Jihad in America in 2014
2015 is off to such an aggressive and increasingly violent campaign by Muslims only to be countered by an even more astonishingly complicit defense by the media that most haven’t had a chance to reflect on just how bad a year 2014 was.

What a difference a year makes. One year ago, most Americans had never even heard of the Islamic State (ISIS or ISIL). Despite this ignorance and the Obama administration’s prohibition of criticism of Islam, denial is not an effective defense. So the jihad raged on this past year, culminating in the mass slaughter Wednesday of a magazine editor and his staff in Paris because they mocked Islam.
Islamic jihadists were more active than ever in the United States in 2014. Most of the jihad plots and attacks were under-reported or misreported: in every case, law enforcement and government authorities ignored, denied, or obfuscated the guiding motive of each plot and attack: the teachings of Islam.
The most egregious example of this came in late September, when a Muslim in Oklahoma beheaded a female coworker at a food-processing plant and started to behead another before being shot. He had tried to convert coworkers to Islam and had a photo of a beheading accompanied by a Qur’an verse on his Facebook page. Authorities, true to form, refused to call it jihad or even terrorism.
Jihad terror returned to New York City the following month, when a Muslim named Zale Thompson attacked four NYPD cops with an axe, striking one cop in the head. Authorities didn’t call this terrorism either, even though the Islamic State had called upon Muslims to attack police in Western countries. Soon afterward, a Muslim named Ismaaiyl Abdullah Muhammad, aka Ismaaiyl Abdullah Brinsley, murdered two NYPD police officers on a Brooklyn street. He had on his Facebook page a photo of the Qur’an open to the passage, “Strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah.”
This came after Muslim groups such as CAIR worked hard to co-opt racial tensions in Ferguson and elsewhere. In Seattle in December, a Muslim was arrested for threats to kill Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson. A Muslim in Colorado stabbed a police officer, and during the ensuing struggle, dropped a Quran he had in his pocket.
Jihad attacks in the U.S. in 2014 began long before the stoking of racial tensions. In January, a convert to Islam in Maryland, a veteran of the US military, got seven years for trying to join a jihad terror group. Not long thereafter, a Muslim cabbie in California got six years for providing aid to the Islamic jihad terror group al-Shabaab. In Atlanta, explosive materials were found in a Muslim student’s apartment after he was severely burned by an “incendiary device” – the student died not long thereafter.
Jihadis have been training for more as well. In February, more jihad terror training compounds were discovered in Texas. A New York City Muslim pleaded guilty to building homemade bombs to attack soldiers, police, and the George Washington Bridge. In Arizona, a Muslim murderer who set off a bomb in a Social Security office got five years in prison. A Muslim convert National Guardsman plotted to bomb the Los Angeles subway and was charged with attempting to aid al-Qaida.
In March, a Muslim from Michigan was arrested on his way to join the Islamic terror group Hizballah, and a convert to Islam in Florida was charged with aiding terrorists; he had made jihad recruitment videos and destroyed Christian statues in a cemetery. Two Muslims from North Carolina were arrested on terrorism charges; they had planned to travel to Syria and Yemen to fight for Islam. In October, three missing Colorado Muslim teen girls were found in Germany, bound for the Islamic State.
Some Muslims made it to the Islamic State. An American Muslim killed himself in a suicide bombing in Syria; he was Florida-born and raised in a middle-class family. Numerous Muslims from Minnesota also traveled to Syria to join the Islamic State. An American convert to Islam called for Obama and his family to be beheaded and boasted that the Islamic State would encompass the world. In June, a devout Muslim from Texas pleaded guilty to attempting to join the Islamic State.
Shortly after that in Denver, a teenage girl who had converted to Islam was arrested at the airport on terror charges; she was en route to join the Islamic State. In August, another American Muslim convert, Douglas McAuthur McCain, aka “Duale, ThaslaveofAllah,” was killed fighting for the Islamic State in Syria. A second Muslim from the U.S., Abdirahmaan Muhumed, was killed in Syria shortly thereafter; he had worked for Delta at the Minneapolis airport. The FBI was forced to probe jihad recruiting in Minneapolis after more American Muslims died fighting for the Islamic State. Yet in September, a 19-year-old Muslim girl left Minnesota to fight for the Islamic State. And in December, another Minnesota Muslim woman was charged with stealing a passport to travel to Syria.
In April, a Muslim was arrested for shooting at motorists on a Kansas City highway; hewas charged with eighteen counts in twenty shootings. A Muslim in Texas was chargedwith terroristic threats in a Walmart Easter bomb scare. In Virginia in May, two Muslims were convicted of piracy; they were ready to launch a rocket-propelled grenade at a Navy ship.
Then in June, a Florida Muslim who threatened a “second 911” was found guilty of terror charges. In New York, a Muslim businessman named Mufeed Elfgeeh was charged with attempting to kill “officers of the United States and “recruiting for the Islamic State.” Two Texas Muslims were arrested on terrorism charges, including “committing violent jihad.” A devout Muslim from Seattle, Ali Muhammad Brown, was charged with executing two gay men; he was previously prosecuted federally after an FBI investigation into an Islamic group that was suspected of aiding jihadists outside the U.S. He said his killings were acts of jihad “vengeance” against the U.S.
Terror attacks and plots were both large-scale and small-scale. Jihadists planned a terror attack on the US Open; an al-Qaida magazine instructed Muslim terrorists about where to set off the bombs. The Islamic State called for devout Muslims in America to go to the homes of US soldiers and “slaughter them.” On the other end of the spectrum, in September, Florida Muslims attacked bar patrons and threatened to “kidnap an American and behead him.” In November, a Muslim in Oklahoma stabbed a Christian after they had a heated argument over beheading.
