“The defendants violated the true tenants of their faith in pursuit of their radical, violent agenda,” said FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge Diego Rodriguez. They violated some tenants? So apparently they are landlords? Have they been charged with rape?
Seriously, what difference does it make if an FBI agent doesn’t know tenants from tenets? He’s paid to catch criminals, not to be a grammarian. But he isn’t paid to be an Islamic scholar or jurist, either, and it is a dismal sign of our stupid times that he thinks it necessary to stipulate that these three jihadis violated the tenets of Islam. He should be studying their beliefs so as to comprehend the jihadis and catch other jihadis more easily, not mouthing politically correct falsehoods that demonstrate that he has no clue as to the motives and goals of the people he has just apprehended despite his refusal (ordered from on high, of course) to understand them.
“Three Brooklyn Residents Charged with Attempt and Conspiracy to Provide Material Support to ISIL,” FBI, February 25, 2015:
Earlier today, a criminal complaint was unsealed in federal court in Brooklyn charging Abdurasul Hasanovich Juraboev, Akhror Saidakhmetov, and Abror Habibov with attempt and conspiracy to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), a foreign terrorist organization. The initial appearances of Juraboev and Saidakhmetov are scheduled for later today before United States Magistrate Judge Lois Bloom at the U.S. Courthouse, 225 Cadman Plaza East, Brooklyn, New York. Habibov’s initial appearance will be held later today at the U.S. Courthouse, 300 North Hogan Street, Jacksonville, Florida.
The charges were announced by Loretta E. Lynch, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York; John P. Carlin, Assistant Attorney General for National Security; Diego G. Rodriguez, Assistant Director-in-Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), New York Field Office; and William J. Bratton, Commissioner, New York City Police Department (NYPD)….
“As alleged, the defendants looked to join the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant by flying to Turkey in a vain attempt to evade detection. And one of the defendants was prepared to commit acts of terror here—in America—if he could not travel, to include killing FBI agents. The defendants violated the true tenants of their faith in pursuit of their radical, violent agenda. We rely on help from the community, the public, and religious leaders to be mindful of those who could be radicalized. We cannot do this alone,” said FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge Rodriguez….
Jaladhi says
Nowadays, we have all kinds of experts on Islam who are telling us that jihadis are violating”true tenets” of Islam!! This is especially so for the government bodies – what is going on here? Looks like a concerted effort by our government not to displease their Saudi/Muslim masters or else!! Have these guys ever read Quran that they are going out and authoritatively passing judgement to fool the American people!!

Hi Champ, Excellent resource (Islam 101). All should be wary when our government promulgates Islam as they do each day. Must read “Islam 101”. 🙂
mortimer says
Diego Rodriguez was let down by Obama who forbid the study of the jihad doctrine.
Jihad is the ‘original Islam’ according to Mohammed. Mohammed is the authority on Islam.
Diego Rodriguez needs to take a crash course in the psychology and doctrine of jihad. He needs to learn about jihad regardless of what Obama says so he can adequately do his job.
Jihad is an individual duty and a community duty in Islam.
Bettina says
Looks like our ruling idiots need to regress 2.5 centuries to learn about these tenets:
In 1736, French philosopher Voltaire wrote a play, “Mahomet the Prophet,” which Wikipedia calls “a study of religious fanaticism and self-serving manipulation based on an episode in the traditional biography of Muhammad in which he orders the murder of his critics.
Voltaire described the play as “written in opposition to the founder of a false and barbarous sect”.
TAKE THAT, OBOZO and your minions!

“…what is going on here?”
We are looking at the reforming of a Nazi kind of government except that this time they have a common cult (Islam) to use. If the “big lie” of the Nazis had been backed up by a common accepted cult, we might all be speaking German today. Today’s “big lie” is pounded daily into everyone’s head by MSM and left wing government leaders (including this FBI leader) just as the left wing Third Reich did. The order of the day is “Nothing here to see, move on”. Islam is a peaceful religion, blah, blah, blah. This was not a terrorist attack, blah, blah, blah.
Please also note that our left wing government has broken off with Israel and Jews in general while left wing academia ridicules Jewish students. Christians are next in line for the same treatment.

