NY-Fortunate Fail Bombing Attempt

| Security Footage in Times Square |
This weekend, in Times Square, a vendor saw a smoking Nissan Pathfinder. That vendor called the police, and as soon as they were the scene, they found a bomb capable of creating a huge fireball inside of the car. Fortunately they were able to disable this fertilizer-propane bomb before it was set off and no one was hurt.
A theory, I have heard is that the Nissan Pathfinder, Car bomb, was indented to frighten Viacom, the owners of Comedy Central and South Park. The reason being is that Parker and Stone had recently featured a picture of Muhammad in a bear costume. They had received a grave amount of threats, and this is not the first time we have seen this sort of violence stem from issues related to depicting Muhammad. In fact, a similar bomb had been planted in London due to aversions of having Muhammad depicted. This evidence make us believe that since the bomb was near the Viacom's offices that the terrorist had planned for the destruction of Viacom property.
One thing that I do not understand is the emotions behind these extremist. Everyone get angry sometimes, but to go and kill people is a ridiculous idea. Even if these terrorist are claiming this is Jihad movement, it is ludicrous and in fact has no base. A jihad is a literally a struggle, but is widely interpreted as a social reform movement such as MLK or Gandhi. A jihad is not a holy war and has nothing to do with violence.
Of course we do not know for sure if it was actually intended for Parker and Stone. The owner of the actual car was also investigated by the FBI and was released because they do not consider him a person of interest. We hopefully will because the supposed culprit, who was videotaped taking of his shirt was caught, arrested, and held for questioning. It is unclear if he is the perpetrator. Mr. Kelly, the New York City Police Commissioner, said in an interview Monday morning with WCBS Radio that, “They’ve got the top laboratory in the world to do these sorts of examinations, and we’ll keep some samples here," so hopefully this will be solved swiftly and the villain will be put to justice.
Another point that makes this a game changer is that unlike other countries we have been fortunate enough not to be plagued with car bombs. After all a lot of Middle Eastern countries and Israel find the thought of a car bomb very mundane not to say that we have not had our fair share of violence.
