re: January 1, 2025: Multiple casualties on Bourbon Street after terrorist attack..

Yeah, I did that...

I didn't see much beyond some local mosques making some comments.

I guess I was expecting a more consistent response from whatever passes for Nation of Islam centralized leadership.

I saw a mosque in Philadelphia denounced the attack and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

But not much else. The imam from Philly made sure to say "We cannot look at events that an individual chooses to do as being inspired or sanctioned by any religious beliefs.”

I’d submit a tip but if we noticed it, others did and surely someone’s reported it by now.

That's probably what everyone thinks.

Some political movements and extremist groups advocate for the revival of a caliphate as part of their agenda, often using the concept as a rallying point for political goals. These interpretations are generally rejected by mainstream Muslims, who view such efforts as a distortion of Islamic teachings and contrary to the religion’s emphasis on peace and justice.

That sounds great and eloquently insinuates that not all Muslims are in agreement that there must be a global caliphate while ridiculing the extremists of their side. However, they all fall in line at some point.

It's similar to Christianity in a way if you think about it. Christians have extremists within their side as well and though I'm quick to point out that anyone who believes a woman that gets pregnant via IVF has sinned since she did so in an "unnatural" way is ridiculous but at the end of the day, those same extreme Christians will be on the same side of the line drawn in the sand as those who think that's ridiculous if it comes down to a fight between Christianity and Islam. Islamists will always have extremists and "peaceful" Islamists will always point out their faults but at the end of the day, they're all on the same side - which is against Christians. Muslims will always be ok with a global caliphate if that ever were to happen. You'd never see Muslims come to the help of Christians and be like, "whoa, hold up this isn't right". They'd instead celebrate. Why? Because it's their end goal. Don't believe any of the bullshite that the "moderate" ones spew after an Islamic terror attack. For once, I'd like for a reporter who's interviewing one of these moderate Muslims to follow up with, "so if Islam were to ever achieve a global caliphate, would you celebrate?". Their real answer would always be "yes".

This is the way it's always been and the way it always will be.

Their statements mean NOTHING.

be it that one can only find at most 3 statements from Muslim communities, I think that is obvious

Ok, so i know now I can disregard anything you say.

Thanks for the heads-up.

There are multiple Muslim / Islamic leaders renouncing the attack....all you gotta do is google "muslim leader renounces New Orleans Attack" and you will find many links to various groups and individuals renouncing the attack.

They really needed to get ahead of it because once Patel gets in, they will be in the figurative crosshairs.

Question about this R-Salt explosive stuff he used...

Is supposedly super rare but can be made with materials that are accessible to most. The explosive itself is not accessible to most, in fact it's extremely difficult to obtain so it would likely have to have been made by Jabbar.

We all know and have heard how rare it is and that it's never been used in a terrorist attack in Europe or in America.

A google search indicates that making it using ingredients would require a very specialized knowledge and set of skills.

So are we supposed to believe that this guy who couldn't even successfully burn down the house he was staying in that night knew how to make this explosive on his own? Ok, I'll bite on that...

So he made it himself. A real estate agent who was an IT specialist in the US Army was skilled and knowledgeable enough to make this super rare and highly complex explosive on his own? I'm not buying that.

So let's assume he didn't make it on his own and that he purchased it instead. Where did he purchase it from and how? Obviously it would've had to have been purchased illegally since he obviously didn't possess the credentials to do so legally --- so who sold it to him? An accomplice.

Let's assume he didn't purchase it and was taught how to make it instead. Ok, so who taught him how to do this? An accomplice and maybe more than one.

So we're to believe his trips to Egypt and Canada in the runup to this terror attack were innocent. A single man three times divorced without his kids took a month long trip to Egypt and another one to Canada for leisure? I'm not buying that. He went to Egypt to either purchase this explosive and somehow smuggle it back into the US undetected or he learned how to make it while there being radicalized.



I'm not seeing how Jabbar acted alone in this attack. I just don't buy it. The FBI knows there are more involved, they admitted it initially then walked it back, but they know more are involved.

I think modern Christianity is just more evolved. If we took some shite literally in the bible we'd be doing some heinous shite too.

They just haven't evolved. Kind of like animals.
