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

Idaho: Muslim convicted of supporting jihad group, had explosives

Aug 12, 2015 8:28 pm By Robert Spencer

Fazliddin Kurbanov“Kurbanov’s attorney countered that Kurbanov was just making empty boasts when he talked about planning an attack, and that the explosive materials in his apartment were for building fireworks.” Yeah, sure, that’s the ticket. Fireworks.

 

The Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan: you know, that’s another one of those Islamic groups that have nothing to do with Islam.

“Uzbek Refugee Convicted of Terrorism Conspiracy Charge in US,” Associated Press, August 12, 2015:

A jury in Idaho has convicted an Uzbek refugee of three terrorism-related charges after prosecutors said he worked to support a terrorist organization and gathered explosive materials in his Boise apartment.

Fazliddin Kurbanov, a Russian-speaking truck driver who fled Uzbekistan in 2009, was arrested two years ago by federal authorities who said he was determined to carry out an attack on U.S. soil. Prosecutors also said he tried to provide computer support and money to the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, which the U.S. government has identified as a terrorist organization.

Kurbanov’s attorney countered that Kurbanov was just making empty boasts when he talked about planning an attack, and that the explosive materials in his apartment were for building fireworks.

The jury found 33-year-old Kurbanov guilty of three counts including conspiracy and attempting to support a terrorist organization, but acquitted him of two additional counts. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 10.

    Supporting jihad with money and other support is considered as good as committing a violent jihadist act.

    Fazliddin Kurbanov is an example of Muslim youth stimulated by radical jihad chic. HOW CAN THE IMMIGRATION and INTELLIGENCE services FAIL SO TOTALLY to keep such terrorists out?

    Everyone in the government URGENTLY NEEDS TO LEARN THE STANDARD JIHAD DOCTRINE so we have a chance of spotting and stopping more jihadists.

      So very good that the jury outvoted the attorney!

      The lesson that so many Americans have failed to learn is that every Muslim immigrant is a potential jihadist or a supporter of jihad. The solution – stop all Muslim immigration into the West.

        I’m with you on stopping Islamic immigration. All of us need to have a sit down with our Congressmen and Senators if possible and push for banning all Islamic immigration. The danger of the growth of government that the Founders warned us about (affects the balance of power in the Constitution) has resulted in this illegal Muslim in our White House who controls the agencies that oversees immigration (and other things) and they do his bidding to keep from being fired. Appears their jobs are worth more to them than their integrity and allegiance to America. We have got to stop these future Jihadists and supporters of Islamic Sharia Law from coming into the country. They are Trojan Horses and Obama knows this and is fostering it. The man is guilty of treason in my opinion.

    Americans should stop feeling they have an obligation to provide homes to people who hate them.
    What kind of sob story did this guy put across to get into the US?
    Who interviewed him?

      Indeed – if they want to hate the US they can do so in their own country, at their own expenses.

      Grimly hilarious. Thanks for the laugh.

  4. Good things Arabs and Muslims do says

    Aug 13, 2015 at 8:24 am

    One of the criticisms of the anti-Islamic protests in the U.S. is that the protesters never mention any of the good things that are done by Arabs or Muslims. Actually, they have tried to show some balance, but there is not much to commend. Here is how Arabs and Muslims measure up based on some generally accepted international standards:

    Peace
    Muslims represent 23 percent of the world’s population, yet they are participants in 84 percent of the armed conflicts. Source: http://www.religioustolerance.org/curr_war.htm

    Contributions to Society
    Eight hundred Nobel Prizes have been awarded to individuals since 1895. Of those, only six were given to Arabs. While Arabs constitute 5 percent of the world’s population, their share of Nobel Prizes was only ¾ of one percent. Muslims, who represent 23 percent of the world’s population, were awarded only 1.4 percent of the awards.

    Humanitarian Efforts
    On December 26, 2004, an earthquake off the coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra generated a tsunami that wreaked havoc along much of the rim of the Indian Ocean. Particularly hard-hit were the countries of Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. About 230,000 people were killed, tens of thousands more were injured, and 100 million became homeless and displaced. Because some Muslims deemed the disaster was “Allah’s will,” they provided only token assistance to their Muslim brothers in Indonesia and Thailand. Of the 56 nations in the Organization of the Islamic Conference, only three (Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar) gave small amounts of relief aid. Here is the score-card of aid contributions by Muslim vs. Non-Muslim countries:
    Non-OIC countries: $9,645.6 million or .0113% of total GDP
    OIC countries: $147.5 million or .0012% of total GDP
    (GDP figure excluded Indonesia and Thailand)
    Said another way, the Non-OIC countries contributed 9.4 times that of the OIC countries as a percent of their GDP to a disaster impacting mostly Muslims.

    Civilized Societies
    In the 2012 Mercer “Quality of Living” ranking of 221 major cities in the world, Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, ranked 157th. Of the 65 cities ranking worse than Riyadh, over half of them were in Muslim-majority countries, including Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen.

    Tolerance and Multiculturalism
    The last countries to officially end slavery were: Saudi Arabia (1962), Yemen (1962), Oman (1970), and Mauritania (1980) – over 100 years after slavery was abolished in the United States. Slavery is still practiced in the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, where 500,000 Black slaves are in bondage – almost as many as the total number of slaves (645,000) brought to the United States in the 18th and 19th centuries.
    All of 56 member countries of the Organization of Islamic Conference refer to Sharia Law for their definition of “human rights”. Under Sharia Law there is no freedom of religious belief, diminished civil rights for women and non-Muslims, no tolerance of homosexuality or cross-racial marriage. Typically, homosexuals are hung from cranes (Iran) or thrown from the roofs of tall buildings (ISIS-controlled areas). Sharia Law prohibits Muslim women from marrying non-Muslims or Arab Muslim women from marrying non-Arabs – because Muhammad decreed, “Allah has chosen the Arabs above others.”
