My latest in PJ Media:
I am not the renowned chronicler of all things Florida Man, Stephen Green, but it does seem as if Jonathan Guerra Blanco nevertheless deserves a place among the Florida Men, as he is among the first-ever jihad terrorists to join the hallowed ranks. (Omar Mateen, who murdered 49 people in the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando on behalf of the Islamic State in 2016, was the first, or at very least the most horrifically effective.)
The Miami Herald reported Tuesday that Guerra, who was born in Cuba and now lives near Fort Myers, is currently incarcerated in Miami and has been charged with providing material support to the Islamic State (ISIS). He was denied bail and is looking at twenty years in prison, although his lawyer, Ana Davide, said that he intends to cop a plea.
Guerra, according to the Herald, “was swept up in an FBI undercover operation that targeted an ISIS suspect known as ‘Confederate A’ who allegedly collaborated with him in producing promotional and recruitment videos that were distributed on the Islamist terrorist organization’s encrypted social platforms and networks, including ‘IMN1’ and ‘IMN2,’ a criminal affidavit says. Guerra’s alias was ‘Abu Zahraal-Andalusi.’”
The FBI stated that Guerra intended the videos to “incite and equip primarily Spanish-speaking followers to conduct operational attacks in support of ISIS.” He also worked on producing translations of the ISIS propaganda material into English, Dutch, French, German and Indonesian.” One of his videos threatened jihad massacres on subways in Spain, as well as attacks on the Spanish National Police. He was also responsible for the notorious article entitled, “Elabora una bomba en la cocina de tu Mama,” “How to make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom,” which al-Qaeda published a few years ago and the Boston Marathon jihad bombers followed when assembling their pressure-cooker bombs.
There is much more. Read the rest here.

Please complete the following sentence with the most likely scenario:
Man converts to islam and then:
1. Volunteers to work in a soup kitchen to help the homeless.
2. Helps an elderly disabled Jewish lady across a busy street.
3. Donates blood to the American Red Cross.
4. Joins Al-Qaeda.

America’s immigration problems may soon be behind us. If the Left gets its way, what used to be the USofA will be as u appealing as the rest of the planet.The only purpose would be to feast upon our corpse.
The price of this oh so clever fraud is the vacancy of legitimate governance perhaps terminating the American Experiment. I hope to go down fighting.

Florida Man Converts to Islam, Starts Making ISIS Videos
………………
Funny how often this sort of thing happens with converts to Islam. One might almost doubt it is a religion of peace after all…
Infidel says
Not just that, one never reads of this happening w/ Christians, Buddhists, Jews, Hindus, Zoroastrians, Sikhs, Daoists, Shintos, Confucians or Shamanists.
Just Mohammedans!
Jame says
Buddhists, Jews, Hindus, Zoroastrians, Sikhs, Daoists, Shintos, Confucians or Shamanists don’t terrorize others or commit jihad.
Lilith Wept says
Exactly my point! In the west we treat Islam as if it’s just another religion. Or even as if it’s an Abrahamic relihion, related to Judaism and Christianity!
But isoam is not like ANY other religion!
This list of how Islam is different, is long , but mainly ,
Islam is the only religion who’s Scripture and core, mainstream doctrine command that it’s followers use violence and terrorism to spread the religion as well as to punish non believers for refusing to accept and convert and for violating Islam’s laws.
Islam is the only religion that institutionalizes hatred of non believers, as part of its doctrine.
Islam is the only religion who’s scripture commands it’s followers to wage jihad (war ) against non believers , until,the end of time, or until,the world is conquered.
And this jihad can include things most religions regard as forbidden or sins such as various forms of deception, including outright lying, cheating, , rape, murder, harming non combatants such as elderly, women and children, abduction of non believers women and children, making non believers into slaves, arson, destruction of crops and food bearing trees and plants, destruction of non believers properties, especially houses of worship, and houses of non Islamic goverment…and infiltrating a clintries political,systen, pretending to support it while working to overthrow it.
Islam is a complete system, it’s not just religion. It’s a legal systen, a means for governing a State, ie a country.
So having said that Islam is not like other religions. Then why the heck are we still behaving as if it is, and treating Islam as if they were like other religions? Other religions who do not have violence as part of their Scriptire and doctrine?
Islam ends to be in its own, special catagory. We should do,this so that we can stop treating Islam as a peaceful,religion, and the violent aggressively expansionist ideology that it is. We need to remove the protection that our laws offer all peaceful religions.
Only then can we begin to address Islam’s violence. When we acknowledge that violence is an inherent part of Islam.
And Islam is not just a peaceful religion, but a system that is designed to spread itself through our the world, , by any and all means, the most abhorrent being continual violence and jihad against ALL non infidels, FOREVER!
The only way that Islam will,stop this jihad, this war of Islam against the rest of the world, is when Islam has succced in its goal of subjugating and conquering the entire world….or if we stop it.
Roger Woodhouse says
Its very attractive to psychopaths.
Dharam says
One religion of peace has become a haven for people with criminal tendencies.They know that if you convert and commit a crime, you are better off than if you don’t. There is a whole ecosystem out there to protect you, fight for you, bail you out of trouble.
OLD GUY says
If your heart is full of hate Islam is the perfect answer as it will direct your hate to do violence against others with a sense of righteous religious support.
Linda Rivera says
Huge numbers who convert to Islam are attracted by the violence, cruelty, savagery and barbarism taught by Islam. Their hearts and dark and their souls are evil.
Phil Copson says
Jonathan Guerra Blanco – my Spanish isn’t too hot, but given that “Guerra” = War, and “Blanco” = White, doesn’t that translate – roughly – as Jonathan White Terrorist ? Seems about right…..
