This refutes the claim that these jihadis were “radicalized” by our AFDI free speech event and would have been loyal, law-abiding citizens if only we hadn’t “provoked” the poor dears.
“Abdul Malik Abdul Kareem update: Brother of man who pledged allegiance to ISIS testifies in Phoenix,” by Katie Conner, ABC 15, March 2, 2016:
PHOENIX – The brother of a Phoenix man, who pledged allegiance to ISIS, testified Wednesday in Abdul Kareem’s trial.
The FBI says Kareem helped Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi plan their attack at an anti-Mohhammed [sic] event in Garland, Texas.
Simpson and Soofi were killed during the shootout with police. Kareem was arrested about a month later in June.
In court, Nadir Soofi’s younger brother Ali, said he met Kareem when he lived with Nadir in Phoenix.
Ali testified he lived with his brother Nadir and Simpson from 2014-2015. He said Kareem would come over often and he was very vocal about his support for ISIS. Him and his brother, Kareem and Simpson would watch ISIS videos almost every day.
“Him and his brother”? Could ABC 15 find no literate reporters?
Ali recalled one ISIS video in particular, where a man was beheaded. Kareem tried to get Ali to convert back to Islam.
“In general I was an outcast in that group,” said Ali.
Ali moved out in April 2015, about a month before the foiled Texas attack.
Ali testified Simpson would communicate with Mohamed Abdullah Hassan via twitter.
After the Charlie Hebdo attack, his brother, Kareem and Simpson became more extreme.
Hassan, also known online as “Miski” is the Minnesota man, suspected of recruiting impressionable young men for terror groups like ISIS.
Authorities say “Miski” is linked to at least one domestic terror attack in the US….

The trio originally planned to attack the Super Bowl.
Read the following interesting and revealing article:
http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/FBI-3-Men-Plotted-for-Months-Before-Cartoon-Contest-Attack-308377121.html
Quotes: “Three friends from a Phoenix mosque were lighting off fireworks during a New Year’s Eve celebration when authorities say they struck up a conversation about wanting to make pipe bombs.
One week later, militants attacked the offices of satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo in France, and the trio became inspired to carry out an attack of their own, prosecutors say.”
THE MOTIVATION
Islamic State militants attacked the offices of Charlie Hebdo in France on Jan. 7, killing 12 people. (FBI Agent Dina) McCarthy said that event served as inspiration for the three men to re-create a “Western version” of the attack.
At Kareem’s detention hearing, McCarthy described how a witness and a confidential informant learned about Kareem’s interest in the Islamic State, including watching the group’s videos with Texas shooters Simpson and Soofi.
She said Kareem wanted to attack the Super Bowl when it was in Arizona this year, but provided no specifics about how serious he was.
Simpson, previously convicted in a terrorism-related investigation, was already under federal scrutiny for online posts expressing interest in jihad.
All three men attended the same mosque in Phoenix.”
Westman says
Isn’t it amazing how no “lone wolves” terrorists turn out to be lone wolves. There is always someone, usually more than one, who saw it coming in the planning stage and either sympathised or failed to alert authorities. These guys were jihadists looking for the road to Janna, wherever they could find it. The Garland Cartoon Contest was the opportunity, not the cause.

Abdul Kareem’s family and lawyer lied about him being a terrorist…just a nice, hardworking guy! Gee whiz!
Quotes:
“Between 1997 and 2004, Kareem struggled with substance abuse leading to an aggravated assault charge, three DUIs and a four-month jail sentence. Kareem’s brother James Newman said Kareem owned his own moving and carpet-cleaning business and was known to his family as a hardworking man who went out of his way to help others.
“My brother is not a terrorist, he loves the Philadelphia Phillies, he loves cookouts, he loves the red white and blue, just because he’s Islamic doesn’t mean he is an enemy of our country,” Newman said.”
(Kareem’s lawyer) described Kareem as a man who had made mistakes in his past but was not dangerous.
“He is a normal citizen who just happens to believe in a different faith than most of us,” Maynard said.
Oh, right…a normal citizen who watched beheading videos and had tons of ammo and a bullet proof vest and planned to shoot up the Super Bowl.
Sure. We ‘normal citizens’ are all like that.
They are all in denial about the nature of jihad terrorism, because they’ve never read any of Islam’s foundational source texts.

I think we should keep having events like this (draw Mohammed contests) to keep flushing out all the jihadis and we can eliminate them that way! They can’t resist responding to perceived insults to their messenger.
Gungadin says
Most people here in the US have become such PANSIES and reek with such PC attitudes that this would be reprehensible for them to even consider…..As an American armed forces Veteran, I stand by my original statement about the Mohammed drawing contest — that being, we should hold one in every city and state THROUGHOUT the USA…..
Dan Jones says
Come on, everyone knows there are no radical jihadist’s in Garland… They are all in Washington D.C .

The notion that women are commodities for the ownership and use of Muslim men didn’t fly for this girl. Perhaps he learned that his Allah-full-of-error notions are primitive, and then, maybe he didn’t. Hats off to this young lady for her “instruction”.

Garland jihadis were “vocal in their support” of the Islamic State
……………………..
And they loved watching beheading videos, were inspired by the massacre at Charlie Hebdo, and planned to attack the Super Bowl,
How can anyone believe they were just “radicalized” on hearing about the art show in Garland?
SAKOVKT says
Jihad Watch and Atlas Shrugs need to put together a web system like ACT for America.
This sort of thing makes it easy for us prols to “take action” against our Congressional Reps and Senators.
Understand, that we prols work all day.
Our time is limited.
Our Spirit is not.
But You Full Timers need to help us with the Logistics of it all.
ACT for America has it down.
Copy what they do.
I’ll follow through!
So Help ME!
