BREITBART NEWS DAILY: FMR.FBI COUNTERTERRORISM AGENT: 'VAST MAJORITY' OF US MOSQUES/ISLAMIC CENTERS PART OF 'JIHADI NETWORK SHARE 3876 EMAIL 76 TWEET Islam 101 hounty Holy Qur'an (30:22-23) Yoon S. byun Boston Globe by TONY LEE4 Dec 2015 On Friday's Breitbart News Daily (6AM-9AM EST) on Sirius XM Patriot channel 125, former FBI counter-terrorism Special Agent John Guandolo argued that the "vast majority" of the 2,200 Islamic organizations, centers, and mosq are a part of a broader "Jihadi network" intent on imposing Sharia Law in America ues in the United States Guandolo told host and Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon that the San Bernardino terrorist, the UC Merced stabber, the Chattanooga shooter, and the Boston Bombers can all be traced back to such Islamic Centers where "they were supported and trained. Guandolo said that the San Bernardino terrorists attended the Islamic Center of Riverside, which he said was a "a Muslim Brotherhood Center. He noted that the Boston Bombers attended the Islamic Society of Boston, which he said was a subsidiary of the Islamic Society of North America that was founded by an al-Qaeda guy who used to advise former President Bill Clinton and former Vice President Al Gore and is now in prison. He said there are over 2,200 Islamic Centers and mosques in America and the "vast majority of them are a part of this network- they're hostile. He said "over 75%" of these centers, based on their property records, are a part of the "Muslim Brotherhood network since they are "owned by the North American Islamic Trust, which is the bank for the Muslim Brotherhood here. He said "in 2006, I put together the first training program inside the government on the jihadi network in the United States... and was able to sneak a second one in in early 2007 Guandolo trained "quite a number of agents from a variety of agencies,including the Department of Justice, before the government shut down the programs. He mentioned that the "most prominent Muslim Brotherhood Organizations like the Islamic Society of North America, Muslim Public Affairs Council, and the Hamas organization called the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR)-complained to the White House about the training inside the government at the FBI." Guandolo said he "came to understand very deeply the massive jihadi network we have in the United States" and discovered that "the leaders of the Islamic organizations... were actually interfacing with government leaders and advising them with how to proceed in the war on terror, as it was called. Guandolo realized that "we were being advised by the enemy on how to investigate and deal with the enemy" and "and that's why I started the training. He mentioned that in the U.S. u. Holy Land Foundation case in 2008, a 15-year FBI investigation that was revealed demonstrated "that the most prominent Islamic organizations in America and North America are a part of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, the jihadi network here. Guandolo said that "internal documents entered into evidence say that the purpose of this network is to wage civilization jihad.. until the entire world, and specifically the United States, is under Sharia law and the Islamic State is He said that, for instance, the "Islamic Society of North America (ISNA)-the largest Muslim Brotherhood organization here-is a Hamas funding entity" and its leadership works with the Secretary of State and the National Security staff, the previous four Secretaries of State, and briefs the FBI and CIA. He mentioned that the previous president of ISNA Mohamed Magid works "very closely with the White House and sits on the Homeland Security Advisory Committee with a secret clearance. Guandolo emphasized that these Muslim leaders are the ones that are working with the FBI, Pentagon, Department of Homeland Security, National Security staffs. "Look at our policy for domestic terrorism... and you can track it back to these organizations," he said, adding that "they write policy" and say "look, this is offensive to Muslims and this is how you need to do it, and we have done it. Guandolo said that it is "insane" that these leaders serve a liaisons "between the Muslim community and the U.S. Governmen. This is the kind of operation these guys are doing here," he said. Saying that he only speaks "with what I would walk into a court of law with" because there is "no issue with the amount of evidence" on the matter, Guandolo said the objective of the jihadi network is to "to establish an Islamic State under Sharia. For instance, he said the Muslim Brotherhood's own bylaws in English explicitly state that "they must fight the tyrants and enemies of Allah. He also said the one of the biggest mistakes in dealing with Islamic terrorism is that "we want to tie it to ISIS or another group when this is "part of a much broader movement and more "than one organization. That network is not being touched," he said. "That network in Paris that supported that More troubling, according to Guandolo, is that many authorities in the federal government are oblivious to the Jihadi network. He said during one of his training sessions, someone who had been in the FBI and counterterrorism for over 14 years and was so angry that he "had never heard of the information you are putting out here. When he asked others in audience from the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and other government agencies to "raise your hand if you knew this... zero hands went up. That right there is the issue," he said, adding that he has even briefed three- and four-star generals who had also been clueless. "They don't know it. Guandolo said that even senior government officials have "no idea this is going on inside the United States because the people advising us are the leaders of the organizations-that per evidence in counterterrorism trials-have been identified organizations that are Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, al-Qaeda" who are "necessarily hostile to our system, our war fighting, our way of life. That's the problem. Guandolo runs the understandingthethreat.com site and is the author of Raising a Jihadi Listen to the interview below:

