Muhyyee-Ud-din Abdul-Rahman is eighteen years old, and like many young men his age, he had big dreams. Abdul-Rahman’s dreams, however, didn’t run along the lines of owning a Karma Kaveya. Instead, Abdul-Rahman wanted to become a bombmaker for jihad groups, and he researched the Philadelphia Pride parade and the Army-Navy game as potential targets. His father, a prominent far-left lawyer, had no comment, but one has to wonder: did this young man learn at home that this kind of behavior was acceptable?
The Associated Press reported that Abdul-Rahman was nothing if not enterprising: he “conducted at least 12 tests on homemade bombs near his family’s home before he was arrested and was close to being able to detonate devices with a blast radius of several hundred yards.”
Robert Listenbee, Philadelphia’s First Assistant District Attorney, adds that the would-be jihadi “had a scholarship to attend college as a wrestler and decided he wanted to become a bomb maker. He wanted to leave America and go to Syria to join a terrorist group. He developed bombs in his home and tested those bombs 12 to 20 times in his backyard and in the woods nearby. Some of the bomb-making parts were found in his trash before he was arrested.”

As Abdul-Rahman was doing all this, it is extremely unlikely that his parents didn’t notice: “detectives found Abdul-Rahman was collecting materials to make explosives at his parents’ [home].”
Abdul-Rahman wanted make bombs for two jihad terror groups: Katibat al Tawhid wal Jihad (KTJ), which is an al-Qaeda affiliate, and Hay’at Tahrir al Sham (HTS). He did not, however, intend to use his bomb-making skills only in Syria. CBS News notes that he “was searching online for potential targets in the Philadelphia area, specifically the Philly Pride March and the Army-Navy game. He allegedly was also looking into targeting local power plants and domestic military bases.”
How far has the apple fallen from the tree? Muhyyee-Ud-din Abdul-Rahman is the son of Qawi Abdul-Rahman, a prominent Philadelphia criminal defense attorney who ran in May 2023 for a seat as a Philadelphia Common Pleas Court judge. In a “vote for ten” election, 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 reported back in Aug. 2023 that he contacted Qawi Abdul-Rahman to ask him about his son, and found the renowned attorney extremely bellicose: “You wanna find out what I’m really about?” Qawi Abdul-Rahman asked Fiorillo. “Text or call me one more time, and you’ll find out what I’m really about.”
Qawi Abdul-Rahman has insisted, however, 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, adding, “I didn’t see it coming at all. At all. I go to court because I want people to know that Muslims are out here doing things in the community, for the community. I’m an American like everyone else.”
Of course. Qawi Abdul-Rahman’s judge campaign page features another video that proclaims that “Black Judges Matter.” In that video, he complains of judges who don’t give him and his clients the same attention and care they give to his “white counterparts.” He complained about judges and court staff “looking at us as if we don’t belong.”
Amid all this grievance-mongering, Abdul-Rahman has adopted a religion that calls for warfare against unbelievers (cf. Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, 9:5, 9:29, 47:4, etc.) and features many prominent global leaders (such as Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei) who view the United States as a hostile power against which Muslims are or should be in a state of war.
Imagine growing up in a household where such views are frequently aired (which is not to say they necessarily are in Abdul-Rahman’s house). Philadelphia officials are insisting that their young terror suspect was “radicalized on the Internet” and that his plans had nothing to do with Islam, but is anyone there looking into the possibility that his determination to strike against America arose from sources closer to home? Or is such a suggestion so far out of the bounds of our leftist-dominated public discourse today that Philly officials wouldn’t dare even allow themselves to think it?
These questions are worth answering, for the story of Muhyyee-Ud-din Abdul-Rahman is tragic. Listenbee stated, “The court referred to him as very creative, very much a critical thinker, a smart young man who also had a determination to become a bomb maker and a terrorist.” If only he had decided to use his abilities for something worthwhile. But that would have required that he have an entirely different worldview.

Wha? The Muslim religion dislikes homosexuals?

Don’t tell Dementia Joe, Alexandria Ocasio Cotez or “Queers for Palestine” and the equally stupid entitled wokelings who infest academia.
Jeff Bargholz says
Unless they’re catamites. Or closet cases like Arafat was. You just know that ugly mofo had to pay for it.
Jeff Bargholz says
Extreme lefties hate America as much as moslems do so I wouldn’t be surprised if dear old dad, the delusional anti-white racist, knew his son aspired to a career in jihadist bomb sprees.
Sonny was 17 when he got caught and investigators want him to be tried as an adult. They don’t get to make that decision though, and Rahman Noodle is a member of both the top two coddled, pampered, privileged and protected demographics in America: moslems and blacks, in descending order.
Giving up a wrestling scholarship for a VERY short career as a jihadist bomber seems a lot dumber than creative, to me.
Allan Goldstein says
Given that the parents of Ethan Crumbley were sent to prison for at least 10 years, this ‘black judge’s should be sent away for at least 5.
In prison, the ‘black judge’ can pack fudge…..and learn to appreciate gay pride the hard way.
The horse apple didn’t fall far from the horse’s ass.

