Even though the Islamic State has lost most of its territory in Iraq and Syria, and with it the appearance of enjoying the favor of Allah upon its claim to be the caliphate, that claim still has a potent appeal for jihad groups worldwide, as well as for many individual Muslims. In Sunni Islamic law, only the caliph is authorized to declare offensive jihad; in the absence of a caliph, jihad can only be defensive (although that can be and has been interpreted elastically enough to include 9/11). In my book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, I detail how the great Islamic caliphates of the past — the Umayyads, Abbasids, Ottomans, and others — pursued jihad relentlessly against Infidel states. Jihadis still think about those glory days, and want to relive them.
Where did Naser Almadaoji learn his understanding of Islam? Are authorities investigating the local mosque? Or would that be “Islamophobic,” and they’re content to wave away the question by trotting out the moldy oldie that he was “radicalized on the Internet”?
“Beavercreek neighbors stunned by news of ISIS-related arrest,” by Chris Stewart and John Bedell, WHIO, October 25, 2018:
BEAVERCREEK — Neighbors were shocked to learn that federal investigators had charged a Beavercreek teenager with trying to help an ISIS affiliated group.
Naser Almadaoji, 19, was arrested at a Columbus airport on Wednesday with tickets to Kazakhstan. He planned to go from there to Afghanistan to support ISIS, according to U.S. Attorney for the Southern District Benjamin Glassman.
In Beavercreek on Thursday, James Fisher, who lives near Almadaoji, said, “I’m extremely shocked that somebody that close to me is thinking about joining a terrorist group like that. In my opinion if they don’t want to be here, then why are they here?”
“But this is kind of scary thinking that someone that close to me is a possible terrorist,” he added of Almadaoji.
Fisher said the of people living at the house: “They kind of keep quiet. I see them, but because of the direction where it’s at, I don’t have any contact with them.”…

Ohio: Muslim arrested at airport, was heading to Afghanistan to join the Islaut mic State
……………….
A bit late to the party–but just as evil.
Walter Sieruk says
In America in the specific State of Ohio there is young Muslim man by the name of Almadaoji who had and ,not doubt , still has a strong and firm but blind and unquestioning faith in the Quran which al the reader of this site know or should know is the whole and entire foundation of Islam.. Therefore, Alamadaoji with his blind and unquestioning faith in Islam, put this faith he has in Islamic into practice. If Almadaoji had made it to the territory of Iraq or Syria much the death of many people might had been the outcome. This shows the powerfully strong violent and deadly influence of Islam with it as “holy book” the Quran as the total authority on which this religion is based.
Related ,very much, to all this is the fact that the jihadistswho compose ISIS base all their beliefs and violet behavior entirely on the Quran. This does lead to an important question: “Is the Quran the Word of God or is it a fabrication of a man. Thus, is the Quran the truth or a fiction and a hoax ?” The jihadists ,as those of ISIS, use many verses from the Quran as the main source of justification for their violence, mayhem and murders. As found in For example, 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. There, the answer is clearly given on pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Quran with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Quran differs on whether a day is a thousand years or fifty thousand years in God’s sight’ and “Who was first to believe? Abraham or Moses [Sura 6:14 versus 7:143]? The above is inconsistent and illogical. Further, Morey wrote about “The fact that Judaism and Christianity broke up into different sects was used in the Quran to prove that they are not of God [Suras 30:20-32. 42:13, 14]. Yet Islam has broken up into many warring sects and therefore cannot be true if the Quran is right.” Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Quran, there are and how Muhammad incorporated extra Biblical and Jewish folklore along with pre-Islamic Arabian myth and parts of Zoroastrian and Hindu stories into the Quran. Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Quran is the direct, literal word of God unmodified in any way by the Prophet who uttered them at the bidding of God.” Nevertheless, in the book UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet and Eethi Caner has shown that the Quran was modified in the following account on pages 45. “Muhammad felt the need to improve on the words of Allah, since he changed Allah’s wisdom for his own on several occasions. A hadith tells of the nonchalant emendations of Muhammad:’ On a number of occasions he [a scribe] had, with the Prophet’s consent changed the closing words of verses. For example, when the prophet had said ‘God is mighty and wise ‘ Adbollah b. Abi Sarh suggested writing down ‘Knowing and wise’ and the Prophet answered that there was no objection. Having observed a succession of changes of this type, Adbollah renounced Islam on the grounds that revelations, if from God could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as himself. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites.’ Other writers reveal that later Muhammad and his people did go war with the Qorayshites and he personally killed Abdollah. Obviously Abdollah knew too much and Muhammad wanted Abdollah’s knowledge to die with him.” In conclusion, the Quran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.
Marina says
Why do they keep arresting people who want to join the jihadis? These people are traitors. They should be permitted to leave and not allowed back in and their passports revoked if citizens. They should not be kept in prisons at the expense of the taxpayers.
b.a. freeman says
not a bad point, Marina. furthermore, once in prison, they are kept with other inmates, whom they then proselytize to join the cult, where rape, murder, theft, and child molestation are all treated as “holy.” pious muslims in prison must be isolated from non-muslim prisoners, they must *not* be provided with *any* accouterments of or time for worship (because it’s stupid to encourage them to get deeper into the cult), and they must be treated as the traitors they are.
but i’m not holding my breath, since the nation is run by fools and traitors.
Guy Forester says
Upon return, these traitors need to sent immediately to gitmo.
James Lincoln says
Agree, Guy.
And if they hand out the Koran, all violent passages must be redacted.
Guy Forester says
1. I am really, really shocked I tell you!
2. Why does the MSM insist on calling these young ADULTS that create havoc, murder, and rapes, teenagers? At 18 you can join the military and go out there and blow things up, kill people, get killed yourself, or get permanently disabled from an IED.
Since we now allow 18 year olds to vote, it means these people are ADULTS, not kids.
Giacomo Latta says
Western democracies are slow to recognize there is a new kind of war out there that does not resemble WWI. It is time to declare war on any group, within or outside our borders, that by declaration or deed displays an intention to kill or terrorize any one of us.
Richard Courtemanche says
Let them go, just don’t let them back in. Now, you’re stuck with a nuisance.
Guy Forester says
Unfortunately, some of them do manage to get back in, and we need to deal with them. There are open borders, and various stopover countries that they can enter through that may not be as reliable on security issues. Sometimes they are sent back to us from a country that figured out what the terrorist was up to. That is what GITMO should be used for. If gitmo gets full, try Wake Island, it is long swim to anywhere.

Yes–don’t let them back in!
R Russell says
Why don’t they just let them go and never accept them back again if they do not achieve their goal of being a Shaheed?
