The suspect in the deadly shooting at a military recruiting center in Arkansas is the latest in a series of Muslim converts accused of planning or launching violent attacks in the U.S., part of what security experts call an alarming domestic trend.
The attack came less than two weeks after a foiled bomb plot on two synagogues in Riverdale, N.Y., allegedly led by four men who converted to Islam in prison or shortly after their incarceration.
Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, the 23-year-old accused of killing a U.S. soldier and injuring another in the attack Monday in Little Rock, was born in Tennessee as Carlos Leon Bledsoe. He reportedly converted to Islam as a teenager, and court records show he changed his name in March 2006.
Little Rock police said there was no indication Muhammad was part of a wider plot to attack the military, but terrorism experts say there are important connections between his and other homegrown terror plots in recent years, including their targets, motives and inspiration.
"The real common denominator is the ideological commitment (present) in every single case I've seen over the past few months and over the past few years," said Walid Phares, director of the Future of Terrorism Project at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
Phares said the vast majority of converts are nonviolent, but a few embrace the teachings of extremist religious mentors.
"In the lives of these diverse people there's always one moment where there's a click," he said — in which the budding convert is turned by a radical cleric or ideologue, or swayed by indoctrinating material they find online.
Prosecutors say Muhammad was targeting U.S. soldiers "because of what they had done to Muslims in the past" and was angry about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Also from the article:
“I think there are a lot of personal reasons these people do this — as opposed to the ideological reasons or religious reasons that become the excuse,” said Neil Livingstone, a national security and terrorism consultant.
Livingstone said some people on the margins of society are “easy marks” for radicals who energize them with twisted teachings about Islam.
“Most of these guys — I think what it comes down to — they’re misfits, they believe they’ve suffered injustice. ... They basically are striking back at society,” he told FOXNews.com.
That is especially the case in prisons, where many black inmates convert to Islam and which have been identified as a “radicalizing cauldron” by law enforcement officials.

We deserve an answer as to why he was in Yemen on a Somali passport if this is even true. Perhaps the press can look into this once they decide whether Susan Boyle has a future in show biz, poor dear.
This is the very reason most of us have opposed moving the GITMO prisoners to any prison within the US.
Between their proselytizing and potential to be released by a radical judge, they are too dangerous to be allowed on US soil.
Islam is not a religion but a violent political ideology of which religion is one component used to impose Sharia law on non Muslim societies.
If the left thinks it is okay to go after Bill O'Reilly for inciting the murder of Dr. Tiller, why can't we go after the so Religious fanatics that are teaching their trade in our prisons under the guise of Islam Religion.

butt, no reason to tell the public, right?
Yet the U.S. Marshals are sent to abortion clinics to protect the murders dens and the people who believe in our right to bear arms, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are profiled as threats to our company. We are so screwed right now.
A few thousand (here in America), that is. And worldwide, a few million.
I see a double standard at work here. While the AG orders federal marshals to guard abortion clinics, but does nothing to protect military recruit centers.
oops company=country. LOL. Was that Freudian?—now that our federal government is pretty much communist/fascist. What used to be company is government and what used to be government is country. Someone wake me up—everything is turned on its head.
This should be a message against closing Gitmo.
Exactly
okay. I should just quit posting today. Brain not working as seamlessly as usual. LOL.
It shouldn’t be too hard to figure out who converted this guy or other violent terrorists who were converted in prison. There should be records, easily accessible, as to who was the Muslim “chaplain” in his prison, or who were his fellow prisoners at that time.
Islam...bringing you the best of the Seventh Century for over 1400 years.
Islam is a cancer on humanity.
