US judge says convicted jihad murder plotter can’t be deported to Pakistan

Apr 17, 2016 8:28 pm By Robert Spencer

He might be tortured there. We wouldn’t want the poor dear to get hurt. Did he ever have similar concern for his potential victims? Of course not.

Mohammed H. Khalid

“US judge says terrorism convict can’t be deported to Pakistan,” Business Recorder, April 17, 2016:

A Maryland man believed to be the youngest person ever convicted of US terrorism charges may not be deported to Pakistan because he would likely face torture there by government officials, an American judge has ruled. Mohammed H. Khalid, who legally moved from Pakistan with his family to suburban Baltimore as a young teenager, was arrested in 2011 at age 17 as part of the failed “Jihad Jane” conspiracy to murder a Swedish artist who had committed blasphemy.

Khalid pleaded guilty to terrorism charges and co-operated with the FBI more than 20 times, teaching US agents how to combat online jihadists, records show. But when his five-year sentence concluded late last year, US officials sought to deport him to Pakistan, a move his lawyers said would likely subject him to torture.

“This is a huge victory – immigration judges do this in one percent of the cases when someone argues they will be tortured if sent home,” said Khalid’s lawyer, Wayne Sachs of Philadelphia. In his decision, Immigration Judge Michael Straus wrote that Khalid “would more likely than not be tortured by government officials if returned to Pakistan.” The ruling is dated April 8, but another lawyer for Khalid, Jeffrey Lindy, said it was not made public until late Friday.

A spokesman for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement was not immediately available for comment The judge also cited Khalid’s diagnosis of Asperger’s Syndrome, an autism disorder that can affect focus and communication skills. The judge wrote that Khalid “fears his lack of eye contact and social cues would cause the Pakistan government to believe (he) is hiding something, leading to more torture.”…

    He would likely face torture there? He will be hailed a hero!

      Actually, not so much a Hero since he collaborated 20 times with Anti-Terrorism G-ment Agencies.

        Ask all the Presidential candidates and Congress members running for re-election this important question – Why are we allowing immigration from Muslim countries like Pakistan and Somalia where support for jihad against the infidels, and barbaric and misogynistic sharia law are popular? There is no good answer to that question!

        You’re too gullible–it’s the defence saying that. They might have got the info–whatever value it is–out of him anyway.

      Idea: Deport both the judge and the jihadi

    And that would be terrible. Have him serve his time in Guantanamo

      We have the same problems in the UK, but here we’re tied to the wretched EU bill,of human rights, which appears never to take the victim’s sufferings into account. IE – the perp. is always in the right & favoured!

    “fears his lack of eye contact and social cues would cause the Pakistan government to believe (he) is hiding something, leading to more torture.”…

    In the photo above he is looking at you.

    Love his beard.Yes, he is hiding something.

    Does not speak well for the actions of a GREAT American ally the Government of Pakistan.

    Is anybody in the US administration talking to the Government of Pakistan and saying we are great friends please give us an assurance that you will not torture him when we return him?

    If so, was this evidence provided to the court?

    He will be considered a hero of Islam in Pakistan and recruited by terrorist groups.

    Hopefully immigration department will appeal this.

    This is disgraceful. He should be deported. Any time anyone is convicted of terrorism they should serve their time and be deported along with their whole family. Why are we allowing immigration of Muslims from countries that hate us???? Pakistan would never torture him. They would give him a hero’s welcome!

    Poor Muslim after what he went through he should stay here so he can be successful killing some of us in his next jihad attack.

    We as a nation are not that much different from Europe. We are a on suicide mission big time.

    “He may be tortured if sent home…” The only thing I have to say is this: he should have thought of that before committing murder!

    The West’s legal system can not deal with this. The asymmetry is astounding. We have fair trials, innocent until proven guilty, lawyers, juries, case law,… They have immediate execution, heavy physical punishment based on the decision of the Imam, lying and misdirection, the West as an enemy.
    They have us by the balls.
    This is no way to fight a war.
    We are doomed.

    Give him a choice to leave Islam or die.

    To test that he indeed left Islam he should:

    Declare publicly that Muhammad was a criminal.
    Then draw a picture of Muhammad right on Quran’s first page.
    Then put some bacon on it and burn the whole thing while being videoed.

    To criminal libertine leftists, all victims and offenders are exactly the same: “victims!”
    Therefore, everyone now gets endless rights without any responsibilities – CAPISCE?

  13. Ross A Lloyd says

    Apr 18, 2016 at 3:58 am

    BS! You either shoot him as an enemy combatant or deport him and send the complicit judge off with him… This war!

    We give Pakistan many Billions of dollars every year, but we cannot deport Pakistani criminals to Pakistan?

    The West is allowing Saudi Arabia and the UN to write our immigration law. This is insane.

    So, he “was arrested in 2011 at age 17 as part of the failed “Jihad Jane” conspiracy to murder a Swedish artist who had committed blasphemy.”

    I don’t recall that case, did the Swedish artist say that mohamad was a true prophet in the line of Jesus and Moses?

    Did he say that God rewards murders and paedophiles?

    Or might he have suggested that God was a deceiver who likes to punish and torture His children?

    Perhaps he called islam a real religion!

    What is this ‘blasphemy’ that required a 17 year old to attempt murder?

      Info about the Jihad Jane case here:

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colleen_LaRose

      She doesn’t have the excuse of being born Muslim – she’s a convert. She’s in prison and due for release in 2020, and is apparently is still loyal to Islam.

      • WorkingClassPost says

        Apr 18, 2016 at 6:14 am

        Thanks, P, but I wasn’t being entirely serious.

        This whole convert thing is very interesting though, because the koran is only supposed to be read in Arabic, I wonder how many nominal ‘Muslims’ have the faintest clue as to what is actually in the stupid thing, they just rely on their imams to preach their own favoured passages.

        Is this why converts who read translations turn so quickly to violent hatred?

        It’s certainly why the Saudi mosks, with their authentic islam, are such a threat to everyone on this one Earth that we all need to share.

    Has the US State Department been notified about this ruling that the Pakistan government tortures people? Surely this would cause the US to have second thoughts about sending money….or not. Is there an OIC nation that hasn’t used torture?

  17. Nabi says

    Apr 18, 2016 at 4:48 pm

    LefTwit judges are one of the West’s biggest problems. They bend the law to their personal bias (I’ve personally seen one decide opposite to a very clear and explicit law just because he didn’t like it). Until they create chaos, they answer to no one in most western countries.

  18. Jaladhi says

    Apr 18, 2016 at 8:06 pm

    This judge is a fool!! The jihadi in Pakistan won’t be tortured – more like;y than not he will be given a hero’s welcome. It’s amazing how Muslim terrorists fool American judicial system.
