Two Bosnian immigrants who have resided in Illinois are among six in the U.S. who have been charged with sending money, weapons and other supplies to terrorists oversees, including fighters with the Islamic State group and al-Qaida in Iraq, the U.S. attorney’s office announced Friday. The suspects are identified as Mediha Medy Salkicevic, 34, of Schiller Park, a Chicago suburb; and Jasminka Ramic, 42, of Rockford; Ramiz Zijad Hodzic, 40, his wife Sedina Unkic Hodzic, 35, and Armin Harcevic, 37, who live in St. Louis County, Missouri; and Nihad Rosic, 26, of Utica, New York.

The indictment alleges the conspiracy began no later than May 2013 and that the defendants used social media websites including Facebook to communicate in code. All six people who are charged are natives of Bosnia who were living in the U.S. legally. Three are naturalized citizens; the other three either had refugee or legal resident status, according to the U.S. attorney’s office. All face charges of conspiring to provide material support and resources to terrorists and with providing material support to terrorists. Rosic and Ramiz Hodzic are also charged with conspiring to kill and maim people in a foreign country......snip~

Good morning MMC:

Just more proof that Islam has more than a handful of folks on the fringe. Wonder if Hillary will carry on this charade during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Mornin WN. :2wave: Oh she will.....she has no problem carrying BO's dirty water. Like BO, Hillary expects to covered in Teflon. Except some have thrown some other ingredients in there so she can taste reality.

Also, I would expect the left to down play any supporters of ISIS being here in the US. At least until a few of them come up missing.

She will be walking a fine line on a few fronts. Hard for her to demean rich folks since she is worth in the 10s of million. In addition she and her husband spend their time with those wealthy contributors on both coasts.

She wont have the huge minority turnout that Obama did. Not sure women will look at her and her marriage and call her a warrior for women.

Well, she wont want to mention ISIS now showing up in Bosnia......wont want to talk about Libya or Syria to much.

This time around.....she will find out there are plenty of Right leaning women. Just waiting to take her and her followers to task.

Personally I would like to see Fiorina drop in unannounced at a Hillary 200k speech. Just to show how deluded Clinton really is. Hillary would panic and so to her handlers. As then she wont have any made up talking points for Fiorina.

What is it exactly that America stands for these days? Every federal blunder creates more cynicism about our government, not only here, but around the rest of the globe. We seem to have turned into Santa Claus with a gun, except where terrorists are concerned. Does anyone trust our meddling? The ME factions have been killing each other for 1300 years, all in the name of religion. Now some box has been opened, and it includes Western countries, too? What arrogance! Most of us are not interested, thank you! :2mad:

Also, they are charged for sending money to Turkiye and Saudi Arabia?

Well we know there are Chechens fighting for Al Nusra and ISIS.....and we now know a few American Bosnians supported ISIS and AQ, Right here in the US of A. Plotting from May of 2013.....until arrested. They must not have been to bright trying to use the US Postal Service, huh?

Mornin D. :2wave: Yep.....ever hear of a town called Gornja Maoca?



At the entrance to a mountain village in Bosnia, people are greeted by the Islamic State emblem. It is believed some 150 Bosnians have joined Islamic militants in Syria and Iraq.

In April, Bosnia introduced jail terms of up to 10 years for citizens who fight or recruit fighters for conflicts abroad.The move was aimed at discouraging young Bosnians, some of whom, particularly from rural areas, have in recent years adhered to the puritanical Wahhabi sect, from going to fight in Syria.

In September, Bosnian police detained 16 people on charges of financing terrorist activities, recruiting and fighting for radical groups in Syria and Iraq, authorities said.....snip~

Stupidity has no limitations - the Bosnians proved that the sky seems to be the limit! Don't they understand that everyone in American is apparently being spied on by our government - if they're here, they're not exempt! As far as the Chechen muslims are concerned, they have been a thorn in Russia's side for a long time, and periodically Russia eliminates a few when they get too obnoxious, just to let them know they are not forgotten. :lol: No comfy bed and breakfast in a cell need to be provided for idiots who are no longer breathing. You eliminate problem makers; the cost is minimal; and someone else gets to handle the burials - win-win. Living in Russia sure must be unusual, but I guess most have adapted! :shock:

Well.....Putin needs to wake up Lady P. They are now getting closer to him. He might as well join in on the hunt.

