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

North Carolina Muslim charged with threatening non-Muslims, had AK-47 and ammo

Feb 21, 2017 3:14 pm By Robert Spencer

“Don’t go to Cary tomorrow….For too long the kuffar [non-Muslims] have spit in our faces and trampled our rights. This cannot continue. I cannot speak of anything. Say your dua [prayers], sleep, and watch the news tomorrow. It will only be the beginning.”

For Garrett Grimsley, it looks more like the end, at least for now. But the key question is this: where did this apparent convert to Islam learn his understanding of Islam? Who taught him? Or are authorities, as also, content to wave away that uncomfortable question with the claim that he was “radicalized on the Internet”?

“Cary man accused of threatening non-Muslims, WTVD, February 21, 2017:

CARY, North Carolina (WTVD) — United States Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina said Tuesday it has charged a Cary, North Carolina man with communicating threats against non-Muslims.

Garrett Grimsley, 27, went before a federal magistrate Tuesday morning in Raleigh.

According to the affidavit filed with the criminal complaint, Grimsley posted an online public message earlier this month stating “don’t go to Cary tomorrow.”

In a private message to a witness, Grimsley allegedly wrote: “For too long the kuffar [non-Muslims] have spit in our faces and trampled our rights. This cannot continue. I cannot speak of anything. Say your dua [prayers], sleep, and watch the news tomorrow. It will only be the beginning . . .”

A search of Grimsley’s apartment by the FBI, SBI, and the Cary Police Department revealed an AK-47 assault rifle, four 30-round magazines, and approximately 340 rounds of 7.62 millimeter ammunition….

    Can we finally just start saying this is Islam, especially Wahhabism. Anyone who follows Islam to the “T” will become radicalized, that is a fact. Islam is the problem, until it reforms it will remain a problem.

    • Diane Ray says

      Exactly right. The Islamic ideology is the problem. Though we live in an information world with information at our fingertips in a matter of a second or two, generally speaking, we have an abundance of lack of knowledge. With sufficient and unbiased researched most anyone will come to the same conclusion regarding Islam.

    • Daniel Triplett says

      Reform is impossible. Islam hasn’t changed in 1400 years for a reason.

      Any reformation would deny the “initial perfection” of Allah’s word, and Muhammad’s authority and place as the sole model of perfection which every human on Earth must emulate.

      To even suggest any reformation is Blasphemy and Heresy, which are serious offenses in Islamic Law. This offense would likely earn a Muslim execution in most Islamic countries.

      Not in 10 years or 10,000 years: Islam will never change.

      • A Harris USA says

        Feb 22, 2017 at 4:25 pm

        Graven, the so called new converts, are always on the radical trail.. The Imams and Muftis who run the show, always get them to believe the only way they can get those 72 virgins is to go at Islam full blast right away. Crack pot failures who get sucked into Islam can make themselves seem important by being a jihadist.. Just another tool for the Muslim leaders to use against the infidels……………Meaning us.. There is many out there, and just waiting for the chance to kill us.

    An actual hate-crime, as opposed to the imaginary non-muslim-on-muslim that are reported in capital letters but turn out to be false.

    Only 4 30 round magazines and 340 rounds of ammunition, If this guy had a brain in his head he would have at the least 10-30 round magazines and 1000 rounds of ammunition. If you’re going on a killing spree you need to use your brain and do it right. I Thank God, Muslims are stupid.

      Yeah many muslims ARE STUPID but Obama and the Libs have let too many of them in this country, given them food stamps and housing and the like and while they sit around doing nothing they plot to kill every “non believer”……..Trump has the right idea, KEEP THIS SCUM OUT OF THE USA !!

    Notice he doesn’t look Middle-Eastern or North African. No trademark bushy beard sans mustache.

    He looks similar to most Americans.

    Frightening.

    • Wellington says

      Feb 21, 2017 at 7:10 pm

      “Frightening.”

      Damn irritating too, Daniel. You know, sometimes it’s a close call whether Islam is more of a menace or more just a plain pain-in-the ass. Reasonable minds can differ here, preferably while enjoying a few pitchers of beer, yet something else this hideous religion of Mo describes as “haram,” and thus refuting a wiser man than Islam has ever produced, one Ben Franklin, who observed, “Beer is proof that God exists and wants us to be happy,” contra that great misanthrope, the Ayatollah Khomeini, who said, “There is no fun in Islam.”

      Indeed. And which is one of about a hundred reasons why I would choose almost anything over Islam as a proper guide to conduct my life.

      Hope you and yours are well in this very goofy world in which we live. Ah, time for a beer.

      • Daniel Triplett says

        Feb 21, 2017 at 10:07 pm

        Yes Sir, Ben Franklin was a wise man.

