Rabbani “faces a maximum of six years in prison.” What will he do when he gets out?

“New York teen pleads guilty to non-terrorism charge in Islamic State case,” by Nate Raymond, Reuters, April 12, 2016 (thanks to Lookmann):

A New York City teenager accused last year of helping a college student plan an Islamic State-inspired plot to set off a pressure cooker bomb in the city has pleaded guilty to a non-terrorism charge of conspiring to impede federal officers.

Imran Rabbani, who was 17 when he was arrested in June, pleaded guilty on Friday in federal court in Brooklyn, a spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Robert Capers said late on Monday.

As part of a plea deal, Rabbani agreed to drop an appeal of a November ruling allowing him to be tried as an adult for a prior charge of conspiring to provide material support to Islamic State, said his lawyer, Richard Willstatter.

Rabbani, who faces a maximum of six years in prison, was one of six young men in New York and New Jersey charged last year in the investigation of a group of alleged supporters of Islamic State, which has seized control of parts of Iraq and Syria.

More than 80 people have been charged since 2014 in U.S. federal cases related to Islamic State, which has claimed responsibility for the Brussels bombings in March that killed 31 people and the Paris attacks in November that killed 130.

Authorities previously alleged that Rabbani, now 18, discussed with Munther Omar Saleh, a college student in the borough of Queens, plans to assemble an explosive device to set off in the New York metropolitan area.

In June, law enforcement followed the two men in a surveillance vehicle when Rabbani and Saleh got out of their vehicle and ran at the agents, prompting their arrest at gunpoint, authorities said.

The plea by Rabbani, previously identified only as “John Doe,” regarded only the June incident.

“My client is not a member of ISIS and never claimed to be a member of ISIS,” said Willstatter, using another name for Islamic State.

The other men in related cases in New Jersey have pleaded guilty. Nader Saadeh pleaded guilty in December to conspiring to provide material support to Islamic State….

    Islamic terrorism or as other might call the murderous violence of Islam’s militant jihad is bases on the instruction of violence and killing that is contained in the Koran. As found in ,for example, 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. Therefore to better see the whole picture of the Koran, So for a more full understanding of the actual nature of the Koran a person need to look back in time before the coming of Muhammad and then the Koran. Back to the First Century AD which was the time of early Christian church. For the Early Christian Church had and now in modern times the Christian church still has the Gospel of Christ, First Corinthians 15:1-4. Much later, in time, came Muhammad and he gave much information, that many believe to be divine, some of which is said to have been obtained from an angle from heaven. This information was written down on different objects and things Those written words in different objects was then compiled together and then eventually went into the composition of what is now called the Koran, As some also call it the Qur’an. The Koran is actually, that is in reality, another gospel, apart and greatly different from the Gospel of the Christian Church. Such a thing was predicted in the Bible. For the Bible does warn about those who will come and offer to people another gospel other than the one shown above, First Corinthians 15:1-4. For it is warned about any other “gospel” in the Bible. For it is written in the Bible “Though we or an angle from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so I say now again, if any man preaches any other gospel unto you than ye have received, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:8, 9. [K.J.V.] Therefore, the Koran is the result of the deception of a false prophet, Mathew 7:15., who may have come in contact wait a fallen angle, a demon, So the imams and mullahs who preach it a truth to other are accused of and by God.

    Perhaps he will not ‘get out of prison, perhaps he will meet with an accident and he can be with Allah everyone is then happy.

    Muslim :: Book 9 : Hadith 3506
    God did not send me to be harsh, or cause harm, but He has sent me to teach and make things easy.

    Bukhari :: Book 9 :: Volume 83 :: Hadith 21
    Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
    The Prophet said, “The most hated persons to Allah are three: (1) A person who deviates from the right conduct, i.e., an evil doer, in the Haram (sanctuaries of Mecca and Medina); (2) a person who seeks that the traditions of the Pre-lslamic Period of Ignorance, should remain in Islam (3) and a person who seeks to shed somebody’s blood without any right.”

    Bukhari :: Book 9 :: Volume 83 :: Hadith 3
    Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar:
    One of the evil deeds with bad consequence from which there is no escape for the one who is involved in it is to kill someone unlawfully.

    Bukhari :: Book 8 :: Volume 78 :: Hadith 667
    Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr:
    The Prophet said, “The biggest sins are: To join others in worship with Allah; to be undutiful to one’s parents; to kill somebody unlawfully; and to take an oath Al-Ghamus.

      The problem, Sham, is that to kill someone “Unlawfully” has no meaning because in Islam, “Unlawful”l killing is killing everyone who does not believe as you do, even another Muslim who veers from your path.
      It is “Lawful” to kill your own daughter or son or granddaughter or grandson, even your sister. There is only one whom you cannot “Lawfully” kill. Yourself.

    This is no more than a passing thought as I looked at the photo’ of the Islamists a few minutes ago – why do they find it necessary to keep their faces hidden? Are they that ugly? Again, just a thought.
