Illinois Teen Arrested For Attempting To Join ISIS

Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).

A teenager is under arrest in Illinois after he attempted to join the Islamic terrorist group ISIS.

Mohammed Hamzah Khan, 19, was arrested Saturday at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago as he waited to board a flight to Vienna, Austria.  The teen’s travel plans were to carry him to Turkey where he would cross the border into Syria and join ISIS.

The FBI’s Join Terrorism Task Force said they searched Khan’s home and found handwritten notes of support for ISIS and jihad.  There was a letter he had written to his parents that they were supposed to find after he left outlining his plans.

“My dear parents, there are a number of reasons I will be going to the blessed land of Shaam [Syria] and leaving my home,” it read, according to a federal complaint. “We are all witness that the western societies are getting more immoral day by day. I do not want my kids being exposed to filth like this.”

Khan faces 15 years in prison on charges of providing material support to terrorists. He remains in custody.
