An American ISIS Cell
BY Herschel Smith
8 years, 7 months ago
In his small Silicon Valley office, Salem Khan covered his face with his hands and sobbed deeply.
He was crying about his 24-year-old son, Jaffrey, a troubled young man who had struggled in school and in life. Khan long feared his child would one day do something terrible — and now he had.
He had joined ISIS.
With his wife and 18-year-old brother-in-law in tow, Jaffrey left behind the moneyed, manicured precincts of the Bay Area and offered his services to one of the most savage terrorist organizations in the world.
The father tried to suggest his son was impressionable, a lost soul, an easy mark for bloodthirsty fanatics selling the fantasy of an Islamic caliphate.
“He was gullible,” Salem Khan said. “You know the people looking to scam you out of money or something? They’re looking for people like him.”
Khan lives in a $2 million house and runs a medical marketing company in Palo Alto, in the shadow of elite Stanford University — 7,000 miles and a world away from where this story began, in southern Turkey.
That’s where, in March, we met a man who claimed to be an ISIS defector. He called himself Abu Mohammed and gave NBC News a thumb drive that he said he stole from an ISIS commander and smuggled out in a baby’s diaper.
Such cloak and dagger stuff. But when viewed objectively, he didn’t join ISIS. For him to have joined ISIS he would have had to fly to Syria, join up with criminals and Islamists within ISIS, be approved by the leadership of ISIS, and then fight in Syria, Iraq or Libya. He is a criminal in America, not a member of ISIS, any more than I’m a member of Delta Force.
And there is a solution to such criminality in America. First of all, close the borders, once and for all, painful or not. Second, stop the practice of Islamists in America. Japan does it, so can we. Finally, carry guns of all sorts, all of the time. Terror cannot become ensconced when terrorists are immediately shot.
In the U.K., they are worried about the police in light of Islamic terrorism.
Officers are not volunteering to carry guns because they fear being “hung out to dry” and treated like a suspect if they discharge their weapon, the federation claimed.
Its chairman, Steve White, warned Government plans to train another 1,500 firearms officers to deal with the terror threat looked doubtful.
The warning comes as a survey of 16,800 officers shows that while 40% fear they will be attacked at work, just half this number (20%) have or want personal firearms.
Pitiful Britain. The cops are worried, but if you return the rightful liberty to the citizens, I’m willing to bet that they would carry weapons. As it is, Britain is poorly equipped, poorly positioned, and poorly prepared for what’s coming its way.
Don’t be like Britain.

Hmm … if it was anything other than Politifact or Snopes. Neither of them are worth the time to read.

Gotta start somewhere…given all the stuff that circulates by email, nowadays, one has to try to check facts, Snopes usually turns up in a Google search. They often provide outside links.

Snopes sucks, and Snopes lies, and Snopes misleads, just like PolitiFact.

“…[Arabic] managers seeking travel to Japan for work purposes are denied over
and over again. As for Japanese-owned companies, they do not hire any
Muslims. Period.
The Government in Japan doesn’t hide this
stringent policy and no government official will even entertain a change
in these policies. The public abhors and shuns Islam and most landlords
will refuse to rent an apartment or a house to any Muslim.” – Article cited by Mr. Smith
The beauty of the Japanese way is this. They are the most racist, culture-ist, xenophobic people on the planet. But, it is not the racism portrayed by barry and his minions about white Americans. No, It is love. Love of country, culture, history, order, and above all HONOR.
The snopes article cites a bunch of laws. First off it is Policy not law. Secondly, Japan is not a nation of laws it a nation of honor in ones name. The laws have little effect on an individual Japanese man and his family name which is on the line, every minute of every day. And since those who wright and enforce the laws are Japanese men as well, nobody gets in trouble for honoring the culture, history and uniqueness that is japan. The cultural marxists are hard at work on japan to change this.
It is a pitiful shame that we don’t love our history and culture like the Japaneses love theirs. Pity we have allowed the communist manifesto to be completed against us without a shot fired.

55 million dead babies, homo sex licensed by the state, and now your daughters and granddaughters will be forced to be in direct danger for their virginal safety every time they have to pee. Where are the American men? Drooling into the tv with an extra large serving of genetically engineered high fructose corn syrup by their side. An honest prayer; God force us to repent, and if we won’t, burn it all down God, burn it all down.

Not much doubt Japan keeps a lid on’em and knows what’s good for their country & culture. As opposed to the West in general, and the U.S. in particular. Or, as Fred Reed puts it:
“…Congress, 535 commoditized temple monkeys pawing through the ruins of America in search of bribes. The bicameral whorehouse on Capitol Hill works like a vending machine. You put coins in the slot, select your law, and the desired legislation slides out.”

That’s funny as all get out. I can’t read that guy. He is a little coarse for me but that quote is priceless. That cheered me right up.

Yeah, it’s one of my favorite quotes…lol
Reading one of Mr. Reed’s articles is usually thought-provoking, and can be uplifting after reading some of the particularly stupid news events, nowadays.

The Japanese have a word: shinken. Translated literally, it comes out “real sword” or “true sword”. In modern usage, it means “seriousness”; not just a run-of-the-mill lack of humor, but deadly seriousness.
It’s pretty clear that shinken fairly describes how protective they are of their culture and country. And you are correct: they don’t do it out of hate or intolerance toward other cultures, but love for their own nation, people, history, and tradition.
As an aside: I for one find it odd that the U.N. doesn’t consider Japan a serial violator of human rights for holding onto their culture this way. If the U.S. or any European nation tried this, the U.N. would be all over us with sanctions, reprimands, and flowery speeches about inclusiveness and tolerance.
It makes me wonder, once again, why we as a nation are still members of such a hypocritical organization.

Oh, the NWO will get to Japan. Just hold your horses while they finish ruining any vestiges of Independence in the middle east. The UN is illegitimate. Let me see a blue helmet in east TN.
