Suspected ISIS fighter from Dallas pleads guilty to terrorism charge, faces 20 years
A 23-year-old from Dallas accused of providing communication support for front-line troops fighting in Syria pleaded guilty Wednesday to conspiring to provide material support to terrorism.
Omer Kuzu faces up to 20 years in prison and is scheduled for sentencing in January, according to a U.S. Department of Justice news release.
Story continues below advertisementThe release outlined the following details:
Kuzu, now 25, said he and his brother, Yusuf, left Texas for Istanbul, Turkey on Oct. 16, 2014, and then went to Orfa, Turkey, where they were smuggled across the border into Syria. They ended up in Mosul, Iraq.
The two brothers and 40 other fighters underwent five days of physical and weapons training and were then sent to Raqqah, Syria, where Omer Kuzu started work at the ISIS telecommunications directorate.
In Raqqah, Omer Kuzu pledged allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and the Islamic Caliphate, and was given a monthly stipend and a Chinese-made AK-47, and that is where he also took an ISIS bride.
Omer Kuzu was sent to Kobani, Syria and Hama, Syria, where he provided communications support for ISIS fighters on the front lines and worked in the Caliphate’s technology center.
In March 2019, Omer Kuzu was captured by Syrian Democratic Forces alongside 1,500 suspected ISIS fighters. Omer Kuzu was handed over to FBI custody, returned to American soil, and charged with conspiring to provide material support to ISIS.
Omer Kuzu said he knew ISIS had been designated a foreign terrorist organization and that it engaged in terrorist activities.
“Preventing terrorism remains the FBI’s top mission priority. The defendant intentionally left the United States to join, train with, and fight on behalf of ISIS. The North Texas Joint Terrorism Task Force worked closely with our domestic and foreign partners to ensure the threat he posed was mitigated,” said FBI Dallas Special Agent in Charge Matthew DeSarno. “We remain vigilant in our effort to prevent terrorism as well as hold terrorists, and those who provide support to terrorist organizations, accountable for their actions.”

They moved to Qatar. and then I think they moved back again when his father’s Muslim political ambitions didn’t materialize – but not certain about them moving back to Texas and staying there. I hope they ultimately wind up living in Qatar.

The media and Obama thought he was a genius for wandering around with an old BROKEN CLOCK from Radio Shack. Only one person called him out on this – a puzzled MIT professor while other colleges and universities were impressed.

I don’t understand it… why isn’t he stripped of his citzenship if he is a U.S. citizen
Why are we ignoring treason if he is a U.S. citizen? He was levying war against our country? It’s clear more than two witnesses saw this happening. How is treason now defined? People guilty of far less had their citizenship stripped in the past and sent packing and in the old days shot in the military.

If he is not a U.S. citizen, punish him and boot him out! Make him an example one way or the other.

Yes he should be stripped of his citizenship – but then you have the problem if he is actually an American citizen and has family here.They sound like they are American citizens – yet one more in an endless list of examples of how islam is’nt compatible anywhere but in a muslim country – they should never have been allowed in in the first place.They’ve proven innumerable times over the past 1400 years they can’t co-exist anywhere but a muslim country.ANY muslim that tries to emigrate should be required to make a pledge of allegiance to this country – and ALL ITS STANDARDS/LAWS..

“make a pledge of allegiance”
Can’t do that because of
Quran 3:28
Pickthall translation
Let not the believers take disbelievers for their friends in preference to believers. Whoso doeth that hath no connection with Allah unless (it be) that ye but guard yourselves against them, taking (as it were) security. Allah biddeth you beware (only) of Himself. Unto Allah is the journeying.

Not only is a pledge of allegiance by a Muslim reasonably not to be taken seriously but any US oath of office. There’s a whole book arguing this:

PERSPECTIVE MUSLIMS SEEKING TO ENTER THE USA SHOULD BE MADE TO DENOUNCE THE IDEA OF JIHAD AND THE SHARIA WHICH IS PART OF THE KORAN AND HADITHS! ROBERT SPENCER ON FRONTPAGE MAG BY DAVID HOROWITZ DID A GREAT JOB SHOWING THAT ALL THE OBJECTIONABLE MATERIAL ARE RIGHT OUT OF THE KORAN ITSELF NOT HADITHS SUBJECT TO INTERPRETATION! ORTHODOX ISLAM IS WHAT IT IS WHICH IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH WESTERN LEGAL SYSTEMS OR CONSTITUTIONS!

You’re making an argument of false equivalence. There is no reformed, orthodox, protestant, Presbyterian, conservative islum, it’s allah the same Jew hating, fascist doctrine (incl. that of the Amadiya).

YOU DON’T GET THE POINT! ORTHODOX ISLAMICS WON’T DO IT AND THEY WON’T WANT TO MEET THAT REQUIREMENT THAT BASICALLY MAKES THEM RENOUNCE ISLAM ITSELF! THE BAHAIS ARE A REFORMED SECT WITH FEW TAKERS! THEY ARE LEFTIST IDIOTS THOUGH WHO STILL WISH TO BE CONSIDERED ISLAMIC AS HERETICS OF ISLAM FOR DENYING THE SHARIA!

If he can f*ck his cousin he’ll feel like a good i nbred. If he can f*ck 30 of his cousins he’ll feel like HOME! He’ll just need his mother and brother to really feel comfy. No joke, the Muslims are pathetic excuses for human beings and less than human.

The FBI and the DOJ are corrupt and needs a thorough house cleaning. It Trump is re-elected he had better reshuffle the deck and replace them with decent people. We really don’t have time for making do with people to hear another side. All he has to do is tune into any liberal media outlet for that. He needs to outgrow that.

They want Islam, they should be given the punishment as per the Quran, they are making mischief in the land of the U.S.
Quran 5:33
Muhsin Khan Translation
The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter.

Deport his entire family, just as the Israel,s destroy the house of the person they caught blowing Israeli Citizens up.
I dont believe the families know nothing of what their Sons are doing, this is just normal lying by the morons that follow islamic teachings. If he gets 20 years in Prison then let that be 20 years and not time off for good behavior, because if he behaves then maybe he gets out in 20 years and make that 20 years HARD LABOR.
