@FBIDirectorKash
NEW from your FBI: I can now confirm reports that our FBI teams and partners foiled an attempted ISIS attack on one of our U.S. military bases in Warren, Michigan.

The individual, Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said, plotted a mass shooting at the U.S. Army’s Tank-Automotive & Armaments Command (TACOM) facility before multiple undercover law enforcement officers obtained information of his plans.

Said was arrested this week and will now face charges of supporting a foreign terrorist organization, among others.

Our agents, intelligence teams, and partners acted quickly — and they saved lives. Well done to all on executing the mission.Former National Guardsman allegedly plotted ISIS-inspired attack on Michigan military facility

A former member of Michigan's Army National Guard was arrested for allegedly plotting to carry out an ISIS-inspired mass attack on a military facility near Detroit, according to newly unsealed court records.

Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said, 19, allegedly engaged in detailed attack planning to carry out a mass shooting at the U.S. Army's Tank-Automotive & Armaments Command, or TACOM, facility in Warren, including communicating with two individuals "purporting to be fellow ISIS supporters" he was unaware were actually undercover law enforcement officers, according to a federal criminal complaint.

The alleged attack was scheduled to occur Tuesday morning, but law enforcement took Said into custody after he and one of the agents arrived at a location near the TACOM facility and launched his drone into the air "in support of the attack plan," the Department of Justice said. ...

Former Michigan National Guard member accused of planning mass shooting at Warren military base
Man allegedly told undercover FBI agents of plans to attack base on behalf of ISIS
 
 
WARREN, Mich. – A Wayne County man was arrested and is facing federal charges for his alleged plot to conduct a mass shooting at a military base in Metro Detroit.

Ammar Abdulmajid-Mohamed Said, 19, served in the Michigan Army National Guard in September 2022 and was discharged in December 2024.

According to court documents, Said told two undercover FBI agents about his plan to conduct a mass shooting at the U.S. Army’s Tank Automotive & Armaments Command (TACOM) at the Detroit Arsenal in Warren on behalf of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS).

The two undercover agents indicated to Said that they intended to carry out his plan at the direction of ISIS. Said then allegedly provided materials to help with the attack, including armor-piercing ammunition and magazines. He also allegedly flew his drone over TACOM to map out the attack and trained the undercover agents on firearms and the construction of Molotov cocktails.


Said was arrested on the day of the scheduled attack, which was set for May 13, 2025, after he traveled near TACOM and launched his drone in support of the alleged attack plan.

I hope they had an arrest warrant before shamelessly setting up this poor guy.  I'm sure some federal judge, like in Alaska, will order him released immediately. *****rollingeyes*****

My admission to armed services would be very limited compared to what gets admitted now days... but it would return the services into something honorable to serve in. No disrespect to those that served before, but what is allowed now days spits on their accomplishments.

muslims should not be permitted to serve in the armed forces in ANY capacity.
NONE of them... not one.

Could this be considered "a religious test"?
Yes, absolutely.
And absolutely necessary.

... According to the complaint, Said informed two undercover law enforcement officers of a plan he had devised and formulated to conduct a mass-shooting at the U.S. Army’s Tank-Automotive & Armaments Command (TACOM) facility at the Detroit Arsenal in Warren, Michigan. In April 2025, the two undercover officers indicated they intended to carry out Said’s plan at the direction of ISIS. In response, Said provided material assistance to the attack plan, including providing armor-piercing ammunition and magazines for the attack, flying his drone over TACOM to conduct operational reconnaissance, training the undercover employees on firearms and the construction of Molotov cocktails for use during the attack, and planning numerous details of the attack including how to enter TACOM and which building to target.

On May 13 – the scheduled day of the attack – Said was arrested after he traveled to an area near TACOM and launched his drone in support of the attack plan. He will make his initial court appearance today in the Eastern District of Michigan. The U.S. Attorney’s Office will be asking the court to hold Said in pretrial detention because of his danger to the community and the risk that he will flee.         

Based on the charges in the complaint, Said faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison for each count if convicted. ...

verga states:
"DO NOT SHOOT THE MESSENGER! We still have the whole 1st Amendment thing...

Once again, this situation illustrates why this:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Should be changed to this:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. The followers of muhammed and the followers of marx are specifically excluded and denied the protections of this amendment along with any and all other Constitutional protections. Neither the United States nor the Several States will offer such protections or liberties to the followers of muhammed or to the followers of marx."

I think the problem comes from calling Islam a "religion".

I reckon there is that aspect of it, but it just does not stop with worship. It comes with an entire lifestyle, a culture, that will impose itself through lies, deceit, and murderous force if gentle persuasion fails.
While those who see Islam as a religion believe it should be covered under the First Amendment, they ignore the fact that Islam does not regard the First Amendment as being valid for anyone who is not practicing their own form of Islam, and even then it is severely limited.

It is a package, a totalitarian theocracy, not 'just a religion', and ultimately, definitely not a 'religion of peace'. Conquest, by infiltration, displacement, replacement, or the sword is mandated; the jihad is never-ending until the Dar al Islam, when all 'nonbelievers' have been converted or eliminated.

There is no 'tolerance' for other types of thought. There is no compatibility with our Constitutional Republic, rather, a mandate to overthrow it.

While we may tolerate their belief, the reverse is only true insofar as to allow their forces to build to the point where they take over. Then harsh punishment awaits the infidel hordes (that's US, folks) who ignore this reality and become subjugated under Islamic rule.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I'm not @Fishrrman @verga but I'll give it a shot.

We stop when we have dealt with political movements cloaked as religion. One (Islam) on this earth presently as far as I'm aware.

The line is drawn with known and implacable enemies to our way of life.

islam is certainly one.
communism is another.

I have no problems with (as I posted above) denying the follwers of muhammed and the followers of marx the protections and freedoms of the U.S. Constitution.

If given such protections, they will use them to accumulate power in the same manner that islam uses the hudna to build strength by which to attack again. They will eventually use the leverage of such protections to turn our own government against us.

@Bigun You and @fisherman are both sounding very liberal here. We do not outlaw religions or political movements because we disagree with them or because they offend us.we defeat them in the arena of ideas.

Just like we are now. we don't give in to fear. We take precautions and stay vigilant, but we don't sink to there level. Do you honestly believe that outlawing them, or banning them from public office will make them love us. The exact opposite will occur. They will go "underground" and be sneakier.
To beat them we need to shine the light of truth on them, expose their ignorance and false teachings.
