Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Three days before his arrest on jihad terror charges, U.S. Muslim convert called for respect for U.S. military uniform

Mar 24, 2014 4:27 pm By Robert Spencer

“War is deceit,” said Muhammad, and Ased Abdur-Raheem, formerly (and currently in the mainstream media, ever anxious to protect the image of Islam) known as Nicholas Teausant, took his words to heart. “don’t get me wrong I despise america,” he wrote on Instagram, “and want its down fall but yeah haha. Lol I been a part of the army for two years now and I would love to join Allah’s army but I don’t even know how to start.” When he thought he had found a way, he ended up getting arrested. One may hope that while he is in jail he ponders on how Allah could have allowed that, and realizes the evil of the course he was on.

“Interview with Nicholas Teausant on March 14,” from News10, March 17 (thanks to Omar):

On March 17 the U.S. Department of Justice arrested Nicholas Teausant, 20, of Acampo, Calif., for attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. News10 interviewed Nicholas Teausant on March 14 at San Joaquin Delta College in Stockton regarding a controversy involving a man who was wearing military clothing on campus. Teausant identified himself as a member of the Army National Guard.

“Complaint: Nicholas Teausant told informant he hated U.S., would kill his own mother,” by Kristopher Anderson for the Lodi News-Sentinel, March 17 (thanks again to Omar):

An Acampo man facing a terror charge wrote that he despised America and would kill his mother if necessary to fulfill his ambition to harm the U.S., according to a complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington.

He also aspired to attack the Los Angeles subway system, the complaint said.

Nicholas Teausant, a member of the U.S. Army National Guard and current student at San Joaquin Delta College, appeared in a United State District Court in Washington on Monday, where he was charged with a single count of attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. He agreed during the hearing to be returned to Sacramento to face the charge.

Following his arrest late Sunday night, the U.S. District Court released a copy of the complaint filed against Teausant, detailing plans to bomb a Los Angles subway, see America in a state of civil war and join al-Qaida.

The complaint paints a portrait of an increasingly disaffected young man who grew bent on harming the U.S.

Teausant first voiced his desire to join al-Qaida on May 31, 2013, when he wrote on Instagram, “don’t get me wrong I despise america and want its down fall but yeah haha. Lol I been a part of the army for two years now and I would love to join Allah’s army but I don’t even know how to start,” according to the court documents.

That post was referenced below a picture of Teausant standing in front of a U.S. Army Corps of Engineering Sacramento sign.

Three months later, Teausant wrote an online post asking for help obtaining a “lone Mujahid pocket book,” which is a how-to guide for becoming a “lone-wolf terrorist,” according to the complaint.

On Oct. 3, 2013, the FBI launched an investigation into Teausant’s activities, using an undercover law enforcement officer and a confidential civilian informant who received financial compensation.

During the next several weeks, Teausant corresponded frequently with the civilian informant, via text messages and in person meetings in Stockton, about his desire to fight in Syria with an al-Qaida spin-off organization called the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

On Oct. 20, Teausant asked the informant if he could “get them to the places they needed to go,” the complaint said.

Days later, Teausant’s desire to fight overseas escalated after reading articles on Inspire, an al-Qaida magazine, the court said. He reportedly texted the informant, “we HAVE TO DO SOMETHING NOW!”

Teausant stated his goal was “maximum fear and a maximum blow to the U.S. government so he could watch it tumble and fall in the wake of a civil war,” according to the complaint.

Teausant and the informant corresponded less and less over the coming weeks, but on Nov. 18, Teausant told the informant, via text, that he’d met two “brothers” and was making plans to “start a Free aid program in the US for the western branch,” court documents report.

On Dec. 5, Teausant asked the informant how to acquire a firework “with the biggest boom and the one that’s also compact” from Chinatown, the complaint said. Teausant later texted the informant, “Don’t go to LA Anytime … Please trust me on this … and if you do go don’t use the subway.”

In a phone call later that day, Teausant revealed that during a weekend camping trip with seven people, they discussed “hitting” Los Angles on New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day, specifically targeting the subway in Los Angles, according to the complaint.

On Jan. 4, during an face-to-face meeting, Teausant told the informant that the plan had been “tipped off” when someone was arrested by the FBI through contact on Facebook, according to the complaint.

“All these red flags are like popping in my head,” Teausant said, which caused him to terminate contact with those individuals, the informant reported.

