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

NC Muslim planned jihad massacres for the Islamic State in NC and Virginia

Nov 30, 2016 3:43 pm By Robert Spencer

“I liked IS from the beginning then I started thinking about death and stuff so I became Muslim…I’ll kill people this month,” he said, and he did. But authorities remain resolutely uninterested in exploring the question of why so many converts to Islam turn to treason, violence, and terrorism.

“20-year-old says he planned ISIS terror attacks in Virginia, North Carolina,” by Rachel Weiner, Washington Post, November 29, 2016:

Justin Sullivan plotted to kill hundreds of people in North Carolina and Virginia on behalf of the Islamic State and wanted a silencer for a gun. So he had one built from a flashlight and delivered to the Morganton, N.C., house he shared with his parents. When his parents asked what he planned to do with it, he tried to have them killed.

The person he offered to pay to kill his parents and who sent him the silencer was an undercover FBI employee. Sullivan, 20, admitted his plot on Tuesday, pleading guilty in federal court in North Carolina to attempting to commit acts of terrorism.

According to court documents, Sullivan began watching videos of Islamic State beheadings and other atrocities on his laptop in September 2014.

He converted to Islam, announced his support for the Islamic State to his parents and destroyed some of their religious objects.

“I liked IS from the beginning then I started thinking about death and stuff so I became Muslim,” he later told the FBI employee, the indictment in the case said.

By June 2015, Sullivan had made contact with Junaid Hussain, an Islamic State recruiter who was reported killed in a drone strike in Syria two months later. A British hacker-turned-militant, Hussain encouraged several attempted terrorist attacks in the United States. A Kosovo-based hacker passed along personal information about U.S. military personnel to Hussain.

According to authorities, Hussain asked Sullivan to film a video of his deadly attack for use by the Islamic State.

Sullivan agreed. “I’ll kill people this month,” he told the FBI agent on June 7, 2015. Sullivan said he would carry out his attack in a bar, club or concert, where he hoped to kill as many as 1,000 people. Court documents do not say if he identified a specific target.

Sullivan is also suspected of killing a 74-year-old neighbor, John Bailey Clark, to get enough money to finance his terrorist attack, authorities said. They said Sullivan admitted that he stole a .22-caliber rifle from his stepfather’s gun cabinet.

Forensic testing linked the rifle to Clark’s death….

    Justin Sullivan: “I started thinking about death and stuff, so I became Muslim”.

    That sounds about right.

    Death and islam usually walk hand-in-hand.

      Double digit IQ no doubt. Starting with a 7 or maybe 8.

      This kid made a u-turn on his and his parents lives seemingly on a lark. And likely is his senior citizen neighbor’s killer. He belongs in a mental institution forever.

      HIPS, if he is so in love with death and stuff, may I suggest we give him the death penalty !! That should quell his love for death. He killed a elderly neighbor, and planned to kill more!!! Sounds to be a death sentence is appropriate. The tax payers will be paying for his welfare, oh, 50 or 60 years!! Save money and give him the chair!!
      This story seems to have been buried by MSM…. UMMM, again?

        I fully embrace the death penalty for murders, rapists, child pedophilia, terrorists and whatever garbage that needs to be disposed of.

        As a resident of NC, it kills me to know he’ll be living out his days off my back and other hard working Carolinians.

    “I liked IS from the beginning then I started thinking about death and stuff so I became Muslim,” he later told the FBI employee, the indictment in the case said.

    Let’s see: he liked death, wanted to kill people, therefore he converted to islam, the religion that sanctifies all manner of depravities, including horrific murders. Quite a refreshing change from the usual “he was a good child but he started to change after he converted to islam” narrative – a change that proves that islam not only makes murderers out of hopeless losers, it also attracts evil people and encourages them to unleash their inner monster.

        Yes, spot on. I’d add that Islam also attracts good people who later come to realize Islam is evil, and leave the faith. These people sometimes even become fearless public critics prepared to lose their lives to speak the truth.

