New York pizza parlor owner admits to recruiting for ISIS

[YellowSnow51]

The owner of a Rochester, N.Y., pizza parlor pleaded guilty on Thursday to trying to recruit people to join Islamic extremists in the Middle East.

The man, 31-year-old Mufid Elfgeeh, used the Internet to find potential supporters of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), send them propaganda and support their efforts to join the extremist group in Syria, officials alleged.

To spread his message, Elfgeeh used a combination of three Twitter accounts, 23 Facebook accounts and one WhatsApp account, which he used to seek out funding and support radical fighters, according to details in his plea agreement.

From late 2013 to early 2014, Elfgeeh. a naturalized U.S. citizen from Yemen, began communicating with two people who appeared willing to travel to Syria and join the jihadist fight.

Among other steps, Elfgeeh connected the two people with overseas contacts and bought them a laptop computer and a high-definition camera to use on their journey. He also gave one of the travelers $1,000 in cash to buy two handguns, and paid money so that one of the two people could obtain a copy of his birth certificate.

He could have got away with it if he would have allowed sausage as a topping.

John Kerry said you stop terrorism with a job!

Looks like he had a pretty good job.

How is arresting a terrorist "Islamaphobia"?

Also, I say let him round people up as long as he's making sure they go to Syria to die. The government should be recruiting for this, but then put chips in the recruits like dogs, so we'll know if they try to come back here.

I can't imagine that a pizza shop that doesn't sell any pork products would be remotely successful.

No pepperoni?

No sausage?

No bacon?

Are Muslims allowed to mix meat and dairy? Kosher Jews can't do that.

Why did you cut the article off where you did? This was the next sentence: "Unbeknownst to Elfgeeh, both people were cooperating with the FBI."

For those who claim American Muslims need to step up, they just did.

What makes you think that the informants were muslim? We've seen white kids from the suburbs travel to syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq in the past. Remember Jihad Johnny?

I am making an assumption. I don't remember Jihad Johnny, but being white isn't an indication you aren't Muslim. If private citizens are helping the FBI get terrorists, they deserve praise. I imagine we can agree on that much.

 

[ottumwan in tx]

Wellmich man you just proved my point you convicted him as a terrortist without a court of law

 

[BelemNole]

Clearly we need to shut down all pizza shops to protect our freedom.

No, just the Muslim ones.

Give him a pork sausage enema and make him live in a jail cell in the middle of a hog confinement building the rest of his worthless life.
