Hard to tell what was going on here. Isaac Lopez may be a convert to Islam and a jihadi. Or he may be a leftist who admires jihadis and hates Christianity. Or he may be genuinely mentally ill. One thing is certain: authorities aren’t going to elucidate his motives.
“Man arrested after bomb threat at Miami Greek Orthodox church,” Orthodox Christianity, October 2, 2025:
A 27-year-old man was arrested Monday following a bomb scare at St. Andrew Greek Orthodox Church in Kendall on Sunday, according to the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office.
The incident occurred during Sunday Liturgy. Isaac Lopez, a Cuban national, was reportedly acting suspiciously while carrying a backpack, prompting a church member to alert an usher, reports the Miami Herald.
When confronted about his backpack, Lopez allegedly told the usher, “It’s a bomb,” before handing over the bag. The usher secured the backpack in a nearby room.
Minutes later, a loud, high-pitched alarm resembling a ticking countdown sounded throughout the church, disrupting the service. Deputies said Lopez ran to the room where the backpack had been placed, put his phone—which was making the ticking noise—inside the bag, and returned to the service.
As the service ended, Lopez reportedly yelled the Islamic terrorist phrase, “Allahu Akbar”—Arabic for “God is great,” causing fear among congregants, according to authorities….

Allah’s Muslims powerfully threaten Non-Muslims as taught in Islamic Law and in Islam’s Quran(Quran 9:5, 29, 111, etc.). This is the true, violent face of Islam and its Muslims, a TERRORIST-CRIMINAL GANG ENTERPRISE.
Allah’s hateful Islam, a CRIMINAL-TERRORIST ENTERPRISE and a MURDEROUS-DEMONIC CULT OF BELIEVERS, Terrorist Muslim Soldiers for Allah, continually fund, promote, and practice ideological subversion, propaganda, bigotry, discrimination, deceit, industrial-scale slavery, human trafficking, intimidation, supremacy, segregation, hatred, incitement to violence, criminality, genocide, victimhood, censorship, and terrorism as taught in Islamic Law, Sharia, and in Islam’s Quran(Quran 5:14,35; 8:60; 9:41, 88, etc.).
As taught by Allah, Muslims are terrorists for Allah with their MONEY and their LIVES. Allah in Qur’an 49:15 states, “Surely the believers[Muslims] are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed jihad with their MONEY and their LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.” Allah in Quran 4:101 says, “…Surely the infidels(Non-Muslims) were your clear enemies.”
MUSLIM BELIEVERS are a greater TERROR than Allah. Allah in Qur’an 59:13 says, “You[Muslims] are a greater terror in their chests than Allah. This is because they[Jews & Christians] are people who do not understand.” Islam must be banned as illegal, and we have the legal right to defend ourselves from Muslim violence. As a result, Non-Muslims are marked for death by Islam and its Muslims.

Cuban national? Send him back to Cuba! Surely, Havana would love to have someone like him, and could admit him into the Communist Party
OLD GUY says
Sounds like a good plan.

A former Muslim, responsible for the Islamization of Europe, recently stated in an interview that Islamophobia in France greatly bothers Muslims. Apparently, Islamophobia is too widespread, to the point that Muslims regularly wonder whether it wouldn’t be better to leave France and abandon their Islamization project rather than endure this Islamophobia.
It’s not the French elite who are Islamophobic, but the majority of the population. There are some slightly crazy leftists, but many French people can no longer stand Islam, its demands, its arrogance, and its desire to dominate.
It therefore seems to me that becoming ultra-Islamophobic and spreading very strong Islamophobia in our countries could contribute to discouraging Muslims from their ambitions, and perhaps also cause some to decide to return to live in Muslim countries.
Huh?!? says
Praise for French citizens. This is what needs to happen in the U.S.
OLD GUY says
Absolutely
FedUp says
Haha! Right. Sadly as a neighbor of France, in Germany, that is not likely to happen. The only way the b*stards will leave europe is to stop giving their lazy butts free hand outs, and discouraging their growth. You would not believe how much their arrogant demands are pandered to in europe and how they snear at us in the streets, they will not meet your eyes, men or women, in most of their eyes we are the scum of the earth, here to serve them. Beautiful Germany slowly becoming a hell whole. They have no respect for this once orderly, beautiful, clean country! Delivery people, esp. the ones who appear from middle east, leave packages in the streets rather than ring doorbells. They were delivering new recycling cans and i watched from the balcony above. They harshly shoved them to the ground out of the truck, when their behavior is called out they respond with disdain and pull the “i don’t speak German” card. What Trump said is true. Europe is going to hell! France is horrible, some years ago i cut a trip short, felt very unsafe on the streets, it has become a dirty, unsafe country in many places. It is truly sad to witness. When i got here in 2010, i tried to explain what is found in the quran, noone wanted to hear it. But as i have mentioned before here, many of those same people now deny the Holocaust, a once unthinksble offense in Germany, post WWII. The Internet, such great potential, has brought the world to total lunacy. I follow anti-semitic chambers on the internet. I now learned of a new, for me, anti-Israel conspiracy, from a Rasta German, here it is: the people currently running israel are not the original Israelites-Jews. The original Jews went to Africa and the self-proclaimed Jews in Israel are criminal, colonialist impostors. What will AI do with all this madness? Make us logical, smarter, sane?? I don’t think so.
Huh?!? says
As Islam and the Left continue marching the U.S. will see more attacks on churches. Islam does cry out ” Death to America.” I say “No.” Uncle Sam must defend itself with increasing hardness against Islam. Islams’ own teachings will provide the U.S. with cause.

Miami: Man enters Greek Orthodox church, screams ‘Allahu akbar,’ says he has a bomb
Hard to tell what was going on here. Isaac Lopez may be a convert to Islam and a jihadi. Or he may be a leftist who admires jihadis and hates Christianity.

Disgusting either way.
OLD GUY says
I’am sure he struck terror into members of this church service. Therefore he should be charged with terrorism and jailed for a long time. But knowing our justice system he will be determined to be mentally incompetent and released until he hurts someone.
R G says
Don’t be so quick to say nothing will happen to him. Remember, this is Florida, not Western Europe or even Oregon. I’m certain states attorneys in Miami Dade county will prosecute him for bomb threats. If not Governor Desantis will likely become involved.
OLD GUY says
I certainly hope so!
