Muslim convert charged with attempt to bomb Jewish synagogue in Florida

47

Another devout Muslim convert who wants to kill, blow up houses of worship, etc. 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?

“I am a Muslim and I don’t like what is going on in this world. I’m going to handle business here in America. Aventura, watch your back. ISIS is in the house,” the agents quoted Medina as saying in one video.

Notice the media silence on this. If a piece of bacon is left outside a mosque, Obama takes to the airwaves. Think Clockboy. But a synagogue bomb plot? *Crickets chirping.*

“Muslim convert charged with attempt to bomb Jewish synagogue in Florida,” Jonah Hicap, Christian Today 08 July 2016

James Gonzalo Medina says he wanted to become a martyr by attacking a synagogue in Florida.

A Florida man has been charged with attempting to damage a Jewish synagogue in addition to his previous indictment of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction against a person or property.

35998347

The new charge was filed against James Gonzalo Medina, 40, of Hollywood, Florida, on June 30 following an initial charge on May 2 of targeting the Aventura-Turnberry Jewish Center in Aventura, Florida.

If convicted, Medina faces life imprisonment.

His arrest was made through an undercover operation of the South Florida Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF).

Medina is accused of attempting to use an explosive device to destroy the synagogue.

Last March, Medina became the subject of surveillance by the FBI due to his conversations about attacking the Jewish centre.

Using confidential human source, the FBI was able to determine Medina’s plan where he expressed anti-Semitic views and identified the synagogue as his target.

The complaint said Medina wanted to use an explosive device to commit the attack. Medina allegedly studied the synagogue property to assess how he would carry out the attack.

Last April 29, Medina was caught in possession of an explosive device and was arrested while approaching the centre.

During his court appearance last May, the suspect told U.S. magistrate Judge William Turnoff, “I’ve got a few words of my own. … My name is James Medina, also known as James Muhammad,” according to the Sun Sentinel.

Prosecutor Marc Anton told the court that Medina had “interest in conducting an attack” on the synagogue by “obtaining a bomb he could either place under a car or throw it over the wall.”

Medina told investigators that he converted to Islam about four years and that he wanted the attack to look like it was done by the Islamic State or ISIS.

The suspect also told acquaintances that he wanted to make himself a “martyr” though the attack.

Medina also recorded videos to say goodbye to his family and make threats.

“I am a Muslim and I don’t like what is going on in this world. I’m going to handle business here in America. Aventura, watch your back. ISIS is in the house,” the agents quoted Medina as saying in one video.

Let’s not reduce ourselves to their level. A full stop to immigration until we get a handle on getting and deportation of all shariah adherents would be a great start.

The underlying problem has always been, and continues to be, the clear fact that Islam is a belief system that simply cannot function within free societies here and throughout the world. Their belief system has been interpreted by many within the community of Islam as supporting world domination thru what is referred to as “Jihad.” The silent majority in Islam, who claim only peaceful motives, are essentially irrelevant, and they have allowed their belief system to be captured by the terrorist believers among them. Therefore, the simple truth is that their belief system cannot safely function here and the evidence of that is the happenings throughout this world of the heinous conduct of those who rely on domination thru Jihad to promote their belief system. Why is that not obvious to the “politically correct” liberals, who turn away from the facts of life. Islam functions in the despotic countries where it controls the governments, and was never the kind of belief system that could function here. It is that simple.

The “silent majority” of muslums are the exact, same ones who have turned Dearbornistan, Michigan into a mini-Shari’a state in the USA and are hard at work trying to replicate this success in other US cities.
In Irvine, CA, CAIR backed a muslum candidate to the tune of a million dollars for a position on the city council.

Sharia law should be banned as it really is illegal to start with. No citizen has voted in an election to allow it much less require it. Islam should be removed as an anti-American subversive organization.

There is an online petition to the White House to, ‘Formally recognize Black Lives Matter as a terrorist organization’. In order to get a response from the White House, a petition must reach 100,000 signatures in 30 days. We have met that threshold, but I believe that getting as many signatures as possible will show our crooks in office that our voice needs to be heard. I believe we can get millions and have been working to make it happen. I signed it as soon as I saw it, which was Sunday night, and have been spreading it to family, friends, conservative radio talk show hosts, bloggers, just as far as I can. I’ll put the link to the petition below and humbly request you sign it and spread it as far as you can. Thank you for your time and God bless you and every Patriot out there.

