“An Iraqi refugee who is facing charges that he tried to help the Islamic State group wanted to set off bombs at two Houston malls and was learning to make electronic transmitters that could be used to detonate explosive devices.” Solution: bring in more refugees! Anyone who thinks otherwise is a racist, bigoted Islamophobe.
“Federal agent says Iraqi refugee wanted to bomb Texas malls,” by Juan A. Lozano, Associated Press, January 14, 2016:
HOUSTON — An Iraqi refugee who is facing charges that he tried to help the Islamic State group wanted to set off bombs at two Houston malls and was learning to make electronic transmitters that could be used to detonate explosive devices, a federal agent testified.
Omar Faraj Saeed Al Hardan, who came to Houston from Iraq in 2009, was indicted last week on three charges, including attempting to provide support to a designated terrorist organization. He pleaded not guilty to all three charges during a court appearance on Wednesday.
U.S. District Judge Lynn Hughes denied granting Al Hardan a bond, ruling that there would be a serious risk that the Iraqi refugee would flee if released from federal custody.
Hughes made his decision after listening to testimony from Homeland Security Special Agent Herman Wittliff, who said that in addition to Al Hardan wanting to set off bombs at the two Houston malls, including the popular Galleria mall, the Iraqi man was also learning how to make electronic transmitters that could be used to detonate improvised explosive devices. Al Hardan wanted use cellphones — a collection of which were found in his apartment — to detonate the transmitters, Wittliff said.
“He wanted to build them (the transmitters) for ISIL,” Wittliff said.
“For what purpose?” asked prosecutor Ralph Imperato.
“So he could kill people,” Wittliff replied.
Al Hardan’s arrest prompted criticism of the Obama administration’s refugee policies from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who has been a leader among Republican governors calling for a halt to resettlement of Syrian refugees in their states. Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas called for a retroactive review of all refugees who have come to the U.S.
Immigrant advocates say they have full confidence in the vetting process and that tens of thousands of Iraqi refugees have been successfully resettled in the U.S.
Al Hardan’s older brother, Saeed Faraj Saeed Al Hardan, has said his sibling has denied any wrongdoing and that neither his brother nor anybody in their family had ever expressed any support for the Islamic State.
Prosecutors allege Al Hardan was coordinating efforts with another Iraqi refugee living in California, Aws Mohammed Younis Al-Jayab. The two men communicated through Facebook messenger from April 2013 to October 2014 and talked about getting weapons training and eventually sneaking into Syria to fight alongside the terrorist group, Wittliff said.
The agent also testified Al Hardan received training on how to use an AK-47 assault rifle in November 2014 on a farm outside Houston from a confidential informant who was working with federal authorities.
During the hearing, Wittliff read aloud excerpts from a conversation that authorities had recorded between Al Hardan and his wife in October 2014. Prosecutors did not say how the recording was obtained.
“Once I get the passport I will leave America, I will leave. I will make a widow of you,” Al Hardan said to his wife, according to the excerpt read in court. “I will go to Syria. I am not wacko. I am not wacko. I am speaking the truth. I want to blow myself up. I want to blow myself up … I am against America.”…

This is how the leftists of the west always get their way. They simply try to use guilt and racism to shame people into backing down. It has worked wonderfully to control Republican politicians that have supported Obama’s agenda all the way.

Don McKellar says
President Trump is going to sweep the lies and PC garbage away — at least as much as a president can. That’s why he is driving left-fascists absolutely insane.

