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

Ohio: Muslim pleads guilty to plotting jihad massacre in the U.S.

Jul 2, 2017 12:32 pm By Robert Spencer

“He was instructed by al-Nusrah to return to the United States and commit an act of terror. He recruited several U.S.-based people to help him carry out ‘something big,’ before being questioned by the FBI.”

Meanwhile, the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) tells Muslims not to cooperate with the FBI.

“Ohio Man Pleads Guilty to Terrorist Activity, Newly Unsealed Records Show,” VOA News, June 29, 2017:

A 25-year-old Ohio man pleaded guilty to allegations he was involved in a terrorist plot in 2015, according to newly unsealed legal documents.

Abdirahman Sheik Mohamud was charged by a federal grand jury with providing material support to terrorists, providing support to a designated terrorist organization, and of lying to the FBI about international terrorism. His guilty plea was sealed until Thursday because of an open investigation….

Mohamud was born in Somalia and came to the United States when he was two years old. According to court records, his brother was fighting in Syria by 2013, and Mohamud provided material support to him from the United States.

Mohamud became a naturalized citizen in 2014, promptly submitting an application for a passport, and buying a one-way ticket for Athens, Greece, with a layover in Istanbul, Turkey. When he landed in Istanbul, instead of flying on to Athens, he travelled to Syria and joined the al-Nusrah Front, with the help of his brother.

In Syria, he trained with weapons and engaged in combat. Court documents indicated that he “expressed a desire to die fighting in Syria.”

Instead, he was instructed by al-Nusrah to return to the United States and commit an act of terror. He recruited several U.S.-based people to help him carry out “something big,” before being questioned by the FBI….

    Deport his butt back to Somalia ASAP he does not belong in the United States. He can “Allahu Akhbar” all he wants in Somalia.

      Given he is a naturalized citizen, I suppose deportation is possible but unlikely? And I suppose that if he is not convicted of “Murder 1,” the death penalty cannot apply. Do they have capital punishment in Ohio?
      Why send his butt back to a failed state like Somalia where his butt will just go back to jihadic works?

        This man needs prison! He is a danger to society! And probably needs psychiatric hospital in a straight jacket!

    “A 25-year-old Ohio man”, my eye! He’s a Somali infiltrator.

    If you allow Islamic tribalism to enter your society this is what you get.

    It is so obvious that no matter what a life can be had in the USA through application of one’s self by learning a productive trade if not higher education,. Their (Muslims) priorities are first, last, and always to be accepted in Islam as fighters for its conquest ideology. We Americans, born and bred, probably will not understand Islam’s motivations, because nowhere do those motivations surface in normal Americans, born to and raised in a Judeo-Christian religion. For that reason alone, there are Americans who place “political correctness” above all other aspects of American life, which literally leaves many normal Americans practically defenseless against the hostilities of Muslims given refuge here from the savagery of Islam. That migrant acceptance created the opportunity for these Muslims (with covert hate for us) to avail themselves of United States’ concern for the safety of “innocents” from war-torn Muslim-dominated countries.
    These people will convert in seconds to becoming 2017 versions of “Manchurian Candidates.”, once they overcome a first official obstacle of being migrants accepted here for concerns of saving their lives. This reality puts decisions squarely onto American concerns for the sanctity of life.

    Deportation is the only solution.

    Why it’s important to keep Somalis and Syrians out of this country.

    • Maudy says

      Jul 4, 2017 at 12:17 pm

      Because they want to kill us! Of course they will have to have fun with us first by raping, stoning, setting us on fire or beheading us! It’s a sport to them!

    This man is the poster child for the President’s Travel Ban. How can anyone who reads this not understand why it is needed?. Actually, it needs to be expanded to several other countries. Furthermore, CAIR needs to be designated a terrorist organization – anyone who advises people not to cooperate with the FBI needs to be gone from the US. Designate them and then throw them out. Yank this idiot’s citizenship and deport his ass as soon as he is released from prison.

    Nice – this guy books to Greece with a layover, then heads to Syria. BIG RED FLAG GUYS! I sure hope part of th new “vetting” at airports includes being able to flag people like this guy when they don’t get back on their layover flights. All the airline carriers’ computers can be easily accessed to see if he booked another flight and to where. Hope this is what happened with improved vetting.

    It appears the proper charge is treason.

      Under Patriot Act, ist that Gitmo without benefit of any attorney, defense, etc.? That would be great. F you ship him back to Somalia, he’ll get a new identity and come back.

    And the CIA is currently funding and arming elements of al nusra, which have rebranded themselves as fateh al shams. Check this interview with one of the “brothers”.

      Yes this is one of the loopy programs based on the naive notion that Islamists can actually be turned to help the West. They can’t, and will simply play a double game for a while until they have dried up the support funds. Then with the benefit of US training and equipment they will turn and bite the hand that feeds them.

    “Mohamud was born in Somalia and came to the United States when he was two years old. According to court records, his brother was fighting in Syria by 2013, and Mohamud provided material support to him from the United States.”

    At this point we celebrate another immigration integration success story.

    Ohio: Muslim pleads guilty to plotting jihad massacre in the U.S.
    ………………………

    I’m sure he is proud–and that his only regret is that he was not able to slaughter Infidels.

    do not pass go do not collect 200 dollars there will be no 72 virgins in heaven for mass murderers. if he is a citizen of america then execute him for treason since the ultimate goal behind jihadi on americans is a combo of religious dominance takeover and political dominance takeover. if he is not a citizen then execute him as an active enemy combatant. (i know it says he applied for citizenry) the message must be sent that we willnot tolerate jihadi acts in america. this man clearly was not attempting to defend himself or anyone else from injusticeor tyranny. this man clearly was attempting to be the cause of injustice and tyranny., kill him. by the way cair needs to be categorized as a jihadi terror cell. they are telling muslims not to cooperate with the fbi according to this article even in the case of attempts of jihad within american borders.
