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

Boston jihadi praises Islamic State for “implementing Sharia”

Jul 15, 2015 6:53 pm By Robert Spencer

Where did this convert to Islam get the idea that what the Islamic State was doing was consistent with Islam and Sharia, when Muslim and non-Muslim authorities in the U.S. insist that is not the case? Is anyone curious about that, or do they just wave away the question by insisting that he was “radicalized on the Internet”?

“Alexander Ciccolo, ISIS-Inspired Son of Boston Cop, Praises Terrorist Organization,” by Garrett Quinn, Boston Magazine, July 15, 2015:

The son of a Boston Police captain with alleged sympathies for the apocalyptic Islamic terrorist death cult ISIS is being held in a federal detention facility until his trial begins.

Alexander Ciccolo, 23, of Adams, was one several individuals arrested by the FBI during a counterterrorism sting over the July 4 weekend. Ciccolo allegedly plotted to attack a college campus with a pressure cooker bomb and small arms. Ciccolo was given two rifles and two handguns for the attack for free by a cooperating witness working with the FBI.

During his detention hearing prosecutors played a video of Ciccolo speaking highly of ISIS during an interview with the FBI after his arrest on gun charges.

“Are they doing a good thing?” asks the unidentified person off camera.

“Yeah, yeah they are,” answers Ciccolo.

Ciccolo said they’re doing “good” things like “implementing sharia, freeing people from oppression, wherever they go they’re changing things.”

In the 8 minute and 30 second video Ciccolo went even further, defending the executions by ISIS and declaring reports about them killing women and children as lies. He said people killed by ISIS were either criminals or standing in the way of the implementation of sharia law….

      They sure are a misogynistic bunch of angry pretending-to-be-men evil people.

    But remember: the official story is that he wanted to kill people because he has mental issues…

    By “freeing people from oppression” he means releasing them from our man-made laws and implementing sharia law – the idea behind it is that our leaders and rulers know that islam is the one true religion and they’re oppressing their people by not enforcing it. His justification for the cold blooded murder of innocents is that they’re in the way of implementing sharia law (how exactly the baby who was used as a target for explosive training was opposing them is beyond me) – basically, “the end justifies the means”, which is the justification to the most barbaric actions in human history, usually perpetrated by totalitarian regimes (the “Final Solution”, the “Great Purges”, etc). And that’s exactly what islam is – a totalitarian, repressive regime with the usual heavy punishments for free thinkers and those who don’t tow the line.

    Alexander Ciccolo said, “people killed by ISIS were either criminals or standing in the way of the implementation of sharia law…”

    Think about that. 65% of Muslims want the imposition of Sharia law against the will of 80% of all people on the planet.

    The point is this: Ciccolo approves of murdering 80% of humans who oppose Sharia.

    “Ciccolo said they’re doing “good” things like “implementing sharia, freeing people from oppression, wherever they go they’re changing things.””

    Robert you did not highlight this after saying

    “Where did this convert to Islam get the idea that what the Islamic State was doing was consistent with Islam and Sharia,”

    When will John Kerry tell Alexander Ciccol that Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam and Sharia.

    Also,the price of pressure coolers has just gone up.

      ISIS and what they are doing is showing the true face of Islam as it was with Mohammed and his followers. They are following his example. ISLAM is the biggest threat to the world barring natural disasters.

    Kitman alert: “implementing”.
    “Implementing”, as in ”implementing sharia” is a kitman and taqiyya code word. Anjem Choudary favours it: it sounds anodyne, really quite reasonable and unobjectionable, but it is only part of the story.
    Other code words are used for the same concealment purpose.
    “Introduce” and “bring” are used by smooth-lying imam Faisal Abdul Rauf of Ground Zero Mosque.
    “Implant” was used by Samir “I am a traitor” Khan, “We pledge to wage jihad…until we implant Islam all over the world”.
    “Install” is used by Times Square Bomber Faisal Shahzad.
    All of these words are dishonest decoys, substitutes.
    What they really mean is “impose by force” or “inflict”.

    Hey Spence.
    Seattle’s mayor Foofoo wants to help those that practice Sharia. This may be worth your attention.
