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

Guatemalan president says his security detail has captured almost 100 Islamic State jihadis

Oct 21, 2018 9:48 pm By Robert Spencer

There is no reason why his claim couldn’t be true. Nor is there any reason why other ISIS operatives could not be making their way to the U.S. Southern border now.

“Guatemalan president boasts about catching 100 ISIS operatives as his country lays in turmoil amid thousands fleeing towards the US border,” Dailymail.com, October 20, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales boasted on Thursday that under his guidance, security detail has been able to capture almost 100 ISIS terrorist.

Morales shared the news while giving a speech at the second Conference for Prosperity and Security in Central America in Washington D.C. on October 11 and 12.

The president claimed that his administration has captured ‘close to 100 people completely linked to terrorist issues, with ISIS and that not only have we arrested them within our territory, but they have been deported to their countries of origin.’

Secretary of Social Communication for the Presidency, Alfredo Brito, added that the additional data on the captures was ‘protected information of National Security,’ Guatemalan newspaper Prensa Libre reported.

Brito asserted that the president mentioned the news ‘because it is a work in coordination with the different intelligence and security agencies.’

Secretary of Stategic Intelligence, Mario Duarte, reaffirmed that ‘the individuals intercepted, detained, prosecuted or returned to their country of origin, is close to 100.’

While Duarte alluded that info pertaining to the arrest were confidential, he did point to a 2016 incident where ‘several citizens of Syrian origin who were detained with false documents were detained, for which they were prosecuted and subjected to criminal proceedings.’ Those people were said to have been deported.

Both Duarte and Morales pointed to the coordinated work ‘with several intelligence and security agencies of the world’ as the reason why so many of the people have been detained….

    ………………….

    Nowhere is safe from Jihadists now.

    • mortimer says

      There are at least 3,000 jihadists in the US, 2,000 jihadists in Canada, 1,000 jihadists in Australia, and well over 10,000 jihadists in UK (conservative figure). About 15% of ALL Muslims worldwide (about 270 MILLION) are JIHAD-TERROR SUPPORTERS.

      With large numbers of JIHAD-TERROR SUPPORTERS, we must be very well-informed to be able to spot them.

      We must MASTER the Islamic ESSENTIAL DOCTRINES so that we SPOT JIHADISTS FASTER than even their families spot them. The lives of our loved ones depend on people OBSERVING THE JIHADISTS before they strike and getting them off the streets.

      ISIS training cartel people in Mexico. They are being well-funded. We probably have a lot more jihadists in the US than Mortimer says, plus we have all the Muslim organizations and jihadists such as the Muslim Brotherhood and affiliate groups who support terrorists. Our government knows the bad people we have on our soil. We train some of them.

      UK officials said something like 25,000 there but that’s their own fault as well as with us. Brazil, Argentina…everywhere. I keep hearing people in Latin America complain about mosques and the usual. It’s like a growing tumor that millions of people want gone.

        It is like a growing tumor. The problem is none of the surgeons are willing to remove it.

    If that is indeed the case, then how many jihadis are there in the 4,000 heading to our southern border? In almost every photo of this huge mob, it can be clearly seen about ninety percent of them are males. Where are their wives and children? (Back in Iraq or Syria perhaps?) For sure they will find a few spots where the wall is not yet built.

    In this case, Trump is fully justified in sending the military to stop this madness.

      +!

      You took the words right out of my mouth!

      Since the number of invaders seems to be going up, the time to act to close the border and get the Army, Marines, and National Guard there is yesterday.

    I wonder how many are in the migrant caravan marching towards the US border?

    I wonder how many countries other than Venezuela are selling (have sold) fake passports to middle eastern illegals?

    Gee, a wall sure would come in handy right now.

    • mummymovie says

      Oct 22, 2018 at 12:12 am

      It sure would.

      I’ve seen NAFRI jihadi-types lurking around the Chapparal border crossing in Tijuana, trying to figure out how to get in.

      Some are already here, and many are waiting like vultures for an opportunity to get in, hellbent on killing us.

      Shameful how the left and the mainstream media treat these facts with such disdain, so laughably; as if we are all just a bunch of paranoid crack pots; even while Western Europe is being brought to its knees by the hijra and jihad attacks.