Loretta Lynch Vows to Prosecute Those Who Use Anti-Muslim' Speech That 'Edges Toward Violence' AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta DEPARTMENT BY: JAMES BARRETT DECEMBER 4, https://archive.is/YS8tK he day after a horrific shooting spree by a "radicalized" Muslim man and his partner in San Bernardino, California, Attorney General Loretta Lynch pledged to a group of Muslim activists that she would take aggressive action against anyone who used "anti-Muslim rhetoric that "edges toward violence" 2576 Speaking to the audience at the Muslim Advocate's 10th anniversary dinner Thursday, Lynch said her "greatest fear" is the "incredibly disturbing rise of anti-Muslim rhetoric" in America and vowed to prosecute any guilty of what she deemed violence-inspiring speech. She said 79454 The fear that you have just mentioned is in fact my greatest fear as a prosecutor, as someone who is sworn to the protection of all of the American people, which is that the rhetoric will be accompanied by acts of violence. My message to not just the Muslim community but to the entire American community is: we cannot give in to the fear that these backlashes are really based on Assuring the pro-Muslim group that "we stand with you," Lynch said she would use her Justice Department to protect Muslims from "violence" and discrimination "When we talk about the First Amendment we [must] make it clear that actions predicated on violent talk are not American." Claiming that violence against Muslims is on the rise and citing France's clamp down on potentially radicalized mosques, Lynch suggested the Constitution does not protect actions predicated on violent talk" and pledged to prosecute those responsible for such actions ATTORNEY GENERAL LORETTA LYNCH "When we talk about the First Amendment we [must] make it clear that actions predicated on violent talk are not American," said Lynch. "They are not who we are, they are not what we do, and they will be prosecuted." "My message not just to the Muslim community but to all Americans is "We cannot give in to the fear that these backlashes are really based on," said Lynch It is painfully clear that, like her predecessor Eric Holder, Lynch is far more concerned with promoting the social justice agenda than protecting the Constitutional rights of American citizens. What exactly is speech that "edges toward violence"? What exactly are "actions predicated on violent talk"? In the end, it is whatever she decides it to mean UPDATE: Loretta Lynch, at a press conference yesterday, termed the San Bernardino shootings a "wonderful opportunity" to change the nature of police work We're at the point where these issues have come together really like never before in law enforcement thought and in our nation's history and it gives us a wonderful opportunity and a wonderful moment to really make significant change TAGS: FREE SPEECH, ISLAM, LORETTA LYNCH, OBAMA ADMINISTRATION, RACE, SOCIAL JUSTICE, TERRORISM

Overview

The 2015 San Bernardino Shooting was a mass shooting that occurred at the Inland Regional Center, a not-for-profit agency providing services to people with developmental disabilities, in San Bernardino, California in early December, 2015.

