How many converts to Christianity have you ever heard about plotting mass murder because they believe it to be commanded by their new faith? Yet we see this kind of thing from converts to Islam on a regular basis. So where is the national discussion about what can be done about converts to Islam misunderstanding what John Kerry and David Cameron and so many other people could tell them is a peaceful religion?
More on this story. “POSSIBLE TERROR PLOT THWARTED,” by Sharon McBrayer, The News Herald, June 22, 2015:
The federal government has charged a Morganton man with helping the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, better known as the terrorist organization ISIL, saying he plotted to shoot people with cyanide-laced bullets and blow people up using a vehicle filled with bombs.
The man also planned minor attacks for practice before a bigger attack and to send a video of the attacks to the terrorist organization.
Justin Nojan Sullivan, 19, of 5470 Rose Carswell Road, Morganton, has been charged with one count of attempting to provide material support to ISIL, one count of transporting and receiving a silencer in interstate commerce with intent to commit a felony and one count of receipt and possession of an unregistered silencer, unidentified by a serial number. He is facing a total maximum sentence of 40 years for the charges and fines totaling $510,000.
A criminal complaint against Sullivan was filed Monday in federal court.
Sullivan was arrested without incident at his home Friday, according to a release from the U.S. Department of Justice.
“Sullivan is charged with attempting to provide material support to ISIL, a designated terrorist organization that poses a serious threat to our country’s security,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Jill Westmoreland Rose of the western district of N.C. “My highest priority is to detect and prosecute violent extremists and protect innocent Americans from terrorist attacks.”
The criminal complaint alleges that the FBI became aware of Sullivan’s plans to obtain a semi-automatic AR-15 rifle at the Hickory Gun Show in Hickory on Saturday, which he planned to use to kill a large number of U.S. citizens on behalf of ISIL. He planned to kill at the end of the month, according to federal documents.
According to an FBI affidavit, Sullivan, who called himself a Muslim convert, has referred to his desire to kill as many as 1,000 people.
It was the man’s father who first called law enforcement about his son’s behavior.
The affidavit says Sullivan’s father called 911 in late April to say his son was destroying religious items and figurines, and had done so previously and he didn’t know if it was influence from ISIS.
“I mean, we are scared to leave the house,” Sullivan’s father told police at the time.
But the father had reason to be afraid in his own home, according to the FBI affidavit.
Sullivan, who described himself as a mujahid, lived with his parents, the affidavit says. According to the FBI, a mujahid is someone engaged in Jihad, particularly as a guerilla warrior. During conversations with the agent, Sullivan used certain Arabic terms to refer to areas of the world, certain organizations and acts.
During conversations with an undercover agent, Sullivan had asked the agent to kill his parents and that he would send money and his parents’ location to the agent, an affidavit says.
An undercover agent made contact with Sullivan, who invited the agent to join the Islamic State of North America, on June 6. In several phone conversations, Sullivan asked the agent to supply a gun “suppressor.” He also asked the agent to prove he was serious by killing people. He also talked about using biological weapons, including coating bullets with cyanide.
“1,000…Yes, I’m thinking about using biological weapons…Coat our bullets with cyanide…and then set off a gas bomb to finish off the rest…it’s easy to make,” the affidavit says Sullivan told the agent.
“Our attacks needs to be as big as possible…we can do minor assassinations before the big attack for training,” Sullivan said to the agent, according to documents. He talked about using a moving van filled with explosives and detonating it.
On June 12, Sullivan told the agent he needed the suppressor by the end of the week, which was Friday, the day he was arrested. The two talked about how the agent should mail the suppressor to Sullivan, with the agent asking for Sullivan’s address.
On Wednesday, FBI agents observed Sullivan going to a local library and reading the book, “The History of al Qaeda.”
“The FBI built a functional silencer at Sullivan’s request,” the affidavit says. “That silencer does not bear the required serial number, and is not registered to Sullivan or any person in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record.” The silencer was built from a flashlight, it says.
The FBI sent the silencer to the address Sullivan gave the agent and his mother picked up the package at the mailbox Friday afternoon. Sullivan was at home at the time. Agents received consent from Sullivan’s mother and had a federal search warrant to search the home that day.
Agents found the “silencer” hidden under plastic in a crawlspace that was accessible from the basement. They also found around $689 in Sullivan’s bedroom.
