Las Vegas Teen Converts to Islam,
and Guess What He Did Next
New in PJ Media:
What’s the deal with converts to Islam?
Is the question, why do so many converts to Islam immediately plot a terrorist event?
It could be that they simply want to kill people and destroy things, and becoming a Muslim radical gives them an excuse to maim and murder.
Last April, a teenager in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, named Alexander Scott Mercurio was caught plotting jihad massacres in local churches, “using weapons, including knives, firearms, and fire.” On New Year’s Eve in 2022, a 19-year-old named Trevor Bickford traveled from his home in Wells, Maine, to Times Square, where he attacked three NYPD officers with a machete. In April 2021, a Zion, Illinois, man named Edward Schimenti got thirteen and a half years in prison for aiding the Islamic State (ISIS).
These are just three men who are on a long and ever-lengthening list of converts to Islam who turn to terrorism, even in the United States, and are largely ignored by the establishment media. As everyone knows or should know by now, the media is interested only in shoring up its narrative, not in reporting actual facts. Now another young man has joined their ranks.
Las Vegas’ KLAS reported Thursday that Joshua Robles, 16, has been “accused of plotting an ISIS-inspired terror attack.” After Robles was arrested last November, prosecutors considered him to be so dangerous that they asked that his bail be set at a million dollars; Las Vegas Justice Court Pro Temp Judge Lauren Diefenbach, however, instead decided to set it at $10,000, “adding should Robles post bail, he would be placed on house arrest with electronic monitoring.” Oh. That’ll fix everything.
Ultimately, Robles was deemed to be so dangerous that bail was set at $1 million after all. That’s good, as he doesn’t appear to be a choirboy: “On Aug. 23, staff at the Clark County Detention Center found a handwritten note in Robles’ cell, which included an ISIS flag and phrases such as, ‘Welcome with death.’”
This was after a sheet of notebook paper was found in his bedroom at the time of his arrest; Robles had completed a faithful recreation of the Islamic State (ISIS) flag, which features in Arabic the Islamic profession of faith: “There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet.” Underneath that, the earnest young convert wrote in all caps: “DEATH TO JEWS.”
Around that time, Robles was proudly posting online about his enthusiasm for his newfound faith: “Peace by [sic] upon all brothers who see this,” he wrote. “I am here to announce that I will be starting lone wolf operations in Las Vegas against the enemies of Allah.” When police raided his home, they found “components they said could be used to make an explosive device.”
Authorities think that Robles was “building explosive devices similar to the ones that killed three and injured hundreds in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.” There is some indication that he planned to carry out an arson jihad attack on New Year’s Day 2024. He was also doing online searches for “information and floorplans for Chaparral High School in the east valley.” If he had managed to carry out a jihad attack there, police would still be saying that they didn’t know his motives.
Doesn't this sound delightful? Another 10 years and America will be under Sharia and all our girls will become invisible and silent. Hmmmm....
Hamas-linked CAIR top dog:
‘We can have in ten years, at least
40-50 members of the U.S. Congress’
Awad chides his audience, complaining that “the Muslim community today is not scientific in designing its future.”
In reality, however, the Muslim community has been more “scientific” about “designing its future” than virtually every other community. It has systematically worked to gain political power and influence, in just the same way Awad is recommending that it do here. This is because of the inherent political and supremacist character of Islam. One must have the power to establish dominance and maintain that dominance.
