‘Model soldier’: US Army sergeant who plotted to attack his own military base in the cause of Islam and aided Islamic State gets 25 years in prison

63

Think Fort Hood jihad. A US Army sergeant, Ikaika Erik Kang, who kissed the Islamic State flag to pledge allegiance, got 25 years in prison for supporting the terror group. Kissing the ISIS flag. This act of war garnered 25 years of prison dawah, jihad recruitment and halal meals. He should have faced a firing squad.

Ikaika Erik Kang, described by former colleagues as a one-time “model soldier,” was sentenced to 25 years in prison at a federal court in Hawaii on Tuesday after pleading guilty to providing material support to the Islamic State militant group, a local news outlet reported.

Undercover agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation began meeting with Kang earlier this year, some of them posing as members of the militant group.

Kang gave them military gear and classified documents and agreed to teach them hand-to-hand combat in a video-recorded session, according to federal prosecutors.

Kissing the ISIS flag

Federal prosecutors say Kang agreed to swear an oath of loyalty to Islamic State, in which he kissed the terror group’s flag, in a pseudo-ceremony organised by the undercover FBI agents. After the ceremony, Kang told the agents he was ready to take his rifle to downtown Honolulu and start shooting, whereupon he was arrested.

Army solider who mulled attacking his own base in the name of ISIS receives 25 years in prison

– The Washington Times – Tuesday, December 4, 2018

A Hawaii-based Army soldier who talked of attacking his own base was sentenced to 25 years in a federal prison Tuesday, the Justice Department said.

Ikaika Erik Kang, 35, a Sergeant First Class, was stationed at the Schofield Barracks near Honolulu.

Court documents say Kang told a confidential source that he planned for a military transfer to the Middle East so he could join the Islamic State, better known as ISIS. He also told the source he considered launching a suicide attack on the Schofield Barracks in the name of the Islamic State.

Kang swore to defend the United States as a member of our military, but betrayed his country by swearing allegiance to ISIS and attempting to provide it material support,” said Assistant Attorney General John C. Demers. “With the sentence imposed today, he is being held accountable for his betrayal and his crimes.

Kang pleaded guilty earlier this year and agreed to serve 25 years in a federal prison and at least 20 years of supervised release.

U.S. District Judge Susan Oki Mollway told Kang his conduct was “extremely serious” and “had the potential to be disastrous.”

Prosecutors say Kang tried to provide the Islamic State with a training video of fighting techniques, classified U.S. military documents and military gear, including tactical equipment and ammunition. Kang is also accused of trying to provide the Islamic State with a camera-equipped commercially available drone.

However, Kang did not actually provide the Islamic State with any materials because the people he was in contact with were undercover FBI agents, not Islamic State sympathizers.

The documents Kang provided to the agents included classified air traffic control documents that describe call signs, aircraft types, route points, radio frequencies and procedures; the military’s “weapons file” which describes the armament capabilities of U.S. armed forces; and sensitive materials containing personally identifiable information of U.S. service members.

Kang became radicalized by at least 2016, regularly watching ISS propaganda and training videos, the Justice Department said. He is also alleged to have made numerous statements in support of the Islamic State.

The Joint Terrorism Task Force, the FBI and the U.S. Army Criminal Investigative Division investigated the case.

in WW2, we weren’t dumb enough to put people that looked like japs in with the regular army; they had their own group. the military in 2018 needs to wake up and do this with muslims

Kang was born and raised in Hawaii. He wasn’t a moslem until AFTER he was in the military. On one of his deployments, he became a moslem (the vilest of ALL creatures). “Kang told the paper that his son started studying the Muslim faith during one of his deployments …” The military simply needs to make being a moslem a hanging offense.

Yes. I wonder how either the Union, or the Confederate Army might have responded had they learned back then if there was a mooslime in their ranks. My guess, he would have been mixed in with the fire wood.

I saw a documentary on the Chosin Reservoir that had an interview w/a major who served in the ad-hoc regimental combat team of the US Army that was overrun. One of his non-comms, who saved his life, had served in combat with the Wehrmacht in WW2.

There shouldn’t be any moslems allowed in the armed services, the police force, or any kind of service like that.

Muslims Say Fallen U.S. Soldiers Should NOT Be Honored on Memorial Day
by Top Right News on May 24, 2016 in CAIR, Islam, Muslim Brotherhood, Muslims

by Gina Cassini | Top Right News

The Muslim Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has decided that Memorial Day should not honor those American soldiers who have died, instead, it should honor those Muslim terrorists who were killed by American soldiers.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a group labeled by the Justice Department as a U.S. Muslim Brotherhood entity and “un-indicted co-conspirator” in a terrorism-financing trial, disingenuously claims that it is a moderate organization.

How many people need to DIE?
This particular ideology posing as a “religion” can activate anytime with any Muslim.
Today’s “moderate” Muslim is tomorrows headline.
Have they investigated who his Imam is? Who else did he associate with?
Or is he just another mentally ill person who just happens to be a Muslim?
I am so tired of this insane denial.

He joins the list of muslum traitors who have served in the US military incl. but not limited to:
1. the muslum who fragged members of his own platoon in the 101st Airborned
2. the USN sailor who provided ship berthing information to Al Qaida (thus facilitating the bombing of the USS Cole in port)
3. Major Hassan of Ft. Hood fame

Who wants to bet that there are others but the incidents have been covered up by a corrupt media, military etc.?

In every WESTERN country where Muslims are in the minority, they are obsessed with minority rights.
In every ISLAMIC country with a Muslim majority, …there are no minority rights!

islam is NOT a religion of peace!!
islam is a sick and twisted terrorist ideology that is completely incompatible with western civilization!!

Deport all muslims, CITIZENS OR not, from the west at once!!
Ban all muslims from traveling to the west, …FOREVER
Implement muslim control, NOT gun control.

Defending your person, your family, your country from attack and invasion from those forcing a violent, terrorist, genocidal ideology on western civilization…is …not … islamophobia ….or racist. ….It is just common sense.

The people of Europe, Britain and Canada must throw down their treasonous leaders forcing this evil upon them.
