We tried to sound a warning on this, and were vilified for doing so. When AFDI ran ads highlighting the mistreatment of gays in Islamic law, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, which is its city council, issued a resolution condemning not that mistreatment, but our ads. Gay advocates such as Theresa Sparks and Chris Stedman attacked us for daring to call attention to the institutionalized mistreatment of gays under Islamic law. Their gay advocacy doesn’t extend to standing up to Sharia oppression of gays, even though that oppression is far more virulent and violent than anything from “right-wing extremists” in the U.S. And you can’t blame them: given the Leftist/jihadist alliance, it’s clear that if they spoke out against Sharia mistreatment of gays, they would no longer be invited to the best parties, and might even be branded as “right-wing.”
More on this story. “I-TEAM EXCLUSIVE: Oakland man allegedly planned Bay Area terror attacks,” by Dan Noyes, KGO, July 24, 2017:
WEST OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) — Investigators say a West Oakland man told an undercover agent he wanted to “redefine terror” and kill 10,000 people in support of the terror group ISIS.
The ABC7 I-Team obtained a recording of Amer Alhaggagi’s detention hearing from December. Here are some of the most explosive accusations.
In an exclusive interview with the head of the San Francisco FBI and from federal court recordings obtained by the ABC7 I-Team, new details are emerging in the government’s terror case against Amer Sinan Alhaggagi.
Alhaggagi was arrested back in November 2016 on aggravated identity theft charges. But when he went to court a month later, his defense attorney asked for his release on bond in an unusual hearing closed to the public for a case that was ordered sealed by a federal judge. We obtained an audio recording of that detention hearing.
His defense attorney told the court the defendant was in many ways a typical American youth who might need counseling. He asked the judge to fashion a bond arrangement that would have Alhaggagi freed with electronic monitoring.
But a federal prosecutor revealed details of another case, one Alhaggagi had not been charged in, and convinced Federal Magistrate Kandis Westmore to order the defendant be held in custody.

On Monday, FBI Special Agent in Charge John Bennett emphatically reiterated the government’s position in an exclusive interview, telling ABC7’s Dan Noyes, “This was a case of grave importance for us. This was a clear and present danger for public safety here in the Bay Area.”
The I-Team was first tipped off to the case almost a year ago, but the FBI asked us to delay reporting the story on behalf of national security and a fear the suspect would flee.
While most of the media reports since Alhaggagi’s indictment last week focused on his use of social media to promote ISIS, the FBI’s top guy in the Bay Area says it went well beyond that.
FBI agents began communicating with Alhaggagi online more than four months before he was arrested. The prosecutor told the court the first clue to his identify was when, “He said he wanted to plan to start a huge fire in an area near where he lived and he specifically mentioned the Berkeley Hills as a potential target.”
The 22-year-old was born in Lodi and grew up in the East Bay. He attended Berkeley High and was living an apartment complex in West Oakland at the time of his arrest. Prosecutors say by the time he was arrested, he had been communicating with a confidential source working for the FBI and they allege Alhaggagi spent months planning attacks and discussing his willingness to kill and be killed for ISIS….
In that December 2016 court hearing, prosecutors revealed Alhaggagi talked about plans to sell cocaine laced with rat poison in Bay Area nightclubs. The undercover agent says he was looking for information on the exact mixture of strychnine and cocaine to use in that scheme. He showed the agent an ISIS bomb-making manual he downloaded on a computer and he sent the agent photographs of guns he said he obtained.
“He then told confidential source number one, ‘I live close to San Francisco, that’s like the gay capital of the world. I’m going to handle them right, LOL,’ meaning laughing out loud. ‘I’m going to place a bomb in a gay club, Wallah or by God, I’m going to tear up the city.’ And I quote, ‘The whole Bay Area is going to be up in flames,'” the federal prosecutor explained to Judge Westmore in his argument to have Alhaggagi detained.
He also told the court how Alhaggagi took the undercover agent, posing as an ISIS supporter from Salt Lake City, on a tour of the Bay Area including the Cal Berkeley campus. The feds say he wanted to plant backpack bombs at the dorms and went along with the undercover agent to set up a storage unit where he would store supplies for his plans.
The FBI’s investigators say one sign of how serious he was about his support for ISIS came when he showed up at a meeting with the undercover agent at the storage unit with three backpacks to be used to carry bombs.
Alhaggagi’s lawyer released a statement Friday saying, “Amer is not anti-American and does not support ISIS or any other terrorist organization. He is completely nonviolent and he took no actions to harm anyone.”
She described him as “a very young and naive man,” and said, “it appears he allowed himself to be drawn into conversations that he should have been far more suspicious of.”
The federal prosecutor says he tried to get a job with the Oakland Police Department.
He told the court, “If he was unable to make bombs himself, then his intent was to get employed by a police department and steal weapons from the police department once employed there and in that context, he said and I quote, ‘I’m going to redefine terror.'”…
That tip Noyes got last year was a law enforcement bulletin cautioning police the suspect could be armed and wearing an explosive belt. Prosecutors say Alhaggagi boasted about his plans saying he was confident he could kill 500 people but his real goal was to kill 10,000.
His family released a statement describing him as peaceful and kind. They insist he is not and never has been radicalized and they said he grew up in this country and loves it here.