    WE LOVE DEATH!

    -“Convert to Islam, and then you will be safe, for if you don’t, you should know that I have come to you with an army of men that love death, as you love life.” —Caliph Abu Bakr, Mohammed’s Successor

    -“According to Hassan al-Banna (founder of Muslim Brotherhood), the Koran enjoins believers to love death more than life. Unfortunately, he argues, Muslims are in thrall to a “love of life.”
    “The illusion which had humiliated us is no more than the love of worldly life and the hatred of death.” – Matthias Küntzel

    -Mohamed Merah (French citizen, jihadst mass murderer) said he “loved death more than they (the French) loved life.”

    -Abubakar Shekau (Nigerian leader of Boko Haram) said, “I’m even longing for death, you vagabond.”

    -Ayman al-Zawahiri’s wife advised Muslim women: “I advise you to raise your children in the cult of jihad and martyrdom and to instil in them a love for religion and death.”

    -“Let America know that we have prepared lions who would love to die and we swear that you haven’t seen the worst from us.” – letter to Lars Vilks

    -K.62.6. “O ye who are Jews! If ye claim that ye are favoured of Allah apart from (all) mankind, then long for death if ye are truthful.”

    another nail in the coffin of islam. Remember the cry ” you ( non muslims) love life like we (muslims) love death!”
    it always seems that criminally minded people are drawn to islam because they can rape, steal, kill, lie to and otherwise terrorize non muslims (just like their founder and ” perfect man” muhammed!) and fulfill their evil fantasies

        John, they did exist, they have been killed by their Muslim brothers who follow their “holy”book. There is only one kind of “normal” Muslim…………The kind we read about here every day!!!

      Mind you, ‘you love life like we love death’: Do you remember the fearful faces of the bosnaiks about to be shot by serbs at Srebrenica? Has anyone realised too that all these images seem to have disappeared from the internet (or let’s say, they’ve become very hard to find)? They probably wouldn’t fit the narrative.

    We all know it but I’ll repeat it. Islam f***s with your mind! It screws you up and sends you mad. You play with the devil and he will beat you to a bloody pulp mentally. The devil is more or less chained up in Christian society’s but go within the length of the chain and he will devour you. This young idiot is perfect for the Islamic hoards- full of hate, unthinking and eventually satanic wanting only death and destruction. Let’s hope the Christ can save him. He’s the only one that can!!!

    Terrible parenting. I don’t care that he’s 20 years old. If your kid gravitates towards Islam, you give them one decision to make: choose life or choose death. In other words: submit to Islam, I’ll kill you. It’s that simple.

    It’s sickening to think that there are parents out there who are hands-off with their kids. If your kids are engaging in criminal activity, get involved! And nothing is more criminal than Islam!

    F’ing jackass parents.

    Islam: where freedom ends and slavery begins.

      I would not necessarily blame the parents. Individuals are moral agents. While many follow their upbringing–for good or ill–this does not always follow. (And even among those, some give thought to the values they were raised with, and carefully consider whether to accept them; some do not).

      Some are poorly raised, but can break that indoctrination–and some are raised with fine values, but reject them.

    islam is attractive to some idiots because in islam ,you are allowed to murder on behalf of “allah” and
    yet amazingly go to paradise for doing such evil.Unlike say,in Christianity and Judaism which are subject to that Sixth Commandment which clearly prohibits wanton murder.

    islam attracts those who can’t think for themselves and need some sort of cause celebre or some sort of excuse to go on a rampage.Like those notorious Bolshevik Pogroms against innocent Jews.

    islam attracts such misguided fools the same way that a war attracts mercenaries.

    islam is like a religious form of Bolshevism -and since we know “allah” isn’t the True God and is
    in fact a paganized caricature of Him,I prefer to think of these idiots as….. Baal-sheviks.

    • eduardo odraude says

      “Baal-sheviks” — not bad!

