“Two weeks ago, after news broke about Pugh’s arrest, she said she didn’t understand why people wanted to join ISIS overseas when there are ways of ‘pleasing Allah’ here in the United States, court documents say.” Yes. Watch for more of this.
“Two ISIS-Inspired Women Arrested in NYC for Allegedly Trying to Build Bomb,” by Mike Levine and Aaron Katersky, ABC News, April 2, 2015 (thanks to Anne Crockett):
Federal authorities have arrested two women who were allegedly planning to detonate a bomb somewhere in the United States after being radicalized at least in part by ISIS, sources familiar with the arrests told ABC News.
The public was never in danger, as it was all part of a lengthy undercover FBI operation. And court documents suggest any plotting was more aspirational than operational.
However, court documents cite direct connections to known or suspected terrorists inside the United States and overseas.
In August 2014, 28-year-old Noelle Velentzas became Facebook friends with Tairod Pugh, a U.S. Air Force veteran indicted two weeks ago for his own ISIS-inspired plans. Meanwhile, 31-year-old Asia Siddiqui “has had repeated contact with members of” Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the Yemen-based terrorist group behind several bomb plots targeting U.S.-bound planes.
Both were arrested earlier today without incident in Queens, N.Y., where they had been roommates until recently.
In meetings with an undercover FBI agent in recent months, Velentzas and Siddiqui allegedly discussed efforts to learn the “science” involved in building explosives, often analyzing previous bomb plots inside the U.S. — failed ones and successful ones, like the Oklahoma City bombing. In addition, they downloaded “The Anarchist Cookbook” and watched videos about building bombs, court documents allege.
Also in meetings with the undercover FBI agent, Velentzas expressed anger over U.S. airstrikes targeting ISIS in Syria and Iraq, and she suggested she and Siddiqui be referred to as “citizens of the Islamic State,” according to charging documents. She also allegedly watched ISIS propaganda videos with the undercover agent.
Two weeks ago, after news broke about Pugh’s arrest, she said she didn’t understand why people wanted to join ISIS overseas when there are ways of “pleasing Allah” here in the United States, court documents say.
She allegedly said she was looking “to make history,” and in late December she and the FBI agent discussed possible targets for a bombing.
“We are living … the last war, the big war before the end of day starts, in English they call it Armageddon, we are actually living in that time, it’s not a joke, it starts in Syria,” she allegedly told the undercover agent….

Send them back to their islamic hellhole, which they shouldn’t have left anyway.
RonaldB says
More evidence of the fact that Muslim women are victims of Islam, but NOT allies of anti-Jihadists. A Muslim woman should never be given the status of refugee simply because she is oppressed by normal sharia practices in an Islamic country.
In fact, no Muslim should ever be given refugee or immigrant status in any case whatsoever, except for the very rare case where the Muslim directly assists US forces or otherwise delivers exemplary service to the US.
I realize I’m preaching to the choir.

Islamic Stockholm syndrome…Patti Hearst wearing a niqab with a bomb under it.
gravenimage says
This is true, Mortimer—but they have even less excuse than Patty Hearst. Noelle Velentzas is almost certainly a “revert”, and this wasn’t a case where she had been kidnapped, tortured, and indoctrinated.
She *sought out this foul creed*.

