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

Georgia Muslim who tried to join Islamic State had Facebook page featuring “death to America jihad rhetoric”

Jul 29, 2015 9:25 am By Robert Spencer

Leon Davis FacebookUPDATE: His Facebook page has actually not yet been taken down; I just didn’t know where to look for it, since it is under his Islamic name, not Leon Davis, and no media outlet has yet published his Islamic name. Jihad Watch reader Kamala kindly showed me where to find it. I will post more about this soon.

His Facebook page has, of course, been taken down: authorities always move swiftly to take down such pages when they feature hardcore Islamic material that might show people that jihad terror, despite universal official denials, actually does have something to do with Islam. But in this screenshot from WRDW’s TV report there is a fragment of it (click to enlarge); at the lower left you can see a photo of Davis in front of the Al-Farooq Mosque in Atlanta. In the photo above it Davis is wearing the same clothes praying inside a mosque — probably Al-Farooq. What is being taught in that mosque? Is that mosque being investigated? Or did the imam tell authorities that they didn’t know Davis, or rebuked him for his “extremism,” or that he only came around infrequently and had questionable views, and authorities let it go at that?

“Childhood friend of man trying to join ISIS speaks out,” by Taylor Bingham, WRDW, July 29, 2015:

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW)– “I was very surprised, very surprised,” one childhood friend said. “There is nothing you can tell me somebody did that I would say I know that’s why they joined ISIS.”

A childhood friend in shock, someone he knew since they were five trying to join ISIS. He didn’t want to share his identity, but he remembers Trey Davis as a normal kid….

Davis wound up pleading guilty in a federal courtroom and admitting he was trying to join ISIS. It didn’t shock everyone who knew him as a kid.

“He was always looking for place to fit in and maybe this is where he found it,” one friend said.

The FBI says it’s been more than a year since Davis started planning to join ISIS, which is around the same time one of his friends started seeing unusual posts on Facebook.

“A lot of anti-American stuff the typical sort of death to America jihad rhetoric that you hear,” his friend said.

He says he’s not sure what lead Davis down this road, but he does have family and friends who care about him.

“It’s scary to know that your neighbor, your coworker, anybody really can be touched by these people and turned like he was,” he said.

    I’m sure the Imam will say he doesn’t know Davis and never saw him at the mosque.

    ‘What led him down that road?
    Don’t these dullards know Facebook is monitored?
    I’m sure he was just a normal kid, until he started listening to Rush and Mark Levin, both known to send subliminal messages to jihadists. Like Allah and Satan, they deceive many…
    I know this because I read it in JW comments. A library of strange and exotic notions. Sometimes profound, sometimes not so profound…

      If you take Allah out of it, there is no connection between Islam and terrorism…But no one has ever tried to take Allah out of Islam because no one has yet invented an Allah wrench.
      Just thinking about it is apostasy and blasphemy.
      But I doubt many Mahoundians think about it…

    His ‘caring’ family and friends?? But did SUAREZ ‘care’ for his family and ‘friends’?

    What did SUAREZ think about DIRTY KAFIRS? Do dirty kafirs deserve to live?

    From masud.co.uk.org

    “…in Islam there are no such concepts as “love your enemy” (as indicated in the above verse quoted from chapter al-Faatir, 35:6), or “blood is thicker than water”; therefore, our love to one-another is based upon Eemaan – not on blood, race or nationalistic relations. Thus, it is not allowed to even ally with one’s brother or father if he is upon falsehood or prefers kufr (disbelief) over eemaan.

    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)”

    -Sira:Ishaq:455 (At the Battle of Badr)
    As the bodies were thrown into the well, one of the Muslims saw the body of his FATHER thrown in. He said, “My father was a virtuous, wise, kind, and cultured man. I had hoped he would become a Muslim, but he died a kafir. His abode is Hell-fire forever.

    -“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. – At-Tabarani and ad-Daraqutni

    Let’s go back in time. Around 610 AD, muhammad was allegedly a well respected member of his community, a conciliator and problem-solver. Then he became a bickering, insulting, provocative, violent madman. What happened? Islam did.

    I will admit I have a great hate on. Mostly for Very Stupd American jihadusts. I loathe them with every fibre of my being. How dare they? They have been given EVERYTHING by being American by an accident of their birth. That every other citizen of every other country wants. Let’s pick every wanna be American and trade him for an Americ#n by birth. I know would happen. And so do you, lazy slothful American . Do you white Americans not see this as your Clarion Call. Act or give up. You must give up your phone. MUST.. of go la la n your stupid phone while Your own country istzjn over and ruined. Your enemies have waned you.
