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

Muslim former National Guardsman plotted jihad massacre for Islamic State

Jul 5, 2016 8:14 pm By Robert Spencer

He was in the Army National Guard. While in it, Islamic apologists and their allies would have pointed to him as an indication that Muslims can be as patriotic as anyone else, and any scrutiny of Muslims in the military was unwarranted and “Islamophobic.” In contrast, a realistic appraisal of the situation would call for some screening of Muslims in the military. But even when Fort Hood jihad mass murderer Nidal Malik Hasan was communicating with jihad mastermind Anwar al-Awlaki, the feds declined to move against him; it would have been “Islamophobic.”

Mohamed Bailor Jalloh

“Former National Guardsman accused of plotting attack to support ISIS,” by Rachel Weiner and Joe Heim, Washington Post, July 5, 2016:

A former member of the Army National Guard living in Sterling, Va., is accused of trying to plan a domestic terrorist attack on behalf of the Islamic State.

Mohamad Bailor Jalloh was arrested Sunday and charged with attempting to provide material support to the terrorist organization, according to papers filed in federal court in the Eastern District of Virginia.

Jalloh, a native of Sierra Leone, is a U.S. citizen. He quit the National Guard after listening to the lectures of deceased radical Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, according to court documents, and became involved in planning a terrorist attack on U.S. soil.

Moved to look up Awlaki’s lectures online after hearing the cleric referred to in the news media as a “hate preacher,” Jalloh found himself persuaded to take violent action, according to court papers.

Jalloh later said he would like to carry out an attack in the style of Nidal Hasan, who killed 13 people in a 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Tex., according to the affidavit filed in federal court. He also praised Mohammad Youssef Abdulazee, who killed five U.S. service members in Chattanooga, Tenn., last year. And Jalloh at one point suggested that someone known for organizing contests for cartoons of the prophet Muhammad would make a good target.

“You have to pick a action and take it cuz time is not on your side,” he wrote to an ally, according to the affidavit.

Jalloh appeared briefly in court on Tuesday. A slim but muscular young man with a small beard, he spoke softly, saying only “Yes, sir” when asked if he had agreed to a delay in his detention hearing.

Defense attorney Ashraf Nubani said he could not comment on the case at this time. In court, he said “We don’t expect bond to be granted in this case. . .but he deserves a fair chance.”

Prosecutor John T. Gibbs said Jalloh was arrested Sunday morning.

Jalloh purchased a Glock handgun in February but was unsuccessful in trying to buy an assault rifle in Charlotte, N.C., last month, according to the documents.

While under FBI surveillance on July 1, Jalloh visited Blue Ridge Arsenal, a gun store and indoor target range in Chantilly, Va. He attempted to purchase a Bushmaster AR-15 but did not have the required three forms of identification, court papers said. He told staffers he would return the next day.

“As soon as he walked out the door, the FBI came in,” said Earl Curtis, the store’s owner, in an interview Tuesday. The FBI collected security camera footage and asked about Jalloh.

FBI agents informed the store’s manager that when Jalloh returned, the store should sell him a gun, but make it inoperable before he took ownership, said Curtis.

“They wanted to catch him in the act, so they said to go through with the purchase,” Curtis said. The store’s owner said Jalloh returned that evening and bought a different assault rifle for about $1,200. He test-fired the weapon at the range, after which an employee took the gun in the back and disabled it before returning it to Jalloh….

    I’ve got a new Mossberg MVP carbine in 5.56 caliber that I need to site in. I’m wondering if this clown would hold still long enough for me to get my scope right?

    A Muslim can never be trusted. This is the bottom line – if you follow this you will never be sorry!

    I repeat and repeat: As long as they read the Qur’an and follow the pedophile teaching , they all, are potential terrorists.

    The Democrats are going nuts – organizing sit ins on the House floor – when the problem with keeping guns out of the hands of suspected terrorists can be solved right at its source – the gun shop.

    With Omar Mateen – the gun shop owner said he was asking for sophisticated body armor and tons of ammunition – and was so concerned he called local law enforcement or the FBI. However on Obama’s watch no one is really in a hurry to offend anything to do with Islam – and urgency took second place.

    [For example, if the suspect doesn’t return to the same store – put out an alert to all the stores in the area.]

    Even in the SB shooting case – the Hispanic guy said he got the gun – for the terror attack they planned – but never carried out together – because it would not raise suspicions.

    ::

    This guys story sounds like baloney – he listened to a few recordings and presto – he was ‘radicalized’. He may be trying to keep his mosque out of the picture. Looks a bit like misdirection there.

    Everyone wants to die as a martyr – and take out a few people besides!

    Donald Trump is the only senior politician in the ‘Western World’ who has the courage to tell the truth about our Islamic ‘friends’ . To the trendy lefties, I suggest you spend some time in the backyards of places like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Somalia ( a real treat…,) and Nigeria – to mention just a few. Have a close look at the status of the female population and perhaps attend a number of beheadings (especially the children.) The crucifixions are also noted for attracting large audiences, as are the stonings. It really is something of a smorgasbord of horror (if that’s your thing.) Enjoy the one way trip folks.

    “Fair chance”? He’s not being judged for treason, is he? Any more slack and they’d make The Dude look like The Man…

    no one is good . they have the jihad in their mind.
    They want everyone to be Muslim and the world be legislated by Islamic law . All of then want it , moderates and radicals ones .. all of them , no one is good . There is not european islam or american islam ..
    typical cheating and lying , they say that Islam is different in France, Germany .. which is not the same as in egypt , somalia, Morocco … lie. Islam is only one. I
    Islam is a tool to conquer the world. Create slave societies which in turn enslaves

    “of the prophet Muhammad”

    Do “journalists” ever use the term “the prophet Jesus” or such?

    As the above article informs the reader about that former National Guardsman that “Muslim apologists and their allies would have pointed to him as an indication the Muslims can be a patriotic and anyone else…” The reality indicates just the opposite . This former National Guardsman with his Islamic scheming with murderous intentions of the jihad is an example in an Islamic American who is actually very traitorous.
    In addition to all this the Bible in describing evil men gives of the awful things they do . One of the things on that list is they those wicked men are “Traitors.” Second Timothy 3:4. [KJV}

    Jalloh. a huge family; most live on the grassy plains of the African interior. probably number over 1 million NETWORKED, clan to clan; everyone is accounted for and responsible to the clan elders – wherever they are. most of the small boys assist in family businesses. wealthy and powerful is this family. and they make a point to inform themselves about the people they come to live among

    there are more smallboys like this man, who “need” to become more muslim (enslaved by SHRIA, which is an enslavement tool) and less Western. make their mark so to speak, as long as it is pleasing to the allah god of islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers)

    we will see more of them, now that the reform movement, the purification effort, is ongoing. they have many ways to move to the front of lines and be placed strategically for the business they do. information gathering is a specialty.
