Jihad Watch

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

Florida Muslim had letter that talked about “uniting a Muslim army under one flag to wage Islamic war”

Jan 2, 2015 6:55 pm By Robert Spencer

qazi-brosI trust that John Kerry or Joe Biden is on his way to Broward County to explain to Sheheryar Alam Qazi and Raees Alam Qazi how they’re misunderstanding the Religion of Peace.

“Accused Oakland Park Terrorist’s Phone Conversations Can Be Used as Evidence, Feds Say,” by Chris Joseph, BrowardPalmBeach.com, January 2, 2015:

Oakland Park brothers Sheheryar Alam Qazi, and Raees Alam Qazi are set to go on trial this year on terrorism charges, and prosecutors are planning to use secretly recorded phone calls between one of the men and his wife as evidence against them.

The defense says that the phone conversations were obtained in violation of the marital confidential communications privilege, and therefore shouldn’t be allowed.

The Pakistani-born brothers have been charged by the FBI with conspiring to explode a weapon of mass destruction in the United States. They pleaded not guilty at a hearing in federal court in Fort Lauderdale in 2013.

The younger of the two, 22-year-old Raees, was charged by the FBI with conspiring to funnel “material support” to terrorists planning to explode a weapon of mass destruction somewhere in the United State. Raees allegedly planned to either blow himself up or detonate a bomb in New York that would cause massive casualties, according to federal prosecutors. Older brother Sheheryar, 32, financially supported Raees’ alleged plot.

According to court filings, Sheheryar and his wife’s phone conversations were wire-tapped between August and September of 2012. The calls include the couple discussing younger brother’s lack of income for their alleged plot, where the wife — whose name has not been made public — told her husband that his younger brother should get a job, particularly to help pay the bills at the couple’s home.

The wife complains that Raees should pay his own way, even in matters of trying to commit a terrorist act.

“Even if he is going for Jihad,” one of the conversations go, via the Sun-Sentinel, “Even so, he needs to do some hard work. He should not ask others for help … One should pay for one’s own expenses.”

She also apparently gave Sheheryar direction on how to encourage Raees to get off his lazy terrorist butt and get a job.

“Tell him, ‘You do a job’,” she says in one of the phone conversations. “Earning here is written into his destiny by God.”

Apparently, not getting a job was just one of the sort of clumsy way Raees went about trying to make Jihad on America.

While scouting locations to bomb in New York, Raees apparently read an al-Qaeda online magazine article titled “Make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom.”

Qazi also reportedly told authorities that he came to Broward to “practice” for a bombing and to build an explosive device. But the device failed.

In 2012, New Times reported that the brothers peddled an X-Box, a random assortment of videogames, and bicycles on Craigslist back in April 2010.

But the feds point to a troubled man in Raees, one who was ready to take his own life and possibly others as well in the process.

According to one phone call, Sheheryar tells his wife of a letter Raees showed him on his computer that talked about Osama bin Laden “uniting a Muslim army under one flag to wage Islamic war.”

“In a way, he has given up on himself,” Sheheryar tells his wife. “That is why he does not try to get … a permanent job so that, ‘I don’t get too tied up with something else and forget about God’s work.'”

Prosecutors point to the comments made about not getting a permanent job, and the line “God’s work,” as evidence that Raees was planning to do something that would harm or kill Americans. They also say that Sheheryar and his wife knew of Raees’ plans to commit a terrorist act, and that Sheheryar helped him financially to do so….

    Broward is not the cheapest area in which to live…wonder what the older brother was doing to support himself and his wife and to give the younger one jihad funding money?
    Jail visitors are warned that their conversations will be recorded and monitored…all except for the attorney and client…but the attorney tries the husband/wife thing anyway…as though she is being *forced* to testify against him.
    Wondering, too, if she is native to here or if she came from their country.

      I’ll correct my comment….recorded, but not from jail as I first thought. Must have been home and elsewhere speaking to each other. Wire taps get anybody when they are allowed to happen.

    The wife complains that Raees should pay his own way, even in matters of trying to commit a terrorist act.

    “Even if he is going for Jihad,” one of the conversations go, via the Sun-Sentinel, “Even so, he needs to do some hard work. He should not ask others for help … One should pay for one’s own expenses.”

    See, this is what happens when they can’t get their jizya and are unable to grab a sword and steal from non-muslims: the poor kid was so oppressed he had to sponge off his brother rather. Can you imagine it was either that or work for a living and paying taxes to the kuffar? Oh, the humanity!

    But the feds point to a troubled man in Raees, one who was ready to take his own life and possibly others as well in the process.

    There are plenty of perturbed people who are ready to take their own lives. Some even take others with them. But someone going jihadi isn’t the same as someone going postal. And the sooner the average joe understands that, the better – the MSM seems to be a lost cause.

    According to one phone call, Sheheryar tells his wife of a letter Raees showed him on his computer that talked about Osama bin Laden “uniting a Muslim army under one flag to wage Islamic war.”

    Don’t worry, I’m sure that soon we’ll have McCain here explaining us how what Raees meant was that Obama wasn’t uniting a muslim army or waging an islamic war.

    The mental illness detector went off while I was reading. The needle swung to ‘Allahphrenia’.

    “Earning here is written into his destiny by God.”

    Predestination…Written by the Pen of Destiny… and it is most likely correct because there is a small wage for prison laundry work or making license plates.
    Allah is very wise…he thinks of everything.

    Robert I’ve tried numerous times to share this article on google+. Each time I attempt to I get an error message from safari saying a report will be sent to apple with the details to help resolve future issues. I know for a fact there is not a problem with my browser. I think I’m being censored from posting certain articles pertaining to the united states from your site. Just thought you should know.
