Nicholas Young was a convert to Islam. Once again we see a convert to Islam get the idea that treason and mass murder are demanded by his new religion. Yet authorities remain resolutely uninterested in this phenomenon, no matter how often it happens.
“DC Metro Transit police officer charged with aiding ISIS,” by Matthew Dean, Fox News, August 3, 2016:
A Washington, D.C., Metro Transit police officer who was a convert to Islam and once dressed up as Jihadi John for Halloween was charged on Wednesday with trying to provide material support to ISIS — the first time a law enforcement officer has been charged with an ISIS-related crime.
Virginia resident Nicholas Young, 36, who has served with the department since 2003, was arrested Wednesday morning by FBI agents.
Authorities allege in a criminal complaint unsealed Wednesday that Young attempted to send money to ISIS through a mobile-based gift card using an unnamed messaging service the terror group utilizes for recruiting purposes. The transaction, which was redeemed by the FBI for $245, was made in July 2016.
Despite Wednesday’s arrest, the Department of Justice said there was never any threat to the public or a plot by Young to target the public transit system he was hired to protect.
Court documents paint the story of an individual with ties to suspicious individuals and with terrorist aspirations abroad.
The criminal complaint connects Young to two convicted Washington, DC-area terrorist sympathizers, Zachary Chesser and Amine El Khalifi.
Chesser was sentenced in federal court in 2011 to 25 years in prison for aiding Al Qaeda affiliate Al Shabaab. Chesser is known for threatening the creators of South Park for the show’s depiction of the prophet Mohamed. Khalifi was arrested in 2012 for attempting to detonate an explosive vest in the U.S. Capitol Building.
Court document show federal investigators also questioned Young about trips he had taken to Libya in 2011. Young told FBI agents during an interview that he traveled twice to the North African nation to assist rebels attempting to overthrow the regime of then-dictator Muammar Qaddafi.
A baggage search by Customs and Border Protection on one of Young’s outbound trips revealed he had traveled with body armor, a Kevlar helmet, and “several other military-style items,” according to the criminal complaint.
Young is also alleged to have been in possession of a large cache of firearms, including numerous rifles and handguns at his home.
His alleged terrorist leanings came into the spotlight in 2015 when he admitted to interviewers at the Metro Transit Police Department that he dressed up as Jihadi John for Halloween in 2014. According to the criminal complaint, as part of his costume “Young stuffed an orange jumpsuit with paper to portray a headless hostage, and he carried that around with him through the party.”…

Obama administration’s plan was to show these creeps videos of Jihadi John beheading captives to (DISCOURAGE) them aiding ISIS.

Would he have been caught if the agents assigned to his case were fellow muslims?

You see, as a convert (read–revert) to Islam he’s a home grown terrorist.
And, didja know: he used to torture small animals as a child.
Stand by for the “mentally disturbed” meme.

Funny, the BBC didn’t say he was a muslim convert. It’s not like the reliable, factual BBC to miss out an important thing like that.
P.S. The editor was probably delighted at not having to change the perpetrator’s name for this story, like they did with Munich’s Ali “Dave!” Sonboly.
Walter Sieruk says
If this transit police officer is actually guilty as charged in supplying weapons to ISIS then he is a awful person as well as a traitor to America. Regardless of how he may happens to feel about himself. If he really feels that he is doing the right in aiding ISIS, then the more fool him. A fool he really is for being to twisted and terrible in this Islamic way of thinking as to feel that of support ISIS is something “good” and not supporting a brutal and deadly jihad entity as something that is “evil.’ For the Bible teaches “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil.” Isaiah 5:20. [N.I.V.] To reiterate, he is an awful, traitorous twisted and terrible Islamic fool.

Spencer stated, “Once again we see a convert to Islam get the idea that treason and mass murder are demanded by his new religion.”
Indeed, indeed.
And why is that so—as of course, I know, Spencer knows, as does the loins share of regulars at Jihad Watch?
Answer: because that precisely is what “Allah’s Book” in no uncertain terms calls for, spells out, provides example after example of as sunnah of Allah, now the duty of the ummah to practice as fitting and deliver, respectively.

