Expect the usual stories now: Jalil Ibn Ameer Aziz went to the mosque infrequently, if at all. No one there knew him, but the local Muslims, shocked (shocked!) that this could happen, are bracing themselves for the “anti-Muslim backlash.” These stories can write themselves; all mainstream media reporters have to do is fill in the blanks with the latest names, places and dates.
“Neighbors Of Harrisburg Teen Charged With Supporting ISIS Express Disbelief,” by Natasha Brown, CBS, December 18, 2015 (thanks to Larry):
HARRISBURG, Pa. (CBS) — Neighbors of the Harrisburg teenager who has been charged with providing material support to ISIS say they’re shocked something like this could happen so close to home.
The Department Of Justice (DOJ) announced that Jalil Ibn Ameer Aziz, 19, a U.S. citizen, is charged in a criminal complaint unsealed today in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
“It’s pretty crazy, when it’s right here at home,” one neighbor told Eyewitness News. “You hear it from California or Paris, but then it’s right up the street, it’s real.”
According to the complaint, Aziz has used at least 57 different Twitter accounts to advocate violence against the U.S. and U.S. citizens.
Aziz is alleged to have posted a hyperlink containing the names, addresses and other personal information of 100 reported U.S. military members and calls for violence against them.
According to the DOJ, in at least three occasions, Aziz also allegedly used his Twitter accounts and other means of electronic communication to help individuals travel to and fight for the terror group.
“According to the allegations in the complaint, Jalil Ibn Ameer Aziz conspired to provide and attempted to provide material support to ISIL by propagating their hateful rhetoric on social media and aiding individuals in their pursuit of traveling overseas to join the designated foreign terrorist organization,” said Assistant Attorney General Carlin. “A prior physical search of Aziz’s residence also revealed a tactical-style backpack in his closet, which contained high-capacity weapons magazines, ammunition, a knife, and other survival items. The National Security Division’s highest priority is counterterrorism, and we will remain vigilant in our efforts to hold accountable any and all those who seek to provide material support to terrorists, and to disrupt potential attacks in the United States before they happen.”…

Instead of sending him to jail, where he will get more radicalized, or help radicalize others, his passport should be revoked and he be deported back to where he or his parents came from. Those he help send to join ISIS or other, should have their passports revoked immediately. This will send a message to others like him. The more the US Government delays in taking such steps, the narrower the window of opportunity becomes.
mortimer says
The countries their parents come from don’t want to receive more terrorists either. They have enough of their own and try to send them to the West.

This brings the Pakistani riff-raff in Britain to mind.
Angemon says
He’s described as a “a U.S. citizen”.
Andrew H. says
If he is a citizen, try him for treason and then execute him with a firing squad or hang him.

Intellectually lazy journalists and their even lazier editors assume that MONKEYS can write a story about Islam, whereas the truth is that it takes a QUARTER OF A LIFETIME to study and understand Islam…a confusing, convoluted and self-referentially incoherent set of dualistic doctrines.
Many journalists start out by writing the sports page and then advance gradually to politics if they are strong.
Somehow, editors have such contempt for religion and smugness about their understanding of it, that they assume Islam can be explain using Marxist economic grievance theory. It cannot. Islam is a dialectic of its own.
Journalists and their presumptuous editors are BADLY LETTING US DOWN by not reporting Islamic news out of a clear grasp of its main political doctrines: the jihad doctrine, the kafir doctrine and the taqiyya doctrine.

Yes we’ve seen this pattern unfold so predictably over so many years now that its no wonder that the term ‘lying press’ was coined. But why this amazing lack of diversity in the treatment of these really important life and limb stories?

My answer: cultural Marxist economic grievance theory allows only one answer every time.

The only Muslims that want to denounce jihad are the heretical, non-Sunnite, non-Salafist Ahmaddis.
Our unprepared, uninformed journalists use the Ahmaddis for comments, because the mainstream Salafist Sunnites don’t want to be caught lying about jihad.
Journalists would never ask a Jehovah’s Witness or Mormon to speak for the Roman Catholic Church, but journalists ask Ahmaddis to speak for Sunnite Islam. These journalists are letting us down BADLY due to their lack of preparation.

bracing themselves for the “anti-Muslim backlash.
After 14 yrs it’s finally happened: there was a anti-Moslem backlash in the United States. Up in Grand Forks ND, of all places, a few days after the Jihad mass murder in San Bernadino some guy torched a Starbucks franchise owned by Moslems. He did it at night when the joint was closed, so there were no injuries. He was arrested for the crime yesterday, and will probably end up doing several years in the pokey; arson is a serious crime punished harshly by judges.

APF
ESPECIALLY when it is against those ever so peaceful, cute, cuddly, friendly, harmonious, amicable, cordial, nonviolent, charitable, free-handed, hospitable, prodigal, bountiful, open-handed, unstinting, beneficent, princely, bounteous, munificent and ungrudging Muslims.
Sorry if I missed a few, I’ll call CAIR next time so as not to hurt their feelings by leaving something out.

This is the only silver lining in these latest attacks here at home. When it actually occurs just up the street from you, then it finally gets through all the lazy journalistic disinformation.
And Raymond Ibrahim is quite right that the only sliver lining in the Muslim refugee fiasco is that once they are here, our people will truly see what they are about.

” .. the only sliver lining in the Muslim refugee fiasco is that once they are here, our people will truly see what they are about.’
I wish Raymond Ibrahim were correct, PrayerWarrior, but I don’t think he is. It presupposes that people are capable of looking at the evidence, and judging accordingly. Which most of them aren’t, or refuse to do so. Even when it affects them personally. There are many cases of people who have been brought up close and personal as to what islam and sharia means for them, and *still* refuse to look at reality. Google Amanda Lindhout, for a start.
I sincerely, and deeply, hope I am wrong.
I myself think, it will not be until the politicians and the msm are targeted, that we *may* see a change. But all these people are surrounded by top notch security; politicians, in particular, don’t give a tuppenny damn about the ordinary people they are elected to protect. Once their *own* hides are singed, and that of their children, *possibly* there might be an awakening. But I don’t bank on it.
I think it will, eventually, come down to ordinary people. I wish I was younger.
PrayerWarrior says
I read started reading Amanda Lindhout’s “A House in the Sky” some time ago. I stopped reading early on after I read what she had to say about her upbringing.
She revealed that while she was growing up, her mother had a history letting dangerous men live in her house, and she supposed that that’s what led her wanting a career where should would be living in dangerous places. Clearly, she was psychologically damaged before she was ever kidnapped. Stockhome syndrome to the max!
But your pessimism is well founded. I think Raymond Ibrahim was being sarcastically fatalistic.
I just hope against hope myself.

Put him on trial for treason, and if convicted, hang him, or give him life at hard labor, at Leavenworth.
It is past time to deal with these treason committing animals.
