Terror in America: What Happened Just Last Week

Last week Americans were charged or indicted in Islamist terror cases in three separate states: Arizona, Massachusetts and Arkansas.

Massachusetts: Alexander Ciccolo, 23, who went by the name of Ali Al Amriki, was indicted for a plot to bomb a state university. His father, a Boston police captain, said his son -- a convert to Islam -- wanted to join the Islamic State. Ciccolo also received four guns from a witness cooperating with the Western Massachusetts Joint Terrorism Task Force. Prosecutors say the witness spoke with Ciccolo about his plans, inspired by the Islamic State, to use improvised pressure cookers as bombs.

Arizona: Mahim Khan an 18-year old Arizona man was arrested on terrorism charges. Mahim Khan, from Tucson, stands accused by the FBI of plotting acts of terror against government buildings in two counties. Other than announcing that Khan’s plans did not involve targeting Fourth of July activities, no other details were available. For the time being, the court records of Khan’s initial appearance have been sealed. Khan lived with his family in a gated community in north Tucson close to the Catlina Foothills.

Arkansas: A woman in Arkansas was indicted on first-degree terrorism for making an online threat to kill another individual as well as the individual’s family with a firearm, a federal charge. Daphne Ann Crawford, 29, a convert to Islam who also goes by the name of Umm Ammara Khalid and was arrested along with her husband, Alan, also a convert. They were also found to be in possession of drugs and firearms, including three AR-15 assault rifles, a 12-gauge shotgun, six handguns and close to 2,000 rounds of ammunition, including 721 rounds for the assault rifles. Events leading to the arrests unfolded after the Crawford's got into an argument at a restaurant with the staff. A customer posted a comment on Facebook about the incident to which Crawford replied by sending a picture of her husband dressed in Middle Eastern clothes and holding an assault rifle.

Frankly I'd consider them Muslims and not Americans. If they were plotting terrorism against the USA in the name of Islam it only makes sense.

All three stories are kind of, well...

Ciccolo also received four guns from a witness cooperating with the Western Massachusetts Joint Terrorism Task Force.

Interesting.

For the time being, the court records of Khan’s initial appearance have been sealed.

Really?

But he looks like a smart guy.

I think we may have found the Missing Link.

A woman in Arkansas was indicted on first-degree terrorism for making an online threat to kill another individual as well as the individual’s family with a firearm, a federal charge.

A "terroristic" threat is different from "terrorism".

Its a charge which isnt uncommon, even when Moslems arent involved.

They seem more like temperamental idiots vs. actual "terrorists".

Daphne Crawford also was arrested on a charge of first-degree terroristic threatening.

You may catch hell from some liberal for your sentiment regarding the rights of Islamic terrorists, but remind them what a traitor is, and that you can't yell fire in a movie theater. I agree with what you said.

I realize the left or PC police may come after me, but traitors aren't worthy of the nation they are from or betraying.

Here we go again.... An ar-15 is not an assault rifle. They're pushing the "scary black gun" meme again. Now if they had been ak-47's or m-16's or an r5, even a mac-10, those are fully automatic weapons or could be considered assault appliances. I have an assault toaster, it fires four slices at the same time, but it's silver and therefore not scary.

Notice how none of these tools ever get caught with a Barrett or headhunter lol. It's because they are tools.

the publicity/propaganda/recruitment arm of the Caliphate is 'Daesh'...
their direction/purpose is to invigorate Muslims & converts in foreign lands to become the Anarchists/Terrorists in their own homeland

Why? because 'Daesh' desires to create chaos with those 'home-grown' zealots while the thousands of Syria 'refugees' from ISIS ranks, settle in under the cover of the Obama lovefest afforded the Muslims to sanctuary cities scattered all over the 50 States.... the actual ISIS terrorists in groups resettled all over the USA will organize and instruct non-compliant Mosques to voluntarily become weapons depots & armories for the hardened ISIS 'refugees' even as the USA MSM focuses all the terror acts on the diversion troops who are 'Lone Wolf' assassins, 'self radicalized' Muslims.... planned & designed by Daesh, along with the present Administration who is unduly influenced/directed by the (thought-2-be) Terrorist Org called Muslim Brotherhood


at least that is the conversations here in a closed community of Patriot minded individuals here in the State of SC

If half the stuff posted on ATS is true then we have more than our fair share of traitors in the USA.

It was Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC) in the timeless "The Traitor is the Plague" who said...

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly.

But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.

A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

exactly what I was talking about--> that is a major component of Daesh policy;
to recruit foreign Muslims to become Jihad Anarchists in support of ISIS/Caliphate..

to commit 'home grown' atrocities to become 'Lone Wolves' for the cause of Jihad---

so as to pre-occupy the USA (and Europe for that matter) with internal terrorists instead of the Host Nation getting busy with ferreting out the ISIS members hiding out as Refugees seeking-Asylum... because the self-radicalized Lone-Wolf garners ALL the attention of homeland security

meh

The FBI has been setting up "terrorists" to make themselves look good long before the IS came along.

the underwear bomber
shoe bomber
the times square VBIED
there was another guy in Washington State I think.

All idiots who had no idea what they were doing encouraged, supplied, set up then arrested by the FBI.

Correct sir. AR does NOT stand for Assault Rifle. It means Armalite.

Same here in germany!
Every fart done by a muslim is terrorism.

While a neonazi with very possible ties(something is kept secret by the BfV, protection of the constitution) to the german "protection of the constitution"(what a evil joke) stabbed the mayor of cologne in the neck to kill her.
In court he stated that he wanted to create a sceanrio of fear too. Isn´t that exactly what terrorists do?

But... he is, again if it is not a muslim, but a nazi, just a confused, individual perpetrator, nobody official ever talked about right wing terrorism here...
