As a Muslim, Rovinski enjoyed playing the guitar, studying outdoor survival, and watching The Deen Show. Any idea how a devout young Muslim convert could ever conclude that his religion commands him to kill critics of Islam? (Hint: Muhammad ordered his followers to kill critics of Islam.)
To understand why Nicholas Rovinski decided to wage jihad, watch this:CNN—Authorities have arrested Nicholas Rovinski of Warwick, Rhode Island, in the Usaamah Rahim terror case, said Boston FBI spokeswoman Kristen Setera. He is the third suspect in the case, sources told have told CNN.
Muslim Convert Nicholas Rovinski
Nicholas Rovinski was arrested at 8:16 p.m. without incident. His home had been previously searched, and he had been questioned by authorities.
Rahim was shot dead by Boston police and FBI agents on Tuesday last week, in a confrontation over an alleged Islamist plot to attack police with knives.
Rovinski was a friend of Rahim and of David Wright, who has been arrested and charged with obstruction.
Law enforcement believed Rahim, who officials think was radicalized by ISIS and initially planned to behead a conservative blogger, was planning to launch his attack the day he died or the following day. He had switched targets to police officers, because they were more accessible, the FBI had said. . . .
In March, Rovinski had shared his Islamist extremist beliefs and motivation to act on them with CNN.
A producer exchanged messages with Rovinski, and during the conversation, the Rhode Island resident described exchanges with an alleged ISIS fighter who urged him to come to Iraq and Syria and join the terrorist group.
The communications were part of research into Americans identifying with jihadists online. Rovinski told CNN he considered following the fighter's call.
On his Twitter account, the Rhode Island resident spoke out against the United States: "Living amung (sic) the enemy."
"Who wishes to see flag of tawheed upon white house," he wrote on March 28. Tawheed, a fundamental principle and saying of Islam, is also a favorite inscription on jihadi flags -- namely ISIS and al Qaeda.
In an online conversation, he said, "I am not violent at heart but push the wrong button and its (sic) not pretty."
On his Twitter account were messages directed at people connected with ISIS, including Mujahid Miski, the online alias of Mohamed Abdullahi Hasan, a former Minnesotan believed to be fighting with Al Shabaab in Somalia.
Miski had also been in direct contact with Alan Simpson, one of the two shooters in the Texas attack on Geller's "Draw Your Own Mohammed" event in May.
Rovinski told CNN in the online exchanges that he would attend services at a mosque near his home but said he never shared his fundamentalist interpretation of Islam with his imam. Prior to his conversion to Islam, he said he was agnostic, but sought "truth and guidance" and found Islam. (Continue Reading.)

CNN got Simpson's first name wrong.
Alan Simpson = Simpson-Bowles guy
Elton Simpson = Garland attacker
I don't think Alan Simpson has been involved in any jihad activity :-).
just goes to prove a point:
Can a good Muslim be a good American?
That question was forwarded to a person that worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years.
The following is his forwarded reply:
Theologically - no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, the moon God of Arabia.
Religiously - no. Because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam (Quran, 2:256)
Scripturally - no. Because his allegiance is to the five pillars of Islam and the Quran (Koran).
Geographically - no. Because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day.
Socially - no. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews. (Quran 5:51)
Politically - no. Because he must submit to the mullah (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and Destruction of America, the great Satan.
Domestically - no. Because he is instructed to marry four women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Quran 4:34).
Intellectually - no. Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.
Philosophically - no. Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran do not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.
Spiritually - no. Because when we declare "one nation under God," the Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in The Quran's 99 excellent names.
Therefore after much study and deliberation....perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. They obviously cannot be both "good" Muslims and good Americans. Call it what you wish....it's still the truth.
You had better believe it.
You can tell instantly by the Arafat that they are extremists. I was in Egypt in about 2005 and went go-karting through the desert. They wrapped that smelly thing around my head so tight I had a headache for hours. Anyway, they told me it is called an Arafat because he wore that therefore the pro-palestinians / anti-Israel hate mob wear it too.
All I Have To Say About This Situation Is May The Almighty God Protect And Deliver Pamela Geller From Her Enemies That Rise Up Against Her! Psalm 59:1
No weapon that is formed against Pamela shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against her in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD. Isaiah 54:17
Islam should be made illegal the world over because of its murder -everyone -else evil ideologies.
Love what you do David Wood....love you.
Christians need to stand up together and have the koran and the hadeeths made "Hate Speech" againgst Christians and Jews.The feayh yo us padsahrs ate not abrogated and are clearly believed and followed today.
Uthman ibn Affan, the creator of the Quran, HAD to know Muhammad was a fraud.
1. Uthman was the half brother of Abdullah Ibn Sa'd Ibn Abi Sarh, the apostate scribe.
2. Abdullah Ibn Sa'd Ibn Abi Sarh went to Medina and Uthman hide him out from Muhammad.
3. While in Medina Abdullah Ibn Sa'd Ibn Abi Sarh told everyone, that would also mean Uthman, that Muhammad was a fraud.
4. Uthman would have to be believe Abdullah Ibn Sa'd Ibn Abi Sarh because Uthman begged Muhamamd not to kill him.
5. When Uthman became the Calipah he made Abdullah Ibn Sa'd Ibn Abi Sarh governor of Eygpt and was a trusted ally of Uthman.
I believe that Uthman KNEW Muhammad was a fraud and it was Abdullah Ibn Sa'd Ibn Abi Sarh who had told him about Muhammad. Because Uthman was powerful Muhammad didn't have Ibn Abi Sarh killed.
