Allah tells man to firebomb Yale Power Plant

Of course, deities of all sorts have been accused of giving such orders in the past. By the "disappointed office seeker" and assassin Charles Guiteau's account, the Christian God told him to murder President James Garfield. The only difference here is that in the Qur'an and Sunnah, Allah actually does call for this kind of belligerence toward Infidels.

NEW HAVEN — A man who allegedly confessed to a downtown carjacking, a Yale University fire bombing, two New York City robberies and other crimes that police can’t yet confirm he committed, was placed on a mental health watch by a Superior Court judge Monday.

When detectives picked up Robert Thompson, 30, of West Haven, and told him he was wanted on a West Haven warrant, he allegedly told detectives, “Good, because I want to tell you about all the crimes I’ve been doing.”

Thompson was charged over the weekend with the June 6 carjacking at Church and Chapel streets and is under investigation for allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail over the fence at the Yale power plant at 18 Tower Parkway June 7. He told Detective Wayne Bullock that Allah instructed him how to “melt down” the plant, according to documents filed in court Monday. It didn’t cause any damage.

The investigation involved both Yale and New Haven police, as well as NYPD and a federal joint terrorism task force.

Assistant Chief Peter Reichard said detective were still trying to verify Thompson’s claims that he started robbing banks and stores in 2004. He told detectives he did it to show “the system” that he wasn’t insane....

This is jihad in the US. Why is it not reported as such?
