U.S. charges Muslim in Boston with hindering Marathon jihad bombing probe

May 30, 2014 9:26 am By Robert Spencer

Boston-Marathon-bombing-investigation-jpgHe is charged with destroying records. He also brought dinner to the bombers on the night of the attack. If the charges are true, he clearly approved of what they had done. What could have motivated him to support the mass murder of innocents? Could it be the belief system and ideology that no one dares examine?

“U.S. charges Kyrgyzstan national with hampering Boston bombing probe,” Reuters, May 30, 2014 (thanks to Twostellas):

BOSTON, May 30 (Reuters) – U.S. officials on Friday charged a Kyrgyzstani national who bought dinner for the accused Boston Marathon bombers the night of the attack with interfering with the investigation into the deadly bombing.

The man, Khairullozhon Matanov, a 23-year-old taxi driver who lives in Quincy, Massachusetts, faces one criminal count of destroying records and three of lying to investigators in a terrorism investigation, according to court papers.

Prosecutors said Matanov had been friends with accused bombers Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, spoke with both in the days after the blast but lied to police about the extent of his relationship with the pair. (Reporting by Scott Malone)

    Of course, MSM, such as BBC, censor out all reference to Muslims in this.

    Boston TV is covering it live right now. One of the newscasters actually let it slip that this new suspect “worshipped” with the Tsarnaevs. Hmm.., I wondered..what manner of worship? Was it a Quaker revival? A Zen Buddhist retreat? Were they all together at the local synagogue? It’s just one of those complicated, unfathomable questions that the mainstream media always finds nearly impossible to answer.

    Typical Muslim. Koran requires them to “kill the infidel”…just like the sociopath MUHAMMAD…Typical ordinary Muslim…

    The authorities knew about this guy a year ago, right after the bombing occurred. They even reported his attempts to hide and destroy evidence on the Tsarnaev’s computer, etc. SO WHAT TOOK THEM SO LONG TO ARREST HIM??? Sometimes I think our American officials are dumber than dumb!!!!

      Don’t assume the delay means they were “dumb”. They want to build their case. I regard it as possible there could have been other motives: like what’s this guy up to?

    Ain’t Islam grand? Unless we push Islam out of our midst we are in for a hellish fight. Enoch Powell and Churchill were correct in their summations of Islam.

    So what exactly is the reason that these muslim idiots commit these heinous acts of treason and murder??? Ahemm! Are you ready for this? It’s the promise made to them by their “religious” leaders–the imams, if you will–(which is also promised by the writings of mohammed in the koran), OF ETERNAL BLISSFUL VILE AND LUSTFUL SEXUAL GRATIFICATION. THAT’S IT!!! They actually believe that their allah-god is proud of them and has a great reward in store for them. IT’S WAY OUT THERE IN LEFT FIELD!!!!! Talk about a diabolical delusional “religious” system of beliefs!!!!!

      Hello RG —

      You have mentioned something that I also have been thinking about lately.

      That promise of virgins after death in a fight against the “infidel” is so strikingly different from other faiths’ hope of LEAVING BEHIND our worldly human desires, and instead becoming part of eternal unity with a creator.

      Islam thus shows how it came NOT from God, but rather from the mind of a human — a warrior who strove to bind fellow combatants to him with the most important prize that soldiers have always had, in return for their pledge to fight until death: sexual gratification.

      “ETERNAL BLISSFUL VILE AND LUSTFUL SEXUAL GRATIFICATION. THAT’S IT!!!”

      The 72 virgin myth is the “carrot”, here’s the “stick”:

    Khairullozhon Matanov shows the Tsarnaev brothers did not act alone.

    How many others were there? How many jihad cells are there in the USA? I’m guessing there are hundreds from the conversations I’ve had with ‘ordinary’, ‘moderate’ Muslims. They are hiding their true feelings from the dirty kufar…

    Why is that concept hard for Obama, Hillary and Kerry?

