In Memphis, Jihad Costs Only $100

No comments

On Friday, Memphis resident Muhammad Ibrahim entered seven businesses and informed them that if they didn’t close, he would blow them up. Then, when the police pull him over, they discover that he has been telling people that he wants to conduct jihad in Memphis. The police arrest him, and he kicks out the back window of the cruisor and has to be subdued according to reports. Normal people would expect his bail to be quite high. But initial reports say that he was released on $100 bond. Yes, that’s right, there aren’t any missing zeros. That really is $100. Court records now show that his bail is $50000. Ed Morrissey reports that he has left a message with the Shelby County DA’s office to clarify whether the original reports were wrong, and will post updated information once he finds out anything new.

I’d say I’m shocked, but I’m not. I suppose it could have been some Christmas generosity part on the judge, but if it was, what was going through the judge’s mind, especially given the incident earlier in the day? Are people stupid or is it just me? More as it becomes available.

Homegrown extremists alert:

The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has arrested four terrorists in New York City after they bought what they thought were explosives and a Stinger missile to be used to blow up two synagogues and shoot down a plane at a nearby National Guard base.

The four men are from New York City and bear American names but told authorities they are linked with terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The FBI is still investigating their backgrounds.

This was the second attack on synagogues in Riverdale in the last several years. The Conservative Synagogue of Riverdale was attacked with Molotov cocktails by Muslim extremists. The bomb struck the front door and extinguished itself, causing minimal damage. Thankfully, the latest group was infiltrated by the FBI early on, and the terrorists were sold inert C-4 and an inactive missile by an FBI informant from a local mosque.
Failed Messiah has more on this.
