All the major Muslim organizations in the U.S. condemn the Islamic State (ISIS). So why, when Jaylyn Molina converted to Islam, did he fall prey to its supposedly twisted and hijacked understanding of Islam? Why wasn’t the peaceful, tolerant, true Islam that everyone assumes converts to Islam are taught in mosques in the U.S. able to withstand challenge from the supposedly un-Islamic vision of ISIS? Why isn’t Molina’s mosque being investigated? Why am I the only person in the country asking these questions?
“FBI: Man arrested in San Antonio for providing support to ISIS, discussing possible terror attacks on U.S. soil,” by Dillon Collier, KSAT, September 22, 2020:
SAN ANTONIO – A Gonzales County man arrested by the FBI in San Antonio this week is accused of providing support to ISIS and discussed carrying out attacks in the United States and overseas on behalf of the terrorist group, federal court records reveal.
Jaylyn Molina, who also refers to himself as “Abdur Rahim,” faces a charge of conspiracy to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, according to an unsealed criminal complaint filed in San Antonio….
A co-defendant, Kristopher Matthews, was taken into custody in Tennessee, according to a motion to unseal records in the case filed Monday.
What they are accused of doing
A 14-page criminal complaint states that Matthews, a resident of Elgin, South Carolina, who refers to himself as “Ali Jibreel,” used an encrypted messaging application last year to find an ISIS facilitator outside the U.S. to help him travel to Syria and recruit additional members who support ISIS ideology.
FBI officials became aware that Molina joined the same encrypted chat around April, and within weeks, he was using it to post manuals on how to train with an AK-47, records show.
The communication from the two men, which included ISIS propaganda videos, was being tracked by online covert employees, records show.
The criminal complaint states that the two men also used social media platforms, some public, to “radicalize and recruit other online users to join ISIS.”
In a series of social media posts this spring, Molina wrote that America was his enemy and posted an extremely graphic photo collage of an American citizen being murdered by ISIS members, the criminal complaint states.
In May, Molina posted images in the encrypted chat that provided bomb-making instructions, the criminal complaint states.
That same month in the same encrypted chat, the two men discussed where attacks on U.S. soil would take place, at which point Matthews said he preferred hitting economic centers and government buildings, including CIA headquarters, the FBI and DEA headquarters, records show.
As recently as last month, Molina and Matthews told covert employees in the encrypted chat that they could use a “multi wave attack strategy” to carry out the attacks….
Court records indicate that Molina is a resident of Cost, Texas, a small town located about 70 miles east of San Antonio….

Phew! Their present faith is much much more peaceful than their former one. Can anyone tell me why most converts are prone to jihad than none convert ones?
Steve says
My guess is they are desperate to prove themselves as “true” Muslims. I’m more pious than you, therefore, I will actively engage in Jihad.
william carr says
That is true. Converts to religion always try to show that they are as or more religious than those brought up in the faith. However we never, as far as I know, hear of converts to Christianity, Hinduism, Sikhism. Buddhism, Shinto etc. immediately turning to jihad. I wonder if those persons who choose Islam already have a penchant for violence and use Islam as an excuse/justification. Having absorbed the ‘false’ parts of the Quran previously.
After all in spite of the Moose Limbs denials they are quite easy to find!

Maybe we need the islamic version of the Darwin Award.The Golden Abdool.
The wise thing to do,given all we know about islam today, is to stay away from islam or do something else.This always happens when infidels join the Cult and suddenly decide to go all jihadi:they will always be under suspicion of being involved in terrorism.People are free to screw up their own lives but they cannot complain about it if they freely choose that path.
Giacomo Latta says
If you have a hate-filled soul and wish to kill everyone you don’t particularly like then the manual of hate, the koran, is just what you’ve been waiting for.
toomanyhobbies says
Religion (CULT) of what?
FYI says
“Ali Jibreel”,”Abdur Rahim”:yes yes,of course they need those essential new Arabic names to go with joining The Cult now that they are born again as ….Arabs.
{I’d choose something like “Aziz Azwas”:it has a nice ring to it.Or Abu Saif al Amriki.
Jibreel?That is so mundane}
Sylvia Drummond says
They don’t like to be called Mohammedans for some reason, which is what they are. They want to be called muslims.
Agostino Armo Pellegrini says
Man converts to Islam, plots jihad massacres…
Islam attracts losers like this guy, it’s a magnet for lost and angry souls who want to make hating and terrorizing their life’s goal. It seems an easy task to read into the minds of adult converts who terrorize for islam. They’re angry and bitter losers who are looking for victims to blame for their own failings, and islam is perfectly tailored for unhealthy thoughts in need of “moral justification.” Muslims who are brainwashed at an early age are a little different. They grow up believing that islam truly is of god; they lie, terrorize, subvert, or kill, to protect and propagate doctrines they sincerely believe are “holy” and divinely inspired. Fortunately not all muslims fully embrace the moral and spiritual retardation of islam, I consider them muslim in name only. But even they are a threat in my opinion, because when the time comes who will they side with? Well islam of course, because apostates are killed. If muslims don’t feel safe leaving islam when it’s weaker they sure as hell won’t leave when it’s stronger, that’s just commonsense psychology. And islam is getting stronger every day with the left’s help.
My point is that all muslims are an existential threat to us and our freedoms, whether they are adult converts, or brainwashed at an early age, or whether they are fairly indifferent to islamic teachings. Because in the end, when it really counts, they’ll all be against our freedoms and democracy. And our leftist appeasers only make matters worse with their grovelling support of islam. The left is encouraging islam’s paradigm of evil with their willing participation in its protection and propagation, and they do it for votes, money, and power. I’d say that it’s time for the sane world to start talking more frank about the idiocies in islam, like I do. No more pulling punches for a morally retarded religion, stop showing respect for teachings that are overtly terroristic for religious supremacy. It’s wrong to do such a thing, and it deserves the harshest criticism and mockery. And of course we must always stay vigilant about their incursions into our societies and the leftists who help them, their doctrinal poison is seeping into every nook and cranny of our nation(s).
Islam can never provide meaningful solutions to life’s problems. If you are feeling rage, or murderous thoughts, or depression, then I suggest seeking help from qualified people outside the violent, superstitious context of islam. Don’t try to alleviate your violent and hateful thoughts by turning to a violent and hateful religion, it will only make things worse. I think that’s good advice to give, even though I’m not in the mental health profession.

So true, Agostino.
James Lincoln says
Why have I never, ever read:
Man converts to Jainism, plots massacres…
Agostino Armo Pellegrini says
Something else we’ve never read:
Atheist rebels defeat agnostic stronghold and compel absolute denial of god–lol.
gravenimage says
Right on both counts, James and Agostino.
