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

Fifth man charged in New York in Islamic State recruitment plot

Islamic StateWhy do authorities even bother to investigate, arrest and charge these people? After all, everyone knows that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam — so why bother? No Muslims will be moved to join them anyway, right? Right?

“Fifth man charged in New York in ISIS recruitment plot,” Associated Press, June 11, 2015 (thanks to Kenneth):

NEW YORK — A fifth man pleaded not guilty on Thursday to charges in New York City that he was involved in a plot to recruit U.S. fighters to join the Islamic State group.

Akmal Zakirov, 29, entered the plea in federal court in Brooklyn where he was ordered held without bail. His attorney declined comment.

In April, four other men — all from the former Soviet republics of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan — also pleaded not guilty in the same case to conspiring to provide material support to a terrorist organization.

An indictment accuses the men of trying to raise money to pay travel expenses for Islamic State recruits to travel to Syria to fight for the militant group. One of the defendants, Akhror Saidakhmetov, was carrying the cash when he was intercepted at John F. Kennedy International Airport on Feb. 25 trying to board a flight to Turkey, court papers say.

Electronic surveillance and other evidence revealed that in the days leading up Saidakhmetov’s departure, “multiple individuals transferred approximately $2,400 in total into Zakirov’s personal bank account,” the papers say.

After Zakirov was detained, he “admitted, in sum and in substance, that he knew that Saidakhmetov intended to travel to Syria to fight with ISIL and that he had contacted others in an effort to raise money to fund Saidakhmetov’s travel to join ISIL,” the papers say, referring to another name for the group.

Evidence also “suggests that Saidakhmetov is not the only person the defendant helped to fight violent jihad,” the papers add….

    And yet the importation of such creatures continues unabated, courtesy of the extensive State Department / Department of Justice / liberal church machine created for the purpose.

      1st generation muslims remember what they’ve fled from. 2nd generation are devout muslims. 3rd generation are jihadists. Sometimes even 2nd generation are jihadists.

      And a Black sub-culture of criminality and hostility to authority. Combine the two, Blacks and Islam, and you get hate-filled jihadist looking to chop the heads off of White infidels and rape White infidel women.

    “Fifth man charged in New York in Islamic State recruitment plot”

    The Islamic Muslim Infiltration of America Continues, ESPECIALLY with America’s “Imperial” Potus”, Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. ,our “Islam has always been part of America” Leader, and HIS Administration.

    What a stink is islam!
    Sulfurus stench of underworld
    Smoke and darkness
    Death and destruction
    From no good
    To no good
    Blocking enquiry
    Blocking question
    Blocking adventure
    Death of the soul

    What a stench are our “leaders”!
    Twisting the truth
    Passing decision
    Leaving the battle
    Waving white flag
