He said he would “‘cut off the head of his non-Muslim son if necessary’ to show that he was a true believer.” Meanwhile, Muslim leaders in the U.S. maintain that such behavior has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam. So how did Amir Said Abdul Rahman Al-Ghazi, who converted to Islam in prison, get the idea that cutting off his Infidel son’s head would show he was a true believer? Muslim leaders in the U.S. never explain how this misunderstanding of Islam became so widespread.
“Sheffield Lake terrorism suspect indicted on guns, marijuana charges,” by Eric Heisig, Northeast Ohio Media Group, July 16, 2015:
CLEVELAND, Ohio — A federal grand jury has indicted a Sheffield Lake man who was arrested in June after the FBI said he bought an AK-47 assault rifle in pursuit of supporting the Islamic State in the U.S.
Amir Said Abdul Rahman Al-Ghazi, 38, is charged with attempting to provide material support to ISIS, according to an indictment filed Thursday. He is also charged with two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm, based on the assault rifle the FBI said he paid an undercover agent $400 to acquire and a handgun he had on him when he was arrested.
Al-Ghazi, who changed his name from Robert McCollum earlier this year, was being monitored by the FBI since 2012, when he posted violent extremist content on his Facebook page, authorities said. He pledged his support to ISIS on social media websites in 2014 and talked to people he believed were part of the terrorist organization, court records state.
The suspect also spoke of carrying out terrorist attacks in the U.S. and said he would “cut off the head of his non-Muslim son if necessary” to show that he was a true believer, a criminal complaint filed in June says. But there is no evidence that Al-Ghazi acted on his beliefs.
He was arrested in North Olmsted on June 19. The criminal complaint said he had tried for months to buy an AK-47 to use in propaganda videos….
The criminal complaint says Al-Ghazi told told an informant that he already had a ski-mask and a “green screen,” and that he had bought a machete.
He also used Google Drive and YouTube to share early versions of propaganda videos he had made with confidential informants, and made references to conducting “cyber jihad,” the complaint states.
He also said if law enforcement came looking for him, he wasn’t sure whether he “wouldn’t pull the trigger,” according to the complaint.
Al-Ghazi’s mother, Gail Johnson, previously said that her son converted to Islam in prison. While her son never talked about violence, she said, his conversion did cause strain their relationship.

Doesn’t every religion condone beheading those who don’t believe? Why is everyone picking on Islam? It’s the Religion of Piece, er, Peace!
No Fear says
You are quite right. The world is full of Jehovahs Witnesses, Mormons, Buddhists, Jains, Rosicrucians and Methodists who are beheading those who are unbelievers. Jains are particularly violent. They sweep insects out of their way when they walk in case they squash them.

You forgot those wicked Baha’i guys. Fiends, the lot of them!

Yesterday, I read that Former Deputy Director of the FBI, Tom Fuene now Senior CNN Analyst opined the you can’t jump to conclusions that the terrorist Mohammed Abdulazeez was Muslim. Now, I lived in Israel knew Christians & Muslim. I’ve never met nor known of a Christian named Mohammed. I will take a stab at it that Brigitte from the Land of Cedars hasn’t met Christians named Mohammed. I don’t know if I should laugh or cry that the US Government would employ an idiot or liar like this one. Yet he held a Senior Level position and this scary. If he Is paid more than a dollar a day by CNN It’s too much. I bring this up to illustrate an organized attempt to deflect away from Islam, Muslims and an organized unit. This person the buzz words are murder son=crazy alone=lone wolf Convert=not a real Muslim and doesn’t understand Islam Uses weed=Not a pIous or strict MuslIm. Then there was a condolence for the 4 marines murdered. It would have been a perfect opportunity to condemn Hamas Hezbollah ISIS and all terror. The public doesn’t see the road they are being directed down but its not the true path and they won’t see the destination.
Nathan says
Imagine a world, if you will. Where all the Christian people feel compelled to call their sons Jesus… How far up our own religious backsides will we be, to do that?
Well that’s where islam is.
Up mohammed’s backside. In the dark wondering why the world smells, tastes and looks like s**t.
Oliver says
Nathan, excellent analogy and great comment.
No Fear says
In the UK where 36% of child genetic defects are caused by people copying Mohammed and marrying their own cousin, the parents of the defective children love to call the kids “Mohammed”. I assume that they are too stupid to know that Mohammed was incorrect when he described himself as an “excellent example” for man.
Some people are SO dim and suggestable that it is quite sad. Islam is a particularly noxious form of mind control.

