PHILADELPHIA – A U.S. teen from Pakistan is in secret custody, accused of helping recruit terrorists for the woman known as "Jihad Jane," a person close to the boy's family said Friday.

Charges filed last month accuse the 17-year-old of helping Colleen LaRose in her alleged efforts to incite an Islamic holy war. Prosecutors have said LaRose was a convert to Islam who wrote of being driven by an urge to help suffering Muslims.

The high school graduate had accepted a full scholarship to Johns Hopkins University, according to the person. He is instead in custody at a youth facility. He could be moved to an adult prison -- and have his case moved to adult court -- when he turns 18 next month.

I have met many converts to Christianity and converts to Buddhism. Christian converts I know go to church a lot, pray, counsel others, join charities, volunteer at soup kitchens. Buddhist converts I know meditate, become vegetarians, preach non-violence.

Why is always the Islam converts who want to blow stuff up or go to Af-Pak to get trained in killing infidels?

Aiding terrorism is probably what got him/her/whatever the scholarship.

Because that's why they converted in the first place.

The cause of Muslim suffering is Islam. Her mission is doomed from the start. However, helping Muslims kill many innocent people may make her feel better according to Muslim values.

Because it is easier to hate and force others to your will than it is to love them and reason with them. Then, as a Muslim. if the person rejects your efforts you simply kill them to stay on Allah's good side an absolve yourself of guilt.

Hating takes no effort, love does.

I don’t know at all... the article stated the teen has lived in the U.S. for only four years. I don’t consider that “home grown” whatsoever. Isn’t that more of a “sleeper cell” than anything?

Many of these people embrace Islam, because it’s “Contarian”, not because they believe in it, but it’s just another way to rebel.

Hate to say it, but I think the Fibbies screwed this up:

Any good liar lawyer will get anything found as a result of those searches and interrogations tossed out of court, as "they didn't understand what they were consenting to." I do hope they have more than that on this bitch and her crew.