He is declaring war according to his vile teachings and yet we cannot hope that the ostrich brigade is going to remove their heads from the sand. Still they will claim that Islam is peaceful.
mortimer says
The gay ostrich brigade cannot see the forest of discriminatory Sharia laws. The gay leaders see, but cannot observe. They see selectively through Marxist or Trotskyist blinkers. They refuse to actually read, let alone study what discriminatory Sharia teaches about the punishment of homosexuals.
What Sharia law says about punishing homosexuals: flogging, stoning, thrown from high place, wall pushed over to crush, burning to death.
Homosexuality is not only a sin, but a crime under Islamic law.
– Islam Question and Answer says: “The crime of homosexuality is one of the greatest of crimes, the worst of sins and the most abhorrent of deeds, and Allaah punished those who did it in a way that He did not punish other nations. It is indicative of violation of the fitrah, total misguidance, weak intellect and lack of religious commitment, and it is a sign of doom and deprivation of the mercy of Allaah.”
– In the Hanafi school of thought, the homosexual is first punished through harsh beating, and if he/she repeats the act, the death penalty is to be applied.
– In the Shafi`i school of thought, the homosexual receives the same punishment as adultery (if he/she is married) or fornication (if not married). This means, that if the homosexual is married, he/she is stoned to death, while if single, he/she is whipped 100 times. Hence, the Shafi`i compares the punishment applied in the case of homosexuality with that of adultery and fornication.
– In the Hanafi school, the two acts are differentiated, because anal sex [something that is prohibited, regardless of orientation] may also be involved, while in adultery [and fornication], the penis/vagina (which are reproductive parts) are involved.
– Some scholars hold the opinion that homosexuals should be thrown from a high building or stoned to death as a punishment for their crime, but other scholars maintain that they should be imprisoned until death occurs through starvation.
-Some of them (Islamic jurists) said that he should be punished in the same way as an adulterer, so he should be stoned if he is married and flogged if he is not married.
-Another view is that between two males, the active partner is to be lashed a hundred times if he is unmarried, and killed if he is married; whereas the passive partner is to be killed regardless of his marital status.
-Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Abbaas said: The highest point in the town should be found and the homosexual should be thrown head first from it, then stones should be thrown at him.
Ibn ‘Abbaas derived this hadd punishment from the punishment that Allaah sent upon the homosexuals of the people of Loot.
– It is narrated from Khaalid ibn al-Waleed that he found a man among one of the Arab tribes with whom men would have intercourse as with a woman. He wrote to Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq (may Allaah be pleased with him) and Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq consulted the Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them). ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib had the strongest opinion of all of them, and he said: “No one did that but one of the nations, and you know what Allaah did to them. I think that he should be burned with fire.” So Abu Bakr wrote to Khaalid and he had him burned.

