Homegrown Terror Threats Increasing, as Intel Finds Foreign Born Citizen-Jihadists Are Plotting Attacks Across America

20

Homegrown terrorism is a rising threat in America, as intel officials report arresting or convicting at least nine foreigners living in this country for terror-tied charges in just the past few weeks.

Most of these cases have gone forth quietly in the courts, with little mainstream media fanfare.

But cases of Islamic extremism in America are a rising threat, according to House Homeland Security Committee reports in recent weeks.

Remember September 2016, when three terror attacks hit the United States in one day?

Intelligence and police agencies warn more of the same could be on the way.

From the Washington Free Beacon:

Jihadist threats from homegrown terrorists in America continue to increase each month, with at least nine foreign born individuals living in the United States arrested or convicted in June of attempting to launch attacks on behalf of ISIS and other global terrorist organizations, according to newly released information by Congress.

“Cases of homegrown Islamist extremism in the U.S. continue to be an issue of concern,” according to the House Homeland Security Committee’s monthly report of terrorism in America, which has been tracking an increase in homegrown jihadists for some time. “Since 2013, there have been 154 homegrown jihadist cases in the United States” from at least 30 different states.

The information highlights the ongoing threat posed by rogue jihadists influenced by international terror groups, but not necessarily directly tied to them, which makes these would-be attackers more difficult to track for federal authorities.

The committee’s monthly report has tracked an uptick in this activity for some time, highlighting the federal government’s difficulty in thwarting terror plots across America. Domestic terror threats in the United States also have grown due to an even greater number of Western jihadists operating in Europe, where it is much easier to travel freely into the United States.

At least nine would-be jihadists were arrested or convicted of terror plots in June alone, amounting to more than one per week, according to the House report.

On June 20 alone, three would-be jihadists either pleaded guilty or were sentenced to providing material support to jihadists. The terrorists were in New York City, Ohio, and Alabama.

Domestic terror convictions and sentencing also occurred on June 1, June 4, June 11, June 13, June 21, and June 25, according to the report.

At least 10 plots were foiled in Europe over the same period.

They are equal opportunity killers. They don’t even spare christian aid workers in America who help settle them http://bit.ly/2rr9tGh

No other immigrant groups are so ungrateful as jihadis.

Murdering “Christian” aid workers may be just the slap in the face these folks need to get them to focus on the great commission and the Gospel instead of offering succor to invading pagans for filthy lucre. I’ll not be holding my breath…

While these qualify as crimes in reality they are acts of espionage and sabotage. These creeps really need a long drop on a short rope not jail. Until we start treating this problem as a religion based war (the country we face is Islam) it’s only going to increase…

Homegrown terrorism is a very serious crime, look at the Orlando shooter or the San Bernandino attacker, they were both born and raised in this country and lived and worked as U.S. citizens for many years.

Not to mention Demetrius Pitts, the African-American convert who planned an attack for multiple fireworks locations on July 4th this year:

And yet all of them fell prey to radicalism nonetheless.

On the San Bernardino moslem mass murderers, Farook was a U.S.-born citizen of pakky descent. However, the other mass murderer, Malik, was born in pakkyland. Malik was not a citizen … and I don’t believe that she held gainful employment.

My POS senator Feinswein in her recent ad campaign mentioned Sandy Hook, but nothing about the muslum massacre at San Bernardino, which happened to her constituents, or Orlando.

Obama along with the Muslim Brotherhood appears to have brought in their troops while their useful idiots cheered.

Sure there will be more muslum terrorist attacks but the real question will be is the F_I-b covering them up (cough, Las Vegas shooter, cough) or facilitating them (Garland, TX anyone?)?

Treason and sedition is what it is called , and those guilty should reap the highest price allowed in law as in Julius and Ethel Rosenberg .
