US Muslim pleads guilty to providing material support to Al-Qaeda, Al-Nusra Front and Al-Shebab jihadists

al-Nusra“A naturalized US citizen from India pleaded guilty Friday to providing material support to al Qaeda, its Syrian affiliate Al-Nusra Front and Shebab militants in Somalia after an FBI sting operation.” How did Gufran Ahmed Kauser Mohammed come to misunderstand Islam in such a way? When he immigrated from India, did U.S. officials make any attempt to determine whether or not he was a supporter of jihad terrorism against the U.S.? Of course not. That would have been “Islamophobic.”

“American pleads guilty in al Qaeda sting operation,” AFP, July 12, 2014 (thanks to Lookmann):

Washington: A naturalized US citizen from India pleaded guilty Friday to providing material support to al Qaeda, its Syrian affiliate Al-Nusra Front and Shebab militants in Somalia after an FBI sting operation.

Gufran Ahmed Kauser Mohammed, 31, had pleaded not guilty in August when he was indicted, but changed his plea when he made an appearance before US District Judge Ursula Ungaro in Miami.

He will be sentenced on October 24 and faces up to 15 years in prison.

Mohammed was one of two men nabbed in the operation that saw an undercover FBI agent use an Internet chatroom to pretend to help finance al Qaeda and other militant groups in Syria and East Africa.

His co-defendant Mohamed Hussein Said, from Kenya, was charged with Mohammed in a 15-count indictment of conspiring to provide and attempting to provide material support to the three terror groups. Said had served as an intermediary between Mohammed and the Shebab.

Mohammed was arrested in August in Dammam, Saudi Arabia, where he was living with his wife and daughter.

According to the indictment, Mohammed made several transfers of funds to East Africa to help support Shebab fighters in Somalia, before making a transfer to the undercover agent, who was posing as a fundraiser, recruiter and supplier for Al-Nusra.

Mohammed and Said met in Saudi Arabia in May 2011 and Mohammed transferred more than $11,000 to Said from June to September that year, aiming to reach the Shebab.

Mohammed then made a transfer for about $10,000 from June to December 2012 that he thought would reach al Qaeda in Syria, but instead was pocketed by the undercover agent.

The two defendants had also declared their support for al Qaeda and Al-Nusra, including by recruiting and moving experienced Shebab militants to Syria, according to the US Justice Department.

    Obama wants $500 million for Syrian rebels.

    Is Obama providing “material support to al Qaeda, its Syrian affiliate Al-Nusra Front and Shebab militants in Somalia”

      Yes, let’s face it, the USA is better off with the current Syria government than it is with the rebels defeating Assad. The rebels could form an Islamic theocracy that is the enemy of the USA, as Iran is.

    I’m shocked – shocked, I tells ya! – that a “Canadian” moslem who DIDN’T plead guilty, was nevertheless actually found guilty of his terrorism charges, and by a JURY at that!

    Imagine that! A modern, liberal, socialist low-info civilian jury in CANADA, managed to do the right thing! Maybe there is hope for the world after all!

    (And this despite that even the prosecutor was so ignorant of islam that he didn’t even know that by their most official holy rules, one eighth of all money given to muslim “charities” MUST be apportioned and earmarked for violent jihad)!

    Misbahuddin Ahmed was given at least ten years in prison for it yesterday!

    Now that “Misbehavin’ Ahmed” is going away, on to the next members of his wannabe terror-gang, like Kurram Sherr, ex-Canadian Idol contestant! Whee!

    Ah, those wacky jihadis, eh?

    And, as for the BBC, I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again:

    Liberals are racists: they always assume that ONLY White Western people (including, of course, the Jews in Israel,) are INTELLIGENT enough to be guilty of being truly evil, while all their pet “People Of Colour” (including the “swarthy palestinians”) being mentally inferior and all, just can’t help being enslaved by their instincts and emotions into acting as violent animals, the poor oppressed little dears, so the liberals will always indulge their crimes, much as one ignores the new puppy as it pees on the rugs.

    And the enemedia only exists to ask all the wrong quoestions for it’s corporate owners.
