“Curiosity killed the cat, satisfaction brought him back.” That’s how the rhyme goes in America. In Pakistan, it’s a little different. “Curiosity killed the cat while blowing up seven people in Kashmir.”
Now a Jihad-Curious Pakistani immigrant has been arrested at Charlotte Douglas International Airport.
CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) – A man was arrested at the Charlotte Douglas International Airport on Tuesday en route to the United States from Pakistan.
Waqar Ul-Hassan was charged with two counts of making a false statement involving terrorism stemming from two interviews with FBI agents in May and October 2015.
According to an affidavit filed in federal court on Tuesday, Hassan has ties to and provided or attempted to provide financial support to both ISIS and a Pakistani terrorist group called Jaish-e-Mohammed, more commonly known as JeM.
The complaint said Hassan’s family moved to the United States from Pakistan in 1999, originally settling in Brooklyn, New York before moving to Virginia. Hassan, the complaint said, is a naturalized American citizen who also retained Pakistani citizenship.
He’s a citizen of the United States. And of the country that harbored Osama bin Laden.
Perhaps there should be legal measures taken about dual citizenship in terror states.
Hassan was curious about Jihad. But also shy about revealing his curiosity.
During an interview with FBI agents in May 2015, the complaint said, Hassan told agents “he did not support any terrorist groups or extremists, and did not know anyone who was a member of a terrorist or extremist group.”
Separately, during an interview with agents in October 2015, the complaint said, Hassan told agents “he never tried to send money to Syria for ISIS and that he never asked [Individual A] about sending money to ISIS.”
Federal prosecutors allege both statements were false and both were made after Hassan had been advised that it was a crime to lie to the FBI.
“I met with Mujahiden in 2014, while in Pakistan. I traveled to the Border and stayed with them two or three days. I also spent half a day at their Mosque in Deska. I went there because I was curious about jihad. I wanted to find out how they do jihad. I talked to… a representative of the Mujahiden about jihad several times. I gave between $400.00 & $500.00 for the Mujahiden medrasa. This Mujahiden is known as Jaish.”
Jihad-curiosity has now landed a cat named Hassan in custody. That way we’ll never have to find out if he learned how “they do Jihad”.

Maybe he was curious , but it is hard to imagine since he lived in Pakistan attended school and claims he did not understand how to be a mujadeen while living in an area that was a safe location for Osama… He wanted to act so he traveled here for his devout action. Of course he had to lie….that is all part of what apparently slips by the diversity crowd, protesting for open borders, this dangerous insanity due to never reading the Quran to verify the actual deception of the doctrine, religion of peace. He could have been “some person who did a bad thing.”

This incident will never be seen on the evening news, whereas if a white nationalist had advocated for violence, it would reach the nation wide press. This also highlights the inaccuracy of statistics that state that white supremacy groups are more dangerous and greater in number than acts from Islamic terrorists. The FBI and other federal law enforcement agencies as well as local police have acted so many times to prevent an act of terrorism that the number of people killed are, thank God, greatly reduced and for the most part, eliminated. It would be great if there was a report from Homeland Security providing actual numbers of foiled jihadi attempts and plots, then show the number of jihadi attacks actually carried out to fruition.

“I Was Curious About Jihad”: Pakistani Immigrant Arrested in US Airport
………………
Funny how many pious Muslims are “curious about Jihad”…
izraul hidashi says
What Muslim would be curious Jihad? Do you people even know what you’re talking about? Any Muslim who speaks Arabic knows Jihad literally means to “survive against violence.”
No one can be a Jihadist because there’s no such thing. Yeah …these guy’s are dangerous “to survive against of violence’s” lol wtf is going on?

What absolute claptrap. Jihad literally means “struggle” in Arabic. Most people here know that. More to the point, the most important struggle in Islam is waging holy war against the Infidels.

What ham-fisted Taqiyya. Pious Muslims *themselves* refer to those who wage violence against us in the name of Islam as Jihadists.
If izraul hidashi *really* had a problem with this, he would take it up with his devout coreligionists, rather than lying to the good Infidels here at Jihad Watch.
By the way, this idiot is spamming this dishonest tripe all over Quora, as well.
