In joining the military, Shivam Patel apparently wanted to become another Nidal Malik Hasan, the Muslim U.S. Army Major who murdered 13 people while screaming “Allahu akbar” at Fort Hood in 2009: he expressed “support for Maj. Nidal Hasan, who fatally shot 13 soldiers in 2009 while serving at Fort Hood in Texas, calling the attack ‘completely justified’ as he believed that Hasan died a martyr and he wanted to become one too.”
Actually, Hasan is still alive.
Patel is a convert to Islam from Hinduism. So yet again a convert to Islam somehow gets the idea that his new, peaceful religion requires him to commit treason and mass murder.
“Indian American Hindu man Shivam Patel arrested for wanting to join ISIS,” New India Times, July 7, 2017:
NEW YORK – An Indian American man, Shivam Patel, 27, of Williamsburg, Virginia, was charged with one count of making materially false statements on applications to join the military as he lied about his trips to China and Jordan on his application to join the U.S. Army and Air Force.
Patel, a Hindu man who converted to Islam a few years ago, said that he wanted to join the “Muslim Army” and commit a peaceful jihad explaining that he went to Jordan to find like-minded people but ended up getting arrested there and deported back to the U.S.
According to The Virginian Pilot, an affidavit unsealed on Thursday in the U.S. District Court said that before going to Jordan, Patel had flown to China in July last year to teach English but instead completely covered up the whole matter saying that he had not been out of the country in seven years except for a family trip to India in 2011-2012….
Patel’s parents told the FBI that he had become “obsessed with Islam” when they found out that he had been captured in Jordan.
After investigators searched Patel’s room and computers, with his parents’ permission, they found evidence that he had researched how to beat a polygraph, had downloaded three copies of an online magazine produced by the Islamic State and had searched for how to join the group, the affidavit said.
The affidavit also stated that Patel had boarded a flight to Chicago on Sept. 2 and spoke with an undercover FBI Task Force Officer that same day while he praised the terrorist attacks that had taken place in Paris, Nice and Orlando and expressed an admiration for Anwar al-Awlaki, a leader of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula.
He then spoke to a “confidential human source” in Detroit the next day where he expressed a desire to do something “bigger, better and more purposeful,” like dying for Allah.
The Virginian Pilot also reported that Patel had spoken to the source again the day after explaining how he would love to see a holy war between Muslims and non-Muslims and even sang an Islamic State fight song while he recalled making a replica of the group’s flag, which he wanted to replace his neighbor’s American flag with.
On Sept. 6, Patel returned to Williamsburg to apply for job with the military as well as some paramilitary organizations.
He then contacted the source one last time on Sept. 23 to express his support for Maj. Nidal Hasan, who fatally shot 13 soldiers in 2009 while serving at Fort Hood in Texas, calling the attack “completely justified” as he believed that Hasan died a martyr and he wanted to become one too….

“Obsessed with Islam” or “nothing to do with Islam” you can’t have it both ways.

“to express his support for Maj. Nidal Hasan, who fatally shot 13 soldiers in 2009 while serving at Fort Hood in Texas, calling the attack “completely justified” as he believed that Hasan died a martyr and he wanted to become one too”
Apparently he’s reading newspapers unavailable to the rest of us. Hasan is still very much alive.
What’s more, Hasan was only responsible for workplace violence. I know that to be true because Obama told me.

No moslem should ever be allowed to join our military or work in our government such as the DOD, DHS, FBI, CIA and so forth. It is a conflict of interest to our democracy. American Moslems do not hold allegiance to our constitution, laws and country. Their allegiance ultimately lies with Islam and Allah.
Savvy Kafir says
True that. Muslims owe their allegiance to a hostile ideology.
It’s hard to imagine the Brits or Americans recruiting Nazi soldiers, S.O.E. agents, FBI agents, or O.S.S. agents during World War II.
Given the Muslim principle of taqiyya — the divine license to deceive infidels in the service of Islam — how can we ever trust ANY of them to be loyal soldiers or intelligence officers? Those who seem the most “moderate” & loyal may simply be the most convincing liars. And those who truly are secular & loyal today may become “radicalized” jihadis tomorrow.
Acknowledging with this tricky situation is NOT a matter of “bigotry”. The onus is on Muslims, for adhering to an inherently-hostile ideology that encourages the faithful to deceive non-Muslims. Their religion is entirely to blame for this dangerous situation. We have a right & an obligation to deal with it effectively.

Amen!!!

I love the way you take LilyDarcey . I have said the same thing many times.

Thank you. I am glad you see this also. I only wish more people could see this.

Do you think Trudeau would pay him a few million for trying to join U.S military.Oh, no wait I guess he has to murder a few military personal first.
I have said before you have to be very wary of enlisting into any position of government moslems unless they have been screened , screened, vetted vetted vetted wait did I say screen and vetted and vetted, just keep repeating this over and over and don’t stop………………………………………………………!
John A. Marre says
A convert. This happens too often. Someone takes an interest in Islam, converts, and starts practicing everything his religion tells him to do.
The moment a person converts to Islam, that person has demonstrated his unwillingness to live in a civilized country, and must be deported.
billybob says
I wanted to add, any convert who is caught like this should serve serve extra time for having been a convert. Let the punishment for converts be extra harsh, and let it be widely known that converts will be treated that way – because they are traitors.

Virginia: Muslim “obsessed with Islam” tried to join U.S. military to imitate Fort Hood jihad mass murderer
………………………
Muslims want us to train them to murder us.
abad says
I am very much opposed to Moslems serving in the United States military for a reason.
Now – deport this jihadi off to Syria. He is not needed here.
Mockingjay says
Hmmm… “obsessed” with his religion he was eh…
– So it wasn’t islam in particular which was the problem, just that he got so incredibly “obsessed” with it.
Ah, I see.
– So why do people who are “obsessed” with ANY other religion never seem to feel this need to kill other human beings?
If you’re an “obsessed” Catholic, you become a priest, a monk or a nun.
– Same with Buddhism.
– If Hindu, you also renounce all things material and become an ascetic seeking to be released from the endless cycle of rebirth.
But if you get obsessed with islam, you become a murdering lunatic.
– I’d say you don’t need ANY other information on islam just than to know the above fact – and this fact by itself also justifies plenty of pre-emptive measures whenever dealing with those who are “obsessed with islam”.
gravenimage says
Very true, Mockingjay.
Terry says
As others have said–all those who want to join ISIS, Al Queida, Hezbollah, Hamas, etc–should be allowed to- but they have to stay there (Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Gaza and Egypt)- and hopefully be killed there, killing other Muslims who are not as Muslim as they are. And not allowed back o the US.
And, their families 9 extended families, preferred) go with them.
And the lefties who don’t like it, can also leave.
