The Muslim military veteran was a Muslim convert. Here again another Muslim convert “misunderstands” Islam in exactly the same way as millions of other Muslim “misunderstanders.” How did this “misunderstanding” of Islam become so widespread? So many converts to Islam get involved in jihad. This shows the falsity of the mainstream narrative that jihad has nothing to do with Islam. Why do mosques have so much difficulty training converts in the proper understanding of Islam, if jihad terror is a misunderstanding of Islam? And while Muslims in the US claim to condemn Islamic terrorism, where are they teaching against the ideology that gave rise to it?
Terror plot involving military veteran thwarted in Southern California, sources say
By Richard Winton and James Queally
A domestic terror plot aimed at “multiple targets” in Southern California was disrupted by federal and local law enforcement agencies, sources told the Los Angeles Times on Monday.
Story continues below advertisementOne man, described as a U.S. military veteran, was caught in an online sting operation and arrested by the FBI, according to law enforcement officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case with the media.
It’s unclear how far the plot got, but sources said the man had specific targets, including one in Long Beach. The sources said he had converted to Islam, but it was not known if that was related to the plot.
An official who said the plot involved “multiple targets” declined to elaborate further. A news conference to discuss the case has been scheduled for 1 p.m. in downtown Los Angeles.
Representatives from the U.S. attorney’s office for the Central District of California, the FBI, the LAPD, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and the Long Beach Police Department are expected to speak. A source in the Sheriff’s Department confirmed that the agency was involved in the surveillance and detention of the suspect.
The development comes less than 48 hours after a gunman opened fire inside a San Diego County synagogue, killing one woman and wounding several others in what law enforcement officials are investigating as an anti-Semitic hate crime.
Southern California has been the scene of several terror incidents.
In 2002, a gunman killed two people at a busy ticket counter of El Al Israel Airlines at Los Angeles International Airport.
In 2015, Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, entered a holiday gathering for county employees at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino and, using rifles purchased by a friend, killed 14 people and injured 22 others.
Authorities alleged that Farook and a friend had plotted additional terror attacks targeting students at a nearby community college and drivers on the 91 Freeway.

I lived in Long Beach, CA. There really are only two targets for a terror attack: 1) the Queen Mary, and 2) the Veterans Services Hospital. The smart guess would be the hospital.
I was notified this morning that a comment I offered on one of Pamela’s article violates Facebook community standards and was removed. Here is the offending comment in reference to one of the recent church or synagogue shootings:
“Poppycock! Muslims don’t need reasons or excuses to attack and kill infidels. It’s the sharia law. They are commanded by al’lah to kill, destroy, pillage, enslave, and rape.”
As Pamela says, “Truth is the new hate speech.”

The swamp wants the 2020 election to got to DEMS.
There is no reason for this to be going on as long as obvious as it has been going on.
Where is might TED CRUZ? Mr. Brilliant ? He’s quiet. With Trump’s help he was re-elected.
The swamp is sold on the globalist agenda. It is Trump against the world.

Only because he had too. Cruz hates Trump. He’s another Mitt Romney. I “voted my conscience” for Trump in the primary. Cruz is smoother than Rubio but they are cut from the same cloth. Cruz’s animosity for Trump was obvious when Trump held a rally for Cruz to get re-elected. There is no love for Trump from Cruz. Cruz resented Trump being there but needed his help. Trump likes to present a united front but the GOP is not united behind Trump.

Considering how Trump treated Cruz (Ms. Geller as well) and never apologized for said treatment Cruz should be complimented for supporting Trump.

Unfortunately, you are correct. We have been eyewitnesses to this fact for the last 2+ years.

Ted Cruz is still around. He recently made an interesting comment at the recent NRA-ILA leadership forum… Robert Francis Orourke raised a $80mil which was 3x more than Cruz. Undoubtedly that money was from some rich people and my guess is it was probably shady funding made to appear legal. Cruz mentioned that that meant Orourke had way more feet on the ground working for him that Cruz was able to manage (805 staff for Orourke versus 18 staff for Cruz). My guess is everybody assumed Cruz had the election in the bank and figured he didn’t need much support but then Orourke came in with way more resources making it an uphill battle for Cruz. That mobilization for Orourke generated more than 100% increase in voter turnout… 1.8 Million to 4 million voters for Orourke compared to 4.2 million voters for Cruz.
Trump has a few allies… but the swamp is deep. We’ll see if the AG whether Barr or who ever comes next will take action against the swamp creatures that tried to execute a soft coup. Some heads need to seriously end up in jail… and those things that weren’t investigated (IRS, Fast and Furious, etc.) need to be investigated properly and the wrong doers (it seems pretty obvious Lois Lerner and Holder are guilty) need to be put away. There can’t be 2 standards of justice… if there is, we the people need to take action and fix it!

Sadly, most Californians are still obsessed with “Islamophobia”, they will not care about this.

Most Californians hate Christianity – they are impressed that Muslims kill Christians world wide, and privately these Christian hating Californians dont see anything wrong with the Muslims doing the killing – at least for the present times.

When is the SPLC going to point out that the arrests are illegally frustrating religious expression of Jihadist Muslims? As in “The arrests are violating the perpetrators Constitutional rights to freely practice their religion” when is the SPLC going to sue over that?

The sources said he had converted to Islam, but it was not known if that was related to the plot.. Why else would a Muslim convert ploy an attack? How non sensical can they be? As Clooney says in his Nespresso ads “What else?”

In Los Angeles CBS/KCAL had a story about this dark-skinned perp last night, Tuesday, April 30, in which the anchor’s intro featured a picture of the white guy who shot people, killing one at a San Diego area synagogue a few days earlier.
Oooops! Another “mistake” by the fake news media.
All of our mainstream media are infested with angry, delinquent, desperate immigrants of all sorts, including muslims, who are so consumed with hatred and self-obsession that they absolutely believe pranks like that are their proper role.
And it’s not some incidental thing; the power and reach of TV is not to be underestimated. That momentary glimpse of the wrong perp, the white guy and not the brown guy, is how minorities here reinforce their racist doctrine against us.
And they’re not minorities anymore.
Certainly not in Los Angeles.
