Rhatul Ashikim Kahn, 23, was arrested at his home in the Austin suburb of Round Rock and charged with terrorist activities, including “committing violent jihad,” according to court documents unsealed on Wednesday. His friend also, Faruq (nee Michael Wolf), was arrested at Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston on Tuesday.

Here again, I will repeat what I have said twice today (regarding the British Muslim leader in Kenya and Kosovan Muslim leader in Fallujah), the key point that I repeatedly restate: nationality, geography, language, color, race, sex, or color of their socks, etc., have nothing to do with the global jihad war. It is all about one thing and one thing only — ideology.

And when I repeat that, Facebook censors me and takes my posts down, because the cyber-army of Islamic supremacists operatives and their leftist lapdogs “report” the posts as hate speech.

Yes, truth is the new hate speech.

And why are they so hellbent on silencing this particular point? Because the very real implications are unfathomable and frightening as hell.

“Two men arrested in Texas on terrorism charges,” By Jim Forsyth, Reuters, June 18, 2014

Two men in central Texas have been arrested on charges of trying “to provide material support to terrorists,” with one of the pair seeking to aid extremist groups fighting in Syria, U.S. prosecutors said on Wednesday.

Rhatul Ashikim Kahn, 23, was arrested at his home in the Austin suburb of Round Rock and charged with terrorist activities, including “committing violent jihad,” according to court documents unsealed on Wednesday.

The other man, Michael Wolfe, 23 also known as “Faruq,” was arrested at Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston on Tuesday. He was charged in a separate federal criminal complaint with “attempting to provide material support to terrorists,” prosecutors said.

Lawyers for the two were not immediately available for comment.

According to the complaint, “Wolfe planned to travel to the Middle East to provide his services to radical groups engaged in armed conflict in Syria,” prosecutors said.

The arrest affidavit alleged that Wolfe told a confidential informant in May 2014 that he and his wife were expecting a tax refund in the amount of $5,000. Wolfe indicated his wife wanted to get a portion of the refund to her mother, and the rest of the refund would be for his travel to Syria, according to the affidavit.

Both men face up to 15 years in prison if convicted. They have a detention hearing set for Friday afternoon in Austin.

    Why are these men getting arrested and Obama isn’t? Obama has provided material support to terrorists.

    • chevymon77

      The community organizer is blatantly,openly and in everyone’s face,aiding and abetting a foreign invasion on the southern border. And not a damn thing is being done about it.

    • James Smith

      That’s it – and because of Obama, these men have NOTHING to fear because Obama will free them to appease his Friday friends and his half Brother, Malik. What the west needs to do is revoke these terrorists citizenship and deport them back to ISIS in the hope that they will eventually kill themselves. Even US born Jihadi’s who travel to Syria and Iraq to fight should have their US citizenship revoked. Who cares if Islamists have their precious Western country citizenship revoked, they wont be stateless for too long because that’s what ISIS is for.

        I’m afraid we have more just like him spread around the country James. No doubt, crossing the Southwest border. I think it’s time for an electric fence and a moat filled with alligators.

    • AltheSpiceman

      Nothing is done because no one in the Senate or House has the balls to take this on. Too afraid of being called Islamophobic.

  • Grace

    Wonder if the IRS is investigating this “tax” refund. Is $1.00 the “portion” that will go to his mother-in-law and the rest for his “travel” to Syria?

  • Kassa IMMANUEL Gebrekidan

    His face is familiar and I am sure he is not alone who is lurking to attack. I am also familiar of others whom I know and can identify their activities that are anti American. The saddest part is, Homeland Security knows about this Jihadist and the law of the land prohibits them from arrest until crime is committed…

  • Minerva

    Yes, they will arrest a couple here and a some more there but when this country is over-run with them, then THEY will have a whole lot more influence on OUR legal system. They will soon be free to maim and kill as they please even here.

    • Baylady

      You are so right. Their numbers are growing. We have a lot to fear. Problem is most Americans have their heads in the sand are are too worried about being politically correct. They better watch out because once they take their heads out of the sand they may get their heads cut off!

  • Wanderer

    I wanna know how they got a good enough job to get a $5k tax refund while Americans are out of work. Why are we importing people to work here?

