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

NY Muslim: “I’m going to leave this country and come back with an Army — Islam is coming”

Mar 4, 2017 8:26 pm By Robert Spencer

Elvis needs instruction on Islam from George W. Bush and Pope Francis. Then he will know to say: “I’m going to leave this country, and I’m going to come back with an Army — Nothing To Do With Islam is coming.”

“Redzepagic’s lawyer Mildred Whalen said: ‘We will be working with his family in the hope that the court and the government will see that what he needs is counseling and support, not imprisonment.'”

Of course. We all know stories of would-be violent jihadis whose “mental illness” is cured by counseling, now, don’t we?

“New York man named Elvis wanted to ‘sacrifice himself for jihad’ and join Isis, prosectors say,” International Business Times, March 4, 2017:

A New York man named Elvis attempted to travel to the Middle East on a number of occasions in order to join Isis, according to prosecutors.

US citizen Elvis Redzepagic, 26, made it as far as the Syrian border while attempting to join an extremist group, allegedly telling police he had been ready to sacrifice himself for jihad.

A federal court complaint, which was unsealed on Saturday (3 March) claimed Redzepagic told police, who arrested him on an unrelated charge on 2 February: “I’m going to leave this country, and I’m going to come back with an Army — Islam is coming.”

On one occasion Redzepagic made it to Jordan, where he was stopped by authorities when he was attempting to get into Syria.

He told officials there he was attempting to learn Arabic, repeating the same claim to a US customs official, who allegedly discovered electronic files on jihad, which Redzepagic claimed he downloaded two years earlier.

On another occasion, Redzepagic made it to Turkey, where he was stopped while attempting to enter Syria, and returned to the US.

The complaint alleges he wrote in a Facebook message in October 2015: “Since I got back from Turkey from trying to perform jihad and join Jabhat al-Nusra the CIA has been bothering me. It’s annoying but I out smarted them.”

Redzepagic is facing charges of attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organisation.

In an email to the Associated Press, Redzepagic’s lawyer Mildred Whalen said: “We will be working with his family in the hope that the court and the government will see that what he needs is counseling and support, not imprisonment.”

      Bosnian Muslim

        Bosnians are Slavic people, who were driven into Islam by hundreds of years of Ottoman rule.
        In Yugoslavia they were normal, since the end of the war many of them get crazy.

          Not exactly
          Bosnian Muslims were the Waffen SS Handschar/Hanjar Division, RECRUITED by the Palestinian Arab Nazi .Amin Al Husseini, aka “The Mufti”

      I disagree. Let him honor kill her. Or plain kill her

      One less enabler

      And a really stupid one.

      But I have a question. He is as per the article 26
      Three (at least) trips to the Middle East.

      Where did the money come from. That is my question number one.

      Next. Didn’t his family see this. Or are they in denial. Or agree

        And who paid for his retun to the US.

        He should be required to compensate US citizens for the expenses incurred to trace, track and arrest him.

          Mar 7, 2017 at 10:10 am

          Let him go! Or, on the other hand, since we now know why he’s leaving; arrest him for conspiracy to wage war against the United States of America.

          Should we do anything less, shame on us! Not shame on him if he, actually, does what he openly advertised he would do!

        He is probably on food stamps , housing assistance and other welfare like the Tsarnev brothers. These Muslim refugees get ALL kinds of government benefits and we are paying for it . Read the new book STEALTH INVASION, by Leo Hohmann ..he lists all the benefits they get, ..including Social Security if they are over age 65,…even though they paid NOTHING INTO THE SYSTEM.

      looks very superior. Nice he-man muslim beard. muhammad probably looked just like him in his younger years. They should have let him in to Syria. He’ll get to do some jihad with the black muslims, when he gets to the pen. One of the Kurdish women troops would have put a bullet in his dumb head long ago. Too bad he didn’t have enough sense to sneak in.

    I really have come to believe the worst of these types, be they converts to Islam, born in Islam, or just plain losers seeking the worse kind of recognition, that of being “super-bad” as sympathizers/devotees of IS, or someone who has made contact with jihadis here or elsewhere and has bought into jihadi kind of violence for excitement in his/her life. We have seen what they do over and over again when they’re dedicated to jihad.
    Whatever the motivation, they do take a position against our nation and what appears as only a foul attitude against this nation only needs a slight encouragement to take action against the United States.
    If the authorities wait to see if such individuals do not do what we have seen of what jihadis actually do as their missions in life, I hope everyone understands that realization of their scheming and intentions can be discovered too late.

    Sane or crazy, someone who is trying to kill you is your enemy. Do not let this loon back into the country. Let him go to ISIS, they’ll probably kill him right away. Just get him out of this country and never let him come back alive.
    He has family? So do potential victims of these holy nuts.

    • Tea Party/ Son of Liberty says

      Mar 6, 2017 at 4:57 am

      I agree ,…we should have let him join ISIS ,…he would have been strapped with a bomb belt and used as a stupid human bomb over there . Now he is back here to hurt Americans or spew the evil ISLAM in prison. WE WILL NEVER LEARN IT SEEMS.

    Since he has the money to go several times already that far, he can gather his own money for the *counseling* and spend his time in a cell with the *counselor* for which his money is paying.

    Counseling will do him no good. He has given his soul and mind to satan through islam. Talking to him about his *feelings* will do no good.

    “Since I got back from Turkey from trying to perform jihad and join Jabhat al-Nusra the CIA has been bothering me. It’s annoying but I out smarted them.”

    So are we presume Elvis is a Bosnian muslim refugee, who fleeing from the war in the Balkans in the 1990’s, now wants to contribute to the mayhem in another muslim state. What’s the chance that the children of those Syrian refugees fleeing Elvis’s jihad and migrating to the West, will not also do the same in 15-20 years time?

    The vicious circle of Islam

    Islam is winning everywhere, I think this is our destiny ?

    • Peter Buckley says

      Mar 5, 2017 at 5:51 am

      On the contrary. Islam is collapsing, as muslims admit:

      https://www.theglobalist.com/globalization-and-the-pending-collapse-of-the-islamic-world/

      If Islam were “winning”, there would be no movement to reform it. You don’t change a “winning formula”.

      Islam is collapsing. The current violence is largely a symptom of the collapse. Devout muslims (“Islamists”) are having to use violence to force “nominal muslims” back into the fold of Islam.

      • Somebody says

        Mar 5, 2017 at 6:25 am

        Maybe US is ok, but EU and commonwealth countries are gone. Africa and middle east as well. The problem is that if US wants to stop islamist it should first stop her secret services from feeding islam. There are very deep issues on this matter.

    Mar 5, 2017 at 8:56 am

    The jihadists should all receive ‘counselling’ all right, but I call it ‘deprogramming’. All Western governments should ‘de-Islamize’ jihadists by an elaborate deprogramming protocol to remove Islamic belief. The individual will be unable to commit jihad thereafter because he will believe Islam to be 1) unhistorical, 2) amoral 3) irrational and self-referentially incoherent.

    Islam is a disease that spreads. Like cancer, it spreads, until the host is dead. Western leaders are still clueless as to the origins of terrorism…they take a ‘natural pathetic’ way of treating the disease.