The real crime for Obama is slandering Islam, not planning Jihad.
dlbrand says
Obama is guilty of the crime of Al-Fuja’ah, whom, as Islamic history relates, asked of Abu Bakr–in other words, of Muslims–horses and arms, then gathered up a force of “a large body of men,” and then came against the Islamic State, killing Muslims and apostates alike.
For his stated offences, as Islamic history and sira relate, al-Fuja’ah was “put to the fire,” “burned in the neighborhood of al-Mussala [place of prayer].” (Baladhuri, Kitab Futah al-Buldan, Translated, P.149; Tabari.)
jaazee1 says
Listen to some of the comments coming from the Pentagon, from U.S. Military; Listen to the comments by FBI Leadership, and you pray. You pray that not ALL have been radicalized.
We seem to be at the beginning of Obama’s “end-game” over the next 1-2 years. I look at my beautiful grandson and swear he will not lose his future to a radical leftist with a philosophy based on communist, socialist principles.
RonaldB says
“We rely on help from the community, the public, and religious leaders to be mindful of those who could be radicalized. We cannot do this alone,” said FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge Rodriguez”
Well, did they have help from other Muslims on this case or did they not?
Angemon says
Everyone is an expert on islam. Except those people who read the quran, sira and ahadith and realize that islam has a doctrine of warfare against non-believers AND announce their finding out loud AND are against it. Those are just “islamophobes”.
BTW, what would their “radical, violent agenda” be?
Peter says
The administration should rename the FBI the Federal Bureau of Islamization (or Ignorance or Incompetence).

Peter says: “The administration should rename the FBI the Federal Bureau of Islamization (or Ignorance or Incompetence).”
Indeed.

“ ‘They violated some tenants?’ ” Asserted Rodriquez.
Indeed, these Muslims, they know no shame. My heart goes out to the violated tenants; I’m betting, these Muslim took not only the honor of the said tenants, but their bikes and skateboards to boot.
But violated tenants aside, these three good Muslims have clearly noted the Islam of the “Noble” Sahabah matches the Islam of Islamic State.
Which is the Islam the scholars have agreed–for the on-the-record-bearing years of Islam, as passed down from generation to successive generation, only after careful and Allah-fearing evaluation and verification of that stated and clarified in the foundations of Islamic knowledge, thus, the consensus of the learned, and so asserted in regarded work after work—is the Islam of the “prophet.”
Nonetheless, I don’t believe we are allowed to say that anymore, are we?
Seems, since last week’s Anti-Extremist luncheon party, stating reality on Islam has been declared a no-go zone. Giving aid, comfort, and legitimization to the enemy.
As is if IS needed that from us—IS get’s from Islam and Islam’s Allah all the aid, comfort, and legitimization they well ever need.
They may want for more (“legitimization” rendered from the onlookers); but as for Islamic legitimization they NEED, as Islamic fighters, flag, and banner barriers of the Caliphate, thereto, Islam’s “sacred texts” provide them with fathoms of legitimization, sufficient to both bath and swim in.
On their side, leading the way, flanking them left and right and bringing up the rear, is Istiqama (“being straight, putting into practice the Sunna of the Prophet “[A. Bewely, Glossary]. A practice to which adherence to it, their “sacred texts” demand is the duty of every Muslim; and provides, only in adherence to that practice, will they know Paradise, avoid Hell-fire.
Hence the action of three of today’s featured jihadists, “the Landlords,” the alleged tenant-violators.
Lesley says
Oh, if only the only ignorant mistake in this article was the grammatical one. I could deal with the misuse of ‘tenants’ in place of ‘tenets’ if the FBI weren’t drowning in delusion.
The grammatical error added to the top of the absolute denial of the clear and present danger is very, very depressing >:-(
Bettina says
More like, in my view, the FBI is drowning in shrieking dissonance between the facts of worldwide jihad and the word from high above to negate the truth and cover it up with the right PC/MC lingo, or else — loss of jobs? loss of life?
Big Brother is alive and well, isn’t he? And double-think must result in double-speak, or else…

Acting against Islam will result in a fatwa against you so how come all these Muslims aren’t chased by other “true Muslims” and killed because they misrepresented Islam, therefore insulting it?
dlbrand says
No fatwa means as much as diddly if it is at odds with the command to obey and follow Allah’s Messenger and thus, his sunnah, and thus the same of the Rightly Guided Caliphs; and that, the scholars, soldiers, citizens, and patrons of Islamic State are follow to the letter.
Bettina says
Peggy, the only reason I can see is that ALL muslims tremble in fear of each other, knowing as they do the barbarity promoted by their religion.
For a muslim in the muslim world, to live is to fear. You never know who is going to spy on you and your family.
Maybe that’s why, for a change of pace, they turn the threat toward the West.
Wellington says
The Great Pretend Game (GPG) continues, this time courtesy of the FBI. Next time who knows who it will be courtesy of, but that there will be many next times is a guarantee because right now Western elites en masse continue to function in full stupid mode.

traci94 says
I am so tired of people making excuses for all of these Muslims committing crimes and saying it has nothing to do with Islam. It’s funny how all of these people all over the world are “misinterpreting” their faith in the EXACT SAME WAY!
dlbrand says
Indeed, in the same way that the revered scholars, generation after generation, “misinterpreted” the tenets of their faith, because it is how Allah and his messenger “misinterpreted” the tenets of their faith. Hence the noted mirrored action.
PJG says
It would apppear, with all the misunderstanding going on, that the Prophet himself probably misunderstood Allah. And it’s anybody’s guess who Allah misunderstood!
Peggy says
True believers kill the the ones who are not so how come “true Islam” is not going after these murderers? How many Imama have declared open season on them for that? My guess is none.

