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

Virginia: Muslim who tried to join U.S. military to imitate Fort Hood jihadi pleads guilty to lying on applications

Feb 9, 2018 3:11 pm By Robert Spencer

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.

“Virginia man who wanted to commit jihad pleads guilty to lying on U.S. military applications,” by Elizabeth Elizalde, New York Daily News, February 8, 2018, 5:43 PM

A Virginia man who wanted to commit jihad in support of the Islamic State lied about his trips overseas while applying to join the U.S. military, prosecutors said.

Shivam Patel, 28, pleaded guilty to making false statements on his military application and passport fraud Thursday, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office Eastern District of Virginia.

In 2016, Patel was working in China when he flew to Jordan where he tried to join a “Muslim army,” prosecutors said.

He was then arrested and deported back to the U.S. where he applied to join the Army and Air Force.

Prosecutors also say Patel expressed his desire to commit jihad to an undercover FBI agent.

On his applications, Patel didn’t disclose his trips to China and Jordan. A recruiter asked Patel to see his passport but claimed he accidentally threw it away and needed to apply for a new one….

    This is the sort of jihadist who should NEVER be allowed to take military training or learn to use weapons. Western countries will eventually realize they must pay Muslims to leave and go to Berzerkistan or abandon Islam entirely.

      Indeed, it is not possible for a Muslim to be both a faithful Muslim and a loyal citizen of his adopted country.

      Muslims should be obliged to choose: either abandon Islam completely, or pack your bags.

      There is many Muslims in our military and some are IED’s…oops now I will be classified as a islamophobic, but am I not right? It could take years before they explode..How long had Major Hasan been in service before he exploded? I can’t remember how many Muslim military have been involved in in jihad but even ONE more is too many. What about Hasan…are we still feeding, clothing, housing and medicating this mass murderer? All jihadist should be turned over to our military, they are enemy combatants, tried by a tribunal and then smartly executed by a firing squad. Especially traitors!!!

        Hasan K. Akbar of the 101st Airborne killed two officers and wounded 14 soldiers in an attack at Camp Pennsylvania in Kuwait at the start of the Iraq war (2003).

        Long before that we had the amazing adventures of the al Qaeda double-agent Ali Mohamed,
        also of U.S. Army Special Forces. Meanwhile, Major Hasan explained perfectly well in his lecture why Muslims are a clear and present danger in our military when we are in conflict with Muslim countries, jihadists, and otherwise perceived as “at war” with Islam by most of the denizens of dar al-Islam.

    A tip to anyone in law enforcement: CHECK OUT HOW MANY MUSLIMS ARE GOING TO RIFLE RANGES. YOU WILL BE SHOCKED.

    Who will be held responsible when THOSE CIVILIAN JIHADISTS use the weapons training against civilians?

      In Sweden, Muslims were allowed to train for the shooting part of the Biathalon and skip the skiing. Someone there should have gotten a clue…

    This humanoid is a disgrace to the entire Dharmic community and a disgrace to the very idea of a free, liberated and prosperous Enlightened India.
    Send him for deprogramming courtesy of the local ISKCON Hare Krsna Mandir of Bengali Abhay Charan De also known as ISKHAN.

      Have any Hare Krishnas–or anyone else–ever successfully “deprogrammed” Muslims?

    : he expressed “support for Maj. Nidal Hasan, who fatally shot 13 soldiers in 2009 while serving at Fort Hood in Texas, calling the attack just workplace violence. This was made official by the then Caliphate in Chief.

    Why is the muslim murderer, Hasan, still living?? This is a disgrace, and an insult to the families of those

    Shivam is a Hindu name. His actions clearly make him out to be at least a sympathiser and possibly a convert as well.
    Are converts not mandated to take on Muslim names anymore?

    • gravenimage says

      Feb 9, 2018 at 11:41 pm

      I’m sure he is a convert to Islam–and probably uses a Muslim name. No Hindu would wage violent Jihad.

    • StellaSaidSo says

      Feb 10, 2018 at 5:30 am

      A lot of Muslims from the sub-continent have Hindu names, because their ancestors were Hindus who were forced to convert.

    • Mockingjay says

      Feb 10, 2018 at 7:11 pm

      Yeah was wondering about this too

      – Maybe one of the hindu indians who post on JW could shed a bit of light on this?

      – Are there (many?) indian muslims who go by their ancestral (hindu) names?

      – If I’m correct, the surname “Patel” usually means you are from a high caste, and could explain why they’d want to hold on to that name. But why on earth would a muslim (continue to) be named after Shiva???

      • gravenimage says

        Feb 10, 2018 at 7:43 pm

        Mockingjay, if he converted here I doubt he had his name legally changed in an Infidel court–hence his legal name still is Hindu.

        This also happens with Westerners, where you hear someone plotting to wage violent Jihad who is named something like Bill Smith. Of course, Bill Smith now probably goes by the name Ahmed Muhammed al Amriki…

      • StellaSaidSo says

        Feb 11, 2018 at 1:34 am

        In the past, Hindu converts to Islam were not obliged to change their names, and presumably the situation has not changed.

        One of Britain’s most notorious Salafists, Anjem Choudhary, has a Hindu name.

        There are also Sikhs with Hindu names, and Hindus with Sikh names.

        Western converts to Islam sometimes adopt an Islamic name, but this is not obligatory. Ibrahim Hooper, for example, changed his forename (originally Douglas) but retained his English surname.

        • Mockingjay says

          Feb 11, 2018 at 6:57 pm

          – That is worrying as you then won’t be able to distinguish the hindu from the muslim by name…

          Thanks for your reply, anyway!

      – Was thinking the same thing.

      “Yeah, well, this guy had every intent to kill a whole bunch of innocent people, but we’re going after him because he dared to LIE to us about it.”

      Jeez.

    And this is why you need EXTREME vetting in the Us military and police.

    The Recruiters and Military Authorities must know the deceiving tricks used by muslims:-

    Taqqiya…intentional lying to promote islam

    Kitman…lying by omission

    Tawriya…intentionally creating a false impression

    muruna…blending-in

    You note that Patel was clearly using these dissembling tricks.

    Since the islamic koranic god allah is NOT the same as the Judeo-Christian Biblical God,

    ….it must never be assumed that……

    1.Muslims pray to the same God as Jews or Christians(they don’t)

    2.Muslims obey God’s Commandments(they don’t:in fact their koran tells them they are free to break them):a muslim jihadist believes he is free to “slay the unbelievers” in koran 2:191 because allah tells him so in the koran…. but the Judeo-Christian God’s Commandments include a prohibition on intentional homicide.This shows that allah’s amoral ways and perverse teachings are in violation of God’s moral laws.

    3.They can be fully trusted(see the lying techniques listed above)

    4 They can be reasoned with:they believe allah of the koran to be God despite the fact that..

    allah curses the Jews and Christians koran 9:30
    allah does not subscribe to the 2 chief commandments(they are found NOWHERE in islam.
    allah’s koranic teachings are completely at odds with God’s law.The jihadist muslim has no problem murdering the innocent(or distracted off duty American Soldiers)because his allah permits the killing of “infidels” k2:191

    EXTREME vetting is a necessary reality due to the nature of islam.
    Otherwise you will end up training terrorists.
