“Al-Qaeda’s PR man in Denmark” loses his Danish citizenship

Jul 1, 2015 2:57 pm By Robert Spencer

Sam MansourCommon sense — certain to be widely denounced as “Islamophobic.”

“Convicted terrorist loses Danish citizenship,” The Local, July 1, 2015 (thanks to Lookmann):

Sam Mansour, who has been dubbed ‘The Bookseller from Brønshøj’ and ‘al-Qaeda’s PR man in Denmark’, on Wednesday became the first ever Dane to have his citizenship revoked for illegal activity.

The Eastern High Court on Wednesday sentenced Sam Mansour to four years in prison and expulsion from the country with no chance to return.

The revocation of his Danish citizenship is historic, as never before has a Dane had ties severed to the country for violations of the law.

The 55-year-old Danish-Moroccan was convicted for posting online threats, screeds, photos, links and messages that praise Osama bin Laden and call on his readers to join al-Qaeda’s al-Nusra front. Mansour has also posted videos of soldiers being executed in Syria and Iraq.

Additionally, he was convicted on charges related to the editing and publishing of three books considered to be terrorist propaganda.

The Danish press dubbed Mansour ‘The Bookseller from Brønshøj’ and he has also been viewed as a de facto ‘PR man’ for the terror group al-Qaeda.

This is Mansour’s second conviction on terror charges. In 2007, he became the first person in Danish history to be convicted of inciting terrorism. He served 3.5 years in prison on the previous conviction but unlike in Wednesday’s decision, prosecutors failed to convince the court to strip Mansour of his citizenship.

Mansour is originally from Morocco but has lived in Denmark since 1984 and has been a Danish citizen since 1988.

According to TV2, Morocco wants him returned there, which Mansour said will put him in danger.

“I will be executed,” TV2 quotes him as having previously said about a return to Morocco.

      If they can do it, so can other countries.
      But will the EU stick its oar in?

      Someone should ask the Danish people: “Do you want more or less Moroccans?

    The fact that this Muslim miscreant fears death in an Islamic country but not at all in a Western nation like Denmark speaks volumes about where a riveting truth lies respecting what constitutes the Western world and what makes up the Islamic world. No Muslim gets this, even the most benign of them, because if any Muslim truly “got” this they would cease being a Muslim. And sadly, stupidly too, many Westerners don’t get this either and so many of them never will.

      One of the best observations, on this specific point, discussed in your comment above, and it’s so true!

      what an absurd and sick world we’re living in, today!

    • Wellington says

      Jul 1, 2015 at 6:29 pm

      It is, ich, the home of the cowboy but only if you are on the right side of the political spectrum (and sometimes not even then anymore since so many on the right have lost their guts). As for the left side of the political spectrum, it is wrapped up in anti-Americanism extensively, even though some leftists would cluelessly and/or deceitfully deny this (e.g., Obama himself).

      What is really occurring is that America infused by the Judeo-Christian ideal and with concepts of true liberty is, quite sadly, being replaced by an America infused with leftism and with an emphasis on equality, not only in the law (where it should be), but equality across the board, including equality of results, all of which is highly destructive of traditional America and real liberty.

      In microcosm, look at the New Hampshire state motto for confirmation here of what I have asserted. It reads, “Live Free Or Die.” This motto represents traditional America quite well. By contrast, could clueless leftists (excuse the redundancy) have their way in changing the NH motto, it would read in effect “Live Equal or Whine.”

      It is a tragedy in the making and leftists aplenty like Obama, and Muslims across the board, are both on board with destroying the greatest polity with the greatest ideas ever developed by man. Ah, Polybius’s cyclical view of history is looking more and more valid by the year, courtesy of all those who want no more of traditional America, whatever the erroneous reason.

        “…being replaced by an America infused with leftism and with an emphasis on equality, not only in the law (where it should be), but equality across the board, including equality of results, all of which is highly destructive of traditional America and real liberty.”

        And the sick irony is that the leftists are pushing for equal rights for an ideology that advocates the killing of Jews, gays and subjugation of women (which includes ritual mutilation of their genitals), and that is just scratching the surface.

        To hell with human-rights. Medieval Islam needs to enjoy equality.

    Would his execution not be death in jihad? Surely, someone just needs to remind him how much he loves death, and how he should be looking forward to paradise with 72 houris to keep him entertained. His faith seems weak! Perhaps Denmark can simply announce that he will soon be “in a better place.”

    Oh well, here’s what I have tried to post in the thread about the Italian woman who converted to Islam:

    She persuaded her mother and father to convert (under her terms that ISIS represents the full flower of Islam). Her older sister had converted before she did, apparently.