Background

On December 2nd, 2015, the married couple Syed Rizwan Farook and wife Tashfeen Malik left their six-month-old daughter with Farook's mother before traveling to the Inland Regional Center wearing ski masks, camouflage and armed with two AR-15 rifles and two semi-automatic pistols. The two opened fire on people in attendance of a holiday party for the San Bernardino County Department of Health, killing 14 people and injuring 21 others. The pair fled the scene and were pursued by law enforcement, ending in a shootout on East San Bernardino Boulevard approximately 1.7 miles away. Both suspects were killed and one officer was injured in the conflict.

Notable Developments

Shooters Identified

That evening, police identified the deceased suspects as Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik. Farook was a 28-year-old American citizen and son of Pakistani immigrants and Malik was a 27-year-old woman originally from Pakistan who Farook met during a trip to Saudi Arabia in the spring of 2014. The couple had a six-month-old daughter

Investigation

The motive for the attack is currently under investigation. On December 2nd, rumors circulated that Farook was in attendance of the holiday party prior to the shooting and angrily left before returning with weapons and tactical gear. The following day, the FBI revealed that Farook had been in touch with people being investigated by the agency for international terrorism. Additionally, 12 pipe bombs and tools that could be used to construct various explosives were discovered in Farook's home. Additionally, the weapons used in the firearms used in the shooting had been legally purchased in another state, but had been modified to fire in fully-automatic mode. That day, CNN^[2] reported that Farook had been "radicalized" according to law enforcement officials and that the FBI is was investigating if the incident was intended to be a terror attack.^[4] On December 4th, CNN reported that investigators believed Malik posted a "pledge of allegiance" on Facebook to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi under a pseudonym account during the shooting. Additionally, the article reported that a law enforcement official stated "This is looking more and more like self-radicalization" and that the couple did not appear to be operating under ISIS leadership.

Online Reactions

On December 2nd, the KPCCRadio YouTube channel uploaded video footage of survivors being directed by police officers inside the Inland Regional Center following the shooting (shown below). The following day, Redditor CarlosWeiner submitted the footage to the /r/videos^[3] subreddit, where it gathered upwards of 3,100 votes (83% upvoted) and 620 comments in less than 24 hours.

On Twitter, the misspelled hashtag #SanBernadino began trending worldwide. Additionally, the hashtag "#America_Burning" was tweeted by supporters of ISIS.

On December 3rd, the New York Daily ran the front page headline "God Isn't Fixing This," which featured tweets by Republican politicians mentioning "prayers" for victims of the shooting, referring to the statements as "platitudes" (shown below).

iPhone Unlock Court Order

On February 16th, 2016, a U.S. District Court judge presiding over the case ordered Apple to provide "reasonable technical assistance" to the federal investigators in unlocking the data stored on an iPhone that had been owned by Farook. According to the court ruling, Apple has been ordered to help the FBI with clearing at least two technical obstacles hindering their investigation: disabling the phone's auto-erase function, which activates after 10 consecutive failed attempts at entering the password, and installing a custom-coded version of the iPhone operating system that would allow investigators to bypass the phone's security features electronically. The next morning, Apple CEO Tim Cook released an open letter^[5] titled “A Message to Our Customers,” revealing that the U.S. government demanded the company unlock an iPhone that had been recovered during the San Bernardino shooting investigation. The company also announced its intention to challenge the court ruling, asserting that its compliance would require creating a “backdoor” to circumvent its own security measures, an action that could set a dangerous precedence in cooperation between the government and the information technology sector.

"We can find no precedent for an American company being forced to expose its customers to a greater risk of attack. For years, cryptologists and national security experts have been warning against weakening encryption. Doing so would hurt only the well-meaning and law-abiding citizens who rely on companies like Apple to protect their data."

On February 17th, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump urged Apple to unlock the phone (shown below).

On February 18th, Business Insider^[6] published an article by John McAfee, who offered to decrypt the iPhone free of charge in three weeks to prevent Apple from compromising iPhone devices. In the coming days, several news sites published articles about the government request, including CNN,^[7] Wired,^[8] The Washington Post,^[9] The New York Times,^[10] NBC News^[11] and USA Today.^[12]
