There is no information yet available to indicate that this was a jihad plot, although the fact that the suspect will be charged with attempting to support a “foreign terrorist organization” does make it likely. At Jihad Watch we don’t jump to conclusions, in stark contrast to the establishment media, which is so avid to destroy President Trump that it seizes on any news that it can twist to that end — witness its recent misrepresentation of a mass stabbing in Boise, Idaho as having been perpetrated by an anti-migration Trump supporter. The perpetrator, as it turned out, was nothing of the kind.
“FBI arrests suspect in July 4 terror plot in Cleveland,” by Ed Adamczyk, UPI, July 2, 2018:
July 2 (UPI) — The FBI has arrested a suspect and foiled a terrorist plot that was planned for downtown Cleveland on July 4.
The unidentified suspect will be charged with attempted material support of a foreign terrorist organization, an FBI statement said.
The bureau will announce further details at a news conference at 9 a.m. Monday….

turns out it was a kid making some remark on twitter, but they needed a distraction from the Rosey and Wray show in congress…

No No, This story even made the NBC nightly news, yes he was a dim bulb, but most of his kind are.
john spielman says
I wonder how many lives have been saved since Sept 2001, by law enforcement agencies breaking up these plots before they could be carried out!
unfortunately, with human nature being what it is, the sheeples just keep grazing with out regard to danger until another mass slaughter of us occurs!
the wicked diabolical theology of islam makes such jihad attacks mandatory until the “house of war” ( us infidels) accept the Satanic fascist tenets of islam and become part of the ‘ house of islam”

It is easier to fool the people, then it is to convince them that they are being fooled.

The Tsarneav brothers’ original plan was to attack on July 4 before switching gears and going after the Boston Marathon venue.
Never have been a fan of crowds, parades and fireworks myself but I can appreciate the spirit of celebrating the Fourth of July that patriotic Americans embrace.
Stay safe all!

Now we’ll spend a million or two processing this POS through court, then spend untold additional money lodging him for a short time in Dawa Hilton (Muslim recruitment center) with hot-and-cold running imams and special halal diets, then he gets out and does the same thing again.

Foiled attacks don’t have any learning value for the uneducated. Sad to say, but only dead bodies will have an impact. And even at that the lesson doesn’t have the staying power. Even 911 is fading from memory.
Ashley says
Sadly, I have to agree with you, Emilie.
Foiled attacks are worthless. They just barely elicit a “phew.” Successful attacks hold the public’s attention for a day or two before becoming stale news.
I’m terrified to imagine what it will take to REALLY open eyes.
It won’t be pretty.

If all of those Jihad terror plots were successful this would just become the “new normal” for many.
I’m *glad* when these plots are foiled–I don’t want to see any more dead Infidels.
Ashley says
Yep. It was jihad:

Another fbi generated crime?

What crap. The FBI does not wage violent Jihad–pious Muslims, do, though.

Good lord, what crap. Jihad Watch–as here–never claims that a terrorist act–or plot–is Jihad unless it is quite clear that it is.
Not so with the MSM often reporting that those screaming “Allahu Akbar!” has nothing to do with Islam.

Oh, and look–this *did* turn out to be Jihad, after all:
CLEVELAND, Ohio — A Maple Heights man plotted to set off a bomb at the Fourth of July fireworks celebration in downtown Cleveland in an attempt to “strike at the values at the very core of our nation,” authorities said.
Demetrius N. Pitts, 48, expressed a desire to join al Qaeda and kill U.S. citizens — including military personnel and their families…

Will Lebel now pretend that non-Muslims are apt to join Al Qaeda? More likely, he will just slink off until he finds some other story he thinks he can plausibly sneer at…
