Yet another convert to Islam gets the idea that his new religion commands him to commit treason and mass murder, but no one cares about that. All that we hear in this story is that he was a “Northern California tow-truck driver.” We also hear that he was a former Marine, and in the seventh paragraph, that he espoused “radical jihadi beliefs.” The CNN story is even worse, with “ex-Marine” in the headline. Did he plot to commit mass murder because he was an ex-Marine? Or might there have been some other motivation?
“California man sentenced for plotting ISIS-inspired San Francisco attack,” by Frank Miles, Fox News, August 6, 2018:
Everitt Aaron Jameson, of Modesto, Calif., who told undercover agents he wanted to carry out a Christmas Day bombing at a popular San Francisco tourist attraction, was sentenced to 15 years in prison Monday.
A Northern California tow-truck driver who told undercover agents that he wanted to carry out an ISIS-inspired Christmas Day bombing at San Francisco’s popular Pier 39 was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
U.S. District Judge Lawrence J. O’Neill issued the sentence Monday, which came after Everitt Aaron Jameson of Modesto, California, admitted under a plea deal in June that he tried to aid a terrorist organization.
Jameson could have received 40 years in prison.
The 27-year-old planned the attack during talks with undercover FBI agents, including one he thought was with the Islamic State terror group.
Jameson told undercover federal agents that he planned to use pipe bombs to channel victims into part of Pier 39 so he could shoot them. He also offered to provide money to the cause.
In December, through an 11-page affidavit, FBI special agent Christopher McKinney alleged that Jameson espoused “radical jihadi beliefs” on social media, as Fox News previously reported. According to the agent, Jameson “liked” and “loved” ISIS-related social media posts, including one that threatened a Christmas attack in New York City.
McKinney said Jameson attended Marine basic training “in or about” June 2009, and “graduated several months later.” Jameson trained as a sharpshooter, but later was discharged for failing to disclose a history of asthma….

The Truth is most of the young people in the West today, like this convert to islam in the story above, are bored in the materialistic, superficial life that exists in the Western world and they are seeking to find some deeper meaning in life. Unfortunately, Christian churches in the West that could have been the answer for this deep spiritual and philosophical needs but most of these “churches” themselves are secularized, morally compromised and are spiritually bankrupt. In the Eastern Orthodox countries, Christianity is deeper, more spiritual, more mystical and allow profound spiritual and philosophical reflections whereas in the Western Christianity both (Catholics & Protestants) God is confined in a tiny rational secular box and Christianity is limited to attending churches on Sundays etc.There are no meaningful spiritual monasteries in the Western world and the few that exists are themselves secularized with computer games and have NO deeper theosis spiritual/philosophical dimensions to them! There are No ascetics in the West, No monastics, No mystics, No Holy seekers of God who move among the masses with their Crosses, icons and relics. There is HUGE spiritual bankruptcy in the West and until these problems are addressed millions of young people in the West, will either keep converting to the islamic death cult and become homicidal jihadists or try to fill the empty void in their hearts with drugs, sex, satanism, sexual perversions, violent gangsterism, medications other moral perversions.

Christianblood has made the bizarre and deeply disturbing claim before that plotting the slaughter of innocent people–including children, likely, as any attack on Pier 39 would–is “deeply spiritual”.
I’m sorry–I have to reject this sick assertion. There is little spiritual in Islam in toto, and violent Jihad least of all.
And Christianblood has often claimed that no non-Orthodox Christian should be recognized as a Christian. This is how he continues to make the claim that Russia–at only 50% Christian–is actually more Christian than is America, with 83% Christians.

The claim that there are no monasteries in the West is obviously absurd. Again, Christianblood just does not recognize any non-Orthodox Christians.

Where to start? No, there are not millions of Infidels converting to the religion of blood and death in America–this is actually extraordinarily rare here. There are only about three million Muslims in the whole country. (Of course, those that are here, like the thug above, present a very real danger).
And Christianblood’s claim that satanism is rife here is just absurd. It has only been around in any sort of organized form since 1966, the numbers are tiny, and few take it seriously.
As for his claim about “moral perversions”, this mostly involves our allowing gay people to live unmolested, which Christianblood has claimed many times is worse than Muslims murdering people.
And the truth is that Russia also has a severe problem with converts to Islam:
“Why Do Ethnic Russians Convert to Islam?”
https://themoscowtimes.com/news/why-do-ethnic-russians-convert-to-islam-35003
“Russia Sees a Threat in Its Converts to Islam”
https://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/02/world/russia-sees-a-threat-in-its-converts-to-islam.html
Of course, I know that Christianblood has claimed that Islam in Russia does not present a threat–despite the growing number of Jihad terror attacks there.
There are now an estimated 2.5 million Muslims in Moscow–a city of just 11 million.
The truth is that Islam is a threat to all of us–but Christianblood likes to pretend that Islam in Russia is just fine.

Christianblood, also if you want to see what spiritual banquracy looks like, go to islam. There is no spirituality if islam.
Michael Copeland says
….. “radical jihadi beliefs”, said the FBI agent.
When the FBI get their hands on Robert Spencer’s “History of JIhad” they may notice that these beliefs are identical with those required by Islam.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Hugh Fitzgerald nailed this phenomenon when he observed that people are most intense in their religion upon conversion to it. Well, if you read the Holy Ko-Ran (fight until there is no God but Allah, kill them wherever you find them, etc.) you see a recipe for religious murder. Who is the “them” Allah talked about so much. It’s us. Us infidels.

Please be considerate of his religious beliefs: get him to those 72 virgins right now!

California: Muslim gets 15 years for plotting Christmas jihad massacre in San Francisco
…………………
Fifteen years is not enough, but I’m glad he was convicted.
Eddie Rand says
Well, christianblood, odd name for a person who makes such damning claims against Christians. Makes me wonder if you are covered by the blood of Yeshua/ Christ at all, sorry but it does. I think you haven’t attended a majority of the churches in the West to be an authority on such a matter. Having said that, there are still churches in America that are alive and following the Holy Spirit, where the Spiritual Gifts are in operation. I know that the Messianic Jewish churches are preaching the true gospel in America now and Christians are being converted to the fellowship with them. The anointed rabbis’ teachings are powerful and we are celebrating the True Jewish Messiah! There are others as well that have not died out to the LORD. The problem is not the church it is the worldliness of the people who have turned away from our Messiah in this generation and have began to persecute the righteous and the church.
