“Strict Muslim” indicted on terrorism charges in murder of New Jersey college student

Jul 3, 2015 4:06 pm By Robert Spencer

ali muhammad brownThis story says that “Brown had allegedly said he was motivated by a ‘bloody crusade’ to punish the U.S. government for its foreign policies.” However, how likely is it that a “strict Muslim” would say that he was on a “crusade”? Last year, King5.com reported that “multiple sources with knowledge of the investigation say Brown told police he carried out the murders because he was on a jihad to kill Americans.” So over the past year, the mainstream media has transformed Ali Muhammad Brown from a jihadi to a crusader.

“Man Indicted On Terrorism Charges In Murder Of College Student In West Orange” CBS New York, July 2, 2015:

NEWARK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — A Seattle man was indicted on terrorism and murder charges Thursday in a shooting that killed a college student in West Orange, New Jersey last year.

Ali Muhammad Brown, 30, was indicted by a grand jury on two counts of terrorism, one count of murder and other charges in the June 25, 2014 shooting that killed Brendan Tevlin, 19, of Livingston, according to the Essex County Prosecutor’s office.

It was the first murder case in New Jersey in which a defendant was charged with terrorism under state law, prosecutors said. Brown had allegedly said he was motivated by a “bloody crusade” to punish the U.S. government for its foreign policies.

Tevlin was shot and killed as he stopped at a traffic light at Walker Road and Northfield Avenue West Orange on his way home.

Tevlin was driving back from visiting friends at the time, prosecutors said.

Investigators said Brown then drove Tevlin’s vehicle to an apartment complex on Northfield Avenue where he stole undisclosed items from the victim.

Tevlin had just completed his freshman year at the University of Richmond in Virginia and was home from college for the summer.

“The investigation in King County and New Jersey reveals that this defendant is responsible for a series of murders, none of which appear to be provoked, and all of which show an extreme level of violence,” King County, Washington Prosecutor Dan Satterberg said in a statement.

Detectives tracked Brown through cartridge casings linked to the slayings and surveillance video that showed a distinctive Dodge Durango sport-utility vehicle. Prosecutors said police were also able to get a palm print from inside a victim’s car in the Seattle slayings that was matched to Brown.

Brown allegedly later told police his mission was vengeance and said lives are taken every day by America, so “a life for a life.”

Brown had earlier been charged with aggravated murder in the June 1 shooting deaths of two young men in Seattle, Ahmed Said and Dwone Anderson-Young, and in the April 27 shooting of 30-year-old Leroy Henderson in Skyway, south of Seattle.

Henderson was out walking late at night when he was shot. The young Seattle men were shot a short time after they left a nightclub.

“The defendant was on a bloody crusade, executing four innocent men — with the same murder weapon, over the course of approximately two months, and all under the common and single scheme of exacting ‘vengeance’ against the United States government for its foreign policies,” King County prosecutors said in court documents.

Brown told cops he chose his victims because they were adult men with no women or children around.

In a probable cause affidavit filed in Seattle, King County sheriff’s Detective John Pavlovich said Brown described himself to detectives after his New Jersey arrest as a strict Muslim who had become angry with what he described as the U.S. government’s role in Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan that he said had led to the death of innocent civilians and children….

      Anger is an indelible permanent state of devout muslims.

    So now we have another category of Muslims -a “strict” Muslim!!! What is this nonsense?? A Muslims is a Muslim is a Muslim. No matter how you describe them they are all Muslims and follow the same religion – Islam!!

    There is Islamism and Islamists who are the “bad” people and different than day to day Muslims and now a self described strict Muslim who is a serial murderer. I am sure the dumb US media will catch on to this and somehow will separate this category from their ideal Muslim who follows world’s most peaceful religion!! Morons!!

    Is there ever a time when Muslims are NOT angry?

    Didn’t think so.

    That vacant look on his face… Was he practicing to be an extra on the next season of The Walking Dead?

    In a probable cause affidavit filed in Seattle, King County sheriff’s Detective John Pavlovich said Brown described himself to detectives after his New Jersey arrest as a strict Muslim who had become angry with what he described as the U.S. government’s role in Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan that he said had led to the death of innocent civilians and children

    Well, he also killed innocent civilians. At least by Western standards – they were not muslims and they paid their taxes to the American government ergo, by his standards, they were not innocent since they financed the war on terror. Tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor, rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief – all the same to the strict, angry (and is there any other kind?) muslim.

      “…angry (and is there any other kind?) muslim…Yeah, that pretty much sums it all up, don’t it?

    He wanted to kill and he found an excuse in Islamic politics. Islam enables violence the way heroin enables drug addiction.

      Absolutely.

    A “strict Muslim”, if strictly following the Koran, were to murder an infidel, it would be entirely consistent with Islamic scripture and history.

    US terrorists should be sent to one of the Aleutian Islands and left there.

    I’m waiting for the “his motives are unclear” from one of the media. That he told us what his motive was doesn’t seem to count in the media.

    Let me guess, he converted to Islam while in jail last time. The name is interesting though, Muhammed Ali, no Sunni would combine “Ali” with Muhammed as it refers to the prophet’s relative venerated by the Shi’ites.
    Perhaps his parents were boxing fans and this story is a cunning ruse to reinvent himself as something other than a common criminal and murderer.

    • Mahendra Singh says

      Jul 4, 2015 at 6:16 pm

      Are you suggesting Muhammad Ali, the boxer is Shia? In Pakistan there used to be an actor with the same name and he was Sunni.
      As far as I know the Shias abhor the four caliphs after Mohammad, Abu Baker, Omer, Usma and Muawiyya.. In addition, Ali was the son-in-law of big M, being married to Fathima, his daughter.
      Ali is perfectly Kosher in combination with Muhammad.

    Interesting is it not that any non Muslim in the West is held equally responsible for the actions of his/her government in a democracy even if he/she may have voted against such policies, being a non Muslim sufficient justification. However Muslims are never responsible for anything that the jihadists do even though they are very supportive of jihad actions around the world. Of course one does not expect the religious mind of any faith to bother about logic
    or even common sense.

    Well, that was decent of him…he must be one of those ‘moderates’ we hear so much about…Most likely an Obama voter…

    Don’t you love it? He was upset with our government so went out and robbed and murdered someone he didn’t even know to get even.
