The story below goes out of its way to note that Meyer was at odds with the people at the local mosque. The implication is that this mosque doesn’t teach anything but unicorns and rainbows. And that may be so, but why weren’t the people there able to convince Meyer that he was misunderstanding his new, peaceful, benign religion? Why was he so susceptible to the ISIS version of Islam? Why are so many other converts as well? And why are authorities so unanimously uninterested in such questions?
“Castle Rock man charged for terrorist ties,” by Colleen Flynn, KDVR, July 17, 2023:
DENVER (KDVR) — An 18-year-old man was arrested at Denver International Airport on Friday for his alleged connection to a known foreign terrorist group, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado said Monday.
Davin Daniel Meyer was charged with attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization. He made his first court appearance on Monday, according to the release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado.
“According to the affidavit in support of the criminal complaint, Meyer pledged an oath of allegiance to the leader of ISIS and intended to travel to serve as a fighter for ISIS in Iraq,” the release said.
The FBI Denver field office, along with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office, is investigating the case.
Someone who knew Meyer contacted the DougCo Sheriff’s Office in June 2022 to alert them of their concern for Meyer’s behavior, an arrest warrant read.
Between then and November, the FBI and the sheriff’s office communicated with the person who contacted them. That person told investigators that Meyer used to be a white supremacist but began practicing Islam, possibly as early as October 2020.
The individual told investigators that Meyer had begun watching radical online content and became even more involved after attending an “eight-month-long camp between 2021 and 2022 that focused on mental health and behavior treatment,” the affidavit said.
The person said Meyer talked about traveling to Syria to fight and was willing to kill himself and others.
“In October 2022, the individual informed the FBI that MEYER had stated that if he could not go to the Middle East, he planned to get fertilizer and build a bomb in the United States,” the affidavit read.
The document said Meyer had received mental health treatment including residential treatment programs. Staff members reported that Meyer refused medication citing his religious beliefs and that he was diagnosed with “autism spectrum disorder; attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder; adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood; specific learning disorder with impairment in mathematics; and major depressive disorder, recurrent episode, moderate.”
Meyer had issue with local mosque
One investigator believed that Meyer followed the ideology of ISIS and Sunni extremist groups, the affidavit read.Meyer reached out to a local mosque that allegedly did not allow radical sects to worship there, about his disdain that women are allowed there. The mosque replied to him that he had violated a code of conduct and issued him a warning….

Meyer, “I want to build a bomb that kills maybe 10 kafirs.”
“No, no, no. As our beloved Mohammad, peace be upon him, said, paraphrasing, ‘Go big or go home.'”

“mentally ill” right of the chute. Maybe he is, but that’s no excuse for wanting to murder a lot of people…or even to murder one person.
A lot of people have depression, anxiety, learning problems, autism, etc., but they aren’t planning big murders. It’s islam and it’s islam again and again.

One good thing about islam is that it ferrets out the murderous psychopaths and exposes them.
OLD GUY says
Funny how Islam can’t survive without murder and rape. Seems to be a drawing card to mentally ill individuals.
