Coeur d’Alene, an Idaho city with a population of over 50,000, had too many churches. Alexander Scott Mercurio, a new teen convert to Islam, had a plan to “fix that real soon.”
Ramadan was almost over and Mercurio was unhappy because he believed that he was a bad Muslim who hadn’t even assaulted, let alone killed any Christians, and would go to hell.
“I am a hypocrite who has not even spat in the face of a kafir (non-Muslim),” he complained in online chats. “Let alone spilled their blood and induced terror into their hearts and minds.”
Mercurio wasn’t sure if he could be considered a good Muslim without killing Christians.
“I really don’t want to miss out on the opportunity for jihad in Ramadan,” he worried.
While the bloody Islamic holiday of Ramadan is often used as a pretext to warn America, Israel and other countries to stop fighting Islamic terrorists lest it offend Muslims, it’s actually a time of redoubled terrorism. And Mercurio wanted to get in on that murderous spiritual opportunity.
“I’ve been thinking about Jihad. Well, I always am, but I mean it’s Ramadan,” Mercurio agonized. “I have motivation for nothing but fighting, like some kind of insatiable bloodlust for the life juice of these idolaters, a craving for mayhem and murder to terrorize those around me… primarily against churches.”
There are “three or five churches within walking distance of me” who would be objects of his “insatiable bloodlust: for the blood of non-Muslims.
Mercurio decided that he would strike on “the last few days of Ramadan, probably on Sunday, their special day.”
The special day was April 7th also known as the Octave Day of Easter or the Sunday of Divine Mercy and would have been well known to the Muslim convert who was raised as a Christian by his parents. But Islam has no mercy, certainly not divine and not human either, and neither did Mercurio who fantasized about massacring Christians on “their special day” of mercy.
Alexander Scott Mercurio had started out as a white supremacist before converting to Islam at the age of seventeen. He took on a user name meaning ‘total submission’ in Russian (because of his Russian immigrant mother) and whined about North Idaho and his “very Christian and conservative parents” who “want me to stop being Muslim” while he fantasized about building weapons that would allow him to “heap massacres upon the kuffar (non-Muslims) daily”.
The Muslim convert had been allegedly working on sending cryptocurrency donations to ISIS while taking part in an online group that attacked the Taliban for not being murderous enough.
Mercurio had allegedly begun chatting with a Muslim terrorist in Gaza who was moving money to ISIS, but then his pal, whom the FBI only says was “believed to have died”, presumably in fighting with Israel, went offline and an informant took over the account and became the receptacle for the convert’s fantasies about killing all the Christians.
“Walk to the nearest Church. Stop close by the church, equip the weapon(s) and storm the temple, kill as many as possible…. then burn the temple to the ground, flee the scene, then move onto the next church, rinse and repeat for all 21+ churches in the town until killed.”
Later the Muslim convert elaborated that he would “walk into a church and then start beating people with the ‘baton’; hit them first on the kneecaps and elbows… I will beat them only to incapacitate them, I will use my knives and machete to slit their throats and kill them.”
Then he would set the church on fire.
While Mercurio searched for knives and axes, he really needed something more powerful. After exploring the possibility of building some sort of flamethrower, he decided to get his dad’s guns. Initially he thought about killing or beating his father over the head with a pipe to get the key to the gun safe, and then decided he could just break in and grab the guns while his dad was out.
Mercurio got his ISIS flag, developed his plans and finalized a script for his ‘martyrdom’ video which included responding to the call of the Islamic State by “killing Jews and Christians” and “his message to the disbelievers to go to hell”.
But his plan to massacre churchgoers with guns, knives and fire ended when he was busted.
What had worried Mercurio most of all was not being caught, but having his act of Islamic terror misrepresented by the media. He was concerned that they would “slander me in the media and call me a mentally ill psycho who did this out of desperation and not as an act of religiously motivated terrorism.”
It will be easy for the media to dismiss Alexander Scott Mercurio as a teen who fantasized about killing people, and if he hadn’t done it for Islam, would have done it as a Neo-Nazi or just a random school shooter. And yet the documents released show that he agonized about trying to be a good Muslim. Failing at other traditional Islamic practices and prone to lapsing into pornography, he found the traditional Islamic loophole to get into ‘paradise’ through murder.
Mercurio is one of a growing number of American teens who convert to Islam, often in out-of-the-way places and then get involved in Islamic terrorism. Recent cases include Trevor Bickford, 19, of Maine, who tried to attack NYPD officers in Times Square with a Machete, Xavier Pelkey, 18, also of Maine, who tried to recruit two teens for a terrorist attack in Chicago, Cole James Bridges from Akron, Ohio, Mateo Ventura, a high school student in Wakefield, Massachusetts, and Jonathan Xie, a 20-year-old from a New Jersey suburb.
There is a pattern of teenage boys, resentful of their parents and society, with nothing to aspire to and nothing to believe in, drifting into fantasies of violently terrorizing everyone around them.
Islam, like Neo-Nazism, gave Alexander Scott Mercurio something to believe in and kill for.
