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

Agents nab Pakistani Muslims with jihad terror connections crossing U.S. border

What could possibly go wrong, you racist, bigoted Islamophobe?

Rio Grande border patrol

“Agents nab Pakistanis with terrorist connections crossing U.S. border,” by Stephen Dinan, Washington Times, December 30, 2015 (thanks to Steve):

When the U.S. Border Patrol nabbed two Pakistani men with ties to terrorism at the U.S.-Mexico border in September, it marked just the latest instance of illegal immigrants from so-called “special interest countries” using the southern border as a point of entry into the country.

Muhammad Azeem and Mukhtar Ahmad, both in their 20s and from Gujrat, were caught Sept. 20 by agents south of San Diego and just over the international border from Tijuana. When agents checked their identities through databases, they got hits on both of them: Mr. Ahmad popped up as an associate of a known or suspected terrorist, while Mr. Azeem’s information had been shared by a foreign government for intelligence purposes.

Both men had been processed two months earlier by immigration officials in Panama, suggesting they took advantage of smuggling networks or other routes increasingly used by Central American illegal immigrants to sneak into the U.S.

It comes as lawmakers on Capitol Hill are increasingly worried about potential terrorists gaining entry to the U.S. through the border with Mexico or taking advantage of lax screening elsewhere in the immigration system.

“The southern land border remains vulnerable to intrusion and exists as a point of extreme vulnerability,” Rep. Duncan Hunter, California Republican, wrote in a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson last week demanding to know how many people in the FBI’s terrorist screening database have been caught at the border.

“Evidently there are criminal organizations and individuals with the networks and know-how to facilitate illegal entry into the United States without regard for one’s intentions or status on a terrorist watchlist,” Mr. Hunter wrote. “The detention of the two Pakistani nationals underscores the fact that any serious effort to secure our homeland must include effective border security and immigration enforcement.”…

    Thank goodness that Obama and Turdeau are making it so much easier for fake refugees to come into the US and Canada without a bunch of that stupid vetting! That route through Panama and Mexico must be one hell of a lot of work and expense for jihad just to be caught at the border! Now all they’ll need is a forged passport or a few fake documents.

      Easier and cheaper to claim to be ” desperate Syrian refugee” fleeing Christian persecution and get a free one way, red carpet trip to the USA.

      The risk these “migrants” bring is obvious in Europe and we can’t countenance it here.

    The more Muslims, the more the risk. 15% of Muslims worldwide self-identify as supporters of jihad-terror groups. Out of 3,000 to 7,000 Muslims, one is sure to be a terrorist. 3 million Muslims will hide about 1,000 terrorists. As kamikazes, they can do a lot of harm.

    They’re out there in all Western countries as sleepers. Many are radicalized Muslim youth. They just need someone to lead them.

      “3 million Muslims will hide about 1,000 terrorists.” There is certainly more in this statement than the mere presences of terrorists among “moderate Muslims”.

      Looks like presidential candidate Donald Trump is right again and by the way, Mexico will build the wall to protect USA.

      From countries like Pakistan and Somalia the percentage of Muslims who support jihad and sharia law may be as high as 80%. It makes no sense to take any immigrants or students from Muslim countries where jihad and sharia are popular. These people just do not share our Western values like freedom of speech, religion, and the press and they do not believe in equal rights for women.

    Islamic leaders have declared war on the United States and Europe. They are sending invaders to live among us while plotting our destruction. If these were “Communists” or Aliens from Outer Space we would fight back, but because they cloak their organization with the trappings of a “religion” we just roll over and let it happen.

    We all need to wake up to the clear and present danger and put a stop to the Islamization of America by banning all the pressure groups like CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood. The Koran needs to be exposed as the hate speech that it is and made illegal in all civilized countries.

      I would argue the communists defeated us in the 20th century because we didn’t fight back.
      We rolled over and allowed them to infest and capture our universities, schools and media.
      It just didn’t happen with guns but through illegal exclusionary hiring practices so we don’t recognize it.
      Obama, Hillary and John Kerry represent the apex of this defeat.
      Once you control thinking, it’s only a short step to control politics.

        Thank the Liberals for this. I thought a Republican Congress would help,but like the rest of them only in it for the money.

    No! No! This is all a lie!! They do not cross our borders. It never happens. It’s not true.
    I know because Obama and the Democrats told me so.

    Well, I guess that puts a halt to Alan Colmes’ regurgitated assertion that not one instance of “terrorists” entering through President Obama’s really, really well controlled Southern border has ever been documented.

    If vertically challenged, such “terrorists” could probably come across the border as an MS-13 gangster’s kid.

    Happy New Year to all my counter jihad commenters, Robert Spencer and his writers at JihadWatch.org, and all your family members. Words do not adequately denote my gratitude to you for what you have taught me. And, I use your name shamelessly with many people to whom I converse, I am so proud of you all. I also pray for you and your families, even the Muslim trolls, that they will know Jesus Christ and the freedom He gives. Here’s to a safe 2016.❤??

    This is on “speaker” Paul Ryan.
    His refuses to do the job he is neither qualified nor suited for.

    Ditto for the so-called Republican leadership.
    They would rather lay in bed with Obama and Hillary as losers than dare risk allowing outsiders to win.
    Horror of horrors we might even have a chance to roll back this insane regulatory legislative nanny state.

    AKA policy

    Obama will just reclassify them as REFUGEES who were possibly planning workplace violence and the MSM will praise terrorist proof border controls

    Why should the West take in the current tsunami of Islamic “refugees” who are mostly army age young men who pose a very real threat to the Western countries accepting them and who still have a homeland to which they can return. Better that the West accept the Yazidi and over 1 million Christians who have been terrorized, enslaved, tortured, killed and driven from their Middle Eastern homelands with no hope of ever safely returning. The governments of the West need to quit acting like blind, spineless “fellow travelers” and smell the coffee of reality.

    Does Obama know that Americans are manning that border?
