“A Virginia-born US citizen of a Palestinian father and an Iraqi mother.” How did he get the idea that the Islamic State, which everyone tells us has nothing to do with Islam, was the way to go? Does anyone care about what might be being taught in his mosque in Virginia? Or would that be “Islamophobic”?
“Report: American ISIS Fighter Captured In Iraq,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, March 14, 2016:
An American ISIS fighter has reportedly been captured by Kurdish forces in Iraq and is being held in their custody, according to regional reports and U.S. officials who say they are aware of the situation and are further investigating the details.
Kurdish officials disclosed early Monday that a 27-year-old Virginia resident had been caught sneaking into Iraq, mistaking it for the Turkish border.
Local Kurdish officials told regional news outlets that the man is a U.S. citizen.
“A local commander told Kurdish news outlet Rudaw that the arrested man was 27-year-old Muhammad Jamal Amin,” Russia’s state-controlled RT news outlet reported, citing unnamed Kurdish officials.
Cell phones, money, and ID badges were reportedly seized from the individual, “a Virginia-born US citizen of a Palestinian father and an Iraqi mother,” according to the report.
A senior U.S. military official in the region confirmed to the Washington Free Beacon Monday morning that the reports appear to be accurate and that the individual is in Kurdish custody. The Kurds are handling the situation without U.S. assistance, the source said.
The United States will not yet confirm the individual is a U.S. citizen, but are currently investigating the reports….

It’s noteworthy that a few of Islamist Jihadists who have struck the US or US interests are of Palestinian descent. Major Nidal was the most significant murderer however the parents always present this sob story. Naturally the real sob story the victim and their survivors and/or dependents; we never hear their story. We aren’t presented with thousands of Palestinians living in the US who shooting up the place as if it were Dodge City. So, excuses aren’t going to fly, admitting strong religious beliefs in Islam following Wahhabism will at least make them honest. Does anyone still fathom the dimensions of Saudi Arabia’s plan to build X number of Mosques in the US and how many Muslims this equates too and that State will be covered and necessarily each State? Voters?

So do his parents get investigated? There had to be some outward sign and did they know where he was going? There should be dire consequences for cases like this! Deportation of these parents, and I don’t care if they have been here for 30 years! If they knew what he was up to, and kept quiet they are traitors to our country.

both parents should be put in jail supporting a jihadi person living in their house.

But you know what the parents and families of these people always say, between their sobs, “We had ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA !”

Rip up his citizenship, and disallow right of return.

You Americans need to revamp your citizenship laws. This rock-throwing crunchy shouldn’t be an American citizen just because his supposed father punched his mother in the stomach inside US territory.
You stopped being a British colony over 200 years ago. You have values and culture of your own. You don’t have to grant citizenship to anyone born inside US territory.