Trumps website is pretty nice, his policies include defunding sanctuary cities…
I like Trumps policies, and have been asking people who are nay sayers if they have even reviewed his policies. If not, I ask the to educate themselves and to get back to me on concrete topics.
skeptic2000 says
I have been hearing Trump bring up the danger of some Muslims who want to bring violence to our shores. He has made public statements about temporarily suspending Muslim immigration “until we get the problem figured out.” I have no idea if Trump understands that Islam is a supremacist ideology whose objective is world conquest. Does he understand the forces that are wanting to bring Muslims to ‘colonize’ the US for a future takeover as they are actively doing in Europe? The terrorist attacks within the U.S. are like mosquito bites as compared to the debilitating disease to our culture and government the Muslim presence will inflict on us. This is truly a clash of civilizations and the West is losing big time. If Trump does understand this, he’s keeping to himself at the moment to avoid a fierce political backlash.
PRCS says
Not sure what he knows.
But, as he has bought into the “radical Islamic terrorist” meme, I have doubts.
Myxlplik says
You said it yourself, we are in a clash of civilizations & there is no substantial mainstream version of Islam which is compatible with western civilization.
When Trump says, he’ll halt all Muslim immigration until the problem is figured out, what he actually thinks becomes almost moot in the face of reality, because as long as there are substantial numbers of Muslims among us, coming and going freely from Dar al Islam, we’ll continue to suffer at the hands of this ideology.
They’ll never figure it out until they come to reality. Now, look I’d also rather have Robert Spencer as President, but you know as well as I do that the second you speak clearly about Islam you get disinvited from all the good parties. Trump is literally teetering on the edge of what you can say & still get elected.
I may regret saying this, but he’s the best we got other than Ben Carson.
Arthur says
I support Ben Carson. He’s a smart guy who has also drafted concrete plans. I think Carson is more libertarian than authoritarian and, in my view, much more likely to achieve positive results by persuading congress to his ideas. Plus, I know where Carson’s morality comes from and that it is rock solid. I don’t trust Trump to stick to his story once he’s in.
My vote in the Iowa caucus is going to be for Ben Carson. It seems like everyone else has already called the winner before a single vote has been cast, some kind of exercise in groupthink.
Radegunda says
I haven’t seen evidence that Trump understands the deeper problem of Islam. If he did, he wouldn’t have said that the moratorium should be in place “until we can figure out what the he!! is going on” — when he could have been figuring it out 14 years ago. He wouldn’t have been so adamant last summer that it was wrong to draw pictures and label them “Mohammed” because it offended Muslims. And he wouldn’t have voted for Obama in 2008.
Trump fans have a way of assuming that he really understands everything much more deeply than he lets on — just as they always give him a pass on anything off-key or rude or contradictory he says. They have a strange faith in him as a superhuman saviior-hero who shouldn’t be held to the same standards as mere mortals.
Jerry says
Amen
Shane says
We need to elect a president who will correctly identify the enemy as Islamic jihadis and who will do what is necessary to defeat the enemy. None of the Democrat candidates will even name the enemy for fear of offending Muslims!
Jaladhi says
Unless and until the west recognizes that its the Muslims and Islam are the problem and not the radical extremists and radical Islam incidents such as this will happen over and over again as we are seeing it!
But the lefty “liberals” in-charge in the government, media and academia will never, never let that happen!! They will prefer dying at the hands of these Muslims rather than calling them what they and their religin are!!
Jaladhi says
Stop all Muslim immigration to non-Muslim countries until they prove they can live oeacefully with others and themselves!!
skai says
Jaladhi ” …until they prove they can live peacefully with others and themselves ”’ A true Muslim can NEVER live in peace with others , reason Quran Sura 9:123 ” O’ Believers make war on the Infidels, who dwell around you. Let them find firmness in you. Know that Allah is with the righteous ” Quran is full of hate towards Jews , Christians and non believers . Now see http://www.thereligionofpeace.com
dlbrand says
Jaladhi said:
And not only the Left, but also far too many on the Right, as succinctly illustrated in the words on this spoken Tuesday night by Nikki Haley–elected, by the “House” to speak on behalf of the Party, and to state, with their “blessing,” just what she stated.

Hes like Clock boy !!
Obama should hug him
spartan says
Perhaps the US could express solidarity with the most holy salafist Saudi Arabia – home to the Prophet-may-peace-be-upon-him, and numerous other Muslim regimes, be joining them in refusing to accept Muslim refugees.
Or propose following in the Prophet-may-peace-be-upon-him’s footsteps with a hadj to most holy Medina and slay the inhabitants – rather than contaminating themselves in the lands of the unclean Kuffar.

There is a sign which reads, No Judgmental Zone, for men who want to use the women’s shower.
HOW ABOUT A SIGN WHICH READS, NO KILLING ZONE? Put it next to the sign, No Gun Zone.
mortimer says
Judge Lynn Hughes used good sense. This violent bigot Omar Faraj Saeed Al Hardan should be expelled from the US at the first opportunity.
Western elites have blinkers on when it comes to assessing Muslim immigrants because they HAVE NOT LEARNED THE JIHAD DOCTRINE of warfare against disbelievers until victory.
Those who wish to keep VIOLENT BIGOTS like al-Hardan out of the country are protecting the country’s security, but al-Hardan is the BIGOT.

