Florida Man Converts to Islam, Starts Making ISIS Videos
[PJMedia] I am not the renowned chronicler of all things Florida Man, Stephen Green, but it does seem as if Jonathan Guerra Blanco nevertheless deserves a place among the Florida Men, as he is among the first-ever jihad gunnies to join the hallowed ranks. (Omar Mateen
... the Afghan-"American" who decided he was a soldier of the Caliphate and shot fifty unarmed people to death in a Florida gay bar he used to frequent...
, who murdered 49 people in the Pulse Nightclub in Orlando on behalf of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
in 2016, was the first, or at very least the most horrifically effective.)

The Miami Herald reported Tuesday that Guerra, who was born in Cuba and now lives near Fort Myers, is currently incarcerated in Miami and has been charged with providing material support to the Islamic State (ISIS). He was denied bail and is looking at twenty years in prison, although his lawyer, Ana Davide, said that he intends to cop a plea.

Guerra, according to the Herald, "was swept up in an FBI undercover operation that targeted an ISIS suspect known as ’Confederate A’ who allegedly collaborated with him in producing promotional and recruitment videos that were distributed on the Islamist terrorist organization’s encrypted social platforms and networks, including ’IMN1’ and ’IMN2,’ a criminal affidavit says. Guerra’s alias was ’Abu Zahra al-Andalusi.’"

The FBI stated that Guerra intended the videos to "incite and equip primarily Spanish-speaking followers to conduct operational attacks in support of ISIS." He also worked on producing translations of the ISIS propaganda material into English, Dutch, French, German and Indonesian." One of his videos threatened jihad massacres on subways in Spain, as well as attacks on the Spanish National Police. He was also responsible for the notorious article entitled, "Elabora una bomba en la cocina de tu Mama," "How to make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom," which al-Qaeda published a few years ago and the Boston Marathon jihad bombers followed when assembling their pressure-cooker bombs.

Guerra, a naturalized U.S. citizen, produced another video that threatened jihad attacks in the U.S. itself, featuring video footage of Las Vegas and the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Florida. When one of his comrades got arrested in Spain, Guerra taunted the FBI, sending them a link to a graphic entitled Jamas Nos Capturaras, that is, You Will Never Capture Us.

Guerra told the same FBI operatives that all he was trying to do was "make the word of Allah...the highest," and explained: "I always strive to please Allah. I don’t want to brag, but I dedicate my life to [jihad]."

All this raises numerous important issues. The main one is the question of how it is that yet another convert to Islam somehow got the crazy idea that his new, peaceful religion encourages violence against unbelievers. Pope Francis
...Argentine liberation theologist, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio. He was elected pope in 2013. Rather than setting up shop in Avignon, where he belongs, the first Jesuit Pope chose to reside in the Domus Sanctae Marthae guesthouse instead of the papal apartments. He is big on climate change, against consumerism, and in favor of throwing a blanket over homosexual activity within the clergy. He's not real sure about the Resurrection, about Christ's divinity, and a few other things that would have gotten him burned at the stake a few hundred years ago, but he's hot for a certain South American Earth Mother Goddess...
tells us that "authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence." Crooked Hillary Clinton
...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do...
famously said: "Moslems are peaceful and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism," which is certainly true of a great number of Moslems. French President Emmanuel Macron recently declared, "La Belle France has no problem with Islam."

Florida Man Arrested for Creating, Spreading ISIS Propaganda: FBI

[NBCMiami] Jonathan Guerra - who went by the name Abu Zahr al-Andalusi - accused of trying to help ISIS.

Federal prosecutors say, since the FBI's investigation into Guerra began in October 2019, he had communicated with three different online covert employees, and pursued two of them romantically. During their communication, Guerra revealed his true identity, which included images of himself, and his role in spreading propaganda for the terrorist organization.
