A Plano West High School student was arrested on charges related to an ISIS-inspired plan to commit a mass shooting at the Frisco mall with help from others, authorities said Wednesday. Matin Azizi-Yarand, 17, faces charges of making a terroristic threat and criminal solicitation of capital murder. He was taken into custody at school on Tuesday and is being held on $3 million bail. If convicted, he faces up to life in prison.

Reports are surfacing about a stabbing attack at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota. We are going to go ahead and speculate that this is a case of knife jihad. There are a few reasons for this:

Lieutenant Jeff Neville was stabbed in the neck in a terrorist attack at Bishop International Airport on Wednesday morning, prompting an evacuation of the airport. MLive reports that the officer was stabbed in the neck and is in critical condition following the attack. A witness told MLive that they saw the suspect detained with a knife nearby and an officer on his knees bleeding from the neck. Other witnesses reported that the attacker was shouting “Allahu Akbar” as he ambushed Lt. Jeff Neville from behind, indicating that this was a radical Islamic terrorist attack. The FBI is investigating this as...

Two police officers are among those who have been taken to a hospital after being struck by a pickup truck at a busy Washington DC intersection. The officers were on bicycles when the truck swerved around a bus, striking them at 9 p.m. local time. A traffic aide and two pedestrians were also hit -- for a total of five victims. One officer is listed in very critical condition. The others have non-life-threatening injuries. D.C. Metro Police Chief Peter Newsham says a weapon was recovered from the suspect's vehicle. When asked if he could rule out terrorism Newsham replied,"We have...

The FBI raided a house Thursday night on Dearborn's east side in connection with a national security issue, but the exact reason behind the action remains unknown.

From all accounts, Molly Norris was a politically left-leaning cartoonist in Seattle who thought people just needed to lighten up a bit, and be able to freely express themselves, no matter what the topic. In 2010 Norris suggested a “Everybody Draw Mohammad Day.” A few days later she received her first death threat from a Muslim.

A joint terrorism task force is investigating whether a 21-year-old man has connections to terrorism after he was arrested at the New Port Richey, Florida home he shares with his parents. Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco said on Twitter Wednesday it would be foolish for him to say the case is "definitely not connected to terrorism." Paramedics were called to the home Wednesday morning after Sherif Elganainy's father became unresponsive. He was taken to a hospital. His mother called deputies to ask them to check out suspicious fumes she said were in her home. The sheriff's office says "suspicious materials"...

A Maryland man has been arrested after police say he made threats to blow up the Southwest Airlines plane he was on. On November 22, Southwest Airlines advised they had an unruly passenger on a flight departing from Oakland, California en route to Baltimore. The Southwest Pilot turned the flight around and returned to Oakland International. Deputies arrived and contacted the suspected unruly passenger, 32-year-old Arpan Shah from Maryland. Shah reportedly told several passengers while the plane was taxiing out on the runway, that he was going to blow up the plane and continued to say it was going to...

State legislation known as “Andy’s Law” stiffens criminal penalties for terrorism and material support for terrorism. It is needed on the state level because our bureaucratized counterterrorism apparatus on the federal level is routinely reluctant to bring terrorism charges in cases that are clearly terrorism. The law also creates a civil cause of action empowering victims of terrorism to sue in state court those who provide material support and aid those who commit acts of terrorism. Andy’s Law has already passed into law in Louisiana, Arkansas, Kansas, North Carolina and Tennessee. It is called Andy’s Law after Private Andy Long,...

Once again we have been confronted with an outrageous statement from an official of CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood front group that has been implicated in terrorist activity. Hussam Ayloush, the head of CAIR’s Los Angeles chapter, blamed US foreign policy for terrorism and “extremism” in the wake of the horrific San Bernardino Jihad attack that killed 14 innocent civilians and wounded 21 more. If US foreign policy is responsible for “extremism” and terrorism, we have a few questions for Mr. Ayloush. We won’t hold our breath waiting for him to provide answers…

In monitoring the TV news in the wake of the San Bernardino terrorist attack one theme we hear over and over again has to do with the question of how a young, prosperous couple with a baby girl could leave all that behind to launch a murderous attack on innocent civilians. For the answers we need only look to Islamic doctrine.