DID ISLAM SPREAD BY FORCE, SWORDS OR GUNS?
The unequivocal and emphatic answer is NO! The Quran declares:
"Let there be no compulsion (or coercion) in the religion (Islam). The right direction is distinctly clear
from error." [Noble Quran 2:256]
Here is a good study of the question of the spread of Islam by a Christian missionary, T. W. Arnold:
"…of any organized attempt to force the acceptance of Islam on the non-Muslim population, or of any
systematic persecution intended to stamp out the Christian religion, we hear nothing. Had the caliphs
chosen to adopt either course of action, they might have swept away Christianity as easily as
Ferdinand and Isabella drove Islam out of Spain, or Louis XIV made Protestantism penal in France, or
the Jews were kept out of England for 350 years. The Eastern Churches in Asia were entirely cut off
from communion with the rest of Christiandom throughout which no one would have been found to lift
a finger on their behalf, as heretical communions. So that the very survival of these Churches to the
present day is a strong proof of the generally tolerant attitude of Mohammedan [sic] governments
towards them" [Arnold, Sir Thomas W. THE PREACHING OF ISLAM, A HISTORY OF THE
PROPAGATION OF THE MUSLIM FAITH, Westminister A. Constable & Co., London, 1896, p. 80.
]
Islam does not teach, nor do Muslims desire, conversion of any people for fear, greed, marriage or
any other form of coercion.
In conclusion, jihad in Islam is STRIVING IN THE WAY OF ALLAH by pen, tongue, hand, media and,
if inevitable, with arms. However, jihad in Islam does not include striving for individual or national
power, dominance, glory, wealth, prestige or pride.

“Christian missionary”? Funny way to describe someone who wrote a book praising islam at the insistence of a muslim leader…
““…of any organized attempt to force the acceptance of Islam on the non-Muslim population”
How are the Christian, Jewish, Zoroastrian, etc., communities that predated islam by millennia faring in islamic countries? Oh, yeah – persecution, discrimination, etc.
“Ferdinand and Isabella drove Islam out of Spain”
How did islam entered Spain to begin with? That’s right – military invasion.
You want a quote from a Christian on islam? Fine – here’s what Manuel II Palaiologos had to say:
“Islam does not teach, nor do Muslims desire, conversion of any people for fear, greed, marriage or
any other form of coercion.”
quran 9:28-32
9:28—O ye who believe! Truly the Pagans are unclean; so let them not, after this year of theirs, approach the Sacred Mosque. And if ye fear poverty, soon will Allah enrich you, if He wills, out of His bounty, for Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
9:29—Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, from among the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
9:30—The Jews call Uzair a son of God, and the Christians call Christ the son of God. That is a saying from their mouth; (In this) they but imitate what the Unbelievers of old used to say. Allah’s curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!
9:31—They take their priests and their anchorites to be their lords in derogation of Allah, and (they take as their Lord) Christ, the son of Mary; yet they were commanded to worship but One God: there is no god but He. Praise and glory to Him: (Far is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him).
9:32—Fain would they extinguish Allah’s Light with their mouths, but Allah will not allow but that His Light should be perfected, even though the Unbelievers may detest (it).
Qur’an 9:33—It is He Who hath sent His Messenger with Guidance and the Religion of Truth, to prevail it over all religion, even though the Pagans may detest (it).
9.28 tells muslims not to let pagans enter the sacred mosque, their local of pilgrimage. Pilgrimage was a very important source of income to the Meccans, so they would lose quite a chunk of money. How did muhammad solved that? Enter 9:29 – fight the Jews and Christians until they convert (in which case they’d pay zakat), agree to become dhimmies (and pay jyzia) or die (where muslims would take their possessions, women and children as war booty). 9:30-32 justifies the order to fight Jews and Christians with their religion – it claims that Jews and Christians are polytheists and so fighting them it justified.

Sham, not a bad job of copying an article posted on the Internet. You would have been awarded an “excellence” rating in your 100% plagiarism of the entire article if you had not removed footnote 8 — “[8]” –, only to replace it with the actual information provided in the footnote (author, book title, publisher, page number). Oh, yes, there was that small deletion at the end of the article . . . the author’s name. As usual, you failed to identify the URL source of your comment. So, let me help you out there:
Title of Article:
“DID ISLAM SPREAD BY FORCE, SWORDS OR GUNS?”
Author of Article:
— M. Amir Ali, Ph.D.
URL Link to Article:

My point, Sham, is this: Did you read Angemon’s reply to your post? His response to you is irrefutable, as confirmed by the unabrogated words of Allah quoted directly from the Qur’an. Obviously, Allah — “the Greatest of Deceivers” — has created quite a dilemma for you. Which words of Allah do you accept as valid and which words of Allah do you discard as invalid? You cannot have it both ways; so take your time. After all, Allah is watching, and Allah does not like it when anyone other than Himself or Muhammad changes his words.

This is, of course, an abrogated verse. The “Prophet” Muhammed himself said, “I have been made victorious with terror”. Islam was spread by the sword all over the Middle East, North Africa, Persia, India, and parts of Europe.
