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

Mississippi Islamic State recruit praised Chattanooga jihad massacre

Aug 12, 2015 8:51 am By Robert Spencer

Jaelyn-Young Muhammad-Oda-DakhlallaLaw enforcement officials and the mainstream media just can’t figure out a motive for the Chattanooga murder of five U.S. servicemen by a young Muslim who had spoken about seeking “martyrdom” and downloaded material by the slain jihadi imam Anwar al-Awlaki. Muslims inclined to jihad, however, are not so hesitant to see the Chattanooga massacre for what it was, and desire to emulate it.

“Teen Would-Be Islamic State Recruit Praised Chattanooga Shooting, FBI Say,” by Morgan Chalfant, Washington Free Beacon, August 11, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

A 19-year-old Mississippi resident recently charged by the FBI with attempting to join the Islamic State praised the attack on two Chattanooga military facilities last month that killed five U.S. servicemen.

ABC News reported that Jaelyn Delshaun Young of Starkville, Mississippi, celebrated the Chattanooga shootings in an online conversation with an undercover FBI agent.

“What makes me feel bette[r] after just watching the news is that an akhi [brother] carried out an attack against US marines in TN! Alhamdulillah [Thanks be to God], the numbers of supporters are growing,” Young told the agent in an online forum the day after the attack.

Young, along with Mississippi resident 22-year-old Muhammad Oda Dakhlalla, has been formally charged with attempting to support a terrorist organization. The two plotted for months to travel to Turkey and from there enter Syria and join the Islamic State (IS, also known as ISIL or ISIS).

“The only thing keeping me away is $$$ but working all of this overtime will be worth [it] when I am finally there,” Young allegedly said online. According to the FBI, the teenager wanted to provide “medical aid” to individuals once in Syria.

Dakhlalla allegedly told an undercover FBI agent, “I wish to be a mujahid akhi [holy warrior]. I am willing to fight. I want to be taught what it really means to have that heart in battle!”

An affidavit filed by an FBI agent indicates that the couple claimed to have an Islamic marriage in order to travel as a pair to Syria.

Authorities waited to apprehend the couple until they had arrived at a Mississippi airport with their passports and plane tickets, where ultimately they confessed to their designs to join the terrorist organization. A federal magistrate judge has ordered the couple be held without bail as they await trial.

According to the Vicksburg (Miss.) Post, Young was an honor roll student in high school who went on to attend Mississippi State.

Republican lawmakers have insisted that the attack on the Chattanooga military facilities was an act of terrorism, though President Obama has refrained from defining it as such….

    Muslims never cease preying on blacks. They’ve been doing it for 1400 years. Saudi Arabia outlawed slavery in 1964.

      There are more sex slaves in Saudi Arabia than in any other nation.

    She’s physically beautiful, but that beautiful shell hides an ugly heart and soul. She’s smart as well, having graduated high school with honours, yet she’s messed up enough to convert to that vile, anti-human ideology. She has traded what could have been a very bright future for a savage Muslim male. Sad.

      If she is as intelligent as her high schools honors indicates, she wouldn’t have lasted in Islam.
      Studies show most converts to Islam eventually leave the hateful pseudo-religion, as they gradually find out Islam is not what deceitful Dawa propagandists tout it to be.
      She would have come to that realization sooner in ISIS territory, with all the wanton beheadings and rapes. But by then it would be too late for her to leave, because ISIS would behead her as an apostate.

    According to the Vicksburg (Miss.) Post, Young was an honor roll student in high school who went on to attend Mississippi State.

    Again, another recruit that falls outside the “poor, uneducated” stereotype.

    Republican lawmakers have insisted that the attack on the Chattanooga military facilities was an act of terrorism

    Which it was.

    though President Obama has refrained from defining it as such….

    Let me guess: workplace violence that has nothing to do with islam? Random bout of mental insanity that has nothing to do with islam?

    If she is a convert shouldn’t she have a convert’s name? Why doesn’t the media report that name?

    Maybe not in this case, but until the facts are known, and they may not be told, ex military and police depts. are not immune to having a staff members who are muslim, who could also support jihad doctrine.

    This is the reason why the connection of jihad terror and Islam is always denied. It is a interwoven potential, interwoven in all areas, think nearly every dept in government such as dept. of natural resources, enviromental agencies etc. who knows how that spill happened…neligent or intentional, makes me wonder. Termites destroy from within wet wood, unseen in the beginning….sound familiar?

    My father was born in Vicksburg Miss, a long time ago when few had even heard of Islam, and no one knew what jihad was…Those were the good old days…
