Feirstein, whose family owns Cal’s Bar and Liquors
at 400 S. Wells, said there were about 20 people inside when the car
bomb was allegedly supposed to go off.
Dozens more were in a neighboring bar. Both sit
just outside the southwest corner of the Loop, only yards from the
elevated CTA tracks.
Feirstein and his co-workers said they didn’t see
Adel Daoud, the man federal authorities allege was the bomber intent on
engaging in violent jihad.
But they saw enough Friday night to know Cal’s was the target.
Approximately 15 undercover agents wearing earpieces surrounded the bar around 8 p.m., said Chris Meadows, a Cal’s bartender.
They were surrounding a Jeep Cherokee parked
outside. A tarp was draped over the back of the SUV, covering the
tailgate area, he said.
When revealing charges against the 18-year-old
Daoud of west suburban Hillside, federal authorities said he pressed a
button that he thought would detonate a bomb-laden Jeep Cherokee outside
a downtown bar in an alleged Islamicist plot. The bomb in the back was a
fake, built by the FBI, however, prosecutors said....
According to the complaint, Daoud selected his
target because alcohol was being served, which is against the Muslim
religion, and because many people would be there. The target would be
filled with “the evilest people . . . all the kuffars are there,” he
allegedly wrote.
Feirstein, whose family has owned the venue for 47
years, laughed at that. “The evilest of the evil?” he said. “He’s maybe
the most ignorant of the ignorant.”
No, this Muslim thug didn't watch an Internet movie and clearly, this thug hates America. The threats to Americans by Islamic terrorists is still real and we still need to keep our guard up.
Finally, was this Muslim thug part of any organized crime wave that was connected to the riots overseas? I guess we will see.
But at least the Imam at his Mosque has some common sense and tried to talk the thug out of crime: According to the criminal complaint, Daoud claimed he had recently
clashed with his imam over his beliefs. His imam had “yelled” at him and
told him to stop discussing violent jihad at the mosque, the complaint
states. A second imam also tried to convince him violent jihad was
wrong, the complaint states.
Good for those Imams.
