Now he is playing the victim: “It’s just a stupid post. You can find thousands of these every hour on Facebook and the media. I don’t know why would they think I am a threat to the national security of the United States just because of a stupid post.”
The thing is, a death threat is serious business. Or it ought to be. Anyone, Muslim or non-Muslim, who utters such a specific threat to kill anyone should be prosecuted. There shouldn’t be any leeway on this because Elsayed wrote the threat on Facebook, or because such threats are common.
Incidentally, in pilot class did he express any interest in learning how to take off and to land, or just in learning how to fly the plane? Just wondering.
“A flight student from Egypt is facing deportation from the United States after being investigated by federal agents for posting on his Facebook page that he was willing to serve a life sentence for killing Donald Trump and that the world would thank him,” by Amy Taxin and Brian Rohan, Associated Press, March 3, 2016:
ORANGE, Calif. (AP) — A flight student from Egypt is facing deportation from the United States after being investigated by federal agents for posting on his Facebook page that he was willing to kill Donald Trump and the world would thank him.
While U.S. prosecutors have not charged 23-year-old Emadeldin Elsayed with a crime, immigration authorities arrested him last month at the Los Angeles-area flight school he attended and now are trying to deport him, attorney Hani Bushra said Wednesday.
Elsayed, who is being held in a jail in Orange, California, is devastated at seeing his dreams of becoming a pilot dashed over what Bushra acknowledged was a foolish social media post. An immigration court hearing will determine whether Elsayed will be deported.
“It seems like the government was not able to get a criminal charge to stick on him, so they used the immigration process to have him leave the country,” Bushra said. “The rhetoric is particularly high in this election, and I just feel he got caught up in the middle.”
Trump is leading the Republican presidential contenders and has used especially tough talk on immigration to win over many voters. He has vowed to build a wall along the entire Mexican border and has called for temporarily banning Muslims from entering the country.
U.S. Secret Service agents interviewed Elsayed in early February after he posted a photo of Trump on Facebook and wrote he was willing to serve a life sentence for killing the billionaire and the world would thank him, Bushra said. The agents returned eight days later and told him federal prosecutors had declined to charge him but said his visa to attend flight school had been revoked. He was arrested by immigration authorities.
Elsayed said he wrote the message because he was angered by Trump’s comments about Muslims. He said he immediately regretted it, and he never intended to harm anyone.
“It’s just a stupid post. You can find thousands of these every hour on Facebook and the media,” he told The Associated Press in a phone interview from jail. “I don’t know why would they think I am a threat to the national security of the United States just because of a stupid post.”
Elsayed said the agent who interviewed him mentioned last year’s shooting rampage by a Muslim husband-and-wife couple in San Bernardino and the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, which were carried out by Muslims who had sought flight training in the United States.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a statement that Elsayed was arrested because he violated “the terms of his admission to the United States.” The agency did not provide further details.
The State Department and Secret Service declined to discuss the case. A Trump campaign spokeswoman also declined to comment.
Elsayed is from Cairo, but he said he spent much of his life in Saudi Arabia, where his father worked as a civil engineer. He came to the United States for the first time last September to attend Universal Air Academy with the hope of returning to Egypt and getting a job at an airline, he said….

mortimer says
miriamrove wrote: “victimhood”
The issue here is ‘honor’, is it not? The precious ‘honor’ of Islam is at stake. This student has in effect stated: ‘If anyone says that Islam is violent, I’ll kill him.’ He unwittingly proves that Islam actually is violent and shows that Muslims expect dirty kafirs like Trump not to insult the ‘honor’ of the Master Religion. He wants to make an example of Trump, so others will be in fear of Muslims. The student is saying in effect: ‘Kafirs should know their place and respect the supremacism of Islam…or we put them in their place through violence.’
The student is doing his duty as part of the Ummah to enforce Dhimmitude through terrorism, is he not?
miriamrove says
This time it is victimhood. He is claiming that others make threats as well so just because he is a Muslim he is being singled out. Honor too. M

