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

Alabama: 22-year-old Muslima worked to facilitate support for al-Qaeda

Oct 27, 2018 11:31 am By Robert Spencer

Where did Alaa Mohd Abusaad learn her understanding of Islam? Has her mosque in Alabama been investigated? Why not? Would it be “Islamophobic” to do so? American authorities are betting the future of the United States on the assumption that Muslims here will, perhaps with one or two minor exceptions, assimilate, accept American values, and discard the aspects of Sharia that are incompatible with American law and Constitutional principles. This assumption is based on an ignorance of history, for as I show in my book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, at no time and at no place in history have Muslims lived peacefully as equals with non-Muslims without some Muslims waging jihad and trying to impose Sharia. The assumption that it will be different for the U.S. is based on nothing in Islamic history or theology, and indeed, on nothing more than wishful thinking. Alaa Mohd Abusaad didn’t grow up in a vacuum. But American officials do not wish to ponder the implications of that.

“22-year-old woman living in Alabama worked to facilitate support for al Qaeda, feds say,” by Carol Robinson, al.com, October 23, 2018:

A young woman has been charged by federal authorities in Birmingham with attempting to provide support and resources to terrorist organization al Qaeda.

The U.S. Department of Justice announced the charges Tuesday against 22-year-old Alaa Mohd Abusaad. The joint announcement was made by Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers, Northern District of Alabama U.S Attorney Jay E. Town and Birmingham FBI Special Agent in Charge Johnnie Sharp Jr.

Abusaad, who had been living in Tuscaloosa, was taken into custody Tuesday in Ohio. According to authorities, Abusaad instructed a female undercover FBI informant how to send money to the mujahedeen – fighters engaged in jihad – saying money was always needed. “You can’t have a war without weapons,’’ Abusaad told the informant. “You can’t prepare a soldier without equipment.”

Federal records said the investigation began in February when Abusaad was introduced to the informant by another person. At that point, according to the criminal complaint, Abusaad and the informant began communicating through a mobile messaging app.

The communication between the two continued through at least April, during which time authorities say Abusaad advised the informant on how to send money in a manner that would avoid detection by law enforcement, including by using fake names and addresses when conducting electronic money transfers. Subsequently, Abusaad introduced the informant to a financial facilitator who could route the informant’s money to “brothers that work with aq” (meaning al Qaeda)” the complaint stated.

In April, the informant wired $50 through Western Union to Mustafa Yelatan in Turkey. After the transaction, records state, Abusaad told the informant, “And remember they can’t do anything to you. You were completely covered. May Allah protect you. And plus it’s a fake…Just be confident and don’t stress.”…

    I hate to say it, but this arrest, unless followed up in detail, is just window dressing, intended to fool the public that something is really being done to combat jihad in the USA.

    She is so low level, and if this story is all there is to it, then her defense that she was entrapped would probably hold up. What about the rest of the money laundering apparatus? There had to be a facilitator here in the US acting as the go between. ALL the third world countries work this way, with money from the expats going to the home country, often by courier. Mostly this is for support of family or projects in the home country. However, we also know how money ends up in the hands of terrorists.

    Money sent to Turkey! Oh, am I surprised? I thought Turkey and Erdogan were our partners in the war on terror!

    Fully covered in all black? Do you think she acts and does anything without the permission of the male patriarch of the family? Better check her back, arms, and legs for scars from beatings to see what motivates her. Check up on what Daddy and Brothers do for a living and what they post on the net.

    If this is the only fish caught in this net, the investigators and prosecutor should all be fired.

        Been around a while, friend.

        There is either more to this story than let out, or she was the easy target and thrown under the bus in the hopes of a quick conviction and a promotion.

      Exactly , Guy Forester ! A small fry caught and the Sessions led Justice Department gets to toot it’s horn . Whoopi . How about stopping the importation of those who believe in the evil ideology called Islam . Do what Hungary and Poland do and you have nothing to worry about with these jihadists.

    Fighting to preserve her enslavement! If she weren’t hell-bent to kill asnd enslave us, I’d suggest deporting her to Somalia or Pakistan where she’d be happy. Hey suffragette fans, tend to your own!

      I was told I am being all paranoid and didn’t know what I was talking about when saying how much Islam crap is in our State Alabama. Also, I have been called racist and unconstitutional for speaking out against Islam and how I think our State needs to ban it and get rid of all mosque and centers and the training camps

    Islam seems to be comprised of a lot of mentally and physically repulsive people.
