New Mexico compound leader on radar of counterterror officials for 13 years on suspicion of jihad activity

Aug 10, 2018 2:19 pm By Robert Spencer

BREAKING: According to documents I've obtained, Siraj Ibn Wahhaj has been on the radar of federal counterterrorism officials for the past 13 years on suspicion of jihadist activityhttps://t.co/vKAl5pRn3B

— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) August 10, 2018

More follies from the hopelessly clueless and compromised FBI. Siraj Ibn Wahhaj was on their radar for thirteen years, yet he was still free to train children for school shootings, while the FBI was apparently too paralyzed by the prospect of appearing “Islamophobic” to stop him.

Siraj Ibn Wahhaj’s father blames it all on a “mental disorder.” Oh, and Siraj Ibn Wahhaj’s father was also named a “potential unindicted co-conspirator” in the 1993 World Trade Center jihad bombing.

    Wow! Mental illness is a family business.

      Nope mental illness seems to be an Islam issue.

        This has nothing to do with mental illness. Do 1.6 billiion Muslims have mental illness?

      WHAT????? On counterterrorism radar for 13 years??? Surely there could have been something to grab this guy on…..13 years….UNBELIEVABLE!!!

        Islamophobicism seems to be in there with Nazism….except ….with Nazism the people that are not liked are caught by the catchers and either killed or locked up or both and with Islamophobicism the catchers are just plain afraid to catch the bad guys and he just runs amuck and creates havoc.
        In law enforcement….Islamophobic’s just can’t be given th job as catchers and if their bosses are islamophobic’s then we are DONE!

      Interesting and informative video. I think the answer to David’s question at the end is that more and more people are slowly beginning to understand but still there are way too many people who have no intention of ever trying to find out what they have misunderstood.

    A STINKING BUCKET OF JIHAD DUMPED INTO ESTABLISHMENT MEDIA’S LAP.

    Yes, of course, the leftist “reporters” will take the “mental illness” excuse as far as possible. But 3 elements of this case are especially welcome for us who recognize Islam as a cancer of subjugation and slaughter:

    1. At least one of the children have told investigators that Lucas Morton and Siraj Wahhaj did, or intended to, have weapons training for the youngsters — eventually placing them in school situations where mass killings would be attempted.

    2. The father of one of the men is a prominent imam in New York, and he is talking usual taqiyya bullsh*t along the perpetual nattative, like “I have never known my son to have any violent ideas”. Hilarious and pathetic at the same time: Muslim denial.

    3. Five people (2 men and 3 women) have been charged with serious offenses, so the situation is not going away soon. There will be court proceedings and eventual trials — keeping Americans aware of what could be happening at dozens or even hundreds of rural or semi-rural “compounds” around our country.

    • Norger says

      Aug 10, 2018 at 8:53 pm

      Exactly right. If you may, I’d also like to add to point 2 that the good imam is now reduced to saying that this is all just part of a conspiracy to make look bad” which is the ultimate bullsh*t.

      • Norger says

        Aug 11, 2018 at 12:26 pm

        Correction above: I meant “make Islam look bad.”

    This is no surprise. Every time a moslim is caught in criminal activity, someone in authority, some government agency, has “ween watching” him, or tracking or he’s on a list

    There are no “moderate’ moslims and there are no “mentally healthy” ones either. Those who have not yet committed a crime in furtherance of islam and its terror, are still somewhere attracting attention and having their name on a list, or being watched or tracked and are “known” to the authorities. It’s only a matter of time and each one feels the need to commit their foul deed in order to get the reward that will never come.
    Given enough time, every one of them would commit…or they would leave the beast. it seems that most choose to commit.

    He probably committed crimes before the ones for which he has been caught. Much like the serial rapist, serial killer, or serial abuser of children, the crimes for which they are caught, are rarely ever the first committed.

    This is complete insanity, let run wild by the obama administration. The FBI needs to be drained immediately – I wonder how and when these terrorists entered the USA? Probably illegally ?
    Where is Lois Lerner and Hillary clinton when you need them? There are no words to express the audacity of this situation amd the fact it’s been overlooked for 13 years! What about the danger to law abiding American citizens??
    Thank goodness we have a Pres Trump!! MAGA. Keep,America safe! Trump,2020 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

    ……………………

    Good God–how many times have we heard at this point that Jihadists were “know to police” or “under surveillance”? But they seem to be free enough to wage violent Jihad or to abuse and kill children, as here.

    I recall seeing Imam Siraj Wahhaj on a video a year or so ago. (Autopsy-correct first filled Wahhabism.) I saved a quote of his in 2016-are below. Oh boo hoo with they don’t like our religion when these Salafist Subversives teach Muslims to hate others. Must imams should be gone and 20 or so Muslim organizations which are full of Islamist creeps and connections to bad people. All his Allah this Allah that talk is nauseating especially when you know he’s full of sh!t. His quote:

    As long as you remember that if you get involved in politics, you have to be very careful that your leader is for Allah. You don’t get involved in politics because it’s the American thing to do. You get involved in politics because politics are a weapon to use in the cause of Islam. ~ Siraj Wahhaj

    I’m so sick of these people like him. Shame on our politicians for bending over again and again for the Saudis, OIC, et al. They are nothing but trouble and against American values and progressivism. The FBI needs to do its job for Americans … the America they were lucky to grow up in rather than some Islamic hellhole.

    This madness needs to stop, and if I hear the word “Islamophobia” again from another ignorant sheep, coward or whatever mind morass they live with, I’ll buy them a one-way ticket to Saudi Arabia for some cultural enrichment.

    Also, when the OIC and EU say Islam should be addressed as a religion and it’s Islamophobic if you say it’s an ideology, well, obviously it’s political. The whole Euro-Arab dialogue and the OIC is political. An ideology is a worldview, a system where the whole ideology covers all aspects of life which is what Islam does and what imams say. It’s a regressive “whole system” and bad for the world. How much proof do they want? These globalist one-world cultists are off the rails. More and more people think they should stand trial or worse.

    Yes, we have compounds or “camps” that need to be eradicated and should have never happened. Wahhaj ought to quote James Madison…((:

    That should have been “auto-correct” not “autopsy-correct.”
    Then again…

    This is nonsense. Everyone knows Islam originated in the Illinois department of corrections. I think The blues brothers dreamed it up.

    13 years. This is at least as bad as the European “watchers” who watch radicals until they do something fatal to others. Unless we change our security paradigms, we will be exactly like Europe in a matter of months. This even has me wondering if Chicago problems have any relation to Islam. Our mayor pontificates, while whole segments of the city are under the rule of “gangs.”

    New brooms, clean sweep, Mr. President.

    On radar for 13 years! Pretty poor radar technology if it didn’t alert the authorities to do something, The problem is that radicals and what-have-you have had too much slack in operating before authorities take action. Islamism has been getting the upper hand and too many political subversives and cowards are failing in their duties to protect the nation. Shameful!