  • irish7_1sg

    The Main Stream Media needs to get off their ass and start reporting Islam for what it really is: a cult of torture, death, destruction and forced conversion. Liberal politicians that pander to Moslems need to be removed from office.

    • ac287149

      Any politician, Republican or Democrat, giving support or cover to the Muslim Brotherhood, as it takes position after position within the US government, should be in jail, too.

      Qualifying what is hate speech is an arbitrary thing at best, but the UN and other political groups in the USA are attempting to qualify as hate speech anything said about Islam that seems negative. Even if it’s the truth. Along with the Patriot Act, the TSA/ Homeland Security, and the ban on self-defense in the form of banning guns… goodbye Bill of Rights.

      No Constitution + no border = no United States of America.

      I fear that this conflict is being set up and we’re all collateral damage. Here’s where I think we can find a telling motive and facilitator for all of it:
      Julian Huxley, the first director of UNESCO, wrote its Charter in 1946. In “UNESCO: Its Purpose and Its Philosophy”, Conclusion (p61)
      “Political unification in some sort of world government will be required… The task before UNESCO… is to help the emergence of a single world culture with its own philosophy and background of ideas and with its own broad purpose. This is opportune, since this is the first time in history that the scaffolding and the mechanisms for world unification have become available…. And it is necessary, for at the moment, two opposing philosophies of life confront each other from the West and from the East…You may categorize the two philosophies… as Christianity versus Marxism. Can these opposites be reconciled…? [Through] the inexorable dialectic of evolution, it must happen.”
      He recognized them ultimately as Christianity vs Marxism, and so do I. I also think that all the effort our leaders are putting into establishing the Iron Caliphate Curtain is part of this.

      • irish7_1sg

        I hold very strong suspicions that a “behind the scenes” agreement has been made, between Western politicians that secretly support one world government and Moslem leaders, to make Islam the only religion. The European, and now American officials cannot possibly be so blind as to have NOT noticed the horrific effects of unfettered Moslem immigration! But, they keep ignoring the heinous crimes (honor killings, child rape & female genital mutilation) and continue to invite these Dark Age savages into our countries. America is the biggest obstacle in this plan, primarily because we are still armed. Opposition to Globalists worldwide lacks the firepower that the US citizen brings to the fight. This is why politicians like Obama, who is a pawn of Globalist Soros, are always trying to take our guns away. I believe the ONLY way to prevent this is for Christians to assume the same religious fervor that the Moslems have. The Hebrews have it. We do not. When we unite under Judeo/Christian values and morals, we will develop the motivation to prevent this hostile takeover. Out biggest problem is that 90% of the information available is controlled by the Left, who are in bed with the Globalists and protect Islam. If we can get the truth out to the masses, this subversion can be avoided. The Bible is loathed by the enemies of freedom, as our God given rights are spelled out.

    I was at the Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston three weeks ago and TSA gave me the xray and then the pat-down because they didn’t like the beret in my hair and the elastic hair band around my wrist. They had to pat the beret holding my hair up several times and handle the hair band and finally make sure that my bra strap was really a bra. So I guess I’m glad one was arrested there, but I wonder if TSA was as interested in his bra?

  • ConservativeMe

    “KNOW THY ENEMY” : NO ONE can be “part” muslim and “part” for America because ISLAM DOES NOT ALLOW IT, so if you practice islam or say you believe in it in the SLIGHTEST you are either in the process of being indoctrinated are 100% islamic practicing taqiyya FOR ISLAM, i.e. OBAMA. Muslims are anti America BECAUSE they are pro quran and sharia law PERIOD. MODERATE MUSLIMS = RADICAL MUSLIMS and they ALL play their part in the exterminations of infidels and world domination, Pisslam MUST be eradicated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=JUmrHQWiyPM

      Quran is copy of Old Testament of Bible. This book is new spiritual like other religious books. Anyone can make a book like this. Anyone can say more than moralities but cannot practice in life. The only person in the world say moralities and practiced in his how life is Jesus Christ. Quran trying many times to degrade Jesus Christ. Quran made lots of lies about the history of Jesus. Quran was written after 600 years of Jesus Christ. How cam make it truth. In 6th century it was possible to believe people a lie, but in 21st century it is not possible to believe people. Islam can stay only by force. Christianity is staying without any force.

