Coming Soon to a Theatre Near You: Jihad, the Bomb

The Times Square bomber is some kind of idiot or he wasn't very motivated to do much harm. I'm torn, as it were.

Shahzad, however, seemed to lack proper training in launching a terror attack. He loaded his SUV with 100 pounds of harmless fertilizer – made from cow manure – which he attempted to detonate by the use of M88 fireworks attached to small propane tanks.

Upon igniting the fireworks as a fuse, the would-be jihadi neglected to turn on the propane.
This particular fool comes from Pakistan, is a member of a group of dedicated and dangerous jihadis.

[....]

Tehrik-e-Taliban, a Pakistani terrorist group, claimed responsibility for the failed bombing of Times Square in New York on Sunday. The group also claimed credit for the attack on a Sri Lankan cricket team on March 3, 2009, and the Lahore bombing of May 27, 2009, which killed 35 people and injured 250.

The leader of Tehrik e-Taliban is Baitullah Mehsud, a Pashto warlord, who commands 5,800 fighters. Some of his fighters are American Muslims, who may have been trained at Islamberg and other Jamaat ul-Fuqra compounds throughout the United States.

Many of the African Americans, who are trained at the ul-Fuqra compound, are sent to Pakistan to participate in the great jihad.

That the idiot we saw at work in Times Square can't tell the difference between chemical and cow fertilizer is not something we can laugh at. They can't be all that stupid. And as we see above, they do kill people. There are a lot of them, and they are serious.

This is something we might wish to prepare for in terms of explaining it to those we know and meet. We're involved in a serious war, and many if not most of our own people deny it passionately and to the point of fury and frenzy. We have to continue talking anyway, every time there's a chance to bring up the subject.

Connecticut man person 'arrested' in Trivial, American-inspired, Zionist-led, Failed-anyway Times Square Man-made Disaster

A sampling of new, views, and headlines from Canada and beyond on the car bomb attack in Times Square:

News:

A suspect has been taken into custody... the buyer of the SUV that was parked Saturday in New York's Times Square and were seeking him as a potential suspect. [A] Connecticut resident of Pakistani descent who recently travelled to Pakistan.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano cautioned against making "premature decisions," telling the Today show Monday that "every lead has to be pursued." [CBC.]

Relax - stop blaming everything...so what if the person who bought the suv was of pakistani orgin.

It still means little until connected somehow to a terrorist plot. Just as I cautioned you and everyone else when the story broke, don't jump to conclusions until enough facts are in...

So..I will not tie the event to Islam or muslims until more is known. I wish others could do the same.

I'd like to know why this story is the current top news item on CBC.ca. It has nothing to do with Canada. And, whilst Canadians face many crises at home and internationally, I can think of any number of news topics that warrant top of the list and ARE about, or relevant to, Canada and Canadians.

I can see that the racists are coming out of the woodwork now that one of the guys maybe Pakistani and the other guy is a white male. No matter, all the serial killers are white guys as are school shooters. So be smug but the bottom line in todays world the terrorists can be white males, white females, black men, filipinos or whatever. All this proves if this guy is an American from Pakistan, is that the war in Iraq, prevented nothing it just made more nuts like this guy. Now off to Iran they got oil and caviar. With a billion Indians who Pakistanis are, racial profiling still does nothing when the perp can be a white male. Bottom line stop immigration from European countries at least we won't have to worry about pig farmers, green river killers, or Jefferey Dahmer. The posters who go after the Islamic religion don't look for answers just scapegoats. The war in Iraq made more nuts but whos counting or caring.

And Headlines:

Headline in the Vancouver Sun: Connecticut man arrested in New York's Times Square bomb attempt

Headline in Montreal Gazette: Man arrested over failed New York car bomb

Headline in the BBC News: Man 'arrested' over attempt to bomb NY's Times Square

Now I wonder if 'arrested' means he was arrested or if he was 'arrested.'

Reality check: Islam demands that there be no other religion anywhere but Islam, and that it is the duty of every believing Muslim to ensure that the world is converted by dawa or jihad. A man, a Connecticut man, a man 'arrested,' a suspect. Uh huh. Some people take their religion seriously. When they're Muslims, they often turn to terror.

008.012
YUSUFALI: Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them."

PICKTHAL: When thy Lord inspired the angels, (saying): I am with you. So make those who believe stand firm. I will throw fear into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Then smite the necks and smite of them each finger.

SHAKIR: When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.

That's the Qur'an. Muslims take it seriously. So might we.

Times Square Bombing: Kos He's "White."

Obama cheerleaders are desperate to find a "right winger" responsible for a terrorist outrage. Anything at all like a terrorist act will do, and no matter who does it, it must be "rightwing terror" until proven otherwise, at which point the Left will claim the "root cause" is some imaginary American failing, slavery in Bermuda, the overthrow of a Communist dictator in Iran in the 1950s, the Moon in Jupiter, or something. On the terrorist attack in Times Square: someone at Daily Kos writes:

What if it wasn't a terrorist from Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Yemen or Afghanistan - what if they came from the Nation of Fox?

