“ElShinawy was communicating with ISIS terrorists in other countries, many of whom sent him money to possibly carry out an attack or to travel to Syria.” Which other countries? Any in the West?
“Who Is Mohamed Yousef ElShinawy? Maryland Man Charged With Supporting Islamic State, Lying To FBI,” by Abigail Abrams, International Business Times, December 14, 2015:
A Maryland man has been charged with providing support to the Islamic State group and with lying to the FBI, the Washington Post reported on Monday. Mohamed Yousef ElShinawy was arrested on Friday afternoon at his home in Edgewood, Maryland, U.S. law enforcement officials said.
ElShinawy was communicating with ISIS terrorists in other countries, many of whom sent him money to possibly carry out an attack or to travel to Syria. He was expected to be arraigned on Monday in federal court. It was unclear if ElShinawy had an attorney.
This arrest comes as Americans are already on edge after recent terror attacks in Paris and in San Bernardino, California. Recent polls have shown American adults see terrorism as the biggest threat facing their country and that nearly 80 percent of Americans believe a terrorist threat is at least somewhat likely.
The FBI has arrested more than 60 people in the past year in connection with ISIS and the agency has sharply increased its efforts to combat the threat of the extremist group in the United States, the Washington Post reported. New York, Illinois and California have had the most people charged in connection with the terrorist group, according to data collected by the Washington Post.
After the Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attacks in Paris and inspired the San Bernardino shooters, many U.S. politicians have urged the government to take a stronger stance against terrorism. Republican governors and presidential candidates have called for the U.S. to stop accepting Syrian refugees, many of whom are Muslim, because they fear potential terrorists could sneak into the country with groups of refugees….

“A Maryland man has been charged with providing support to the Islamic State group and with lying to the FBI”…
Well…that’s nothing! 15% of all Muslims worldwide support a terrorist group in some way…they lie to everyone around them and lie to all the dirty kufaar they meet.
About 300 million Muslims support jihad terror.
Donald Trump’s comment that ‘We have to find out why this is happening’ is actually the right advice.
An international panel of ANONYMOUS scholars should be selected to sort out what is wrong with Islamic jihad and how we can stop it.
The results will probably look like Robert Spencer’s books.
I am dreaming, but I wish Mr. Trump would hire scholars to come up with a SOLUTION TO ISLAMIC JIHAD.
BC says
An Al jazeera poll of 38,000 Muslims in Arabic found that 81% supported or agreed with the ;caliphate’
so I think your figure of 15% is a gross underestimate
Lenny Thetruth says
There are things that an individual agrees with, but would not do themselves. Most Conservative Muslims agree with Sharia but would not kill their own child. Most Muslims I’ve met are nice people. But, below the surface, in their hearts, they feel they are living a lie. It is just easier to conform to American standards and not go to jail.
But, if we allow the nature of this country to change, that desire to conform will change too. Our ancestors came to America where the streets were paved with gold, to persue the American dream. They wanted to be part of it, not change it. They were looking for an opportunity.
With Muslims, there is a different opportunity. Each act of hatred emboldens them. They become defiant. They may know something is wrong, per American standards, but right, according to Islam.
We can’t just stop all of Islam from coming here. But, we can make sure they will not hurt us. We know they won’t police themselves, so we will always have to. We must always make it clear that there may be a Muslim solution to a problem, but if that does not suit the American people, they need to look elsewhere.
The first thing we must do is accept some Muslims will still come here, unwelcomed. We need to put them in a basket, and watch that basket very closely. We must not let in those we can’t vet. They have stolen passport printing machines and the same passport number has come up with different people. So, we must have better security, We must know exactly who is coming and they should have a sponser who will be legally responsible for their actions.
Finally, this must be done in a cost efficient manner. It can not be paid for with money collected for Social Security. We can’t take the money from the V.A. either. Our own homeless must be helped before we take on the rest of the worlds homeless. They may call themselves “refugees” but are, in fact, migrants. We can not allow these migrants to usurp the rights of hard working Americans. This government exists for the people and we should be grateful, but not stupid. Charity begins at home. It is okay to share what YOU have, but it is not okay for you to share what I have, unless I agree to it.
steve says
I agree with you. A fundamental transformation is needed, to borrow a reference by o’dumber, but not to turn us into Ameristan but a reformation transformation of islam the same as happened with christianity although it was never on the same level of violence that runs in the blood of islam. There are some Muslims trying to promote reform but hardly enough and those who do are treated essentially as westerners – that is, as kaffir and who live on the fear of death threats and excommunication from others they have known. Muslims in this country will have to be directed by our leaders and laws essentially to complement any change that will occur and as long as we have this pathetic traitorous administration in office that is not going to happen. The only real hope for the country is to get this administration out of office and keep them out. 326 days and counting!

