American Muslim indicted for wanting to join US military to kill soldiers
American Muslim indicted for wanting to join US military to kill soldiers. A US-born Muslim from Staten Island, New York, has just been indicted for lying to the FBI about his true intentions to join the US military and then start killing US soldiers. 21-year-old Abdel Hameed Shehadeh faces three terrorism-related charges that involve his plan to join the US military only so he could fight against US soldiers. According to the complaint, Shehadeh plotted to deploy with the US military to Iraq, but once there to desert the military and then fight alongside Islamic terrorists against the US. Shehadeh is also an operator of multiple, radical and violent Jihadist websites that promote terrorism against the west.
The indictments from a federal grand jury only came down late yesterday, and they relate mostly to Shehadehs lying about his terrorist motives. Nonetheless, this is yet another case of a US-born Muslimwho you think should be
you know
assimilated and all thatrejecting his American nationality and choosing instead violent, Jihadist terrorism. The US Islamic community is always said to be better assimilated than the Islamic communities in other countries, and this is certainly true in that you dont see many, for instance, of the kinds of violent Muslim protests in the US.