There isn't any evidence that they did - yet. But it's also something - we can't rule out, can we?

There are two things that make me personally think this probably wasn't a muslim terrorist bombing attempt, 1) Their Car Bombs tend to WORK REALLY WELL with sophisticated cellphone remote triggers or else they stay with the bomb and ensure that it goes off, while this one was a Fracking Mess...

Video Surveillance showed a "WHITE GUY" leaving the area and attempting to disguise himself - not a dark skinned Arab.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/5/3/131544/8618

Normally I'd sample comments for our amusement, but the sad truth is that comments at Daily Kos are stupid in a physical sense: those who write are organically incapable of writing anything even worthy of ridicule.

So let's move on and see what really is in the real world.

The "White" guy the leftards are all excited about, as if that means he couldn't be a Muslim, (and that makes us wonder just how stupid these leftards can get, making us wonder if they think Islam actually is a congenital condition,) the "White" guy just came back from five months in Pakistan. The normal person would assume the returnee is Muslim. Don't make no never mind if he's "White." It matters if the bomber is Muslim, motivated not by race but by Islam.

Marisol at Jihad Watch puts this forward:

"Another clue in the investigation is a video posted online early Sunday morning by persons in Connecticut." More on this story. "Authorities Have Identified Person of Interest in Times Square Bomb Attempt," by Richard Esposito, Pierre Thomas, and Brian Ross for ABC News, May 3:

Federal authorities are closing in on the man they say is a person of interest in the Times Square car bomb attempt this weekend, who is described as a naturalized American citizen who hails from Pakistan and just returned after spending five months there.

There is growing evidence the bomber did not act alone and had ties to radical elements overseas, with one senior official telling ABC News there are several individuals believed to be connected with the bombing and that at least one of them is a Pakistani-American.

Comments at Daily Kos were just so stupid that I can't find any reason to post one. The comments weren't even repulsive. They were just stupid. Increasingly, such is our Left. When they become so stupid as this, the only thing left to them will be violence itself. They'll just scream and throw things.

"God of Carnage" Postponed by Car Bomb in Times' Square. May Day. May Day.

I'm asking, "What's my motivation?"

A failed car bomb shut down Times Square on Saturday night, causing panic, evacuations and confusion on one of the tourist spot's busiest and most crowded nights.

Police said a Nissan Pathfinder at West 45th Street and Seventh Avenue was loaded with a bomb made of electrical components, three propane gas tanks and two additional gas canisters. They received the call about the suspicious vehicle around 6:30 p.m. and blocked the area from West 43rd to 47th streets along Broadway and Seventh Avenue wwith metal railings. Parts of 48th Street were also closed.

Wall Street Journal.

"A law enforcement source said police found propane cylinders and a gas can among the items. The source said these could be supplies used by street vendors."

CNN.

Mr. Browne said gunpowder had been found in the vehicle, but not a high-grade explosive. The timing device was a clock attached to wires. The gasoline was in cans and there appeared to be two or three propane tanks.

A federal official said that domestic security officials had been informed that the event did not appear to be a terrorist threat. The official referred all requests for additional information to New York City police.

Mr. Barry said that if it had functioned, “it would be more of an incendiary event” than an explosion.

NYT.

The Lion King and God of Carnage and a couple of other Broadway plays at Times Square were postponed. That gets much coverage in the press. I felt I should mention it too, given how important it is in a story about a car bomb in Times Square on a Saturday evening. Like Dustin Hoffman playing a Tomato for a commercial in the movie Tootsie, I have to ask, as a serious actor: "What's my motivation?"

You know how hard it is to find parking in Tinytown, Kansas? Well, try finding that perfect spot in Manhattan on a Saturday evening.

Here is a sampling of commentary from Canada, the famous CBC and its deepest thinkers in the comments section on the above story.

Busy as a bee, Bobbie Bees writing at the Canadian Broadcast Corporation (CBC) leaves this comment for the world and posterity:

Sounds to me like a CIA ploy to divert attention away from the Gulf of Mexico fiasco.
Making a car bomb can't be that hard, after all they seem to go off in the Midle East like clockwork, yet this one just 'smoked?' Sounds more like a smoke screen. Oh well, gotta keep the paranioa going somehow, right?"

Vinnie Twocents adds this-- because he must:

I must say, this story reeks of "false flag event". Now, who would want to fill an SUV with gasoline, propane, wire and explosives and then let it sit in Times Square, to be "discovered" after an emergency call stating the vehicle was on fire. "Suspicious" indeed.

Thanks Vinnie. That was special.

"Thank you Rush Limbaugh!"

No, Thank YOU, Buba Buba. I wonder, though, if you didn't get an auto-link because you misspelled your name. It should have been "Booba-Booba." Right, bubba?

And that, of the 18 comments so far from the tax-payer-funded national news machine in Canada, excluded a couple of really stupid comments.



Will up-date as I can.
