The FBI has foiled another Islamic terrorist attack by a Muslim convert in Miami. His explanation to the judge about the reason he wanted to bomb this synagogue was “I have a lot of love for Allah”.

CBN NEWS – The FBI has thwarted a terrorist plot to bomb a Jewish center in Miami.
The 40-year-old suspect, James Medina, is being charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction against the Aventura-Turnberry Jewish Center.
Authorities say he converted to Islam about four years ago, and in court Monday he told the judge his name is now “James Mohammad.”
The would-be terrorist said he wanted to carry out the attack because, “I have a lot of love for Allah.”
“I know that all these, all these wars are going on, it hurts me too – you know? It’s my call of duty,” Mohammad said.
Mohammad reportedly planned to attack a synagogue on a Jewish holiday like Yom Kippur by shooting attendees with an AK-47.
But the complaint filed against him in court reveals he later switched to the idea of a bomb because he wanted to ensure a clean getaway. He tried to retrieve that bomb from an FBI informant on Friday.
