“Taheb planned to conduct a terrorist attack on the White House as part of what he claimed was his obligation to engage in jihad.”
Doubtless Hamas-linked CAIR and other American Muslim groups are even as we speak explaining to Hasher Taheb that jihad is nothing more than dropping the kids off at school and blowing milk bubbles through a straw.
“Foiled Jihadist Pleads Guilty For Plotting To Blow Up White House With Anti-Tank Weapon,” by Andrew Kerr, Daily Caller, April 1, 2020:
A Georgia man who told an undercover FBI agent that he planned to wage “jihad” by attacking the White House with explosives pleaded guilty on Wednesday to a charge of attempting to destroy a building owned by the United States.
Hasher Jallal Taheb, 23, had also planned to target the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial and a synagogue prior to his arrest in January 2019, according to the Department of Justice.
“Taheb planned to conduct a terrorist attack on the White House as part of what he claimed was his obligation to engage in jihad,” Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers said Wednesday. “And that was just one of the iconic American landmarks he wanted to target.”
Taheb and the government agreed that he should receive a 15-year prison sentence, the Department of Justice said.
The would-be jihadist told an undercover FBI agent in October 2018 that he would lead a “martyrdom operation” at the White House, according to an FBI affidavit.
Two months later, in December, Taheb requested the undercover agent to obtain an arsenal of explosive devices and semiautomatic weapons, including a shoulder-fired anti-tank weapon, which he said he would use to blow a hole in the White House so they could “go in and take down as many (people) as they possibly could,” The New York Times reported….

Kudos to our FBI.
Admittedly, I’ve been outraged by their bungling investigations of Trump, Hillary and everything Obama. But they have done a fine job in keeping us safe against the knuckleheads.
Sam says
Ahhhhhhh, that good Ole, religion of pieces. Why are we allowing the Government to let these animals in our country at all? Don’t the People who pay the government have any say or vote whether we should allow any Muslims with an agenda to operate a Muslim Brotherhood in our Country? Muslim Brotherhood say’s it all. Muslims are not part of humanity, they are the enemy of Humanity and are willing to give up their lives for destruction of all Infidels on earth. Who ever made them think they are Superior was a warlord and slave master and that was all he was, and made up a god out of hundreds of gods that never existed, they were all Idols so how can one god come from all these Idols?
mortimer says
Sam, You make several overgeneralizations. Opinion surveys show a varied picture of Muslims. One in four Muslims in the United States are presumed to be apostates according to the organization of ex-Muslims which studies this. About 15% are true believers who attend a mosque. The rest are nonchalant, in-between Muslims. My conclusion (from polls) is that over 35% of Muslims in the US are non-practicing and see Islam as a cultural milieu. Most Muslims feel a powerful allegiance to the group which is similar to adherence to a sports team among fans. Most Muslims are ‘fans’ of their team in this way, but few are well informed about Islam’s ‘essential’ teachings. Only about 15% are informed about these teachings, around one Muslim in six.
Muslims are humans who have the wrong information. They drop out of Islam when they perceive that there are errors in the Koran that prove its human origin. The sun does not set in a ‘muddy spring’ (K. 18.86).

mortimer says,
“About 15% are true believers who attend a mosque.”
This represents 517,500 in the United States.
And in a following post, mortimer says,
“Jihadism is believed by about 15% of Muslims and practiced by less than 1% of Muslims.”
This represents 34,500 practicing jihadists in the United States.
Sam’s concerns above are not an overreaction – NO muslims should be allowed to immigrate into the United States. Otherwise, the United States is playing “jihad roulette”.
“Pew Research Center estimates that there were about 3.45 million Muslims of all ages living in the U.S. in 2017, and that Muslims made up about 1.1% of the total U.S. population.”

Mortimer, over half of Muslims in the United States openly say they want to see Shari’ah law imposed here. So how is allowing them to continue to flood in here a good idea?
TruthWFree says
I agree with Sam. Moderate Muslims can have a son who gets the evil spirit of the allah god, reads the Quran, and decides to do Jihad on us unbelievers. It like having a group of people in our country who are susceptible to a mental disease that results in them killing those not of their group. actually, more dangerous than the random Muslim who decides to kill an unbeliever, is the concerted subversive activities of CAIR, ISNA and other Muslim Brotherhood groups. So all these marginal Muslims…why don’t they just leave it?….Because any real Muslim can kill them for leaving. Generalization is appropriate when it comes to Islam and Muslims….islam is a DANGEROUS religion/ideology and WE don’t want it here. It should be wiped from the earth.
mortimer says
“THE NEGLECTED DUTY” of jihad is referred to here by Hasher Taheb. This book is very popular among jihadists. It gives most of the arguments required to motivate an ordinary Muslim to understand and feel driven to conduct jihad. These arguments in favor of physical jihad fighting are based on the solid ground of canonical Islamic texts which are eternally valid, since they are the Koran and Sunna of Mohammed.
Hasher Taheb must have seen this book, the sermons of Anwar Awlaki, the books of Qutb or similar books. This is how he became convinced of his obligation to conduct kinetic jihad … the jihad of the sword.
How is Hasher Taheb to ‘unlearn’ Islam’s canonical teachings?

