Amir Said Abdul Rahman Al-Ghazi, previously known as Robert C. McCollum, was arrested by the FBI June 19 on charges that he supported ISIS, a terrorist organization.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Sheffield Lake man facing terrorism charges told a FBI informant that if war broke out in the U.S. between Muslims and non-Muslims, he would "cut off the head of his non-Muslim son if necessary," according to a criminal complaint.

Amir Said Abdul Rahman Al-Ghazi's comment about his son is revealed in the 33-page complaint filed Friday by the FBI in U.S. District Court.

The complaint also states that when asked by the criminal informant what he thought of videos showing the beheading of U.S. citizens by Islamic State militants, his response was: "You really wanna know what I think? ... I support that. ... That's our way of life. ... Yeah, I go for this. ... I'm uh. ... I do this."

Al-Ghazi, 38, faces charges of supporting a terrorist organization, the Islamic State, also known as ISIS. A federal judge ordered Friday afternoon that Al-Ghazi be held in custody until a hearing on Wednesday.

Al-Ghazi made comments to a total of three FBI informants, according to the complaint, at times stating he thinks it's okay to behead Christians, Jews, and atheists. Al-Ghazi also referred to Iraqis as his "brothers and sisters," the complaint states, and told one informant that he had ideas for a terrorist attack in the U.S., including attacking a police station or derailing a train.

But, Al-Ghazi said he wasn't interested in becoming a martyr, but rather told an informant that he "wanted to get away with it," the complaint states....

But would he refuse to bake a cake for a gay couple? That’s the real question.

Personally, I think a lot of US Muslim “converts” are actually people with serious mental problems. They are usually undiagnosed or undertreated until they simply flip out and manages to attack or kill enough people so the madness finally gets somebody’s attention.

The shooter in SC had serious undiagnosed mental problems (probably adolescent onset schizophrenia, judging from what you can read about his past, neglected because of a divorce, just like the Sandy Hook killer) and a few months ago attached himself to white racist groups in an attempt to “affirm” his insanity.

I think you’d find that a lot of the younger Muslim “converts” here had similar symptoms and a similar result as well...and probably the older ones, like this guy, had adult onset. This is almost harder to detect because a normal person suddenly gets weirder and weirder. And then he either goes berserk on his own or attaches himself to an insane, violent ideology.

What stopped him from chopping off his son’s head already?

Note to the son, vanish of the face of the earth before your daddy I out roaming the streets again.
