You never want to see a story like this. Jessica Bowie was arrested Wednesday by the FBI for plotting to bomb the New York State Capitol Building. She is a relatively recent convert to Islam and praised Allah for the 9/11 attacks. But I think it’s fair to say she wasn’t the brightest bulb in the box.
She was spotted multiple times walking around the capitol building taking photographs while wearing a full burka. She went to Home Depot and bought nails to be used as shrapnel in her bomb—while wearing her burka. She told undercover FBI agents that she wanted to bomb Times Square on New Year’s Eve and the White House, too.
While Bowie herself was never a serious threat to anyone, she is another symptom of the dangerous radicalization that is taking place throughout the West. It’s a radicalization driven by hatred for Judeo-Christian civilization and hatred of Christians and Jews.
