Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

The Jihad Plot Against New York City You Heard Nothing About

Sep 29, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer 9 Comments

My latest in PJ Media:

“Let it be clear, I am against America. America is my enemy.”

This was written in an online chat by a man in Texas, Jaylyn Christopher Molina, who has been charged with conspiring with another American, Kristopher Sean Matthews of Elgin, South Carolina, to commit “Netflix worthy” terror attacks at Trump Tower and the New York Stock Exchange, which they thought would gain them “rock star status.”

FBI Director Christopher Wray claimed Thursday that white supremacists were the biggest terror threat the country faced: “Within the domestic terrorism bucket, the category as a whole, racially motivated violent extremism is, I think, the biggest bucket within that larger group. And within the racially motivated violent extremist bucket, people subscribing to some kind of white supremacist-type ideology is certainly the biggest chunk of that.”

With antifa and Black Lives Matter burning down city after city and threatening and intimidating Americans on an increasingly frequent basis, while white supremacist terror has been conspicuously absent, Wray’s assessment was curious in the extreme and ignored not just the obvious threat from the Left, but the ongoing terror threat from the stalwart allies of antifa and BLM: Islamic jihadists.

After all, antifa and Black Lives Matter would do nothing but applaud the desire of Matthews and Molina to “hit government centers.” They could have been antifa operatives when they talked of hitting the headquarters of the CIA, the FBI, and the Drug Enforcement Administration. Molina wrote: “We need to stick together, we need to defeat them, we need to take a lot of casualties, a lot of numbers.” Matthews stated: “I would hit places like that to send a message.” Would an antifa member have stood up and told them that they must not talk that way, but stick to peaceful protest?

According to the legal complaint against the pair, Molina “also described attacking communications centers and plans to ‘fortify a town barrier and establish the first bases or establish a HQ.’” Did they learn that from antifa’s Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) in Seattle?

Meanwhile, both Molina and Matthews are apparently converts to Islam: post-conversion, Molina began calling himself “Abdur Rahim” and Matthews went by “Ali Jibreel.” They both pledged allegiance to the Islamic State (ISIS), discussed traveling to Syria to join up with the jihad group, and even tried to make contact with an ISIS operative who would help them get there. Molina pursued his jihad online, posting instructions on how to train to handle an AK-47 along with directions on how to build a bomb.

There is much more. Read the rest here.

    “Rock star status”?
    How vain and deluded.

    What the judge said to the shoe bomber:

    You are not an enemy combatant. You are a terrorist.
    You are not a soldier in any war. You are a terrorist.
    To give you that reference, to call you a soldier, gives you far too much stature. Whether the officers of government do it or your attorney does it, or if you think you are a soldier, you are not. You are a terrorist.
    And we do not negotiate with terrorists.
    We do not meet with terrorists.
    We do not sign documents with terrorists.
    We hunt them down one by one and bring them to justice.
    So war talk is way out of line in this court.
    You are a big fellow. But you are not that big.
    You’re no warrior. I’ve known warriors. You are a terrorist.
    A species of criminal that is guilty of multiple attempted murders.
    In a very real sense, State Trooper Santiago had it right when you first were taken off that plane and into custody and you wondered where the press and the TV crews were, and he said: “You’re no big deal.”
    You are no big deal.

    US Judge William Young to Richard C. Reid January 2003

      Michael, You say the judge wrote, “We hunt them [terrorists] down one by one and bring them to justice”. But unfortunately, that is one of the main problems. These jihad terrorists are treated like ordinary criminals committing individual civil crimes, and are brought to justice in the civil courts. However, their crimes are not just isolated acts of violence, but individual attacks within an ongoing guerrilla-style ‘holy war’ against all non-Muslims. We will only solve this problem when we begin to treat it like a war and involve the army, not the police.

      In a war. the first thing any commander must do is to identify the enemy; and the second thing is to determine the enemy’s motive for the conflict. And in all these cases, it is clear that the enemy is Islam, and its motive is the subjugation of all other religions and cultures, and the imposition of Sharia law. While individual Muslims commit the atrocities, the motive to do so is a fundamental plank of Islamic doctrine. Anyone who does not understand that core tenet of Islam could not possibly understand the threat that Islam poses to our national security, and should not be involved in any operation to solve it.

      And while individual jihadis are “no big deal”, collectively they are creating havoc in the name of their religion.

        Too right.
        A campaign is needed to introduce to the judges and lawyers of UK, Australia, and USA what you have just written.

          “Islam is government.
          Culpably and very reprehensibly, Western leaders fail to warn the public of this serious concern, and persist in treating Islam as a matter only of worship. Islam, though, is emphatically NOT restricted to worship. It concerns very public matters — territory, criminal law, punishments, marital law, restrictions on speech, second-class status for non-Muslims, rules of dress, diet and fasting — inflicted on all — and a host of other details. More than that, it contains the built-in command that it be imposed over everyone — by force if needed. The imperative is that it must displace all other systems. Our politicians have given us no inkling of this, and very probably have no inkling themselves.”

          From “Islam is Government”

        Aussie Infidel,

        Jihadi’s have:

        Means: any type of weapon, explosive device, etc.

        Motive: islam.

        Opportunity: a naïve enemy, “soft” targets, etc.

    “I am a traitor to America because my religion requires me to be one.” – Samir Khan

    Molina and Matthews evidently thought the same, but, as Robert Spencer frequently observes, this aspect is of no interest to the authorities.

    …………..

    No, I had not heard about this, which is insane.

    And while normal people consider rock stars to have “rock star status”, these vicious Muslims think that this belongs to mass murderers of innocent people.

    God, I hate Islam.
