The two faces of Jihad in New Jersey

If I had a daughter I would prohibit her from dating either of these two. 
After each "terrorist" trial I marvel that, as the defendant pleads guilty to jihad, no one asks the important question: why Islam, and what within Islam caused the action.  Without that dissection, these two, and others to come will continually baffle experts and pundits alike by saying what motivated them, at which time the response will be one of denial and dismissal.  Self-created confusion which grows each time a practitioner of the "religion of peace" praises Allah while the body parts fly.

al-Shabab, or "The Youth" are the ones running most of Somalia right now.

The 21-year-old Alessa, of North Bergen, was born in the United States and is the son of Palestinian immigrants. Almonte, 24, of Elmwood Park, is a naturalized citizen who was born in the Dominican Republic. Both are Muslim.

The charges could carry up to life in prison, but they may face 15 to 30 years at their June sentencing under the terms of the plea agreement.

"Through covert recordings and their admissions today, Alessa's and Almonte's own words confirm they took steps down a deadly path..."
