‘ISIS using Baltimore to recruit dissatisfied blacks,’ warns conservative media report

An alleged jihadist with the curious habit of speaking primarily to an American right-wing writer claims Islamic State extremists are trying to recruit “dissatisfied” blacks during the Baltimore riots.

“ISIS is taking advantage of racial tensions in the U.S. by attempting to recruit dissatisfied Muslims among the American black population,” reported World Net Daily.

The report Wednesday by WND staffer and talk radio host Aaron Klein is sourced to Abu Saqer, who is identified as the leader of the Gaza-based Islamist militant group Jihadiya Salafiya. The claim has been picked up by other media outlets and promoted on conservative social media.

Saqer said he and other Islamists were encouraged by pro-ISIS T-shirts worn by protesters in Ferguson, Missouri – although Klein’s report makes clear the shirt was an ironic commentary on police brutality: “I rather get stopped by ISIS terrorist than Ferguson PD.”

Klein drew a link between those comments to the violent protests over the death of Freddie Gray, whose spine was severed while he was in police custody.

Pro-ISIS thirst in Ferguson?

A kid in Baltimore probably raised in a family where at least the grandparents are devoutly Christian (the parents probably are too but older folks tend to still be the church going crowd) is just suddenly going to become a Muslim?

Nice job with the free advertising for ISIS there WND.

Most of us are Christian and the Nation of Islam can't even change that. Why would any of us want to go murder for ISIS? We trying to have nice things here, where it's slightly safer.

this whole thing is fucking laughable. You try to walking up to these people in Baltimore and see how far that gets them?

There are three cities in America you don't fuck with, Baltimore, Chicago and New Orleans in that order. The blacks from those
places are the most sophisticated in the whole country.

Won't be surprise if they pick up their corpse for even attempting shit like that.
