2 Suspected suburban jihadis fueled by social media, assimilation lapses in homegrown terror plot, expert warns

3 Key bits from Skidmark’s link:

Three of the suspects are from Dearborn, Michigan, a Detroit suburb near where the alleged plotters are accused of planning to attack gay bars on Halloween. Another comes from Kent, Washington, where a judge said he had "strong family ties [and] stable housing." At least one is a New Jersey college student whose mom works for the United Nations. Another, who lived in the same upscale Montclair community, is the son of an English professor.

While authorities have not said any of the suspects are immigrants or naturalized citizens, at least two have familial ties overseas, and the alleged plot included contacts in the United Kingdom, Sweden and Nigeria.

"For decades, we've seen a problem of immigrants or first-generation [citizens] not assimilating into Americans," Ries told Fox News Digital. "This is partly on the government, civic organizations, etc. — but also social media is aggravating all of these."

In a series of encrypted chats and voice calls intercepted by the FBI, members of the group allegedly used code words, including "vacation" to mean jihad, "pumpkin" as a reference to a mass shooting on Halloween, "unalive" instead of kill, "pew" as a reference to guns and "Thanksgiving land" to mean Turkey, where some of them are accused of planning to fly to before moving on to Syria.

At least two of the suspects had been previously interviewed by the FBI. One, living in Washington state, had alleged ties to a juvenile terror suspect in Canada. The other lives in New Jersey and is accused of talking about a potential terror attack in Boston during a livestream. A third allegedly looked up bodycam and GoPro-style videos of multiple mass shootings.

Also named: Ayob Nasser, the fifth man to be charged, is the younger brother of Mohmed Ali, and Saed Mirreh.

4 For decades the West has politically rewarded attacks, including massive attacks like 9/11 and 10/7.

This is the logical consequence of that strategy of appeasement, bribes and concessions.

5 The problem with the arrests is that they don't close down and deport any mosque these wanters of 72 piglets have attended.
