“Savir told the magistrate Cornell wanted to be addressed by his Muslim name, Raheel Mahrus Ubaydah, and to have access to a prayer mat and a clock in jail so he could continue his religious practices.” Yet “the FBI said in court documents filed last week that Cornell planned to ‘wage jihad’ by attacking the Capitol with pipe bombs and shooting government officials and employees.” If Raheel Mahrus Ubaydah planned to wage jihad by committing mass murder, why allow him to strengthen and deepen his commitment to the ideology that incited him to do this? Were Nazi POW’s given copies of Mein Kampf during World War II?
“Grand jury indicts Ohio man held in Capitol terror plot,” by Dan Sewell, Associated Press, January 22, 2015:
CINCINNATI (AP) — A grand jury Wednesday indicted the 20-year-old Ohio man accused of plotting to attack the U.S. Capitol on charges that include attempting to kill federal officials and employees.
The indictment charges Christopher Lee Cornell, of the western Cincinnati suburb of Green Township, with two counts that carry possible sentences upon conviction of up to 20 years each: attempting to kill U.S. officials and employees, and solicitation to commit a crime of violence. He also faces a firearms-related charge.
The indictment returned in Cincinnati alleges that Cornell was attempting to “kill officers and employees of the United States while (they) were engaged in and on account of the performance of their official duties; specifically, by attempting to attack the United States Capitol Building.”
Cornell was arrested outside a gun shop near his home Jan. 14 after the FBI said he bought two M-15 assault weapons and 600 rounds of ammunition. The FBI said in court documents filed last week that Cornell planned to “wage jihad” by attacking the Capitol with pipe bombs and shooting government officials and employees.
He is scheduled for arraignment Thursday.
A message was left Wednesday for his attorney. Cornell’s father, John Cornell, has said his son was coerced and misled by “a snitch” trying to better his own legal situation.
A U.S. magistrate last Friday ordered the young man held without bond, saying he poses a danger to the community.
“The serious nature of the alleged offense and the defendant’s comfort with extreme violence weigh heavily against bond,” Magistrate Stephanie K. Bowman wrote in her order.
Cornell, in handcuffs and leg shackles, spoke softly during the detention hearing to an assistant federal public defender, Karen Savir. Savir told the magistrate Cornell wanted to be addressed by his Muslim name, Raheel Mahrus Ubaydah, and to have access to a prayer mat and a clock in jail so he could continue his religious practices….

Hooray for the indictment! He does not deserve a prayer mat or a clock, or any of the other things he gave up when he chose to plan to attack the US capitol. And he should shave off that beard. It looks unsanitary.
Now let’s hope he’s kept away from other prisoners who might be vulnerable to his crap talk.

The guy was bullied in school for his beard. He’s going to be a prison bitch faster than he can say “allahu akbar”.

Does that make him an anal martyr or an anal jihadi?
Hahahaha.

Why are these fanatics not being charged with treason? Perhaps it’s time DAs started pursuing treason charges so that upon conviction the culprit could get the death penalty… We need to make examples of these monsters.
Western countries need to stop being “good guys.” It’s time for some tough justice.
Georg says
I’m not a huge fan of the death penalty, but I think this is an excellent question. I love how stridently every nutjob who commits a capital offense, including the scumbags we dragged over the Guantanamo, demand x,y, and z. What a privileged time for criminals. Too bad we don’t treat the homeless as well as we do terrorists… smh.

The Koran made me do it ! So as it is written in the Koran, So I follow through on the verses that tell me to kill…anybody….anytime…anywhere….So it is written.

Life Inside (Solitary) ! Off with the Beard ! An Indian Bed of Nails for Prayer Mat and a Sundial in his cell for a Clock !! There that should mend Its ways ??
Salah says
“Savir told the magistrate Cornell wanted to be addressed by his Muslim name, blah..blah..”
I wonder if the magistrate is allowed to use the F word!
Anyway, I agree with all the above posts: We need to reinstall the Death Penalty…AND USE IT.
It’s cheaper, it’s faster, it’s JUSTICE. Terrorists must be executed.
Besides, terrorist groups can’t ask us to release a dead man against some hostages!!
It’s a win win solution.
Harold Lehmann says
Will those who claim that such jihad acts have nothing to do with Islam now protest that he isn’t being allowed to practice his religion?
BC says
Wants a prayer mat and a clock. A though ‘Allah’ bothers himself about his prayers!
Of course Obama et al. would not admit that he is a ‘real muslim’.
Ha Meshuga says
Robert and others, whilst you have these hatemongers in your midst, there will only be blood….

A fellow traveler needs our help desperately. Professor Swain wrote an Op-Ed critical of Islam and she is now being crucified by the PC Vanderbilt community. There are six editorials chastising her. Please take the time to write one or two comments in her support.

Already done. I also wrote her a proper letter.

It appears his parents are whiners too. They couldn’t wait to tell the CNN info babe how they “loved her show and watched her every morning”. The father said “the FBI coerced their son into this behavior”.
Apples falling not so far from the tree. He’ll need that prayer rug for all the kneeling he will be doing in prison.
Hummer says
I’m sure he would like a copy of Mein Kampf since they were collaborators during WWII and Nazis after the war assisted ME countries to carry out their work.

The first name in this article, Savir, is not explained until the final paragraph. I would like to have the person identified the first time the name is used.
Did Muhammad have a clock? I don’t think so. Cornell should make do with what was available to Muhammad. What the courts should do with people who prefer Islam to the Constitution is cancel their US passports and ship them off to Saudi Arabia.

When he was found guilty all his rights should have been revoked. As far as I’m concerned the only thing he should have in his jail cell is a rope.
