California Muslim accused of attempting to join ISIS arrested in Tunisia

12

Even though it has suffered territorial losses, the Islamic State (ISIS) continues to be appealing to some Muslims, even Muslims in the United States. What is never discussed in news stories such as this one is where Bernard Raymond Augustine, who is apparently a convert to Islam, learned his understanding of Islam. Where was he recruited for ISIS? Are authorities going to wave this question away by claiming he was “radicalized on the Internet”? That may be so, but if so, why was it even possible? If he learned peaceful Islam at his mosque in California, and if that is true Islam, why was he even susceptible to Internet radicalization? Has his mosque been investigated? Why not?

“Officials: California man accused of attempting to join ISIS arrested in Tunisia,” ABC13.com, February 28, 2018:

Officials say an American man from Keyes accused of trying to enter Libya to join ISIS has been arrested.

A law enforcement official told ABC News Bernard Raymond Augustine, 20, was returned to the US from Tunisia on charges of attempting to provide material support to terrorism…

Court records revealed he told US customs officials upon departure he was intending to travel to Tunisia for vacation….

A search of his computer revealed a song that extols ISIS and messages Augustine allegedly sent praising the terror group.

LOL ! Agree. passport and citizenship should be cancelled of all these jihadis and then tell the country they are in to shoot them !

If they come back have military court trial for enemy combatant and if confirmed as jihadi supporter sendt them to firing squad. ….or this menace will only get worse.

If you speak the truth about islam and the perfect man they’ll find you and “keel” you like the muslims in Indianapolis are trying to do https://tinyurl.com/y9wb4j39

…and these are the “moderates” !

As Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said on many occasions islam is islam. Many other well known muslims say the same thing.
There are no moderate or radical muslims, just muslims. The radicals do the wet work and the moderates cheer them on and finance them. That may be a crude way of putting it but it is the truth. Islam is a criminally savage political agenda masquerading as a religion. Invented by a brutal warlord nothing more nothing less. Western Civilization must accept that truth or we are done. Western Civilization is being out maneuvered (stealth invasions) and out populated.

That’s ONE guy. We’ve got so many aliens/criminals entering daily, who needs him ? The only thing he’s got going for him is he’s a U.S. citizen,so he is entitled to due process,on American turf.So they have to send him back here.

This poor guy should have gotten back to mexifornia where they would have had sanctuary from those evil police who want to separate him from his family. After all, mexifornia politicians have told us they warn and give sanctuary to criminals to “keep families together.” This animal must have thought he would get sanctuary from his crimes everywhere he went.

My experience working as a correctional officer taught me one thing, there is no brilliance behind bars.

There is a recent news story about a guy who applied for a job in the US and his finger prints got him indicted because they were on file as having been found at an al-Queda training camp in Afghanistan shortly after 9/11.