SoCalMike says
You can say what someone might suffer in a just world or what they deserve but threatening to kill is not protected speech.
Violence or the threat of violence is not ok.
what the hell are Mo students doing in American flight schools anyway after 9/11?
The morons infesting government never ever learn or correct their mistakes even after those mistakes get thousands murdered.
mortimer says
The ‘honor’ of Islam must be protected, but the ‘honor’ of kafirs at war with Islam must be humiliated!
Sharia permits the murder of anyone who verbally opposes Islam, since they are at war with Islam:
“There is no indemnity obligatory for killing a non-Muslim (harbi) at war with Muslims.” -Reliance of the Traveller, o4.17, p.593
The following illiterate post (from Australia) expresses protecting the honor of Islam by rage and murder:
“they want to make us give up on our culture, our islamic heritage, history, ideals and virtures in exchange for their kufr. so if the muslims dont respond to such attacks then we have lost.
the prophet pbuh is the base for our deen. he is the chosen messenger. if we dont feel gheerah for him then you have no gheerah for your deen. even if you dont go and kill the person who said such things at least feel gheerah. get angry for the sake of Allah, and dont fear the blame of the blamers. if you go an insult these kuffars mothers they change their tune. they dont say free speach.
we love the prophet pbuh more then our own lives, or at least were supposed too. we try to justify not defending him in the name of maslaha, or dawah ect. first off america is darul harb, clear cut. there isint supposed to be dawah in darul harb. and if there was no war, dawah still dosent justify not responding.
if i remeber correctly one muslim man, may Alllah accept him, killed a man who named his dog muhammad. so on his trial date, when the judge asked him if he wanted to applogize, he said no, and that next time somone thinks about naming their dog muhammad, he will think twice. and thats what happend, nobody has named their dog muhammad since then. bad press? yeah, if you judge it by how the kuffar judge it.
but we are muslims so maybe its about time we start judging things in accordange to the scales of Allah.”
For Muslims, displaying RAGE and TERRORISM in the manner of gorilla is considered perfectly natural in a Muslim and beneficial to Islam.
Jay Boo says
mortimer,
You forgot to say why Muslims write pbuh in reference to Muhammad.
It is because Islam’s sleaziest buffoon, Muhammad is such a disgrace to humanity that Muslims feel the need to compensate for all his shortcomings.
PBUH to Muhammad is like perfume to poop.
No one can protect Allah’s honor
Not even Allah
Allah has no honor to protect
Carpet kissers themselves no longer have honor.
That is why they are called Muslim.
Muslim — means (one who has no honor)

“they want to make us give up on our culture, our islamic heritage,”

underbed cat says
He never had to worry, the Republicans had Romey and the Democrats had Obama…to destroy the Trump campaign. but it is still chilling to know this muslim had such a worry. Could it be due to Trumps exposure of the border, ideology and the Republican refusal to know the enemy.
Trump once talked about the power of nuclear weapons and knows full well the destruction and power which I believe came from the information of uncle well informed. I do not believe he is impulsive in this regard. No, Trump knows the real evil…..silver tongued controlled candidates can sometimes be more dangerous. The Republican party will destroy itself, not Trump. Romey is the perfect example of bad move.

Dump Trump
Before it is too late
Trump will cover the stench of all of Hillary’s flaws and play to Hilary’s strengths.
Mainstream Muslims might hate him — but the MO Bro are licking their chops
Hillary has on the job government political experience and Trump does not.
When Trump attacks Benghazi, Hillary will say please call me Madame Secretary.
Trump’s sleaze factor will distract from Hillary’s.
Trump played coy about David Duke to scamper up to get past Super Tuesday’s southern states.
Trump waffles on his convictions as needed to get what he wants.
Yes, Trump says good things about stopping Muslim immigration but is Trump campaigning to win the Republican nomination or the Presidency by dividing the GOP votes between more electable candidates only to go down in flames to head bump Hillary’s Muslim funded attack machine.
Even is Trump won the Presidency he would be damaged goods from the start and grievance mongering Muslims and their unsavory allies would play up the victim card for all its worth.
Jay Boo says
Also, Trump once donated to Hillary’s campaign.
In addition, Trump bragged about cheating on his wife which would provide cover for lecherous Bill’s lack of character. Trump would energize Haggard Hillary’s worn out supporter enthusiasm.
Trump would be a perfect foil for Hillary’s Mud-slinging Muslim Brotherhood Muslims and their Leftist Looney allies.
Trump should bow out gracefully from the general election in November by saying some of his ideas are ahead of its time rather than risk becoming an unelectable Presidential candidate who got ahead by pandering for votes of one party while more electable candidates fought among themselves and had the good sense (unlike Trump) to refuse to crawl into David Duke land feigning ignorance about who’s votes he was willing to suck up to.