    It is extremely negligent of you to lead the reader into believing that this is true, as well as that the accused bomber is in fact the culprit behind the alleged bombings at the Boston Marathon. A large amount of evidence points to others involved and that the attack was staged, as well. You are leading people into decrying all Muslims into a group of terrorists and attacking the religion of Islam as a vile and non-legitimate religion. Very unprofessional and dangerous. It makes you appear stupid, sir.

      Hello Michele —

      Thanks for providing my Friday afternoon laughter… And I suppose the Twin Towers were brought down by “controlled demolition” ????

      When you have a few spare months, read all the FACTUAL posts here on Jihadwatch’s 13 year archives, about what worshippers of Allah do to their fellow human beings.

      Let me guess Michele- you think the Jews were behind the attacks? Leftist Jihadist apologists like you always blame the Jews for everything

    • CogitoErgoSum says

      Is not the entire religion of Islam based upon the words of one man, Muhammad? We have only his word that what he said came from a god who, as Muhammad tells it, will no longer even communicate with the Earth to support Muhammad. Much of what Muhammad said is not even supported by the words of previous prophets or teachers found in the Old or New Testaments. Even the words and actions of Jesus Christ do not support Muhammad’s teachings. Placing your faith and trust in this one man, Muhammad, who has such little credibility makes you and anyone else who believes what he said seem very unprofessional and dangerous……..and, yes, even stupid, Michelle.

      You are a fool, to believe what you’ve written. First off, this “So Called Religion of Peace-Is Anything But. It is a CULT, and Muslims/Islamists belong to this CULT, that LOVES DEATH, and they want to KILL Infidels(that’s anyone who does NOT believe in their “Cult of Death”….so wake the hell up, and stop trying to insinuate that we are saying ALL Muslims are Terrorists. We are sayng that ALL TERRORISTS WORLD WIDE, SEEM TO BE THE ONES KILLING INFIDELS, AND NON-MUSLIMS, AND CERTAINLY IT HOLDS TRUE, THEY ARE KILLING CHRISTIANS. GOT A PROBLEM? Get out of the 7th Century, and into the 21st., and realize that these people “Love Death, NOT LIFE.”

      BTW: I’ve NOT heard from ‘moderate muslims who ARE condemning these killings so am I NOT being fair?” TOUGH.

    Given your obvious intellectual faculties, michele, I imagine that there are a great many things in this world which “appear stupid” to you.

    A better understanding of muslims: extremist cut off you head while moderates hold your feet down..

    “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every
    fingertip of them”

    Peaceful religion…??? My ASS

    Fact: in the 1400 year history of islam, muslims have murdered over 270 million people.
    Fact: Since 911, muslims have committed over 21 thousand deadly terror attacks around the world.
    Fact: Islam can not and will not peacefully co exist with any other religion on earth. Never.

    Fact: Where are all those so called “peaceful” muslims when the terror
    attacks occur? Why do they not stand publicly against the attacks as a
    religious group?

    A few observations.

    First, and best, he’s NOT a US citizen. He’s “a Kyrgyzstani national “.

    That means, surely, that once he’s tried, and convicted, and sentenced, and once he has done his time in jug, he can be stripped of his residency or whatever it was that allowed him to be on US soil, and packed onto a plane, and Returned To Sender. US jihadwatchers may like to write to their elected representatives enclosing this news story and stating that they want Khairullozhon Matanov to be DEPORTED as soon as he’s done his time.

    Second observation: he’s from *Kyrgyzstan*. That is actually waay over next to Afghanistan and China and one *hell* of a long way away from Chechnya. Two different languages, two different ethnicities, and the *pre-Islamic* culture and history of those two regions [the involvement of Russia, whether Tsarist or Communist, in both *post-dates* the arrival of Islam] were quite different. *All* they have in common, really, is Islam, Islam, Islam.

    Third observation: the Allah Gang, or Ummah, or Mohammedan Mob, functions exactly like any other Gang or Organised Crime “Family” – it has an “omerta”, a code of silence. Members are not supposed to “rat out” other members to Outsiders, that is, to the dirty Unbelievers.