During the conversation, he said he’d recently gained custody of his infant daughter, but arranged custody so that if he “disappeared” his mother would have parental rights while he was “off doing what (he needed) to do,” according to the complaint.

Teausant added that he wanted to bomb his daughter’s daycare because it was at a “Zionist reform church,” the complaint states.

Teausant also talked about his plans to fight in Syria with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, the informant reported. He said Teausant planned to travel to Canada via Greyhound, then fly to Syria, where he could train with fighters to shoot properly.

When the informant dropped Teausant off at his home that day, Teausant said that if his mother were to “jeopardize something that I had going, I would do what I needed to do.” Teausant added, “If I needed to, I would kill her. I love her, but she’s still a kufar (infidel or non-believer),” according to the complaint.

The informant said he suggested tying her up instead, but Teausant replied, “it’s just easier to put a bullet in the head” because “if you tie someone up, then you got to worry about them screaming …”

During the coming weeks, Teausant said he would travel to Syria during his spring break so the trip wouldn’t look suspicious, according to the complaint.

On Feb. 1, during a meeting in Lodi, the informant said his “mentor” was interested in speaking with Teausant about traveling to Syria, but the mentor was concerned Teausant’s blog was “too vocal,” according to the complaint.

The court documents say a video, which was later removed, depicted an American soldier in Iraq standing in front of a dead Iraqi. The video later shows the same American soldier beheaded, with a caption that reads, “This is why you don’t mess with us.”

Teausant said that once in Syria, he had no plans to return unless President Barack Obama was dead, Congress was gone, and there was “anarchy and chaos,” the complaint said.

The complaint reports that Teausant intended to make a video for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, but said he wouldn’t cover his face. He would be “the one white devil that leaves their face wide open to the camera.”

Teausant said that his desire was to be a “commander … in front of every single newspaper in the country,” and on the FBI’s top 12 most wanted, “because that means I’m doing something right,” the complaint said.

On March 7, during a meeting at a park in Stockton, the informant’s “mentor” — who was actually an undercover law enforcement officer — granted Teausant permission to join the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, and instructed Teausant to purchase flight tickets, according to the complaint.

The following day, Teausant told the informant he needed to sell his laptop in order to use the money for a ticket. The informant arranged for Teausant to sell it to a “friend,” who was an FBI special agent.

While some information was deleted, a significant amount of information, including Inspire magazine articles and searches for “how to build a bomb,” still remained, the complaint said….

      No, he isn’t mad. He’s a jihadist. It’s a delusion similar to Hitlerism.

      It’s a messianic death cult that brainwashes murderers to think they are holy.

      Why does Islam turn basically nice young men into traitors?

    These are the typical feeble types who are finding a way to express their hate for the States. They join Islam. Media may not call him by his new Muslim name, nevertheless we know he is after blood of the infidels. Anywhere in the World, Islam is associated with anti-America. In that respect he is not original. This Islam=Anti-America association is pretty much established the media aint going to do anything about that. One of these days, the media will get it, we see that from time to time.

    Wow this hater and creep is a perfect match for evil islam: the religion of hate.

    And he “despises America”, eh? Well, I’m glad that he was arrested; since it’s what he deserved, but he also deserves to live in some islamic hellhole in the middle east. And of lesser importance he looks like an alien! ..jeez he has one crazy lookin’ head, lol!

      “Well, I’m glad that he was arrested;”

      So am I, but frankly Champ, between us, wouldn’t you be happier if he went to to Syria and met his 72 virgins immediately upon his arrival?

    After all this, why keep him alive? If everything about him is proved and true, what purpose does it serve to lock him up? He’s irreclaimable.

    It’s a waste of time and money to put a “terrorist” through the legal system. Make him disappear, and be done with it.

    Islam: where freedom ends and slavery begins.

    Abraham Lincoln said, “To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men”. When our mainstream news will not inform you of one of the main issues of the 21st Century, due to political correctness, then it’s time not to be silent anymore.

    Muslim refugees from Somalia and other “warzones” to the tune of 500,000 being relocated to America is the issue. Forget about being labeled a racist, bigot or being politically correct, silence won’t turn back the tide. This immigration is a real and growing and is a threatening danger to America. Just look at Europe today folks.

    The time has come to speak up and take a stand folk, for America. Awareness is the issue as most families are simply far too busy, working two jobs, raising their children and do not have a clue or the time to research the issue.

