Five U.S. Men Try to Join the Jihad

Posted on December 11th, 2009 - By Bossip Staff

The plans of five men from Alexandria,Virginia have been foiled by the authorities. The men were arrested in Pakistan on Tuesday for allegedly trying to join an extremist Jihad organization.  The men were hopeful that they would be selected by the Jihad  so that they could fight the U.S. military in Afghanistan.

The men contacted extremist organizations, including two with links to al-Qaeda, and proudly told their Pakistani interrogators, “We are here for jihad.”

The five U.S. men, who are all Muslim, had been trying since August to join the Jihad. They researched and reached out to extremist groups in areas where the Taliban trains.

The case has prompted concern about the growing threat of home-grown terrorism, but U.S. law enforcement officials cautioned that they need to do a more-thorough investigation before they reach the same conclusions as their Pakistani counterparts.

With the Fort Hood Shooting that took place last month, and now this latest incident with five U.S. citizens trying to fight against the U.S., do you feel that the threat of home-grown terrorism is getting worse?

    Wow……there are too many instances of muslim-americans running to fight FOR the other side. One day americans of all colors will not trust muslims anymore (black or white, american born or not). It’s already happening in europe…….

    May god have mercy on us all

    Americans in general do not trust each other.

    Please, look around you. You think Muslim’s are singled out? That process was catalyzed by ignorance and top-notch media. Muslim families do not, in the core of their religion, believe in murder at ALL. With children being shot, black on black crime, white on white crime, pink on red, blue, and purple crime, where is this image of trust that you see in the US?

    We live in an individualist country, and eye for an eye. We love money, not one another, so don’t tell me that Muslims are the ‘other’ and that it’s us against them. They are greater united by their religion and respect for their God than Americans are under one flag. Face it we have little in common and that is why there is no trust. We need to get like the Muslims and join each other’s sides.

    Bingo!

  • BastetsMeow

    Sorry Excuse Me but I have to say if Muslims are being singled out it was by ignorance and top-notch media…..

    Yes, the majority of muslims are loving and peaceful. However the fringe, radical adherents of the religion is what will ultimately (finally) unite all americans regardless of race or creed. It happened just after 9/11. It’s the actions of these radical muslims that are singling out the whole islamic community. Americans are reading more and more of the horrors of sharia law and other islamic practices that affecting the whole world (FGM, honor killings, widespread misogyny and discrimination, and the list just goes on and on). These same practices are being done in Europe.

    Sorry Excuse Me, but it’s muslims singling themselves out by their very actions alone. And then they have the abject nerve to cry “racism” and “hate crime” when they don’t get what they want not only in america but in europe and other countries as well. In the meantime, Islamic countries forbid churches, synagogues and other places of worship being built. Hypocrisy much?

    Yes I do agree with you on one thing…..Americans, as well as the rest of western civilization must unite like muslims are united under their allah to put an end to this craziness.

    Shoot ‘em in the head, next story?

  • Excuse Me

    The majority of those who are “crying racism and hate crime” are not Islamic extremist. They are your neighbors, your Muslim neighbors, living peacefully in your neighborhoods attempting to be released by the stigma that extremists have attached to their religion. The same way minorities world-wide try to prove that they are human just like everyone else and good and bad is not in your associations but in your hearts.

    My post was not in defense or representation of Muslims. They have little respect for Americans, our respect and peace with us is the last thing they seek. Them being singled out is only a burden on you because they gain strength. Know your enemy before you point the gun.

    There is no way in hell the world is to collectively fight Islam. This is a religion to be respected. As is Christianity. One of the world’s oldest and largest. There are many a nation where Christians and Muslims coexist.

    I recommend you brush up on your global politics and history. This is more than a religious brawl. See where the motives and funding are directed from. Your “enemy” is fighting what your American leaders may not be fully revealing to you.

    what a shame.
    This gives Muslims a bad name.

  • BastetsMeow

    Isn’t Islamic history steeped with blood? Probably moreso than Christianity & Judaism combined. This is more than a religious brawl? I would say it’s 50% religious brawl and 50% geopolitics = 100% trouble.

    I have brushed up on my history and Islam has been disrespecting other religions since its birth so much so that Saudi Arabia (Islam’s birthplace) forbids the building of other places of worship in the country even to this day. Being caught with a bible is grounds for imprisonment. Don’t even get me started on the misogynistic sharia laws for women…….what God condones that?

