Pittsburgh: Muslim migrant arrested for plotting jihad massacre at church was seeking green card

Jun 21, 2019 11:00 am By Robert Spencer

The opponents of immigration reform continue to insist that only “racists” oppose open borders. They dismiss security concerns regarding immigration and claim that the “refugees” who want to enter the country are wholly and solely innocent and benign people who will enrich the land: only “bigots,” they say, would think that there could be criminals, or specifically jihadis, among them. This story, however, shows the truth: security concerns cannot and must not be dismissed in the immigration debate.

An update on this story. “Exclusive–Syrian Refugee Accused of Plotting to Bomb Pittsburgh Church Sought Green Card,” by John Binder, Breitbart, June 20, 2019:

A Syrian refugee accused of plotting to bomb a Christian church in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was in the process of attempting to obtain a green card to permanently remain in the United States, Breitbart News has exclusively learned.

As Breitbart News reported, Syrian refugee Mustafa Mousab Alowemer, born June 5, 1998 in Daraa, Syria, was arrested this week and charged with attempting to bomb the Legacy International Worship Center — a Christian church — in Pittsburgh.

At the time of his arrest, Alowemer was in the process of trying to obtain a green card, which would have allowed him to permanently remain in the U.S. and eventually be eligible for American citizenship, a federal law enforcement official confirmed to Breitbart News.

Alowemer first entered the U.S. through the New York port of entry on August 1, 2016 as a refugee from Syria, being granted RE3 status, which indicates he was the child of a refugee.

Sometime after entering the U.S., Alowemer sought to adjust his status from refugee to permanent legal resident, otherwise known as a green card, according to the federal official. The Syrian refugee had a pending green card application filed when he was arrested for allegedly plotting the Pittsburgh bomb plot.

Alowemer’s 2016 entry to the U.S. was during President Obama’s era of mass migration via the refugee resettlement program — particularly from nations like Syria, Sudan, Iraq, and Iran.

Between 2009 and the end of Obama’s second term, more than 19,100 Syrian refugees were admitted to the U.S. — more than 18,500 of which are Sunni Muslims….

    “More than 29,000 syrian refugees were admitted into the US”
    Now lets apply the statistical data if 15-25% being radicalized, and i going to give tge benefit and apply the lower end of the spectrum, 15%. This means that about 3300 of these refugees are ready to commit an act of terror in Allah’s name on American soil. What the frig are our leaders thinking?

    How many share Mustafa’s views, goals and methods? Oh, right – only “nazis” would dare to ask such a thing…

    Well, sure he wanted a green card, so he couldn’t be deported. He was 18. The brain is not fully developed until a person is about the age of 25, according to modern science. But at 18… and even younger…a person can comprehend the difference between right and wrong. Just ask any kid in school if he/she is allowed to cheat on a test….they may cheat, but they know it’s wrong.

    29,000. One like this creep is one too many., proven by his evil thoughts and actions, wanting to murder. How does his family feel? His close friends? His associates at the local army barracks where he went to hear about preying on, killing, the innocent?

    There is no good in islam. No virtue, no value; only unholy filth and evil from satan the devil.

    The epidemic is called “The closing of the Western mind” as any rational discussion turns to ignorance. It’s a world gone mad where the left thinks it’s ‘okay’ to violently attack someone for not agreeing with their views, and then turn around and call them a ‘hitler’ or a ‘nazi’! If the shoe was on the other foot, and the ‘far right’ truly was attacking the left… but no, it’s the other way around! Yet the media still claims that it’s the ‘far right’ that is the threat, the danger lurking in the dark of night… what utter hogwash! But that is how far the mentality has fallen and it is beyond repair. How do you fix all of this brainwashing worldwide? And… “you can’t fix stupid”!

    His plotting will probably help him obtain a green card, as upside-down and backward as things have become these days.

    Progressives (“Transgressives”) and moronic multiculturalists and cultural relativists on the left persist in absolutely insisting on to continue living in their utopian fairy tale, and nothing will supercede their selfish cathartic desire to lavish themselves with praise, virtue signal, and fee good about themselves. The urge is too formidable: They will never change their minds unless -for instance- it is they under the tires of an islamic jihad murderer’s car, van, or lorry tires.

    They are hopelessly foolish and inadvertently suicidal, except those contemptouous left-wing haters who simply have no children and no plans to have them, and therefore do not care what happens after they leave the planet, under whatever circumstances they end up doing so.

    Very frustrating.

    It’s a fool’s game to try to change the minds of these infantile left wing Transgressives.
