"U.S. man" guilty of urging attack on South Park writers over Muhammad episode

Zachary Chesser explained to Fox News:

"It's not a threat, but it really is a likely outcome" ... "They're going to be basically on a list in the back of the minds of a large number of Muslims. It's just the reality."...

Gee, what an Islamophobe! An update on this story. "US man guilty of urging attack on South Park writers," from BBC News, October 20:

A US man has pleaded guilty to supporting a Somali Islamist militant group and encouraging attacks on the writers of cartoon show South Park.
Prosecutors said Zachary Adam Chesser, 20, was outraged by the cartoon's perceived mockery of the prophet Muhammad.

Whose prophet?

Chesser sought twice to travel to Somalia to join al-Shabab, which the US designates as a terrorist group.

And oh, by the way here in the fourth paragraph, he's a convert to Islam:

The American Muslim convert faces up to 30 years in prison.
'Solicitation to murder'
Prosecutors said Chesser of Fairfax County in the state of Virginia also posted to an Islamist militant website the personal contact information of people who had joined an "Everybody Draw Muhammad Day" Facebook group.
"Zachary Chesser seriously endangered the lives of innocent people who will remain at risk for many years to come," US Attorney Neil MacBride said in a statement.
"His solicitation of extremists to murder US citizens also caused people throughout the country to fear speaking out - even in jest - lest they also be labelled as enemies who deserved to be killed."
US investigators said Chesser was a follower of radical US-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who is believed to be in Yemen with al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
Prosecutors said Chesser posted messages online from Mr al-Awlaki in which he called for violent attacks, and posted links to internet forums giving advice on how to plan them.
In addition, Chesser pleaded guilty to urging people to plant suspicious packages in public places in order to "densensitise" police so a real bomb would escape notice....

I have a compromise on this "the prophet Muhammad"/"whose prophet" business.

Let him be referred to as "the prophet 'Muhammad the Beheader.'" I'd be OK with that...

How old was he when he converted? He seems to have learned the truth of Islam in a short time...

All this, because he didn't like a cartoon that he saw. An animated show. He could have just shut off the TV and forgotten about it; apparently, his religion doesn't permit any of that forgiveness stuff.

Here's a pic of the perp, courtesy of The Jawa Report. .

no. they just get bent out of shape, offended and then threaten to kill someone. this how it is.
m

But he was always a wonderful kid, never had an issues with police. I don't know how he could have gotten these thoughts in his head...blah, blah, blah.

On a side note, how is it that no one ever takes notice that converts seem to be getting the wrong message about the religion of peace? It doesn't seem to take long for the converts to become the average enraged muslim...where are they getting these ideas? In the words of Judge Barbara Lynn, "I can't for the life of me figure out what moved [this fine young fellow] in this direction."

He sent details of everyone who joined that site. Hmm. I joined three or four times under different accounts, tried to upload some cartoons, with its own page linked to that page; got deleted every time.

I wonder which of my identities they have? I currently have about a dozen. I guess I'll need more.

Gee, he painted a large swath of Muslims with quite a broad brush don't you think? What will Joy Behar & Whoopi Goldberg say about that? Maybe they'll walk out of the United States.

Comic Relief, that pic on the Jawa Report tells me a lot of the story. . .The face of throat-slitter standing next to to the fool Zac speaks a thousand words. .'dem eyes, 'dem eyes

OT: There must be an Islamophobe moderating the CBC comments today. Getcher comments in now!

http://www.cbc.ca/canada/toronto/story/2010/10/20/tor-ontario-apartment-smoking-ban.html#socialcomments

Oo, scratch that, one of my comments got deleted. It said "If you want to charge smokers extra for rent, then make sure you charge Somalis extra, too. They're known to be VERY dirty tenants".

I'm in this debate, because as a smoker, I'm sick of being discriminated against, whereas no one else can be.

Yet abuse is heaped freely upon smokers in the rest of the comments. I'll try to post it again. And again. And again.

Certain others that are a bit more oblique are still there so far. Add your voice!


And this has what to do with the jihad? Unless you're stating you are going on a smoking jihad, why are you posting and asking for us to comment on this? More important things to worry about right now...

"And oh, by the way here in the fourth paragraph, he's a convert to Islam" -Mr. Spencer

Neither you nor the BBC article bothered to mention what religion Chesser converted from. That would be Judaism. The website that Chesser posted his threat on is also run by a former Jew:

http://original.antiwar.com/cathail/2010/05/10/from-shas-to-hamas/

How does one go from a Shas member to a Muslim Jihadist? Isn't that weird? Is it Jewish taqqiyah?

