His mother said, “They should not entrap young boys.” What would it take to entrap you into trying to murder hundreds, if not thousands, of people? How could you be enticed to do it? Mohamed Mohamud deserves every second of this thirty-year sentence, and should serve it all. The idea that upstanding, patriotic young men can be entrapped into jihad mass murder is beyond absurd.
“Mohamed Mohamud sentenced for 2010 bomb plot,” by Brent Weisberg, KOIN.com, October 1, 2014 (thanks to Ron):
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN 6) — Mohamed Mohamud was sentenced to 30 years in prison for trying to detonate a bomb in Pioneer Courthouse Square during a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in 2010.
Mohamud, now 23, was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison and lifetime supervision after release by Judge Garr M. King in US Federal Court in downtown Portland. Mohamud will receive credit for the four years he spent in custody prior to the sentencing.
Prosecutors wanted a 40 year sentence, while his defense team only wanted 10 years.
Mohamed Mohamud’s mother outside court after he son was sentenced to 30 years in prison, Oct. 1, 2014 (KOIN 6 News)Mohamed Mohamud’s mother outside court after he son was sentenced to 30 years in prison, Oct. 1, 2014 (KOIN 6 News)In a statement outside the courtroom after the sentencing, Mohamed’s mother, Miriam Mohamud, was adamant in her belief the judge’s decision was an “injustice.”
“A government we trust should not do that,” she said. “We contribute to this country, we have never done anything. … They should not entrap young boys.”
She said that she came to the United States with the same dreams other people have.
“We are Muslim and our religion does not teach to kill innocent people,” she said. “The FBI should not tell kids, ‘This is what you should do.’”
His lead lawyer said an appeal is pending due to “significant issues with the case.”
In signaling their intention to appeal the sentencing, his legal team said they believed imperfect entrapment was an issue.
“The whole notion of ‘sting operation’ as it played out in this trial will lead to some significant discussions by our policy makers,” the lawyer said.
“This case began with parents asking for help,” Mohamud’s lawyer said. “Interactions with Mohamud and undercover operatives included instruction…(and authorities) allowed events to proceed to the day after Thanksgiving.”
In her remarks following the sentencing, prosecutor Amanda Marshall said the 30-year sentence sends a strong message to violent extremists.
Mohamud, she said, was in contact with jihadists and Muslim extremists “well before” his father contacted the FBI, Marshall said.
Marshall said she hopes for closure in this case.
“I understand the family’s concern,” she said. “That doesn’t comport itself with the facts presented at trial.”
The case
Then 19, Mohamud was arrested Nov. 26, 2010. As thousands of people packed Pioneer Courthouse Square in downtown, FBI agents were with him as he attempted to detonate a bomb packed inside a van. The FBI said the bomb was inert, and did not pose any threat to the people standing feet away from the vehicle or the 70-foot tree.
Mohamud, prosecutors said, “never hesitated or wavered in his willingness and desire to kill thousands that day.”
Mohamud, prosecutors said, was a “prolific user of extremist Internet websites and social networking forum.” Mohamud posted and wrote on those forums, which prosecutors said was a demonstration of his commitment to “extremist principles.”…
BlueRaven says
A typical Mohamadeian fallacy always has a common thread into it –
“A government we trust should not do that,” his Mother said. “… They should not entrap young boys.” Miriam Mohamud, was adamant in her belief the judge’s decision was an “injustice.”
Facts –
“Then 19, Mohamud was arrested Nov. 26, 2010. As thousands of people packed Pioneer Courthouse Square in downtown, FBI agents were with him as he attempted to detonate a bomb packed inside a van.

Mohamud, prosecutors said, “never hesitated or wavered in his willingness and desire to kill thousands that day.”
Conclusion – anything less than a life is too little for this monster.
john spielman says
after this little beast serves his sentence, he should be deported immediately -along with mummy(if she is till alive)
mariam rove says
His lawyers are correct. he was entrapped. Not by the FBI buy by the evil ideology called Islam. Let’s get real here. M
mortimer says
Right…we must not entrap would-be jihadists…we should wait until AFTER the jihad attacks…do nothing to resist jihad…wait for the jihadists to behead everyone who could stop them…then say “why didn’t someone do something?”
Jihad is an attempt to overthrow the Constitution of the United States…an act of treason. These jihadist traitors should be entrapped and imprisoned.
john spielman says
and then DEPORTED

“We are Muslim and our religion does not teach to kill innocent people,” she said. “
A bald-faced lie. The world’s biggest liars are Muslims.
Tradewinds says
Huh? Who would want to be Muslim and join the loser mass-murder ideology called Islam?
paddy says
i agree
Tradewinds says
Michael is a Muslim. Pay no attention to his absurd remarks.
Beagle says
Mohamed Mohamud? Uh-oh, a Muhammad Coefficient of 2.0 in one person. Not quite as bad as changing one’s name to Jihad Mujahid Shahid, but not a good sign.
Not only could I not be convinced to do such a thing but I would call the FBI as soon as I was out of earshot. Some things can only be a result of a predisposition. This is not like a cash-strapped DeLorean offered a suitcase of money.

“A government we trust should not do that,” she said. “We contribute to this country, we have never done anything. …” she said. “The FBI should not tell kids, ‘This is what you should do.’”
Wow, this woman was taught well as a child, by the quran and imams, such an example of deception in speech.
Brian says
I am sure glad they caught this guy as I am a Portland native but we have plenty more of his kind here. God Bless.
Max Publius says
This so-called mother is another in a series of apologists for their evil offspring. What did the mother of the Oklahoma beheader say to the victim’s family last week? “…there are two sides to every story.”
So was the Boston bombers’ mother in denial. I have to add in the parents of the thug Michael Brown, who can’t accept that they raised a violent thug, and are now flirting with Hamas-CAIR.
These are some sick mothers.

Just your average, run of the mill, brain washed from birth, Muslima.

An injustice is right …yeah I wish that this evil perp could get life behind bars! Once he gets out he’ll undoubtedly do it again and he may even succeed.
voegelinian says
White supremacists are more likely to be pro-Islam. The white supremacist in his cell would only be ill-disposed to him because he’s black.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
With a name like Mohamed Mohamud, this dude had destiny. Trouble is, now he’s got to sit in the boo-foo parlor, the pokey, for a few decades before he gets to porno Moslem heaven Jannat.
… our religion does not teach to kill innocent people,” she said.
Is this true? Can anybody run a fact check on this? I notice that the Pinocchio panel at the WaPo has never weighed in on the truthfulness of Moslems talking that religion of peace stuff.
It is fair to question mom’s motives because she managed to name her son after the Holy Prophet not once but twice in a single name. That’s a damning indictment; let’s throw her ass in jail, too, just for good measure.
Phillipe says
islam is not a religion it is a cult started by a mad man 1400 years ago. Read the history of mohamad, they started out as robbers of caravans in the desert, murdering everyone present if they are not of the same ideology.
