ISIS in our US army. A Hawaii soldier, Ikaika Erik Kang, has been arrested for pledging allegiance to the Islamic State terrorist group and vowing to slaughter in the cause of Islam.
Ironically, the Sergeant First Class ISIS soldier, a 2001 graduate of Kaiser High School, enlisted in the Army in December 2001, just months after the 9/11 attacks. The kicker is while facing terrorism charges he was a recipient of terrorism service medal.
DoD jihad denial and avoidance makes such conversions inevitable. Our lack of civilizational self esteem coupled with loud demands for respect for Quran and Islamic texts and teachings will lead to more such conversions. Soldiers are commanded to show deep respect for the Quran, not the Bible. Any desecration of the Quran or accidental destruction of any part of the Quran leads to stiff penalties.

Kang received extensive combatives training and achieved Level IV tactical Combat instructor
status,which gives KANG the ability to serve as an instructor in combatives to other soldiers. “Combatives” is a style of Hand to hand combat. He was also a mixed martial arts expert. Kang videotaped these “combatives” sessions so they could be used by ISIS fighters to train other fighters.
According to the criminal complaint he was reprimanded on several occasiosn for “threatening to kill other soldiers and service members.” He regulatory argued pro-ISIS while at work and on-post. So why was he allowed to reain in the service? He had his security clearance temporarily revoked but it was reinstated shortly after.
Kang told a confidential informant that Hitler was right, saying he believed in the mass killing of Jews.
He had “SECRET” files on his computer and approximately 486 documents that referenced ISIS, ISIL, and/or violence. These documents included 13 issues of the ISIS doctrinairee, Inspire Magazine. One issue was entitled Assassination Operations, and another entitled “Targeting.”
Kang spoke of a civilian that he wanted to torture and kill. Kang said that if he ever saw him again, he would tie him down and pour Drano in his eyes.
The criminal complaint (see below) charges the infantry man “attempted to provide material support to ISIS by providing both classified military documents, and other sensitive but unclassified military documents, to persons he believed would pass the documents to ISIS.” Kang contributed to the purchase of a drone with the intent it would be provided ti ISIS during fighting.
The FBI “believes that Kang was a lone actor and was not associated with others who present a threat to Hawaii.” “A lone actor” — yes, along with hundreds of millions of other “loner actors” waging jihad in the cause of Allah.
FBI: Hawaii soldier with ties to ISIS threatened to ‘kill a bunch of people’
By Hawaii News Now, July 10th 2017:
HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – An active duty Hawaii soldier who was arrested for allegedly trying to provide material support and training to the Islamic State terrorist group told an undercover federal agent Saturday that he wanted to “kill a bunch of people.”
A criminal complaint alleges that Ikaika Erik Kang, 34, was arrested at his Waipahu apartment Saturday, shortly after pledging his loyalty to ISIS and making the threatening statement.
“A probable cause arrest was made in the interest of public safety,” Honolulu FBI Special Agent in Charge Paul D. Delacourt said Monday, after Kang’s first appearance in federal court. He added, “We believe that Kang was a lone actor and was not associated with others who present a threat to Hawaii.”
Delacourt said Kang’s arrest came after an investigation that lasted for more than a year, and involved multiple agencies.
Kang, who has two registered firearms and extensive “combatives training,” is assigned to the 25th Infantry Division at Schofield Barracks.
A criminal complaint alleges that he “attempted to provide material support to ISIS by providing both classified military documents, and other sensitive but unclassified military documents, to persons he believed would pass the documents to ISIS.”
FBI officials said no classified materials actually ended up in the hands of the terrorist group.
The complaint also alleges that Kang expressed interest in fighting overseas for ISIS, and offered an undercover agent purporting to be a member of the group training and other support.

Clifford Kang, Ikaika Kang’s father, says he’s shocked to hear about the allegations against his son.

