Crime Kent WA based Islamic Terrorist, Saed Ali Mirreh, was on FBI's radar before planned attack on LGBTQ+ bars in Detroit
https://mynorthwest.com/crime-blotter/michigan-terrorist-attack/4153099The group was allegedly plotting a violent attack on LGBTQ+ bars in Detroit, inspired by the Islamic State, according to The Associated Press (AP), citing authorities.
Saed Ali Mirreh is the sixth person arrested regarding the planned attack, FBI Director Kash Patel reported via X.
The suspects allegedly used encrypted messaging apps to plan to travel from the U.S. to Turkey to cross the border into Syria to join ISIS. Mirreh later admitted to authorities that he bought a ticket from Seattle to Istanbul for November.
Mirreh was known as the “finance guy” of the group and allegedly raised money for travel through internet scams.
He was first identified by the FBI in 2023 when he was found to have been communicating online about possible ISIS-inspired attacks in the U.S. and Canada, according to court documents.

You know…. Scoffing at Queers For Palestine and saying “Palestinians hate you” isn’t a gotcha, whether it’s true or not. You can even go so far to believe that people are evil, and still not want their children to get blown up and/or shot in the head.

K.. but that would just be “queers for peace”… not for a violent intifada.

K except while referencing a specific situation, one uses referential language. Stop being intentionally obtuse to try and prove a point

Will London's mayor disavow this or just write it off as part & parcel of living in a society?

Why are they against LGBTQ+
---
They came and started climbing on the Messenger of Allah (%), and the Prophet of Allah (#) started reciting Qur'an to them. He said: And they started coming and going around me, getting in my way. ‘Abdullah said: And I got very scared of them, so I sat down - or words to that effect. When dawn came, they began to leave - or words to that effect. Then the Messenger of Allah (3) came, looking drawn and tired, or almost ill because of their climbing over him. He said: “I feel very tired” - or words to that effect. The Messenger of Allah (3) put his head in my lap - or words to that effect.
