Al Qaeda calls for copycats to target US citizens on planes while praising Dubai flight hijacker: ‘America will end’
NY Post ^ | 10/03/26 | Gabrielle Fahmy, Geoff Earle, Ariel Zilber

Al Qaeda called for copycat attacks on Americans and Israeli airliners in a vile post referencing 9/11 and praising the Dubai flight hijacker — whose social media accounts shared photos of one of the terror group’s leaders.

The call appeared to come Friday in the latest edition of al-Bayan, a weekly publication launched in July by pro-Al Qaeda supporters, which invoked both the Sept. 11 attacks and Wednesday’s attempted takeover of Flydubai Flight FZ1073.

“The war isn’t over yet — planes carrying Zionists, Americans and all the other infidels fighting against Islam are still hovering in the skies and can be targeted, as happened on September 11th and 30th,” the Arabic-language article threatened.

The article included an image of a plane crashing into the Twin Towers on Sept. 11, 2001, alongside an image referencing Wednesday’s attack on the Dubai-to-Tel Aviv flight.

“America and the Zionists have far more enemies today than before,” the article said. “Perhaps a man who does not believe in God will target them and his operation will ultimately benefit Islam.”

It added: “The day will come when the empire of evil America will end.”

The publication’s Telegram channels appeared to be circulating the post Saturday before it was apparently taken down.

Terrorism expert Evan Kohlmann, who initially told The Post the group appeared to be trying to capitalize on the Flydubai attack, said the social-media material linked to accused co-pilot Hamam al-Hammami added a significant new wrinkle.

Here’s what I don’t understand: Al Qaeda is specifically an Islamic group. They’re calling for the use of terror to kill us.

If the US Conference of Catholic Bishops did the same thing, every media outlet, coast to coast, would be running wall-to-wall coverage of “right wing Christian nationalism” and how it needs to stop.

But Al Qaeda... nothing. Al Aqsa... nothing. Hamas, Hezbollah... nothing.

The Left, the media, the globalists... they want us dead, folks. They’re not even trying to hide it anymore. And they’re too chickenshit to start a hot war, because they know that sleeping giant will bury them. But terrorism... oh no, that’s control.

Not just pilots, but mechanics, anyone related to flying for this matter.

But as we know, that doesn’t even cover the possibilities. Cars, in buildings, walking, since some of them are taught since birth to martyr themselves, can any situation near them be trusted safe?

At a rural county fair this year for the first time I saw an Islam info booth (also halal food vendors). Was odd to see the info booth. Not sure if info was about generic islam, govt freebies, or what. I didn’t take info, but if next time will.

"Al Qaeda calls for copycats to target US citizens on planes"

More Al Qaeda need to be spending some quality time with osama.

I don’t want to have to live under the threat of Islamic terror any longer than it takes to nuke that little black stone of theirs back into space, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

If their misery is such that the world will never be big enough for the both of us then we should put them out of it.

I can’t think of anything else with the potential to show them that the error of their ways has brought about the mother of all illuminations.

Yet Chuckie Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Dick Durbin, Hakeem Jeffries, Cory Booker, and the Squad continue to fight President Trump for fighting back.

“The day will come when the empire of evil America will end.”
They’ve begun doing this in Michigan, New Jersey, Minnesota, Texas, New York and everywhere else but not yet on our radar. They are using our Constitution, laws, democrats and media to accomplish their historic goal that reaches back thousands of years.
And we sit still for it?
Bring on the crusades once again!

Al Qaeda= Iran.

Just redo the entire article and substitute Iran, like this:

“Iran called for copycat attacks on Americans and Israeli airliners in a vile post referencing 9/11 and praising the Dubai flight hijacker — whose social media accounts shared photos of one of the terror group’s leaders.

The call appeared to come Friday in the latest edition of al-Bayan, a weekly publication launched in July by pro-Iran supporters, which invoked both the Sept. 11 attacks and Wednesday’s attempted takeover of Flydubai Flight FZ1073.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Man who does not believe in God” is interesting given how Islam is now aligned with the atheist left.

They don’t have to hijack and crash planes to end America, our own government is doing it for them by importing and supporting millions of muslims.

Another reason that I no longer fly. If I cannot get there by car, I ain’t going. There is no place that is that important to me to go to. I have been around the world, so why go again. I like it here.