Geez, I hate my typing. Meant to ask How many Imams not imama.

I am feeling safer and safer every day under Obama administration’s great understanding of Islam. They know how to identify the cause of the Jihadi problem and how to catch those terrorists. I will sleep better tonite with these expers of Islam in FBI and other security forces and military.
Michael Nollet says
I’m more interested in he “true tenants” remark.
If there are “true tenants,” then doesn’t it follow that there must also be some false ones? And who would these false tenants be? Squatters?
So, lessee… This cretinous Special Agent in Charge is saying that the jihadists “violated the “true tenants” of their faith. I guess this means that he’s saying that they raped the legitimate tenants and left the squatters alone.
Beagle says
I have sympathy for the spelling error, but contempt for investigating jihad and not knowing the most basic concepts.
On the other hand, since 2011 stupidity is official policy. Thanks again Spencer Akerman, Obama, and Muslim Brotherhood infiltrators.
Xero_G says
“True” Islam is not what is described in detail in the Muslim’s holy scriptures. “True” Islam is not what the founder (and creator) of Islam taught and demonstrated by example. “True” Islam is not what the empirical evidence throughout world history indicates.
“True” Islam is what the apologists, leftists, PC politicians and clueless “authorities” imagine in their beautiful world of unicorns and rainbows.
Paul 2 says
Ultimately, true Islam is empirical: what matters is what its followers contribute to the world. On that basis, it appears that true Islam remains an awful and barbaric concept.

True, Salah. We all need to learn about Islam. There is still much ignorance, but it is fading fast. The only way we can really avert disaster is by telling people who don’t know what the true tenants (LOL!) of Islam is all about. I’m doing my best to educate people as I’m sure everyone else on this site is too.

mach37 says
No government agency should judge criminals by their religion (First Amendment) or how true to their faith they are. What MUST be done is to study the Koran and determine if it qualifies for protection under the First Amendment. I don’t see how any intelligent person who understands English can come to any conclusion other than the TENETS of Islam are to discriminate against and eliminate all other religions.
vlparker says
I hear people on TV and the radio say tenants all the time when they mean tenets. People that make their living in the media and don’t know the English language. O’Reilly has his word of the day. Maybe he should study them more. I’ve heard him say mischievious on a couple of occasions. Four syllable miss-chee-vee- us. There is no such word. It is 3 syllables mischievous.
Limbaugh always says heighth. There is also no such word. The word is height. There is no h on the end.
And people that say nucular instead of nuclear drive me crazy and they are many. New-clee- er. It is not that hard to pronounce. Don’t aks me why they have trouble saying it.
And you’re right, a few mispronounced words aren’t going to destroy the Republic. But their willful stupidity in order to be politically correct is going to destroy the Republic. I say it is beyond willful ignorance now. It is willful stupidity.
The FBI need to deep six the PC BS and start protecting this country from the jihadist invasion. But they won’t. It will probably take some major disaster to some very important personage before they will awaken from their Rip Van Winkle slumber. I doubt even that would do it.
The suicide of Britain is discouraging to behold. This leftist masochism because of the sins of their ancestors is a psychological phenomenon that appalls and fascinates me at the same time. Their guilt over the colonialism of their ancestors is so strong they seem to think they must pay a price for it by being themselves the victims of tyranny and oppression. And the jihadists are all too happy to oblige them.

Supposedly, the United States of America–at least in its executive branch– is now under the governance of the party of intelligence, rationality, science, education, and intercultural sensitivity. You know, the folks who call themselves “Brights”. This may be why a lowly law enforcement functionary somewhere in the USA who has never read a line of the Qur’an “knows” Islam better than the entire faculties of al-Azhar and Qom put together. Or it may be why we are so ignorant we don’t even know our own language anymore. Or both.

Sorry, I was mistaken. Mr. Rodriguez is not a Muslim. He does not apparently understand Isslam when he claims that the Muslim men arrested acted contrary to the tenets of their faith. They acted in accord with the tenets of Islam.
