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

Idaho: Muslim charged with teaching people to build bombs to target public transportation

Jul 14, 2015 8:23 am By Robert Spencer

Fazliddin KurbanovWhere are the people he taught? What are they doing now?

“UPDATE: Trial Starts for Uzbek Refugee’s Terrorism Charge,” by Rebecca Boone, Associated Press, July 14, 2015:

BOISE (AP) | A federal trial is underway this week for an Uzbek refugee charged with supporting a terrorist organization.

Fazliddin Kurbanov, a Russian-speaking truck driver who fled Uzbekistan in 2009, was arrested in 2013 by federal authorities who said he was teaching people to build bombs to target public transportation and other targets.

Prosecutors say Kurbanov traveled the West assisting a militant group in his native Uzbekistan, a Central Asian country that has a southern border with Afghanistan. The 32-year-old, who lives in Boise, has pleaded not guilty to the five terrorism-related charges….

Prosecutors have charged Kurbanov with committing felonies in Idaho and Utah, saying he conspired with others to provide resources, including computer software and money, to the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan. The U.S. has identified the IMU as a terrorist organization.

Kurbanov has denied all of the allegations. In a trial brief filed by the defense late last month, his attorneys wrote, “Mr. Kurbanov never agreed or attempted to provide material support to the IMU or to terrorists as alleged (by providing personnel, money or software); nor did he possess an unregistered destructive device.”…

They also raised concerns that potential jurors could be influenced by racial or ethnic prejudice because the case involves evidence regarding Islamic extremism and radical political sentiment.

What race or ethnicity is jihad mass murder again? I keep forgetting.

    No Muslim “refugees” should be allowed in to Christian/Western countries…There are many many Muslim countries they can go to. Only Christian refugees should be allowed in.

      I have a superior idea.

      Time for a moratorium on ALL immigration to the United States. Those “refugees” can go elsewhere.

        The REAL refugees are the Christians and other minorities in Islamic countries. Obama appears to only allow Muslim refugees in to the United States. Of course in Europe it is similar and even so called Muslim refugees throw Christian refugees off boats.

        Muslims are a huge drain on European resources. Even this Muslim admits it.

      There is no more such Christian countries. We are ruled by a gang of libertards gays and atheists that only seeks to destroy the Christian faith. They allow those muslims to their own destruction. See what will happen when they will try to force a muslim to bake a cake for a gay wedding. Many people share your thoughts and your frustration. This immigration policy is insane.

    Brian, it does not matter what we want anymore. Western countries are no longer democracies, all our leaders have sold us out to the NWO.

    Trials like this throughout the nation. Not every mujahadeen will be caught, however, as they will adjust tactics to gain their goals. One day there will be real carnage (again) in the US at the hand of jihadis.

    Yet we brought these mujahadeen into our free country.

    They also raised concerns that potential jurors could be influenced by racial or ethnic prejudice because the case involves evidence regarding Islamic extremism and radical political sentiment.

    Yup, can’t have those jurors having some sort of religious prejudice when judging a muslim for acting upon what his religion teaches. Better add some questions to the selection questionnaire:

    1 – Do you believe that islam is a religion of peace? Yes [ ] No [ ]
    2 – Do you believe that islam was hijacked by a tiny minority of extremists who twist its teaching to legitimize their agendas? Yes [ ] No [ ]
    3 – Do you believe that the Holy Prophet Muhammad was the greatest human being that ever existed and lived the most righteous life known to man? Yes [ ] No [ ]
    4 – Do you believe that mosques should not be spied upon by law enforcement agencies under any circumstance? Yes [ ] No [ ]
    5 – Are you in favour of the Ground Zero Mosque? Yes [ ] No [ ]
    6 – Have you ever donated money to any islamic charity group? Yes [ ] No [ ]

    Answering “No” to any of them would render them unable to act as juror on any case involving a muslim.

    “an Uzbek refugee charged with supporting a terrorist organization”

    He must be an anomaly; for we know that many (most? enough to mention because it’s supposed to make a difference to our safety?) Muslims in Uzbekistan are milder mutations, Those in Central Asia who do not believe in the ideology of Islam, but continue to think that they must self-identify as “cultural Muslims”…

    Keep this case – and other similar cases – up your sleeve, when, anywhere in the western world, you have to write to politicians trying to explain why you do *not* want to admit into your country even *one* identifiably-Muslim ‘refugee’ or ‘immigrant’.

    Terrorists like this guy got in because someone didn’t do the homework. Can we sue the Immigration department for incompetence and endangering us?

      “Can we sue the Immigration department for incompetence and endangering us?”

      to Mortimer – only if we taxpayers pay for both the plaintiff’s and the respondent’s attorneys, court costs, etc. Cheers! quotha r

    I have a novel idea: why not send him back to Uzbekistan and save the tax-payers the expense of a trial and his welfare-for-life payments?

    When dealing with these sort of ethnic/political cases in the West the legal process is not over until the plaintiff is acquitted and paid damages for the inconvenience. The naturalized Chinese working in the US weapons labs who took the detailed designs of US nuclear warheads home and put them on the internet in the 1990s got a slap on the wrist, then collected millions for ‘racial discrimination’..

    We have an influx lately of guys who look just like this riding their bicycles around town hanging out with young girls with children. They show up at cool places….,a back pack lying under a table…cell phones, look like they were up all night playing video games, walking I am sure they are here in this small town….now what to do.
