Atlanta: Molotov cocktail, gasoline found in Iranian Muslim student’s apartment after he is severely burned in fire

Feb 5, 2014 7:09 pm By Robert Spencer

Just a naive kid working up some fireworks, you greasy Islamophobe. “Explosive device, gasoline found in burned student’s apartment,” by Alexis Stevens for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, February 5 (thanks to Benedict):

A suspected Molotov cocktail and several plastic bottles filled with gasoline and kerosene were found in the Midtown apartment of a Georgia Tech graduate student severely burned, police said Wednesday.

Saamer Akhshabi remains in Grady Memorial Hospital with third-degree burns over 90 percent of his body from the fire started in his apartment Tuesday afternoon in the 200 block of 10th Street, police said.

Late Tuesday night, it wasn’t known what caused the fire. But an FBI spokesman said the man’s burns were possibly from an incendiary device….


In addition to what police described as a Molotov cocktail — a container filled with flammable material, and often topped with a make-shift fuse — police said several gasoline- or kerosene-filled bottles were found in the apartment.

Police reported the incident to U.S. Homeland Security, and a police SWAT team, and agents with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the FBI were called in….

Akhshabi is studying in the College of Computing at Tech, where he has attended since 2009, according to his web page. He was scheduled to graduate in May, Nagel said Wednesday. Prior to moving to Atlanta, Akhshabi completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Tehran in Iran.

    Can we afford having Muslims in our midst of they are going to behave like this? What is the cost of having jihadists among us? Is the cost too high?

    This boy should go to jail for 20 years.

    • Christian A. Beltram says

      Twenty years is too lenient a sentence. If he cannot receive the death penalty, then he should at least be sentenced to life in prison. After that, Iran’s government should be overthrown by whatever means are necessary. Bullies like Iran’s government are able to get away with their crimes because the world’s leaders are too greedy for the oil and other natural resources that are found in the Islamic world and they are too cowardly to stand up to the bullying for fear of being labelled intolerant if they do so. It is time for the world’s leaders to be proud of their intolerance for the bullies who rule the Islamic world and who are currently spreading their hateful religion everywhere they go because that is the only way that the free world can survive. To me, letting bullies hurt and intimidate people is not toleration but is instead putting up with evil. This makes me ask one question, how much bullying can people take before they snap? In other words, how much poison can people take before it kills them?

      We are insane to allow Muslims to immigrate into the USA, because you never know which ones are going to become jihad terrorists. It does not take much to turn a young male Muslim into a terrorist. Should we have allow Soviet Communists to immigrate into the USA during the Cold War, or let Germans immigrate to the USA during WW2?

    • Joel says

      Feb 7, 2014 at 12:33 pm

      I disagree; sending him to prison would:

      a. cost money
      b. make him a martyr for the lefties and Islamist apologists ( many of whom are the same)

      Just deport him back–burns and all–to his beloved Tehran. Let their hospitals treat him

      We have enough idiots here– and enough home grown terrorists and creeps and crooks and murderers.

    Another waste of an intelligent human being PRECISELY because he is a Muslim. All else being the same, but for this young man being a Muslim, wouldn’t he be almost infinitely better off if he weren’t?

    Who but poisoned minds would argue otherwise? Poisoned minds who can only belong to one of two groups——fellow Muslims and Western liberals. Count their worth by this warped endorsement I say to everyone.

    Police said several gasoline- or kerosene-filled bottles were found in the apartment.

    Is it a possibility that he was using this for heating with a kerosene heater?
    Kerosene heaters use a pressurized tank and are notorious for fires.
    Why would a PHD student rely on such a crude device?
    Just a thought

    • Thomas Wells says

      Feb 5, 2014 at 10:45 pm

      I guess he didn’t have a pressure cooker.

    • Wallabee says

      Feb 6, 2014 at 8:46 am

      When I was a child, my parents used kerosene lanterns for light and kerosene stove for cooking. But that was in the 1950s, and we were living in a one bedroom cabin 5 miles past the end of the road on an Island in Alaska. We had no electricity, gas or other heat. (or sewer system, for that matter — we used an outhouse in the summer and a chemical toilet in the winter).

      But this is 2014 and this is metro Atlanta. This guy was not using kerosene for heating or lighting. The cops reported finding makeshift Molotov cocktails.

      The guy may be a grad student at Georgia Tech, but I suspect he chose this method over a more complicated means of Jihad because it is much easier and less noticeable to assemble a Molotov cocktail in the privacy of one’s apartment. Other methods, could involve purchasing more expensive and obvious parts/chemicals that might have come to the notice of police and/or FBI.

    I wonder how many times I’ve walked past a person like him without knowing it. The government is guilty of criminal endangerment for allowing these psychos in the country.

      i wonder that. what was his aim?

      3rd degree burns to 90% of his body. he’s already in hill.

      hope it was worth it buddy.

    I wonder how many smiley Islam-is-a-religion-of-peace Muslims knew he was a terrorist pig and didn’t alert authorities.

    http://www.icmresearch.co.uk/reviews/200… Federation of Student Islamic Societies: 1 in 5 Muslim students in Britain would not report a fellow Muslim planning a terror attack.

  25. Candid Progressive says

    Feb 6, 2014 at 4:27 pm

    Third-degree burns over 90% of his body! I honestly wouldn’t wish that on ANYONE — just as I wouldn’t wish hell on anyone, as some of you tender-hearted Christians do with such obvious glee.

