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

New Jersey: “Strict Muslim” pleads not guilty to jihad murders he confessed to committing

Aug 6, 2015 4:06 pm By Robert Spencer

“Describing himself as a strict Muslim, he told investigators that his four male victims represented ‘a life for a life’ for ‘Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, all these places where innocent lives are being taken every single day.'”

This endless cycle of revenge is sanctioned by the Qur’an: “And We ordained for them therein a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is legal retribution. But whoever gives charity, it is an expiation for him. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed – then it is those who are the wrongdoers.” (5:45)

Read here an exclusive firsthand account from someone who knew Ali Muhammad Brown. “Man pleads not guilty in New Jersey’s first state terrorism case,” Reuters, August 4, 2015:

A Washington state man pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to charges of murdering a college student in New Jersey in an act of “vengeance” for U.S. military action in the Middle East.

Ali Muhammad Brown, 30, is charged with shooting to death 19-year-old Brendan Tevlin as he stopped at a traffic light in West Orange, New Jersey, not far from his family’s home in Livingston, said Katherine Carter, spokeswoman for the Essex County Prosecutor’s Office.

The murder case marks the first time prosecutors in New Jersey have used state terrorism charges, she said. The charge was brought after permission was granted by the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office, Carter said.

The June 2014 shooting is among four murders Brown confessed to committing, including three in Washington state, as “vengeance” for U.S. military action overseas, according to court documents.

Describing himself as a strict Muslim, he told investigators that his four male victims represented “a life for a life” for “Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, all these places where innocent lives are being taken every single day,” court documents said.

At his arraignment in state Superior Court in Newark on Tuesday, Brown pleaded not guilty to nine charges stemming from the death of Tevlin, who was home for summer vacation after completing his freshman year at the University of Richmond in Virginia….

    The “good” to come from this and other legal proceedings against arrested and tried Muslims is that those court proceedings might be the only way to convince millions of concrete-skull Americans about the inherent violence of Islam.

      “those court proceedings might be the only way to convince millions of concrete-skull Americans about the inherent violence of Islam”

      Except that every mainstream media report will say that this is a deluded individual and that his actions have nothing to do with Islam, which is the religion of peace.

        I guess he will plead insanity….confesses he murdered then pleads not guilty.
        Wow….. got to be insane or just plain stupid probably got kicked out of some gang for being stupid.

          No, in the muslim mind, it’s not “murder”, if the victim is an “infidel”. Confessing to killing but denying murder makes sense, in the sharia mentality.

      The guy is a criminal, a Black supremacist who used Islam to justify killing White people. The problem is that there are thousands of Black criminal Muslims just like him in the USA. Our prisons are breeding grounds for this type of Islamic jihadist.

        Two times I have seen you post this nonsense. Brown is a devoted Muslim, not a black supremacist. I was a white convert and hung out with other white converts mostly due to similar backgrounds. Brown and his brother also hung out with us from time to time and never said or did anything that could be taken as anti-white at all. He is an Islamic supremacist, not a black supremacist so please quit distorting the facts, Shane.

    I guess if you are inclined to be a murderer, rapist, are intolerant of everyone around you, this is the best religion for you! Charlie Mansons of the world have found a place at last.

      And muhammed pbuh* the founder of Islam, the religion of death darkness and hell, was much worse than Charles Manson.
      pbuh* perpetual banishment unto hell

      Manson had a cult following,,, Jim Jones had a cult following and many other’s also…..but before them was islam the real CULT= Cult-ivated = Cultivated They have cultivated murder, robbery, rape, stealing body dismembering and all kinds of mayhem

    You cannot discuss or try to communicate with a muslim because they always use their lying known as
    Taquiyya so to them anything you want to say is ok because in the quran it is permissible to lie .Their goal is to kill all those who disagree with them so they can eventually take over the world. jews and Christians are pigs and apes and are the vilest of creatures and we know by the sayings of mohammed in the Koran that there are no mistakes in the Koran .You cannot win talking to them .

      Disagree. Difficult, but not impossible. Not all Muslims are completely closed-minded. It takes a long time for the facts to sink in in most cases. Keep trying to talk to them politely and reasonably…something will sink in. Let them know more and more of us are observing them and they can’t simply threaten us any more. Too many Westerners are reading Islam’s source books. We understand the jihad doctrine, the misogyny and the death cult mentality. Keep trying. We should all talk to Muslims and try to dissuade them. The personal approach multiplied by millions will deprogram large numbers of Muslims.

