Islamic State Promises to Send a Suicide Bomber to New York City’s Times Square
After issuing a promise to carry out an attack on Washington D.C., ISIS has said in a new video message they will deploy a suicide bomber to New York City’s Times Square.
New York City officials, including Mayor Bill DeBlasio and NYPD Chief Bill Bratton, held a press conference late last night to encourage New Yorkers to remain aware of their surroundings, but not to change their daily habits.
“We cannot be intimidated, and that’s what terrorists seek to do. They seek to create fear. They seek to intimidate. We will not be intimidated, and we will not live in fear,” Bratton said.
“We are aware of the newly-released ISIS video that mentions Times Square. While some of the video footage is not new, the video reaffirms the message that New York City remains a top terrorist target,” the NYPD released in a statement late last night. “While there is no current or specific threat to the City at this time, we will remain at a heightened state of vigilance and will continue to work with the FBI, the Joint Terrorism Task Force and the entire intelligence community to keep the City of New York safe. In addition, we are continuing to deploy additional Critical Response Command (CRC) teams throughout the City, out of an abundance of caution.”
With the upcoming Thanksgiving parade and holiday season, which includes the annual celebration of New Year’s eve in Times Square, it’s a popular time to be in New York City.
The destruction of democratic, liberal societies and its replacement with a medieval form of Islam and the conversion or death of all infidels is the aim.
Those who ignore this reality and instead prefer to blame Israel are responsible for the coming mayhem and carnage. Those who obsess about Jews building homes in places that are legally and historically part of the Jewish homeland instead of fighting a real menace to peace and civilisation are following in the footsteps of Nero who fiddled while Rome burnt. Politicians who refuse to call this war by its real name and shy away from using the “i” word, instead waffling on about “radicalized folks” and jihadists (as though that has nothing to do with Islam), are guilty of willful deception. That’s no way to wage a war.
Unless and until the rest of the world “gets it” the outlook is bleak. Most Israelis (except for the usual suspects) got it a long time ago. It’s about time the international community caught up because time is running out.
