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

DC: Former Metro Transit cop indicted for trying to aid the Islamic State

Dec 15, 2016 5:36 pm By Robert Spencer

Yet another convert to Islam gets the crazy idea that the Religion of Peace commands him to commit treason and mass murder. Yet anyone who dares to suggest that conversion to Islam should be scrutinized as a security issue is nothing but a racist, bigoted Islamophobe.

“Former Metro Transit Police Officer Indicted on Charges of Attempting to Support ISIS,” NBC Washington, December 15, 2016:

A former Metro Transit Police officer was indicted Thursday on charges of trying to support ISIS, according to federal prosecutors.

Nicholas Young, of Fairfax, Virginia, is accused of attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization. He was arrested Aug. 3 at Metro headquarters, NBC News reported.

Young, 37, believed a friend of his, who was actually an FBI informant, joined ISIS in 2014. When the FBI told Young they were investigating his friend’s attempt to join ISIS, Young tried to deceive them on behalf of his friend, prosecutors said.

On Nov. 20, 2014, Young sent his friend a text to mislead the FBI to think his friend was on vacation in Turkey, when Young actually believed his friend traveled to Turkey to ultimately go to Syria and fight for ISIS.

Between December 2015 and July, Young also sent the man digital gift card codes to be used with mobile messaging accounts ISIS uses in recruiting, according to prosecutors. ISIS fighters and supporters communicate using encrypted apps, some of which charge fees, NBC News and Newsweek reported.

Young also told an FBI informant that he was stockpiling weapons in his home, prosecutors said. After his arrest, agents removed dozens of boxes from Young’s townhouse, including at least one designed to hold long guns.

According to court records, Young was under scrutiny since 2009, when Metro officials reported suspicious behavior to the FBI, NBC News reported. His employment with Metro was terminated after his arrest, according to the transit agency.

Young has been a longtime supporter of Islamic extremism and also has Nazi sympathies, prosecutors allege. He traveled to Libya in 2011 and told the FBI he fought with rebels seeking to oust dictator Moammar Gadhafi, NBC News reported.

Law enforcement officials first interviewed Young in September 2010, in connection with his acquaintance Zachary Chesser.

Chesser, of Bristow, Virginia, pleaded guilty to providing material support to the terrorist group al-Shabab. The Muslim convert also told the creators of the television show “South Park” they risked death for mocking the Prophet Muhammad in an episode….

    Islam and Nazism certainly have common ground on many aspects, as do all totalitarian ideologies.

    In September 2013 a single gunman entered the Washington Navy Shipyard with one shotgun and ended up killing a dozen or so innocent people. He wasn’t a terrorist. The WNS was and is considered a “hard-target” because of all the guards and cops there with guns. But the shooter killed one of those guards, a former police officer, took his gun from his warm, dead hands and used it to kill more people. The response was so fucked-up that it’s embarrassing: some police leaders wouldn’t get out of their cars to walk 100m to the EOC, one so-called leader stopped cops as they were going into the building so he could be sure they all had their bullet-proof vests on. Rather than pursue the shooter, four cops dragged out one of their wounded buddies… as the shooter went on to kill again. Training for this debacle was the province of Chief Lanier, a former beauty queen, who’s now running security for the NFL.

    What does this have to do with Young? Well, given the total fucked-up-ness of the cops in this situation against one guy with a shotgun, how bad do you think it will be when someone like Young, motivated by Islam, heavily armed, maybe acting with another, heads in to a soft target near you? And the fact that Young may have been in on the WNS response as a transit cop should tell you something about trusting Muslims cops and Muslim fire fighters.

      Graven, there are so many foxes in the chicken coups that the chickens have given up!! When we let the TSA and other “security” outfits hire Muslims, converts or imports, we just feed the fox a chicken dinner. And we are NOT the winner!!

        True, A Harris–we need to get some fighting cocks together and resist!

    Why not just give these terrorists one way tickets to Syria. And let them get killed and get their Desired72 goats.

    Converts to Islam must always be number one on the watch list because to convert to Islam from any other religion or from none shows a sign of imbalance, of mental problems, at the very best, of super-ignorance. Once converted they feel obliged to prove to their new brethren that they are worthy, that they are just as mad as the Koran expects them to be and so they try to become extra-vicious. Rationality would have the law arrest converts for detailed mental examinations for starters.