FBI officials said no classified materials actually ended up in the hands of the terrorist group.
The complaint also alleges that Kang expressed interest in fighting overseas for ISIS, and offered an undercover agent purporting to be a member of the group training and other support.
‘I’m just in shock’
Kang, a 2001 graduate of Kaiser High School, enlisted in the Army in December 2001, just months after the 9/11 attacks.
His father, Clifford, said he’s shocked by the allegations against his son.
“I’m just in shock. He’s a great kid. He’s not real outgoing, he’s never been, but neither was I,” Kang told Hawaii News Now. “But other than that he’s a great kid, a normal kid who grew up in Waimanalo.”
His father also believes his son may be suffering from PTSD from his tours overseas.
Ikaika Kang was deployed to Iraq in 2010, and served in Afghanistan in 2014, according to his military service record.
He also was a recipient of the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal. He worked as an air traffic control operator with the Army.
FBI: Kang wanted to fight for ISIS
A criminal complaint filed in federal court Monday an FBI forensic review of Kang’s computer found classified military documents and hundreds of items that referenced ISIS and violence.
Kang allegedly told an undercover FBI agent that he wanted to travel overseas to fight for ISIS.
“People still say it’s illegal to join them, but the way I look at it is they’re just fighting people who are committing genocide there,” Kang told the undercover agent, according to the complaint. “I’m just going to go there … and fight these guys who are committing genocide.”
According to the complaint, Kang on Saturday also said he wanted to “kill a bunch of people” — the same day he pledged allegiance to ISIS.
Kang allegedly swore a pledge of loyalty Saturday with an undercover agent.
Additionally, the FBI said, Kang contributed to the purchase of a drone that he thought would be used by ISIS. And he allegedly offered training to an undercover agent who purported to be a member of the terrorist group.
Kang made his first appearance in federal court in Honolulu on Monday afternoon, and remains in custody.

A few years in a military prison with appropriate treatment for traitors will adjust his attitude, even if it is only that he will not want to ever go back.

He has committed sedition, a death penalty offense. Why is he not being tried by court martial?

A soldier in HAWAII pledges to IS, and the Hawaiian State government is challenging Trump over travel ban
Is it merely a coincidence, or something even more sinister going on, something like Marawi of the Philippines?

And get this …This jihadi gets Medal for war on terror while working as “Air traffic controller” !
Left/liberal Loons want to bring in more of these savages and then act surprised at the increase in jihadi attacks, rapes, assaults.
Don’t be surprised when the Left/Liberals start honoring ISIS, hamas jihadis just the way Islamonazis in America are demanding Americans do http://bit.ly/2qvcHov
MSM will not talk about it ……nor will they be deported for insulting US military & supporting jihadis.

You might wish to consider how useless is the U.S. military today when “Soldiers are commanded to show deep respect for the Quran, not the
Bible” and “Any desecration of the Quran or accidental destruction of any
part of the Quran leads to stiff penalties.” Then you have National Security Advisor, General Henry McMaster and General Matis informing us that ISIS’s beliefs and savage conduct “pervert Islam” when in fact they reflect Islam and the Quran in their purest vile form. So what these U.S. military personnel now believe is a load of mentally retarded rubbish, but that is what the U.S. military is encouraging its military personnel to believe. I despair when reading about such utter garbage or when listening to it from McMaster and Matis. The U.S. military needs a massive purge.

Why do we need to swear allegiance to any ‘religion’? We should be able to swear to ourselves that we will uphold all that is good and that we will adhere to the common laws of decency and civilization. Islam is a ‘religion’ of savagery , hate and suppression. Good for the weak minder and those with a lust for rape and slavery. Join ISIS and Islam and get a free licence to kill, rape and destroy. Why would any sane person choose death over life and happiness?? Isalm is a disease that has to be destroyed.

And yet Canada welcomes back these vile men who have murdered and raped. It’s new leader, Justin Trudeau, even reinstates their citizenship and has given $10.5 million to the murderer of Sgt Speer, a U.S. army medic in Afghanistan. I wonder how long Donald Trump will continue to regard Justinass Trudeau “a good neighbour”.

This sort always gives themselves away when their enthusiasm and arrogance get the best of them. I was in a top secret outfit during Vietnam and any drug one might desire was readily available in the war zone. Sure enough, four guys with an obvious and suspicious anti-war hippie attitude got busted for taking heroin out of the war zone and were busted by NIS (now called NCIS) upon their arrival in Japan. No one ever saw or heard from these guys again.

I’m not surprised about this Hawaiian First Sergeant supporting ISIS, but I am very surprised that the United States Army didn’t take his access to Classified Material away permanently and confine him behind bars while he was being investigated! Obviously that was NOT a Politically Correct action since he was a racial minority! Hopefully the United States doesn’t go to war with anyone, not even Bangladesh, until we have “sorted” out our Armed Forces and determined WHO are loyal Americans and WHO are not….since we may lose!

