Conflicted portrait emerges of SoCal terrorists' pal, as possible charges loom
Fox News.com ^ | December 10, 2015

The friend who allegedly supplied the Southern California jihadist couple with the guns used in last week's terror attack and who sources said could soon be charged in connection with the case presented himself to friends as "laid back" but seemed to be in constant personal conflict.

Enrique Marquez was married, but didn't live with his wife. He had converted to Islam but confided in a mosque worker that he wanted to become a Buddhist. He could be witty and laugh at himself, but often posted dejected missives on Facebook.

And he was reportedly not a particularly pious Muslim and even spoke of joining the military yet he allegedly plotted a scuttled terror attack with boyhood friend Syed Farook and is believed to have purchased two of the weapons Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, would eventually use to murder 14 people and injure 21 others at a holiday party on Dec. 2. Farook and Malik were killed in a subsequent shootout, and Marquez has so far been cooperating with authorities.

"It was hard to make a conclusion about what he was like," Sid Hashemi, a former boss of Marquez, told Reuters.

“It was hard to make a conclusion about what he was like...” ~ former boss and fellow Islamist

Hmmm. How about crazy as a sh#thouse rat?

Oh, Sorry! I’m, ‘profiling,’ LOL! *SNORT*

Isn’t it always a conflicted, nuanced portrait?

How would we have defeated our enemies within during the second world war with this conflicted stuff?

given:

not a particularly pious Muslim

plotted a scuttled terror attack with boyhood friend Syed Farook

The take away of this story is that even a "moderate" mudslime has got terror built-in.

Moral: ALWAYS Treat the Mudslime as if it is loaded. It just might be! Never point a mudslime at any human, as it might go off and kill.

With Home Land Security coming out last week saying we need to be on Highest Alert, and now this...makes you wonder if the rest of the terror cell isn’t ready to do more damage around Christmas time...somewhere in the U.S.

You’re right! We wouldn’t have been victorious!

I fear that you are right. People traveling to and from major metro areas this Christmas season need our prayers.

From http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/enrique-marquez-warned-muslims-ready-haywire-article-1.2459822

Meanwhile, records show Marquez was wed Nov. 29, 2014, to Russian bride Mariya Chernykh — whose sister Tatiana was married three years earlier to Syed’s brother Raheel Farook.

Seems more like a marriage to get into the U.S.

Sounds like a scam marriage to the sister of the brother of the terrorist... Or something.

If this reprobate traitor legally obtained the mentioned firearms via a legally possessed FFL (Federal Firearms License) THEN transferred them ILLEGALLY to the “TWO” then he should be locked up for life. This should be a base for a federal law that unconditionally terminates any person in the USA (legal or not) who provides weapons of ANY type to terrorists or intended terrorists.

If the federal courts were not dominated by liberals, we could expect the EXISTING laws on the books to be enforced to the fullest extent and many of these situations would not be so easy to make happen. Our legal system is a farce and nothing more than a vehicle for liberal politics.

We’ve always had internal enemies. Italian and Jewish anarchists, communists, German and Japanese American traitors, and yet we survived them all. Will we today?