In the wake of the San Bernardino attack yesterday morning, we are once again witnessing the pointless debate in law enforcement circles, as well as the news media, as to whether the mass shooting was an act of “terrorism.” This morning on Fox News, a so-called “expert” was dissecting the Justice Department’s official definition of terrorism to justify the FBI’s hesitation in classifying what is, let’s face it, another act of war. That same “expert” claimed that this was another example of “self-radicalization” over the internet and thus was very difficult to classify. Fighting through the nausea induced by the...

The Council on American Islamic Relations, which has been tied to HAMAS, a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization and has been named a terrorist organization itself by US ally the United Arab Emirates due to the fact that it is a wing of the Muslim Brotherhood, the granddaddy of all modern Sunni Jihadist organizations, is due to hold a press conference soon regarding the San Bernardino terror attack. Given the fact that the cowardly, corrupt, dishonest US news media is going to allow CAIR to broadcast its message, we thought it important to detail the organization’s disturbing history, members, officers and...

Adnan El Shukrijumah was one of America’s most wanted terrorists until he was killed by the Pakistani army almost a year ago. Linked below is an article outlining what led to his demise–he was essentially turned in by another Jihadi. What we would like to point out as particularly interesting is the fact that his father was the imam at a local mosque in Miramar, Florida and claims to have no idea how his son could have found his way to Al Qaeda. This is a recurring theme and one that we ignore too much in the U.S. Shukrijumah finds...

On Wednesday, 4 November, Faisel Mohammad of Santa Clara, California went on a “stabbing spree” at the University of California at Merced in Sacramento. He stabbed 4 people before he was shot dead by police. So far, press reports are littered with the usual “he was a quiet guy” garbage about Mohammad and the Sheriff of Merced County, Vern Warnke, who obviously knows zilch about Islamic doctrine and clearly hasn’t been paying much attention to Jihad in recent months, is insistent that this attack had nothing to do with “religion” or “politics,” but was the result of a personal vendetta...

Authorities say a man who was arrested for making threats against an East Texas church, allegedly did so citing God as the reason for his actions. On Sunday at 2:10 p.m., the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office received a call from the Corinth Church located on FM 346 near Lake Palestine. The caller said an unknown black male was wearing a camouflage helmet, camo pants, tactical vest and boots entered the church around 2:00 p.m. The caller also stated they could see what appeared to be a pistol in his pocket. The man was later identified as Rasheed Abdul Aziz, 40,...

14 years ago America sent its military heroes overseas to defend us from Jihad. Today, local police officers and sheriff’s deputies are being tasked with protecting military personnel and installations here in the United States from Jihad. This is a profound shift in the nature of the war which is, unfortunately, lost on the vast majority of Americans, including our elected and appointed officials. The global Jihadist insurgency has clearly become embedded in America and it is likely to get worse before it gets better. And the tip of the spear in this phase of the war is not our...

Americans seem to be oblivious or desensitized to the growing evidence that Jihad is hitting the streets here in America. About a week ago or so we posted a rundown of recent Jihadi activity on the continent of Africa, illustrating the fact that it has become the central front in the global Jihadist insurgency. What may not be apparent is the escalating level of Jihadi activity here in the USA. Even attacks such as those that occurred in 2014 in Moore, Oklahoma (beheading of a grandmother by a former Muslim co-worker) and Queens, New York (hatchet attack on NYPD officers)...

The FBI arrested two women in New York City who allegedly planned to bomb the city after the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) and other jihadist groups influenced them. They will appear in a Brooklyn court Thursday afternoon.
