Betim Kaziu "became interested in the Koran and said he wanted to dedicate his life to God." Funny how becoming interested in the Qur'an led him to want to kill U.S. troops. How could he have misunderstood the book's beautiful message of peace?

"High school dropout convicted of trying to join terrorist group so he could kill U.S. troops," by John Marzulli for the New York Daily News, July 7 (thanks to all who sent this in):

A Brooklyn high school dropout was convicted Thursday of conspiring to join a foreign terrorist group so he could kill U.S. troops in Afghanistan.

Betim Kaziu faces life in prison for the jihadi adventure that took him to Saudi Arabia, Egypt and finally Kosovo - where he was arrested in 2009. [...]

Kaziu, 23, wanted to become a member of the Taliban or the Somali-based Al Shabbab so he could die a Muslim martyr on a battlefield in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Palestine or Africa.

"The defendant desired to wage jihad," Assistant U.S. Attorney Ali Kazemi said in his closing argument.

"He never intended to return to the United States. He hoped to die a martyr. "

Flush with cash from a court settlement for a playground accident, Kaziu traveled overseas with a buddy from Mill Basin who chickened out of the scheme and returned to Brooklyn to eventually became a government cooperator.

Defense lawyer Joshua Dratel argued that a trove of militant videos - including some from hate-spewing Osama bin Laden and Anwar Al-Awlaki - found on Kaziu's laptop computer don't make him a terrorist.

"Millions of people watch these videos and don't fight jihad," Dratel said.

Oh, that makes it all right, then.

Kaziu had made a so-called martyrdom video in Albania before he was arrested.

"I came here with the brothers to chill before I, God willing, depart," Kaziu said as he stood on a cliff above the sea.

We have an Assistant U.S. Attorney named Ali Kazemi?

We have truly been infiltrated and invaded. And permitted it to happen.

Who's to say that Assistant U.S. Attorney Ali Kazemi won't become infected with Sudden Jihad Syndrome someday, as the Major in the U.S. Army Nidal Hasan did?

"I came here with the brothers to chill before I, God willing, depart," Kaziu said...

There's a line of patriots willing help you achieve your goal of chill, big boy.

And:

Make that 1.2 Billion and I'd be more likely to believe it. They may not actually fight but they happily support jihad.

Die, scumbag traitor!

Ahh, poor baby, he looks like a sad little leprechaun who has lost his mummy.

(Has this photo been PhotoShopped? Can he really have skin that smooth, I want to know what face cream he uses.)

"Tunisian migrants kicked out of Paris gym"

Apparently Paris is now flooded with Tunisian (Muslim) refugees. France is demographically doomed.

Stop Islamic immigration NOW. Those convicted of Terrorism, need to be placed with Sheriff Joe on his chain gangs and their families deported back to where they came!

Little dirtbags like that make me want to grab him by his scrawny beard and slam his head repeatedly into the first horizontal surface I can find.

But he's such a nice looking young man...

Have you ever seen a more ridiculous, saffron comedy beard? Look at this toe-rag...but all too often when I walk the streets of London, I see people like this staring back at me.

Darwin said we have all descended from a common ancestor that existed millions of years ago. Is it possible that .... no, surely not.

Well, at least we can be sure that Gillette doesn't sponsor jihad.

Another total loser. Islam attracts so many of them. Hmmm. Wonder why.

I'd like to superimpose that picture of this POS on the speed-bag in my garage so I could beat the "Religion of Peace" out of him every day...

Betim Kaziu. A Kosovar Albanian. Rewarding our United States of America for murdering Serb Christians and their children for him. For destroying Serb Christian holy places in Kosovo. For brutally eradicating Christianity from Kosovo. All to please him and 1 billion other Muslims.
The unspeakable evil the US, England and other Western democracies did unto the Serb Christians. The evil.

Ruslan Tokhchukov, EnragedSince1999.

The boy couldn't even muster the ambition, intellect and discipline to make it through a Brooklyn public high school, but he thinks he has the fortitude it takes to be a soldier?

Tatoo a big red "L" for loser on his forehead and give him a job in the circus cleaning up after the elephants.
