Nicaraguan US citizen & recent convert to Islam, Antonio Martinez (Muhammad Hussein) charged with military terror plot in Baltimore-area

Nicaraguan US citizen and recent convert to Islam, Antonio Martinez, also know as Muhammad Hussein, 21, from Baltimore has been charged with 'attempting to detonate a car bomb outside an armed forces recruiting center'¹ in Catonsville, Maryland.³

The car bomb was a fake set up by the FBI in a sting operation and no one was hurt in the attempted bombing.^1,2,3

Martinez was allegedly angry at the US military for what he considered to be a “war on Muslims”.³

According to New York Post³

On Sept. 29, Martinez posted a statement on his Facebook page, calling for violence to stop the oppression of Muslims. Later that week, he posted another message claiming he hated anyone who opposed Allah.³

He also wrote on Facebook

"[T]he sword is cummin (sic) the reign of oppression is about 2 cease..."¹

CBSNews.com reports the following.²

A woman who identified herself as Martinez's mother but refused to give her name told The Associated Press on Thursday that she tried to persuade him not to convert to Islam.

"I'm not falling for no b.s.," he told the informant when he heard about the Oregon case. Still he wanted to go ahead with the plan.

A former girlfriend, Alisha Legrand, said she met him three or four years ago - before he became a Muslim - and described him as quiet. The two last spoke over the summer and Legrand, 20, said Martinez tried to get her to convert.

"She [his mother] wants me to be like everybody else, being in school, working," Martinez told the informant. "My wife understands. ... I told her I want to fight jihad. ... She said she doesn't want to stop me."

Martinez's Facebook page identifies his wife as Naimah Ismail-Hussain, who describes herself as a student and employee at Pine Manor College in Chestnut Hill, Mass.

Comments: Yet another Muslim convert terrorist.

This case proves once again the delusion among some Muslims that they are under attack and being persecuted, when the fact is that it is Islamists and Muslim terrorists who are killing and persecuting non-Muslims, as well as other Muslims.

So there is a need for honest information and criticism of Islam and Muslims, in order to show the truth so that they won't fall for nonsense about Muslims being victims, like Martinez here did.

Politically correct lies and cover-ups not only fail to stop the problem, but also encourages even more terror and extremism by making Muslims think they, their religion and culture are wonderful and not in need of any change.

When they are deluded by politically correct lies that they are fine and wonderful, any criticism or attempt to solve the problem is seen as an unjustified attack on Islam and Muslims, leading them to commit terrorism in what they falsely believe to be self-defense.

So political correctness and those who peddle it not only do not to save lives but are responsible for keeping Muslims in the dysfunctional state they are in, and for the resulting terrorism, deaths and sufferings from it. PC kills.

US Muslim Abdel Shehadeh charged with taqiyya over his attempt to join terrorists in Pakistan, Iraq and Somalia

  Abdel Hameed Shehadeh, a US citizen born and raised in New York, flew to Islamabad in June 2008 to join terrorists but was denied entry to the country when he landed there. He lied about the purpose of his trip by saying it was to attend a madrasa (Islamic school), or an Islamic university, and to attend a friend's engagement party.

He then tried joining the US army in October 2008, hoping to get training, a weapon and be deployed to Iraq where he planned to commit “treason” by deserting to join terrorists. This also failed when recruiters discovered he lied by not telling them of his trip to Pakistan. He also showed them an old passport without the record of his travel to Pakistan saying he could not find his new one. He later admitted to the FBI that he had ripped out the Pakistani visa for his trip from his new passport.

Later that month, Shehadeh flew to Amann, Jordan, a country which borders Iraq, but was denied entry to the country.

 Shehadeh went to Honolulu in April 2009 and from there tried to fly to Dubai in June, intending to travel on to Somalia via Djibouti from there. He was unable to board the flight however as his name was on the “No Fly” list.

In October 2009, Shehadeh went to SWAT gun club in Hawaii and paid to fire various weapons.

In 2010, Shehadeh tried to have his name removed from the “No Fly” list by claiming he had renounced violent jihad and offering to be an FIB informant. He told them he once believed he would get 72 virgins if he died fighting jihad.

Shehadeh also ran websites, sunnah101.com at first then later civiljihad.com and mymekkah.com, and had a Youtube account sunnah101, where he posted videos and other materials advocating violent jihad, including those by al-Qaeda's Ayman al-Zawahiri, Anwar al-Awlaki and Adam Gadahn. There was also a link to al-Awlaki's website at anwar-alawalaki.com. His email at civiljihad.com was mujahideen@civiljihad.com. Mujahideen means jihad warrior. In a message posted on muslimrevolution.com, the website of a New York based group that agrees with the ideology of Muslim terrorists, Shehadeh urged Muslims to exercise their free speech by speaking up. He also admitted that “in the land of the enemy of the mujahideen, Muslims can speak up and practice Islam freely.”

 Shehadeh also encouraged one friend to follow him to Pakistan, another to travel to Somalia and a third person to learn Arabic “on the battlefield” in Yemen. He told the first friend that “war is deception” and discussed a hadith [probably Bukhari 4:52:269] on the use of deception during jihad. He advised the third person to put porn and music on his computer before traveling to deceive airport security in case he was searched. These three became FBI witnesses and revealed Shehadeh true jihad terror motives.

Shehadeh was arrest in Hawaii but will face charges in New York.