Sullivan was interviewed and talked about his discussions to help ISIL but said he didn’t mean it and didn’t plan to carry out what he had discussed, the affidavit says.
“Sullivan said he initiated the conversation with the (agent) about the planned terrorist attacks,” the affidavit says. “Sullivan said he talked with the (agent) about doing attacks with a firearm at a bar or concert, places that were not very far away, and admitted that he had looked in the online yellow pages for places to attack.”
The affidavit goes on to say Sullivan planned on conducting the attacks between Sunday and Tuesday, because he parents would be out of town. He told the FBI that his father demanded to see what was in the package he received on Friday and he told his parents it was a filter to catch cleaning solvent….
deja vu says
Obviously just a deranged lone wolf who has aligned himself with the satanic cult of deranged lone wolves. Nothing to worry about.
Thomas Hennigan says
Why is he deranged? It seems that the present American culture as well as churches are no giving any real values and sold reasons for living a good life so they become prey to Islam via the mosques,
TheDane says
They may also become ‘prey’ to islam, as you put it (I disagree with the term ‘prey’), simply because they are more prone to evil than other people. I believe that the evilness and the ‘supremacy’ promised by this nasty and deceitful ‘religion’ attracts millions of individuals that are psychopaths and evil by nature.
skai says
The Dane ” …promised by this nasty and deceitful religion attracts millions of individuals that are psychopaths and evil by nature .” You are right, that was the case even at the times of their so called profit Mo . Now see http://www.thereligionofpeace.com
Huck Folder says
I’m sure somewhere, someone is talking to all these ‘recently converted’ JIHADISTS to discover what they have in common, what makes them ‘tick’ (then boom), who persuaded them and how…
I know that was done with failed suicide bombers. That’s how they know that it is NOT poverty which drives them, which so many talking heads, to this day, try to delude us.
There should be some interesting statistics available by now, about the PROFILES of the wannabe jihadists: their families, friends, mosques, imams, web pages…
One thing I don’t understand is how INCREDIBLY DUMB they are, and why they aren’t mortified at their own ignorance. That may not be what you think.
Imagine – they’ve JUST learned to pronounce the shahada clearly, without their teachers cringing at the tortured arabic, and they’ve mastered the knee-jerk response to “takbir”. Maybe they know a few of the more common hate verses.
Then these, basically illiterate, (arabicly speaking), adolescent twerps talk about WE this and WE that… Some of them probably don’t know their butt from their muzzle, have never fired ANY weapon, and never hurt, let alone killed anyone.
The infinite depths of ignorance are truly staggering!
Shane says
Relax, this has nothing to do with Islam as Obama and almost every other politician in the West has stated. Allen West for President!
Roy C says
Shane – On point for sure. This is now the standard defense by the west to defend Islam from any real criticism of violence committed by Muslims. It’s the old ipso facto argument that since it’s a religion of peace then it logically follows that any violence committed in its’ name must be illegitimate therefor the perpetrator isn’t a “real” Muslim. All this requires is that you be – or in the case of Obama – pretend to be, totally ignorant of the entirety of the prophet’s Median writings which most of us on this web-site who understand abrogation know is the only part of the Qur’an that really matters. The left totally buys into this idiocy with few exceptions (Bill Maher) but the right isn’t much better on this point. I was amazed how Pam was pretty much trashed on Fox after the Texas attack except for Megyn Kelly who was admirably steadfast in coming to her defense. Violent Muslims are not ‘extremists’ – they are devout in that they take these savage commands for violence and murder against infidels and Jews literally. Given that the holy book was dictated to the prophet from Allah himself through Gabriel – or so Mohammed claimed – then it follows that it is all true or none of it is. True faith demands the former does it not? These killers don’t misread the Qur’an, they are faithfully carrying out its’ commands.

Brian says
I have no doubt but that there will be chemical weapons used by Islamofascists at some point.
jewdog says
Maybe it’s time for an “infidel lives matter” protest.
Don McKellar says
Well, that’s only 2 stories today so far about home grown mad dog killer jihadis. But the day isn’t over yet, so maybe we’ll get up to the average 3-4 per day that the hamstringing of law enforcement policies of Obama’s regime has enabled the United States to build up to.
