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

Six U.S.-based Muslims charged with supporting the Islamic State

Feb 6, 2015 10:49 pm By Robert Spencer

IslamicStateThe Islamic State’s claim to have restored the caliphate continues to appeal to Muslims in the West. But Western authorities have no plan, no strategy to try to counter this appeal, because they cannot even admit that it exists; instead, they must pretend that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam.

“6 people charged in U.S. with supporting ISIS,” CBS News, February 6, 2015 (thanks to Anne Crockett):

WASHINGTON — Six Bosnian immigrants have been charged in the U.S. for allegedly supporting the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), the Department of Justice said Friday.

The suspects, five of whom were arrested in the U.S., are all charged with providing material support to terrorists and conspiring to provide material support and resources to terrorists, the DOJ said in a statement. They were identified as Ramiz Zijad Hodzic, 40, his wife Sedina Unkic Hodzic, 35, and Armin Harcevic, 37, who live in St. Louis County, Missouri; Nihad Rosic, 26, of Utica, New York; Mediha Medy Salkicevic, 34 of Schiller Park, Illinois; and Jasminka Ramic, 42, of Rockford, Illinois.

The suspects immigrated from Bosnia, the Justice Department said. Three of them became naturalized U.S. citizens and the others have legal resident of refugee status.

According to an indictment unsealed Friday, the defendants sent military supplies to a man named Abdullah Ramo Pazara, a Bosnian who traveled from St. Louis to Syria in 2013 to join ISIS. They also used Western Union and PayPal to transfer money to Turkey and Saudi Arabia, where third parties sent it to Syria and Iraq.

Pazara is believed to have been killed last year. He communicated with the defendants through social media, according to the FBI and DOJ, and bragged online about killing and kidnapping several people.

Ramiz Zijad Hodzic and Rosic face the additional charge of conspiring to kill and main persons in a foreign country.

Hodzic allegedly provided tactical advice to Pazara and other foreign fighters, the indictment said, and sent rifle scopes and range finders to Pazara, intending that they be used on sniper rifles. Rosic attempted to travel to Syria, according to the indictment….

    Wait a minute. It doesn’t state anywhere, that these grateful immigrants/refugees are salivating supplicants to mighty mo.

      Do not make friends with muslims and if they are trying to make friends with you they are disobeying the Koran,and until the muslims themselves all band together to stand up and fight isis and other islamist terrorist organizations in great force they will never prove to me, or the world as a whole, that they are all not terrorist. Jordan is doing a little, because of the burning up of their pilot, bit but they are just dropping firecrackers like the U. S so called coalition is doing. A relentless bombardment by rockets ground fire and planes and all the firepower you can mount is the only answer at the present .time, sure some supposedly innocent’s would be killed in the process but war is war….But wait we have not declared war against the Islamic state , even though it isn’t a state. Congress needs to declare war then treat this islamist invasion of our freedoms as war.

      I feel sure that there is a quick resolution of this terrorist problem but it will take guts and somebody’s blood that none of our leaders seem to have. If Hitler had listened
      to his Generals we would probably be speaking German now. Obama needs to listen to his Generals They can come up with a plan to eradicate this evil. Even though we don’t have any Patton’s in today’s army There are still a few Genera’ls and other military leaders who will stand up and be counted. You can’t do it with a small army. Oh they would probably put a stop to the terrorist, temporarily, but they would eventually rebuild their army of terrorist and be back doing the same as now. To absolutely kill the snake you cut his head off even though you stand a chance of being bit doing so. On the home front there has to be some strategy also, and it will be a bitter medicine to take also, but if you want your freedoms without having to look over your shoulder and keep yourself and be afraid all the time, then some laws have to be passed and enforced concerning the terrorist next door.
      .
      Obama’s speech at the prayer breakfast shows where his loyalty is comparing from. the crusades, hundreds of years ago?????. Look back at what the muslims were doing even back then..

      The real answer to the problem, of course is JESUS and they can either acknowledge him now OR LATER as the whole world will in the last day. but in the meantime We in the west, if we want to hold on to our beliefs and freedom had better stand firm get some guts and WAKE UP THE SLEEPING TIGER.

        But don’t listen to every one who makes General. Shinsecki is a prime example of the Peter Principle.

      More of the same from Justin—he hates the foolish West *far* more than he hates violent Islam.

      He has, in fact, stated many times here that he wants to see the free West destroyed by God, using ravening Muslims as his instrument. Very ugly stuff.

