Three Muslims living in the United States just offered up guilty pleas in a plot revolving around terror.
Specifically, they pleaded guilty to one count of financing terror, by concealing their roles in giving thousands of dollars to Anwar Al-Awlaki.
The story developed in 2015, when four men with ties to Ohio State University were detained for questioning by authorities:

The money siphoned to Al-Awlaki was ultimately used to support a terror plot against U.S. military personnel.
The U.S. Department of Justice reports the news (thanks to Jihad Watch):
Ibrahim Zubair Mohammad, 38; Asif Ahmed Salim, 38; and Sultane Room Salim, 43, pleaded guilty this week to one count of concealment of financing of terrorism, for their roles in concealing the provision of thousands of dollars to Anwar Al-Awlaki in an effort to support violent jihad against U.S. military personnel in Iraq, Afghanistan and throughout the world.
Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers, U.S. Attorney Justin E. Herdman of the Northern District of Ohio and Special Agent in Charge Stephen D. Anthony of the FBI’s Cleveland Division announced the pleas.
A fourth defendant, Yahya Farooq Mohammad, pleaded guilty last year to one count of conspiracy to provide and conceal material support or resources to terrorists and one count of solicitation to commit a crime of violence. Farooq Mohammed admitted to conspiring to travel to Yemen to provide thousands of dollars, equipment and other assistance to Al-Awlaki. He also admitted to soliciting an undercover FBI employee posing as a hitman to kidnap and murder U.S. District Judge Jack Zouhary. He was sentenced to 27 ½ years in prison last year.
Ibrahim Mohammad, an Indian citizen, studied engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign from 2001 through 2005. In or around 2006, he moved to Toledo, Ohio, and married a U.S. citizen. He became a lawful permanent resident of the United States in or around 2007.
Asif Salim, a U.S. citizen, studied at Ohio State University between 2000 and 2005. He became a resident of Overland Park, Kansas, in 2007. His brother, Sultane Salim, is also a U.S. citizen who resided in the Chicago area from 2006 through 2012, until he moved to the Columbus area, according to court documents.
The three defendants who pleaded guilty this week acted to conceal supplying funds to Anwar Al-Awlaki in 2009. Al-Awlaki, a key leader of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, advocated violence against the United States and supported and was involved in attempted terrorist attacks against civilians, according to court documents.
Farooq Mohammad travelled with two other people to Yemen in 2009 to meet Awlaki. They were unable to meet with Awlaki, so instead travelled to Sana’a, Yemen, to meet with one of his associates. Farooq Mohammad and his two fellow travelers gave the associate approximately $22,000 to be given to Awlaki, according to court documents. The money Farooq Mohammad provided included approximately $17,000 that had been provided by Asif and Sultane Salim in the United States. Ibrahim Mohammad facilitated the transfer of the money to Farooq Mohammad overseas for him to take to Awlaki in Yemen.
After law enforcement began investigating the financial transactions involved in the funds provided to Awlaki, Ibrahim Mohammad, Asif Salim and Sultane Salim attempted to conceal the source of the funds provided to Awlaki by lying to investigators and deleting emails from their accounts that were related to the transactions.
This case is being investigated by the FBI. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Matthew W. Shepherd and Michael J. Freeman of the Northern District of Ohio, and Trial Attorneys David Smith and Gregory Gonzalez of the National Security Division’s Counterterrorism Section.

Confiscate every penny and property from these moHAMmadans. Ship them and their relatives and associates OUT of America. Go to their mosks and ship thier “leaders” OUT of America. Demolish the mosk for teaching HATE and MURDER to non-muslems. This type of people are not wanted in America.

More good news is that my President pardoned Scooter Libby. Scooter Libby’s prosecution was evil and revolting. My President keeps giving us Christmas presents, from John Bolton to this.

thanks for the update underzog!
been avoiding the news for weeks for the most part.
James Comey is an Obama shithole who prosecuted people to make a name for himself. He prosecuted Martha Stewart for example. and I think Scooter Libby. Meanwhile, Hillary and Hezbollah had immunity.

I was going to mentrion the witch hunt against Martha Stewart, too as another malicious prosecution, but you did it for me. That was vicious what was done to Martha Stewart. A malicious prosecution driven by envy of a successful and talented person.

Aren’t nearly all Muslims financing terrorism through the money they give to their mosques and Islamic charities? I’m sure if the FBI investigated accordingly they’d reach the same conclusion.
This problem is far larger than a few random muslims caught in the act. Islam isn’t an innocent little religion like the Amish, it’s a global criminal fascist enterprise as well as a totalitarian political movement, it needs to be shut down.

It will remain a problem as long as the stupid courts keep giving them a slap on the wrist for this and other breaches.

The FBI has much more important things to do like find out how many times The Donald humped Stormy Daniels and find out if she faked an orgasam with him

I know that after 9/11 they cracked down on Muslim charities to finance terrorism. I have my suspicions that may have changed under Obama.

That may be true but in a limited way, he can ,via executive order, stop some aspects immigration such as the diversity visa lottery program, which he legally could end unilaterally.

“This case is being investigated by the FBI. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Matthew W. Shepherd and Michael J.

I just have to say I admire your Japanese macaques — those are some tough monkeys! Most monkeys live in sub-tropical or tropical climes where there’s plenty of fruit or humans to sponge off of, but your macaques choose live in the frozen wastes of JP. It’s no wonder they’re the dominant monkey of Texas and the bobcats now live in fear of them.

Japanese are very versatile, it is entirely possible to adapt to a new environment if so desired. It is only fools like muslims that have to recreate the garbage dumps they crawled out of when they finally do escape.

The Japanese Macaques sleep in trees in the dead of winter and have to march thru 3′ snow drifts just to get to their trees. I’d imagine they could live anywhere in Canada or Alaska — if it weren’t for the bears and wolves. It’s amazing they’re not more bitter or resentful. Someone should at least donate them some tents to sleep in during the winter.

So, since these muslums are non-violent they must be “moderate”, “decent” and “good” muslums right? It’s so hard to tell without a score card.
How many muslum “charities” directly or indirectly fund islamic terrorism?

We all pay the jizya. It’s hard not to fund terror/Islam. You would be shocked at how many Muslims pretend to be Greek, French, Italian, etc. and open restaurants and other businesses while going to great lengths to conceal the fact they’re Muslims. It’s not as easy as simply avoiding the neighborhood hookah bar.

The article says the Indian, Ibrahim Mohammad, studied engineering in the US. He must have worked in the US as he married an US citizen after graduation and needed to make money to pay the terrorists. So which companies did he work for?
