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

Virginia Muslim “wanted to kill for Allah’s sake and be killed for Allah’s sake,” wanted to join the Islamic State to “chop heads”

Mar 20, 2016 9:31 am By Robert Spencer

“Farrokh said that he wanted to kill for Allah’s sake and be killed for Allah’s sake”: “Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (Qur’an 9:111)

“A Virginia man who allegedly said he wanted to join ISIS so he could ‘chop (off) heads'”: “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks” (Qur’an 47:4)

Islamic State beheading Kurds

“Virginia man admits to conspiring with ISIS terrorists, faces up to 20 years in prison,” by Dareh Gregorian, New York Daily News, March 18, 2016:

A Virginia man who allegedly said he wanted to join ISIS so he could “chop (off) heads” pleaded guilty Friday to conspiring to help the savage terror group.

Joseph Hassan Farrokh, 28, of Woodbridge, Virginia, admitted to his sick plan to “provide material support and resources” to ISIS at a hearing in federal court in Alexandria.

The feds said the Pennsylvania-born Farrokh started plotting with another man named Mahmoud Amin Elhassan in August of 2015 to join the Islamic State. Farrokh planned to hook up with the group in Syria, and then Elhassan would follow, court papers say.

The pair “spoke openly with each other” about “supporting violent jihad,” and “watched videos online that glorified terrorism in support of Islam,” court filings say.

They communicated partly via an app which they mistakenly thought “could not be detected by law enforcement,” court papers say.

They tried turning to like-minded kooks for help, and Farrokh got frustrated at the slow pace of the plotting, telling his friend “he had no patience and that he wanted to go right away and ‘chop their heads,'” court papers say.

One of the ISIS sympathizers they were put in touch with was an FBI source who Farrokh was initially suspicious of. “Farrokh suggested that they swear an oath that anyone working with the kuffar (non-Muslims) would suffer the curse of Allah. Farrokh swore that oath; he said that he was smiling during the oath because if he goes to jail as a result of the meeting he would feel good because it was for Allah,” court papers say.

“Farrokh said that he wanted to kill for Allah’s sake and be killed for Allah’s sake.”

He later took a pledge of allegiance to ISIS, and was arrested before he boarded a flight to Jordan, where he’d planned to make his way to Syria, prosecutors say….

    Good morning Dr. Spencer. In other news from the enlightened western world, the french lawyer of the Paris mastermind plans to sue for “breach of confidentiality.”

    Makes one’s blood boil.

      Happy Sunday my Christian friends. I was watching Tom Holland’s videos and documentary on youtube. What a fascinating tale by a wonderful historian. In one interview, an ignorant muslim bigot called and started lecturing in the way it is usual of these people. They’re so sure of everything. He asked Holland “were you there 1400 years ago, to talk about those things.” Well, neither were you, idiot. But Holland, being the academic minded person, kept quiet and let it go. Made my blood boil.

    More tax dollars to suck from the peoples. Wouldn’t it be better to hand him his flaming citizenship papers, just seconds before his parachuting into Syria?

    The fiendish jihadists who compose the brutal and deadly jihad entity ISIS murder Christians along with many other people.As far as ISIS jihadist savages murdering Christians, such an awful evil may be in described in the Bible . Which teaches “Bloodthirsty men hate a man of integrity and seek to kill the upright.” Psalm 29:10. Moreover, the callous characters who make up ISIS don’t stop at murdering Christians.They even go so far in their hideous evil that they even murder children. Those heinous affronts against Christians and children are also reflected in the Bible which reads “They band together against the righteous and condemn the innocent to death.” Psalm 94:21. In addition to all this extreme wickedness the villains of ISIS fiends go yet further in their ruthless evil to murder more people after murdering Christians and children. For they murder other people also and spread much blood and misery in the path in their mad Islamic quest of the jihad for the Islamic “state.” Such terrible viciousness is again reflected in the Bible about such hideous villains .Which reads Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and misery mark their ways , and the way of peace they do not know.” Romans 3:15-17. In conclusion, the curse from the Bible is upon those men of ISIS because of their brutal violence. For the Bible reads “May disaster hunt down men of violence.” Psalm 140:11 [N.I.V.]

    A word with Allah

    Farrokh
    — “Muslims kill for Allah’s sake”
    (your prophet was an obvious fake)

    — “When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks”
    (Muhammad was a perverted letch obsessed with sex)

    — “72 virgins to share your bed”
    (Sorry Farrokh, Muhammad is too busy fornicating Allah’s backside instead)

    I’m so tired of the headlines that read “American citizen”/French citizen/Canadian citizen etc. joins the Jihad” when it’s some second generation POS migrant whose parents moved west for all the freebies. Ya think maybe mom and dad weren’t too big on assimilating and junior got his lofty ideas from them and his chums in the Muslim ghetto?
