What foreign country did Timothy McVeigh pledge allegiance to? Or the Unabomber?
A flag representing the Islamic State group was found on the vehicle's trailer hitch, the FBI said. The bureau is trying to determine if Jabbar was associated with any terrorist organizations.
Even if Jabbar had zero contact with ISIS, or any other Islamist organization, he is likely an Islamist himself. And that's the problem. Islamism is not a homegrown ideology.
Anyone that participates in domestic terrorism, attacks their own country.
Whether they pledge allegiance to a foreign state or entity, or act on their own political beliefs, their acts are treasonous.
Their ideologies be it foreign, homegrown, or invented in their bedroom, does not mater.
In this case the guy was an American citizen who for whatever reason, committed treason against his own country. He was also an ex-army guy.
He is a domestic terrorist and is exactly the same as Timothy McVeigh, The Unabomber, Dylann Roof or any other extremist of any kind.
