Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

SC cops “shocked” Islamic State-inspired Muslim teen gets parole

May 5, 2016 1:32 pm By Robert Spencer

“Apparently someone in Washington decided this wasn’t worth pursuing or it wasn’t in their parameters.”

“This is a person who has threatened law enforcement, threatened military personnel.”

“The teen was ‘wholeheartedly sincere in his beliefs, and we are very concerned for the safety of the community and the country,’ Solicitor Kevin Brackett said at sentencing. ‘He had a plan to randomly shoot American soldiers.’”

What could possibly go wrong, you greasy Islamophobe?

“South Carolina police ‘shocked’ ISIS-inspired teen gets parole,” FoxNews.com, May 5, 2016 (thanks to Maude):

A South Carolina parole board’s decision to grant early release for a teenager who served just one year of a five-year sentence on a gun charge rattled local law enforcement because authorities said the teen was attracted to the Islamic State and plotted to kill U.S. troops in North Carolina.

The 17-year-old was not identified, but apparently benefited from the state’s lack of terrorism laws. The state could only charge him with the weapons crime and no federal charges were reportedly ever sought.

The city of York’s police chief, Andy Robinson, said terror charges could have been leveled by the federal government, but “that bureaucracy is very complicated.”

“Apparently someone in Washington decided this wasn’t worth pursuing or it wasn’t in their parameters,” he said.

Consternation over the parole board’s decision was felt widely by local law enforcement and elected officials. York County Sheriff Bruce Bryant said he was “devastated” that the teen will be released. The teen reportedly laid out plans to live in nearby Charleston with his mother and two sisters.

“This is a person who has threatened law enforcement, threatened military personnel,” he said, according to The State newspaper.

Another law enforcement official told the newspaper that he does not believe the teen’s ideals have changed and local law enforcement will request that the FBI “keep tabs on him, because we don’t have the manpower…or the capability.” The town’s mayor, Eddie Lee, echoed the concern and said he is outraged.

The teenager was identified as an American citizen whose family is from Syria.

The prosecutor charged that the boy was plotting with a Muslim militant from North Carolina to rob a gun store near Raleigh, N.C., with plans of killing soldiers as revenge for U.S. military action in the Middle East.

The teen was “wholeheartedly sincere in his beliefs, and we are very concerned for the safety of the community and the country,” Solicitor Kevin Brackett said at sentencing. “He had a plan to randomly shoot American soldiers.”

Defense lawyer B.J. Barrowclough said the parole board made the right decision. Traumatic life experiences like the death of his father and the mistreatment by a family member contributed to him being led down the wrong path, he reportedly said.

Barrowclough previously said his client didn’t want to hurt anyone in the U.S. Instead, he wanted to fight the regime in Syria that had hurt and killed members of his own family, he said. One of the teen’s lawyers said his client had an exemplary disciplinary record and did all that was asked of him in custody….

        Yup. If the government flat out refuses to protect us, we will protect ourselves. Many thanks to the Founding Fathers for the Second Amendment.

    Another ridiculous court decision that will affect the basic safety of everyone in that community. WHY? When it comes to these savage and barbaric muslims, why should they get a free pass?
    Now you know why the founding fathers of our country wisely chose to garantee our rights to self-defense and to “bear arms”.
    If the people have any backbone at all, they will fight hard to keep these basic rights intact.

    Let’s hope his name is revealed before he commits any other atrocity in the name of Allah, and his photo too. People need to know who this person is. The Judge has completely forgotten that according to Shari’a, this “teen” is a full grown man! Young people have more passion for their causes than any other age. He WILL act again!

    Time for North Carolina legislators urgently to pass an anti-terrorism bill similar to those of other states. Catch up quick! Legislators, do your job.

      —- “Catch up quick! Legislators, do your job.”

      There are many variations on anti-terrorism bills out there.
      Do you have something particular in mind or are you just blowing wind?

    And Islam has nothing to do with Islam. And jihad has nothing to do with murdering dirty kafirs.

    It isn’t a crime against humanity if jihadists do it.

      Muslims belong in a deprogramming cage.