WE all need to DEMAND that our POLITICAL Parties STOP parroting this lie !
At every speech we all need to STOP the SPEECH & demand that these STUPID phrases be withdrawn & stopped .
There is no other way to stop this continual denial & lying !!
pandainc says
Gay: Merry, lively (the real definition before it’s takeover by the homosexuals to inappropriately describe their life-style).
Queer: Unusual, out of the ordinary (the queer lifestyle).
The people that he wants to execute in the name of islam are not gay, they are queer. Thus said, I really don’t care about who is screwing whom, it’s your souls — just please, get a dammit room and MYOB.
Thus said, “His defense attorney told the court the defendant was in many ways a typical American youth who might need counseling.” I just don’t know where these lawyers get this crap. ‘a typical American youth …’ This ‘youth’ is a flaming young lunatic with delusions of grandeur. Shoot him, or the lunie bin for life. Typical American youth. Good Grief!!
Ellie says
Mass immigration of people groups that do not identify with western culture and who have no care about liberty or justice is the left’s number one agenda item. Our colleges and universities have been the base of the lefist party for a very long time. Have you been to one lately? The academics of those campuses hate western civilization. They have contorted history in a way that would make anyone who does not know the truth hate both Europe, he U.S. AND Christianity! Anyway, the Democratic Party created the LGBT and gave homosexuals political power. They also instilled in them their core beliefs. Hate, hate, and hate of all things Christian and typically western. All these leftist groups were organized by far left activists and given a voice by the Democratic Party. They are not going to cross the political group that feeds them. They see the leftist movement and the Democratic Party as their life blood.
Terry says
San Francisco area– i doubt that there would be a fair trial (if a trial by jury)– TOO MANY LEFTIES AND PROGRESSIVES.
HE WOULD WALK.
Hopefully, if he does walk, his victims would be his attorney; his family (he is such a nice, peaceful, All American boy who loves his country-i am ready to vomit), and the lefties that support this shit in our country.
Santa Voorhees says
“Prosecutors say Alhaggagi boasted about his plans saying he was confident he could kill 500 people but his real goal was to kill 10,000.”
10,000 still wouldn’t be enough to wake up leftists. It’s never enough to them, as long as the victims are whites.
tedh754@gmail.com says
If they still worship Lenin and Stalin and Mao, as some of them do, they won’t care if the victims number in the millions as long as it hurts western beliefs.
abad says
Deport Alhaggagi to Syria and revoke his passport. He does not belong in the USA.
RichardL says
He will kill Christians there. Deporting him is not a good idea.
The last name sounds Saudi. Does anyone here know more? Would be strange for a Saudi to be raised entirely in the States.
john spielman says
then deport him to ANTARCTICA

Oakland Muslim: “I’m going to place a bomb in a gay club,” also wanted to murder 10,000 people
…………………….
Ah, yes–a “typical American youth” who wants to mass slaughter Infidels.
He also wanted to murder students at Cal–my alma mater.
More:
The federal prosecutor says he tried to get a job with the Oakland Police Department.
He told the court, “If he was unable to make bombs himself, then his intent was to get employed by a police department and steal weapons from the police department once employed there and in that context, he said and I quote, ‘I’m going to redefine terror.’”…
…………………….
Another reason *never* to hire Muslims at police departments.

I’m sure that little sweetheart knows al about gay clubs

He’s a cutie, innee? Gonna be popular on the cell block.
Carlos Danger says
He’s a fancy lad.
mortimer says
San Francisco Board of Supervisors like the Pied Piper of Hamelin is misleading gay people down the path to their destruction under discriminatory Sharia.
Eventually, Islamic HISBAH vigilantes will roam the streets of San Francisco bashing gay men and killing them. How many gay bars must be attacked before American LBGTQs WAKE UP to the fact that Islamic ideology clearly wants to kill them.