CAIR Executive-Director Nihad Awad: We Have Been Working To Eliminate And Change Public School Textbooks That Defame Islam And Our Prophet; Our Community Should Produce An Army Of Activists Who Will Design Our Image, Protect The Truth, Run For Public Office
MEMRI, August 30, 2024:
Executive director of CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Nihad Awad introduced in his August 30, 2024 Friday sermon at the East Plano Islamic Center in Texas a plan to create scholarship for Muslims in the fields of journalism, law, political science, and history. He said that the uncommitted movement was not enough to change the policies of Vice President Kamala Harris, but creating an “army” of 50,000 journalists, lawyers, and members of the academia, who will potentially run for public office, can create 40-50 Muslim members of the U.S. Congress in ten years. Awad claimed that Islamophobia is deep-rooted in American culture, in Hollywood, and literature and that this influences public policies. He shared that CAIR has been working to eliminate and change textbooks in public schools that portray Islam and the Prophet Muhammad negatively. Awad said that the Muslim community “is ready to move to the next phase.” The sermon was streamed live on EPIC Masjid on YouTube.
Nihad Awad: “The uncommitted movement sent a powerful message, (so much so) that even the tone of the vice president has changed, but did it change enough? It did not. Did it change the policies? It did not.
[…]
“There is Islamophobia (in the U.S.) that is so deeply-rooted in the culture, in academia, in Hollywood, in the portrayal of Islam. For hundreds of years, Islam has been denigrated, the Prophet has been smeared and defamed in books and textbooks that were taught in public schools, that Allah be praised, we have been working to eliminate and change.
[…]
“The Muslim community – Allah has blessed us, including you – we are affluent, we are vibrant, we are educated, we are well-to-do, and we are ready to move to the next phase.
[…]
“We have to dedicate professional resources to inform the public systematically about this faith. Imagine if you are a CEO of a company, you will have a budget for marketing.
[…]
“Brothers and sisters, Islam deserves more from us. Islam deserves a scientific approach to inform the public about Islam.
[…]
“Hollywood has produced over 1000 movies scientifically designed to portray you as the villain, and it impacted the attitudes of many people in our society. Look at the books, look at literature. We have a mountain of things that we need to confront.
[…]
“I call upon our Muslim community to be as scientific. The Muslim community today is not scientific in designing it [sic] future.
[…]
“If we commit to do this, four years from now, the Muslim community will have 4,000 new journalists, we will have 4,000 filmmakers, 4,000 lawyers, 4,000 students of political science, 4,000 students of history. The next year we will have another 4,000.
“15 years from now, the Muslim community will have 50,000 an army of these people. They will design our image, they will protect the truth and the news, most likely many of these people will run for public office and they will become lawmakers.”
“We can have in ten years, at least 40-50 members of Congress, in the U.S. Congress.”

Terror suspect arrested in Quebec was plotting
to attack Jews in New York
A Pakistani citizen has been arrested in Quebec as he was allegedly about to cross the border to carry out an ISIS terrorist attack targeting Jews in New York City.
Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, 20, was arrested in Ormstown, Que. on Wednesday afternoon after driving from Toronto. He also goes by the name Shahzeb Jadoon.
U.S. authorities said Friday he was plotting a mass shooting at a Jewish centre in Brooklyn, N.Y. on Oct. 7, the anniversary of the Hamas attack that killed 1,200 in Israel.
“Khan was allegedly in the process of planning a deadly attack targeting Jewish citizens in the United States,” the RCMP said in a statement.
Although he was initially arrested on three terrorism charges, he was then re-arrested on a U.S. extradition warrant and is scheduled to appear in court in Montreal on Sept. 13.
U.S. officials identified Khan as a Pakistani citizen residing in Canada. The RCMP referred questions about his immigration status to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
IRCC, which is already investigating how security screening failed to flag a father and son from Egypt charged in July with plotting an ISIS attack in Toronto, has not yet responded.
The case comes amid both a spike in antisemitism and a resurgence of ISIS.
“The news of threats to the Jewish community is alarming,” the RCMP said. “We will not tolerate any form of threats, harassment or violence targeting Jewish communities.”
According to an unsealed U.S. criminal complaint, Khan began expressing his support for ISIS on social media and messaging applications last November.
In exchanges with two undercover officers and an FBI informant, he allegedly said he wanted to join the ISIS branch in West Africa and send money to ISIS-K in South Asia.
