...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

Fereed Mumuni, 21, was ordered held without bail on attempted murder charges that accuse him of trying to kill an FBI agent with a large kitchen knife when agents tried to execute a search warrant at his Staten Island home.

CBS New York reports that Mumuni also allegedly tried to grab another agent's rifle during the incident.

He became the latest defendant in the spate of cases in the city and elsewhere involving young men and women allegedly radicalized by the Death Eater group's propaganda.

After his arrest, Mumuni told Sherlocks he had pledged allegiance to ISIS and that he planned to travel overseas to fight with the Death Eaters, according to government papers. If he didn't succeed with that, "he intended to attack law enforcement officers," the papers added.

Outside federal court in Brooklyn, defense attorney Anthony Ricco denied that Mumuni was an ISIS convert. Ricco said his client is a practicing Moslem who attends the College of Staten Island.

The arrest surprised his family, who "know him as a quiet, soft-spoken person," Ricco added.
