Do any mosques or Islamic schools in the United States have programs to teach converts to Islam why they should reject the Islamic State and embrace American secularism and pluralism? Why, no, nary a one has such a program. But authorities are unconcerned. They know it’s a Religion of Peace, and that only greasy Islamophobes think otherwise. So go back to sleep.
“Coloradan In Terror Investigation Agrees To Change Plea To Guilty,” CBS4Denver, August 11, 2014:
ARVADA, Colo. (CBS4) – An Arvada woman charged with aiding a foreign terrorist organization has agreed to change her plea to guilty.
Conley is charged with conspiracy to provide support to ISIS, or Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. U.S. Department of Justice spokesman Jeff Dorschner said in a statement released Monday morning that a plea hearing has yet to be scheduled in the case.
Court documents claim Conley joined the Army Explorers to be trained in U.S. military tactics and firearms, and that she told the FBI she wanted to wage Jihad and to go overseas and fight.
According to a criminal complaint, Conley’s parents, also Colorado residents, told the FBI they failed to talk their daughter out of her plans.
The FBI also tried repeatedly to talk her out of going but arrested her earlier this year at Denver International Airport with a ticket to Turkey.
“Colo. woman, accused of helping terrorist organization, reaches plea deal,” by Megan Verlee, Colorado Public Radio, August 11, 2014:
An Arvada woman arrested for supporting the terrorist group ISIS has apparently reached a plea deal with federal authorities. The details aren’t public yet.
Shannon Conley, 19, was arrested at Denver International Airport in early April, as she was preparing to travel to Turkey to marry an ISIS fighter she met online. Conley – a recent convert to Islam – met with the FBI several times before her arrest. Agents say they attempted unsuccessfully to talk her out of her plans.
Conley originally pleaded not guilty to one count of conspiracy to provide support to a terrorist organization. But her attorney has filed a notice with the court indicating they’ve reached a deal with prosecutors. The details of that arrangement won’t be public until a later hearing.
In the criminal complaint filed in the U.S. District Court in April, Conley said she was aware her plans were potentially illegal and could lead to her being arrested.
Conley admitted in that criminal complaint that: “I know things can go terribly wrong.” When asked if she would engage in actual combat on the battlefield, Conley said: “If it was absoluely [sic] necessary, then yes. I wouldn’t like it … but I would do it.”
“Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not.” (Qur’an 2:216)

This is what you will find throughout all of the mosques, in the prisons, and on all college campuses in America and the West. What do you expect? Why do they join our military, perhaps to perpetrate more “workplace violence” like Nidal? They are not vetted, they cannot be trusted, trust them at your own peril.
Wake up and smell the peace!

“Personally, I don’t trust one Muslim in our military.
[I]f they truly are a devout Muslim, and follow
the Quran and the Sunnah, then I feel threatened
because they’re commanded to kill me.”

Leftists everywhere: Entrapment!
“Conley – a recent convert to Islam – met with the FBI several times before her arrest. Agents say they attempted unsuccessfully to talk her out of her plans.”
Revised opinion: It’s Bush’s fault!
Oliver says
I agree- everything wrong is Bush’s fault. ( sarc).
And she would have been what? somewhere around 12-13 when Bush left office; 4-5 when he became President?
Curious–her and her parents party affiliation.
Yaakov Holansky says
It should be very interesting to see what her “new” plea agreement is?
Alexius Comnenus says
Most of the Western countries which accepted the Muslim immigrants will face a violent social unrest. They will be torn apart by these so called ‘islamist of peace’, which plan is to islamlize the whole world from within.
It is regretable these nations do not see the internal danger which grows daily.
When all the Muslims will be ask to leave, then you will have a clean spiritual enviroment.
I know there are good Muslims, but whenever the big war will come, they will not side with thye hosting nation.

Kepha says
I can’t waste tears on this woman. My guess is that she was someone with radical proclivities who signed onto Islam as a “cool, revolutionary” movement. The picture suggests that she’s finally understanding what she got herself into.
Wellington says
I agree, Kepha. This young woman is pathetic, a loser in life, but I feel zero sympathy for her. To be an American and convert to Islam is to slap America in the face because what America stands for and what Islam stands for are about as polar opposite as polar opposites can be. There would have never been the great nation which is the USA if Islam had been in charge from colonial times onwards. Indeed, it would have made a mess of North America as it has other vast regions of the earth. Yes, no sympathy whatsoever.
John Spielman says
Strip her of citizenship and deport her to crapistan like the late Beverly Giesbrecht and let her become some filthy jihadist ‘s sex slave until she comes to her senses!
Mirren10 says
What I don’t understand, is why they arrested her, at all. Why not let the nasty little bint go ?
Hopefully she’d have been killed; one less to worry about. What about all the other mohammedans with an American passport, who were actually allowed to leave, to go to commit murder in Syria ? Why weren’t **they** arrested, before they left ? Is there some point of American law, I’m missing here ?
Now, the American taxpayer will have to pay for her sojourn in jail, complete with koran, prayer rug, halal meals, and visits from the imam. And she will have the opportunity to practice a bit of dawah, as well.
Wellington says
I’m very sympathetic to your line of reasoning, Mirren. Let jihadist wannabes leave a Western nation like America or the UK but never let them back in. In fact, strip them of their citizenship once it is properly verified what the fools have done.

There is nothing uglier on the face of the earth than an American trying to look holier-than-thou in Muslim garb. Geez talk about style failures. Their expression is always dark or smirky or smarty-pants. It is just pathetic it really is. Why would anyone want to follow a religion that makes you look hideous instead of beautiful? People filled with hate look demonic.
Joseph Dooley says
Secularism is a moral void and a pathetic answer to Islam. Christianity is the only option for a Muslim.
