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

Muslims who plotted to behead Pamela Geller readily admitted support for Islamic State

Jun 12, 2015 4:09 pm By Robert Spencer

Usaama Rahim74“The same day, Rovinski, of Warwick, Rhode Island, was interviewed by agents. He said he converted to Islam two years ago, and he changed his name to ‘Nuh Amriki.’ The Islamic State group appealed to him ‘because they represent the most pure and honest form of the religion,’ according to investigators.” Not that this has anything to do with Islam.

“FBI: Men who plotted with Boston terror suspect readily admitted ISIS support,” by Eric Levenson and Allison Manning, Boston Globe, June 12, 2015:

Confronted by FBI agents hours after his uncle was killed by police, David Wright admitted that he was the one who got Usaamah Rahim interested in the terrorism perpetuated by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, according to a complaint filed in federal court this week.

Wright and a second man, Nicholas Rovinski, face charges in federal court with conspiring to provide material support to the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS or ISIL.

They were in on a plan with Rahim to behead anti-Muslim activist Pamela Geller, authorities allege. Both were questioned by agents after Rahim was shot and killed by Boston police and FBI agents outside a Roslindale CVS on June 2.

It’s “anti-Muslim” to stand for the freedom of speech, according to the Boston Globe.

Wright, of Everett, and Rovinski, of Rhode Island, readily admitted their allegiance to the Islamic State group, according to the complaint, which details recorded conversations between the three men.

Wright, 25, has already been charged with conspiracy to destroy evidence. Rovinski, 24, appeared in U.S. District Court on Friday wearing sweatpants, a t-shirt, and slippers.

Both are being held without bail pending a June 19 hearing.

“It’s not true,” said Rovinski’s mother, who also appeared in federal court.

Wright told investigators that he was the one who introduced Rahim, his 26-year-old uncle, to the Islamic State group, according to the FBI agent who wrote thee complaint. The agent said Wright “persuaded (Rahim) that ISIL’s statements were supported by religious scholars and the Koran.”

In a conversation on a rainy Rhode Island beach, according to the agent, the three decided to behead Geller in New York, in order to go along with the Islamic State group’s call for action.

The morning of June 2, Rahim had a change of plans, the agent wrote. He told Wright in a phone call recorded by the FBI that he planned to “go after … those boys in blue,” meaning police officers.

“My goal since when I called you is … I just want to meet Allah,” Rahim told Wright, according to the complaint. “Since Jihad is a way out, and it’s a way to be with Allah.”

Later, Wright asked Rahim again if he had abandoned his earlier plan. “No, it’s going to be local,” Rahim said in the phone call.

“Oh, oh, dang them juicy necks is intense,” Wright responded. “I feel so left out.”

Rahim said he had a clear purpose: “I’ve already gave my Bay’a [allegiance to the Islamic State group] so it’s not a random vigilante attack.”

Before Rahim could do anything, police shot and killed him. They said he lunged at them with a knife in a Roslindale parking lot.

The same day, Rovinski, of Warwick, Rhode Island, was interviewed by agents. He said he converted to Islam two years ago, and he changed his name to “Nuh Amriki.” The Islamic State group appealed to him “because they represent the most pure and honest form of the religion,” according to investigators.

He said he supported violent resistance against “crusader governments,” and he was in favor of the Islamic State group’s well-publicized beheadings, according to the complaint….

    If Pam Geller had stopped insulting Islam we would have never had Al Qaeda, Isis and these angry Muslims. We should take Pam and Robert to court for insulting Islam and put them in Jail and the world would be without one single Moslem problem. Let’s not concentrate our attention to these poor Moslems and Mosques in the US but people like Pam and Robert, problem makers.

    He said he supported violent resistance against “crusader governments,”

    I think it’s worth noticing he was “resisting” a “crusader government” in America, not in some islamic 3rd world hellhole thousands of miles away.

    Now there’s a face — and beard — that only a mother could love.

    And from his mother:

    “It’s not true,” said Rovinski’s mother, who also appeared in federal court.

    Oh of course it’s “not true” because you’re a mohammedan mother, and women like you *never* tell the truth (the truth is completely foreign to her).

    Nicholas Rovinski said that the “Islamic State group appealed to him “because they represent the most pure and honest form of the religion”.

    Do Americans really need convincing that ISIS is Islamic? Many Muslims consider them ‘PURE’ and ‘HONEST’.

    Who knows more about Islam? Muslims? Or John Kerry?

      I don’t know about Kerry, but Joe Biden can tell you a thing or two about Islam…

    I think the FBI agents interviewing these morons ought to be given a medal for overcoming boredom at the sheer idiocy of their recounting. These guys sound as dumb as they look…or, is it the other way around?
