Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Lawyers for Boston jihad murderer ask judge to lift his prison restrictions

Feb 21, 2014 1:58 pm By Robert Spencer

RSDzhokharHe already gets catered halal meals, plus the Qur’an and other Islamic texts in prison. But even all that isn’t enough, as far as his lawyers are concerned, and given the tendency in the mainstream media to blame the U.S. for jihad attacks, parroting the jihadist tendency to justify all their murders by reference to lists of grievances, maybe law enforcement authorities should just end this poor dear’s suffering, let him out of prison and issue an apology to him for offending Islam and thereby driving him to attack the Boston Marathon.

“Marathon suspect lawyers say FBI too intrusive,” from the Associated Press, February 21 (thanks to Steve):

BOSTON (AP) — Lawyers for Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev are again asking a federal judge to lift special restrictions that have been placed on their client in prison, saying they are impeding their defense.

The lawyers said in a court filing Thursday that the FBI has been monitoring the case and that the Bureau of Prisons has tried to screen digital documents they have tried to view with Tsarnaev, in violation of his constitutional rights to prepare his case without government interference.

“These obstacles thwart preparation of important parts of the defense case …. and also threaten the integrity of attorney work product,” the lawyers said. The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed that a defendant’s rights to a lawyer “grants attorneys a zone of privacy within which to prepare the client’s case and plan strategy, without undue interference,” the lawyers wrote in the filing.

The measures limit Tsarnaev’s interaction with people who are helping the defense and restrict the communications and other activities of the defense team, the lawyers said.

They previously asked U.S. District Court Judge George O’Toole Jr. to ease the restrictions. Prosecutors lifted some.

The restrictions, known as special administrative measures, are necessary because of the suspect’s “commitment to jihad” and “widespread notoriety,” prosecutors have said.

Also Thursday, O’Toole allowed the appointment of a second attorney with expertise in defending clients facing the death penalty. David Bruck joins death penalty expert Judy Clarke on Tsarnaev’s defense team….

    OK, OK lift the restriction on imported camel urine and let him have as much as he wants. Remove his toilet and let him defecate in a hole and clean himself with rocks, and let him wear a sheet instead of pants and shirt.

    The presumption of innocence taken to the limit of absurdity.

    If someone who was poor were to be accuse of stealing food from Dollar General
    the doors of justice would be slammed shut in their face faster than a slice from a guillotine.

    Lent is approaching. The dietary rules are VERY strict for Orthodox and other Eastern Christians. Basically, it’s vegan plus shellfish. No cheese, dairy, animal products, or fish.

    Were I or another Eastern Christian to be jailed, would our religious requirements for Great Lent be respected by the prison authorities?

      You would have to ask your Christian law makers. However, they might be busy covering up the sexual abuse of children by your church leaders

      • Fr. Basil says

        Feb 22, 2014 at 6:05 am

        Jackson, since the only church I specifically named was Orthodoxy, can you please tell me just how and when Orthodox church leaders covered up sexual abuse?

        Then explain what sexual abuse has to do with the Boston bombings?

    Meanwhile, there are dead people and several others without limbs because of this bastard and his (thankfully) dead brother. And here’s the most important part: the dead people and those without limbs would still be alive or whole but for Islamic belief by these two wretched siblings.

    If no Islam, then no Boston Marathon Bombing. It’s that simple.

        Christian extremism compared to Islamic extremism is extremely minimal, almost non-existent, almost oxymoronic. Besides, when that rare Christian does use violence to promote Christianity, it is in spite of, not because of, what Christianity preaches. Contra Islam big time. You know this or should know it.

        Why don’t you take your pathetic, highly erroneous, grievously misinformed, tu quoque nonsense elsewhere because you will make no headway here at JW with regular commenters like Jay Boo. Oh yeah, for your information, oh ignorant one, Timothy McVeigh, by his own admission, wasn’t a Christian. The Oklahoma City Bombing had NOTHING to do with Christianity. You couldn’t even get this right. And meanwhile, just since 9/11 there have been over 22,000 documented Islamic terrorist attacks worldwide. How many Christian terrorist attacks have occurred since that date when 19 Arab Muslim monsters acted as they did? Your turn, doofus.

          Wellington, Christians can and do sin. That’s why most churches have some provision for confession and assurance of pardon in their forms of public worship. I note that even the late Maddie Murray O’Hair, as a young girl, attended the Presbyterian church pastored by the noted Clarence MacCartney, and expressed devotion and belief–even if something went wrong later on. In some ways, I think this mother of modern organized “atheism” was an “atheist” (idolator of science and the state) in a sort of culturally “Christian” way.

          You are right, of course, in noting that Christian teaching and doctrine do not glorify violence against the Saidian other–and far be it from me to go for the moral equivalence nonsense.

          But I also suspect that someone like Jackson is steeped in a sociological viewpoint that allows him to see as “Christian” anyone who isn’t a Muslim or a Jew.

          This being said, I think it’s a troll, and politely ask it to 去吃狗屎 (go eat a certain product of canis familris).

        Jackson – you’re a bigoted ignoramus.

        The guy who ran the cult group in Waco was a wacko. He was not a Christian.

        The guy who set off the bomb in Oklahoma City was an atheist – so he said.

        You should stop trying to think ; you might hurt yourself.

        Jackson,

        Then why wherever muslim meets non-muslim, the muslims are killing non-muslims, the Philippines, Nigeria, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia. That is not US foreign policy. That is the Koran telling the Muslims to find the unbelievers and kill them. Of course you know this because you are one of the muslim trolls on here.