    I might wish him dead, and others like him, but that’s just to get them out of circulation so they can’t hurt innocent people, not because I revel in the prospect of anyone’s suffering. But dead is not good enough for some of you; you want them to suffer for enternity, which is a monstrous idea from a monstrous old book.

    • Candid Progressive says

      Feb 6, 2014 at 7:36 pm

      Uh…make that “eternity”, not “enternity”. That’s what I get for sleeping through typing class!

    • Bezelel says

      Feb 6, 2014 at 7:51 pm

      @ candid prog. Would you have felt better if it were innocent people that were burned? The Boston bombers showed how much they care and Seattle just had an Arsonist event. It’s time for the home team to spike the football. Why? Because no innocents were harmed.

      • Candid Progressive says

        Feb 6, 2014 at 8:46 pm

        Bezelel, I definitely would NOT have preferred to see innocent people burned instead of this jihadi who was mixing up Molotov cocktails. And if that a**hole had accidentally taken himself out via a bullet to the head, I probably would have gotten a chuckle out of that. I just don’t like seeing anyone burned. And third degree burns over 90% of the body? — that’s some seriously unpleasant business there.

        Don’t get me wrong! I want those jihadi bastards dead! I just don’t like to see them burn (if I have my druthers). And I sure as hell wouldn’t want to see ANYBODY burn in hell for eternity, as some of the commentators on this site clearly would.

        I guess what I’m saying is, I’d rather see the jihadis take up Russian Roulette, instead of fiddling around with flammables. And I’d like to see my fellow counter-jihadis exhibit a little empathy when it comes to the prospect of someone burning in hell. Dead is good enough, folks!

        • Bezelel says

          Feb 7, 2014 at 8:44 am

          @ candid, Robert E. Lee said, It’s a good thing that war is so ugly or we might grow too fond of it.

      Feb 6, 2014 at 11:33 pm

      I’ll bet the muzzie is also unhappy he got burned alive. However, I think if his actions resulted in you getting burned alive, I don’t think he would have the slightest guilt about it, because you’re a najjis kaffir, an untermenschen in islam0fascist ideology.

      Atlanta: Molotov cocktail, gasoline found in Iranian Muslim student’s apartment after he is severely burned in fire
      …………………………………….

      My mother-in-law lives in metro Atlanta.

      Saamer Akhshabi was getting a good education at a fine American university, and decided to repay his hosts by plotting violent Jihad terror.

      For those feeling sorry for this vile Jihadist who consider anything but sympathy to be an inappropriate response, keep in mind that it wasn’t some cruel Infidel who harmed this would-be bomber—it was the bomber himself, who intended his innocent victims to suffer in just this way.

      Then it is the “filthy” Infidels who have taken him to a hospital and made sure he is getting good medical care and treatment for his pain.

      I really don’t see how someone can read this story and decide that the real problem is that the Unbelievers are not empathetic enough.

      • Defcon 4 says

        Feb 7, 2014 at 4:19 pm

        Brigitte Gabriel related a story in which she took her mother to an Israeli hospital for treatment and there was a muslim patient in the room w/her Christian mother. She stated that once the Israeli medical staff were out of earshot this muslim patient would begin ranting and raving about the evil perfidious Jews in Arabic.

      • Candid Progressive says

        Feb 8, 2014 at 12:32 am

        That’s not what I’m saying. I don’t think “the real problem here is that the Unbelievers are not empathetic enough”. I think the REAL problem here (if I had to pick just one) is Islam.

        But another problem, for me, is seeing my fellow counter-jihadis express such glee over this jihadi turning himself into a human torch, and (especially) over the prospect of him roasting in hell for eternity. That’s the sort of crap the Allah junkies talk about us. I think we can do better than that.

        Again, I’m smiling when I hear about a would-be suicide bomber who blows himself to Kingdom Come prematurely, without taking any infidels with him. Dead jihadis are good jihadis! (And, in that sort of scenario, it’s just “click!-boom!-dead!”) But this reveling in the suffering of others is not attractive.

        The death of a jihadi gains us something. (i.e., safety) The suffering of jihadis, here or in the hereafter, gains us nothing. That was my point.

        • Bezelel says

          Feb 8, 2014 at 9:41 pm

          I can appreciate your sentiment, but I would say that Their belief that something will be gained for their ghastly behavior is part of the problem. Every piece of evidence to the contrary is priceless.

  26. Joel says

    Feb 7, 2014 at 12:42 pm

    Just curious–if he or his family might be planning to SUE the oil co (and/or service station) that sold him the gasoline and also whoever sold him the kerosene.

    Could claim that they DID NOT LABEL THEM ” FLAMMABLE”.

  27. Jan says

    Feb 7, 2014 at 3:28 pm

    Empathy ?

    He was burned by an incendiary device he kept in his own flat.

    What, exactly, do *you* think he intended to do with it ? I would bet a whole lot of money he meant to fry infidels, not himself. No doubt you also feel empathy for the surviving Boston Marathon bomber; poor chap lost his brother. Awww …

    • Candid Progressive says

      Feb 8, 2014 at 12:43 am

      No, I don’t feel any empathy for the surviving Boston Marathon bomber, who ran over his own brother in a car, after killing and maiming innocent people. And I don’t feel any empathy for their mother, who stated that they moved to the U.S. in order to promote Islamic values and undermine our own.

      It’s one thing to want jihadis dead, and another to want them roasting in hell forever. (Or burnt to a living crisp in this world.)

  28. Champ says

    Feb 7, 2014 at 3:50 pm
