Philadelphia: Teen Jihadi Planned to Bomb Pride Parade, Is Son of Far-Left Lawyer

New in PJ Media:

Muhyyee-Ud-din Abdul-Rahman is eighteen years old, and like many young men his age, he had big dreams. Abdul-Rahman’s dreams, however, didn’t run along the lines of owning a Karma Kaveya. Instead, Abdul-Rahman wanted to become a bombmaker for jihad groups, and he researched the Philadelphia Pride parade and the Army-Navy game as potential targets.

His father, a prominent far-left lawyer, had no comment, but one has to wonder: did this young man learn at home that this kind of behavior was acceptable?

The Associated Press reported that Abdul-Rahman was nothing if not enterprising: he “conducted at least 12 tests on homemade bombs near his family’s home before he was arrested and was close to being able to detonate devices with a blast radius of several hundred yards.”

Robert Listenbee, Philadelphia’s First Assistant District Attorney, adds that the would-be jihadi “had a scholarship to attend college as a wrestler and decided he wanted to become a bomb maker. He wanted to leave America and go to Syria to join a terrorist group. He developed bombs in his home and tested those bombs 12 to 20 times in his backyard and in the woods nearby. Some of the bomb-making parts were found in his trash before he was arrested.”

As Abdul-Rahman was doing all this, it is extremely unlikely that his parents didn’t notice: “detectives found Abdul-Rahman was collecting materials to make explosives at his parents’ [home].”

Abdul-Rahman wanted make bombs for two jihad terror groups: Katibat al Tawhid wal Jihad (KTJ), which is an al-Qaeda affiliate, and Hay’at Tahrir al Sham (HTS). He did not, however, intend to use his bomb-making skills only in Syria. CBS News notes that he was “was searching online for potential targets in the Philadelphia area, specifically the Philly Pride March and the Army-Navy game. He allegedly was also looking into targeting local power plants and domestic military bases.”

How far has the apple fallen from the tree? Muhyyee-Ud-din Abdul-Rahman is the son of Qawi Abdul-Rahman, a prominent Philadelphia criminal defense attorney who ran in May 2023 for a seat as a Philadelphia Common Pleas Court judge. In a “vote for ten” election, Abdul-Rahman finished fourteenth, with 3.88% of the vote.

In a campaign video, Abdul-Rahman wears a djellaba, a flowing robe that is common in North Africa but usually worn in America only by Muslims who are extremely devout. His forehead also sports a superbly prominent zebiba, a dark mark caused by performing the repeated prostrations that are called for in Islamic prayer, and that is generally understood to be a sign of extraordinary piety.

The most violent and murderous terrorists are also likely to be the most devout Muslims. Or, the most desperate to be joined by 72 black-eyed virgins.

There is more. Read the rest here.

Osama Bin Laden’s Son ‘Bent on Avenging Father’s Death’ – ex-FBI Agent

This was to be expected, that Bin Laden's son would be as insane as his father. All Jihadists are insane! Hamza is bent of revenge for the killing of his dad, yet according to the Quran, Osama is in Paradise surrounded by 72 lovely virgins, or, at least they were virgins when he got there. Maybe they are perpetual virgins.

Or maybe they are inflatable dolls!

Osama Bin Laden’s son is set to become the new leader of Al-Qaeda and wants to exact revenge for his father’s death, according to an ex-FBI agent, who led the investigation into the terrorist group following the 9/11 attacks.

In an interview to be aired on CBS on Sunday, former agent Ali Soufan claims that letters seized in the raid in which Bin Laden was killed in 2011 indicate that his son will follow in his footsteps.

Hamza Bin Laden allegedly wrote: “I consider myself to be forged in steel. The path of jihad for the sake of God is what we live,” according to Soufan.

The final tranche of declassified material captured during the Bin Laden raid was declassified earlier this year.

The former FBI agent said the letters suggest Hamza adored his father and wants to continue his legacy by seeking revenge against the US.

“He’s basically saying, ‘American people, we’re coming and you’re going to feel it. And we’re going to take revenge for what you did to my father… Iraq… Afghanistan’… the whole thing was about vengeance,” Soufan tells CBS’ 60 minutes.

“He was a poster kid for the Al-Qaeda… and for members of Al-Qaeda, who were indoctrinated with these propaganda videos, he means a lot to them,” the ex-agent said.

The Obama administration imposed sanctions on 28-year-old Hamza Bin Laden in January, stating he is “actively engaged in terrorism” and poses a risk to national security.

He was designated as a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist” – the same classification the US gave to his father.

Hamza Bin Laden has made terrorist threats in audio messages on a number of occasions, according to the State Department. They include a July 2016 message warning Americans they would be targeted at home and abroad.

Six years after the Al-Qaeda founder was killed by US special forces in Pakistan, Al Qaeda is as active as ever, Soudan says: “Al Qaeda is stronger than ever. I don’t believe even bin Laden in his wildest dreams thought that he will have followers who command armies, troops… lands.”

Dozens of Christian Martyrs Made Today by 'Religion of Peace' in Pakistan **UPDATE**

A bomb blast in a park in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore on Sunday has killed 44 people and wounded 91, a health official said.

Many of the injured are in a critical condition, Salman Rafiq, a health adviser to the chief minister of Punjab province, said.

The explosion took place near the children's rides in Gulshan-e-Iqbal park, local police chief Haider Ashraf said. He said the explosion appeared to have been a suicide bombing, but investigations were ongoing.

Of course, because the 'religion of peace' loves children, or, at least, loves torturing and murdering them.

I think it safe to say that the majority of Pakistanis will not be alarmed by this massacre. They probably think the victims deserve their fate because they turned their backs on Islam. Islam is, of course, the only true religion..... of Satan!

The poor, unfortunate idiot who blew himself up thought he was going to wake up in Paradise surrounded by dozens of virgins. But, in reality, he has woken up in Hell surrounded by demons. There is a special place in Hell for those who convince these fools to blow themselves up and take as many genuinely good people with them as they can.

I have mercy for the suicide bombers - they are simple fools. It's those who teach it as a great thing, but who, themselves, don't do it - they are the truly evil.


Area crowded with families celebrating Easter

The area was crowded with Christians celebrating the Easter holidays, and many families were leaving the park when the blast occurred, Ashraf said.

Ashraf said the park was manned by police guards and private security guards. "We are in a warlike situation and there is always a general threat but no specific threat alert was received for this place," he added.

Footage broadcast on local television stations showed chaotic scenes in the park, with people running while carrying children and cradling the wounded in their laps.

A witness, not identified by name on Pakistan's Geo TV station, said he was heading toward a ride with his wife and two children when he heard a huge bang and all four of them were thrown to the floor.
