New York City: Another Muslim arrested in Islamic State plot investigation

Jun 17, 2015 3:45 pm By Robert Spencer

george-washington-bridge“The arrest by the Federal Bureau of Investigation came a day after U.S. officials accused a New York college student of plotting to set off a pressure-cooker bomb in support of the Islamic State militant group.” This arrest seems to be connected with that plot. And so the arrests are coming daily now, and the Islamic State continues to try to sow blood and death in the U.S. Good thing it’s a Religion of Peace, or things would be even worse.

More on this story. “FBI arrests man in New York as part of terrorism probe,” by Nate Raymond and Joseph Ax, Reuters, June 17, 2015:

FBI agents in New York on Wednesday arrested a man in the borough of Staten Island as part of a larger terrorism-related investigation, an FBI spokeswoman said.

The arrest by the Federal Bureau of Investigation came a day after U.S. officials accused a New York college student of plotting to set off a pressure-cooker bomb in support of the Islamic State militant group.

The spokeswoman, Kelly Langmesser, declined to identify the man arrested on Wednesday or comment on media reports that he became violent. She said no serious injuries were reported in the incident.

Munther Omar Saleh, 20, was arrested last Saturday after he and another man got out of their car and ran toward a surveillance vehicle that had been tracking their movements, according to a complaint filed in federal court in Brooklyn.

The other man, who was also arrested, was not named in the court documents.

The New York Daily News reported the arrest on Wednesday was connected to the case. The complaint filed against Saleh had mentioned a third unnamed co-conspirator.

According to the complaint, Saleh, a resident of the borough of Queens, spent hours online researching how to build a pressure-cooker bomb and reading accounts of the deadly 2013 Boston Marathon bombing….

A police officer observed Saleh on successive days in March on foot at the George Washington Bridge, which connects New Jersey and New York, seemingly looking around, the complaint said….

Saleh is studying at a college that specializes in aeronautics, according to the court papers….

Aeronautics? But…but…poverty causes terrorism!

    How many police and intelligence hours are spent on the Moslem Patrol Detail? What is the estimated amount of money spent on the Moslem Patrol Detail? What effect is the Moslem Patrol Detail having on other criminal law enforcement activities in the form of reduced time spent on them to staff the Moslem Patrol Detail?

    I call on the federal gubmint and all fifty state gubmints to make such an accounting public. If they do, and they’re honest, the de facto Moslem importation program would be stopped, and that would be a good thing.

    ***

    Question: when’s the last time you saw on TV or in the paper a gubmint report breaking down legal immigration by source country, ethnicity, race or religion. My bet your answer is the same as mine: never.

    Gee, I wonder what he possibly might do with that information?…

    But let none of us kuffaars forget that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance. To forget or overlook this would be the gravest of transgressions, now wouldn’t it? After all, per Obama, the future should not belong to those who defame the Prophet (Profiteer?) Mohammed.

    On a more realisitic note, the future had better belong to those who tear down, who mock, who denigrate that seventh-century con-artist and psychopath (narcissist and pedophile too) who is responsible for inventing the worst religion of all time. After all, structures like the George Washington Bridge (which I have travelled over numerous times) depend upon it. So do mucho numbers of human lives.

    My God, what a monstrosity Islam is. One knows this or should know it. Sadly, to date almost no Western elite in the media, academia or the politiical world does (or, if they do, they are keeping silent about it in full coward mode). For instance, watching that profoundly corrupt and incompetent Hillary Clinton (my God, she is so digusting), or the way way too numerous Republican candidiates for President continue to refuse to even mention how nefarious Islam is, can only lead to the conclusion that we live in absurd times. I mean Islam is shouting at the West that it doesn’t in the least respect Western values, indeed wants to destroy Western Civilization, and yet the movers and shakers in the West (like Donald Trump who talks about restoring America while dissing Pamela Geller——-what a doofus and asshole he is) aren’t moving and shaking even remotely in the right direction where Islam is concerned.

    The time is out of joint. Arguably never more so because at least with Nazism and Marxism, two other totalitarian ideologies that share so much with the totalitarian ideology which is Islam, the bulk of the Western elites correctly identified these two as nefarious and profoundly injurious to Western values. To date, no such characterization by Western elites about Islam has occurred.