      • ConservativeMe

        And yet Christians are able to live and coexist with CIVILIZED societies around the WORLD as pisslam cannot even as Christians are being beheaded , silenced and demonized for their faith.

      • kktex12

        You are dead wrong. the book of the cult of islam is NOT a copy of the Old Testament.

      • Brenda Green

        And YOU have no idea what you are talking about.

    • kktex12

      There is no such thing as a moderate or peaceful mooslim. Radical or socalled moderate, they have two goals and will do EVERYTHING they can to achieve them. World domination by the cult of islam and world control by shariah law. There is no allowance for any other belief in the world of the cult of islam.

      • ConservativeMe

        AMEN KKTEX!

    • Brenda Green

      You have no idea what you are talking about.

      • ConservativeMe

        Is that all you got Brenda? I presented facts and a strong opinion and that is all you bring to the debate table? Prove to me I’m wrong with YOUR FACTS.

        • Brenda Green

          For your information, I am not a liberal. I am conservative. But I have researched Islam because I wanted to know the REAL truth and not what people think they know or what the media shoves down my throat. If you really want to know the history of Christianity, Jewish, and Islam religions, I suggest you read a book by Zachary Karabell, PEACE BE UPON YOU. It is pure history of these three religions and how we coexisted for fourteen centuries. It will give you the facts that you and most people are not willing to find out for themselves. Before you make assumptions, just as you have about me), don’t you think you should find out the real facts?

  • Tommy Guns

    So now, the word ‘ideology’ is a bad word. Don’t say the word ‘ideology’ in front of your granny. Ha Ha Ha!!! How moronic. Even the poorest, uneducated, and the richest, educated, believe in SOME form of ideology. It’s human nature. Will you left-wing, limp wristed twits give it a rest with your political correctness?? It’s getting very tiresome, and the more you push it on people, the less relevant it becomes.
    You go Pamela. Keep pushing back!!!

      Pam is the only one pushing back. The rest are a bunch of robots.

    Expect increased jihadist activities here and abroad in U.S. territories in the wake of what’s happening in Iraq/Syria.

    VIDEO: TX Man, Duy Tran, Told to Remove American Flag Because ‘It’s a Threat to Muslims’

    Tran says he was shocked when the apartment manager told him the American flag had to be taken down. He said, “What really stunned me is that she said it’s a threat towards the Muslim community. I’m not a threat to anybody.”

    The station reports that, upon asked for the manager’s account of what happened, the property had an officer escort them off of the property and only provided the following statement.

    While the Lodge on El Dorado admires our resident’s patriotism, we must enforce our property rules and guidelines. Such guidelines maintain the aesthetics of our apartment community and provide for the safety of all residents. The apartment community already proudly displays our country’s flag in a safe and appropriate manner at the entrances to our community.

    KHOU indicates that there were numerous other patriotic symbols that could been seen on balconies throughout the property. Tran insists that he will not remove his American flag stating, “I’m gonna leave my flag there, as an American, until she shows me proof that I don’t have the right to leave my flag there.

    • kktex12

      You do not understand the world of the cult of islam.

    • Yah Saves

      Sounds to much like precrime. Your were thinking about doing something bad.

  • Becky Marsh

    Do Not give up your guns to the government – we may need your protection in the near future against these lslamic militants in this country. There are plenty more Islamic militants where these two came from and they are spred out all over our country.

  • Lionel Cunningham

    SCREW THAT PUTTING THEM IN JAIL AND TAXPAYERS FOOT THE BILL FRY THEM JUST POOR PORK FAT ON THEM FIRST.

  • phantomm

    The reason that Islamic violence is increasing is because the Koran states that only those believers who die in Jihad may enter the Garden. If western civilisation understood this, they would take steps to ensure that each and every Jihadist is stopped from entering by making sure that that unclean animals taint all the weapons and ammunition used on these “True Believers”. Do it enough times and the others will see that they will not enter the Garden.
