Syrian Refugee Arrested for Plotting Terror Attack on Pittsburgh Church
The argument to take in more refugees just got a little tougher. From ABC News:
The Department of Justice announced the arrest of a Syrian refugee on Wednesday in connection with an Islamic State-inspired terrorist attack on a Christian church in Pittsburgh.
Mustafa Mousab Alowemer, 21, was accused by federal prosecutors in court documents filed on Wednesday of planning to attack a church on the north side of Pittsburgh, the Legacy International Worship Center, “to support the cause of ISIS and to inspire other ISIS supporters in the United States.”
According to the criminal complaint, Alowemer was born in Daraa, Syria and was admitted to the U.S. as a refugee in August 2016.
According to law enforcement, Alowemer had pledged his obedience to ISIS. He targeted the church for having several Nigerian attendees to “take revenge for our [ISIS] brothers in Nigeria.”

Walls, borders, the rule of law, combating illegal immigration while being humane and asking for help from the border countries, and most of all, standing up for Judaeo-Christian Western civilization’s principles and values that are fading – there’s a reason for it all and why our president is doing what he’s doing….
This is obviously Trump’s fault.
But I thought Syrian Islamic “refugees” had been sorted out from ISIS. President Trump had certainly ordered restrictions on visas from Syria.

So, did this punk get in before or after the 2017 increased scrutiny order?

Which State Department employee signed off on this case? Are all their other cases being reviewed now?
Oh, yes. This is another instance of the red-green alliance acting. Expect Democrats, including AOC, Tlaib, and Omar, to criticize the enforcement operation and expect them to go on about “islamophobia.”
I am islamophobic, and will tell the pieces of trash in our government exactly why. I have read the koran, and I know what it teaches: to hate, kill, or take as slaves anyone who refuses to convert to islam. Their specialty are the Jews, then Christians, then anyone else they take exception to. All islamist should be rounded up and expelled from this great American country where we have freedom of religion which islam takes advantage of.