    Why should they? this is all a bad dream, close your eyes real tight and click your heels three time and say “I WANT TO GO HOME”
    __HIT!!!! IT DIDN’T WORK FOR ME!!! DID IT WORK FOR YOU?

    This is real and it won’t go away until we do something to get rid of this problem.

    The granting of asylum or citizenship to Muslims should NOT be unconditional.
    There should always be the proviso to deport to country of origin if convicted – and after serving sentence of course.
    ‘Oh look Mommy there’s that cute little Muslim boy from my class, swearing allegiance to the flag. He SO wants to be a Canadian like us’.
    ‘Isn’t it a blessing to live in an open generous democracy like our blessed land?’
    Yeah. Oink! Oink! Flap! Flap!

    Bosnian and Kosovan Muslims, by brilliantly playing the” poor Muslim victim” card, suckered NATO and the USA into bombing Christian Serbia to rubble.
    Attack Christians until they are forced to fight back and then start screaming genocide, atrocities, ISLAMOPHOBIA. The “poor Muslim victims” were probably laughing all the way to the Mosque.
    These Bosnians probably played the” poor Muslim victim” card to get into the USA as well and immediately started planning to bite the hands that were feeding them—–Islam 101.

      @ Justin
      What was done to your people was unconscionable.
      The relentless burning of Serbian villages, the brutal raping of Serbian women, the butchering of Serbian children and blowing up of Christian churches by Bosnian and Kosovan Muslim militias, mysteriously never found its way into the Western media.
      Only when the Serbs started to fight back did the media explode into outrage at ” Serbian atrocities”.

    Six Bosnian immigrants have been charged …

    So these white guys from the post-Ottoman Balkans are the victims of racism, too. Eric Holder should look into this outrage, or at least figure out how to minimize their time in the pokey.

    ***

    Many predicted trouble when the birth control pill burst upon the scene, mostly having to do with promiscuity and the decline of the family. Both of those things came to pass, but we got the bonus prize in the form of influx Moslem immigration into birth controlled countries in Europe, North America and Down Under.

    There is trouble coming, big trouble. Wait, check that. It’s already here. And it’s breeding.

      It is ironic how western governments blessed the introduction of birth control medication in the name of female emancipation and prevention of teenage pregnancies (as if that was somehow unnatural, a sickness to be cured), while at the same time (or a bit later) crying to allow open immigration due to the low and falling numbers of births from their native populations.

      It almost seems like it was all planned from the onset, but I think it was just dumb luck that all this happened in sequence, and also after WWII and coming out of the austerity post war in the fifties and sixties, gave people a sense of entitlement to a new modern way of life, fewer children to weigh you down financially, allowed more expendable income to buy all this stuff imported from countries with a strong manufacturing base and cheap labour. The pharmaceutical manufacturers have no doubt made lots of money in the mean time from manufacturing these birth control drugs in countries with cheap labour (everything is connected).

      In the west we wanted higher wages and more free time to enjoy this post war dream.

      And we’ve ended up with no manufacturing base, higher wages, massive debt, lower birth rates and the need for uncontrolled immigration to feed this machine as there aren’t enough people to do the work anymore, the work needed to maintain a modern society in all its needs. At least not enough people to do low paid work that is needed to maintain this system.

      I see no end really, the whole mess will get a whole lot worse before or if it gets better, this may be the beginning of another dark age that could last hundreds of years, or armageddon and trying to survive a nuclear winter.

      Perhaps we could all just convert to Islam and live happily ever after, that could be a plan! :-/

    Three of them became naturalized U.S. citizens and the others have legal resident of refugee status.

    So they can be kicked back to the islamic hellhole they came from. Good.

    It will be remembered that America (under Clinton/Albright) “liberated” Yugoslavia’s Muslims (mainly in Bosnia and the Kosovo) from Christian/Communist rule.

    Both long before and after this, hundreds of thousands of Yugoslav Muslims had been welcomed to live in Germany and other Western European countries since the 1960s.

    Thankful for all that America and the West did for him and his family, Kosovo-born Arid Uka, raised in Germany, murdered two American GI’s in Frankfurt in cold blood, and seriously injured several others. Uka’s grandfather is said to have been a Kosovo-Albanian imam.

    The Islamic State’s claim to have restored the caliphate continues to appeal to Muslims in the West.
    ……………………………

    And these pious Muslims are either unfazed by the sanguinary horror of that Caliphate, or—worse yet—they are *inspired by it*.
