He apparently determined to support the Islamic State while in Kentucky. Has his mosque been investigated? Why not? He might have learned there that the Islamic State was legitimate. Does anyone know? Does anyone care?
“Kentucky man ‘who traveled to Syria to join ISIS’ appears in federal court to face multiple terrorism charges days after he was deported back to the US from Turkey,” by William Cole, MailOnline, December 21, 2021 (thanks to Henry):
A Kentucky man accused of travelling to Syria to join an Islamic State training camp has been charged in a US federal court after being deported back to the United States, the Justice Department said.
The federal court unsealed an indictment on Monday charging Mirsad Hariz Adem Ramic, a dual US-Bosnian citizen, with providing material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS).
The defendant was also charged with receiving military-type training from ISIS, the DOJ said.
Court documents claim Ramic, 31, of Bowling Green, Kentucky and two co-conspirators each left the United States for Istanbul, Turkey in order to support the Islamic State in 2014.
All three then purchased tickets to fly to the Turkish city of Gaziantep near the border with Syria. From there, it is alleged they crossed the border to join the Islamic State.
After joining, Ramic allegedly attended an Islamic State training camp where he received weapons and physical training and fired an AK-47, the DOJ said.
The FBI obtained photos of Ramic in Islamic State territory which depict him wearing camouflage clothing and standing in front of a pickup truck outfitted with an anti-aircraft gun and the Islamic State flag, the Justice Department added.
After joining the militant group, Ramic and his co-conspirators remained in contact with each other and discussed, among other things, Ramic’s presence in Raqqa, Syria, and his use of an anti-aircraft weapon to shoot at planes, according to the DOJ.
It was also reported one of the co-conspirators had twice emailed Western Kentucky University to say Ramic had traveled to Syria and joined the Islamic State group and now wanted its fighters to ‘conquer’ the US….
Michael Copeland says
He is a muslim white supremacist.
Jim says
That cannot be, as Muslims are a separate race and not white, and they can never do anything wrong, because to claim that is Islamophobic.
Walter Sieruk says
To explain the obvious that intentions of Muslim was to train and prepare for the violent bloody and deadly jihad against America , the American people as well as other Westerners .
Isn’t Islam a grand religion ?
Walter Sieruk says
That’s all very strange behavior for a man who is a follower of what some people still insist on calling a “non-violent peaceful religion.”

Why does this keep happening? You might almost think this has something to do with Islam…

Damn good questions. His family, Imam, and associates should also be investigated. But this would be “Islamophobic”…sarc/off

Why the hell was he deported *to* the United States? He is also a Bosnian citizen–send him back there.
At least he’s being prosecuted, but really he never should have been allowed back into America to begin with.
OLD GUY says
Sadly he is probably just one of hundreds of jihadist muslim/islamic men who have invaded America legally and through our southern border.
PMK says
The US should eliminate dual citizenship. If you are a citizen of another country, you cannot become naturalized without renouncing your prior citizenship. No man can serve two masters.
I also do not understand why traveling to another country to aid our country’s enemies is not treason. At the very least, his US citizenship should be revoked and he should be sent somewhere else.
OLD GUY says
AMEN
gravenimage says
PMK, the US does *not* recognize dual citizenship. Many other coutntries do, though which is why it is mentioned here.

I hope this intrigues authorities enough to investigate the muzslime mosques in Louisville.