We should not let anyone with the name Muhammad or one of its derivations immigrate into the USA.
This guy is just another of thousands of Black American criminals who converted to Islam while in prison. Liberals teach Blacks to hate America and to hate White people, which makes converting to Islam seem like a good way to get back at Whitey. Muslims can rape infidel women, attack infidel men, and have sex with little girls as Muhammad did. Islam has great appeal to misogynists, rapists, pedophiles, those who hate America, and Blacks who hate Whites.
Oliver says
I agree .
I also know black Christians who don’t hate whites, and love the US. They usually are not very liberal.
Uncle Vladdi says
Well and succinctly put!
Here’s the most recent American prison-inmate-by-religion stats:
US Inmate population religious preferences
58% Christian
29% Muslim
13% Other (including Atheist)
Since muslims are at most 3% of the total population in America, it’s obvious they are TEN TIMES more likely than their numbers would indicate, to be in prison.
And I believe Americans in general poll at 80% Christian, so they are under-represented in prison, by at least 30% or one third less than one might have otherwise expected, based on population percentage alone.
Oliver says
If there were statistics for Jews, the % would be even lower. HOWEVER, when a Jew commits a crime, or someone with a “Jewish sounding name’ ( like Zimmerman -in the Orlando area-re: Treyvon Martin case) the media blows it up.
And (in the Zimmerman case), that he was stopped for speeding in Texas; argues with his wife; farted in public, etc, ad infinitum, ad nauseum.
But let a Muslim do a crime- -like this- ” don’t know for sure—“. The double standards are sickening
Chad says
Allen West recently asked the question of when is Obama going to admit we have a growing problem with radical Jihadists here in America.
My reply to that is how can anyone seriously expect Obama to admit we have a problem with Islamic Jihadists in America when he has done everything in his power as president to accommodate their entering into America in the first place? From his own policies & bringing members of the Muslim Brotherhood into his administration, to practically laying out a welcome mat on our southern border for them.
This fraud has been nurturing the seeds of his treason against our country since before his political career even began.
Oliver says
before his name change, it was Mc Collum; his mother’s name is Johnson. Any hint that he (a) knows or knew his father? (B) has/had any contact with his infidel son ( age not mentioned- could be 2 or 20 or anywhere in between, or older or younger).
There seems that there was and still is a dysfunctional family or families. not that this creep is any good. Ex Con, converts to Islam in prison. I am sure he was not there for jaywalking, or spitting on the sidewalk.
Angemon says
Such a thing is unheard off… sarc./ off
Victoria says
How is it that they allow these teachings in prison?. WTF is wrong with the world?
particolor says
You get more privileges here converting ! Like Your own Special Food !
Mahendra Singh says
Al-Ghazi in Islamic glossary means “slayer of Infidels”. His facilitators are clever.
They are using American flesh to promote their agenda. There is nothing new about it.
The Ottomans used Christian boys, grabbed at young age, perhaps 10, converted,
and intensely trained to be the cutting edge of Ottoman hordes. The motto of these
Janissaries was to come victorious or dead. Read the full account in one of several books
on Turkey.
Two things saved Europe: (1) The Church, which actively helped the resistance and kept
their morale up and(2) John Sobieski a Polish king who crushed the siege of Vienna in 1683.
Without them even European would have the name Mohammad.

Mahendra, I did not know this. Thanks for the post.

Surprisingly, Ann Coulter is in denial over this threat, despite the fact that her friend, Pamela Geller, was the victim of a terrorist attack.
See “Coulter Denies Islamist Threat” at http://wp.me/p4jHFp-69.
Davegreybeard says
Well, here you are once again, Petey, what ever could be your agenda?
Attacking Ann Coulter, of course, but what’s REALLY on your mind?
Huuum, Petey?
A little stench here, but I can’t quite put my finger on it – yet…

– No evidence that he acted on his beliefs . . . no unidentified, missing head has yet to be found? So much for that All Points Bulletin (APB) . . .
Cal Daniels says
Considering their love of blowing people up, and cutting off heads and limbs, Islam should be called:
“The religion of pieces”