    The mistake that the US ever did was telling bin Saud back in the 30s, “Hey you have a great deal of oil under your sands”……it has been a downhill one-sided relationship since then, one in which the US seems to be losing.

    Oh and India now has over one billion people. thats alot of poor soldiers.

  • Its6amHoGetOut

    oh and Somali Ninja, go fix your home country first then try and tell us super americans what to do. Your home country doesnt even have a government thats why those pirates are runnin’ rampant over there. And just what airport parking lot do you work at again? Everybody knows all Somalians work at the airport except that bama lola luv b*tch.

  • Rrrrroe Ski Love- A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

    @Excuse Me Your statement says it all. The Koran will tell you the story of Sarah and Abraham just like the Bible. Abraham showed committment to God when he was going to slay him, but God had him slaughter a lamb instead. God promissed him that his offspring would lead a nation (that nation is Islam) On the other hand he told King David basically the same thing (that is the Christians) God keeps his promisses, therefore this is why we as Christians and Muslims worship the same GOD, but not in the same way. My Gods name is Yahway and Father and I AM and Elohim. My saviors name is Jesus, your saviors name is Muhammed who both serve the same GOD that we both worship. There can only be 1 creator of the heavens and the universe. There cannot be two GODS who created the same thing. Worship your GOD in peace and I will worship my GOD in peace (Muhammed said ah salama lakum) Jesus said peace be with you, they both have they same definition.

    @ BastetsMeow
    You’re basically saying Islam is a religion of hate and violence. EPIC FAIL!!!!!! Read of Qur’an and you’ll know the true meaning of Islam. You obviously are intolerant! As a african-american you should know better than to judge others when you have probably experience racism and discrimination yourself.
    @ Its6amHoGetOut

    I read in the WashPost this morning that one of the men is a dental student at Howard and is the alleged ringleader of the group. Scary.

    NPR had a segment this morning on the arrests and reported about the fear of the growth of homegrown terrorism, spurred by sites that are recruiting supporters for the Taliban and other extremist groups.

    Here’s a link to the suspects’ photos: npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2009/12/mosque_youth_leader_jihad_wann.html

    @ White male you forgot one, its a little known verse buried in the text but here goes.

    There’s is a holy war, but its not beween christans jews and muslims. There’s a holy war between people who believe in God and the Elite who are trying to destroy religions and garner a new world order!

  • Somali Ninga

    @ Excuse me
    I agree w/ the ethnocentrism comment! We all need to come together :D

  • j

    could be that these home grown terrorists are on the rise but lets hope thats not true fuk these jihad clowns

  • leila

    Somali Ninga…

    your arguing with an AA’s…esp on history…i suggest you find something more benefical to do.

    btw somalia unlike ever other african nations were known for thier bravery and drove the colonizers out of their country…thats what makes us quite different than the other nations.

    if your going to argue with someone…please let it be someone whos got a history of some sort of glory and power…no offense…but african americans failed africa…and themselves…sellouts

    6am…lol your attempt of making fun of beatiful defined, unique features of a somali…

    i suggest you help your country first…you know black america…i just came back from dteroit…i was disgusting by the differences in black and white , its almost like the whites have built a wall to keep you blacks away…

    stop hating…stip selling drugs, and go to school.

  • leila

    and white male…

    stay away from the church…its a sincere advice for your well-being, and safety…

  • turkishjamaican

    leila..preach dat realness but angela lola looks ethiopian c mon u know that…

  • white male

    @leila

    I go to church sometimes and it seems very harmonious and good to me. I like it and there is no negativity there, only charity and singing.

    @ SOMALI NINGA
    THANK YOU finally someone intelligent enough to read between the lines. So many people are so racist that they easily feed into this whole MUSLIM vs Christian vs jew theory but really its the believers of a higher being against the non believers and if we dont wake up fast the Elite atheist will outlaw all religions. They’re doing it little by little like in france and denmark but since its against MUSLIMS no one says anything. Until they say “well we cant do the MUSLIMS like that these rules should be fair across the board so every religion will have the same limits”. These blind sheep will be the ones that let the world end being blinded by their ignorant racist mind.

    @ SU, Al-Humdulilah thank you for your wise and intellectual comment. I couldn’t have said it better. JazakAllahu Khairan!!!