“I want to blow myself up” Well, why not make his dream come true. Texas is huge right? Drive him to any spot in the middle of nowhere with him in his strap on vest and KABOOM! He gets to meet Mo in hell and US has one less brain dead wannabe jihadist to bother with. Frikkin’ loser.

If Islam is so great why don’t they immigrate to a Muslim land.
Plenty of work in Dubai at slave labour rates.

“I will go to Syria. I am not wacko…..I want to blow myself up. I want to blow myself up … I am against America.”…
And Mr. Obama snidely remarks during the SOTU that hey, this isn’t WWIII, why is everyone getting so hyper about ISIS???
abad says
Then STAY OUT of the USA.
Move back to Syria where your Islamic Paradise is.

Omar Faraj Saeed AL D…Bag!!!! m
Dave J says
You can call him Al, actually you can call them both Al.
Al “I am not wacko” Hardan just wants to do what the good book tells him – hate America and blow himself up, along with as many random innocent infidels as possible.
The difference between Islam and mental illness is what exactly?
Get a life there Al or Omar or WTF your name is.
Walter Sieruk says
What a deluded and dangerous man this young Muslim Iraqi Is. Its very obvious the he is dangerous, but as for deluded This can be explained, for such a warped and delusional mindset is because he had ,no doubt , taken in hook line and sinker the Koranic story,44:54. 55:56. 78:31., of a doctrine the fiction/fable of a sexual place of the flesh designed to fulfill the lust of the flesh. If and only if he dies fighting in the jihad for the cause of Islam as a “martyr.” First, the Bibles warns against listening to and believing in unfounded religious stories. No matter how enticing those religious stories may be. For the Bible warns against giving “heed to fables…” First Timothy 1:4 Furthermore false teachers of false religions have been predicted ans warned about who indoctrinate others into believing in religious stories about places that desire of the the flesh being fulfilled . Those false teachers seem like the Islamic religious teachers of today, Bin the imams and in some countries such a Afghanistan and Iran ,the mullahs. For the Bible predicted and warns “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;and they shall turn away their ears from the truth ,and shall be turned unto fables.” Second Timothy 4:3,4. Furthermore, of such false teachers the Bible also informs the reader in Second Peter 2:18 that “they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lust to the flesh…” As for this jihadist Muslim , in this above article, he and others jihadists like him in their deluded, Islamic pipe-dream in the Koranic story /doctrine doctrine of a place with virgins, are in great contrast to the Christian who has the reality of Second Peter 1:16. Which reads ” For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ…” [K.J.V.]

Muslim refugee in Texas: “I want to blow myself up…I am against America”
………………………….
Isn’t this how *all* refugees regard the host country that has given them sanctuary? sarc/off
These are not “refugees”–they are an invading Muslim army.
Asian Crusader says
FINALLY, unintentionally, a nugget of truth from the importers of slaves for the Leftist plantation:
“Immigrant advocates say they have full confidence in the vetting process and that tens of thousands of Iraqi refugees have been successfully resettled in the U.S.”
It is definitely true that “immigrant advocates” have “full confidence in the vetting process …”. The “vetting process” is achieving what the cattle importers want – unscreened mass importation of “undocumented” gold.

If America was run by a sane and Islamosavvy government then this person would be tried, and having been convicted, would serve out his sentence in a Muslim-only pen (to prevent Prison Dawa). He would not receive any special treatment whatsoever. No halal food, no Quran, no prayer mat, no contact with an imam, no nuthin. No concessions to Islam.
Then, sentence served, pack him off, back to Iraq; with all identifying particulars circulated to the gatekeepers of *all* Infidel countries, together with instructions to NEVER let anyone answering that description in through the gate ever again.

Why do we send troops overseas to allegedly combat Islamic terrorists whilst we simultaneously allow them to come across our southern border in droves?

Paladin Dropzone asked: ” Why do we send troops overseas to allegedly combat Islamic terrorists whilst we simultaneously allow them to come across our southern border in droves?”
Add to that quire, why do send troops overseas to allegedly combat Islamic “extremist” (aka: devout Muslims–followers of the methodology of Qur’an and sunnah), when here at home, on our bases, and elsewhere, we build, or provide, Islamic centers and prayer centers to accommodate the needs of the said devout?
Why? Because we have men and women in power, decision makers, that bring to fruition the above, who are prime grade, blue ribboned, gold plated damned fools. That is why. In brief.

I am sure the Inman Obama will invite him to the white house. Terrorists like this should be immediately executed.
