New Orleans ISIS terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar had a workbench in his bedroom that was set up for making bombs – while a Quran on his bookshelf nearby was left open to a passage about “slaying” in the name of Allah, exclusive photos obtained by The Post show.

Jabbar’s Texas home was filled with chemical residues and chemical bottles, while an investory of items seized by the FBI — left behind by investigators who raided his house on Wednesday — included a long list of compounds used in bomb-making.

His Quran was propped atop a bookshelf – where it stood as a centerpiece over his living room. It was open to a passage reading “they fight in Allah’s cause, and slay and are slain; a promise binding…”

That passage – Verse 9:111 – expounds on Muslims’ responsibility to kill Allah’s enemies, and to be willing to die for that mission in return for eternity in paradise.

Numerous books about Islam were also on the shelf and around the house, while a prayer rug was rolled up nearby.

Not really. I was in my work room the other day doing some soldering and building an antenna. In the cabinet at the end of the room is where i keep my reloading supplies. In the next room over, I have some threaded pipe used when I rebuilt my furnace. In the next room beyond that, have remote triggers that I used to set off flash units from my camera.

Clearly, if you put all that stuff together, it could be problematic. And my neighbors would say they never saw anything suspicious. Because there is NOTHING suspicious—all of those things are legit, and not worthy of a second look.

It would require some “intent” and that cannot be seen from the outside.

I’ve seen this movie before. Someway, somehow, a well-manicured media figure gets to walk in and totally mess up an important crime scene.

As a rule: if it’s an ongoing-investigation, the crime scene should not be shown to the public. Reason: it may show evidence that could be used in future court cases.
