Where did Alaa Mohd Abusaad learn her understanding of Islam? Has her mosque in Alabama been investigated? Why not? Would it be “Islamophobic” to do so? American authorities are betting the future of the United States on the assumption that Muslims here will, perhaps with one or two minor exceptions, assimilate, accept American values, and discard the aspects of Sharia that are incompatible with American law and Constitutional principles. This assumption is based on an ignorance of history, for as The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS shows, at no time and at no place in history have Muslims lived peacefully as equals with non-Muslims without some Muslims waging jihad and trying to impose Sharia. The assumption that it will be different for the U.S. is based on nothing in Islamic history or theology, and indeed, on nothing more than wishful thinking. Alaa Mohd Abusaad didn’t grow up in a vacuum. But American officials do not wish to ponder the implications of that.
“Former University of Alabama student pleads guilty to helping al Qaeda,” by Carol Robinson, Al.com, September 13, 2019:
A young woman accused of attempting to provide support and resources to terrorist organization al Qaeda has pleaded guilty to concealment of terrorism financing.
Alaa Mohd Abusaad, a former University of Alabama student, entered her guilty plea in federal court in Tuscaloosa on Friday, according to a joint announcement by Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers, Northern District of Alabama U.S. Attorney Jay Town and Birmingham’s FBI Special Agent in Charge Johnnie Sharp Jr….
Abusaad, who was living in Tuscaloosa at the time of the crimes, was initially charged by federal authorities nearly one year ago. She was arrested in October 2018 in Ohio.
According to authorities, Abusaad instructed a female undercover FBI informant how to send money to the mujahedeen – fighters engaged in jihad – saying money was always needed. “You can’t have a war without weapons,’’ Abusaad told the informant. “You can’t prepare a soldier without equipment.”…
The communication between the two continued through at least April 2018, during which time authorities say Abusaad advised the informant on how to send money in a manner that would avoid detection by law enforcement, including by using fake names and addresses when conducting electronic money transfers. Subsequently, Abusaad introduced the informant to a financial facilitator who could route the informant’s money to “brothers that work with aq” (meaning al Qaeda)” the complaint stated.
In April 2018, the informant wired $50 through Western Union to Mustafa Yelatan in Turkey. After the transaction, records state, Abusaad told the informant, “And remember they can’t do anything to you. You were completely covered. May Allah protect you. And plus it’s a fake…Just be confident and don’t stress.”…

Muslima aided al-Qaeda’s jihad, said “You can’t have a war without weapons”…..
Well, you can, but it probably wouldn’t be very successful, would it? Does this person have any more mind-bogglingly-perceptive comments?
Kay says
Providing money is how she would express all her hatred and anger— since she isn’t a soldier. So she’s explaining why the non-fighting role is essential.
jayell says
Not sure I understood that from the article.

She seems to back that fighting.

Good catch FBI. Lock her up till she cant reproduce.
Isntlam says
Law enforcement is spread too thin. Private citizens will have to be empowered to investigate mosques. Do undercover journalism.
elee says
Any citizen is free to attend a mosque and then tell others what he has observed there. More should.

American knows how to go to the moon , but don’t know how to go into man’s heart .
Muslim always the same , it is in DNA .Jesus says , we know the tree by it’s fruit . We know Islam by it’s work , not word or imaginary .

No, Islam is not genetic. It is an ideology.

True enough.

Those with criminal minds always find a way to break the laws. An honest person doesn’t think up stuff like that, nor would one know how to go about such things.
islam causes all of its adherents to have criminal minds. They spend their time using what brains they posses to think up ways to spread death and destruction in order to force everyone else to bow to their evil beast.
Western Union, a way for a family member or friend to help another far away from home and in need of funds for living and taking care of their needs, perhaps an emergency. moslim terrorists use this to send funds for advancing terror on innocent people. Much as they use knives made for preparing food, or cars made to take people where they need to go, to murder those who resist islam.

She is doing as the Koran instructs her to do in order to find the “good things” and to be “successful.”
Those who sit at home should not be content with being useless. See Koran 9:89-88:
9:86 And when a surah is revealed (which saith): Believe in Allah and strive along with His messenger, the men of wealth among them still ask leave of thee and say: Suffer us to be with those who sit (at home).
9:87 They are content that they should be with the useless and their hearts are sealed, so that they apprehend not.
9:88 But the messenger and those who believe with him strive with their wealth and their lives. Such are they for whom are the good things. Such are they who are the successful.
Angemon says
She should conceal her face, like a good muslima…
somehistory says
+1 But showing it is part of her jihad.

……………..
Investigate that Mosque, Imam, and all the other Mosque-goers.

Robert Spencer hits nail on head. Good.
Huh?!? says
Why is this being treated as a civil criminal situation and not as an act of war military intelligence matters?
