A 22-year-old man who claimed to be “ready to die” for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS or ISIL) was arrested at his Queens home by federal agents Thursday morning for allegedly making efforts to support the Mideast terrorist group.
Ali Saleh, whose exact address was not disclosed, allegedly made multiple unsuccessful attempts to travel to the area under ISIS control. His first failed attempt reportedly came when he booked a reservation for a flight from John F. Kennedy Airport to Istanbul, which he did not make.
“I’m ready to die for the Caliphate, prison is nothing,” he allegedly tweeted days before the scheduled flight.
In July of this year, prosecutors said, Saleh made additional attempts to travel to the Middle East and support ISIS, initially booking a flight from JFK to Cairo, Egypt. He allegedly used his Twitter account to reach out to an ISIS supporter known to instruct followers on how to travel to Libya, where ISIS is also present.

You begin to wonder...either some these guys are so dumb that they make their views known online and are easyily caught....or...a few of these guys are bogus, so the feds easily "catch" them to lull us into a false sense of security that the govt is on top of it all.
LOL! So much for my conspiracy theory. This was one stupid radical. Thank God! Good work in catching the miserable, misguided lunatic.
We should be taking our cues from Europe and tighten up our borders.
Who knows what scum is creeping in with the real refugees seeking political asylum.
Lots of luck adopting such a policy with our overly liberal Dem buttholes, who belong in an asylum for posing great risk to the country.
Why do we still allow them to come into our country? Look what is happening in Europe. Are we that stupid?
If this sounds stupid I apologize, but if these lowlifes want to go overseas and join the islamic mafia that is ISIS, let them. Besides, judging by the harrowing refugee crisis, the only people left there will be the blood lusting koran abusing scumbags and the dictatorship with it's doting followers and it's brutal militias,military and police.
I don't know why we don't reinstate the draft if the threat from ISIS is that bad, they are only 30,000 strong, although they are being enabled by the rich muslim nations with their deliberate lack of action.
Let them eat their own. It's a pain in the ass to keep track and incarcerate these traitors and devils for the thoughts in their little minds. And we are surveilling people for having thoughts, this is only going to tie up the courts and there have been cases where pursuits like this don't end well.
I hope this doesn't get me in trouble with the feds. But that's what the internet is for say for the past 14 years, to monitor contrary thoughts and opinions.
So how is this immigration policy working out?
How many has that been now from Queens in the last couple of years. BTW, it was reported he was from the Jamaica section.
23 from Queens
12 from Brooklyn
33 from Jersey City
3 from Yonkers
2 from Long Island

Stop being an asshole, Obama is NOT a Muslim. You sound like that asshole women when McCain was running who made that stupid comment. Stick to fucking facts.
From the New York Times:

In foreign policy as well, Mr. Obama would bring to the White House an important experience that most other candidates lack: he has actually lived abroad. He spent four years as a child in Indonesia and attended schools in the Indonesian language, which he still speaks.
“I was a little Jakarta street kid,” he said in a wide-ranging interview in his office (excerpts are on my blog, www.nytimes.com/ontheground). He once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his elementary school, but a president is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics — and more likely to be aware of their nationalism — if he once studied the Koran with them.
Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”
You make your own decision.
I think he is a communist, and their religion IS the state. They worship overbearing, all controlling, oppressive government.
Sympathizer? Perhaps. But as his chief of staff, Emanuel said, "never let a crisis go to waste".
Each terrorist situation allows the ever tightening grip on our liberties & freedom, while growing the central government.
Follow what the terrorists do. Behead him!
Now that's a deterrent! LOL!
