Illinois: Muslim Man Arrested At O’Hare International Airport Trying To Join ISIS

It seems to me that the authorities would have been wiser if they had allowed him to leave and never return. Instead, they’re forcing this jihadist wannabe to remain in the land of infidels — and likely on the tax-payer’s dime — where he now has no other choice but to declare his “Allahu Akbars” on American soil, even if behind prison bars. But this shouldn’t be comforting. It should be concerning. After all, behind bars is precisely where the Oklahoma beheader was introduced to the teachings of the “greatest” man to ever live, and we all know how that ended …

Qur’an Sura 4:95, “Not equal are those believers [Muslims] who sit (at home) and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit (at home) …”

By Michael Walsh, NY Daily News – “A suburban Chicago man was charged Monday with attempting to travel overseas to join the Islamic State.

Mohammed Hamzah Khan, 19, of Bolingbrook, was arrested without incident at O’Hare International Airport after being questioned by FBI agents Saturday.

The alleged wannabe terrorist left behind a three-page letter for his parents explaining his actions, according to the criminal affidavit.

‘My dear parents, there are a number of reasons I will be going to the blessed land of Shaam (another name for Syria) and leaving my home,’ the letter reads.

He allegedly wrote he feels an obligation to migrate to the region now that the Islamic State has “been established,” referring to the terrorist group’s self-declared caliphate.

Khan also raged against what he considered the decline of western societies, the affidavit said.

‘We are all witness that the western societies are getting more immoral day by day. I do not want my kids being exposed to filth like this,’ he wrote, according to the FBI.

The letter was signed ‘Your loving son, Hamza (Khan’s middle name.)'” Read more.

Flashback: Oklahoma Beheader Likely Radicalized Behind Bars – “The family of Oklahoma beheading suspect Alton Nolen has expressed shock at how the ex-con raised in a Christian home could have committed such a gruesome crime, but experts say he fits the profile of a growing number of jihadists forged in the crucible of America’s prison system. Nolen, a Muslim convert with a lengthy rap sheet, is accused of beheading Colleen Hufford, 54, and stabbing another former co-worker at a Moore, Okla., food processing plant on Sept. 25. He reportedly shouted Koranic phrases as he carried out the savagery …” Read more.

Flashback: High Rate Of Conversions To Islam In American Prisons – “In addition to immigration, the state, federal and local prisons of the United States may be a contributor to the growth of Islam in the United States. J. Michael Waller claims that Muslim inmates comprise 17-20% of the prison population in New York, or roughly 350,000 inmates in 2003. He also claims that 80% of the prisoners who ‘find faith’ while in prison convert to Islam. These converted inmates are mostly African American, with a small but growing Hispanic minority… In a 2004 report, the Justice Department faulted the prison system for failing to protect against ‘infiltration by religious extremists.’ However, the report made clear that the problem was not radical chaplains, but, rather extremist inmates running worship services.” Read more.

Flashback: Prisoners Under Pressure To Convert To Islam By Muslim Gangs – “Inmates at HMP Whitemoor told researchers commissioned by the Ministry of Justice that they changed their faith for protection or because they were bullied into it. Prison guards said they had a policy of “appeasement” towards the powerful and growing Islamic population, particularly convicted terrorists who were feared to be recruiting future extremists. Non-believers avoided confrontation with any Muslim in case it led to retribution from the wider group, and said they even avoided cooking pork or bacon in communal kitchens …” Read more.

“Rise Up!”: ISIS Caliphate Calls Upon Like-Minded Western Muslims “To Cause Terror In The Hearts” Of Non-Muslims At Home

How odd, an entity that has absolutely nothing to do with Islam invokes the name of Islam’s deity, quotes portions of Islam’s holiest book and calls upon Muslims to obey the commands of Islam’s “prophet” in order to wage jihad for Islam’s cause …

Qur’an Sura 3:151, “We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve …”

Qur’an Sura 4:76, “Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah …”

The Algemeiner – “A new Islamic State video released titled ‘Message of the Mujahid’ calls on Western jihadists unable to travel to territory controlled by the terrorist group to conduct attacks at home. The message also offers a pointed rebuke of British Prime Minister David Cameron and the U.S.-led bombing campaign.

‘A message to all of the brothers who cannot do Hijrah, I advise you to respond to the call of the sheik, the mujahid (Holy Warrior) Mohammed al-Adnani, to cause terror in the hearts of the kuffar (unbelievers),’ the unidentified Islamic State spokesman said. ‘You are living in the West, you can cause terror in the hearts of the kuffar, right in the center of the kuffar in the center of all that shirk (polytheism), you can cause terror right from within.

‘So unlike us, you can cause real damage right within the heart of Dar al-Kuffar (Land of Unbelief), so rise up my brothers. Rise up!’

He starts out the video mocking Cameron and the Western leaders for thinking they can defeat the Islamic State with bombs dropped from the air, chiding them that if they were ‘real men’ they would send ground troops to fight them.

‘You know that in the hearts of your men, they’re cowards,’ the spokesman says. ‘So America, you think you are a superpower, when in fact if you were a superpower, you wouldn’t need these 40 nations to come and fight us.’

‘Know that all power belongs to Allah, and Allah is with [the pious Muslims], so you could send your planes above us, but know that Allah is above your planes,’ he continued. ‘You are fighting people who love death more than you love life.'” Read more.

