Joshua Van Haften is a convicted sex offender and apparently another convert to Islam who misunderstands his new, peaceful religion. Yet nary a mosque in the U.S. has any program to keep converts and other Muslims from getting the idea that Islam commands its adherents to wage war against unbelievers. Now, why is that? “Madison man who allegedly wanted to join Islamic State terrorist group arrested at O’Hare,” by Bill Novak, Madison.com, April 9, 2015 (thanks to Robert):
A Madison man was arrested Wednesday night on charges that he went overseas to join the Islamic State terrorist group, also known as ISIS or ISIL, authorities reported.
Joshua Van Haften, 34, was taken into custody by the FBI when he arrived at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago on a flight from Turkey.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office said Van Haften will make an initial appearance in federal court in Madison Thursday morning.
Van Haften will be charged with attempting to provide material support and resources, namely himself, to a foreign terrorist organization, according to a news release from the attorney’s office.
If convicted, he faces a maximum 15 years in federal prison.
The complaint alleges Van Haften intended to travel into Iraq or Syria to join the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
Van Haften allegedly left the U.S. on Aug. 26, 2014, and traveled to Istanbul, Turkey. Turkey shares a border with Syria and is an entry point into Syria for those wanting to join ISIL….

UMMAH Zombies
The ‘ummah’ of Islam is doomed to cannibalize itself.
Muslims must continually find (someone else) to despise
in order for Islam just to survive.
The ummah is not truly about the core of Muslim believers.
That is merely a false image. Islam is more about the OTHERs who are not Muslim.
The ‘ummah’ is built from insatiable Islamic vanity disguised as humility.
But, vanity and false humility can never coexist for long, Inevitably.
Raw vanity rips apart Islam’s false humility like a pack of ravenous wild dogs
to end this dichotomy.
Whenever a Muslim says (we)
it is just another way of saying (I)
Sharia puppet zombies always seek Satan‘s approval.
Mirren10 says
That is one **insane** looking bloke.
islam is, of course, tailor made for such as he. Bleh.

Staggering, dying, supine, dhimmi, lost, punchdrunk, incontinent, pathetic, lowly, crap music creating, race war on the streets and lunatics carrying it on (black lives matter), 19Trillion in debt, open Southern borders, 12 million new “Americans next year”. Lurch, on his bike, is a pop hero (as is a curly headed tw@t from Rolling stone). When will the evil guy that created the film that caused the Benghazi fiasco get out? Or, at this point, why would it matter?
‘Murica.

Muslims need to ‘let loose’ of Islam’s noose whenever they feel the jagged edges of Muhammad’s misery they need to stop their desolation dance of Islamic blasphemy, shake it off.
Shake it off
just Shake it off

NOW, WERE THE AIRPORT POLICE TO USE THIS PHOTO THEY COULD STOP MANY MORE ISIS,THIS IS YOUR TYPICAL ISIS MEMBER,
Jay Airahs says
NPR in North Carolina had just aired a piece very critical on — Evangelicals proselytizing.
They followed this up with a reverential proselytizing feel good piece about the Muslim call to prayer.
NPR = no shame

If he were, at least, a paedophile, he would be much closer to the “Prophet”.

If you run Van Haften’s name on the above site, you’ll find that he’s a real piece of work…

Please let the people who want to fight for ISIS go and make it understood that they can never return. And, speaking of returning, Jeh Johnson of DOJ said recently that about 40 people have returned to the States from fighting ISIS; how stupid and weak can this country be??
Champ says
A convicted sex offender? …well, he’s a good fit for islam and company.
Babs says
He and ISIS deserve each other.
Little wonder he was attracted to Islam.
BigRob says
I’d also like to point out he signed the Recall Scott Walker petition, so he is a committed leftist from one of the most left-wing cities in the US. As someone who watched the process from inside the state, I know the type of people who would sign the petition.
Not sure why left wingers feel some attachment to islam, other than they must still see them as some aggrieved and repressed minority in need of coddling?
In this case, I think the pedophilia may have had something to do with it as well.
