My latest in PJ Media:
While the New York Police Department zealously guards Mayor de Blasio’s infamous “Black Lives Matter” street graffiti in front of Trump Tower, other, more serious endeavors continue that, if the city had a rational mayor, might actually have a better claim on the NYPD’s time and resources. Those include Islamic jihad terrorism.
Last Tuesday, a New York-based convert to Islam with the emphatically Christian name of Jesus Encarnacion got 15 years in prison for attempting to aid a jihad terror group.
The Justice Department’s account of his activities makes for hair-raising reading, and reminds us yet again that Bill de Blasio, like other Leftist mayors and governors, is chasing phantom problems (Russiagate, the USPS “scandal,” and many, many more) while there are real and pressing troubles that warrant his attention.
Jesus Wilfredo Encarnacion, heedless of the fact that many, if not most, Americans, at least those on the Left, take jihad terrorism to be yesterday’s news and no longer a threat to the United States (if it ever was), was a fearless keyboard warrior who called himself “Jihadistsoldgier,” “Jihadinhear,” “Jihadinheart,” “Lionofthegood.”
Ercarnacion, however, was not content to wage jihad only on his computer screen. He got his prison sentence for plotting to join a Pakistani jihad terrorist organization, Lashkar e-Tayyiba (LeT), which has carried out numerous jihad massacres, including the infamous Mumbai attack of November 2008, in which jihadis murdered 172 people. The State Department considers LeT to be a Foreign Terrorist Organization.
Audrey Strauss, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, explained that “Jesus Encarnacion plotted to travel abroad, to join and train with Lashkar e-Tayyiba, infamous worldwide for the jihadist murder of innocent civilians, and to carry out shootings, bombings, and beheadings in behalf of that terrorist organization.”
Traveling overseas was not actually Encarnacion’s first choice for his jihad. He told someone he thought was a fellow Muslim but was actually an undercover FBI agent that he wanted to carry out “a bombing and shooting” for Allah in the United States, but didn’t have either the “guidance” or the “guns” he thought he needed in order to do so.
There is much more. Read the rest here.
bev says
When are people going to wake up and realize that in order to be a good Muslim you must kill for Allah?
mortimer says
Not exactly, bev, but killing for Allah will guarantee entrance to paradise. Most Muslims conduct jihad through lying and dissembling about the meaning and methods of jihad. About 99% of jihad is deception about jihad.

I wonder why CNN no longer will show the documentary of the Mumbai bombing any more, complete with at least one phone handler. it was very revealing. Can we get them to show again?

You could call or write them, jule.

The Jihad Terrorist in New York City You Heard Nothing About

*Deeply disturbing*.
Ray Jarman says
When I first read his last name, Encarnacion, I thought it was a made up name and I read Incarnation and then I realized that it was actually Incarceration which made perfect sense. At least he will be incarcerated for fifteen years unlike the UK, Canada or most of the EU nations where he would have probably have been considered mentally unstable and was not responsible for his actions. I love most of the nations I mentioned but they need to start taking action against those who have avowed and even attempted jihad against those who offered them sanctuary.

“Do unto others, as they would do unto you.” He would bomb or shoot us, so let him be shot ASAP; it’s safer than bombing him.
Converts to Islam can be more dangerous than people born into Muslim families. People who choose to convert to Islam are choosing to join a terrorist organization that advocates a totalitarian doctrine commanding the violent overthrow of all secular government including ours. For some of them, the religious component might even be incidental to their real goal, in this case committing violence and destroying the existing civilization.
Dude says
The scriptures were poorly thought out. If you have committed sin, then the only way you can recover and get to the eternal sense pleasure in paradise is by doing exactly what this and every other idiot wants:
“Nonetheless, he emphasized to the agent, he was ‘ready to kill and die in the name of Allah’.”
Even others who think they have not sinned will want to die while killing so they can go to paradise immediately, and not have to wait like everybody else until no non-islamites are left on the planet.
Such stupid irrational ideas unfortunately seem logical (whatever that means) to your average inbred desert thug, who lives on a world that is flat like a carpet which is held in place by mountains, that ends at the horizons in murky puddles. Akbhar kill kill! What else is there? Die now, then party forever. That is spiritual life: Kill and Die Akbhar!

After Hagia Sophia, Turkish authorities issued a new presidential decree on Friday morning AUGUST 21, 2020 to convert the Byzantine Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Saviour in Chora into a mosque.
Originally built in the 4th century, the church was comprehensively rebuilt around 1077-81 and again after a partial collapse following an earthquake early in the 12th century.
The church is registered as an Unesco heritage site.

Military intervention is required or Turkey will destroy every Christian heritage in Anatolia. Anatolia is an important place for Christianity. It is one of the first places that Christianity has spread by Saint Paul of Tarsus. If Christian governments don’t act against Turkey, the country will be enough to eradicate every heritage about Christianity. But of course dhimmis will never act against Turkey. They always sold weapons to Turkey and Turkey commited crimes against civilians and humanity with that weapons. After that, I do not think they would take action against Turkey.

Yes–this ugly story has also been covered here.
Walter Sieruk says
We may all be sure of terrible reality that the jihadist/ Muslims of ISIS are very serious about having arson Islamic terror/murder attacks in America and therefore there’s a need for the public to corroborate with the police.
Nevertheless, we ,as Americans , should not live in fear nor be afraid to go to different places or do different things out of being afraid of an ISIS jihad attack . For to live in fear would make the jihadists of ISIS happy.
Still, even though we need not live in fear we should be alert and aware of our surrounding as likewise be on the lookout for anything appears wrong or out of place. As in “What’s wrong with this picture?” Then if anything is seen that doesn’t seem right then go and inform and right person about it.
For example , that tee -shirt vendor in New York City , at times square, who saw some smoke come out of a parked van .So he went a told police officer about it. As it has been said “If you see something, say something.” This may be put in another way, be the words of a former US President, Thomas Jefferson, For his wise words apply, even more now, then they did in his own time. For Mr. Jefferson declared “Let the eye of vigilance never be closed.”