“I will not live to see the day that the flag of Tawheed (Islam) flutters over every land, nor the day that the entire Earth is governed by the Sharia of Allah,” he wrote. “I will gladly spill my blood again and again to make that a reality.”
Both Islam and Neo-Nazism offered and offer young men the opportunity to kill and then die for a glorious cause, destroying everything around them so that a new dark order will rule the earth.
This primal evil impulse at the heart of Nazism, Communism, Islam and so many other evils is a perversion of the good impulse to build, uphold and to protect that America once used to offer.
Troubled young men seeking direction used to join the military, but now they find only wokeness there. The culture banishes young men, telling them they suffer from toxic masculinity and they drift into movements like those run by Muslim convert and alleged sex trafficker Andrew Tate or into Islam itself which preaches they can find meaning by killing Christians.
America needs to do more than spy on these young men, it needs to give them something to fight for. Because if it does not, Islam will. And they will become agents of our ancient enemy to kill, burn and bring down America, Europe and the entire civilized world under the flag of Islam.

“I will use my knives and machete to slit their throats and kill them.”
Yeah, try Shit shit with me, you little bitch. I’ll shove that machete up your ass. Talk is cheap.
David Ray says
Hear, hear! 🍻🇺🇲
However, I’d recommend a high capacity 12 gauge, as the little prick might not be alone.
(The press seem uneager to call him a “white supremacist”. I can’t imagine why.)
FDTS says
Exactly right, a 12 gauge loaded with 00 buck. Take no chances.
Mo de Profit says
What the west gave young men to fight for was family values and freedom.
Neither of these are valued anymore by the vast worldwide government establishment.
All exacerbated by the World pHarma Organisation and their lockdowns coupled with climate hysteria and the need to reduce the population.
The only solution is to defund the UN now.
Vic says
Our disabled Veterans need a new home. Let’s move the UN to somewhere other and get our Vets the home they need. UN OUT OF U.S. ASAP! Go 45–> Yay 47!👏🎉🇺🇸
Gary ( "Army Brat") says
There are many Military bases in the US that have un or under occupied barracks or housing that could be utilized to house our homeless or underfunded military veterans and retired military. They could also start small self supporting business to fund and feed these deserving veterans and give them pride and dignity. They have earned it. We owe them.
CS says
I am part of an armed security team at our church. There are 6 of us. We lock one set of doors after service starts so there is only open main entry way during the service.
If there are any churches out there that do not have armed security, you’re playing with fire. If this person would have even gained entry to our church (unlikely), he would been met with the full force of first, the security team, and many other members who are also armed. Put a team together. Better to be safe—than sorry. And thanks Daniel, for your great articles.
David Ray says
Other Christian church goers have had to put down low-lifes trying to gun down the congregation, so you gents made a wise decision.
Marie says
Our church is small, with maybe 20 congregants, and is located in a somewhat seedy area. We have security cameras around the perimeter with both doors dead-bolted throughout the entire service. We also try not to hang around too long after church has ended, so congregants usually disperse within 10–15 minutes after church ends. I also believe several members have concealed-carry. It’s important to stay safe out there because you never know what demon-possessed slimewad will come through those doors.
Jeff Bargholz says
You know, a lot of the old ladies at my Church are afraid of me. Me! The guy who will protect them if I have to. They think guns are evil. I notice they don’t think the police are evil because they have guns. American society is very screwed up now.
Alexander Scott Mercurio probably wouldn’t have existed when I was his age. The other kids would’ve beat his ass.
And Coeur d’Alene is one of the most beautiful cities in America. It’s right on a big lake. It’s Geneva beautiful. Mercurio didn’t deserve to live there. Or to have such a cool name.
Daniel Greenfield says
Thank you for staying on watch. We’ve had to do similar things in local synagogues.
Alkflaeda says
I remember being shocked in 2019 when our Messianic congregation was very graciously invited to share a service for the Day of Independence by the local synagogue, and there was uniformed security on the door. Considering what the UK has now become, I’m sad to say I would not be shocked now.
Jeff Bargholz says
It could be worse. You could live in Israel, which is being attacked by Iran right now under the auspices of Jihad Joe and his handlers. I saw video of HUGE missile explosions in a city there. Fuck that shit. I don’t know about you but I want to be able to walk outside my building without being blown to bits just for facing the day.
I personally think Iran picked a fight with an opponent it can”t beat. I think Netanyahu is going to tell Old Jihad Joe to fuck off and rip apart the mullah terrorist headquarters in Tehran.
But that’s just me. I sure hope so, though.
Beez says
Unfortunately, I don’t think my pastor, or the vestry would approve it. We have no plan, and it weighs on my mind a lot.
Venjat says
Yes, radical pmuslims are great risk to the modern civilization. Western ND European countries are experience the terror from the same people who gave shelter, funding and education. Once they establish their numerical strength they start cutting off the hand which fed them
Intrepid says
Poor Scotty. Oh well. There’s always another Ram-a-Dam-a-Ding-Dong next year, assuming you manage to get out of prison in time.
Stupid little wannabe Muslim punk.