Speaking of Shas, they just announced that non-Jews were born only to serve Israel:

http://www.jpost.com/JewishWorld/JewishNews/Article.aspx?ID=191782&R=R1


Well, if Muslims can come into Canada without having to change a whit to please anyone, why should I?

Sure, it's part of it. Canadians and their ways get discriminated against, while Muslims and their ways are treated with kid gloves.

Hell, a Somali came on TV a while ago, and said that Canada *MUST* legalize Khat, because it's "part of the Somali culture" and we had no right to keep it from them when they come here. Meanwhile, Canadians have tried every which way to get Marijuana legalized, including using the religion card, to no avail .. Muslims just EXPECT that we'll give in to THEIR wants and desires, even if they just got off the boat an hour ago.

Canadians? We don't count. Look through the comments - lots of abuse towards smokers that has not been deleted by the moderator. Bring up ANY OTHER GROUP, though, BANG. You're gone.

That's BS, and I'll spam the CBC until they close the comments. I was just inviting others here to input on the discriminatory discrimination aspects of the debate.

I can sense your frustration...maybe posting on the CBC is not the best way to vent. Go have a smoke and think of a more effective mean to get your point out...not that I think you're going to have much success but obviously trying to connect muslim immigration and cultural sensitivity towards muslims only on an article about smoking is a stretch. Good luck.

Meanwhile at NPR, after CAIR complained, their news analyst Juan Williams, a civil rights author and activist, gets the chop. Why? Because he said on Fox that seeing men in Muslim garb on the airplane makes him nervous. No 'creeping' Sharia in the West? You can't say boo about Islam without self-incrimination, or so it seems at NPR.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-11600084

Makes me nervous too.

@dave742, nice try at heaving the burden of responsibility. Failed.

Well, thank you. But hey, the CBC is the #1 promoter of "multiculturalism" here, so maybe it is a good place to go. And it's the Toronto version of the news, lots of people read that.

I did also point out that Ontario and other jurisdictions would be better off banning the burqa instead of smoking. Dings for that are split pretty evenly at the moment.

You'd be surprised where you can slip stuff in! ;)

****************HEY GUYS, OT BUT IMPORTANT,******************

CAIR WEENIES TO COME ON AT 2:00pm EST ON FOX NEWS RE: THE JUAN WILLIAMS FIRING AT NPR. ACCORDING TO MEGAN KELLY, CAIR IS TOTALLY BEHIND THIS.

People like this pathetic young man Chesser are unpopular, insecure and starve for attention. Invariably they seek unpopular causes or a cause that has shock value in order to bring attention to their insignificant lives.

They become easy pray for these slime balls that call themselves Immams. Acceptance is a powerful lure and they know it. This scourge Awlaki, will be history very soon.

@ Dave742

Oh for a world run by the Jews! Have you seen how neat, tidy and well organized a kibbutz is? Have you seen the mess made by Muslims almost everywhere they live? Fatalists leave things to look after themselves, hence the dirt and chaos.

I've lived in the Middle East. I know what I'm talking about.

If only the world were run like an Israeli kibbutz. We'd be living much healthier, better lives. And Muslims would be free to continue with their bizarre religion, just as they are in Israel today!

But try getting permission to build a synagogue in Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of intolerance and psychopathic hatred. Know what I mean?

London Jim:
>>nice try at heaving the burden of responsibility.

And if a Muslim "converts" to Judaism and starts issuing death threats in the name of Judaism, then you will blame the Jewish religion? Try to be objective. Try thinking.

>>Oh for a world run by the Jews!

Dave: you are missing the point. it does not matter if he was born a muslim, a jew converted to Islam, a chritian and so on... what you need to recognize is that Islam has violence attached to it.
m

miriam rove:
No. You are missing the point. Do you really believe that a member of Shas converted to Islam? Are you really that gullible? Have you ever heard of the word "propaganda"?

whose porpeganda is this? the Jews? Israelis? or Zionists? or the Americans?and then what is the propeganda?

miriam:
If you don't understand by now, nothing more I can say will help.

dave742, personally I don't give a flying fig about any organised religion. .thruths as evidenced by facts are my concern, not ritual or filial piety. .and believe you me I have thought harder and deeper on this question of objectivity than you may imagine. .and my findings have sharpened my senses to distinguish certain traits in demeanour, poise, tone and trajectory of phrase and voice. .and to put it mildly, your response to my comment bears out my initial misgivings about your intent.

.............................................

I'm not a Jew, but I'd gladly help to build a world filled with intelligent, (count the Nobel prizes for Science etc...) resourceful people who have spent their history trying to avoid total destruction by thugs and hatemongers.

