Yet another convert seems to get the idea that his new religion is not exactly one of peace, contrary to what we’re constantly told by non-Muslim and Muslim authorities in the U.S. Yet authorities show no interest whatsoever in this phenomenon. “Public records show his last listed address in Sacramento was on the 4700 block of Large Oak Court, half a mile from the Sacramento Area League of Associated Muslims’ offices.” Has this place been investigated? Why not?
“He was a prison counselor in California before he turned to jihad, FBI says,” by Benjy Egel, Sacramento Bee, February 13, 2018 (thanks to Patrick):
A former Sacramento youth counselor for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is awaiting extradition to the U.S. on suspicion he lied to the FBI about his role fighting alongside Islamic militants in Syria.
Brian Arthur Dempsey Sr., 46, faces five charges of false statements involving international terrorism, up to eight years in prison, a $250,000 fine and three years probation if convicted.
Dempsey supervised wards and oversaw rehabilitation programs for CDCR’s Division of Juvenile Justice – then known as the California Youth Authority – from March 2001 until he resigned in April 2012, said Bill Sessa, CDCR spokesman. He commuted from his Sacramento home to two Stockton-area prisons as well as Preston Youth Correctional Facility in Ione over that 11-year span.
In July 2013, Dempsey left Sacramento for the Syrian city A’zaz, about an hour from Aleppo, near the Turkish border. There, he and an accomplice referred to as “Person A” joined rebel fighters in a group called Ahrar al-Sham, according to federal court documents.
Dempsey stayed in A’zaz for 1 1/2 months before attempting to fly home through Fiumicino International Airport in Rome, where he was detained by an FBI special agent. He told the agent he and Person A had gone to Syria to help refugees from the fight against Bashar al-Assad’s regime, but ended up sitting around with no opportunity to lend aid. There were no significant refugee camps in A’zaz or Aleppo at the time, according to federal court documents.
Unable to fly home, Dempsey was interviewed again in Italy in January 2014, where he reportedly admitted to lying about his militant activity in the previous discussion. Dempsey also told the FBI agent he had instructed his brother not to tell government officials about his plan to go to Syria, contradicting a previous statement that he had asked his brother to check with federal authorities whether doing so was legal, according to federal court documents.
Virtually everyone Dempsey met in A’zaz was fighting for Assad’s regime or a rebel group, including members of well-known terrorist organizations such as the Islamic State and al-Nusra Front, according to statements he reportedly made to the agent. He and an attorney discussed a possible plea deal with the U.S. government for nine months until he reportedly cut off communication and fled Italy in October 2014….
Dempsey converted from Catholicism to Islam sometime between 2011 and 2013 and was one of the oldest Americans suspecting of turning to jihad this decade, according to the study. Public records show his last listed address in Sacramento was on the 4700 block of Large Oak Court, half a mile from the Sacramento Area League of Associated Muslims’ offices.
“Given the lack of publicly available evidence about these cases, it is especially hard to determine how a former correctional officer and a former ‘sovereign citizen’ who both converted to Islam met one another, and decided to travel to Syria to fight,” the study said. “Dempsey’s eventual extradition and prosecution in the U.S. may bring more details to light. However, these cases are reminders that the social connections that influence travelers are not always straightforward or conventional.”…

Piece by piece by piece, the Religion of Pieces creates a mosaic of how to fall apart….and make the world a worse place, rather than better, rather than more peaceful, rather than more “successful”….

Robert Spencer, as always, tells the truth especially with the small portion of his statement above. ” Yet authorities show no interest whatsoever”
Therein lies the problem…Our elected officials should be doing everything in their power to thwart islam….I know there are important things going on in congress that affect us….but they are stagnated and can’t agree on anything…dems against repubs, repubs against dems…all dems and some repubs against the president…..bickering amongst each other over “stuff”…None seem to care that a creeping sicknss is moving across our great country…..Iislam! Just look at EUROPE…Europe is our warning shot.

Lesson:
Don’t trust anyone under 47 years of age!
FYI says
It is very easy to convert to islam..
Once the convert discovers the koran(an English translation to begin with but later,in Arabic since allah is a monoglot and can only be spoken to in Arabic;certainly not Hebrew…) and its immoral commandment-violating teachings……the convert seems to think that he or she can commit treason,murder infidels and be rewarded for doing so in paradise,indulge in polygamy,use women as sexual slaves( because allah says it’s ok!)
So you must choose:God or allah?
“If the lord be God,
follow him.
but if baal be your god,follow him”
I kings 18 v 21
All those who reject the True Biblical God for “someone else who is NOT the Biblical God” then..
“They will perish because they did not welcome and love the Truth to be saved,
And so God sends the power of error to work in them so that they believe what is false”
2 thessalonians 2 v 10 -11
Thus,islam serves a useful purpose for the True Biblical God:To facilitate in the separating of the wheat from the chaff.
Converts to islam …by rejecting or denying the Biblical God….
1 prove they lack the wisdom to differentiate between the true Biblical Judeo-Christian God and the counterfeit islamic koranic parody of God,allah.
They are NOT the same and they are NOT equivalent.
2.Are motivated by the “power of error”{this God permits in order to separate the wheat from the chaff,those who welcome and LOVE the revealed Biblical truth from those who choose to follow a counterfeit god}
3 cannot get away with violating God’s laws by thinking that just because allah says it is ok in his koran then it must be ok to do.
(converts to islam are not suddenly permitted to commit treason,bear false witness[taqqiya,tawriya,kitman,muruna}just because islam says you can.The convert to islam is not suddenly allowed to murder others,indulge in polygamy…you cannot fool God and praying to allah won’t work!)
Anyone who breaks God’s Commandments has to pay for it:The moral code of God is given to us in the Bible.
alllah’s koranic code,in comparison and in contrast, is completely at odds with God’s Laws:The fact that the 2 chief commandments is missing in islam and the koran speaks for itself.
4 Cannot seriously expect salvation.If a Jew converts to islam he is converting to a god who curses the Jews koran 9:30.
And if a Christian converts to islam well you know that you cannot expect salvation due to your extremely foolish choice.The NT is very clear on that.
In fact if you are a Jew or Christian you are better off staying where you are:consult the Biblical prophecies too regarding Israel(Joel chapter 3 etc)if you are Jewish and the prophetic teachings of the NT if you are Christian.
At least be wise and stay on the Biblical side of the fence:the grass may look greener on the Islamic side of the fence but that is mainly because the koranic teachings are completely at odds with God’s Commandments.
It requires wisdom and intelligence to convert to God..
Once the convert discovers the Bible(in his own language;God is a polyglot)and realizes there are Laws of God called the commandments(10+2) which allah’s koran does not comply with and God insists we obey,the convert realizes that he/she is NOT free to commit treason,murder etc

(1) Has anybody noticed that Mr. Dempsey is traveling hundreds of miles to commute to his counselling job(s)? Is this daily? (2) Reading the account of FBI involvement in vetting this traitor’s return to the U.S. it seems they are doing an outstanding job protecting citizens here from violent jihadists. (3) It’s time to declare flat out that Allah is a fake god and his paradise simply does not exist. I know that this will earn a fatwa of death from the supreme Islamic counsel but hopefully it will deter more converts. As things stand now, to the uninformed, it seems a clear choice between Jehovah and Allah.
