Mufid A. Elfgeeh, a 30-year-old man who owns a food store in upstate New York, has been arrested and charged with funding Islamic terrorist group ISIS, attempting to send jihadists to fight with them in Syria and even plotted to gun down U.S. troops, according to Federal authorities.

The Democrat & Chronicle reports that Elfgeeh is the nephew of Abad Elfgeeh, an ice-cream shop owner who was arrested in Brooklyn in 2003, after being accused of being deeply involved in a terrorism network.

Authorities alleged that Abad Elfgeeh funneled millions of dollars to his homeland of Yemen and had links to Osama Bin Laden. In the end, however, he was only convicted of illegally funneling more than $22 million overseas. He is now locked up at the federal prison in Loretto, Pennsylvania, where he is serving a 15-year sentence.

A CNN report said Mufid Elfgeeh was arrested on May 31 but the case against him wasn't made clear until Tuesday. Citing an indictment, CNN noted that Elfgeeh is facing three counts of trying "to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization (namely, ISIS)". He is also charged with one count of attempting to kill officers and employees of the United States, two counts of having an unregistered firearm silencer and one count of possessing guns or silencers "in furtherance of a crime of violence."

Mark Hosken, the public defender representing Elfgeeh said his client will plead not guilty when he appears in court on Thursday morning.

"... It's like (Americans) go to Afghanistan killing everybody," Mufid Elfgeeh allegedly told an FBI informant in a conversation secretly recorded in December according to the Democrat & Chronicle. "It's like they went to Yemen now killing everybody. Doesn't make no difference."

Mufid Elfgeeh, 30, of Rochester, is seen in an undated handout picture released by the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, in Rochester, New York, June 2, 2014. Elfgeeh, the owner of a western New York food market, faced accusations in court on Monday that he illegally bought guns to shoot and kill members of the U.S. military returning from Iraq, according to official documents.

I think you should be careful who you hire and don’t piss them off ... especially if you’re a relatively new-comer from the middle east.

In the case of this man, he OWNS his own business.

[I want the USA back]

I don’t shop at stores owned by members of the ROP. That way I know that none of my money goes to fund terror.

These people need to be tried, found guilty, hung, and have their sorry corpses dropped back into the hell-hole countries from once they came.

Precisely how does an ice cream shop owner come up with $22 million to funnel overseas for wickedly nefarious reasons, anyway?

[Red Badger]

Religion of peace my a$$!....................

[Red Badger]

Is there a law like the one they use against drug dealers that the government can confiscate ALL property of the offender used for the crime or accumulated because of the crimes? That would stop a lot of this so called ‘home grown’ terrorism crap. Take their money, businesses, homes and freedom...............

[Red Badger]

A network funneled through contacts at the mosques and funded by wealthy muslimes......

Mufid A. Elfgeeh,
Ok I give it’s not Irish what is it?.

[knarf]

That was my point ... someone turned this guy in ... or at least helped manifest the arrest.

Mr. Elfgeeh isn’t Amish?

[goldstategop]

I’m not surprised.

A Muslim’s first loyalty is ALWAYS to Dar Islam. National flags, citizenship and borders mean nothing to them.

This guy wanted to blow up Americans as well to recruit Islamic terrorists. They’re as extreme here as they are in Europe and Syria.

This IS Islam. Every time.

[353FMG]

Waterboard him and find others ISIS recruiters in the US or ask him respectfully.

Just about all those Muzzie convenience store are cheating on taxes with their cash business...also food stamp fraud.
Paying taxes if for suckers...meaning Americans
Immigrant owned cash business just about always are fiddling with their taxes. They can always scoot back home to Pakistan, Lebanon, Yemen etc if they are caught and prosecuted
Americans have no where to flee to if caught so have an incentive to be honest on taxes

[Old Yeller]

Take their money, businesses, homes and freedom...............

Sounds like the IRS.

Anyone familiar with Manhattan knows that in certain areas of the island,at least,those "halal" food carts are everywhere.I pass by them frequently and,regardless of how hungry I am or how good the food smells,I walk right past...fighting the temptation to spit right on the food.

"That was my point ... someone turned this guy in ... or at least helped manifest the arrest."

Three people in total were arrested for (trying to ) help facilitate travel to Syria so as to join ISIS.

Two of them were undercover FBI agents, LOL!
