FBI Prevents Terrorist Attack Against Nigerian Christian Church in Pittsburgh

The FBI foiled an attempted bomb plot and arrested a Syrian refugee on Wednesday who allegedly planned to bomb a church in Pittsburgh in the name of ISIS.  Mustafa Mousab Alowemer, a 21-year-old Pittsburgh resident who was born in Daraa, Syria, and came to the U.S. as a refugee in 2016, as part of an effort spearheaded by the Obama Administration to bring in 10,000 Syrian Refugees.  Mustafa met with an undercover FBI agent who posed as an ISIS sympathizer on several occasions between April and June.  Mustafa had pledged an oath of allegiance to the leader of ISIS in a video he recorded of himself and had been in contact with another ISIS supporter who was also was under investigation, prompting the FBI to look into him.



During his meetings with the undercover agent, Mustafa revealed bomb supplies he purchased along with maps of the area, showing how he was plotting to bomb an African American church in the city of Pittsburgh.  Mustafa revealed that this plan was to place a backpack full of explosives beside the church.  The attack was to be carried out in July of 2019.  Mustafa is currently in prison and if convicted, could serve up to 60 years.  This incident should serve as to send a serious message to our national leaders.  Refugees and anyone else attempting to enter our nation from these troubled regions need to be vetted very carefully.  Lack of vetting has cost lives in the past.  Tashfeen Malik, one of the San Bernardino shooters, made numerous posts on her social medial accounts praising Jihad and supporting terrorist attacks while she lived in Pakistan.  However, former President Obama forbade immigration officials to vet their social media profiles, stating this was a violation of their "Civil Rights," (even thought the applicants are not Americans, thus not under U.S. Law).  Had the officials been permitted to do this, Malik's visa would have been rejected and the massacre avoided.  Jihadist terrorists will take advantage of our good intentions and use them to destroy us.  Had this attack succeeded, it not only would have led to serious loss of life, it would have devastated the Nigerian Community, many of whom fled to our nation to escape from Jihad.

Hamas Invasion of Israel

The brutal invasion of Israel by Hamas caught the entire world by surprise.  Over the last few years Israel has become accustomed to turning back rocket attacks and occasional cross-border raids by Hamas terrorists, but nobody anticipated this brutal full-out invasion.  Already being dubbed as "Israel's 9/11," militants stormed across the Gaza border and attacked towns across southern Israel.  Already over 900 Israelis are confirmed dead, thousands more wounded, and over 100 hostages, including women & children, have been taken back to Gaza ( Video Footage of Massacres ).   Israeli Woman Taken Hostage by Hamas The deadliest massacre so far took place at the Nova Music Festival in the Negev Desert close to Urim, a Jewish community that lives close to the Gaza Strip.  At 6am on Oct. 7th, the attack on the festival began as rockets rained down and Hamas gunmen appeared and opened fire.  As of now over 260 Israelis are confirmed dead from this attack alone with a number o

The Plague of Jihad is all over the world.  The past few days has witnessed Israel suffer the most horrific attack that it has endured since the October War of 1973, yet for all of the senseless death, for all of the footage that we see of Hamas militants murdering Israelis in cold blood, many in the world are in fact celebrating this atrocity.   Hamas Supporters in Canada In Iran, crowds of Hamas supporters took to the streets to celebrate the slaughter of Israelis by Hamas while their government leaders lavished praise on the terrorists ( Link to Article ).  In the nation of Turkey, Hamas supporters crowded the streets of Istanbul chanting "Allahu Akbar" & "Khaybar Khaybar Ya Yahud" ( Link to Video ).  "Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud, jaish Muhammad soufa ya'oud" is the full version of the chant.  It translates to "Khaybar Khaybar or Jews, the Army of Muhammad will return."  For those unfamiliar with the context of this chant, Khaybar was the

Hamas and Their Child Soldier Training Camps

Image
For years the world has known that Hamas deliberately targets children for indoctrination and training to carry out terrorist missions.  They have camps throughout Gaza and other areas of the Middle East where children are taught to hate, & trained to kill.  These camps are often referred to as "Summer Youth Camps."  The titles sound harmless enough, but unlike the summer youth camps in the U.S. and other Western nations where children play games, do crafts, and in general, have fun, the Hamas "Summer Youth Camps" are nothing like this.  They're training camps, where children are trained in weapons handling, military drills, and are indoctrinated to "hate the Infidel," particularly Jews.   Link to Video On videos that have circulated across the online world, these children have openly confessed that they have come here for the purpose of learning to fight.  One such video surfaced on MEMRI with a child openly stating "We did not come here to e
