Yet another convert to Islam gets the idea that his new religion mandates that he murder Infidels. If converts to Christianity in large numbers were getting the idea that they should kill for Christ, authorities would investigate the entire phenomenon of conversion. But about this, no one cares.
“Prosecutors: Islamic State Inspired N. Carolina Man’s Plan,” by Jonathan Drew, Associated Press, February 1, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A North Carolina man killed his neighbor and stole the man’s money so he could buy an assault rifle to carry out an Islamic State-inspired shooting at a concert or club, according to an indictment unsealed Monday.
The federal indictment also accuses Justin Nojan Sullivan of offering an undercover FBI employee money to kill his parents, who he believed would interfere with his plans for an attack.
The 19-year-old suspect, who was arrested in June, “planned to carry out his attack in the following few days at a concert, bar or club where he believed that as many as 1,000 people could be killed using the assault rifle and silencer,” the indictment said.
The indictment charges Sullivan with attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State and trying to use social media to have his parents killed. He also faces firearms charges.
A grand jury in Burke County also indicted Sullivan on Monday on a murder charge in the death of 74-year-old John Bailey Clark, who lived a few doors down from him, said District Attorney David Learner.
A lawyer representing him on the murder charge, Victoria Jayne, said “it’s far too early” to discuss how she expects the case to go. A defense attorney in the federal case declined to comment.
Sullivan, who lived with his parents in Morganton, a foothills town of about 17,000, converted to Islam and was watching videos of Islamic State beheadings by the fall of 2014, the indictment said. Authorities said he pledged his allegiance to the terror group.
In December 2014, he used a .22-caliber rifle stolen from his father’s gun cabinet to shoot Clark in the head, according to the federal indictment. A news release said forensic testing shows the rifle was used to kill Clark.
Sullivan hid the rifle, a black ski mask, muddy clothes and a lock-picking kit in his parents’ crawlspace, investigators wrote in the indictment, adding that he later told FBI agents that $689 in his possession had come from Clark. He believed the money was enough to buy a rifle and ammunition for the attack, the indictment said.
By the following June, investigators said, he was planning an attack in the U.S. He began having social media conversations with an undercover FBI employee whom he wanted to recruit, saying an attack in the U.S. was the best way to support the Islamic State because travel was risky.
He said during one of the conversations that he planned to buy “an AR-15 assault rifle” at a gun show, and he attempted to buy hollow point ammunition from a gun dealer, the indictment said. He researched how to make silencers and asked the undercover operative to make one for each of them.
“Our attacks need to be as big as possible,” Sullivan is quoted as telling the person.
The FBI then sent a silencer to his home, where investigators say his mother opened the package.
“When Sullivan’s parents questioned him about the silencer, Sullivan, believing that his parents would interfere with his plans to carry out an attack, offered to compensate the UCE to kill them,” authorities wrote, referring to the undercover FBI employee.
Federal authorities have said they began investigating Sullivan after his father called 911 in April saying his son was destroying religious items in their home. He was arrested at the family’s home without incident on June 19, and later told investigators that he planned to carry out an attack in the coming days when his parents were expected to be out of town, investigators have said….

19; 18 when destroyed religious items; Caucasian- when and where did he convert?
Next-after the parents called 911 IN APRIL- WHY WAS HE NOT ARRESTED UNTIL JUNE???
Why didn’t his parents throw him the hell out when he destroyed the religious items?
And-attorney-“doesn’t know where murder trial will go”. I know where it should lead—execution. (Or, killed while incarcerated-either would work–my view).
no appeals.
But a town of 17,000 – this is a good question–where did he become Muslim and radical?

But a town of 17,000 – this is a good question–where did he become Muslim and radical?
A VERY GOOD QUESTION.
Thats one place they will never check out.
Its amazing how Converts can become Zombies and do insane things like this!
This is one very amazing thing about human brains- how they get overwritten like a computer virus and into automatons for outrageously silly god ideas.Especially in 21rst century and in advanced countries like America.
How exactly a culturally dissimilar god idea can persuade people to suspend their reason and carry out plainly insane actions is really amazing.
PRCS says
My two cents.
Radical?
Do you men devout, pious, literalist, etc.?
Mark DeFord Eletion says
“How exactly a culturally dissimilar god idea can persuade people to suspend their reason and carry out plainly insane actions is really amazing.”
It is indeed. I think it may be due to a genetic instinct for self-preservation that helps to prevent an individual from being ostracized, tortured or killed by whomever the person thinks is an authority with power over him.
Due to threats, often combined with confusion, people tend to self-hypnotize. Typically it happens without a person realizing what they are doing. If the self-hypnosis is successful, it results in self-delusion. It happens to most people who are pressured under threat to accept a narrative they don’t understand and may not agree with. Almost everyone has been through the process, especially if their family is religious.
In trying to increase my understanding of my fellow humans, my personal view of them is summed up as “People are full of crap”. So am I at times, so don’t take this as an authoritative view.

To Oliver, who asks “But a town of 17,000 – this is a good question–where did he become Muslim and radical?:
Social aps and the internet? He was probably a pretty feeble socializer anyway. I reckon he found fellowship in the recruitment-oriented IS blogs or facebook pages.
Cheers!

