Suspects arrested using smoking explosive devices in New York over the weekend said to be inspired by Islamic State (IS).
Those men displayed their devices during an Anti-Muslim protest by 'far-right' influencer Jake Lang outside Mayor Zohran Mamdani's official residence.
They mingled among counter-protesters when they displayed the devices.
Islamic State has been linked by some observers to foreign intelligence agencies including the US CIA and Israel's Mossad.
Recent IS activities include terrorist attacks in Afghanistan against Shia Muslims and Chinese interests which would seem to serve foreign policy goals of both Israel and or the United States.

"As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
For in the Days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark;
and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man...
Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come"
MATTHEW 24:37-39, 42 NIV BIBLE

"WEDDING SONG (THERE IS LOVE)"-NOEL PAUL STOOKEY
Going to a wedding today that's the plan so I had to include the "Wedding Song" by Noel Paul Stookey in the music this week.
"Do you know that in Scripture Jesus spoke about Hell four times more often than he did about Heaven?"....
The Devil seemed to be summoning me to Hell when I encountered Joni Eareckson Tada 43 years ago I was unable to reach out to her to communicate I stood off in the distance and stared.
I attended a wedding today the party-reception afterwards reaching out to others de-isolating working my way out of the isolation from God and others that Hell truly is.
"REACH OUT IN THE DARKNESS"-FRIEND AND LOVER
"HERE COMES THE SUN"-THE BEATLES
"CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE"-ELVIS PRESLEY
Those last two songs part of the wedding celebration I attended today and what about Scripture from the ceremony.
"Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust'
Surely he will save you from the fowlers snare and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day.
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
You will observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked.
PSALM 91:1-10 NIV BIBLE
"But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