      “You cannot discuss or try to communicate with a muslim because they always use their lying known as
      Taquiyya…..” Sorry, but I can’t get my head round this one. First he admits to killing these people (which is saying he committed ‘murder’) and he also says why he did it, then he goes to court and apparently pleads ‘not gulity’ to the very charges relating to the very same crimes that he already said he’d committed, but without explaining in court why he’d reversed his story. This isn’t ‘lying’, it’s plain unhinged stupidity or lunacy, the kind of thing where you send for the men in white coats to take him away in a straightjacket and try to sort out what planet he thinks he’s on. Is this what islam does to the human brain?

        Aug 11, 2015 at 10:31 am

        Keep in mind this was an arraignment. Here in my state, the judge automatically enters a not guilty plea for you because most defendants have not secured a lawyer yet. If that is also the case here, this may be the judge’s automatic plea and can be changed when Brown returns with a lawyer at his next court date.

        • Noor says

          Aug 11, 2015 at 10:32 am

          So he may still plead guilty when he returns to court.

    Vigilantism is normative Islam, rather than an aberration. No one should think that Islamic vigilantism will go away because of mere American courts and law enforcement. Islamic vigilantism is the LAW OF GOD superior to all human law. Muslims have an ALLAH-GIVEN RIGHT to commit murder on their own initiative under Sharia. It’s jihad against the disbelievers.

    An intensely believing Muslim is like a time bomb with a hair trigger. The greater his faith, the more likely a Muslim is to commit an atrocity. Muslims need to be deprogrammed for this Death Cult.

    Pious Muslims consider any military action against Muslim marauders to be illegitimate. Muslims in America are disloyal to the US and refuse to fight for the US, but will gladly fight against it.

    Why would anybody believe this guy’s, or any of his friends and associate’s, testimony in court?

    They don’t believe in the Bible so taking that oath doesn’t mean squat.

    And the Koran says they can lie to infidels so anything they say in court don’t mean squat.

    • Nimrod says

      Aug 7, 2015 at 1:42 am

      Yep, and it amazes me that the few Muslims (around 100 or so I think) that have been allowed to join the IDF are allowed to sware an oath of loyalty to Israel on the Quran. I guess the IDF figures it doesn’t matter what they swear on since any Muslim could be falsely swearing an oath regardless of how they do it.

      Let’s just hope they only get the “bad” Muslims who for some reason external to Islam actually take oaths and truth seriously even with regards to infidels.

    Now, isn’t that the face of a disturbed individual? Nonetheless, he can be dangerous and should be disposed of.

    Indict and jail without bond these Domestic Muslim Terrorists for Treason and terrorist acts, convict them and execute them on TV/Cable/Internet as examples! Stop all Muslim Immigration to the all Western Democracies as they are enemies of Separation of Religion or Philosophy and State, Western Democracies, Western Freedoms, Equalities and Freedoms worldwide! Ban Shariah Laws by your Country’s or State’s Constitutional Amendments similar to Alabama’s recent ban on Muslims Koran-based Shariah Law: Called “The American and Alabama Laws for Alabama Courts Amendment,” Amendment 1 relates to the application of foreign law during the legal process involving an Alabama citizen. Foreign law refers to the laws of other countries or cultures. Currently, judges or other legal authorities discern whether foreign law is applied. Amendment 1 would create constitutional protection that foreign law is not applied if it violates the guaranteed rights of Alabama citizens. Write your Country’s or State’s Legislators and Congress people to ban Muslims Koran-based Shariah Laws and add this same wording to your Country’s or State, Constitution as Amendments!

    Islam can, and will, be defeated here in America. There is a way and we must find it and develop it.

    This endless cycle of revenge is sanctioned by the Qur’an: “And We ordained for them therein a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is legal retribution. But whoever gives charity, it is an expiation for him. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed – then it is those who are the wrongdoers.” (5:45)

    The success of the Christian West lies in not following that old testament dictum but following Christ – Do not repay violence with violence. This allows the law to take its course, thus the founding of a nation based restraint, and law and order.

    By allowing millions of Muslims into the West, at the same time forgetting God, we have placed the West in an existential crisis from which we may not recover.
