Those who call for more stringent policies regarding the vetting and admission of “refugees” continue to be derided as “racist” and “Islamophobic.”
“‘Hipster terrorist’ pleads guilty to traveling to Syria to join precursor to ISIS,” by Jason Meisner, Chicago Tribune, October 31, 2018 (thanks to Lloyd Billingsley):
He’s been dubbed the “hipster terrorist” for the glamorous social media shots of him posing in snazzy shirts and designer sunglasses, an iced latte in hand and jacket slung casually over a shoulder.
But Aws Mohammed Younis al-Jayab cut a much different profile Wednesday in a federal courtroom in Chicago, where he wore an orange jail jumpsuit and was shackled at the ankles as he pleaded guilty to charges of aiding a terrorist organization and lying to immigration officials.
Al-Jayab, 25, a Palestinian native with ties to Wisconsin, admitted in a plea agreement with prosecutors that he flew from O’Hare International Airport to Turkey in November 2013 and then entered Syria. Once there, he joined Ansar Al-Islam, a U.S.-designated terrorist group that was a precursor to the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, according to his plea agreement.
After al-Jayab returned to the U.S. in 2014 and settled in California, he told immigration officials that he’d been overseas visiting relatives, according to the court filing.
“I wanted to do the right thing … to defend the Syrian people,” al-Jayab told U.S. District Judge Sarah Ellis Wednesday in broken English. He acknowledged, however, that he knew the group he was joining was engaged in terrorist activities and that he tried to hide his involvement when he returned….
According to the charges, al-Jayab was born in Palestine and spent much of his childhood in Iraq before coming to the U.S. as a refugee in October 2012. While living in Arizona and Wisconsin, al-Jayab communicated on social media about his intention to go to Syria to fight for terrorist organizations, according a criminal complaint filed in Sacramento, Calif.
“America will not isolate me from my Islamic duty,” he wrote to a colleague in Syria, according to the charges. “Only death will do us part. My only wish is to see you and start the action.”…
He also worked security at a local hotel, he said.
Infidel Task Force says
He went back to Syria to fight with Islamists. Why did he come to America in the first place? WHAT does that tell you!!??
They come here to create terror.

One single .40 Caliber “Pill” launched at 900 Feet per second, pointed just under an ear and angled upward at 45 degree angle, will sooth this POS and dramatically reduce his bent to MURDER innocent people! As for ME? Hell, I WILL hang onto my AR-15, the Glock 23, and all the ammo I can afford. Badda Bing, Badda Bang, Badda BOOM! UP YOURS, muslim goat humpers!
Norger says
Where did he ever get the idea that his “Islamic duty” required him to join ISIS? No doubt he “radicalized on-line” by that dastardly, hypnotically powerful “internet Islam.” Robert Azzi needs to to set him straight.
Indiana Tom says
He read the Muslim religious materials and documents and realized that the truth about Islam is that you must become a Jihadi.
Ever really sit down and read their non-abrogated crap?
The abrogated stuff does not count.
tim gallagher says
Norger, I thought along the same lines as you when I read this report. There’s that report about the lying taqiyya merchant, Robert Azzi, saying how Islam contains no calls for killing and violence in the recent report here on Jihad Watch. And, by contrast, here’s this scumbag being so determined to do his “Islamic duty” by joining a violent terrorist group. I believe the evil creep in this report, as Indiana Tom points out, so determined to go and carry out violent Islamic jihad, is closer to what Islam is really about and always has been about for 1400 evil, murderous years. At any rate, Buddhists and Christians aren’t rushing off and joining jihadi terrorist groups the way so many Muslims are. We have to keep Muslims out. They are trouble out of all proportion when compared to all other groups of people.

Aws Mohammed Younis al-Jayab pleads that his duty to CONDUCT JIHAD-TERRORISM is a higher duty than defending the American constitution.
This is the very definition of treason.
How many other Muslims feel as he does? About 15% of America’s 1.5 Mn Muslims or about 200,000. Of those practicing Mohammedans, about 2,000 in the US will be prepared to conduct kinetic jihad if they are invited. They simply need someone to approach them with a jihad plot and they will join it.
19 jihadists created big trouble on 9-11, so imagine what 100 times that number could do!
mortimer says
Islamic terrorist-training is taking place all over the US at private, secluded training camps.
pfwag says
A Muslim gets “radicalized: simply by reading the Quran. The light goes on and they become a “good” Muslim and then go do all the violent things their moonbat god and crazy prophet COMMAND all Muslims to do.
Indiana Tom says
You forgot the Hadiths which are load of laughs as well.
Gjallarhornet says
“America will not isolate me from my Islamic duty,”
Are you sure. pal? I mean, we got some stuff called Maximum Security Prisons. You know – the Supermax. Those things might do a mighty fine job separating you from your ‘islamic duty’ and, come to think of it, everything else as well, basically.
The Supermax – not for the faint of heart: If your allah is merciful, our Supermax is unforgiving.
Tom says
Just goes to show that even if it looks on the surface that assimilation has taken place, below the skin lies the heart of a true Muslim with the loyalty to Allah alone as the force integral to their existence.
In other words, you can put makeup and lipstick on a pig, but in the end it is still a pig.
Marco says
“According to the charges, al-Jayab was born in Palestine”
How could that be? There is no palestine.

…………………..
“Hipster terrorist”, huh? *Ugh*.
Deport his ass after he has served his sentence.

He will slaughter in style.

An utter abomination the US has become.
It is babylon of revelation to me now, Trump
was its last hope, there is no more hope for it.
gravenimage says
What? We are an utter abomination because we stopped this Jihadist?
underbed cat says
He was born a Palestinian,more likely by a family that was living under Hamas, schooled in the doctrine of sharia, and the culture of obligation to be a jihadist surrounded by murals of martyrs. In my opinion it is a rare person to debate within his mind whether he is accepting or not accepting of the culture and what he was saturated with as normal. Unless he is free to question,
he may see or question who he is taught is his enemy and may get a hint of light that he may not want to slay others or have doubts. Or he is consumed by it and even if he moves around the world he can’t remove the idea’s or he will start to question what seemed normal. Some ex-muslims go thru this or have always questioned the life….and suffered pushback or threats to his life by family.That he was native to the U.S, shows the dangers of this type ideology being slipped into schools, and glorified thru marketing who took on the hipster model looks….but carried or was wired in his head to plot or fight. Diversity has to be selective to be safe and allowing mosque building where this is taught is destructive with deadly results ,to free and more peaceful cultures in my opinion.

Soros and those of that ilk must be very proud of these weapons they are forcing upon Western countries. When will the revolutions to destroy tyranny commence?