Folks, I’m afraid the idea that this murderous Jihadi “revert” had to go to online sources because he lived in a small town in North Carolina is not correct.
Little Morganton *has* a Mosque–the Islamic Center of Morgonton:
http://www.morgantonmosque.org/
“Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatahu.
Welcome to the Islamic Center of Morganton.
We are the first mosque in Burke County located in the city of Morganton, North Carolina.
We have regular Friday Prayer and other activities which are family oriented.
Insha- Allah please contact us for further information.”
“Family oriented”–unless the family in question are ‘filthy Infidels’ with non-Islamic religious articles in their home who might be alarmed by their son showing signs of waging violent Jihad.
Will the feds investigate this Mosque? Don’t count on it…

Thanks for the info.
‘ appreciate it.

Thanks , laugh out LOUD!:)

Thanks, Jayke–I was wondering about this Muslim name, as well.
The sobriquet he chose for himself means the Jihadist who kills and is killed for Allah.
Oliver says
Perhaps a good patriot will kill him, or give him the means to commit suicidie, while in prison-hopefully befoire the sob sisters cry a river for the “poor boy”.
By the way-point of trivia- “sob sisters” goes back at least 80-100 years. I saw the term (had heard it for years growing up) a few years ago, reading books by ERLE STANLEY GARDNER ( CREATOR OF PERRY MASON), in books and stories that he wrote BEFORE creating Perry Mason -stories written in the 1920’s and a little earlier.
And they are (unfortunately) still around.
Darryl Kerney says
how odd that some psychopaths grasp islam so easily, and understand it’s real message is to slaughter infidels for allah, and those with more grandiose sociopathology try to stop those who have taken the time to find out that if islam isn’t stopped we’re in very big trouble.
Angemon says
Is that what he still calls himself? I doubt it…
Hope says
Cue the Obama lap-dog spokesman: This incident has nothing to do with Islam. The president is reminding all Americans of the need for tighter gun control laws, and the need to improve our mental health system. Yadda yadda yadda.
Michael Casmer says
and where would he obtain an assault rifle anyway? Hasn’t Obummer banned them?
Bezelel says
barrachktooey hussein obola zika will have him over to the White House. Too young for a beer summit with the FBI agent who acted stupidly. And of course, Were there any flags involved? Anything but a koran, cause this has nothing to do with islam.
Matthieu Baudin says
“…If converts to Christianity in large numbers were getting the idea that they should kill for Christ, authorities would investigate the entire phenomenon of conversion…”
That’s right; we’re living in an age of double standards, double speak from forked tongues and glaring inconsistencies. The sooner it’s admitted that there’s a problem with Islamic teachings the sooner we can somehow climb out of this deep pit into which we’ve fallen.
quotha raven says
To Matthieu B – “…the sooner we can somehow climb out of this deep pit into which we’ve fallen.”
With all due respect, Matthieu, I don’t feel as though I’ve “fallen”…I feel as though I’ve been pushed by those in authority, those who have control.
Cheers!

Justin Nojan Sullivan apparently understood his Islamic duty to despise his Christian parents and so he began destroying their Christian symbols and plotting their death so they would not turn him over to the authorities.
Justin Nojan Sullivan apparently knew the sources of the doctrine of Islamic apartheid (Al Walaa wal Baraa – association and disassociation). He knew is was un-Islamic to love or support his parents in any way:
Koran 28:86 “Do not support the kafireen in any way.”
Koran 5.51 “He amongst you who turns to them (for friendship) is of them.”
Koran 40:35 “They who dispute the signs (verses) of Allah without authority having reached them are greatly hated by Allah and the believers.” (Note: not just “hated”, but “greatly hated”.)
Koran 48:29: “Muhammad is God’s apostle. Those who follow him are violent to the unbelievers, but compassionate to one another.”
Koran 4: 101 “The kuffar are for you a clear enemy.”
Koran 8:60 “Terrorize the enemy of Allah and your enemy”
Koran 60:4 “We have rejected you, and there has arisen between us and you enmity and hatred, until you believe and worship Allaah alone.”
Koran 3: 118 “O you who believe! Do not take into your intimacy those outside your ranks. They will not fail to corrupt you.”
Justin Sullivan’s bigoted hatred of his Christian parents was normative Islam, rather than an aberration.

Kill him and bury or burn him with pig offal. On second thoughts,
“stake” him and burn him alive with pig offal.
salim says
I have been saying this for years: Converts suddenly develop criminal tendencies. They suddenly reject any form of cultural pleasure (music, films, arts), become anti social and kill to name only a few. Converting to Islam ( or becoming religious if already a muslim) is a serious psychiatric disorder, therefore should be treated as such (ie banned)
steve says
Drugs and kookran and hypnotic suggestion plus teenage angst is the new cult rock and roll! Another sucker! Stanford studemt experiments years ago showed how easily this can happen.
steve says
Clarifying my reply if it seems a bit confusing is that the stanford experiments showed how easily one person can be convinced to harm another person based on the circumstances and acceptance of authority and learner roles. In other words, this kid in my opinion was probably like a lot of teenagers going through the angst of growing up, doing some drugs, reading the kookran and through that combination convinced to harm others. That is a major reason some of the input into our heads must be balanced with reason and wellbeing for ourselves. Bottom line is he should still be punished because choice is always involved at some point.
Richard says
What puzzles me is why did he convert? What made him? What attracted him to Islam? Absence of counter propaganda to Islamic propaganda? Mental illness? A propensity to violence? A bad family life? Absence of love in his family?
Dave says
This guy is white, I am white, yet if I oppose Islam I am a racist… What race is Islam again? Ben Carson opposes Islam, is he a racist?… I get so confused, back to re-education camp for me…

Did he attend a mosque and if so is it under investigation?

Thats what happens from too much nose picking and quentin tarantino movies mixed with calls to hate – i mean prayer- down the street at the local mosque god willing on their part.
