Where did Kristopher Sean Matthews, who is presumably a convert to Islam with a name like that, learn about his new religion? Has his mosque been investigated? Why not? Is it being assumed that he was a “lone wolf” who existed in a vacuum, with no one around him who shared his views or aspirations aside from Jaylyn Christopher Molina? Why?
“South Carolina man pleads guilty to supporting Islamic State,” by Darryl Coote, UPI, November 24, 2020:
Nov. 24 (UPI) — A South Carolina man pleaded guilty Tuesday to conspiring to provide the terrorist organization the Islamic State with material support, prosecutors said.
Kristopher Sean Matthews, 34, of San Antonio pleaded guilty before U.S. Magistrate Judge Elizabeth Chestney to a single conspiracy charge to provide IS with support.
In his plea, Matthews admitted to conspiring with Jaylyn Christopher Molina, 22, in Coast, Texas, since May of last year to share bomb-making information to create devices used in domestic and foreign terrorist attacks in the name of IS. He also admitted to attempting to “radicalize and recruit” others to the terrorist organization, the Justice Department said in a release….
According to court documents from the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas in San Antonio, the FBI used undercover agents and confidential sources to monitor the pair and documented them discussing plans to conduct attacks, South Carolina’s The State reported.
The men had discussed conducting attacks on New York City’s Trump Tower and the stock exchange, among other high-profile locations.
Matthews is quoted in the court documents as having said if they could successfully conduct their attack they would achieve “rock star status.”
“This could be Netflix worthy,” he said, referring to the online television and movie streaming platform….

Anglo-Celtic Kristopher Sean Matthews reminds us that Islam is not a race, and that criticizing his ideology is not ‘racist’, but rather a form of political science. It is the IDEOLOGY of jihadism that convinced Kristopher Sean Matthews that it was his duty to murder non-Muslims and that Allah would reward such murders with eternal sex with slaves in Islamic paradise.
What sane person would not criticize the ideology of Anglo-Celtic Kristopher Sean Matthews?

Exactly, PCWs everywhere spreading their islamophilia.

Another convert to Islam ended up being a terrorist ?? “ if a Muslim is a piece of gold ,don’t put it into your pocket otherwise it would rip through “
Seth says
I have a theory, and I’m wondering what others think. Whenever we hear about the government acting stupid about Jihad, like saying its workplace violence or there’s no motive, I think it’s possibly a cover. As this story explains, “the FBI used undercover agents and confidential sources” to foil this plot. So who are these people? It seems the FBI must have Muslims who have been in the community for years, who can blend in as Jihadi’s with a full comprehension of the Koran’s most violent verses yet still remain loyal to protecting US citizens. Perhaps if the government comes out with the “truth” that we all know, about the dangers of Islam, then these undercover sources might no longer be so loyal anymore and we would lose our ability to foil upcoming plots. Does this sound naive? Or is perhaps the governement doing what it needs to do to keep us safe?

I think two things we can assert about Kris: not smart, not sane. Since we all want the company of people like us, he chose his religion wisely.

Where does South Carolina come in here? The loon is from San Antonio.

I found the answer, Pat, in another account:
“Matthews, 34, of Elgin, said he colluded with a Texas man, Jaylyn Christopher Molina, aka Abdur Rahim, over a period of months on a plot to share info on how to make bombs for domestic and foreign attacks on behalf of ISIS, as well as to radicalize and recruit others.”
Elgin is in South Carolina.

Question to all regulars here: why are educated and well-off people of European descent becoming Muslim? What is the appeal?
eduardo odraude says
According to David Wood, he has never met a Muslim convert who converted after doing a careful and thoughtful study of the core Islamic sources, Qur’an, Hadith, Sira. Virtually always, conversion is based on something far less circumspect, far more superficial. One well-known convert on youtube described how the Islamic claim that the Qur’an has been perfectly preserved down to the letter from the time of Muhammad, and therefore is a trustworthy message verbatim from the mouth of Allah, is what drew him to convert to Islam — he obviously never bothered to test whether the claim was in fact true, what evidentiary basis it had, whether there exists counter-evidence. And there is a great deal of evidence in the Islamic sources themselves that the Qur’an has not been perfectly preserved. The earliest Muslims who preserved and memorized the Qur’an disagreed among themselves, for example about how many chapters the Qur’an has. The Islamic sources also mention how some of the Qur’an was lost when the Muslims who had memorized those parts were killed in battles. The sources also report that Uthman, one of the “rightly guided successors” to Muhammad had all versions of the Qur’an brought to him, then had an official version made, and finally burned all the material that had been brought to him!

Thank you Eduardo for your explanation!

Trust a mohammedan convert at your own peril.
OLD GUY says
He didn’t become an Islamic terrorist all by himself, there are others involved in his radicalization. The beauty of calling Islam a religion is it gives these terrorist a great cover and legal protection to operate inside of multiple countries.
