“Domestic Islamist Extremism Arrests and Plots in US Jumped 50% Last Year, New ADL Data Shows,” Algemeiner, May 21, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Arrests and plots linked to domestic Islamist extremism in the US increased by 50 percent last year, new data published by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) on Monday showed.
According to the data, compiled by the ADL’s Center on Extremism, there were a total of 30 arrests linked to domestic Islamist extremism in 2019, nine of which were for terror plots….
The ADL statement added, “In addition to the nine individuals arrested for plotting attacks, 21 others were arrested for engaging in domestic criminal activity motivated by Islamist extremism. Of those 21 individuals, a large majority faced charges for attempting to provide material support to ISIS. Approximately 70 percent of domestic Islamist extremist criminal activity in 2019 was inspired by ISIS, which has reportedly lost all of its territory in Iraq and Syria.”…

Thank you Robert Spencer for your dillegence to protect the planet Earth from true belivers of the Islam faith.
I guess the increase is because the true believers of the child sex abuser mohamed can simply claim they are crazy and get off any persicution. I long for the simple justice of a simple hanging in the market square.

Denial of reality is foolish and often times dangerous. No better example exists in our time than the continued exculpation of the most extensively influential evil religion of all time—Islam. And as here exampled.
No informed and sane person has any business defending Islam in any manner whatsoever. Did Islam achieve certain things? The answer is yes, for instance some of its art in the medieval era is impressive but then so are some of the architectural wonders of the Aztecs who also produced impressive drainage systems around their chief metropolis, Tenochtitlan (modern Mexico City), never mind, eh, they also engaged in vast human sacrifices to their false gods—and their priests wore capes made out of human skin. And while we’re at it, let’s not forget that Hitler put millions back to work and had the Autobahn completed. So effing what? Stalin had very impressive factories and dams built. Again, so effing what?
Per that colossal old fool, one Bernie Sanders, Fidel Castro instituted national health care for everyone (never mind that it was a two-tier system, one for high Communist Party members and the rest for the rabble) and increased literacy (so that even more could read about how wonderful Karl Marx’s ideas were and how terrible the USA was). And so on and so on with this nonsense perpetrated by fools or worse.
All of which takes me back (sorry for the editorial peregrination) to the headline in this article. Yes, jihad plots increased by a factor of 50% in just one year here in the USA but if you dare criticize the Islamic faith you are nonetheless a bigot per the forever clueless ADL.
Real life demonstrating again that truth is stranger than fiction. Not even a close call. And I will close here by noting and asserting that the whitewashing of evil, which occurred with Marxism, with Nazism and continuing with Islam to this very day is, a la Ayn Rand and others, the SINGLE greatest error that mankind has ever engaged in.

Your comment Wellington is a big bullseye, a hitting of the nail firmly on the head. Thank you.
Wellington says
Your most welcome, rooare.

This alertness and need for good security is important because since the new year has arrived of Islamic terrorism is still with us, be the threats in the form of cyber threats or physical threats of jihad violence so we still should not live in fear or be afraid to go different places and do different things
Nevertheless, but still be aware of our surrounding and be on the outlook for anything that seems not to look quite right As in “What’s wrong with this picture?”. Then if some wrong is seen then go and tell the right person about it, as a police officer. This may be summed up well as a former US President who declared “Let the eye of vigilance never be closed.” – Thomas Jefferson

Wonderful. Americans now get 50% more jihad for their money. I don’t believe the fighting them over there so we don’t have to fight them over here plan is working very well.

That’s Pete Hegseth’s line, however it makes no sense to fight them over there if you were going to let them in over here. A much better strategy is to ban entry of an ideology whose adherents are opposed to free will, freedom of the religion, freedom of speech, gender equality and equality of citizenship. We should begin by disputing their false claim to be a religion and we can do that both here and there.
As Obama said, no religion condones killing. Given that Islam not only condones but mandates killing for the “crime” of not submitting to Islam then, a fortiori, Islam is not a religion. I would also add that no religion promises a carnal Paradise where men have permanent erections and women are permanent play things, used for pleasure.
Conceding that Islam is a religion is an attack on true religions. Muslims are leaving Islam in droves precisely because they understand that Islam is not a true religion. This should be encouraged.
gravenimage says
Sadly, a number of religions have condoned killing.
This from Obama was nothing but Taqiyya.
tgusa says
Terry,
My, I don’t believe the fighting them over there so we don’t have to fight them over here plan is working very well comment was sarcasm because, you are right, it makes no sense if we are letting them in over here.
“Paradise where men have permanent erections”
I wouldn’t necessarily call that Paradise, annoying, irritating, yes.

Remember that the end of Viagra, Cialis or Levitra commercials warn users about contacting their doctor if they have an erection that lasts longer than four hours…

Arrests usually happen after a protracted period of police investigation. Police investigation time casts money.. State prosecutor’s time costs money. Court time costs money. If the defendant is convicted, a prison sentence costs as much money as a premium hotel or an expensive school. Also, any one case theoretically takes scarce resources away from other deserving cases, which could cost other people money. So, has anyone added up the cost of tolerating muslims in western societies? And how many people have suffered as a result of resources being switched away from them to cope with problems being created by muslims?

These are very good questions that ought to be addressed by authorities. Of course authorities are deterred by fear of being called Islamophobic.

Yes–Osama bin Laden stated that one of the major goals of 9/11 was to bankrupt the United States. I can only imagine how much Islam has cost the civilized West since then.
Giacomo Latta says
”Domestic Islamist Extremism Arrests and Plots in US Jumped 50%”
And the number of immigrant muslims rose by the same percentage over the same period? I detect either an increasing efficiency or a hardening attitude by these followers of Barry’s peaceful religion.
Carolyn Marlin says
Sir will Dems import more muslims in 2020???
rooare says
This increase in violence by Muslims as their population in an area increases has been repeated for 14 hundred years yet the west continues to bring them in, seems a bit stupid and/or insane now doesn’t it.
OLD GUY says
The more islamic people we allow to inter the U.S. the higher the number of terrorist attacks will take place in America. Islam is a political “religious” ideology that’s lends itself to dictatorship type rule that you find in most if not all muslim countries. Stop the migration invasion of islamic /muslims into our country, they bring little if anything of value to our society.
mortimer says
ADL should remember that when the JIHADISTS COME AFTER ADL, their people will have no one left to defend them!
ADL is foolish to make friends with the jihadists.
