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

Muslim captured coming over southern U.S. border had ties to Taliban

Jun 4, 2016 10:24 am By Robert Spencer

“Homeland Security officials said that man, who is currently in custody, had been ‘involved in a plot to conduct an attack in the U.S. and/or Canada.'” But remember: preventing people from entering the country illegally is un-American!

“Afghan man captured coming over southern U.S. border had ties to Taliban: report,” by Christopher Brennan, New York Daily News, June 3, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

An Afghani man captured after crossing the U.S. border illegally has links to the Taliban, according a report.

The man was taken from the Middle East to a smuggling network based in Brazil before being taken up through Mexico and getting caught by Border Patrol 15 miles into Arizona, documents given to The Washington Times by Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) said.

Homeland Security officials said that man, who is currently in custody, had been “involved in a plot to conduct an attack in the U.S. and/or Canada.”

Hunter, who is most well known for “vaping” in Congress, has sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson declaring his displeasure that the man’s terrorist connections were not initially found.

In November, shortly after the man and five Pakistanis were arrested, security screeners told KSAZ that “record checks revealed no derogatory information about the individuals.”

Hunter’s documents reportedly revealed that the FBI’s Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment listed the Afghan man as having suspect ties.

The incident led to an investigation by the Arizona Attorney General’s Office, which issued a report about possible smuggling routes from the Middle East to Mexico in March.

The report, obtained by KPNX, said that smugglers in Mexico had received dozens of money transfers from the Middle East or from people with Middle Eastern names….

    Bribes? Money transfers? Smugglers? Terrorists? Security failures?

    Without mastering the jihad doctrine and master religion doctrine, police and intelligence will not be able to spot a jihadist.

    Without mastering the master race doctrine and the fuehrer doctrine, Chamberlain wasn’t able to identify Nazism.

    Sadly, I believe it will take another 9/11 to make America realize Islam is a terrorist conspiracy.

      You are correct. Unfortunately many Americans will have to die for anything to happen. Obama, Hillary and co. Never have to worry about their safety. Thousands of dead Americans “what diffetence, does it make? “

    The members of the open borders lobby deserve to be horse whipped in front of their families and have salt and alcohol poured on their open wounds.
    Obama and Paul Ryan should be first and it should be televised.

    I wish these jihadi’s would make their way to Obama, Clinton, Warren and others’ homes and then let’s see if they want to build a wall. I’m afraid, even if these jihadi’s did kill or mame one or all of them, they would still embrace the idea of open borders. Pathetic!!

      Very true! But good American Citizens like us can’t get a wall. Not fair.

    This Is ONE of many incidents but there’s 1 that stands out from all others. Even Robert & Pamela haven’t talked much about it. A year or so ago there was at most 3-4 stories about an IS BASE 8 Miles from the Mexican/American Border. AMexican Field Offier commanded the Base and aided IS. Stories allude to the Base being Militarily out The Base held equipment to properly outfit each fighter they also had heavy & light Machine Guns RPGs so forth most importantly they had detailed internal Maps of 2 American Military Bases. I think it was FTBliss and Ft Hood. The reason why this is
    So important is that the Government quashed all future articles about it and silenced Congressmen amen after an Intel a omitted mee meting on it a year went by and a Congressman spoke up that he was bringing it Public that the Public has a right to know if something is going on I haven’t heard anything since then.

    Muslims hate the United States of America.

    Therefore, they do NOT need to be coming here and they will not be welcomed here to commit more crimes a la 9-11.

    I suggest they stay in their own third-world Muslim nations

    No one is going to care unless a big attack takes place on American soil and it turns out the perpetrator(s) came in via the Mexican border. And if it happens before the Presidential elections, Trump’s sure to win.

    If we put all of the terrorist acts together and imagined they happened all in one day, the American people would see we are at war. Jihadis KNOW this, so they eek out the attacks knowing people forget. Every Muslim coming accross our border illegally should automatically be considered a threat and deported immediately!

      Taliban Muslims coming across the border in regular clothes could be considered illegal combatants and judged more harshly under the rules of war. We have the tools, we just need to imitate the spine shown by our grandparents. Inhanced interrogation followed by when appropriate, execution promptly carried out, will allow for these networks to be effectively checked. This could also provide a warning for those coreligionists who are on the fence, that jihad on The American homeland will not be carried out without cost. Our political leaders need to have the spine to expell and bar from entry Muslims from countries contaminated by Wahabist islam (Pakistan and Saudi Arabia).

    That Obama doesn’t care – is an understatement!

    Just look at those translated Arabic videos from the Middle East and you’ll see they have long spied the Mexican-US border as a route to carry out jihadist attacks in the US.

    These people are just the few they caught.

    Border guards and security services under Obama have been ordered to stand down – on the issue of illegal southern border crossings – even Taliban-Pakistan-Afghan types are classed as the ‘dreamers’.

    Once they get into the US they sit and wait for their orders and then they attack.

    Obama’s possibly leaving a big suspicious package for the American people – once he leaves office.

      Failure to uphold the law is dereliction of duty.
      The Administration betrays tax-paying citizens.

    Just where in the he’ll is that WALL that all of our political leaders keep blabbering about????
    We needed the dam thing at least 40 years ago!
    Untill the WALL is actually up and ELECTRIFIED, machine gun implements every hundred yards or so could discourage many evil doers!

    “…The man was taken from the Middle East to a smuggling network based in Brazil before being taken up through Mexico and getting caught by Border Patrol 15 miles into Arizona…”

    Come on, JW editor(s)! This is hardly a photo depicting Arizona… Manipulated journalism is a LIE! Ask RS himself, presuming he reads this.

    And yet, fools like to sneer at the idea of Jihadists coming in across the southern border.
