New in PJ Media:
After an extensive terrorism investigation in Philadelphia, on Friday, Aug. 11, a jihadi was arrested who was, according to the FBI and Philly officials, planning major jihad massacres, not just in Philadelphia, but around the nation. He had access to guns and was building bombs. Adding to the shock of this was the fact that the young man who was arrested was only seventeen years old, and yet he now stands accused of plotting what the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office said was “the most serious alleged terrorist activity prosecuted in Philadelphia County court in recent history.” Even more shocking, it later came to light that he is the son of one of the most prominent criminal defense attorneys in Philadelphia.
The accused terror plotter was arrested at the home of Qawi Abdul-Rahman, a prominent Philadelphia criminal defense attorney who just ran for a seat as a Philadelphia Common Pleas Court judge. In a “vote for ten” election on May 16, 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.
Journalist Victor Fiorillo of Philly Mag noted Monday that he saw the arrest unfold: “I encountered major roadblocks around the 17-year-old’s house when I happened to be out running errands in his neighborhood. The FBI spent hours searching the property, removing box after box of evidence.” What was in some of these boxes could have been literally explosive: According to the UK’s Independent, “the DA’s office said the teen ‘received messages related to construction of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and to have purchased materials online such as chemical cleaners that are used to construct IEDs, as well as outdoor or tactical gear.’”
Fiorillo notes that when he contacted Abdul-Rahman, the renowned attorney quickly became bellicose: “I asked Abdul-Rahman via text if the person arrested is, indeed, his son. He called me right away. ‘You wanna find out what I’m really about?’ he told me. ‘Text or call me one more time, and you’ll find out what I’m really about.’”
In a Wednesday report in the Daily Beast, however, Abdul-Rahman admitted that it was indeed his son who had been arrested and professed amazement, staking out the position that he had little or no knowledge of what his son had been up to. He said he was “shocked and devastated” by his son’s arrest; the Beast noted that the young man has been “charged with arson, criminal conspiracy, weapons of mass destruction, and risking catastrophe, among other accusations.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

The Muslim father was shocked and devastated that his Muslim son had done acts in pursuance of the Muslim religion, all in full compliance with their Muslim Qur’an.
Yes, we should all believe his shock and devastation. We really should. No, really, we should believe that all of this came as a complete surprise.

Yes I’m sure daddy knew nothing about all the boxes of explosives 🧨 coming into his house……daddy, who waltzes around town in desert garb.

And the worst thing is that judges , persecutors and social media will all buy into the narrative that his father was an unsuspecting innocent pure lamb who is devastated at his son’s criminal behaviour , thinking otherwise would be politically incorrect .

North African style, Arabian peninsula physique
Nothing says sticking it to the man by adopting the East African slavers customs…
No wonder they hate Jews, they’ve so easily submitted to the Arabs

And on that day of allah’s judgement when he searches the faces of those before him and sees the terrified faces of the Abdul-Rahmans….oh how terrible!..as it will be obvious for all to see that they have disbelieved in allah.
“And for those whose faces have been blackened,it will be said unto them.
Disbelieved ye after your profession of belief?
Then taste the punishment for that ye disbelieved.
joran 3:106
Luckily for us infidels allah is NOT the Biblical God who ,unlike allah,is not so ridiculously petty as to send folks to hell on the basis of their complexion.allah sends muslimas and black people to hell:he doesn’t like them.It is true!
You see?muslims just never ever get Irony

What kind of “father” knows nothing about what his teen son is doing?
How many months was this teen working on his plans to commit terrorism and how long had be been bringing in supplies to build bombs?
Where did this teen get the funds to build up his supply of weapons and gear?
What did the teen and his “father” discuss around the dinner table? The plight of the Black defendant and the Black lawyer or the plight of the mozlum defendant and the mozlum lawyer? A combo of these?
“mozlums are out in the community.” Yes, yes they are and that concerns those of us who know their full intentions for the “community.”
The wording of the da is interesting. Breaking it down:
“n the name of a perverted ideology that in no way, shape, or form represents the beliefs of the overwhelming majority of peace-seeking people of faith, including Muslims.”
“perverted ideology” is islam in a nutshell…all of islam, every dirty fly speck
“no way, shape or form represents the beliefs of the overwhelming majority….****of peace-seeking people of faith******
Darn-tooting it doesn’t; nor those who seek peace, but do so without “faith.”
Now the “including mozlums” part…..as many people say there are mozlums who aren’t out to kill us, that there are “good people” who are mozlum…
.Who knows how many are mozlum and actually seek peace? There must be some who would like to leave that “perverted ideology” but are afraid to and would “seek peace” with others.
It is “perverted” and the da knows it. Many people who have never said it, know it.
The ugly inside and out lawyer for moalums knows it and he also knew what his son was up to with the many deliveries of stuff for making weapons of “mass destruction.”
Perhaps one of the targets was to be the court house where this Black mozlum ‘couldn’t get no justice’ for himself or his Black mozlum clients.
As Wellington noted above, the mozlum creep is a liar…big time.