A petition to the Presidential Palace re: BLM? It has about as much chance of success as petitioning the Soddy Barbarians to allow the practice of other faiths in Soddy Barbaria, because muslum tyrants don’t do democracy.

It has well over the 100,000 signature threshold necessary to get a response from the White House, but I believe we can get millions. The work will be long and hard, this is just the beginning, but it’s a civil approach to let them know we have a voice and it needs to be recognized and acknowledged. The choice is yours. I refuse to sit idly by and just watch as my country goes down the tubes. Apathy or a passive/aggressive approach will only lead to more oppression and more bloodshed. This is our start, our chance and we have to take it. God be with you, friend.

As of 12:52 pm CST over 132,000 people believe we can make a difference and I believe millions more will be joining. To sign the petition, I’ve included the link below. God bless all you Patriots out there and God bless America!!

I know a guy who lives in Los Angeles near the Israeli consulate, he will walk three city blocks out of his way to avoid walking anywhere near the Israeli consulate — and it’s not because he’s antisemitic or anti-zionist, it’s because he’s worried about islamic terrorism targeting the Israeli consulate.

Islam has proven itself to be incompatible, inn fact diametrically opposed to it. Islam has proven also that it is not a religion but a barbaric political system meant to dominate and subjugate. It should be banned here. In fact, it legally can be as an organization advocating overthrowing our government. It should be banned and any adherents that refuse to denounce it driven away. Democracy and Islam can not “co-exist” as you see so many bumper sticker saying.

To advocate for co-existence with those that would kill you? For real? You can not safely or for very long “co-exist” with Islam or BLM for that matter. They are both subversive and anti democracy and anti rule of law.

Where did this convert to Islam learn his Jew hatred? From his fellow Muslims.

The left wing Jews in Florida voted for Obama. How sad.

Jew hatred is part and parcel of the islamic faith. All of the holey books of islam ooze Jew hatred from every pore and the ahadith plainly call for the worldwide extermination of Jews.

Exactly, well said Pamela!
Why are so many devout newly minted Muslim converts receiving this “faulty understanding” of Islam if it’s so tiny a proportion that believes that way?
Obviously that “tiny” percentage is a ruse — closer to the truth is that there is only one Islam and most believe that is the way, even if only “a tiny percentage” are willing to fulfill that way of pleasing Allah, but choose other ways. They all certainly look up to the ones who do. Newly minted converts to any religion often have the most zeal.

Islam is no more than a CULT.
Because 1/4 of the worlds population believes otherwise doesn’t make it any more than it truly is.It ONLY proves that 1/4 of the worlds population are delusional and moronic.

Miracles are found throughout the Old and New Testament.Miracles that CANNOT be explained other than having beem wrought by GOD.
Islam’s ONLY known “miracle” is the koran,a book of lies.
There is absolutely NO evidence to prove the existence of this so-called “god” allah.
allah can kiss my ass and come and TRY to take my life.I spit on his so-called “prophet”.

I FEAR THE TRUE GOD,YAHWEH..
No man
No delusional follower of any false god or satan in disguise.
allah and his deluded idiots can head back to HELL from where they slithered out thru a break in the containment.
I make Silver Bullet Gun oil.[SBGO]
It contains 13% PORK GREASE.
Have since 2004.
If a jihadi/muslim dies contaminated by pork according to their voodoo allah beliefs, they are banned from his pedophile paradise.

I would prefer “head off.” The Book of Exodus
in the Hebrew Bible says, “The penalty shall be life for life, eye for
eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound
for wound, bruise for bruise.” I’m an ardent believer of it.

Just out of simple curiosity I looked this guy up and found he is not on the TSA no-fly list. What is the big deal about the commiecrats thinking it is a good mechanism for screening problem firearm purchasers early when wing nuts like this aren’t even on there? Same with Gitmo releasees. Don’t forget, it is the same list that had Nelson Mandela and Senator Edward Kennedy on it.

If you took all the shid in washington and put it in about a million cargo planes full of shid and dropped it all over the islamist world and a little bit of the shid dropped in each place so that each had a little bit of the shid for themselves it still would stink just as bad as it did as if it were with the entire load of the shid. That’s how it is with islamism – no lone wolf shid about it!
