A Long Island dope who dreamed of engaging in “violent jihad” and even traveled abroad to join ISIS — led the feds to his own doorstep when he started gabbing about his intentions after a recent pot arrest, federal authorities said Saturday. Elvis Redzepagic traveled to Turkey and Jordan in attempts to enter Syria so he could join ISIS and the al-Nusrah Front, a branch of al Qaeda, the US Attorney's office said Saturday, a day after the wannabe jihadist was busted at his Commack home. Before the terror bust, Redzepagic was arrested for minor crimes such as pot possession in Suffolk on Feb. 2, and trying to sneak onto the New York City subway on Feb. 28, records show. In the weeks that followed, Redzepagic voluntarily spoke to federal investigators who then got warrants to examine his social media, laptop and cellphone.