      Disgusting.

        Clarion project had an article today showing how Guatemala has been an easy to access and exit conduit of ME, Asian, and African invaders. Seems that a lot of Islamic paradises seem to be sending us their best via this conduit.

        DJT seems to be taking some action, but I fear he is acting too slowly. Anyone living near either the North or South US borders needs to be on alert. Look for Canadian origin “excursions” and intrusions across that border suddenly to increase now that DJT is looking south.

  5. mummymovie says

    I would think a statement of this magnitude from the President of Guatemala would constitute a “newsworthy” event, or one that would warrant coverage by the domestic American mainstream media, as U.S. national security interests are clearly at stake here.

    I guess it doesn’t.

    Treasonous commie bastards, all of them!

      On CBC (Canadian) news, I heard them mocking the idea that there might be jihadis among the Hondurans…. Of course, these reporters and pundits have no clue about anything outside their bubble.

  6. DeDoc says

    I’m skeptical of the claim. This guy has every reason to say this, because his government potentially gains lots of money from the US. Already the talk on this newest of episodes to bust through the US border is to send more aid money to the Central American nations that are the source population for these migrations. Add a terrorist catch element to the political rhetoric and countless millions of more will head to Guatemala.

  7. Guy Forester says

    Timing is everything!

    Note that as DJT is talking about stopping all funds to Honduras and the other migrant sources, this guy suddenly comes up with this magic number of terrorists he caught.

    This invasion appears to me to be a well orchestrated effort, just before elections, to swamp and overwhelm our immigration system and border security. Spread chaos at the border, and have lots of pictures of homeless children crying because of the ICE detentions.

    Well, Pres Morales had his chance. The invaders are still waltzing through Mexico. It is now time for DJT to do the following:

    1. Declare a national emergency
    2. Mobilize the military and put them on the border
    3. Place as many obstacles, including concertina wire, to make crossing difficult
    4. Monitor with drones, blimps, helicopters, and foot patrols as the terrain dictates
    5. Anyone crossing without ID gets pushed right back.

      Agree, Guy.

      If your five points were put in place, very few would get through.

    Every political leader in South or central America MUST understand this…KEY FACT.

    “islam is under obligation to gain power over ALL nations”
    The muqaddimah,ibn khaldun

    ALL nations:that includes South and Central America.

    They aim to do this through Terror,Dissembling and subverting the political systems of all nations
    {The Left is most useful to them..}

    These Terrorists..
    Make sure they are given very heavy and harsh prison sentences.
    Internment of islamic terrorists if legally permissible should be considered followed by deportation if possible.
    These islamofascist thugs need to be hammered.There is no time for political correctness!

    The Jihadists are in South and Central America..
    {apparently Hizbollah have connections with ciudad del este,a city in Paraguay:for God’s sake,proscribe them and if possible expel them:we know what their game is by now.The islamofascist is the enemy of freedom,Democracy,women and children,Jews,Christians,Atheists,Gay people.The islamofascists must be THROWN OUT and if necessary,stripped of citizenship.These muslims have no place in the West and terrorists do not deserve much mercy}

    Patriotic Political leaders of South and central America!
    Preserve your nations and do not allow the muslims to subvert the Left to gain power:they WILL do this.They have done it in ALL islamic countries.Once they gain power they…KILL the left.Learn the lesson of Iran

    islam is the religion of antiChrist:the koran preaches HATRED and HOSTILITY for Christians koran 9:30
    koran 5:51.It has no place in your societies:if accomodated,islam will make things worse.

    What has to be understood is that the mobs headed for the US are invaders who seek to destroy us.

      NYT just claimed that Open Society Foundations, Mr. Soros’s philanthropic organization, has denied any involvement. Unfortunately, NYT missed to ask about the other nearly 200 organizations…

    The well-funded CAIR that is beloved by USA traitors will shriek outrage at the “Islamaphobia” being expressed here and at other pro-USA pro-Western civilization sites across the Web.

    Do NOT anger CAIR!!!

    We, the people do not want them too mad at us infidels. You never know what those Moslems will do when angered and want revenge against us!!!

    No wonder Trump has to take such a rightful tough stance against the caravan..
