Jehad Serwan Mostafa “was once president of the now-defunct Muslim Youth Council of San Diego, which said on its website that it was ‘dedicated to showing the world that Islam is a religion of peace and Muslims are a peaceful and productive part of society.’ Mostafa’s father, Halim Mostafa, a Kurdish Syrian, made a low-budget film, ‘Mozlym,’ that was released in 2008 and billed as an effort to show how the true meaning of Islam is often lost amid misconceptions of non-Muslims in America.”
Of course, anyone who raises the possibility that some moderate Muslims might not be entirely on the level is immediately denounced as a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.”
“US man faces new terrorism charges, allegedly the highest-ranking citizen fighting overseas,” by Eliott Spagat, Associated Press, December 3, 2019:
A U.S. citizen on the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist List has been charged with additional crimes involving ties to Somalia’s al-Shabaab rebel group, according to a federal indictment unsealed Monday.
Jehad Serwan Mostafa, 37, a former San Diego resident, was indicted on similar charges in 2009.
Without providing specifics, the new counts accuse him of having key roles in al-Shabaab activities and providing material support from 2008 to 2017.
The FBI said it learned this year that he is a leader in al-Shabaab’s “explosives department.”
“Today, Mostafa is believed to be the highest-ranking United States citizen fighting overseas for a terrorist organization,” said Scott Brunner, the agent in charge of the FBI office in San Diego….
Mostafa was born in Waukesha, Wisc., and raised in San Diego, where authorities say he has relatives. He graduated from the University of California, San Diego, in 2005 and — according to an FBI poster offering a $5 million reward for information leading to his arrest — joined al-Shabaab around 2006, authorities said….

Peace? Where? When?
Terry Gain says
Islam is a vile Conquest Ideology. It is neither peaceful nor a religion. The West won’t begin to deal with the former until it accepts the latter.
James Lincoln says
Terry Gain,
We all know that, in the United States, the right to practice your religion is guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution.
Islam is currently, rightfully or wrongfully, considered to be a religion in the United States – and is thus given the same protections as other religions.
Islam is a totalitarian conquest ideology – with some religious elements – that seeks to have the entire West submit to sharia law. It is thus at war with the West.
So Islam is at war with us, but Muslims are protected by their religion.
Something has to change…

Ironically the west and its freedoms are allowing .slam to take over.
Jule Bacal says
That is not quite true. Even Religions have to follow laws. Muslim men cannot continue to beat their wives, if they can get the support to go to authorities. Muslims cannot cut the throats of disbelievers of those who become x-muslim.
There are many examples for all kinds of religions…if one says Eat the hearts of enemies…they cannot practice. Shia will not be allowed to parade the boys and men through the streets beating themselves until blood is flowing with people watching in approval. The Qur’an says ‘enemies’ of Allah should be tortured and killed in the most horrific ways in public so as to put a stop to all protest. That is their way of coming to PEACE. When people have no voice.

The Constitution does *not* guarantee that Muslims can wage violent Jihad. This is quite mistaken.

Cursed islam

A guy w/ the first name ‘Jehad’ trying to teach people that Islam is about peace? From the ‘stuff-you-can’t-make-up’ department
Also, he’s a Syrian Kurd. What’s it that we were hearing about Syrian Kurds just a few weeks ago when Turkey was steamrolling Syrian Kurdish outposts?
Jule Bacal says
Kurds taken over by Islam generations ago are just Muslim now. Some Kurds are Christian, some other religions of old Persia or Zoroaster. But a Muslim is a Muslim and if they follow the Qur’an (even without the Hadiths), they are sick thinking/living individuals.
I know some Muslims whose region was taken over by Islam long ago but here in the US, the husband says he is atheist and the wife said her parent sent her to a Christian school because they were well off and wanted her to have a good education…so she does Islam like a Christian but cannot bring herself to say she is not Muslim. She is afraid though she never goes to Mosque or follows any other traditions accept no eating pork. But I know many vegans and Jewish who will eat pork. (I have heard that custom came from ancient people knowing how pigs carry so many parasites, so raising them needs care And cooking has to be well done.)

Yes–who can be surprised that a guy named “Jehad” is a Jihadist?
elee says
He was right, Islam….meaning submission….brings peace to all. Those who submit get a semblance of worldly peace, at least as long as they pay sufficient jizya with sufficient displays of self-abasement, Those who do not submit get the peace of the grave, probably minus the grave. And those ingrate kafirs wont accept the peace of Islam, so naturally they reside in Dar-al-Harb. Well, what can you expect from mushrikun?

America is being colonized by Muslims with the help of commie Democrats
