The political and media elites would have us believe that this is a case of more converts to Islam misunderstanding their new, peaceful religion. Yet there is no program in any mosque or Islamic school in the country to teach converts to avoid the understanding of Islam represented by the Islamic State.
“Ex-Illinois Guardsman Pleads Guilty in Islamic State Plot,” Associated Press, December 14, 2015:
A former Illinois National Guard soldier pleaded guilty Monday to charges alleging he conspired to provide material support to the Islamic State group.
Hasan Edmonds, 23, of Aurora, Illinois, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiring to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and one count of attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization.
The pleas in Chicago federal court came one week after his cousin, Jonas Edmonds, 30, of Aurora, pleaded guilty to similar charges.
“Hasan and Jonas Edmonds conspired to provide material support to ISIL,” John P. Carlin, assistant attorney general for national security, said in a news release, using one of the alternative names for the Islamic State group. “They admitted planning to wage violence on behalf of ISIL in the Middle East and to conduct an attack on our soil.”
Prosecutors say Hasan Edmonds devised a plan for Hasan Edmonds to travel to the Middle East and join Islamic State fighters overseas. After dropping his cousin off at Midway International Airport last March, Jonas Edmonds went to Hasan Edmonds’ home and collected several National Guard uniforms that he planned to wear as a disguise during a planned attack at the Joliet armory, the plea agreement said.
Agents with the Chicago FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force arrested Hasan Edmonds before he could board his flight and arrested Jonas Edmonds at his home a short time later.
Charges alleged the armory attack was planned to kill as many as 150 people….

… and there will not be any such educational programs by mosques, because this is just a “religion”, right?

It looks like then Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano was right when she predicted that our biggest threat would be from disgruntled Iraq and Afghan vets. But somehow I don’t think she envisioned that their bitter vengeance would manifest itself in this way.

In the privacy of their home, Obama says to Michelle: “If I had a son, he’d look like Hasan Edmonds.”
Angemon says
And if he were a practicing muslim he’d blame her for not having any sons and beat her.

He learned to be an American soldier so he could murder American soldiers.
All of Islam is Taqiyya…from start to finish. There is no Islam without Taqiyya.
Taqiyya disguises the jihad-terrorism. Jihad-terrorism is the highest act in Islam…Islam’s holy sacrament of RITUALIZED MURDER.
Shane says
No one practices Taqiyya better than Obama does, or maybe he is just a pathological liar. It is clear that Obama places a low priority on protecting Americans from Islamic terrorism. Obama had Robert Spencer kicked off the guys that educated our counter-terrorism team about jihad and Islam.

This brings serious questions to the forefront: can Muslim soldiers be trusted? Can Muslims in general be trusted to uphold the constitution and American values?
Freija says
No
Dave J says
Being born into Islam is one thing, I can feel quite sympathetic to the unfortunate children as they are systematically brainwashed by their parents and “spiritual leaders”.
But to knowingly and voluntarily convert to such a demonic ideology takes an unbelievable amount of dissonant ignorance and, I would argue, evil intent.
Only those with psychotic or criminal tendencies would even entertain the idea.
Oppressaphobe says
Yawn!!
We are slowly getting used to this type of thing, thanks to Obama who would not be a leader!!
Any leader worth their salt would be out there acknowledging the problem and putting forth solutions, as well as speaking directly to the perpetrators that we will get you and kill you if you do this on our soil.
Instead, these people think that ‘Obama got their back!!!!’
OBAMAGOTTAGOGO—HE IS THE PROBLEM.
