Connecticut: Muslim gets 18 months for illegal purchase of body armor

"It's a war out here," explained Waheed Islam, "and Satan's soldiers are on the attack. So we must prepare ourselves!"

"Connecticut Felon Sentenced for Illegal Purchase and Possession of Body Armor," from the FBI (via 7th Space), May 6:

David B Fein, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, announced that WAHEED ISLAM, also known as “Walter Missouri, Jr,” 43, of Seaman Circle, Manchester, was sentenced today by United States District Judge Robert N Chatigny in Hartford to 18 months of imprisonment, followed by one year of supervised release, for illegally purchasing and possessing body armor. According to court documents and statements made in court, WAHEED ISLAM placed an order with an overseas company for a bullet-proof vest designed to withstand gunfire from a 9mm pistol. Federal agents learned of the shipment, intercepted the package, and monitored its delivery to the defendant’s Manchester residence on December 6, 2010, whereupon WAHEED ISLAM accepted delivery of the package. A short time later, agents executed a court-authorized search warrant at the residence and found the package containing the bullet-proof vest on the premises.

ISLAM has previously been convicted of multiple felony crimes of violence, including first-degree assault and first-degree robbery. It is a violation of federal law for a person previously convicted of a violent felony to possess a bullet-proof vest. On January 19, 2011, ISLAM pleaded guilty to one count of possession of body armor by a violent felon. ISLAM has been detained since his arrest on December 6, 2010....

He is certainly correct, "Satan's soldiers are on the attack" and he, being one of them is preparing himself for the up coming offensive! He should received 18 years instead of 18 months.

Anyone know if he was 'Walter Missouri Jnr' by birth or whether that was a pseudonym? So far it etches out as jailhouse Da'wa.

I don't think this is newsworthy because he's just a nut. Islam exacerbates paranoia but just because he tried to buy a bullet proof vest doesn't mean he was planning to go berzerk. All it indicates is that he's paranoid and stupid.

There is a lot of schizophrenia, retardation and god knows what else caused by the arabic practice of unvetted cousin marriage. The maladaptive unfortunates that often result from such unions are targeted by jihadi recruiters for suicide attacks but they don't go Fort Hood on their own because they lack the meager mental capacity required to organize such atrocities on their own.

The fact that this guy tried to buy the bullet proof vest himself indicates to me that he's not connected to a network. I'm sure the handlers of a jihadi would either be able to get body armor thru contacts without tripping alarm bells or would know better then to try.

This isn't a thwarted jihadi episode but it's good that it's made the enemy aware that the US government is vigilant about such things.

john,

how about 18 consecutive life time sentences?

just a nut?

sure bud.. keep spinning on your seatless stool

ASk Muhammad about the importance of body armours !!!
In the battle of Uhud, Muhammad wore two coats of mail even if he had no intention of fighting or exposing himself to danger.

Did you catch this? A sting in a hornet's nest this brave pilot might not have been aware of:

Of course CAIR is on the case.

And where were those two imams (Masudur Rahman and Mohamed Zaghloul of the Islamic Association of Greater Memphis) going? Well - to speak on the North American Imams Federation 2011 Conference (also sponsored by CAIR) in Charlotte, solely devoted to "Islamophobia - Diagnosis and Treatment". E.g. "How to sucessfully shove down Islam and Sharia everydhimmis throat. Brought to you by CAIR, ISNA, ICNa and Shura New York. And all usual suspects speaking.

Here ist the program:

Did you catch this? Two imams kicked off a US-plane yesterday.

They are speakers at and were on their way to this despicable Conference ("Islamophobia - Diagnosis and Treatment". Eg.: How to exclude Islam and Sharia from any criticism and scrutinity):

CAIR is already on the case. CAIR also co-hosts the conference.

"and Satan's soldiers are on the attack. So we must prepare ourselves!"

How quaint, a devout christian might have made the same statement, but he or she would be speaking of "spiritual armor".

Why does he need a bullet proof vest when Allah will protect him...During America's wild west stage, the Sioux Indians, believed that the Great Spirit (Allah) had made them bullet proof, so they would ride within bullet range of US soldiers, and when they didn't get hit it was proof they were bullet proof...
Allah protected Chief Sitting Bull once when he needed to set an example...The US Army was on one side of a field, the Indians were on the other...Sitting Bull walked out to the middle of the field within bullet range, sat down facing the army and lit his pipe...After a few puffs and bullets kicking up dirt around him, and he turned to his troops and yelled, 'Anyone want to join me in a smoke'? His chiefs including Crazy Horse had to take him up on it, so they went and joined him for a smoke bullets were flying all over the place, but Allah was protecting them so no one got hit...After the pipe was passed Sitting Bull said they could go back now...His five chiefs ran back to their side while Sitting Bull got up slowly took a big stretch and strolled back to his side...And he did that with no bullet proof vest...His only protection was Allah...As far as I know that is the only time Allah actually protected anyone...He must have liked Sitting Bull a lot...

Practice head shots.

Is that the same Judge Chatigny who explained that he considered "sexual sadism" a MITIGATING factor when sentencing some pervert a couple of years ago?

I'd go back and read the fine print of his sentencing documents. Being an Appalling Idiot in one type of legal case may indicate Appalling Idiocy in another type.

Jihadi martyrs should not be allowed to own body armor, it is sort of counter productive. ;-)

The antidote for body armour is head shots.

Well, you learn something new every day. When I read the first few sentences of the article I got worried that bullet proof vests were illegal and that we were all sitting ducks. I had no idea that convicted criminals were not allowed to purchase or own body armor. I'm feeling better already. At last, a law that doesn't punish the law abiding.