Good ones!

Wokelings are invariably too candyass to stand up to Muslims or people of color. Especially for homophobia or misogyny, which make whites, Christians, Jews and non Muslim Asians anathema.

Karma Kaveya … a child slave battery car owned by science-denying civilization haters?
LOL.
Real American boys want a Ford F-150, Dodge Ram, or a Chevy Silverado depending on their relationship with their dad.
And they want one with no black box, no kill switch, no emissions or efficiency garbage. A 2003 is good. 1993 is better. A fully restored glass gas guzzler even better.
With rifle rack.
Oh, hale yeah.
They don’t want some over-priced toy that will fail when the weather is more extreme than a pleasant day in the San Francisco Bay Area. Burns when its manufacturing defects finally fail. Catches fire when the chargers are improperly installed. Cannot be charged in less than 12 hours. Requires coal-fired energy. A child-slave lithium battery … or an ethical lithium battery from lithium mined from the ocean floor.
Suddenly explodes when the Deep State figures it how and leaks it to their Muslim allies …
Nonsense.
Jeff Bargholz says
All true but a battery can be charged in eight hours, which might as well be twelve. Could you imagine waiting eight hours at a charging station? You can fill up a huge SUV or truck with gas withing minutes. Many if not most people don’t have a garage where they can hook up a home charger, not that any average American could afford the electric bill or America could provide enough electricity to power a lot of electric cars, much less than replace the 280 million vinternal combustion vehicles on the road and power them.

My bad. I’m just not qualified to do anything …
…except fix what Quota Quacks screw up.
Jeff Bargholz says
We all knew it was a typo. I just figured spell check struck again. No big deal.

bombing has nothing to do with Islam …
… and in other news water is racist …

I hope he doesn’t serve any jail time, so he can expedite his move to Syria.

Like Father Like Son? if their good t hats alright but if their as bad as Joe & Hunter, George & Alex(Soros)then their perfect role models for Movie Villian’s

no need to go on the internet to be radicalized . all that is needed is to read the horror story that is the koran . the primer of death .
Tionico says
That book of satanic verses s naught but a pile of propaganda intended to perpetuate he twisted ideas of its founder. the astounding thing is, it is still knocking about fifteen hundred years after it was written. AND being read and followed.
Intrepid says
Gee, another unfulfilled black kid with a leftist father. He takes on a rambling Muslim name and wants to build a bomb to blow up a parade.
I think we’ve seen this story before. What could possibly go wrong?
Richard Johnston says
Actually, the presence of a father is the surprising detail.
Tionico says
Pleny of things COULD go wrong, but this time something went right. The deranged mass of corrupted cells comprising this evil layabout actually got his sorry self CAUGHT before he could effect his plans. LE doing their job well and in time, for a welcome change. Cheers to these local coppers.

It sure wasn’t the Federal Bureau of Iniquity.

CowboyUp says
Someone posted something recently about the Folsom Street Festival, and mentioned it was so bad they couldn’t post pictures from it. I made the mistake of searching it, and they were right. I remember thinking it looked like an irresistible target for jihadis, and they’d eventually hit it, and the pride parades. Dems have no clue where their immigration policies are headed, but they’ll have nobody but themselves to blame.
Jeff Bargholz says
Thanks for the warning I didn’t look at it but I wondered if it was in Frisco so I did look that up. Of course the search results were accompanied by a small photo window but a shirtless exhibitionist in leather pants was the worst in it, luckily.
I think Folsom Prison would be a better place for them than the street.
Richard Johnston says
Here’s a photo of all the material on the Women’s Studies Bulletin Board bringing attention to the inferior status of women in predominantly Muslim countries–> <—
It is identical to the photo of the material on the LBGT(add whatever other letters necessary to make me "inclusive" here) bulletin board highlighting the treatment of gays in such countries.
No. Most Muslims don't commit terrorist acts. Most people don't rob houses but I keep my doors locked.
jeremiah says
Does it really matter whether most don’t commit terrorist acts? People shouldn’t be subjected to someone who belongs to a terrorist philosophy nor should they be let in a country. It’s one thing when someone follows a political ideal and the group they belong to calls for violence. it’s a whole other level when a god calls for hatred and violence.
Jeff Bargholz says
A mythical god.

It only takes one.

This report looks like kafkian absurd!
Let me whisper into your ear, just between you and me: VICE-PARADES really must not belong here. And moooooslims must not belong here either – and this report is one more illustration of it!
pinchas baram says
i like what daddy said when he complained, “they look at us as if we don’t belong.” man o man, you sure as hell don’t belong here! and he also whined, ” I’m an American like everybody else.” what a sick joke!
Warloch says
I am sure he hated gays, however, he did not target gays because he hated gays. He targeted gays because he wanted republicans and Donald Trump to be blamed as the democrat media would have done.