    The aforementioned Italian paper Milano Today offers some additional interesting information:

    [QUOTE]

    Who is Fatima (Maria Giulia Sergio), the Italian terrorist of ISIS?

    For months, Maria Giulia Sergio was suspected of having been inducted into the ranks of the Islamic State in Syria. Her mother, Assunta Bonfiglio (arrested July 1 by Italian counter-terrorism law enforcement), had been defending her, claiming that she actually didn’t know where she was and assuring everyone that she [her daughter Fatima] “is a good person, and that there is no terrorist behind the veil”.

    Orginally from Torre del Greco [near Naples], the Sergio family moved to Inzago, in the province of Milan, in the middle of the year 2000.

    Rather quickly, the family converted to Islam: first the older sister of Maria Giulia [Fatima], then she and their mother.

    Maria Giulia in particular, newly named Fatima, married a Moroccan in Inzago who left her, then she married a second time, to a young Albanian (during which time she sought ways to convince her parents to leave…).

    In 2009, Fatima appeared on TV in “Pomeriggio Cinque” where she had a confrontation with Alessandra Mussolini on the subject of women and Islam. On that occasion, among other things, the former [Fatima] affirmed that women ought not to put on clothes which could excite men.

    The trip to Syria would have been effected through the province of Grosseto, Rome, and Istanbul, then overland. The conversion of the entire family has been toward an extremely radical vision of the Islamic religion [readers may ignore this obligatory PC MC spasm by reporters & editors who might as well be Stardusty Psyche]. The last of the family to convert, in 2013, was Sergio Sergio, Fatima’s father.

    [END QUOTE]
    http://www.milanotoday.it/cronaca/fatima-maria-giulia-sergio-terrorista-isis.html

    A related story has a few other details: Fatima is 28. She became inducted into ISIS along with her second husband, Aldo Kobuzi, the Albanian Muslim [the story later informs us that in addition, Aldo had a brother who had become a “martyr”].

    She spent years trying to convert her family through urging, and finally did – her mother, older sister, and father all eventually converted.

    Not only her Albanian husband (Aldo Kobuzi), but also his Muslim parents were in on it, as well as two friends of Aldo Kobuzi and a Canadian (all Muslim, of course). At some point, while her husband Aldo Kobuzi went in for more intensive training somewhere between the Tigris and the Euphrates, she went back to try to solidify the Islamization of her parents. They decided to join the Caliphate in the middle of March, and a few months later were prepared to go to Syria along the same route their daughter had taken back in September.

    When she and Aldo had first gone to join ISIS back in September, they were put into contact with a peron whose role (according to the investigators of the Italian anti-terrorism) was very important: essentially his job was to sort out the incoming “foreign fighters”. Each would be assigned a region and a precise function.

    The reason I typed “test DIGOS” above was because repeatedly, I was unable to post my long comment on the Italian Muslima in the thread pertinent to it. I thought at first it was because it had links in it, so I tried deleting them, and that did not help; it still would not publish and I kept getting that “Sicuri” error message.

    Then, just out of the blue, I thought I would delete the references to the Italian intelligence organization, “DIGOS” (my comment only contained two references) — and lo and behold, my comment was published just fine (in the thread pertinent to it)!

    I did some reading about Said (Sam) Mansour sourcing internet articles, unfortunately, not always reliably truthful. I learned Sam has lots of family in Denmark, and he doesn’t want to leave them, claiming it would be a hardship for them. He also is a citizen of Morocco, in addition to being a Danish citizen, which he was granted in 1988 when he was about 28 years old. (No history of criminal activity was cited in Morocco.) So why does he claim Morocco will execute him? My guess is because he wants to take advantage of a Danish law that states a person could live in Denmark indefinitely even if their citizenship was been taken away, if there are circumstances that warrant this ruling! So, in my opinion, Sam is as phony as a $3 bill. Score- Terror: 1, Freedom: 0.

    Mansour; “You can’t send me back to Morocco, I’ll be executed!”

    Among “previous convictions” was one for having fondled a 12-year old girl, most definitely against her will.
    His faithful followers apparently blinked once or twice when this was brought forward during the recent trial, but mainly because it was mentioned at all.

    Obama, Shillary and the left will never go for this as they view it as cruel and Islamophobic. Good for the Danes for taking away the citizenship of traitorous Islamic jihadists who want to kill the infidels. We need to do this in the USA!

    You’ll be executed? I hope that your ass makes it to Morocco so that you will be executed. ALL terrorism related activities deserve nothing less than a death sentence.
