“Federal authorities allege that Elfgeeh, who ran a pizza shop and supermarket on North Clinton Avenue, was trying to recruit individuals to fight for the Islamic State, the terrorist organization also known as ISIS.”
Sign up for the jihad, get a free large pie with two toppings — pepperoni not available.
An update on this story. “Feds: Rochester terrorism case includes classified info,” by Gary Craig, Democrat and Chronicle, July 18, 2015:
A criminal case against a Rochester man accused of plotting to murder returning troops will include “classified information” that cannot be disclosed for national security purposes, court papers show.
Attorneys in the case of Mufid Elfgeeh, arrested last year, agreed this month to an order that ensures some information cannot be made public. Under the order, there may be some information that Elfgeeh’s lawyers cannot even share with him.
The order “ensures that only those with an appropriate national security clearance and a need to know may have access to the classified information that may be implicated in this case,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Brett Harvey wrote in a July 9 request for the order classifying some information in the criminal case.
The order was approved on July 9, and three documents have been filed under seal since then, records show.
Harvey said Friday that there is classified information that needed to be shared with defense lawyers, thus necessitating the order.
Federal authorities allege that Elfgeeh, who ran a pizza shop and supermarket on North Clinton Avenue, was trying to recruit individuals to fight for the Islamic State, the terrorist organization also known as ISIS.
Elfgeeh was apparently the first U.S. citizen accused of recruiting for ISIS. He was born in Yemen and is a naturalized citizen.
Prosecutors also say that he tried to buy guns and planned to kill returning military troops.
The FBI and U.S. Attorney’s Office have declined to say whether they suspect Elfgeeh was part of a recruiting network or was acting alone, motivated by the propaganda of ISIS, which has proved adept at marketing itself through social media….
Michael Copeland says
Elfgeeh has sworn the Oath of Allegiance.
Perhaps, he is like Faisal Shahzad, Times Square jihad would-be mass murderer,
“I sweared, but I did not mean it.”
The government’s wilful denial makes everyone play Islamic Russian Roiulette.
mortimer says
“I sweared, but I did not mean it.” But that’s normative jihad. Our political leaders don’t even know the jihad doctrine or the taqiyya doctrine…taqiyya is verbal jihad.
The government needs to do a scientific survey to determine how many Muslim are INSINCERE Americans and then let other Americans decide whether they want more of these DUPLICITOUS traitors brought into their country to live next door.
When the jihadists come with assault rifles to the shopping center, which side will traitors like Elfgeeh be on?

How about we give muslims a koran and an American flag, and tell them that they have to burn one of them. If they burn the flag, ship them back to the middle east. If they burn the koran, let them stay, but keep a close eye on them.
Scoffer1 says
Well said! However, I would give them a slightly different option: Give them a flag, and a Koran. They must burn one. Whatever their choice, when they are done, burn them…

Don’t give the Slimy Beasts Taqiyya Matches !! đ

Papa Jihad’s Pizza Parlor and terrorist plotting center. What a perfect cover. What gave it away? Beards and Hijabs?
When is the government going to realize that it has hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Muslim “Americans” who lied about their allegiance to America?
Those who really want be Americans and support the country are welcome. If they don’t separate from the seditious they will be, unfortunately, painted with the same brush. Only they can do the granular separation which is beyond the capability of civil authority.

New York: Muslim pizza shop owner charged with recruiting for the Islamic State

Well, he did it all for the Prophet (pizza be upon him).
Never ask an ISIS pizza man for a slice.

New York CITY is critical infrastructure and a critical theatre for cultural warfare.
Just like Paris and London.
We have to build counter-jihad in New York City and get the real story out to the overall public in New York City. I have done some decent work on this. And I have worked on London and Paris outreach. But I can’t cover everything effectively.
Help New York City. Help Pamela Geller.
Things are looking very bad for New York City. Far too much collaborationism. This inspires and encourages the broader collaborationist movement and the jihadis to the max.
Read it and WEEP. Then do something for New York City. This is vitally important.
Same for London or Paris. We must tell the real story to the people of these key cities.