Gotta give this little puke credit though — most of these Islamic supremacists aren’t even considering biological weapons to carry out the will of Allah as clearly laid out in the Koran! Very ambitious.
abad says
Shame his mother didn’t use a biological weapon on him if you know what I mean.
TheDane says
HAHAHA!! Good one!
Angemon says
Mighty words for someone who needed to pay someone else to murder two people…
19, and described as “living with his parents”. Not “a college student” or “a worker in such and such”, but “living with his parents”. And he wanted to use chemical weapons and kill hundreds of people? My God, what a loser! It sounds like something from a comedy show – “time to go kill the filthy kuffar, allahu akbar!!! Now all I need are weapons- better get started on that. And where shall I strike? I’ll check for targets online. Oh, and it can only be between Sunday and Tuesday – that’s when my parents aren’t around, and if they find about this I’ll be, like, grounded until I’m 50”.
See? It pays to know about islam, even if one doesn’t know it’s about islam – his father was savvy enough to link destruction of religious items with the islamic state.
I suspect this would be as close to a biological weapon as he could possibly ever produce:

Islam is a satanic clut. And so many people have been taken by it
IrishMutt says
His middle name, Nojan, is Persian but might have been carefully chosen for its similarity to the Irish name, Nolan, so as not to obviously reveal a mixed ethnicity. Is Sullivan’s mother a Persian woman? Is he an unrooted, disaffected, individual — ethnically, culturally, and religiously? He certainly doesn’t have “Irish Eyes.” His unusual appearance raised my suspicions about his background, and if it caused him problems growing up that might explain how he wound up on the wrong end of an FBI sting.
Arsene Lapin says
Churchill said that Islam in a man is as dangerous as rabies in a dog: the wisdom of this is confirmed by the effect it has on new converts.
mortimer says
O you who believe! Take not for awliyaa’ [supporters, friends, allies and helpers] your fathers and your brothers if they prefer disbelief to Belief. And whoever of you does so, then he is one of the zaalimoon [wrong-doers, oppressors etc.]. (EMQ at-Tawbah, 9:23)
The proof of the necessity of killing anyone who curses the Prophet or finds fault with him
It is related that a man forged lies against the Prophet and he sent ‘Ali and az-Zubayr to kill him. Ibn Qani’ related that a man came to the Prophet and said, “Messenger of Allah, I heard my father say something ugly about you, so I killed him,” and that did not distress the Prophet.
A man was brought in front of Umar ibn Khataab (ra) who had insulted Muhammad (saw) and Umar (ra) killed him and said anyone who insults Allah (swt) or Muhammad (saw) or any Prophet he should be killed.
Joe Shmo says
I’m always curious, when I read these stories, as to how the FBI undercover agents approach these people. They must be posing as jihadists or clerics themselves and can use believable channels on the internet. Obviously the agents understand more about islam and jihad than is currently in their training manuals? We can but hope.
duh_swami says
‘Monsters of the id’…The monster of Mahound’s id has been loose on the planet for about 1400 years. Islam creates and maintains monsters, what it does not create, monsters are attracted to it. The ‘creation and maintenance of monstrosities’, has an obscure name not found in dictionaries…Theronistics.
When it comes to the Islamic creation and maintenance of monsters, you don’t need to look any further than this Sullivan character, and he’s not the only one, there is a whole herd of them. We are going to need a whole lot of monster repellent…#Aim and spray…
mortimer says
Agree. There is no evidence that Sullivan is insane. Most leading Muslims want to make or acquire weapons of mass destruction. Why? To terrorize the enemies of Islam.
Koran 8.60 says ‘TURHIBUNNA’ (terrorize them). The divine command to terrorize is eternal.
TheDane says
Imagine the amounts of Money these moslems cost our societies when it comes to surveillance, policemen hours, intelligence, stake-outs, law-suits, trials, etc.? It is enormous amounts of taxpayer-dollars, and we have seen Again and Again that our intelligence resources cannot keep up any longer.
Here in Europe it is time to seal off the borders (except for Christians, the real refugees) and start returning hundreds of thousands of hostile moslems already here; those who threaten us and try to eradicate our way of life – or simply: our lives!
Mike Holt, CEO RestoreAustralia says
There is only ONE THING to do about islam….BAN ISLAM AND DEPORT ALL MOSLEMS.
