“With credit for 11 years he has already spent in UK and US custody as well as good behaviour, Aswat could be freed in six years.” What will he do then? Become a loyal, hard-working citizen, no doubt.
“UK Jihadist Jailed Over Oregon Camp Plot,” by Jason Farrell, SKY News, October 16, 2015:
A British man linked to some of the most notorious members of al Qaeda’s network has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for attempting to set up a terrorist training camp in Oregon.
Haroon Aswat, who has been treated for mental illness in the UK, had pleaded guilty to the charges in March after being extradited from Britain to the US last year.
US District Judge Katherine Forrest ordered the federal prisons bureau to provide the 41-year-old with specialised psychiatric care as part of his sentence.
With credit for 11 years he has already spent in UK and US custody as well as good behaviour, Aswat could be freed in six years.
His lawyer, Peter Quijano, said Aswat would seek to serve out his sentence in Britain, a request Forrest said she would support.
The case dates back to 1999 when, guided by London-based radical cleric Abu Hamza and working with another man, Ouassama Kassir, Aswat attempted to buy land in Oregon.
The plan was to build a camp where young Muslims could take “religious training” and prepare to fight in Afghanistan.
The group was helped by an American-born Muslim convert called James Ujaama, who would later give evidence against the others in a plea bargain that saw his own sentence reduced to two years in prison.
The evidence against Aswat first emerged in 2002 when US authorities recovered a ledger with his name on it at an al Qaeda safe house that had been used by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged architect of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
By this time the Oregon project had failed and Aswat was in Pakistan where he would later meet the ringleader of the London 7/7 attacks, Mohammed Sidique Khan, and his accomplice Shehzad Tanweer.
Aswat was arrested in Zambia in 2005 and deported to Britain.
There followed a long extradition process to the US, during which Aswat was interned to Broadmoor Hospital in 2008 and treated for paranoid schizophrenia.
The European Court of Human Rights blocked his extradition on the basis of concerns over the conditions he would face in a US jail.
He was finally extradited in October 2014, following assurances as to how he would be treated in custody.
Aswat, a British citizen of Indian descent, was described by his lawyers as a gentle man who never condoned violence….
Of course. What else could he possibly be?

Susan B says
“Aswat was interned to Broadmoor Hospital in 2008 and treated for paranoid schizophrenia.”
Isn’t that the normal state of being for jihadist?
Michael Copeland says
The hospital for the criminally insane.
خَليفة says
Paranoid schizophrenic ? pretty much summarizes a “devout” follower of Islamic doctrine.
Muslims worry about getting a drop of pee on themselves or clothes when they urinate – yet they are full of pee AND #2.
With a name like Asswad, sorry, Aswat, sounds like he will have a grand old time in prison.

Wish they had kept him and the expense related to keeping him.
“Aswat, a British citizen of Indian descent, was described by his lawyers as a gentle man who never condoned violence…”
This is a subtle legal distinction. ” Violence” means attacking other people who believe the same things he believes and are male. Killing Jews, Christians, other Muslims and raping woman is not part of the definition because these are required under Islam.
خَليفة says
Hit the nail on the head.
mortimer says
Exactly. El Cid wrote: “Killing Jews, Christians, other Muslims and raping woman is not part of the definition because these are required under Islam.”
Because it’s part of his ‘religion’, he is not ‘ill’ or ‘violent’.
Eichmann was not ‘violent’ either because he believed Jewish children were not humans.

Now I gotta complain right here. The photo caption does say which is Haroon, and frankly they both look so stupid that if I had to guess I’d flip a coin. Inbreeding has consequences.
Aswat, a British citizen of Indian descent, was described by his lawyers as a gentle man who never condoned violence….
I dunno how his lawyers would know that, but lawyers are know-it-alls, they run Washington after all, and look at what goes on there. And I’m being serious, the DC metro is now the country’s richest city by a long shot.
But if Haroon never condoned violence, did he ever condone the Holy Ko-Ran? That’s violent. Ultra-violent. Even a retardo would be able to see through that.
On the other hand, why are we picking on him? There’s that big Moslem activists Mujahidin training camp in Pennsylvania, and that’s legal. Why go after this guy for wanting to do the same in Oregon?
Joseph says
We are at war. All enemy combatants should be locked up till Islam does not pose a threat to non-Muslim people. In other words, for the rest of their life.
When you are at war you do not capture an enemy only to release him to fight/kill you another day.
We are helping to sow the seeds of our own destruction.
خَليفة says
How about giving them cyanide tooth so they can leave prison when they choose.