The Empire State Building Submits to Islam
Not one day â not twenty-four hours after the Chattanooga jihad mass murder â the symbol of American individualism, capitalism, and the capital of the world, the Empire State Building, one of the foremost symbols of American freedom, celebrated the Muslim âholidayâ of Eid al-Fitr, the end of Ramadan. Ramadan is the most violent month of the year in the Islamic world, because Ramadan is the month in which Muslims renew their devotion to Allah, and violent jihad is a supreme act of devotion to Allah.
All told, 2,988 people were shot, burned, blown up, beheaded, or hacked to death in the cause of Islam during this âholyâ month, with 3,696 wounded, beating last yearâs savage human toll of 2,429, with 2,028 wounded. This is not political correctness; this is sharia adherence. Wherever your sympathies may lie, the idea that the Empire State Building would turn green for Eid not a day after five U.S. soldiers were murdered in cold blood in the cause of Islam on American soil is surrender. We have indeed been conquered.
Wouldnât it have been appropriate and respectful for the owners of the Empire State Building, in honor of our fallen heroes, if they had to commemorate Eid at all, to drape the Empire State Building in red, white and blue? What âmoderate Muslim,â what Muslim of conscience, would have or could have objected?
Cecilia Ellis says
Kay, Obama has not ordered that the American Flag be flown at half-mast at the White House, much less anywhere else, for the five murdered Marines and sailor. He did do so with the death of Nelson Mandela.
Here, however, is the statement he made on July 16, 2015, the same day a Muslim murdered American military in Chatanooga:
“Statement by the President on the Occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr
Michelle and I would like to extend our warmest wishes to Muslims in the United States and around the world celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr. As Muslims mark the end of the month, they are reminded that Ramadan is a time to reflect spiritually, build communally, and aid those in need. While Eid marks the end of Ramadan, it marks a new beginning for each individual â a reason to celebrate and express gratitude on this holiday.
For millions of Muslims, the morning of Eid is marked with the call to prayer echoing through cities and towns across the globe. Millions of people head to local mosques for special Eid prayers followed by festive gatherings, gift exchanges, and feasts among friends, neighbors and families. The diversity of traditions paint the vibrant images we see from around the world capturing the spirit and excitement of Eid â colorful dresses or white garments decorating the masses of people standing in lines for prayer, lanterns and ornaments lighting up bazaars and neighborhoods, intricate henna designs painted on hands of young girls and women, and an abundance of delectable foods and aromatic cuisines.
As Muslim Americans celebrate Eid across America, the holiday is a reminder to every American of the importance of respecting those of all faiths and beliefs. This past year New York City Public Schools announced adding Eid to their official school calendars alongside Christmas, Hanukkah and other holidays â an acknowledgement of the great diversity and inclusiveness that adds to the richness of our nation. During this yearâs White House Iftar, I had the opportunity to meet inspiring young Muslim Americans who are leading efforts for greater understanding and unity across diverse communities. Following the Iftar, one of the young attendees helped spearhead an effort that raised more than $75,000 for the churches burned in the wake of the shooting at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina. Americans of all faiths and beliefs must stand together to protect our democracy and strengthen our country as a whole.
Michelle and I hope today brings joy to all of your homes, both here in the U.S. and around the world. From my family to yours, Eid Mubarak!”

– Likewise, Obama did not direct that the White House be lit up by red-white-and-blue on July 4th, but he did so order rainbow lighting for the Supreme Court decision on gay marriage.
Westman says
The product of a very good speech writer who left out the part that full-doctrine Islam and Democracy are incompatible. Perhaps his intended audience were those who actually mean their allegiance to America is more valuable than the demands of Islam.
CAIR and the MB must be ecstatic; the most influential and powerful position of the free world carrying their water. Perhaps CAIR could become a new agency of the US government and dispense with the charade.
Cecilia Ellis says
Right on, Westman!

Recruitment for Islamic State?
When we have a President that folds to extremists in the name of tolerance, we’ll have far more to fear from abroad then from within the United States of America.
Speech from Iranian President Hassan Rouhani:
âOur objective was to have the nuclear program and have sanctions lifted.
âAt first they wanted us to have 100 centrifuges; now we will have 6,000.
âThey wanted restrictions of 25 years; now itâs 8.
âFirst they said we could only have IR1 centrifuges, now we can have IR6, 7 and 8, advanced centrifuges.
â[At first they said our] heavy water plant at Arak had to be dismantled; but now it will remain with heavy water under conditions.
â[At first they said the nuclear facility at] Fordo had to be closed; now we will have 1,000 centrifuges thereâŚ.
âIn future days when UNSC comes with new resolution, all 6 of their previous resolutions will be liftedâŚ.
âHonorable Iranian nationals, all sanctions, including on missiles, will be lifted on days of implementation. Not suspended, lifted!
âToday is the end of oppressive sanctions. The chain of sanctions is brokenâŚ.
âToday people in Lebanon and Palestine are happy because Zionists have tried to block this deal but failedâŚ.
âOh great nation of Iran this is the beginning of a new movement, I tell you!â
Don McKellar says
I’ve wondered how these Islamic supremacists who run pizzerias deal with all the peporoni and ham and sausages on their pizzas? They have to handle pork products, buy and sell them — how do they do it? Aren’t they afraid of going to hell?

By being total and absolute hypocrites…. I’ve only known one, and when he wasn’t drunk, he was stoned, or was cheating on his (pregnant) wife…. Yup, a true devoted muslim…… and a total and absolute hypocrite.

The smell of pizza, ( a popular western meal ) prepared during Ramadan , caused him frustration and temptation . resulting of course in his radicalization and sympathies for isis . Now pizza will be banned in the U.S. !

So why isn’t Obama and Kerry getting on the bus? They’ve trained half the terrorists in Iraq and Syria.

They left the other half for Your Local Mosques to train ! đ

I say it is about time that we rebuild the internment camps we used for the Japanese back in WWII. Once the “enemy” was placed there during the war, NO acts of terrorism happened here. We need to have these camps for them before they use them on us…
medaber_emet says
Hi all
the self confidence of the Muslims is on the rise
they rightly deserve their own governing
you should ask your nice president to negotiate with the Muslims on giving them few states of their own
so some of the states will stay christian
its much like what john Kerry offer Israel to do in order to achieve peace with the bloody Palestinians
(by the way there is no P in arabic )they say falastin
soon the muslims in america will sing in chorus
fil dam fil ruch nafdic el wilayat elmutachida
Lioness says
It’s time to revoke the citizenship of these scum bags. Why not send him back to Yemen where he can combine the art of pizza making with recruiting for jihad under one roof.

When is the United States going to start kicking out these murderous bastards
