Arkansas’ Lone Jihadist: How Alone Is He?
…
In several media interviews and defense and security workshops conducted over the past few years and months, I’ve made the case for the existence of a “force” behind these activities, pushing the Jihadi agenda and indoctrinating the “militants” into “fighting elements.”
As I studied the cases and compared them to each other, I found out that in each one case, there is a “clicking moment.”
Several U.S. and European legislators asked me about defining the “clicking moment” where a militant becomes a terrorist.
My answer has been and continues to be: once one is indoctrinated into Jihadism, the mutation into a terrorist is at the discretion of the militant.
We need to stop the terrorists at the indoctrination level.
In this case, Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad had been under investigation by the FBI after he traveled to Yemen and was arrested there for using a Somali passport.
How come he was under surveillance and yet he committed this attack? Even though he was on some list, so are many others.
