California: “Naive” Oakland Muslim Indicted For Aiding ISIS

His attorney said: “Amer is not anti-American and does not support ISIS or any other terrorist organization. He is completely nonviolent, and he took no actions to harm anyone.”

“He said Alhaggagi was ‘naïve’ and not aware of who the individuals were that he was communicating with in chat rooms.”

Who is he trying to kid? If you’re talking about aiding ISIS, you’re not naive. You’re complicit. You’re a traitor. You should get full punishment under the law for that.

“Oakland Man Indicted For Allegedly Aiding ISIS,” CBS SF, July 21, 2017:

OAKLAND (CBS SF) – A 22-year-old Oakland man, who allegedly met with undercover agents to plan a potential terrorist attack, has been charged with attempting to set-up social media accounts for ISIS, federal prosecutors confirmed Friday.

A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office said Amer Sinan Alhaggagi — who has been in federal custody since last November — was indicted on Thursday by a federal grand jury on several counts including attempting to provide social media accounts for the use and benefit of ISIS.

In a detention document filed in December, federal prosecutors told the court that Alhaggagi had spent significant time in Yemen and had allegedly met undercover agents on “numerous occasions to plan a potential terrorist attack.”

In a statement, Alhaggagi’s attorney August Gugelmann denied his client knowingly was involved in terrorism.

“Amer is not anti-American and does not support ISIS or any other terrorist organization,” the statement read. “He is completely nonviolent, and he took no actions to harm anyone.”

He said Alhaggagi was “naïve” and not aware of who the individuals were that he was communicating with in chat rooms.

“The evidence we have suggests these charges are based on internet chat conversations that he had with a number of unknown people,” the statement read. “Amer is a very young and naïve man, and it appears he allowed himself to be drawn into conversations that he should have been far more suspicious of.”

It appears in some of those chatrooms were either undercover government agents or cooperating sources, according to a protective order sealing evidence in the case that was filed in December.

The order read in part that the sealed evidence included “materials describing communications that occurred between the defendant on the one hand and undercover agents and cooperating sources on the other, whose identities remain confidential and non-public.”

In the detention order for Alhaggagi filed on Dec. 20, federal prosecutors told the court that the Oakland man was “both a serious flight risk and a danger to the community.”…

No Muslim is a “naive” , its the dumb Left/liberal ignorant loons who are naive.

Its not Russians but Dems and the Islamonazis and their supporters that are real theat to security.

And that includes the Islamonazi pope http://tinyurl.com/ydy8fkhl

Ever heard of a Russian terrorist attacking Americans with “Putin is Great !” . Till we see large number of Russians doing that we can talk about Russian threat to America.

As long as Americans stop creating nuisance in ukraine or supporting ISIS , alqaeda in syria like obama did , Russia has not interest in confronting America, let alone taking over it unlike jihadi immigrants

This is wrong. He should have been charged as an Enemy Combatant and placed in a military prison. Islam is at war with the U.S. It is a declared war by ISIS and most other muslim terrorist armies. Islamists have killed thousand of U.S citizens on U.S. soil. They have military training camps on U.S. soil.
Until congress recognizes who the enemy is, we will continue to be victims of a foreign enemy in our own country.

Can we please start deporting some of this garbage. Prison should be spent in a contract African prison so we can save the taxpayers some money.