WTF? It is being reported that these two women possessed propane tanks, researched successful and unsuccessful bombing attempts, had a particular interest in pressure cookers, and that court documents “cite direct connections to known or suspected terrorists inside the United States and overseas.”
That sure sounds more “operational” than “aspirational.”
gravenimage says
True, Ashley. I think saying “the public was never in danger” has just become pro forma in these cases—the equivalent of “move along folks, nothing to see here”.
Oliver says
They wanted to be known as citizens of ISIS, not the US. We should deport them, and all who agree, as soon as possible. Along with their extended families.
The US (I know, Nobrainer and Eric (Toilet Paper) Holder would say that this would not be right.
abad says
They could not move to Iraq to please Allah?
Better that they do it over there than here in the USA.
Jaladhi says
Interesting to see how our TV news avoids to mention that these women are Muslims. ABC new announced in the evening news “two American women” arrested for planning terrorist attacks! Similarly, no mention of the Muslim jihadi terrorists in Kenya for killing147 young “Christian” kids after identifying them as christians!!
What a dishonest media we have got here – they never want to identify the terrorists as Muslims!!
Joseph says
Surprised the media didn’t say they were “HEFTY BAG” salespeople displaying the product.
Porkistan says
I think it was over at Gates of Vienna where they talked about “JIM”. No matter how obvious it is, the media is NEVER to mention “JIM”. It’s it’s as if “JIM” doesn’t exist and people just do random violent acts for no reason whatsoever (again, and again, and again). “JIM” has nothing to do with why certain countries are the most repressive, unfree, and dangerous places on earth. And it’ certainly isn’t “JIM”s fault that Israel can’t even sneeze without being criticized by the 57 “JIMmy” countries in the UN while MILLIONS of people die without a peep. It’s certainly not “JIM”s fault that you can’t show a picture of the a certain person on TV without getting your television station bombed or shot up. “JIM” doesn’t exist. It NEVER existed and if you disagree then you are a filthy racist bigot.
“JIM” is an acronym for three words. Can you guess which three they are?
Jay Boo says
Work it baby
Some say they all look the same when covered in an Islamic tent.
But notice how the one front and center is trying to hog the spotlight even though the one behind her is clearly the much more thoughtful one and obviously has a great deal more stage presence and charisma than the one in the spotlight.
In addition, see how she subtly works the camera to engage the viewer to look more closely, not only her image but to entice all onlookers to peer deep into her eyes in an effort to engage her audience to explore the many hidden mysteries that lie locked within her secretive soul.
She clearly has a more congenial demeanor and is a great deal more photogenic than the other one.
She steals the show and stands out as mysterious and intriguing even though she is in the background.
If only more women would where a black tent in the noon day sun.
A real bombshell, that one is.
Joseph says
@ Jay Boo
You are clearly twisted in a fun way. & I mean that in a good way.
Jay Boo says
Thanks Joseph
BTW: Jay Boo is about to be new and improved.
I am planning to switch my moniker to Jay Airahs
Although I like Jay Boo just fine, it seems that when I Google ‘Jay Boo’ someone is already using that moniker. Google brings up someone who is very different than me in personality and perspective. Jay Airahs seems to be free so far.
Joseph says
You should go one better. Enter Airahs in the URBAN dictionary and write your own definition. YOU WILL BE FAMOUS!!!!!!!

“Pleasing Allah” … means nothing else but building a bomb to murder American taxpayers and commit economic sabotage to the world’s leading democracy and protector of free speech.
This proves that all Muslims are basically at war with freedom of expression.

New York City: Two Muslim women inspired by Islamic State arrested for trying to build bomb
“Two weeks ago, after news broke about Pugh’s arrest, she said she didn’t understand why people wanted to join ISIS overseas when there are ways of ‘pleasing Allah’ here in the United States
………………………..
Notice, this pious Muslimah didn’t wonder why any Muslim wanted to wage violent Jihad—instead, she just wondered why they would have to go half way ’round the world in order to do so.
After all, the demon god”Allah” will be just as pleased if good Muslims slaughter Infidels here at home…
Infidel From Down Under says
Only a matter of time I am afraid until one these devastating jihadist plots on Western soil becomes a reality

A little problem with geography. Meggido, Israel and Dabiq, Syria are 300 miles apart. With that range, maybe it will start in Mekka…

What is the prospect of victory?
This was the first question.
The fight of ISIL(Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant) has been astonishing clever from the first.
It was clear that, If ISIL extend its sphere of influence more, then someday ISIL will clash with the United States.
ISIL was not the type that goes headlong at what it has decided to do.
It is utterly impossible that the organization like ISIL fight against the United States with no plan.
ISIL must has the prospect of victory.
What is the prospect of victory?
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ Vietnamization?