Intrepid says
Pt.2
I guess Little Scotty never figured there might be a few armed guys in those churches who would simply not put up with his weak sauce Jihad B.S.
Hey Scotty, have fun being Big Bubbas beyotch.
David Ray says
Trash like this Mercurio are a gift of the jug-eared Barry administration.
As B. Hussein dumped muslims in Idaho, the once safe communities began to have women get assaulted & raped on a grand scale.
When the residents rightfully voiced the concerns, they were threatened with “hate crimes” charges from AG Loretta Lynch.
Low-lifes like Barry dump these scum in our neighborhoods, not Martha’s Vineyard.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes, the last I knew, Idaho was about 98% white.
And golly gee, it has one of the lowest crime rates of any state in the country. I wonder why?
Oklahoma has a low one too, but that’s because you don’t want to mess with those Okies. They won’t waste time telling you how they’re going to mess you up. They’ll just kill you. Those guys “noodle” Catfish. Look it up. It’s crazy.
Domenic Pepe says
I guess one does not have to be born an Islamic Moo — Slum in order to be depraved psychopathic
murderous berserk moronic and a delusional anti-Semitic and anti-American fool.
Here it is in Idaho ….. an American citizen …. ostensibly.
The rational way to deal with this is to crush depraved psychopathic murderous violent berserk delusional Islam itself.
“Islam, like Neo-Nazism, gave Alexander Scott Mercurio something to believe in and kill for.”
After 1400 years of depraved psychopathic murderous berserk Islam, and its scourge on humanity, it is time for humanity to be done with it …. permanently.
The ideology of Islam is purposely designed to brainwash from infancy the human mind into a state of depravity psychopathology murderous fantasies and submission to delusional hate filled ideation and paranoia.
The rational way for humanity to deal with Islam is to crush it for all time.
Eliminating Islam from the human family would be like eliminating smallpox and syphilis and covid.
Edward says
In response to this, will Tucker Carlson do another show about how Israel and Jews threaten Christians?
Will he cover this at all?
Daniel Greenfield says
Of course not. So far he managed to travel around the world from Russia to Spain to Dubai without talking about Islamic terrorism.
Judith2 says
He is off track lately…too much trust in “traditional” Christianity that left the faith long ago because standing with the Biblical faith takes intelligent understanding and Bible knowledge…traditions give Glory to Man in the highest…sad
Edward says
True, and he seems obsessed with traveling to faraway places. It would be nice if he cared as much about our own border.
Mo de Profit says
Where are Jews threatening Christian’s?
Beez says
In Tucker Carlson’s mind?
sumsrent says
White Supremacy, Neo-Nazism, skin heads are all linked to satanic islam…
They share the hatred of Jews, Blacks and reject the Trinity…
Thus… It shouldn’t surprise anyone that a White Supremacist would and could slide into becoming a full fledged satanic islamic Jihadist…
Vic says
The lines blur. Satan is good at that.
10ffgrid says
I thought that you were describing a democrat.
Onzeur Trante says
If only Wray had spied on him instead.
internalexile says
So, after all these years, jihad can indeed mean murder? Who knew?
Mike says
Jihad means submit.
Beez says
Islam means submission which brings peace.
Beez says
Jihad means struggle.
Jeff Bargholz says
And “jerk off” does too. But it has a happier ending. 😛
Down Easter says
So a 17 year old looser wanted the 72 Virgins. He may be very dissappointed.
Beez says
His balls haven’t dropped yet, and he’s going to prison.
Jeff Bargholz says
Hopefully a butt pound prison where he can meet new people and make some friends up his ass.
bert33 says
‘They’ are recruiting on US soil.
Nancy Faught says
Chuck Missler led Christian conferences in Coeur d’Alene often. So sad this young man never learned from him. If people don’t get ahold of God (good) they’ll grab ahold of evil (Satan) with both hands!
Libby says
And how soon will he be let back into society. ???? Too many are arrested then released. Our country is going down
Robann says
IF he is let out anytime soon up here in North Idaho, he will either conveniently “disappear” or most likely, the law will deliver him to some other far off location so he doesn’t conveniently disappear.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yeah, I’ve heard about you Idahoans. Potatoes, my ass.
SPURWING PLOVER says
All those who convert to Muslim and plan such Bloodshed need to be locked up for the rest of their lives and screw the ACLU and UN Human Rights Commision
Jeff Bargholz says
He said that? Damn.
Andrew Blackadder says
islamism is the new nazism..
Robert of Prague says
Daniel,
Been working all day on mixing & the video of the new jazz-rock satire on wokeness where I mention the little angel Danielle Bat-El Shefi. Don’t know if FPM allows links. Have a listen of ChildrenOfLight by Robert of Prague. The lyrics will drive the woke, deep state, etc., nuts. Schadenfreude is strong medicine.
Alex says
The small minded are easily used and manipulated.
THIS one is especially malleable.
ChiefStone says
CAN YOU SAY Thank You Evil izlamocrats
SPURWING PLOVER says
Big time stabbing in Australia Bloodshed in the Land Down Under say G-Day to that and its not Crocodile Dun Dees Big Knife either
