Two Now Charged With Plotting Mass-Shooting in LGBT Bars, and Guess What

Someone point this out to the "Queers for Palestine" crowd: In Dearborn, Michigan, two 20-year-old men are under arrest for allegedly plotting a mass-shooting attack on LGBTQ+ bars in the area; they had obtained weapons, practiced with those weapons, and scouted targets. It's a matter of luck and sharp police work that they were caught before committing an atrocity.

Two 20-year-old men who had acquired high-powered weapons and practiced at gun ranges were scouting LGBTQ+ bars in suburban Detroit in September for a possible Halloween attack, authorities said Monday in filing terrorism-related charges.

Here's the onion:

Mohmed Ali, Majed Mahmoud, and co-conspirators were inspired by the Islamic State group’s extremism, according to a 72-page criminal complaint unsealed in federal court. Investigators say a minor, identified only as Person 1, was deeply involved in the discussions.

“Our American heroes prevented a terror attack,” U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said on X.

The men, described as too young to drink alcohol, had looked at LGBTQ+ bars in Ferndale for a possible attack, according to the complaint.

Before making arrests Friday, FBI agents had surveilled them for weeks, even using a camera on a pole outside a Dearborn house, according to the court filing. Investigators also got access to encrypted chats and other conversations and scoured social media posts.

Uh-huh.

This serves as yet another illustration of the utter stupidity of the "Queers for Palestine" people. Were any of these QFP members to actually go to, say, Gaza, they wouldn't exactly get a warm welcome; they would be more likely to find themselves on a rooftop with immediate prospects of a short, sharp trip back down to the street, without use of the stairs. That's what happens to LGBTQ+ people in the Islamic world, and it's part of the same pattern of behavior that we see here, in this Michigan case.

Regardless of what one may think of the LGBTQ+ community, the one thing we have in common as civilized people is that we don't want to see them massacred. And that seems to be what Mohmed Ali and Majed Mahmoud were planning.

Ali and Mahmoud were charged with receiving and transferring guns and ammunition for terrorism. They made brief appearances in federal court Monday and will remain in custody at least until a Nov. 10 detention hearing.

Defense attorneys William Swor and Amir Makled declined to comment. Makled over the weekend seemed to wave off the allegations, saying they were the result of “hysteria” and “fear-mongering.”

Oh, give me a flippin' break. "Hysteria and fear-mongering," my foot.

Mahmoud had recently bought more than 1,600 rounds of ammunition that could be used for AR-15-style rifles, and both practiced at gun ranges, the government alleged.

The FBI said the men repeatedly referred to “pumpkins” in their conversations, a reference to a Halloween attack. The court filing says Person 1, the minor, regularly consulted the father of a “local Islamic extremist ideologue” about when to commit a “good deed.”

It's not one world. And we're importing an awful lot of some of the less desirable elements from those other worlds, as this case so clearly illustrates. 

Now, full disclaimer: Ali and Mahmoud will receive full due process, and are entitled to the presumption of innocence, as is anyone in a criminal case. We do this because we are civilized people. For the same reason, we abhor the massacre of innocents, even if we don't understand or condone their lifestyle. But, again, it's not one world, and cases like this should start us thinking about just how smart it is to keep importing people from places where they do things like toss gay people off rooftops.
