My latest in PJ Media: When Corey Johnson was 17, he murdered a 13-year-old boy, Jovanni Sierra Brand, and stabbed two other people because they “idolized celebrities and disrespected his Muslim faith.” Johnson is now 21. On Thursday, he got a life sentence for the murder, but no one seems to be pondering the larger implications […]
Florida: Teen converts to Islam, murders 13-year-old boy for ‘disrespecting his Muslim faith’
The murder of Jovanni Sierra Brand should have been the occasion for a national discussion about the phenomenon of converts to Islam becoming violent, which keeps happening, and what should be done about it. Instead, the whole thing was swept under the rug, as always. Note the ever-witless Daily Mail’s headline: “White ISIS enthusiast…” The […]
The Jihad Murder in Florida You Heard Nothing About
My latest in PJ Media: A 17-year-old, Corey Johnson, murdered a 13-year-old, Jovanni Alexander Sierra, and stabbed two others in Florida in 2018, and this week it was reported that the victim’s family is suing the Publix grocery store chain for selling Johnson the knife, as the sale violated a Florida law that prohibits the […]
Florida: 17-year-old boy converts to Islam, slits throat of 13-year-old, killing him for mocking his new religion

That’s all well and good, but how many people even know that this incident happened at all? The murder of Jovanni Alexander Sierra should have been […]
Florida: FBI was planning to charge Muslim teen for jihad terror threats before he murdered boy
But they hadn’t quite gotten around to it, and Johnson was running around unmonitored, unsupervised, and with no warning given to anyone around him. FBI agents were probably too busy digging up dirt on Trump’s supposed Russia connections to pay much attention to Corey Johnson, and after all, it’s their official policy that Islam is […]
Florida: Muslim teen who murdered boy read Quran beforehand “to give him courage to carry out his intentions”
Will Palm Beach Gardens officials now begin to study the Qur’an and examine its capacity to incite believers to commit acts of violence? Will anyone? Don’t be silly. That would be “Islamophobic.” An update on this story. “Teen accused of fatally stabbing boy, injuring 2 others ‘because of his Muslim faith,’” by Peter Burke, Local10.com, […]
Florida: Teen converts to Islam, stabs friend to death, injures two others, says he did it because of Islam
He said he committed the crime because of Islam. Will non-Muslim Palm Beach Gardens authorities rush to deny that and to reassure the public that Islam is peaceful and has nothing whatsoever to do with violence? Will we hear about how the local mosque has asked for extra police protection in view of an anticipated […]
