Another Jihadi acts out in a New York subway:
The would-be suicide bomber who detonated an explosive device underground near the bustling Port Authority Bus Terminal is a former New York City cab driver who told investigators that he was inspired by ISIS to carry out the attack for revenge, law enforcement sources said.Akayed Ullah, 27, who is from Bangladesh and was living in Brooklyn, told authorities he was trying to exact vengeance for decades of violence against Muslims in Gaza, Syria and Iraq, saying in sum and substance from his hospital bed: “They’ve been bombing [my people] and I wanted to do damage here,” sources said.
He told cops he was inspired by ISIS, but police don’t believe he had any direct contact with the group, sources said.
How did the police come up with the assessment that the Jihadi did not have any direct contact with ISIS? A NBC report mentioned a neighbor said he was religious:
"I'm actually very shocked," he said. "Because he was a religious person and very quiet, not very outgoing."
Perhaps the police investigation should be focused on his involvement with the Muslim Brotherhood network, that is responsible for perpetuating the religious ideology that fuels Jihad that includes ISIS and Hamas:
Before ascending to the highest positions of ISIS and al-Qaeda, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Osama bin Laden, and Ayman al-Zawahiri belonged to a common ideological precursor, the Muslim Brotherhood. The trajectories of these three extremist leaders highlight the significant ideological overlap between today’s most notorious violent Islamist groups—ISIS and al-Qaeda—and the worldwide Muslim Brotherhood movement.
As the progenitor of the modern Islamist movement, the Muslim Brotherhood (i.e. the Brotherhood) has had a profound influence on the belief system that fuels al-Qaeda and ISIS. These groups share ideological underpinnings based on the writings of the late Brotherhood ideologue Sayyid Qutb. The Brotherhood has also served as a bridge for young Islamists—including bin Laden, al-Baghdadi, and al-Zawahiri—to more violent jihadist groups. Although their execution strategies may differ, at their core, all three groups maintain a shared Islamist vision of establishing a global caliphate.
The Brotherhood maintains no formal ties with ISIS and al-Qaeda, and on the surface the three groups may appear dissimilar, as al-Qaeda and ISIS both advocate violent jihadism, while the Brotherhood officially seeks to transform societies from within. “The Murtadd [apostate] Brotherhood,” the March 2016 cover story in ISIS’s Dabiq magazine denouncing the Brotherhood’s supposed apostasy, is an example of ISIS’s public disapproval of the Brotherhood.
Despite periodic public denouncements, the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) has found that the three groups share more than deep ideological underpinnings, and their similarities far outweigh their differences. Long-term regional goals have also spurred various forms of cooperation between the three groups—for example, between ISIS’s Sinai branch and the Brotherhood-affiliated Hamas—as some Middle East governments rally against Islamism and Qutb-inspired jihadist groups. While the three groups often differ in their public facing strategies, the Brotherhood, al-Qaeda, and ISIS are ultimately bound together by their shared ideology and their vision for a global caliphate governed by Islamic law.
During her November 28th presentation at the Univeristy of South Dakota, Taneeza Islam said, "As a practicing Muslim, I don’t think anyone who carries out an act of violence in the name of religion is actually a true practitioner of that religion. That’s my personal stand on that." The actions of the religious Akayed Ullah leads one to question her statement, especially after considering her refusal to denounce the Muslim Brotherhood and their support of Hamas.
According to court documents a Dallas, South Dakota man made several comments about blowing up a Veterans Affairs hospital.
In 2014 among 382 law enforcement agencies 74 percent reported anti-government extremism as one of the top three terrorist threats in their jurisdictions.
Bombs, wildfires, and mass shootings are just some of the tools of terror. It's likely that the FBI is stretched too thin to get ahead of the curve and it is hiding the scope of its findings to mask the extent of the hatred.
The sovereigns are overwhelmingly white christians using a maladapted interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment to rationalize its commitment to a pending race war using links to the federal storming of the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas and culminating in the Oklahoma City bombing. Many are either convicted felons no longer able to vote or have been marginalized by those who believe that the democratic process is ineffective especially since a person of color is President of the United States.
The American Left poses no violent threat to the United States while the hate-filled right wing of the Republican Party always will.
Mormon Cliven Bundy and his fellow cult members are in federal court for their roles in threatening federal employees.
