It was just a prank for his YouTube channel, but how was anyone in the restaurant going to know that for sure? Of course, by scattering in terror, they were reinforcing “Islamophobic” stereotypes involving the possibility that Muslims screaming “Allahu akbar” and saying they have a bomb might be intending to commit an act of violence.

“Manhattan Man Who Identifies As An ‘Incel’ Or ‘Involuntary Celibate’ Pleads Guilty To Carrying Out Hoax Bomb Threat At Restaurant,” Department of Justice, November 12, 2021:
Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced today that MALIK SANCHEZ, a/k/a “Smooth Sanchez,” pled guilty to making a hoax threat to detonate a bomb at a restaurant in the Flatiron neighborhood in New York, New York, on or about February 13, 2021. SANCHEZ pled guilty before United States Magistrate Judge Kevin N. Fox in Manhattan federal court. The case is assigned to United States District Judge Colleen McMahon.
According to the Indictment, Complaint, and other public documents in the case, as well as statements made during the plea proceeding:
SANCHEZ self-identifies as an “Involuntary Celibate” or “Incel,” which refers to a group of individuals with an active online community, mostly men, who believe that society unjustly denies them sexual or romantic attention to which they are entitled. Through online activity and in some instances violence, Incels target those who they believe are unjustly denying them sexual or romantic attention, which in most cases are women….
On or about February 13, 2021, SANCHEZ posted a video that depicts him perpetrating a hoax bomb threat at a restaurant in Manhattan’s Flatiron neighborhood. The video shows SANCHEZ approaching an outdoor seating area in front of the restaurant and stating: “Let’s enhance their meal.” SANCHEZ then positioned himself close to two women seated at one of the tables, and conveyed that he was about to detonate a bomb. SANCHEZ loudly stated: “Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar. Bomb detonation in two, in two minutes. I take you with me and I kill all you. I kill all you right now. And I kill all you for Allah. . . . I’m gonna do it. I’m gonna fucking do it for Allah. I’m gonna do it, for, Allah, Allah, Allahu Akbar, Come on. I do it, bomb now, bomb now.” The two women appeared startled, gathered their belongings, and went into the restaurant; approximately four other individuals in the seating area grabbed their belongings and ran away. SANCHEZ then stated: “Yo, all of them scattered” and “Holy shit boys. That was fucking five stars. That was five stars.” At least one individual called 911 in connection with the bomb threat, and law enforcement responded to the scene. By that point, SANCHEZ had left the area.

SANCHEZ, 19, of New York, New York, pled guilty to one count of conveying false and misleading information and hoaxes, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1038, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. The maximum potential penalty is prescribed by Congress and is provided here for informational purposes only, as any sentencing of the defendant will be determined by a judge….

Hmmmm, New Yorkers won’t want to admit it publically, but they know – they know – that Islam isn’t a religion of peace.
Didn’t they scatter fast!!!

This is kind of like when a bully makes a joke about bending you into a pretzel. He’s disguising his threat as humor.
This Muslim is smart enough to know if he does an actual attack, he’d be putting his life at risk. So what’s the next best thing to achieve almost the same results? Make a threat but couch it as a ‘joke.’
And if he gets caught, he just claims he’s a clown with the YT channel doing it for the views. Then he can whine about how touchy and Islamophobic non-Muslims are, so in his view it’s a win-win.
Glad he was arrested and faces real jail-time for his so-called prank. We can no longer make such jokes because there is no way to know if the threat is serious or not since Muslims do actually carry out such attacks.

This particular YouTuber missed his big chance:
He should have picked a restaurant packed full with muslim apologists.

The guy who wrote the article doesn’t know or want to know the difference between an ideology’s exponents and a crazy follower.
Lookism is scientific,it even appears as approved in the biased Leftist Wikipedia article “Lookism”, with a section called “Empirical support”.
Even saying:”The term “lookism” grew in popularity in the 1970s within the fat acceptance movement. ”
Now,THE best youtuber on the subject is WHEAT WAFFLES, from the UK,20 years old,has an IQ of 130
( testified by MENSA:the largest and oldest high IQ society in the world.).
