they will be wracking their brains trying to figure out how a pious young man instructed in the Religion of Peace could have become such a spectacular misunderstander of Islam. Does he have an […]
NY jihad bomber’s father says he told FBI about his son’s fascination with jihad, FBI says he didn’t
Between the father of a jihad terrorist and the FBI, it’s hard to know whom to believe. If the father is telling the truth, the FBI has good reason to lie about it, for otherwise it will be exposed as incompetent and Obama’s policies of denial of the jihad threat will be exposed as having […]
Federal complaint against NYC jihad bomber omits his journal’s references to the Islamic State
You may recall how the Obama administration edited the transcript of Orlando jihad mass murderer Omar Mateen’s 911 calls, removing his references to Allah and the Islamic State. Here again, the administration seems determined that the public know as little as possible about the nature and magnitude of the jihad threat inside the United States. […]
NYC jihad bomber was flagged twice in 2014, but passed scrutiny
He passed scrutiny because the FBI and other agencies have no idea what they’re looking for. And that is because on October 19, 2011, Farhana Khera of Muslim Advocates delivered a letter to John Brennan, who was then the assistant to the president on National Security for Homeland Security and Counter Terrorism. The letter was signed by […]
Despite references to jihad in NY bomber’s journal, investigators say they’ve found nothing linking him to terror groups
The ideological kinship doesn’t matter to them, because it’s Obama administration policy to ignore and deny the existence of that ideology. And so they focus on whether or not he was in actual contact with foreign jihad terrorists, and pay no mind whatsoever to the spread of the jihad ideology among Muslims in the United […]
FBI hunting for two who placed IED on Manhattan street
UPDATE: Now the NYPD is saying: “They are witnesses, there are no criminal charges, they are not in jeopardy of being arrested.” —– Possible accomplices of the “lone wolf” Ahmad Khan Rahami. “Chelsea bombing: FBI seek 2 who removed IED for questioning,” by Bart Jones, Newsday, September 21, 2016: The FBI Wednesday released a surveillance […]
NY jihad bomber says he got orders from “terrorist leaders…to attack non-believers”
Not that this has anything to do with… One might think that the authorities who constantly lie to us about jihad activity and its underlying motivations would be embarrassed by stories like these, and that one of them would break ranks and start telling the truth. One would think wrong. “New York bombing suspect Ahmad […]