      Bernard Lewis, eminent historian of Islam and the Middle East, on Islam’s inherent totalitarianism

      From the essay “Communism and Islam” in International Affairs, Vol. 30, No. 1 (Jan., 1954), pp. 1-12:

      I turn now from the accidental to the essential factors, to those deriving from the very nature of Islamic society, tradition, and thought. The first of these is the authoritarianism, perhaps we may even say the totalitarianism, of the Islamic political tradition…Many attempts have been made to show that Islam and democracy are identical — attempts usually based on a misunderstanding of Islam or democracy or both…In point of fact, except for the early caliphate, when the anarchic individualism of tribal Arabia was still effective, the political history of Islam is one of almost unrelieved autocracy…[I]t was authoritarian, often arbitrary, sometimes tyrannical. There are no parliaments or representative assemblies of any kind, no councils or communes, no chambers of nobility or estates, no municipalities in the history of Islam; nothing but the sovereign power, to which the subject owed complete and unwavering obedience as a religious duty imposed by the Holy Law. In the great days of classical Islam this duty was only owed to the lawfully appointed caliph, as God’s vicegerent on earth and head of the theocratic community, and then only for as long as he upheld the law; but with the decline of the caliphate and the growth of military dictatorship, Muslim jurists and theologians accommodated their teachings to the changed situation and extended the religious duty of obedience to any effective authority, however impious, however barbarous. For the last thousand years, the political thinking of Islam has been dominated by such maxims as “tyranny is better than anarchy” and “whose power is established, obedience to him is incumbent.”
      …Quite obviously, the Ulama of Islam are very different from the Communist Party. Nevertheless, on closer examination, we find certain uncomfortable resemblances. Both groups profess a totalitarian doctrine, with complete and final answers to all questions on heaven and earth; the answers are different in every respect, alike only in their finality and completeness, and in the contrast they offer with the eternal questioning of Western man. Both groups offer to their members and followers the agreeable sensation of belonging to a community of believers, who are always right, as against an outer world of unbelievers, who are always wrong. Both offer an exhilarating feeling of mission, of purpose, of being engaged in a collective adventure to accelerate the historically inevitable victory of the true faith over the infidel evil-doers. The traditional Islamic division of the world into the House of Islam and the House of War, two necessarily opposed groups, of which- the first has the collective obligation of perpetual struggle against the second, also has obvious parallels in the Communist view of world affairs. There again, the content of belief is utterly different, but the aggressive fanaticism of the believer is the same. The humorist who summed up the Communist creed as “There is no God and Karl Marx is his Prophet!” was laying his finger on a real affinity. The call to a Communist Jihad, a Holy War for the faith — a new faith, but against the self-same Western Christian enemy — might well strike a responsive note.

    Those who convert don’t do it because they like kissing rugs. They do it out of love and admiration for the violent world-view that actively works to spread itself throughout the world.
    Joining Islam should be treated like joining Naziism – immediate expulsion for non-citizens, and perpetual detention for citizens.

  11. AvantiBev says

    To the parents and the Christian pastor(s) great job! He came from a family I guess which was probably those Catholics (75%) who don’t attend Mass except perhaps on Christmas or Easter. You cannot fight a fanatical something with a limp wristed nothing. Time for the Church Militant: robust theology, awesome traditional liturgy and no groveling or Koran kissing.

    This story shows how Islam as exemplified by ISIS is a magnet for homicidal lunatics. At least the way the story is presented, the kid was not necessarily attracted to Islam for religious reasons, but because he wanted to kill lots of people and die.

    What is it about Islam?

    Muhammad affirms that those who do not follow him will be slaughtered
    LINK: Page 222 (326 in the Arabic) of the earliest Muslim biography of Muhammad:

    Abu jahl said to them: “Muhammad alleges that if you follow him you will be kings of the Arabs and the Persians. Then after death you will be raised to gardens like those of the Jordan. But if you do not follow him you will be slaughtered, and when you are raised from the dead you will be burned in the fire of hell.” The apostle [Muhammad] came out to them with a handful of dust saying: “I do say that.”