This sort of jihad-planning keeps being discovered almost every week, so why have our brilliant journalists like Anderson Cooper, Lemon and Cuomo not figured out the jihad doctrine that motivates such planned attacks against American icons … the White House, Lincoln Monument, etc., all symbols of freedom and democracy. Would Cooper, Lemon and Cuomo understand the message more if the target were the Statue of Liberty?
By attacking Lincoln’s shrine, the jihadist Hasher Taheb was saying he was in favor of slavery. Do Lemon, Anderson Cooper and Cuomo and their Leftish cronies realize that jihadism is in fact a promotion of slavery?
Have they learned anything about Islam’s teachings … the jihad doctrine, taqiyya, al Walaa wal Baraa, the near-enemy doctrine … since 9-11?
Are no journalists interested to learn the teachings upon which Hasher Taheb determined his ‘OBLIGATION’ and ‘DUTY’ to conduct violent attacks against American symbols?
They are apparently endlessly fascinated to explore the manifestos of fascist ideologues, but Islamic supremacism is completely passed over, even though Islamic supremacism has 1400 years of scholarship behind it … jihadism is highly codified and is not ‘hidden’ or ‘controversial’, since jihadism is mainstream Islam.
Why don’t journalists know all about jihadism 19 years after 9-11?

Charleslavin says
What I fail to comprehend , land of the free or not , is how such scum is allowed into the USA …
Everything these animals stand for , is a crime against humanity , and their vision is nowhere in the Declaration …what they stand for is subjugation of all , who are not of their religious orientation , and the Christian principles upon which the declaration is based , are in stark contrast of your constitution …
I feel , not that I am qualified to comment , that all these zany and offensive groupings need to be maybe enemies of the state and due to their treasonous ideals , be deported forthwith , as too their sponsors and backscratchers ( Democrats) , without any compensatory assistance , and their collective assets be given to military veterans organisations to help the real heroes in needs …
As long as the adder or asp , is held to your bosom , your stand the very real opportunity to be fatally bitten …
But , not being a citizen of the USA , I can only stick my oar in from a distance , but , in our county (RSA) ,the allowance of a terrorist organisation to become a legal entity , has taken us from being an able and capable country , dominant in most spheres of industry , military , security ,medical ,nuclear and more , to the newest country with beggar status in the world …
That is what the islam / moslem ideal with sharia holds in store for any country , democratic of otherwise …
mortimer says
Charles, Muslims are humans who have the wrong information. It is wrong to demonize them. Jihadism is believed by about 15% of Muslims and practiced by less than 1% of Muslims. Most Muslims do not understand the jihad doctrine or look into it. Muslims living in the US are daily confronted with challenges to Islam, so many are living in an acute cognitive dissonance of their strong attraction to freedom from Islam’s many restrictions. Many are drifting away from Islam.
Mural says
Mortimer. You keep on saying that Muslims are drifting away? Where are the numbers to back this claim?
gravenimage says
Mortimer, how many more have to be harmed or murdered at the hands of Muslims while we moan over their suffering cognitive dissonance?
And the idea that many Muslims are strongly attracted to freedom is pretty questionable. Were this true, then large numbers of Muslims would be standing up and publicly defending our freedoms–yet this is vanishingly rare.
TruthWFree says
They need to leave their false evil religion….but alas, they can be killed by any real Muslim for leaving. We don’t want that crap here in America. Let them renounce Islam if they want to stay….but alas, they can lie that they have renounced Islam to protect themselves….Satan’s religion, no doubt…”the father of all lies” per Jesus Christ in John 8:44.
Bill says
I don’t know why we let muslims in the US. Their ideology is one of nonconformism and to take over. My understanding is that their already is a law banning any system from the US that would seek to over throw the US government. Ask any muslim what he desires and he’ll tell you shariah law and is-lame as the national religion. That very statement should outlaw is-lame in the US alone.

Just being a good Muslim. Glad he was stopped.

If brains were gasoline Taheb won’t have enough brains to start a piss-ants motorcycle. But at least now he’s got a roof over his head 3 squares a day and access to books, computers etc. They will probably bring him in those virgin goats that await them in heaven or wherever they go when they die.

Another muslim nut who should not have been allowed into America. Stop the migration of muslims and islamics into Christian countries. If we the people don’t this will continue and get worse.
Michael Mazur says
I think all these secret govt spook agencies ought be defunded and disbanded for all they ever do to justify their existence is listen for key words in our conversations to begin the process of entrapment as happened to Taheb who was a boaster of what he’d like to do.
If these spook agencies didn’t do this they couldn’t justify their annual funding of easily $100,000,000,000 collectively.
gravenimage says
Wait–so Michael Mazur thinks that Taheb was “entrapped” by the mean old FBI? And that Jihad terror does not really exist, but is all just poor Muslims somehow forced into saying how much they want to murder Infidels?
In that case, what happened with 9/11, the San Bernardino massacre, Ft. Hood, the Orlando Nightclub shootings, and all the others?
And what does he mean “our conversations”? Is he plotting Jihad terror himself?
Ignore all of this, you filthy Infidels–and disband the security apparatus that–however imperfectly–dare to protect us. Maybe the next Jihadist will be able to blow up the White House, after all…