    The West is drifting. It is in huge trouble. And the current crop of Western elites are, at best, mediocrities still mischaracterizing Islam, still making excuses for it.

    Worse times ahead. Guaranteed.

    Republican candidiates for President continue to refuse to even mention how nefarious Islam is…

    There has evolved an unspoken de facto ideology of RINOism, whereby there has not been a real opposition for a few decades now. Bush, Dole, Bush, Boehner, McConnell, McCain, Romney, Graham, Kasich, Rubio and dozens more are loath to take on socialism, reverse racism, reverse sexism, illegal immigration and all the other political perversions that they somehow view as safe havens. Much of that is driven by the opinion programmer news entertainers who dominate and guide the public discourse. With the help of the union brothers and sisters in the NEA and AFT, of course.

    So how can we expect the RINOs to step up to the most difficult subject of all: Moslems? Even the few conservatives out there — Cruz, Lee and Paul — maintain silence on the Islam thing.

    Nobody wants to lose elections, except maybe McCain and Romney. But for sure nobody wants to die.

    • Wellington says

      Agreed, APF. “RINOISM” is a terrible “political” disease. And so many suffer from it. It even, as you alluded to, has very possibly spread its “destructiveness” to someone like Cruz (I will here assert that I see no value in Paul——like his father he really does not understand the Islamic world whatsoever). Again I assert that the modern liberal world has lost its collective mind and the modern conservative world has lost its collective guts.

      • Alarmed Pig Farmer says

        Jun 17, 2015 at 7:31 pm

        If Cruz understands the Islamic world, I ain’t seen or heard of it. He’s silent on Moslems.

        From what I can tell, only two elected representatives have ever taken the subject up with any honest: Rep. Tom Tancredo from Colorado, but he retired, and Rep. Sue Myrick from North Carolina, but she retired.

        For his part, Rep. Peter King will huff and puff a bit on camera after this or that, but he’s always sure to work in the “fact” that the billion Unicorns on this earth are a-ok people, just like us, then the obligatory bilge about the tiny minority of extremists who hijacked a great religion blah blah blaah.

        On my TV, it looks like a third of reports are on the daily misdeed of Moslems, That 33%. Also on my TV, it looks like no elected representatives state the facts of Moslems, and the causality of their belief system, Islam. That’s 0%.

        Even Cruz. We’re in deep, deep trouble. As I always say, it will be interesting, and historical, to see what they say after the next big hit on this country. I’m not optimistic.

        The sounds of silence. Hey, Simon & Garfinkle are New Yorkers, my isn’t that ironic. And both are Jews, my isn’t that even more ironic.

        • RonaldB says

          Jun 17, 2015 at 9:29 pm

          Try these references on Cruz:

          http://www.politico.com/story/2015/02/ted-cruz-obama-radical-islamic-terrorists-115312.html

          http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/241170-cruz-obama-administration-unable-to-combat-islamic-terrorism

          Cruz is not a Robert Spencer, Pam Geller or even a Louie Gohmert, who have extensive knowledge of Islam. But, what you want is someone who is willing to speak his mind, stay independent of the Republican funding establishment headed by Grover Norquist, and maintain a common-sense loyalty to the United States.

          The Obama administration has consciously disarmed our security agencies from understanding Islam. I doubt if Cruz would do that.

          The Bush administration allowed members of the Saudi royal family, connected with the hijackers up to their eyeteeth, fly out of the United States on a chartered plane after only a cursory interview with the FBI. The Bush family has extensive ties with Arab oil.

          You’re not going to get a perfect candidate. What you want is a patriotic, open-minded, and logical candidate. Cruz may or may not be the one, but in my opinion, it is a mistake to look for a candidate with extensive knowledge of Islam. What you want is a candidate who will be open to true, objective experts once they are in the position of having to make decisions.

        … he modern liberal world has lost its collective mind and the modern conservative world has lost its collective guts.

        Looking at your post a 2nd time, that’s a great line. My only quibble is whether the RINOs have lost their guts or are they too co-opted by the ideals of big central government and globalism. Both are illegal if ya look at the Constitution, but that doc is more of a reference now than anything, so it no longer matters.
