Law enforcement officials in Philadelphia, on Wednesday, provided an update to a case involving a teen boy who, officials claim, communicated with a group affiliated with Al-Qaeda and allegedly purchased materials online in an effort to obtain weapons of mass destruction.

During an event on Wednesday morning, First Assistant District Attorney Robert Listenbee said Muhyyee-ud-din Abdul-Rahman, 18, of West Philadelphia, not only had bomb-making materials, that were found in the trash at his home, he had tested bombs in the woods behind his home and had likely considered an attack on Philly's LGBTQ community. ---SNIP--- In an interview with law enforcement officials, Listenbee said Abdul-Rahman was upset about homosexuality and how it was “pressed upon children in the United States.”

Is this the kid who wanted to bomb Army Navy game?

[johniegrad]

He must not have known that “Queers [are] For Palestine.”

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Muhyyee-ud-din Abdul-Rahman?

I don't think he's from one of Philadelphia's Main Line families, or heir to the Wanamaker fortune. .

[Robert A Cook PE]

He must be on at least one of the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist group: White, male. Anti-LBQWERTYPED, you know.

(Never a recently converted Muslim radical.)

(Well, Always an FBI-DHS capitolist: white, male, pro-life conservative Judeo-Christian-Catholic veteran. ) /sarchasm

Maybe the LBTGQ should “tone it down” to avoid potential attacks.

It’s what they have advised Trump to do!

Pennsylvania Ping!

Please ping me with articles of interest.

FReepmail me to be added to the list.

[Leep]

The article doesn’t ID the MONTHS AWAY FROM BEING AN ADULT as a Muslim?

[Smellin Salt]

He’s of the Roxborough ud-din Abdul-Rahman‘s!

[the OlLine Rebel]

Can I please make a guess first without reading beyond headline?

I’m guessing Moslem.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Score!

I’m correct.

I’m upset about homos being pushed on children and all of us, too.

But, I’m still not going to bomb anyone over it, or even knife them. More likely I’ll get knifed for speaking against it.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Schadenfruede.

Again. Always with liberals and their preferred groups.

[Chewbarkah]

If “had likely considered” holds up in court, God help us. AFAIK, “considering” doing something illegal is not illegal per se. Elsewise, most people would be in jail.

If you wonder why the terrorist’s picture is difficult to find, here’s your answer:

[the OlLine Rebel]

Black Moslem?

Now I want to know what his parents’ names are. Which will lead to what his original given name was.

The other day I was on my way to work a football game at the local college .

At an intersection, I see a sharply attired young black man hawking nrpewspapers . Nation of Islam ! 3 of them. I had not seen those guys in awhile, pre -Covid at least.

Muhyyee-ud-din Abdul-Rahman ---

isn't he from the Philadelphia Main Line Abdul-Rahmans?

[PghBaldy]

First thing I thought of too!

[Organic Panic]

Diversity is our greatest strength

[ncalburt]

I thought he was a Mayflower descended .
