US man allegedly wanted to kill American soldiers, arrested while trying to join Taliban
By Doug Stanglin, USA Today, July 27, 2019:
A 33-year-old American man living in New York City’s Bronx borough faces terror charges after his arrest at a New York airport while allegedly en route to join the Taliban in Afghanistan to kill U.S. soldiers, according to federal court documents.
Delowar Mohammad Hossain, who is originally from Bangladesh and later became a U.S. citizen, was arraigned Friday in federal court in New York City. He was arrested Friday at John F. Kennedy International Airport as he was about to board a flight to Thailand on the first leg of his journey to Afghanistan, prosecutors said.
Hossain is accused of allegedly trying to provide “material support” for the Taliban, a U.S.-designated terrorist group, by joining their ranks.

According to prosecutors, Hossain had been under surveillance since at least September 2018. He was allegedly recorded telling an FBI informant that “attacking the U.S. Army, attacking stuff like that is legitimate because the world is against the American government, not its people.”
At one point, according to court documents, he told the informant: “I just want to take a frickin’ machine gun and just shoot everybody and kill ’em all.”
More than 2,400 U.S. service personnel have died in Afghanistan since the U.S.-led coalition invaded the country after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The coalition sought to crush the Taliban and hunt down al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden.
In the past eight years, almost 80 Americans have gone abroad to join jihadist groups, CBS News reports, although most have sought to join ISIS or al-Qaeda in Syria and Iraq.

Wouldn’t you just know it? Delowar Mohammad Hossain is a banger from bangerdouche. “American man”, indeed.

Exactly, Achmed. He does not deserve to be called an American, regardless if he is a citizen or not. A MAC flight out over the Atlantic in the middle of the night, would do just fine to dispose of this garbage.

Rather akin to referring to the garlic festival shooter as a “white supremacist”, when he’s eyereenian. TOO freakin’ funny!

The left will still be pointing to “Islamophobia”. Their illusions are very difficult to pierce.

“In the past eight years, almost 80 Americans have gone abroad to join jihadist groups, CBS News reports,” Only 80? No, only 80 that was indiscreet enough to broadcast their intentions. Its probably 10X this number or more, and the survivors are all returning to the USA trained in combat and terrorism and thirsting for revenge.

More proof that the FBI knows all muslims are potential terrorists, and keeps the most faithful of them, under a modicum of surveillance, which has led to innocent Americans being slaughtered by an activated muslim. Their dereliction of duty is so fantastic, that Pamela Geller, reporting on the terrorist attack attempted by muslims at her Draw Muhammad awards function in Texas, reported that an FBI agent was on scene during the attack, video recording the whole thing. She knows this because local police arrested the FBI agent, thinking he was actually one of the terrorists. Had it not been for privately hired security by Geller, everyone at that awards ceremony would have been dead Americans on the Federal governments jihad lottery list.
