Texas man charged with threatening attack after online college class 'Zoom-bombed' ("Texas Man")

The Justice Department has filed charges against a Texas man who allegedly threatened to bomb the University of Houston and praised the Islamic State during an online class.

Ibraheem Amed Al Bayati, 19, allegedly said during the Zoom call last week "What does any of this have to do with the fact that UH is about to get bombed in a few days?" before using an Arabic pro-IS slogan, according to the indictment.

Bayati admitted to the incident on Friday after FBI agents tracked him to a family member’s house using his IP address, according to AFP. Bayati said the comment was meant as a joke, showing them texts from a friend advising him to "say some Arabic [s---] and leave lmaooooo."

However, investigators said they also found messaged with another friend in which Bayati discussed recruiting Islamic State sympathizers. He also told the friend he was “literally known” as an ISIS recruiter, according to the indictment.

Bayati has been charged on two counts in connection to making a bomb threat. He is due to appear in federal court in Houston Tuesday afternoon, AFP reported.

“Ibraheem Ahmed Al Bayati”

Correct spelling (supposedly), but still can’t find a single picture of him online (with either spelling)..

Muslims CANNOT honestly bear true faith and allegiance to the U.S.Constitution because it does not acknowledge Islam as final authority.

There is no way in hell that Ibraheem Amed Al Byati should be in the United States except by the efforts of terrorist CAIR, falsely swearing Ilhan Omar, Rashida Talib, basically any Muslim in the U.S.

They came here from their shithole countries but their intent is to turn this nation into one of them.

He’s literally an idiot.

GW Bush and Rick Perry imported large numbers of muslims to Texas.
