Brooklyn: Three Muslims charged with plotting to join Islamic State, shoot Obama

Feb 25, 2015 1:05 pm By Robert Spencer

Obama“I am in USA now … But is it possible to commit ourselves as dedicated martyrs anyway while here? What I’m saying is, to shoot Obama and then get shot ourselves, will it do? That will strike fear in the hearts of infidels.”

Where did they get the idea to “strike fear in the hearts of infidels”? Everyone knows that this has nothing to do with Islam and all, but could it be from the Qur’an? “Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, including steeds of war, to strike terror into the enemies of Allah and your enemies” (Qur’an 8:60).

“3 Brooklyn residents charged with plotting to help ISIS,” WABC, February 24, 2015:

BROOKLYN (WABC) — The FBI has taken 3 Brooklyn men into custody for allegedly plotting to join ISIS and help the terror group in the U.S. if they could not get overseas.

The suspects will appear in federal court in Downtown Brooklyn this afternoon. The 3 men are charged with providing material support to ISIS.

The men have been identified as Abdurasul Hasanovich Juraboev, 24, a resident of Brooklyn and a citizen of Uzbekistan; Akhror Saidakhmetov, 19, a resident of Brooklyn and a citizen of Kazakhstan; and Abror Habibov, 30, a resident of Brooklyn and a citizen of Uzbekistan.

Officials say Juraboev and Saidakhmetov first came to the attention of law enforcement during the summer of 2014 after they expressed their online support for the establishment by force of an Islamic caliphate in Iraq and Syria.

Saidakhmetov intended to commit acts of terrorism on American soil if they were unable to travel abroad to join ISIS, according to authorities. In an August 2014 posting on an Uzbek-language website that propagates ISIS’s ideology, Juraboev allegedly offered to kill the President of the United States if ordered to do so by ISIS:

“I am in USA now … But is it possible to commit ourselves as dedicated martyrs anyway while here? What I’m saying is, to shoot Obama and then get shot ourselves, will it do? That will strike fear in the hearts of infidels.”

A week later, FBI met with Juraboev twice. He allegedly told them that he believes in ISIS’ terrorist agenda, and that he would like to go to Syria to fight with ISIS “if Allah wills.” He also told them he would harm POTUS if he could, based on president’s role in killing Muslims, his support for Israel, and recent bombings of ISIS. Juraboev allegedly said he didn’t have an imminent plan to harm Obama, but that if anyone within ISIS told him to, he would.

More recently, authorities say Saidakhmetov expressed his intent to buy a machine gun and shoot police officers and FBI agents if thwarted in his plan to join ISIS in Syria.

One of the suspects was arrested at JFK Airport and another was arrested out of state just after midnight. If convicted, each defendant faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison.

    This is propaganda to try to make us think that Obama is on the side of Americans. Only we already know that Obama is a Muslim who supports ISIS and gives them our hard earned US dollars. This is a weak attempt to try to gain sympathy for Obama!

    Why do keep IMPORTING Muslims into the USA and Canada? After 9/11 it should have been very clear. NO MORE IMMIGRATION FROM ISLAMIC COUNTRIES, and no immigration of Muslims from Western countries…we are only asking to be hit in another terrorist attack.

    Planning and plotting to shoot policemen, FBI agents and the president from within the US?

    Why is the USA importing terrorists from Somalia and Uzbekistan?

    Isn’t it wiser to stop all Muslim immigration because of the jihad/terror/genocide doctrine intrinsic to Mohammedanism?

America, UK, Australia, etc are stupid for funding terrorists with our own money.

    If Islamic terrorists were to kill Obama they would be getting rid of the best friend they could ever possibly hope to have residing in the White House. Also, these men are a good argument for allowing anyone to go to the Islamic State if that is what they want. Just make it illegal for them ever to return once they have left and joined an enemy of the United States.

    Obama is a (secret) Muslim so this is just more of the same old Muslim-on-Muslim violence that now plagues even America

    Like it was not enough that the secret Muslim supports gay and women’s rights, drinks beer, has a dog, boycotts Durban 2 and any anti-Israel resolution at the UN, kills ben Laden and sends drones on a weekly basis to kill jihadis, bombs the Islamic state, has a wife who refused to wear a headress in Saudi, goes to Church and call Christ his savior etc.

    sweet, sweet taqqiya, well done Obama

        fair enough but when is he finally going to implement shariah law in the US? the gay rights/women’s rights stuff is all well and good as a cover/diversion but isn’t it about time for some shariah law as well since that was the overarching purpose of gaining the presidency?