Quran (8:12) – “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them”
The west has always been at war with Islam. The qu’ran is a document of strategey and tactics for world domination.
Quran (8:39) – “And fight with them until there is no more fitna (disorder, unbelief) and religion should be only for Allah”
Muslims are not your friends.

What good is jail going to do? Rehab the man? I don’t think so. So he is sheltered for 6 – 10 years, contaminates his cell mates, then goes out to cause more havoc.
I’d vote for jail for life, shelter for the criminally insane for life, or deport the guy.
Angemon says
Yeah, we wouldn’t want a criminal to be uncomfortable in jail, right…? sarc./ off

I guess treatment for paranoid schitzephrenia isn’t effective against Palestinean brainwashing. Whaddya know?

1. Takiyya This means that Muslims are allowed to lie, and conceal their true thoughts, feelings, or character
2. Tawriya This term means that it is ok to lie in virtually all circumstances. Tawirya is when a Muslim says one thing, but basically means another.
3. Kitman This term is when Muslims only tell you part of the truth
4. Muruna This term means that Muslims can use flexibility to blend in with their enemy and surroundings.
Gbox says
Why only 20 years? Operating a training camp for jihadis is the same as participating in murder, but on a grand scale. He needs to be executed.
mortimer says
Libtards believe that Muslims (adherents of the ROP) who commit violence are ‘twisted’ or ‘distorted’ in their thinking.
Libtards believe jihadists are ‘mentally ill’ so they must be hospitalized rather than jailed.
However, jihadists are true believers, rather than ill.
The ‘specialized care’ they need is a hard core course of DEPROGRAMMING from Islam using Robert Spencer’s books and those of other counterjihadists who prove Islam is false.
mortimer says
Western countries will continue to have terrorists like the two in the photo as long as they do not learn the jihad doctrine and realize it is normative Islam, rather than an aberration.

That picture says it all about these nutters.

They should be wearing face coverings.

Saddly, but I live in Oregon. And we have THOUSANDS of these satanic muslums living here. Belive me, I pass by them in the local super market when ever I shop! Women in head sacks, or the full body suit. It’s not only scarry, but disgusting too. And. I don’t know why, but they ALL smell bad!!! What’s up with THAT???
Joseph says
Please Robert, do not use this picture again for ANY story. I have seen a lot of disgusting things in my life but this one takes the cake. Speaking of cake, why don’t you start a weight loss program. The kit, for only $19.95 will have this picture with instructions- “When hungry….look at this picture” You may want to also include a puke bowl, but that kit is for $29.95
Isn’t inbreeding great? Just look at these two.
jayell says
Disgusting thugs they indeed are, but just for a moment I thought that the picture made them look a bit like Laurel and Hardy. You have to ignore the face-fungus. I’m trying to think of a suitable caption.
Jim says
If anyone is interested, read Hatred by Dr. Willard Gaylin. It’s eye opening and doesn’t rely on only one culture as contextual examples for the case he makes.

The Muslim paradox
Can a good Muslim be a good American or a good Canadian…? Or live in the Western World?
This question was forwarded to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years….
The following is his reply:
Theologically – NO…!
Because his allegiance is to Allah, The moon god of Arabia….
Religiously – NO…!
Because no other religion is accepted by His Allah except Islam….
(Quran,2:256)(Koran)
Scripturally – NO…!
Because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of Islam and the Quran….
Geographically – NO…!
Because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day….
Socially – NO…!
Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews….
Politically – NO…!
Because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of America, the great Satan….
Domestically – NO…!
Because he is instructed to marry four Women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him….(Quran 4:34 )
Intellectually – NO…!
Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt….
Philosophically – NO…!
Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran do not allow freedom of religion and expression…. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist….
Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic….
Spiritually – NO…!
Because when we declare “one nation under God”, The Christian’s God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as Heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in the Quran’s 99 excellent names….
