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

Pittsburgh: Muslim migrant arrested for plot to commit jihad massacre at a church

Jun 20, 2019 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

Remember: anyone who raises security concerns about the “refugee” influx is a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.”

“Syrian Refugee Arrested On Allegations Of Planning Attack On Pittsburgh Church,” by Sanjana Karanth, Huffington Post, June 19, 2019:

…Mustafa Mousab Alowemer, 21, was arrested based on a federal complaint charging him with one count of attempting to provide material support and resources to the Islamic State, according to the U.S. Justice Department. He’s also charged with two counts of distributing information relating to an explosive, destructive device or weapon of mass destruction in relation to a plan to attack the church. The Justice Department did not name the church in its release.

Alowemer was born in Daraa, Syria, and was admitted to the U.S. as a refugee in August 2016, according to the complaint and the Department of Homeland Security, as stated in the Justice Department’s release.

    In the meantime US coalition aircraft drop food and medicine to ISIS remnants in western Iraq. More of this below:

      sources say – BS

      From your article, CB:

      Arabic-language al-Maalomah news agency, quoting Qusay al-Anbari, a spokesman for Iraq’s Badr Organization — a part of the Popular Mobilization Forces better known by the common word Hashd al-Sha’abi

      Hashd al-Sha’abi are a mostly shia organization. Shias are the one who codified the doctrine of taqqyia. Why are you presenting them as a reliable source?

      • christianblood says

        Jun 20, 2019 at 10:45 am

        Angemon

        Minority Shiites are fighting for their own very existence which is threatened
        by the majority Sunnis who consider them as ‘infidels’ and the West is supporting majority Sunni/Wahhabi muslims who are the perpetrators of every single global jihad attack like the 9/11 attacks. Shiites are fighting back against this conspiracy to annihilate completely them in Syria, in Lebanon and in Iraq and in Yemen. If the US sleep-walks war with Iran and attacks it, I can guarantee the whole middle east will explode in an unimaginable violence and bloodshed!

        • Angemon says

          Jun 20, 2019 at 11:01 am

          Your nonsense (“shiites fighting for their life”? really? tell that to the Christians being murdered by your shia buddies in shia-ruled Iran) does not answer my question: why are you presenting a shia source – shias having codified the doctrine of taqqyia – as being reliable, especially when it has nothing to do with the article at hand? P.S: for all your huff and puff about supporting sunni terror groups, al-qaeda and ISIS might not exist without support from your precious little shia jihadi state, Iran.

        • Angemon says

          Jun 20, 2019 at 11:06 am

          P.P.S.:

          “Sunni/Wahhabi muslims who are the perpetrators of every single global jihad attack like the 9/11 attacks.”

          Nope. Just… nope. On another topic I gave you a (far from complete) list of terror attacks waged by a shia group you claimed not to be terrorist. A list taken from a website taht tracks islamic terror attacks – a website you brought to defend your claim. In response, you denied that those were terrorist attacks and insisted that they were not a terrorist group. That you keep on parroting such an easily disprovable lie tells a great deal about your character and honesty – or lack thereof…

          The Bloodthirstypseudochristian’s maudlin melodrama is not welcome among counterjihadists who value human rights and civil liberties.

      More crap from the Mullahs.

      Also, note that even if this *were* true, the worst thing that christianblood can think of saying is that the US is dropping food and medicine.

      Meanwhile, of course, he has *no* problem with Muslims plotting to murder Christians.

    Yet another jihadi who arrived here recently. Yet another that gives the lie to the claim that jihad activity originates with native born Americans (e.g. Hasan et. al.), as if that were evidence that this is an “American” problem.

    No. It’s an Islam problem from beginning to end.

    It is an odd choice for a target: one of these churches run by an entrepreneurial young man, who studied music. Maybe it was just close. My neighbourhood is full of signs saying Anyone is welcome. In Arabic first. I am always embarrassed by this stupidity. The attitude towards a pedophile (lives in a relationship, done his time) is VERY different. He is not welcome. The racism of the left is so obvious: you are welcome if you have a certain skin colour. Then it is also ok to be violent. Because the bad race (whites) shun you. Just like they shun the former pedo.

    Remember when ISIS said they would send their agents hidden within the wave of “refugees”? What’s to say this is not the case?

    Where was the “EXTREME VETTING” ?

    This converted house was a church? No Cross inside or out? A room full of chairs. It appeared very striped of any Christian presence or books. I did not hear of interviews of anyone who attended this church?. Or was it just starting? It is known, music forbidden by Islam, and crosses and bells are not allowed in Islamic countries, to diminish Christians. News media about this just seemed a bit strange to me. Just a bit curious how they found out about this church about this report, in the aftermath of events with the larger synagogues, and churches the most targeted and preferred target of terror plots? These question go thru my mind. Curious how this terrorist guy chose his target as there was no external Christain symbols that I noticed. No loss of life is a good outcome and it appeared the leader of the Church was grateful to have the protection. The FBI can protect and explain to the Police that they are at all times targets as their loss of life is mounting. Citizens should be aware and on guard of sudden vehicular movement. Without this information it is dangerous for all domestics calls as they approach when answering calls, some maybe a lure in my opinion. I hope more police departments are getting the information, or would that be islamophobic.

      Tomayto, Tomato. These people are very, very patient. And they are here for 3 things and only 3 things:

      To kill us.
      To convert us.
      To make us dhimmis.

      Remember, it was only 8 short years between the 1993 Towers bombing and 9/11.

      WAKE UP!!!

    Will someone please explain to this devout Muslim what his religion is all about? Doesn’t he know that Islam is all rainbows. lollipops and group hugs? You’d think someone who was born a Muslim and studied it his whole life would know that.

    More “cultural enrichment” from the religion of blood and death. Just glad he was caught in time.

      Yep. They ALL need to be caught and deported, or if homegrown, sent to Rikers Island. I’m tired of the political correctness crap. We put man on the moon in 1969. We found patient zero at the height of a he AIDS epidemic. We found the source of the first cattle with mad cow disease.

      We’re Americans. Let’s start acting like it.

    The West is stuck on stupid by empowering one-way multiculturalists and diversity demons funneled into government posts from Leftist academia. One America for all Americans, period. Anti-American Muslims need not apply.
