Even West Virginia is not immune from the disease of radical Islam and the outreach of Muslim missionaries.

Paul and Jarrad take us back to last year when one Johnny Jihad told the world via Skype interview what the ISIS plans were for the western society. We thought you might need a reminder.

During our SOTG Homeroom segment from Crossbreed Holsters, Paul take some time to consider the gun as a simple machine. Every machine has moving parts and some will wear out over time.

We will talk about the easiest to replace parts of pistols and rifles, parts that you do not need to be a gunsmith to change out.

From www.vice.com:

The same Islamic State militant with Calgary roots who burned his passport in a propaganda video, threatened the White House in an exclusive Skype interview with VICE founder Shane Smith last year, and claimed Canada wasn’t immune to the same types of attacks appears to be alive and tweeting, spreading fresh messages promoting jihad in Syria and Iraq.

The same online account linked with Farah Mohammed Shirdon—a 22-year-old Calgary native who joined the Islamic State sometime in the last two years and is arguably Canada’s most notorious Islamic State fighter in Syria and Iraq—reappeared on Twitter only for the social media company to suspend the account yesterday.

The jihadist, who goes by “Abu Usamah” online, said via the Kik messaging app that Twitter continues to kick him off of the popular social media platform. The same account I’ve communicated with is linked to other defunct social media accounts posting images of what appears to be Shirdon in Syria or Iraq, and connected to other known Islamic State profiles online.

According to him, Twitter admins booted him “five times” and didn’t notify Usamah on why he was suspended. His response: “I’m not too big on Twitter anymore. Don’t got the time.” At the same time we exchanged messages, Usamah said he monitored my reporting from Russia in early March.

When asked if he was in the so-called Islamic State—in the past he claimed to be in Mosul and Raqqa, respectively—Usamah was evasive, claiming he could be in “Libya.”

It’s not clear whether that’s true. While the Islamic State is proving to be a growing player in the country once ruled by dictator Muammar Gaddafi, Usamah has often been a playful character online, once telling me in a message that “I’m an actor homie.”

On a Twitter profile linked to his online persona as the “Muhajir Sumalee” (the same suspended profile promoted his Kik and Surespot messaging profiles), Usamah mentions being in Raqqa—the center of Islamic State activity in Syria.

While VICE Canada was unable to independently verify Usamah’s identity, Canada’s respective federal law enforcement and intelligence agency both said they wouldn’t talk about him.

And a new photo surfacing from his latest Twitter account appears to show Usamah to the left of a fighter and close friend who recently died in combat with the Islamic State.

It also appears Usamah is keenly aware of online surveillance of infamous Islamic State Twitter habits. In a post, he advises online ISIS-linked Twitter accounts against overshares.

“Don’t compromise the life of your brothers in exchange for a few retweets,” he wrote. That kind of advice starkly contrasts Islamic State militants who tweeted the live execution of thousands of Shia men in June.

As he has in the past, Usamah is attempting to entice fresh recruits from the West to make Hijra (meaning a “migration” to Syria or Iraq) and fight for the Islamic State, asking potentials in one post, “how many have been speaking about their desire for Hijrah for months but are still sitting idle in Dar al Kufr? Act, dont speak!”

For Islamic State sympathizers at home, Usamah compels them to attack citizens. “How can rat poison be your ticket to Jannah [paradise]?” he says in one tweet. “All it takes is to invite your (kafir) neighbors over for BBQ and poison them.”

The RCMP declined to comment on the status of Abu Usamah, stating in an email that “only in the event that an investigation results in the laying of criminal charges, would the RCMP confirm its investigation, the nature of any charges laid and the identity of the individual(s) involved.”

The Canadian Security and Intelligence Service (CSIS) similarly declined to comment on Abu Usamah to VICE Canada.

Though the RCMP deferred on whether Shirdon is under investigation, it recently laid terror-related charges against three individuals with Ottawa connections, including John “Yahya” McGuire—who similarly appeared in ISIS video propaganda in the summer—charging him with “facilitating an activity for a terrorist group” along with two other crimes.

From wset.com:

Roanoke County Police say they contacted FBI investigators immediately after a knife attack outside an apartment complex over the weekend.

The suspect in the attack is identified as Wasil Farooqui, 20, of Roanoke County.

The stabbing happened Saturday night at The Pines Apartments where witnesses told police the attacker was yelling “Allah Akbar” during the assault.

“The FBI is working with the Police Department following the incident that occurred on Saturday evening,” Adam Lee, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Richmond Division, said in a release. “While I cannot discuss details of the investigation at this time, I do want to reassure the community that we are working to determine the nature of this incident.”

An FBI spokesperson declined to release further information.

ABC News reported that Farooqui may have been trying to behead the male victim in a possible ISIS-inspired attack, but on Tuesday, Roanoke County Police said the victim suffered multiple lacerations all over his body, including his neck, and it did not appear to be an attempt at a beheading.

They say federal authorities have been aware of Farooqui for some time. ABC News cites sources close to the investigation saying in the past year, he traveled to Turkey and may have tried to sneak into Syria.

According to inmate information found on the Western Virginia Regional Jail website, Farooqui was born in the United States, and is a U.S. citizen.

He has been charged with two counts of aggravated malicious wounding and is being held without bond at the Western Virginia Regional Jail.

Police say they do not want to release the names of the victims “to allow them privacy as they recover from their injuries,” but they did say the victims are said to be recovering well.

Police say no more information will be released at this time.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Roanoke County Police Department at (540) 562-3265.