    I have done that for you, if you Google “TheProjectMuslimBrotherhood” you will find that this is their doctrine to destroy America and West from within by stealth jihad, and lies. Guess what, the doctrine is over 20 years old, and they are making substantial progress. We are now approaching 2400 Mosques along with approximately 2.7 million Muslims here in America.

    Massive immigration and multiculturalism is literally destroying most of Europe today. There are over 700 “Islamic No Go Zones”, within France, England and Germany, where police cannot enter. Take a look around you Dearborn, Michigan, Maine, Tennessee, Minnesota, New York, California, Colorado for examples of the immigration resettlement program, and very soon coming to your State. Over 90% of them are illiterate and in need of public assistance. Have you been to Paris recently? The young and the rich are leaving France, immigration is bankrupting France and Europe.

    I have no problem with the “peaceful Muslims” that wants to integrate into our culture and follow our laws. The problem lies in that the militant Muslims dominate the peaceful ones and eventually wants to force Islam and Sharia law upon us all. They agitate and campaign to dominate the rest. Why should America be forced into adapting to their culture? They must adapt to our culture. The Boston bombers were motivated by extreme militant Islamic beliefs.

    Sad to say, they are making inroads into every facet of our lives and trying to change our culture, under the guise of the first amendment. Already, they are changing our schools, universities, cities, towns and even our own government has been infiltrated. They want Sharia law and will stop at nothing to see that it happens. School textbooks are being changed to put Islam in a more favorable light. Have you been to a school board meeting recently? Food menus are being changed to accommodate all of them.

    When Jews, Christians, Priests, Infidels are being slaughtered and murdered, and churches are being burned down did you ever wonder why the so called peaceful moderate Muslims, never speak out against these atrocities? Europe is losing the battle and America in less than a generation will be next. Where is the condemnation from the nearly 3 Million Muslims that are here, have you heard a word from them? Their silence speaks volumes on their real intent to destroy us from within and have no intention of ever living within our culture. They want Sharia law in America today folks.

    Islam is a political ideology; it is the antithesis of a free society. One generation of silence on the issue due to political correctness is all it takes. What you do today and tomorrow will affect your children and grandchildren and future generations of America, yet unborn. Stand up and be counted to defeat this real threat from within. Voice your opinion, let your congressmen, senators and school boards know how you feel on the issue.

    Forget about being labeled and simply do what is right for America. We need a permanent solution, time is running out. Let us not become the next Europe. As for me I refuse to be silent on the issue. One person can make a difference, but think if were united, what a difference we can make to turn back the tide and doctrine of the Muslim Brotherhood. Enough is enough folks, if you do just one thing today, Google “TheProjectMuslimBrotherhood” and see for yourself their intent to destroy America from within. Thank you, and please forward this to millions. Let me know your opinions.

      “The time has come to speak up and take a stand folk, for America.”

      Forget about congressmen and senators, most of them are in bed with the enemy as are the W.H. gang. Americans have two solutions:

      1- Mass protests. It happened in Egypt, they brought the Muslim Brotherhood down to their knees, and they did it peaceably.

      http://crossmuslims.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-end-of-muslim-brotherhood.html

      This solution should accompanied by a massive tax strike and media stike.

      2- Armed revolution.

    “Nicholas Teausant, a member of the U.S. Army National Guard” is false. He attempted to join the National Guard but was rejected because of his stupidity.

    He is not and never has been a member of any US military

    Mercer High School, Seattle, is a school attended by Stanley Ann Dunham, the president’s mother, a seminary of left wing ideas. If the military family history he gave is true, it was outweighed by the anti-American messages in his wider environment. Sometimes a “conversion” is part of a coming out or end point in a long walk in the same direction. |Marian

    A Death Eater.

    I wouldn’t mind betting that there were people like this among Mohammed’s “companions”, back in the day.

    And I’ll bet that if you looked closely at the history of Islam throughout its bloody career, all the way through one would find people like this among those who voluntarily (that is, not under duress, but willingly, even eagerly) converted to Islam after becoming aware of its existence. Consider the escaping Nazis who after the fall of the Reich ran off to the dar al Islam and there recited the shahada, all the better to continue indulging the vile proclivities – the Jew-hatred, the arrogance and malignant narcissism, the sadism and bullying, the killing, the torturing, the sheer *hubris* – that they had already been wallowing in, when they were creating and running the Third Reich.

    People of this ilk have *always* been drawn to the Ummah, to Islam, by a sort of spiritual/ psychological undertow.
