NJ Muslim pleads guilty to trying to raise “small army” of Islamic State fighters

Oct 29, 2015 11:43 pm By Robert Spencer

“His lawyer said if members of the group had failed to get to Syria or Iraq on their own, they had discussed an alternate plan of buying guns inside the US and targeting the White House and other landmarks for an attack. In the past year, the FBI has arrested 7 men in all from New York and New Jersey for their alleged ties to this homegrown, ISIS-inspired terror cell.” How many more are there? How many other such cells are there?

Alaa Saadeh

“New Jersey Man Who Tried to Help Organize ‘Small Army’ of ISIS Fighters Pleads Guilty,” by Jonathan Dienst and Erin Petenko, NBC New York, October 29, 2015 (thanks to Lookmann):

A 24 year-old New Jersey man who tried to help organize a “small army” of ISIS fighters in the Garden State and New York pleaded guilty Thursday to terror-related charges.

Alaa Saadeh was part of a group of men who were trying to support the ISIS terror group. Saadeh admitted he gave money and credit cards to other members of the group to try to help them travel to Syria. He and others in the group watched ISIS propaganda including beheadings and other killings by the terror group. His brother, Nader Saadeh, was among the group charged in the scheme.

Saadeh pleaded guilty to conspiring to provide material support to ISIS in Newark federal court before Judge Sarah Wigenton.

He is set to be sentenced Feb. 16 and could face up to 15 years in prison.

His defense attorney said Saadeh does not plan to cooperate with prosecutors as part of his plea deal.

Saadeh is the second man to plead guilty in connection with this New Jersey cell. In September, Samuel Topaz admitted he wanted to join ISIS. His lawyer said if members of the group had failed to get to Syria or Iraq on their own, they had discussed an alternate plan of buying guns inside the US and targeting the White House and other landmarks for an attack.

In the past year, the FBI has arrested 7 men in all from New York and New Jersey for their alleged ties to this homegrown, ISIS-inspired terror cell. Officials have said the investigation is ongoing….

    This tells me that something much much bigger is going on here.
    When is our government going to start charging these apes with treason?
    How does Obama and his administration play in all this.
    Why does our elected officials who should be doing everything they can to protect the public cower before Islam?
    Why do I feel as if I have been sold into slavery, just nobody has told me yet?

      Probably the elite politicians are afraid these radical Muslims will come after them.

    Fortunately, these guys are dopes and wannabes.
    Unfortunately, there will be others.

    Telling the truth about someone or something is not **bashing**.
    Bashing is unfounded criticism, ridicule or lies.
    Chances are that what the public does not know is far far worse than one could imagine.
    Just like a criminal that is in jail, he/she is probably not there for all the crimes that were committed.

    Why would they want to shoot up the White House, currently occupied by the Best Friend of the Muslims?

    Good morning Muslim World.
    Friday Morning
    Wash well before prayer because his is the big day to impress Allah.
    You might be crazy over Allah. But, does Allah really care about you?
    What is it like to be a Muslim?

    Enjoy this early morning interlude as Patsy Cline sings “Crazy”

    Isn’t it madness to get encouraged to join ISIS by watching gruesome videos of beheadings? They really need to be taken care of in an asylum like prison where will be a huge economic burden on the society. Isn’t it safer to clear streets off them? The best way to get rid of them is letting them to immigrate to their beloved caliphate. They do not deserve freedom; they deserve to be sentenced to life under Sharia. Let them go and revoke their citizenship. All those Islamic cults will deal with each other. Just sit back and relax and let the elite intelligence officers just observe them.

    Why aren’t Scumbag Shaahid and his f-buddies being judged for treason? Or spies and saboteurs, depending on their nationalitie(s)?

    Excellent. Let me feed this poor muslim for 15 years out of my tax $s so he can spread the religion of peace with the help of visiting imams in the prison.

    We are losing the war against Islam more and more each day.