Flashback: ISIS Terrorist: ‘We Are A People Who Love Death … Who Love Drinking Blood’ Of Enemies – “An Arab-Israeli member of Isis (now known as the Islamic State) has claimed that the terror group takes pleasure in ‘drinking blood’ of its enemies. Rabie Shehada, otherwise known as ‘the Palestinian slayer’, spoke openly in a new video of the Islamic group’s love of death. ‘I swear we are a people who love death for the sake of [Allah] just as you love to live,’ says Shehada. ‘I swear we are a people who love drinking blood. We came to slaughter you,’ he adds. ‘We love dying for [Allah] as much as you love life.’” Read more.

“Bent On Destruction”: FBI Head Says Al-Qaida Cell May Be Planning To Attack America “Very, Very Soon”

Al-Qaida was on the run alright, but in a completely different direction than what Barack Obama wanted everyone to believe …

Proverbs 1:16, 4:16-17, “For their feet run to evil and they hasten to shed blood… they cannot sleep unless they do evil; And they are robbed of sleep unless they make someone stumble. For they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence.”

• Flashback: ISIS Caliphate To Hamas: Before We Support Your Fight Against Israel, We Must Attack America First

FBI Director James Comey

Associated Press – “An al-Qaida cell in Syria that was targeted in American military airstrikes last month could still be working on a plan to attack the United States or its allies and is ‘looking to do it very, very soon,’ the head of the FBI says.

‘Given our visibility we know they’re serious people, bent on destruction,’ FBI Director James Comey said.

The Khorasan Group, a small but battle-hardened band of al-Qaida veterans from Afghanistan and Pakistan, was the target of U.S. strikes near Aleppo, Syria.

In an interview broadcast Sunday on CBS’ ’60 Minutes,’ Comey said the militants were ‘working and, you know, may still be working on an effort to attack the United States or our allies, and looking to do it very, very soon.’

Senior U.S. officials have not said whether the group’s plots have been disrupted.

Comey said the U.S. believes there are about a dozen Americans fighting alongside extremist groups in Syria. He said if someone has fought alongside the Islamic State militant group and tries to come back to the U.S., ‘we will track them very carefully.'” Read more.

Flashback: American Fighters In Syria Are Coming Home — And U.S. Intelligence Can’t Find Them – “The number of American extremists who have flocked to Syria is higher than previously understood, American intelligence sources say. And some of the fighters are coming home… The latest U.S. intelligence estimates say that more than 100 Americans have joined the jihad in Syria to fight alongside Sunni terrorists there. Senior American intelligence officials tell The Daily Beast that they believe between six and 12 Americans who have gone to Syria to fight Assad have now returned to America. ‘We know where some are,’ one senior U.S. intelligence official told The Daily Beast. ‘The concern is the scale of the problem we are dealing with.’” Read more.

Flashback: ‘A Dangerous Pattern’: Obama’s America Is Partnering With Al Qaeda In Syria, ‘We May Come To Regret Our Syrian Policy’ – “It is a twist of fate, or perhaps by design, that President Barack Obama’s Syria policy puts America in league with al Qaeda and other hardline Islamists helping to oust another dictator. We may come to regret our Syrian policy. Our policies that help Islamists are becoming a dangerous pattern for American Mideast interests.  Remember, President Obama called for the ouster of former Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and now that country has an anti-American Muslim Brotherhood-run government.  Obama joined NATO’s efforts to oust Libya’s dictator and as a result we got the Benghazi consulate attack tragedy and another Arab country brimming with Islamic extremists and criminal militias. The same is happening with Syria.” Read more.

Children From West Africa With “Ebola-Like” Symptoms Hospitalized In Florida And Delaware

It may turn out to be nothing, but the fact that they’re from West Africa does raise eyebrows …

By David Mccormack, Mail Online – “A teenager from West Africa who became sick while visiting Florida caused Jackson Memorial Hospital to go on high alert on Sunday amid fears that they may have the deadly Ebola virus.

Officials said the patient took a taxi to Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach after he became sick with flu-like symptoms. Miami Beach Fire Rescue then transferred him to Jackson for further tests.

Although a firm diagnosis takes 48 hours, medical experts said the probability of Ebola in this particular case is extremely low.

Authorities were however taking no chances on Sunday and called in the hazardous materials team, reports the Miami Herald.

Several police cars and rescue vehicles ringed Holtz Children’s Hospital at Jackson and the unit was quarantined for two hours following the teenager’s transfer.

‘It’s important to point out that this patient did not meet the Centers for Disease Control case definition for Ebola, but the test is being conducted out of an abundance of caution, and health officials expect the test to rule out Ebola,’ said Florida Gov. Rick Scott on Sunday night.

‘Florida still does not have any confirmed cases of Ebola, and we hope we never do, but we are taking every preparedness step possible to keep our citizens and our visitors safe.’

Authorities haven’t disclosed the patient’s name or said which West African country he arrived from, or when.” Read more.

Child From Liberia Brought To Delaware Hospital For Possible Ebola – “Officials at Bayhealth Kent General Hospital in Delaware say a child was brought to their emergency department over the weekend because of possible symptoms of Ebola virus. Officials say the child, who is from Liberia, was brought in on Saturday and was given an assessment from the staff following the CDC guidelines for identifying suspected cases of Ebola. It was determined by the CDC the likelihood the child has Ebola was low, so the CDC decided not to test the child after they were notified. Officials say the child will continue to be observed in the hospital until it is determined they can be released.” Source – CBS Philly.
