“Blair and Booker shared extremist views in support of Islamic State and against the U.S. military.” Where did Blair and Booker learn about Islam? Are their teachers still at large? Or are authorities contenting themselves with saying “they were radicalized on the Internet” and have no intention of checking on how prevalent the views of Blair and Booker are among area Muslims?
“Kansas man pleads guilty to helping with foiled bomb plot at U.S. base,” Reuters, May 23, 2016 (thanks to Lookmann):
A man accused of assisting in a foiled bomb plot at a Kansas military base as part of what prosecutors said was an attempt to demonstrate support of the Islamic State militant group pleaded guilty on Monday to conspiracy.
Alexander Blair, 30, of Topeka, Kansas, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy for helping his friend, John Booker Jr., store equipment to make a bomb to kill American service members, prosecutors said in a statement.
According to court documents, Blair admitted to lending Booker $100 for a storage unit to hold components for a bomb that he knew Booker planned to detonate at the Fort Riley military base, about 60 miles from Topeka….
Booker, 21, made statements on Facebook and to FBI agents that he wanted to join Islamic State and kill people and was willing to die in the process, the documents said. He was arrested on April 10 in a sting operation in which he went to Fort Riley with two undercover FBI agents to detonate what he did not know was an inert bomb, prosecutors have said.
Booker pleaded guilty to one count each of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting to destroy government property with an explosive, according to court documents. He is awaiting sentencing, but has agreed to spend 30 years in prison in the plea deal.
According to court documents, Blair and Booker shared extremist views in support of Islamic State and against the U.S. military.
After Booker was arrested, FBI agents questioned Blair, who admitted lending Booker the money and said he knew about his plans. He said he had not called police because he thought they were already under surveillance and would be eventually stopped….

Did he read the Koran? Did he read the Sira? Hadiths? Sayyid Qutb? Muhammad Faraj? Listen to sermons by Anwar Awlaki?
Do any of our intelligence agency geniuses have a clear understanding of the jihad theory? Do they realize that the jihad theory comes from Mohammed?
65% of Muslims worldwide want a caliphate and Sharia law, just like Alexander Blair. Is anyone hearing alarm bells?
Bob says
I’m wondering how many of these ‘converts’ to Islam ever actually read the ‘holy’ koran, or are some of them just born thugs who’ve found an – to them – acceptable outlet for their thuggery??
Shane says
Islam has great appeal to rapists, murderers, and pedophiles as so many infidels are out there who are approved targets for their violence and perversions in Western countries. 98% of Americans are approved for violence against them because they are infidels of the Great Satan. For Muslims, anything goes in the jihad against the Great Satan and the Little Satan, Israel.
Walter Sieruk says
As for those converts to Islam ,Blair and Booker, with their insidious Islamic scheming to engage a murderous jihad attack.. This exposes two things for all who are willing to see the truth. First, this shows the wicked ,demonic and deadly effect and outcome of men converting to no-watered down hard core Islam with all the cruel, violent and murdering instruction for the jihad that is contained in the Koran. As found in ,for example 4:89; 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. Jesus did teach “By their fruit you will recognize them.” Matthew 7:20. [N.I.V.] Second, Blair and Booker with their Islamic mindset might ,indeed ,be sincere and thus have “good intentions” in their jihad- minded way of thinking. So this also exposes the total falsehood ,folly and complete nonsense of the saying “It doesn’t matter what you believe as long as your sincere.” In great contrast to that foolish saying is the true saying. Which is that “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”
CrossWare says
Why anyone is surprised when a violent sociopath converts to Islam. It’s a CULT invented exactly for these type of people to justify their behavior. Anybody still wondering why the Elite loves Islam?
Angemon says
Mind-numbingly stupid excuse that raises more questions than it answers.
Michael Johnson says
Now this but understands Islam and its agenda why can’t the Western leaders do the same

I’m sure reporters would have no qualms about secretly video taping and recording in Churches and Synagogues if they thought conspiracies were taking place but a Mosque forget it, off limits.

Send them both over to the Middle East, they will not survive.
