NYC Islamist terrorists charged

Two young men who threw two makeshift explosive devices into a crowd in New York City on March 7 have been charged with terrorism. Ibrahim Kayumi and Emir Balat, ages 19 and 18, of Turkish and of Afghan descent, grew up in upper-middle-class homes. They assembled and ignited devices containing high explosives and bolts meant to rip through people’s bodies. The bombs failed to explode as intended among people at a protest outside the mayor’s residence. The men praised Allah and said they were inspired by the Islamic State and wanted to kill more people than in the Boston Marathon bombing. Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s statement began by focusing on the “white supremacist” protest organizer, conspicuously omitting the names of the would-be murderers and avoiding the word terrorism. Mainstream news headlines intentionally avoided the words “Islamic,” “terror” and “bomb.” The Islamist terrorist threat continues to exist within American society, yet politicians and news executives continue to obscure the truth.