        I read a study on happiness: The happiest Western people are those living within walking distance of a bar/tavern/pub.

        Beer is a wonderful panacea and tool to meld minds together. In the USAF during the war, when we had a crew rest, whether 10 hours or 10 days, (usually closer to 10 hours in war) everyone on the crew got shit-housed, every time, no exceptions. It washed away the stress of the war and the divorces 75% of us were experiencing. Alcohol is an excellent libation for esprit de corps.

        “it’s a close call whether Islam is more of a menace or more just a plain pain-in-the ass”

        It’s merely a menace…until they get their hands on a suicide-vest, an AK, an IED, nukes, or more recently their weapon of choice–a truck or bus.

        “There is no fun in Islam.” –Ayatollah Khomeini

        Isn’t that the truth. That really sums it up.

        The goal is to make life so horrible that people are begging for an S-vest to escape the misery for a fast track to paradise and Eternal fun. Gosh, won’t they be surprised a millisecond post-detonation.

        Take care Brother. Enjoy the beer.

          Feb 21, 2017 at 10:53 pm

          “…menace or more just a plain pain-in-the ass”

          I said “menace,” but meant “pain-in-the-ass,” but I know you’re wise enough to know this correction was unnecessary.

      Hopefully President Trump at some point makes it illegal to convert to Islam.

      Anyone who joins the Death Cult of Islam will be deported to Syria.

      • Daniel Triplett says

        Feb 21, 2017 at 11:02 pm

        “Anyone who joins the Death Cult of Islam will be deported to Syria”

        Or better yet, let’s criminalize the “practice or promotion of Islam,” making it a capital offense. Yes, it’s that serious.

        Why deport them? In today’s jet-age, the bad guys can freely move about, creating mayhem and horror far and wide.

        Deporting them just gives them access to a safe-haven where they can plan and plot their next assignment for Allah.

        I’m sorry to say but more than likely our legislators will pass blasphemy laws against Islam just like Canada. They will make it a “hate” crime. This will legitimize “Islamophobia” not recognizing the term “Islamophobia” as a word coined by the Muslim Brotherhood to further their agenda.

        As an old GI Veteran, pushing 80, I dont worry about me too much but I do worry about my grands…..why should they be subjected to a world with this kind of hate filled scum walking American streets………”funny” when I was a kid of 17 stationed in Africa, we had hutboys- actually adult men- who were thankful to earn $2 a month for spit shining our shoes, making our bunks and washing our skivvies — now all they want to do is kill “non believers” ….

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Feb 22, 2017 at 7:06 pm

      Precisely.

      Just like people of any ethnicity can become Christian, people of any ethnicity can become Muslim.

      And when they Go Muslim, nine times out of ten (or more) they Go Jihad.

      One of the most dangerous jihadis running around in Somalia is a woman of white ‘western’ ethnicity, Samantha Lewthwaite.. who should have had her British citizenship cancelled long ago, and a declaration of “Exiled and Outlawed” placed on her head.

      Of course, the most dangerous ones of all are not those who, like Samantha Lewthwaite, or even this evil creep, broadcast their conversion and their new allegiance to the Mohammedan Mob all over the landscape henceforward; who grow a beard (if male) and start busily stockpiling ammo, or, if female, wrap themselves up in the burka or the niqab. Because at least with *those*, you know where you are at; they’ve joined the Gang and they’re dressed up in the Gang Uniform.

      No, the most dangerous are the Nuaym bin Masuds; those, sometimes in high places, who *conceal* their change of allegiance but use their ‘access’, within the Infidel context – political, social, academic, familial – to promote Islam henceforward. It’s *those* that are the real stuff of nightmares.

    Another dead-eyed Islamic zombie. Another loser.

    Islam is superb at attracting losers. For confirmation here just look at the over fifty Muslim-majority nations that exist. Anyone care to call any of them a “winner” where freedom, equality under the law, women’s rights and the capacity to apologize for previous wrongdoing are concerned?

    Oh yeah, any Muslim or dhimmi apologist for Islam out there who would refute me? Well then, give it a shot.

    • Bill says

      Feb 21, 2017 at 7:11 pm

      You are correct. Look at all the leftist that ally with them. The left contains the largest assemblage of losers at every level on the planet. The alliance is a natural.

        Throngs of scum bags with no intention of doing anything for anyone but themselves are everywhere. I can identify with absolute certainty each one of them each and everytime.

      Look into the Nizari Shi’a. They’ve figured out a way to interpret their Shi’a version to promote the use of human reasoning and they tend to become professionals.

      I’ve tracking their atrocities. I have written countless emails directly to colleges/universities officials, the Departments of Education and Justice, church officials, news agencies, various women and men’s organizations. I have contacted my Senators and Representatives both state and federal. I’ve even contacted the President and Vice President. I keep a record of their crimes. So far, I’ve received no replies and absolutely no action has been taken. I would welcome some help and support from my fellow Americans in this effort. You are correct, we need to get involved.

