The incidents detailed here are among dozens of alleged disrupted by police and federal agents since ISIS began to rise from the flames of the Syrian civil war.

They include:

Bosnian refugees who aided America's enemies with cash for equipment. They fled the war in Yugoslavia to enjoy new lives in the US - but are now accused of conspiring to help its deadliest enemies.

Six Bosnian immigrants, three from Missouri, two from Illinois and one from New York, were charged in February with sending money and military equipment to extremist groups in Syria including ISIS and the Al Qaeda-affiliated Al-Nusra Front.

Among the accused are Ramiz Zjad Hodzic, 40 and his wife Sedina, 35, who allegedly gathered money to purchase military uniforms and tactical gear so they could send it to fighters in Syria.

Also facing trial are Armin Harcevic, 37, Nihad Rosic, 26, and Mediha Medy Salkicevic, 34. Jasminka Ramic, 42, pleaded guilty last month.

According to court documents the group conspired via phone, Facebook and email using innocuous code words such as 'beach' for places like Iraq and Syria while using PayPal and Western Union to send funds to fanatics.

'All six individuals are natives of Bosnia who immigrated to the United States,' the US attorney's office said in a statement announcing the charges.

'Three have become naturalized citizens of the United States and the remaining three have either refugee or legal resident status.'

Cousins Jonas and Hasan Edmonds - a National Guard soldier - are accused of plotting a ‘Charlie Hebdo’-style raid on a military facility.

Prosecutors say the pair planned to utilize Hasan’s inside knowledge to slaughter around 120 servicemen at the Illinois National Guard Armory.

They pair scoped out the facility together and Hasan, 22, gathered training schedules, building layouts and a uniform.

According to the FBI complaint, Jonas, 29, was poised to execute the plot while Hasan headed to the Middle East to fight alongside ISIS.

Hasan was arrested March 25 when he tried to fly from Chicago to Egypt and Jonas was arrested the same day in Aurora, Illinois. Both men are due to stand trial.

‘The defendants allegedly conspired to provide material support to ISIL and planned to travel overseas to support the terrorist organization’ announced Assistant Attorney General Carlin.

Yemeni-born Mufid Elfgeeh was a naturalized American citizen running a pizza and chicken shop in Rochester, New York.

But in May 2014 he became one of the first people on American soil to be arrested and accused of being a recruiter for ISIS.

Authorities say the 30-year-old plotted to send three men to a ‘welcoming camp’ in Syria for jihadist education and training.

According to the Department of Justice he was also plotting to shoot and kill members of the United States military who had returned from Iraq.

Elgeeh was arrested in a Walmart parking car lot after taking possession of two guns with silencers and ammunition.

He denies attempting to provide material support and resources to ISIS, attempted murder, various firearms charges and assault on three deputies involved in his arrest.

“Yet Presidents Obama insists says that ‘slamming the door’ on Syrian refugees fleeing ISIS would be a betrayal of American values.”

The only betrayal of American values was electing that POS president.

We may catch most of them, but it only takes one successful attempt and innocent people are dead. So kick them all out.

These Muslims will kill again, and the MSM will call it “home grown terror” only because they happen to have US citizenships.

A knife wielding fanatic planned to kill police. Plan ‘A’ was to hunt down and behead Anti-Islam campaigner Pamela Geller in an apparent revenge plot over the deaths of their fellow fanatics at her Texas event.

But after a week of scheming, Usaamah Rahim, 26, decided his ISIS-inspired bloodlust could not wait any longer – and vowed to kill members of ‘the thin blue line’ instead.

Faced with an imminent threat to law enforcement, FBI and police cornered Rahim on a Boston sidewalk on June 2 and he was fatally shot when he refused to drop his knife.

His alleged co-conspirators David Wright, 25, of Everett, Massachusetts, and Nicholas Rovinski, 24, of Warwick, Rhode Island, were charged with conspiracy to provide material support to ISIS.

Wright, one of Rahim’s relations, was also charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice.

‘It won’t end with me or the cops,’ Geller later told NBC. ‘It’s just beginning. The one thing that’s being ignored that came out of Garland is that ISIS is here. Islamic terrorism is here.’

I know. The article link is worth the read. I’ve only copy/pasted the description of a FEW of the people that have been caught, not to mention it’s clear there are so many more who have not.

No. They’re not clueless. They intend to destroy the United States by filling it with people who hate the US. What their end game is remains a mystery. That is where they are clueless. Surely they realize that if their plan works there is no place left for them even if they are rich. Not here, anyway. Maybe they plan on self-identifying as something else. But that only works in their bizarre world. No Muslim, for example, will believe Bruce Jenner is a woman. He will hang with the rest of us even if he puts on the black bed sheets.