        America is first among nations when it comes to beneficence to others. All countries consider their own interests of chief concern. Name another hegemonic power anytime in history that has been less imperialistic and done more to safeguard the welfare of others and liberate those under the yoke of tyranny? You are very foolish Jackson if you think they hate us more for what we do than for what we represent. I don’t think you ‘get’ what America is all about. Consider this: Russia as the Soviet Union and under the Tsar has killed vastly more Muslims historically than America has, and yet we are the great Satan, why do you suppose that is?

        …………………………

        What *absolute crap*.

        Pious Muslims like the Tsarnaev brothers are waging violent Jihad all over the world—in Britain, in the Philippines, in Nigeria, in Thailand, in India, in France—what does *any* of this have to do with American foreign policy?

        Moreover, the Tsarnaev family was involved in waging violent Jihad against Russia, which also has nothing whatsoever to do with American foreign policy.

        The fact is that they were warring *against Infidels*—any Infidels.

        Before they decided to murder innocent Americans and Chinese—one of the Boston Marathon bombing victims was from China—they considered going to Syria and slaughtering those they considered “insufficiently Islamic”. What does this have to do with American foreign policy?

        Your attempts at moral equivalence and slamming the victims are sickening and obviously false.

    An eight year old child was deliberately murdered by a selfish cowardly Muslim who was acting in accordance to Islamic ideology just like the shameless Muhammad whom he admired.

    It never ceases to amaze me just how easily craven opportunistic anti-Christian liberals are willing to stoop to have the momentary self-satisfaction of using such a vile act as an opening to cowardly sneak in and gleefully criticize Christianity while hiding behind Islamic fundamentalists.

  7. Jay Boo says

    Feb 21, 2014 at 9:46 pm

    Can anyone imagine what goes through the mind of someone as he deliberately places a bomb beside a child.

    He should want to commit suicide and be thankful for the death penalty once he realizes the sociopathic emptiness that Islam has offered him.

    • jackson says

      Feb 22, 2014 at 10:56 am

      Dude, seriously agree with you man. Putting a bomb near a child? What a bastard. It’s funny how on an individual level it seems so tragic but on a government level its become the norm. Vietnam war (Cambodia & Laos. Are you aware that the United States never formally declared war on Vietnam? Also, the pretence to America’s aggression (gulf of tollkin incident) has since turned be a fabrication. Similar to the WMD’S claim during the Iraq war. 4+ million civilians were murdered in Vietnam, half were women and children. America burned entire villages and towns.
      It only seems unacceptable when it happens to you guys. As a parting shot I’d like to say that your great at starting international conflicts but you have no finish. Haven’t one a war in since WW2 and in that one you helped win. And the shit you have started since is with third world counties, can’t even beat them. That’s weak. America is on such a decline. Fat, lazy and stupid.

      • Wellington says

        Feb 22, 2014 at 11:58 am

        Well, jackson, I know now where to turn to when I want a sophisticated and accurate assessment of America’s role in the world over the past half century. Your profoundly sapient assessment of America as “Fat, lazy and stupid” alone signifies geopolitical analysis of the highest order. Oh yeah.

    Or perhaps one of the Latin Fathers, in Latin.
    Let him really know what the West is about.

    • Kepha says

      Feb 22, 2014 at 11:00 am

      Better yet, give him the New Testament, Psalms, and Proverbs (a bit more digestible early on than all 66 books) in Chechen, Russian, Arabic, Farsi, Turkish, Malay, or whatever language he’s most comfortable reading. My guess is that Joker Tsarnaev is more comfortable with English, actually. If he uses them for instinjaa, all the worse for him when he faces the Judge of all the Earth (cf. Gen. 18).

        …………………………………

        A lot of people seem to misunderstand this principle. A suspect is to be presumed innocent until proven guilty *in a court of law*—and that is as it should be in a democratic nation.

        But to then assume that this extends to those not involved in the court case is absurd—that we are somehow hamstrung from using our own judgement and discussing the issue until the case is legally decided is, in fact, completely contrary to the principles of both democracy and common sense.

        More:

        Our government is a pos and the majority of the people are idiots that have no common sense and the inability to think rationally about anything,for christ f—– sake wake up.
        …………………………………

        What you are suggesting—essentially a society wide gag-order—is the very *opposite* of the rational.

    Muslims live off welfare. His parents and his brother were welfare creeps. His mother and his brother’s wife also shoplifted. He is getting welfare in prison. Wake up, America! He should be exterminated…yes exterminated…like the cockroach he is AND stop giving our hard earned money as welfare to Muslims.

    The hate I feel from these E-Mails is tangible. Let’s be ladies and gentlemen about this thing. When you have to kill someone, there’s no reason we can’t be civilized about it. No ripping off testicles or other inexcusable behaviors.

    First we find him guilty…a foregone conclusion.

    Second, we condemn him to death…not yet a forgone conclusion, but hopefully so.

    Third, we execute the young man, with no pain or religious blasphemies involved. Let him see his imam, and permit him to say his prayers.

    Fourth, I prefer execution by hanging. With an experienced man, it is quick, and certain. Death is painless and instantaneous. Clean and done.

    Fifth, the next part, is totally out of our control. He must face his Maker, and that is when the pain is really going to start. That part I’ll leave to God.

    I agree whole heartedly that this murderous piece of excrement should have his restrictions lifted. He should also be put in the general population and given no special protection; his young punk ass will be the handy pass around pack for bubba and his buds.

    This islamic terrorist should be transferred into the custody of Sheriff Arpaio in Arizona.

    How many WW II prisoners here got copies of Mein Kampf and only Hitler approved meals? I dare say, NONE !!!
