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

Bronx: Muslim with large knife collection and beheading videos charged with aiding the Islamic State

May 24, 2016 2:29 pm By Robert Spencer

“Back in the Bronx, Alimehmeti started stockpiling weapons, the feds said, including two steel spike knives, and Air Force survival knife, a ‘credit card sized folding knife’ and a ’24-inch survival pocket chain saw.'” Pious man.

“Bronx man arrested on terrorism-related charges, attempting to provide material support to ISIS,” by Victoria Bekiempis, Rocco Parascandola, and Dareh Gregorian, New York Daily News, May 24, 2016:

A Bronx man with a large knife collection and a penchant for beheading videos was arrested Tuesday morning on federal terrorism-related charges, officials said.

Sajmir Alimehmeti, 22, is charged with attempting to provide material support to ISIS and making a false statement in an application for applying for a U.S. passport.

Alimehmeti showed “a clear intention to support a terrorist organization that is hell-bent on murder and mayhem,” Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said.

Court papers say Alimehmeti, who also used the name Andul Qawii, kept ISIS beheading videos on his laptop, and would play them for guests or to get “motivated” while working out.

Alimehmeti had been trying to join ISIS since at least the fall of 2014, when he was blocked from entering the United Kingdom, court papers say.

Officials at Manchester Airport denied him entry after they found “camouflage pants and shirts, as well as nunchucks, in Alihmemeti’s luggage,” the complaint says.

The determined jihadist wannabe tried unsuccessfully to get into the U.K. again two months later through Heathrow Airport. Authorities seized his cellphone and laptop, which were loaded with pictures of ISIS flags, videos of bombings and propaganda, the papers say.

They sent him back to the U.S., and notified the F.B.I. of their disturbing find.

Back in the Bronx, Alimehmeti started stockpiling weapons, the feds said, including two steel spike knives, and Air Force survival knife, a “credit card sized folding knife” and a “24-inch survival pocket chain saw.”

He also bought a reversible face mask, handcuffs and gloves with steel knuckles, court papers say.

In the fall of 2015, Alimehmeti started meeting with another would-be jihadi, who was actually an undercover, court papers say.

He invited the undercover over to his apartment, which had an ISIS flag on the wall, and played him ISIS-produced music videos called “nasheeds.”

“One of the nasheeds showed ISIL fighters decapitating prisoners,” the complaint says, noting that Alimehmeti told the undercover he plays the videos “to keep him motivated while he is exercising.”…

He told the undercovers he wanted to join up with ISIS in Syria, and asked for helping getting a phony passport, because his name was “in the system,” the complaint says….

      Muslims are the most frequent users of porn. Remember Bin Laden’s extensive collection of porn discovered in his Pakistan-supplied safe house.

      Smut, degradation of ‘the other’ and violence go together in Islam. Islam is systemically misogynistic.

        Islam is the most violent, intolerant, misogynistic, and paternalistic religion in the world today, but most Western feminists will say nothing bad about Islam and will condemn any attempt to cut back on Muslim immigration. Apparently protecting women and girls from being raped and assaulted by Muslim men is not a priority for most feminists!

    He tried to get into the UK but his plan was thwarted by the authorities at Heathrow. Nice to hear they are on the ball for once!

    US needs to return to the death penalty for high TREASON!! We USED to put ppl to death for treason! Remember the Rosenbergs? For uninformed liberals, they gave/sold? our atomic secrets to the USSR! That is high TREASON! ? Short, thorough trial, and execution! No 20 yrs on appeal! These would be serious actions to stop this issue! He is Only here to wage was on us. LEFTY dangerous policies. We need more citizens to CALL YOUR REP, I HAVE TOLD MINE, THEY WON’T GET MY VOTE UNLESS THEY OPPOSE THIS!
    And defend my 2nd Amendment (and all the others) rights. Can’t wait til he is out of office. Worst PRES in my lifetime. Jimmy Carter’s 2nd term…
