“In all honesty the best way to bet them is to break their will.

Edmonds,” U.S. District Court Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, March 25, 2015, http://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/opa/press-releases/attachments/2015/03/26/edmonds_complaint_0.pdf.

Edmonds,” U.S. District Court Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, March 25, 2015, http://www.justice.gov/sites/default/files/opa/press-releases/attachments/2015/03/26/edmonds_complaint_0.pdf.

“It would be hard to pull off a lager scale attack on the government but police stations and courts are pretty easy and its been done before by kufar sometimes just one person.

“If this happens the way we want insha Allah we'll all be there if not though my sahaba [“companion”] will put the fear of Allah in their hearts and minds right here in the homeland.”“United States of America v.

Conversation with undercover FBI agent:

“Not be easy but i'd rather struggle and strive hard in the cause of Allah rather than sit back and live a 'comfortable' life. And what you say is true brother but the banners are up. The State has been established and it is our duty to heed the call. InshaAllah we will complete our task or be granted shahada1 1 trying. And yes I look forward to the training. I am already in the american kafir 1 2 army (back when I was still in this dunyah1 3 and not muslim) and now I wish only to serve in the army of Allah alongside my true brothers.”“United States of America v.