:agree: I think he may have already started, but he is politically savvy enough to do it covertly. He has plans for Russia to become a super-power again, and I don't think he's going to let anyone interfere with them - especially annoyances like the Chechens. He's making deals with the Chinese and other countries for oil, and he is part of an ever-growing group of large countries around the world to have the US dollar replaced as the primary global currency, which will be backed by gold. If they succeed, it will definitely affect our standard of living negatively. He's beefing up their military, while we are downsizing ours, and has overseen the making of a submarine that can "hide" from surveillance, which has our military concerned, according to their own statements.

Let's also remember that "May you live in interesting times" is a Chinese curse[/B, not a blessing! :shock:

I guess it has something to do with our participation in the Bosnian air war in the mid nineties.

Yeah, I thought you might come with that. So how does that look now under Clinton and General Wesley Clark.

Did you miss that bit on the Extreme Wahabbis? Like that wouldn't have anything to do with it all, huh?

What do you mean "come with that"??????? It reminds me of my 75 year old British friend that still hates the Germans, and refers to them as Gerry's exclusively. When I once asked him why he hated Germans so, he said "because they dropped a ****ing bomb on my house". (He was five at the time, and fortunately, he and his mother weren't at home!)

Well the article with the town in Bosnia did explain it out.....they are already into the extreme with Shariah and Islam.

I'm just saying that with a century or better of history of bombing the hell out of people, your going to have some enemies, and I don't think that's profound!

Well, maybe next time around people can talk to them while they are out massacring people. See how that works out.

So what?

They're not Islamic extremists

Why do you think I'm defending anything that the Bosnians were doing. I'm just pointing out that when we attempt to do something like we did there, your going to hurt innocent people in the process, and that usually makes you enemies. The difference in then and now, is that then had merit, whereas none of the ME policy in the past dozen years has any.

That is THE question of the decade...

I sure as hell don't know. Here, I am seen as an American, I think American civil rights, fought for them there and fought for them here. I loved America when I lived there, even with a Vietnam war raging...in part because the constitution allowed us that right to throw tear gas back at the National guard.

Then, I had issues about Vietnam, the leadership was not so evil as misguided..

Today I see a concentration camp on US soil and the excuse they aren't in the US so they are not protected by the constitution. I see a trampling of protest even verbal, where the war of words between Americans has stalled a nation into collapse.

I see a war launched 15 years ago to avenge the deaths of 3500 Americans that has no end in sight, a war that was spread to Iraq with the consent of both parties, one of whom denies that now.

I see a proud country with reason to be proud, now destroying itself from within with attacks on other Americans for the fact they are doing the job they were elected to do; I see invented issues to prolong and provoke more war as Obama waves red flags about :amnesty:" at his "enemies". I see a country more concerned with destroying political opponents than the Islamic Radicals who behead and burn to death their enemies...

I see a president waxing about definitions while one war has spread to seven with lost ground where he had warred before and an administration more concerned about the crusades, slavery and what to call the real enemy.

America used to stand for "right" as in they didn't torture, didn't suppress the constitution even when it meant a president was going down for being a crook. America used to mean that the easy way was not the right way, and things like the New York Times publishing the Pentagon papers was so constitutional now **** off!

Today I have no idea what she stands for, am at sea as to what to expect from a president who attacks "Canadian Oil" when the nation is dependent on it, and no idea what to expect when a cop shoots someone or there is evidence of corruption, only that it will NOT be an independent investigator.

America used to be Canada's best friend and the reverse, today I am not sure about that at all and have repeatedly advised my government to remain arms length in all dealings especially the war on terror.

I do know that that beautiful document, that legal work of art called the United States Constitution that I had drilled into me by grey haired, right wing teachers, has become meaningless.
 
Wow! That all sounds so anti-American!

The Constitution has not become meaningless! A few have tried to pretend it is, but it's still there as a guide on why and how this country was founded. It's comforting to me to know that Mitch McConnell, Majority Leader in the Senate now, has often let it be known that he believes that the Constitution is a living document, not a rough draft to be changed at someone's whim! :thumbs:

If he is successful then I would say it has been a "restoration" of that beautiful legal work of art. Under Obama and the socialists, it is meaningless; they know who you phone, email and can scoop you from home on a verbal report. The president can wage war without so much as mentioning it to congress and make thousands of illegal, with the stroke of his little phallic symbol.

Republicans elected to do their jobs have been silenced, governments shut down all for one man's glory......I never saw any of that in my teachings, even Nixon couldn't do that