Sure lets bring more of them in….

“many of whom are Muslim” ???
Did the International Business Times include this phrase:
1. to belabor the obvious?
2. to paint a background of “intolerance”?
3. to associate the afore mentioned Republicans with “prejudice”?
4. all of the above?
Freddy S. says
Donald Trump is right. Drawing Mohammed, the uncivilized Prophet of Islam, is legal and should be legal, but there are better things we can do to fight evil.

The sad reality is everybody knows that the refugees will include many terrorists but the government has
exposed the fact that it is GAMBLING WITH THE LIVES OF AMERICANS.
Any PATHETIC SPEECH that the muzzie-prez could give will no longer appease and assuage the fear of
americans that they are left UNPROTECTED. by the very agency whose sole responsibility is the
protection of the people. How many times have you heard the apoligists for terrorists say:
“THERE’S ALWAYS RISKS IN LIFE–YOU CAN’T PREVENT ALL RISKS”
When you hear that you know who you are dealing with instantly.
But worse than that, after you hear CAIR say that SB victims got what they deserved then you
must conclude that Barach Obama thinks, “Oh well, there is risks to life and Americans just have
to take their share of blame and consequences while I level the playing field for Islam.”
HE DOESN’T REALLY CARE THAT MUCH THAT WE ARE NOW AT A CONSTANT RISK OF TERROR ON OUR SOIL
HIS GOAL IS TO MAKE THIS A MUSLIM NATION–PLAIN AND SIMPLE.
And Americans are cooperating quite nicely while he quietly goes about his business of turning
this nation into a brown nation and wiping out Western civilization.
WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED TO KNOW? HOW MUCH MORE DO WE NEED TO BE INSULTED
LIED TO, PUT IN HARMS WAY? HOW MUCH MORE OF THE AMERICAN SPIRIT MUST BE SNUFFED OUT BEFORE WE CALL A SPADE A SPADE? (My apologies to Melissa Harris)
Barach Obama was the greatest deceiver ever because he POSED AS A BLACK PRESIDENT.
Being black is being American. America has fostered a fantastic, strong, healthy, smart blacks!
We love blacks in America–we worship them! Our sports celebrity, music celebs, etc…are blacks and
we have had a good, strong, healthy relationship for decades now.
So we wanted a black president. BUT WE GOT A MUSLIM AND THAT IS THE PROBLEM.
He had the nerve to DESTROY OUR BLACK/WHITE RELATIONSHIP–NOT TO ADVANCE THE
BLACKS BUT TO EMPOWER THE MUSLIMS TO TAKE OVER THE COUNTRY-you been played..
Wake up black America, Obama is NOT YOUR FREIND.
Despite slavery, which did not start in America, it started by Africans selling Africans, blacks have had a fairy tale existence in America going from lowly slave to the presidency. Look at the success of Ben Carson who we adore!!
John says
I could not have said this any better, in fact I on a daily basis attempt to wake people in America to wake up to these facts. I can’t understand why Americans have been lulled to sleep on these facts about Obama and his Islamist support and empowerment.
Oppressaphobe says
Don’t hug a Muslim today as I heard someone say, hug a black American today because we need to start to heal the divide that Obama has caused in our race relations.
Smile at a black person today. Don’t look past them but look at their face and you will be blessed because God has put a special spirit inside them that is like no other. Of course all races are unique but because of Political Correctness we are not allowed to say anything either good or bad about any race.
It’s ridiculous!
Angemon says
Probably more would have been arrested if the FBI wasn’t officially forbidden to learn about what makes them tick.
abad says
I’m sure Hussein O. told the FBI personally.
I cannot wait for him to leave the White House.
