He just “fell under the influence”. It’s an accident It can’t be a problem with Islam or what the koran actually says.

Geller is indirectly responsible for flushing out two that got killed by security and the imprisonment of this ISIS creep.

Need more like her.

Victory over terrorism?

The only way to be victourious over Islam is to declare it a terrorist cult and ban it from western countries. ALL MUSLIMS ARE COMMANDED TO KILL INFIDELS.

These ISIS wannabe attackers might have met Allah earlier if they tangled with Geller. She is not a woman to be messed with.

Where they members of the Massachusetts ISIS or foreign imports?

“A man who authorities say fell under the influence of the Islamic State group”

Framing the perp as a victim...he was duped!