    Just a confused young man, misunderstanding the religion of peace, and trying to get attention to himself. Plus all of his fellow peaceful Muslim inmates vouched for his niceness. Believeth the Judge and a Muslim outreach parole officer. What won’t go wrong.

        It is too late for that. The predictable problem is now loose on the public and those responsible will never admit it and probably won’t be the victim of their irrationality.

    Get ready for this, it’s primarily about the US. Incidentally, “they” will use a Trump victory as an excuse/trigger. “They” will use a Clinton victory (God Forbid!) because “they” can simply ‘get on with it’.

    Have a pillow ready, lest you throw something hard into your screens…

    Don’t circle wagons! Then you have handed over victory. Get onto the streets

      DFD, it has been a reality for me and my family for a loooooong time, this New World Order complex. My grandparents taught us well. Although I never understood the Muslim piece of the puzzle until just a few months ago, I see it now. Soros is an evil evil man, and he surely isn’t the only one! Marc Zuckerburg of Facebook, stands right up there. So many many do!

      It wasn’t until I saw the Islamic role in this World wide dilemma that I realised ALL THE LEFT policies I thought were good were OPENING the door to this horror. It is scary.

        I’m in the same boat linnte. It was the cologne new year’s eve incident that really opened my eyes. Ever since, I have been trying to talk to my fellow liberals (I consider myself a leftist liberal, you could even call me a socialist) about the dangers of islam. Mostly, I have found they simply dismiss me as a crazy person. I can see by the look in their eyes that they will never believe that islam is anything other than just another religion. But I remain undeterred. We have facts and reason on our side. I have to believe that will win out in the end.

        • linnte says

          May 6, 2016 at 3:17 am

          Yup. I haven’t taken the time to add up how many friends I’ve lost cuz I might cry hahahahhaha! One close friend I had for 40 years. That’s almost a lifetime! But, I am in this for the long haul. The more I learn about Islam, the more I see how deluded I was being a “Liberal”. The libs have become the fascists! Good luck to you on your journey, my friend. It gets easier the more we learn what’s at stake!

    “Apparently someone in Washington decided this wasn’t worth pursuing or it wasn’t in their parameters,” he said.

    Find out who that person was. Let the public know. Let him/her be flooded with requests to justify that decision.

    Defense lawyer B.J. Barrowclough said the parole board made the right decision. Traumatic life experiences like the death of his father and the mistreatment by a family member contributed to him being led down the wrong path, he reportedly said.

    How many non-muslims whose father died and were mistreated by family members joined ISIS? How many muslims whose father died and were mistreated by family members joined ISIS? Because I have the feeling that the death and mistreatment were not the deciding factors…

    SC cops “shocked” Islamic State-inspired Muslim teen gets parole
    …………………….

    Well, I’m disgusted. Sadly, I can’t really be shocked at this point, though.

  10. GWOT says

    May 5, 2016 at 10:31 pm

    Sounds fishy to me, like maybe the FBI didn’t have much of a case on this guy to start with. If the kid is such a big threat, the locals could have easily charged him without using a terrorism statute. If he was actually plotting a murder, that’s a conspiracy to commit murder. Period. I would be willing to bet that’s illegal in SC. Maybe instead of wringing their hands and whining, these hick cops should bust out an affidavit, charge the kid with a felony, and shut the Hell up. The War on Terror requires balls; sounds like the cops down there are a little short in that department. Sad…

  11. UNCLE VLADDI says

    So, he somehow “apparently benefited from the state’s lack of terrorism laws” did he?

    “Terrorism” is only extortion – which is already a crime.

    It matters not that the “muslim” extortionists’ # 1 alibi to excuse their crimes is

    “God told us to commit these crimes!”

    That excuse wouldn’t fly for any other crime-gang on the planet, but because of Saudomite bribes and the threat of being personally jihaded (not to mention risking losing one’s pension, perks, power and position due to charges of “racism”) the treasonous cowardly scum who pretend to be in charge of law enforcement will happily and invariably ignore the islamic threat each and every time!

    bureaucracy is very complicated

    People are complicated. Except Moslem people. They’re simple. It has always been that the simple people will enslave and murder the complicated people, so let’s get on with it.

    This feels like good time to say: if they didn’t want US military in the Middle East they should not have destroyed the Twin Towers!