  12. Alec Rawls says

    Feb 22, 2017 at 3:17 am

    I expect 20% of the idiot leftist “I am Muslim too” crowd to convert to Islam and immediately turn their hatred of their fellow Americans to murder lust. Did you see how they all listened reverentially to the Muslim call to prayer (the declaration of faith/Shahada)? Probably the first experience of reverence for half of them, with no thought in their heads but for alliance and power. What they know about the substance of Islam they actively block out of their minds. Theirs will be the blindest reverence, just what Islam seeks. A marriage made in Hell.

  13. FYI says

    Feb 22, 2017 at 6:26 am

    If you convert to islam you….

    1)Exchange the Truth for a lie.
    2)Abandon God for a god of murder.
    3)Very likely will end up in jail if you follow the koranic teachings that command evil.
    4)Most certainly Lose your soul.

    There is no salvation in it…

    What RIGHTS have been trampled? The US has bent over backwards to accommodate DEMANDS forced down our throats by “elites” of government. Prayer rooms with foot washing facilities on college campuses paid for by American taxpayers, the Islamic conversion pray, clothing, names, etc enforced/taught in our public grade schools, elimination of Christian, Jewish and other religious holidays replaced with Islamic celebrations in our public schools, zoning laws changed to allow mosques to be built in neighborhoods that don’t want them, rapes, Sharia law in our courts, law enforcement officers sensitivity training to accept foreign cultural atrocities instead of upholding American law, arresting American citizens instead of the perpetrators when we object, restrictions on our freedoms, intentional hiding crimes committed by aliens, inadequate vetting, allowing aliens to use our own laws against us, special food in our prisons and the list goes on and on and on….Short of declaring the US an Islamic state, I have absolutely no idea what this misguided young man it talking about. Can someone explain this to me?

    Islam is the creation of demons and perfectly suited to sick men who are looking for a ‘spiritual mandate’ to exercise their sadistic proclivities. It’s ‘justifiable homicide’ commanded by a blood-thirsty ‘god’.

  17. Paul Ashley says

    Feb 22, 2017 at 10:47 am

    “But the key question is this: where did this apparent convert to Islam learn his understanding of Islam?”

    Uh, might he have read the Quran?

  18. dumbledoresarmy says

    Feb 22, 2017 at 7:16 pm

    When and where and as a result of contact with *whom* did he convert to Islam? Schoolyard dawa, campus dawa, internet dawa (chatting with Muslims online/ visiting a Muslm website), prison dawa? Before and/ or after his conversion, has he been attending a mosque? If so, we need to know its *name* and who’s in charge. The article says diddly-squat about any of this.

    We need a couple of intrepid investigative reporters to get to work, make a *list* of, say, the twenty or thirty Dangerous Converts of this ilk who have come to the attention of the Law in the US over the past several years, and start digging. Interview the families, the schoolmates, the classmates, the employers/ fellow employees (if the convert was in a place of employment).

    I very much doubt that this bloke simply picked up a Quran in the local library, or the local bookshop, read it through and, bam! converted.

    Did the cops think to *ask* him, I wonder? “When did you first find out about Islam?” “Who witnessed your Shahada?” Have you ever been to a mosque?

    A really good interrogator would probably be able to get it all out of him very slickly – enthusiastic converts to any cult are always ready to tell a sympathetic listener all about how they Saw the Light.

    If it emerges that he *has* been hanging around a mosque… especially *before* his conversion and at the time of conversion, as well as *after*… then that mosque or perhaps mosques should be *raided and searched* and very thoroughly investigated as to its history, leadership, finances, etc.

    what is it going to take in our state to finally realize we are dealing with an invading enemy brought to us by the state department, the u.n. and the obama and bush administrations, are we going to wait until some fanatical Islamic in Raleigh, Charlotte, Winston Salem, etc. brutally murders 100 people including women and children, then what?

    • David Hartman says

      Feb 22, 2017 at 10:40 pm

      Same thing that happened in Orlando, San Bernardino, etc, etc. The MSM will spin & downplay the story to fit their narrative.

  20. David Hartman says

    Feb 22, 2017 at 10:38 pm

    I live next to Cary. In the 9 years I’ve lived here, the Muslim population there has exploded. I saw a woman in a full burqa for the firsts time in the US at the Cry Home Depot. Now she did have her eyes uncovered, but it won’t be too much longer. Her ‘husband’ was in the traditional all white garb; glasses, thick beard, and a kufi.

    Of course, the local MSM downplays this, making non-news items such as the politically ‘incorrect’ HB2 issue much more important.
