A synagogue was next. Watch for determinedly clueless FBI officials to say they’re searching for a motive.
“US teens planned ISIS-inspired attack on Chicago mosque, FBI says in newly released court docs,” by Brie Stimson, Fox News, March 26, 2022:
An 18-year-old from Maine and two underage teenagers planned an ISIS-inspired attack on a Chicago-area Shia mosque that would have been carried out at the end of March, the FBI said in court documents unsealed on Friday.
Xavier Pelkey and an unnamed 17-year-old and 15-year-old from Kentucky and the Chicago area communicated through Instagram and other chat applications and planned an attack on a specific mosque in late March during “spring break,” the newly released documents said….
Under the plan, Pelkey was supposed to bring firearms and ammunition to Chicago and he allegedly told one of his coconspirators that he had made an explosive device to “get more people.”…
One of the teens “explained that they would enter the Shia mosque and separate the adults from the children, then murder the adults,” the court documents said. “If they had not encountered law enforcement at that point, they would continue on to another Shia mosque or Jewish synagogue and execute the same plan. They did not have a plan to escape but rather their plan ended with them being shot by law enforcement.”
Chicago FBI agents seized multiple firearms, including a Remington pump shotgun, swords, knives, a bow and arrows, multiple homemade ISIS flags, and multiple electronic devices from the 15-year-old’s home following a search warrant, the FBI said.
While speaking to the FBI, the 17-year-old said Pelkey “had talked about gathering materials to make fireworks to attack someone,” adding that he “told him that he wanted Allah to grant him to be a shaheed and die while fighting in the cause of Allah.”…
While conducting a search at Pelkey’s home in February agents allegedly found three homemade explosive devices in his bedroom and two hand-painted ISIS flags.

They learn young, don’t they? And since it would have been an attack on a mozlum barracks, the blame could go to infidels until it was ascertained that the perps were mozlum.

“Muslim Americans sue over US border officers’ ‘invasive’ questions on religion”
“alleged” questions. If not, they should be….mozlums are terror plotters and terror doers.

Does any other religion glorify death and murder like Islam?
DRLJR says
Islam is not a religion. It is a theocracy, that is a government with a religious component. The religious component is the forced worship of the god Hubal who is associated with the moon and historically is also known as Baal. This becomes clear when one read the Qur’an and learn Islam’s history.
The Arabic word “allah”, a contraction of the Arabic phrase “al ilah”, means “the god” and is used to reference Hubal.

Dictionaries have defined “religion” for a very, very long time. ba’al worship was an evil religion. so is islam. the people “worship” what they perceive as their ‘god’…a superior being who can help or hurt them. They carry out actions and speak words to show their devotion to their ‘god.’
That is the basic meaning of the word “religion.”
Keith O says
Question, where do Buddhists and Pagans come into this equation?
Both carry out actions and speak words to show their devotion, however, neither believe in a “God”.
somehistory says
And re: theocracy
“Definition of theocracy
1: government of a state by immediate divine guidance or by officials who are regarded as divinely guided
2: a state governed by a theocracy”
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/theocracy
The God of Abraham was worshipped long before He gave the Law to Moses and told the people He would take care of all their needs if they were obedient. He was their King in every sense of that word.
The people later begged, demanded, to have a human king. God warned them through Samuel that they would come to regret it, but allowed Samuel to anoint Saul as a human representing God on God’s throne.
That is what a theocracy is. And, it is a “religion.”

DRLJR, your belief that theocracy is separate from religion is mistaken.
DRLJR says
This is normal Islam activity. Shia and Sunni Islam citizens have been killing each others for centuries. When one reads the Qur’an and learns Islam’s history it becomes obvious why it is done. Like all “Left” type organizations they operate with a “agree with me or suffer” mentality. The Islam theocracy is like most “Left” governments – intolerant of disagreement.
abu taleb says
To be more exact (sorry), Shia and Sunni have been killing each others right 7th century after Muhammad’s death.
Well, actually it doesn’t have to be between Shia and Sunni, as long as they are muslims, they are ready to kill each other, like Taliban and ISIS which are both Sunni but they are killing each other.

Chicago: Sunni Muslims plotted jihad massacre at Shia mosque
………………
Glad this Jihad terror plot was foiled–but this Islamic savagey is coming to the West.
And note that pious Muslims consider other sect Muslims to be “heretics” who hence can be treated just like Infidels.
The other plot was to target a Synagogue.
Mary C says
Moslems can’t even co-exist with each other. Haha!
OLD GUY says
Islam is not a religion it’ rival gangs fighting for dominance over each other and the rest of the world.
Infidel says
Yeah. I just put down Robert’s book and started reading Rebecca’s. It’ll be nice to see all the other arguments against this classification of islam as a religion
