Ohio: Muslim pleads guilty to plot jihad terror plot to kill President Trump and his immediate family and bomb July 4th parade

14

Respect it, islamophobes, or the left will destroy your good name, your life and anyone connected with you.

How did this ‘misunderstanding’ of Islam become so widespread? Converts understand Islam in this terrible way. Where are Muslims in the US (or anywhere) teaching against the jihad terror and sharia oppression? 

Right now, nothing is being done to stop jihad recruiting in US mosques. Genuine programs to teach against this view of Islam are long overdue.

Man pleads guilty in plot to attack Cleveland on July 4

An Ohio man pleaded guilty Tuesday to crimes related to his plot to launch a terrorist attack on a July 4 event in Cleveland last year.

Demetrius Nathaniel Pitts, 50, pleaded guilty to attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization, placing threats against the president of the United States and threats against the president’s family members, the Justice Department said in a statement.

Authorities had been monitoring Pitts since 2017 after he expressed a desire to recruit people to kill Americans and said he wanted to meet with an al Qaeda “brother.” He was ultimately introduced to an undercover FBI agent who Pitts believed was a member of the terrorist organization.

“I’m trying to figure out something that would shake them up on the 4th of July,” Pitts said, according to an affidavit of the case. “What would hit them at their core? Blow up in the, have a bomb blow up in the 4th of July parade.”

Pitts later conducted reconnaissance in downtown Cleveland, taking pictures of areas he was considering as targets.

A review of a phone Pitts gave the FBI official included two videos in which he pledged allegiance to al Qaeda and four videos of him pointing out potential targets such as the federal building, the Coast Guard station and St. John’s Cathedral, which he said could be taken “off the map.”

“And I’m gonna be downtown when — when the thing go off. I’m gonna be somewhere cuz I wanna see it go off,” Pitts, who intended to use a truck bomb similar to that used in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, told the undercover agent.

Pitts also pleaded guilty to threatening to kill President Trump and his immediate family members, namely Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 11 and is likely to be given 14 years in prison followed by a lifetime of supervised release.

He was first arrested in July 2018 just days before Independence Day. He has previous criminal convictions dating back to 1989, including a jail stint for a 1993 robbery.

deported christians back to ISIS to be slaughtered after they tried to make it to America

Not a religion. It’s a cult. Pure and simple. The cult known as “Islam” was pieced together by nomadic Bedouins roaming around in the deserts of Saudi Arabia.

“A review of a phone Pitts gave the FBI official included two videos in which he pledged allegiance to al Qaeda……” Before he gets sentenced, I hope he is given the “Dumb F**k Criminal of the Year” award as a suppository.

Islam is at war with us! Moslems like Pitts are enemy agents that should be imprisoned or executed.

Ooh look, he’s got that tell-tale bump on his forehead, gotten by incessant head-banging prayer – the mark of the devout!