Other than the utterly bizarre excuse that they have disobeyed God and deserve genocide, according to Islam, why not acknowledge what they have given to world. And are still giving.


miriam:
"then help me out"

Chesser is note really a Muslim. He is a Jew who "converted" to Islam and acted like a lunatic in order to give bad publicity to Muslims. Ever wonder why so many former Jews "convert" and become violent Muslims?:

Dave,

If you jews were on a jihad based on the teachings of judaism, yes...I believe all would denounce that too, as well as, other jews. Just as Christians and just about every religion on this planet would, excluding islam of course. Muslims can do no wrong in the eyes of other muslims when it comes to the infidel (and disobedient women).

By the way, this christian would have no problem with jews running the world; they don't threaten me or my family. Plus, don't they already run the world? They don't need our assistance, they are pretty competent. It must be difficult for muslims to see what the jews have built in a mere 60 years as compared to any of the islamic countries they are surrounded by; muslims must be very jealous of the jews and that is why they resent them (above and beyond that crap in the koran).

LOL...yeah, it's a jewish conspiracy to bring down islam. Yeah, that's the ticket....is that really the best you can come up with? And all the other non-jewish converts that seem to get the same message of hate, were they born jewish?

You need to convert out of islam; it's wapring your mind and leaving you without any cognitive reasoning.

If the mainstream media had any sense of integrity, they would emphasize what is important in this story.

The headline would begin "American-Born Muslim Convert Guilty..." and his terrorist connections would immediately follow the opening paragraph about the court case itself.

One more for the file I have entitled "the dangerous converts".

As for 'dave's' ravings: his attempt (by invoking mad theories of sinister Jewish conspiracies to defame Islam) to deflect attention from the obvious: that many persons of non-Muslim origin and upbringing who as teenagers or young adults convert to Islam end up getting caught plotting acts of jihad terror, or enthusiastically cheering it on, exposes to us in all its twistedness the Mind of Islam.

He seems to have forgotten that one of the members of the murder-minded 'Toronto 18' was a lad from a *Hindu* family who had converted to Islam. Will Dave try to explain *that* away too, by depicting the ex-Hindu turned-Muslim jihad plotter, as a 'plant', too? as part of a grand * Hindu* conspiracy to make Islam look bad?

What's 'dave' going to do about the "jihad sheilas' in Australia, Rabiah and Raisa, one of whom was raised Catholic? Or David Hicks and Shane Kent?

Is he going to claim that they're *all* plants, or double agents, or somesuch?

Re Chesser, think of all the people from various backgrounds who were attracted to movements like Nazism and Communism. They're a species that gets a kick out of spitting in the face of millennia of moral authority and influence. I suspect that Chesser is that sort of person.

I just converted to Judaism 10 minutes ago and I urge all Jews to attack the writers of 30 Rock. Members of the Shas party have told me that all non-Jews are born to serve the Jews, and I do not think the writers of 30 Rock are supporting the Jews. They must pay. Please put my story on every MSM news channel for the next 3 months.

Dave (or Daoud?),can it please.

Assuming you're not being facetious, I've lived cheek by jowl with Jewish people (including some kin) to know that there's a large, respectful, and highly honorable component to both traditional Judaism and the people who practice it--even if I do think it's a pity you guys haven't recognized M'shiach in Yeshua ha-Notzri.

And, people whose idea of divine election is influenced by the book of 'eleh ha-d'varim and those of the Navi'im (Deuteronomy and the prophets to those of us who chiefly use English) are by no means bigots the way too many Muslims are. You see, I'm a Calvinist and I "get" how the idea of election teaches humility rather than pride.

And wa sai! I never thought I'd live to see the day when I actually defended another religion besides my own!

And, as for Shas, it can't govern teeny-tiny Israel without help from a few other parties.

I'm also someone deeply offended by South Park, and admit that there's a part of me that thinks its creators and producers deserve at least a good, swift kick in the pocketbook (one reason I won't watch Comedy Central). But murder? C'mon.


kepha:
"Dave (or Daoud?)..."

I always find it funny how people cannot fathom someone being able to adopt a position that opposes his own in-group. I defend Muslims, so I must be Muslim. How pathetic. When I defend CHavez, I am called a communist:

http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/chavez-wins-venezuela-loses/

Am I a Commie or a Muslim? Can you be both?

"And, as for Shas, it can't govern teeny-tiny Israel without help from a few other parties."

It's OK for a political party to say that non-Jews exist to serve Jews as long as it is not the majority party? If a Muslim poitical party states that non-Muslims exist to serve Muslims, do you think it would make it on the news? Do you think JW would have a thread about it?

Alternatively, we could refer to him as "the Provert", to highlight his pedophilia.