Rather hire South African mercenaries than waste time with the present U.S. military. In 3 months a few hundred of them did to Boko Haram would the entire Nigerian Army had failed to do in 6 years! They take no prisoners and are not shackled by the utterly idiotic, politically correct crap being instilled in U.S. military personnel. The U.S.will fight the Muslim enemy half-cocked as long as this disgusting Muslim-sympathetic crap continues.

Honestly Muslims should not be in western armed forces nor should they have any roles where if they turned rogue they could cause significant harm. The Koran tells them to kill us. If they follow that book they should not be soldiers

A muslum in the 101st Airborne division fragged members of his own platoon while they slept. A f’ing muslum in the USN gave ship berthing information to Al Qaida to facilitate the bombing of the USS Cole. Then we have major Hassan (of Ft. Hood fame).

I agree, the whole matter is just so stupid. Muslims by the nature of their Islamic beliefs will not remain loyal. How many more Western servicemen need to die before this sinks into the thick head of men like General ‘Mad dog’ Matis?

Precisely why islam should be declassified as a religion and the koran recognized as a cult manual.

Obama’s military and F.B.I. in action again! Where are the charges for treason and sedition? How many others have infiltrated the ranks-or do we really know because they strive so hard to not offend Islam, remove the Bible and honor he Koran? What could, possibly, go wrong? Why can we not learn basic, commonsense lessons from Ft. Hood and other Islamic terrorist attacks within their own ranks? America, still feel safe?

Obama is not president.
We’ve had a new Commander in Chief, one of the few Constitutional jobs allowed a president of the United States, for six months now.
Trump desperately needs an authentic constitutional expert in his immediate cabinet. Kris Anne Hall would be an excellent choice.
He’s allowing his ignorance of our founding documents to tie his hands.

Of course I realize whose president and that’s precisely the point!
The rest of your post is spot-on!
Since Obama is gone, there’s absolutely NO EXCUSE for bringing aboard his minions and holdovers (Mattis, McMaster and Kelly among others) who have no clue about Islam and civilizational jihad.
So our military looks no different now than it did under Obama (who made a deliberate mess of our military as and integral part of his ‘radical transformation’).

Well said, not least about the clueless Mattis, McMaster and Kelly. The ignorance of these men regarding Islam is appalling. All spout the same drivel about ISIS and al Qaeda perverting Islam. Where the devil did these knuckleheaded men get their instruction about Islam? The Muslim Brotherhood perhaps? Trump needs to wake up to this danger. He’s got right numbers of things since becoming president, but right now the U.S. military is a shocking mess that in respect of Islam couldn’t fight it’s way out of a wet paper bag. This needs to change dramatically.

“Where the devil did these knuckleheaded men get their instruction about Islam? The Muslim Brotherhood perhaps?”
The MB has infiltrated government and our military at all levels (thanks to BHO and Hillary). Trump is preoccupied, these days, with saving his own hide (as I feared would happen) and, unfortunately, I think the dye is cast against him and the men we named will remain, to the detriment of our nation.
Therefore, no real ‘war against terror’ (Islam, Muslims, Jihad, etc.) are no longer mentioned, by name, any longer. The MB still has not been designated as a terrorist organization (and I doubt they ever will).
The future does not look very bright for America. My trust is not in men, but God through Christ.

It’s now evident that the U.S. military is heavily infiltrated by dedicated Muslims who are teaching U.S. military a pile of crap about Islam. One thing is evident, the U.S. military is shackled by politically correct nonsense and a huge purge is necessary, but with General Matis spouting utter nonsense about Islam it’s highly unlikely to occur. Robert Spencer once instructed the U.S. military on Islam and must despair watching the military going to hell with its reverence for Islam and contempt for the Bible.

Islamists are all around us, like the air we breath because all three branches of federal government thugs put them there.
They keep putting them there.
Because either they don’t know our constitutional law(common sense) or they’re choosing not to follow it, for nefarious reasons.
Local city governments and the criminal agencies they pay to aid them, keep putting them there.
Apathetic or irresponsible citizens do nothing while the next jihad lottery is planned, and the next, and the next.
They keep allowing them to be put there.