Muslim flight student facing deportation after saying he was willing to serve life sentence for murdering Donald Trump
“It seems like the government was not able to get a criminal charge to stick on him, so they used the immigration process to have him leave the country,” Bushra said. “The rhetoric is particularly high in this election, and I just feel he got caught up in the middle.”
………………………..
Uh huh. The rhetoric *is* high in this election–and yet, I must have missed the part where candidates where saying they planned on murdering each other and were willing to serve life sentences in order to do so…
A Muslim is shocked to find that he cannot just threaten to murder people. How un-Islamic is that?
Glad the authorities are taking this threat seriously.
linnte says
A FLIGHT STUDENT? Like the guys who flew planes into the two Towers, I imagine he was hoping for a quick trip to paradise!

Why was he not charged? You can bet he would have been had he publicly threatened Obama, Clinton or Sanders.
And why on earth are we still giving flight school student visas to foreign Muslims?
Custos Custodum says
The suspect’s “last name” El Sayed implies that his family claims direct descent from Muhammad, the inventor of Islam. This is a common conceit throughout the Muslim world.
[He spent much of his life in Saudi Arabia … This is most puzzling – as our “friends and allies,” surely the Saudis will be working 24/7 to teach Saudi citizens and residents proper respect for Americans and their institutions.
Custos Custodum says
BTW the article obliquely suggests that they found something else wrong with El-Sayed’s visa status.
Most likely, his (related) school and visa applications contained major lies supported by forged documents.

I’m glad to see the FBI and immigration working together to rid ourselves of this Muslim idiot ‘wanna be murderer. He hadn’t noticed that September 11th 2001 happened and there have been 27,000 Muslim attacks worldwide? If he would have got to Donald to make good on his threat and his dream to be worshipped by Muslims worldwide…and the FBI or immigration had taken no action …we would just be more politically correct idiots bowing to Islam. Send him back to country of origin. We are sick of being triffeled with by people such as him. Given great opportunities- only to piss them away in the name of their religion of peace – _and calls for killing still they insist Islam is soooo peaceful!

This is the sort of people Hilary Clinton and the Obama administration support they support terrorists as they are terrorist sympathersers. Egypt has declared the Muslim brotherhood a terrorist organisation so has many other countries except the USA who is working with them and encouraging them to reach power all because the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton who is using her own personal emails to communicate with Muslim Brotherhood. Terroist sympathersers Obama and Clinton.

tough ti** little buddy, THAT’S how we wanna roll here in the USA and for anyone who doesn’t understand that and is hyperventilating and looking for their “safe space”, perhaps now is the time to consider moving to the middle east country of your choice so that you can commiserate the outrageous injustice of it all!
Janet says
The fact that this guy is learning to fly in the first place makes me real nervous! So now he’s playing the victim card will he be invited to the White House? I realize that if a company does not provide a service to a Muslim person they will be in court on discrimination charges so you really don’t have much of a choice! A threat on social media of someone’s life has to be considered! Especially a high profile person! Just saying!

You are right Janet,l wish l were in the States now;given that opportunity,l would taken this boy out in a couple of days.

Secondly that Muslim brat from Egypt should be thrown in to a maximum prison facility or simply bundled up and thrown into the ocean,remember that Mohd Atta of 911 was an Egyptian and a Muslim and is presently burning in hell with his 70 demon virgins in very deep regret and gross pain.
Plamen says
Egyptian Sayid Qutb, parent, leader, ideologist of Muslim Brotherhood, also studied in America, in 1950s. Only to learn his lesson better. Not for transferring Western democratic practice in his country, rather to hate and kill it.
So did in 1950s in Germany Turk Necmettin Erbakan, father, leader and ideologist of their Muslim Brotherhood – like movement. Which rules his country to date.
Both were persecuted by Egyptian and Turkish secular authorities…
Myxlplik says
Apparently this guy is gone according to what I read on Michael Savages site. Essentially he was deported for what those who monitor this stuff call “chatter”. There is a lot of “chatter” coming from American, Western Muslims, and those visiting. I do believe a new precedent has been set.
Time to scour social media and its archives, the bar has just been lowered.
Hoekom Jy My Haat says
Why do we allow moslems into American flight schools, anyway? We don’t want any of them here, anyway? Know Islam, No Peace. No Islam, Know Peace.