        In six years, not a single hand was cut off in the US

        • CogitoErgoSum says

          Feb 25, 2015 at 7:38 pm

          Cutting off hands would be too obvious, wouldn’t it? Also, there are still almost two years to go. I can’t get past the speech where he kept referring to the Quran as “holy.” Really? A Christian calling the Quran holy?

          Actually, I think Obama is either an atheist or an agnostic. To him, one religion is just like another. That’s a belief that is just not true. Religions differ. Some are good and some are bad. I don’t care if he is an atheist or agnostic. I would admire him more if would come out and just admit it. I also wish he would stop covering for Islam and tell the truth about it. The “good” Muslims are the ones who don’t follow the Quran too closely. The “perverted” Muslims are the one who do follow the Quran as closely as possible. I just wish he would tell the truth.

        • TheBuffster says

          Feb 25, 2015 at 8:46 pm

          Yes, I think Obama is probably an atheist or an agnostic and lied in order not to put off the voters.

          And he’s in that multiculti PC bubble that so many leftists inhabit, but with more affection for the shell of the Islamic religion of his father and stepfather than you usually find in American politicians.

          I think he is a superficial kind of guy who believes “deeply” in a false, superficial political ideology. And even if he wanted to now, he couldn’t go back on it before the world. He’s going to just keep on keeping on until his comfortable retirement.

    Feb 25, 2015 at 7:31 pm

    The Presidents life must be protected at all cost. Obama was chosen by the American People whereas his fanatical foe have no mandate whatsoever. Furthermore, Barack Obama is in a unique position, as an Apostate from Islam, to focus attention on the basic human rights of Apostates in particular their right to life and limb and to thereby help humanise the practice of Islam in the 21st Century.

  21. TheBuffster says

    Feb 25, 2015 at 8:30 pm

    I disagree that Islam is not a religion. It is a religion that has a political doctrine and a supremacist holy war command. To me, if it’s got a god allegedly laying down the commands, it’s a religion – it doesn’t have to be good, benevolent or restricted to the spiritual realm alone.

    However, the only part of Islam that could be protected by the US Constitution is the spiritual part – personal belief, prayer, anything that doesn’t violate other people’s rights. Any part that requires the violation of citizen’s rights or plotting to bring down a free, democratic government doesn’t have protection.

    We don’t have to say Islam isn’t a religion in order to protect ourselves from it. We just have to make our government do its job regarding our rights and our national security.

    We don’t let Christian Scientists refuse their children necessary medical treatment simply because their beliefs tell them to trust in God’s will. When some part of a religion steps beyond the constitutional protections of individual rights, that part of the religion is against the law. Individual rights trump the tenets of any religion.

    Whatever happened to the “peaceful, tolerant” post-Soviet Muslims, who were meant to be so different to everyone else?

    And just a couple of weeks ago, at a mass in Warsaw, Poland, a priest visiting from Kazakhstan spoke. In Kazakhstan, tthey hold masses in a private flat, as there is no church. In spite of the area having a significant Catholic population for many decades, authorities have yet to grant permission for even a small church (the nearest is a few hundred km away). Yet if permission for a (Muslim Brotherhood-linked) mosque is denied in a Western country, liberal groups go up in arms – it’s the end of the world as we know it…

    AG nominee Lynch (Holder in a skirt) in charge. What’s chance these 3 doofi rounded up amid “story” manufactured to make Lynch appear heroic re her confirmation as AG. “Incidents” of creative intent occur daily. Should this one be seen as any different? Watch coming news and events for use in promotion of Lynch. Pudding holds the truth.

    Feb 26, 2015 at 5:21 am

    Why must it be either a religion or a political doctrine? Why can’t it be both?

    Islam looks more like our usual understanding of a religion than say, Buddhism in which you’d be hard put to find anything like a god or gods. It’s just an evil one.

    Two words to illustrate the disaster should Obama ever be assassinated. Joe Biden

    • TheBuffster says

      Feb 26, 2015 at 10:39 pm

      It only just occurred to me that maybe that’s why Joe Biden was chosen as VP for this particular president.

      When you want to be most effective at bringing “fundamental change” to America, put up a charismatic black man as president – knowing that, really, Americans are eager to prove they aren’t racist and eager to fulfil the romance of the first African-American president, and that once he’s in you can pull out the race card whenever his leftist agenda is on the table.

      This looks like a most effective strategy for pushing through the most radical leftist agenda possible in the USA, but since the population of the USA is not in favour of that agenda, and you know that once the guy is elected and his plans start rolling out, people are going to be beside themselves, wanting the guy out of there, you back him up with a VP that is so appallingly stupid, any potential assassin would throw down his weapon and weep in frustration, foiled by the dreaded alternative.

    Seems ISIL and the Koran are inspiring a new breed of jihadis, ISLAMIC SERIAL KILLERS.
