The two teens charged with hurling IEDs during a rowdy demonstration outside Gracie Mansion unleashed chilling ISIS-inspired screeds after their arrests, authorities said Monday. Emir Balat, 18, and 19-year-old Ibrahim Kayumi, drove to Manhattan from their upscale Pennsylvania homes with the intent to cause mayhem and kill – all in the name of the Islamic State, according to the federal complaint against them. “This isn’t a religion that just stands when people talk about the blessed name of the prophet,” Balat allegedly said after being cuffed by cops on Saturday.
“We take action. If I didn’t do it someone else will come and do it.” When he arrived at an NYPD precinct, Balat allegedly asked cops for pen and paper – and scribbled a disturbing manifesto proclaiming his extremist beliefs. “All praise is due to Allah lord of all worlds,” he allegedly wrote. “I pledge my allegiance [sic] to the Islamic State. Die in your rage yu [sic] kuffar.”
