“Crescent Cuts: barber shop to the jihadists! We strike necks!”
“Murder suspect on personal jihad may have been groomed in Seattle barber shop,” by Pamela Browne, FoxNews.com, November 4, 2014:
A man accused of killing four people in two states is believed to have ties to a disrupted terrorist cell, a terrorist training camp on U.S. soil, and federal investigations going back more than a decade, a Fox News investigation has revealed.
Details of Ali Muhammad Brown’s life in crime and connections to radical Islam prior to the killings of a college student in New Jersey and three other men in Washington state since April 2014 is under renewed scrutiny. After his arrest in July, Brown, 29, told detectives from both states that he “was engaged in jihad” and referred to the specific murder of one victim, Brendan Tevlin, as a “just kill.”
Tevlin, 19, was murdered in West Orange, N.J., on June 25 while sitting in his car at a traffic light. He was shot eight times. Besides Brown, two other men have been arrested in Tevlin’s murder — Jeremy Villagran and Eric Williams.
Seattle authorities say ballistics link the same 9-mm. handgun that Brown used to kill Tevlin in New Jersey to three other homicide investigations in Washington state. On June 1, 23-year-old Dwone Anderson-Young and 27-year-old Ahmed Said were killed “execution style” as they sat inside a car in Seattle, Wash.
The same weapon was used to gun down 30-year-old Leroy Henderson on April 27 as he walked the streets of Skyway, Wash., authorities say.
Two former FBI agents from the Joint Terrorism Task Force, or JTTF, revealed for the first time on a Fox News special, “Greta Investigates: The Lone Wolves of Terror,” that they believe Ali Muhammad Brown may have traveled to one of the first terrorist training camps on U.S. soil when he was a teenager.
Former FBI agents David Rubincam and David Gomez were interviewed by Fox News in Seattle. David Gomez told Fox, “I believe Ali Muhammad Brown at some point traveled to Bly, Ore., prior to his arrest for financial institution fraud.”
The JTTF executed 19 search and arrest warrants in November 2004 after a 30-month investigation, which became known as the “Ranier Valley Roundup.” No one, including Brown, was charged with terrorism.
Gomez recalled the case: “The objective is to make money, so they were involved in trying to raise money for themselves, but they were also raising money for a jihadist movement in Seattle. There is a quote in the indictment that says, ‘you can’t go to war broke’. ”
The JTTF investigation centered around “Crescent Cuts,” a small barber shop frequented by Brown. The shop was owned by Ruben Shumpert, a convicted drug dealer familiar to Gomez and other members of law enforcement.
“Ruben Shumpert was a prison convert to Islam,” noted Gomez. “He learned to cut hair in prison. Ruben would not only cut hair, but was attempting to indoctrinate a lot of the youth into radical forms of Islam by showing them videos about the 9/11 hijackers and Al Qaeda.”
Gomez added, “in 2004 with Ali Muhammad Brown, what we were looking at was the raising of funds for overseas material support of terrorism. He [Brown] was convicted of fraudulently producing checks, depositing them into accounts and spending the money basically.”
Brown was sentenced to two years in prison, but only served 84 days. He would lead a life of depraved crime and violence. Washington state court records from 2012 obtained by Fox News show Brown was charged with child rape before pleading guilty to three lesser counts of “communication with a minor for immoral purposes.“
Ruben Shumpert went on to fight alongside terrorists….

A criminal record and jihadist tendencies go together like a horse and carriage!
Ever wonder why that is? Ever wonder why Islam is so popular with CONVICTS in JAIL?
Perhaps because Islam tells thugs to do all the criminal things they LOVE TO DO, but in addition, Allah will reward them with ETERNAL SEX with slaves who can’t say no!

Would it be in poor taste and homophobic for me to mention here that Ambassador Chris Stevens was anally raped by a group of men while he was in the throes of dying in Benghazi?
… but was attempting to indoctrinate a lot of the youth into radical forms of Islam by showing them videos…
A video of what, a documentary of all the loser Moslems who practice one of the many possible moderate forms of Islam? Either Ali Muhammad Brown was motivated by the Holy Ko-Ran’s call for him to act on Allah’s commands, or he wasn’t. The sacred Call for him to throw in with the Cause — threats and intimidation, subjugation or murder, and world takeover, that’s the Cause that impels one of the world’s great religions, one of the three Abrahamic faiths.
Would the reporter who wrote this article please publish a list of Calls to the Non-Cause?
No. Cuz they ain’t any.

“Ambassador Chris Stevens was anally raped by a group of men while he was in the throes of dying in Benghazi?”
Do you have proof or evidence? Have seen this on a number of websites… would like to be sure it is true.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
It was in the coroner’s report. Sean Hannity mentioned it once on his evening TV show, and that utterance was the last time the deed was brought up in print or on air that I saw. So much is left out, and so much that is barely mentioned is carefully elided. But not Stevens got one mention of the full truth before that too was drawn into the fog of silence and ignorance.
Islam is full of things too awful to recognize. I believe it was Ibn Ishaq who said he left out one thing of his bio of the Holy Prophet, and based on what *was* in his book, it had to be pretty terrible.

a/ remember people doing life for stealing bread on 3 strikes…. and this guy gets these sentences?..
b/ why are the jihad camps ; if valid caliphate rooted; why are they not dust in the wind …today
Salah says
@bobm,
“why are the jihad camps”
Because Obama and/or his already-appointed-successors are planning to take over the U.S.A.
Problem is: most U.S citizens are well armed and will eventually fight back.
Who is going to subdue them? his close friends: the Muslim brotherhood, ISIS, etc. hence the importance of jihad camps.

Attention all Muslims: Take a page from Taylor Swift and “Shake It Off”.
Haters gonna hate, hate, hate and fakers gonna fake, fake, fake.
Shake off those medieval delusions and join the human race!

“The JTTF executed 19 search and arrest warrants in November 2004 after a 30-month investigation, which became known as the “Ranier Valley Roundup.”
Three Muslims required a 30 month investigation by police and special agents.
We will import more Muslims, with a proportion of criminals and killers who each require months and years of police investigation. Eventually the resources of police will be overwhelmed, and it will be open house for violent Muslim criminals. In Europe this has happened. The response of the media and the government there is to cover up the story, rather than take any further action.

Never ask an ISIS barber for a cut.

I wonder if anyone had told that Afro-American that the arab-muslims sent more africans into slavery than the Europeans ever did when they moved in on the slave trade would he still have joined the islamic master race cult ??

President Obama,
