Man Faces Gun Charges After Cache Of Weapons Found
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Federal officials said on Friday that a large amount of weapons were found at the home of a man who allegedly stole the identity of someone bound to a wheelchair and suffering from cerebral palsy, and used it to try to flee the country.
Abdullah Mohammed Muslim, formerly known as Johnnie Clagg, faces felony gun charges, 10TV’s Andy Hirsch reported.
Muslim, 38, allegedly stole personal information from people and tired to use it to get a passport to leave the country.
Police stopped Muslim’s vehicle on the city’s southwest side in October. He was wanted on charges of identity theft and trying to falsify a passport.
After being arrested, federal agents went to his home and said they found an arsenal inside, Hirsch reported.
Investigators said they found two AK 47s, a 9mm semiautomatic rifle and more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition, pipe bomb materials, a ballistic face mask and vest, and a flak jacket.Muslim’s attorney said his client traveled from Columbus to tribal areas of Pakistan and that he converted to Islam while spending time in prison.
He said his client has no ties to any terror organizations.
Federal authorities agreed, saying this was not a case of terrorism, but they would not elaborate on a motive or other details in the case until he is sentenced, Hirsch reported.
Muslim remained in the Franklin County Jail. A sentencing date in federal court has not yet been set.

This jailhouse convert, just has to be misunderstood. The weapons were probably for target practice, and his trip to Pakistan was just your typical vacation. He was not joining the jihad…
This guy is classy…again so many ex cons convert because they really don't have to change their behaviors..only their god..its a wonderful thing!
pislam is the perfect religion for criminals. You can lie, cheat, steal, rape and murder and its all sanctioned by allah.
"Federal authorities agreed, saying this was not a case of terrorism"
well…No..NOT YET!!!,
No, of course not! He was just planning to go hunting.
I'm almost amazed they haven't used their WMD to nuke dar al-harb yet. It must itch in the jihadists trigger fingers
The only arselifters who have nukes are Pakis. They don't have ICBMs though. India appears to be their primary target.
Yes, but they could have if they wanted happen to slip one by to Al Qaida who in turn could have smuggled it to Europe or America and detonated it there.
Poor rabbits if he did.
We recently had a case of animal cruelty in Sweden but the perps where gypsies and not arselifters this time. However, I have little doubt that muz could also burn wabbitses alive and filming it and laugh at it.
They'd probably prefer to have sex with them.
Or perhaps rather to the taleban.
