He has been arrested for possession of cocaine and consorting with a prostitute. That’s bad, but look, it could be much worse: Morton could still be a jihad terrorist, or he could still be working as an academic. From jihad to academia to coke and hookers: yes, Jesse Morton is a career criminal, but each stop on his path is slightly more respectable than the last.
“Islamic Terrorist Recruiter Hired By George Washington U. Has Been Busted For HOOKERS AND BLOW,” by Eric Owens, Daily Caller, January 26, 2017:
The former al-Qaida recruiter hired by George Washington University’s Program on Extremism to research effective methods to de-radicalize potential terrorists has been arrested for allegedly arriving with cocaine to what he thought would be a meeting with a prostitute.
The one-time terrorist recruiter is Jesse Morton, reports The Washington Post.
Police in Fairfax, Virginia arrested Morton, 38, during a sting operation conducted on Dec. 28.The sting involved an ad offering sex services placed on Backpage.com. Morton replied to the ad and then appeared at the Governor House Inn & Suites in Falls Church — “worn, but clean, comfortable, convenient.”
Upon arresting Morton on the motel premises, police searched him and his automobile. They say they found cocaine, a glass pipe and some other accessory for smoking crack cocaine.
The charges against Morton are possession of a controlled substance and residing in a bawdy place….
While attaining a Master’s degree in international affairs from Columbia University in 2007, Morton affiliated himself with radical Islamist groups in New York City. At the time, he went by the name Younus Abdullah Mohammad.Morton then started Revolution Muslim, a website and Youtube channel that would become one of the most prolific Islamic radicalization efforts in the United States.
Over the course of three years, Morton recruited countless terrorists. Eventually he fled to Morocco, where he was apprehended and extradited back to the U.S. in 2011.
Prosecutors described Morton as a foe of “the very freedoms on which our society is based.” They accused Morton of encouraging terror attacks against “South Park” creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker on the Revolution Muslim website.
Parker and Stone were enemies of Islam, Morton said, because of a cartoon which portrayed Mohammed wearing a bear costume….
George Washington University hired Morton as a research fellow for its extremism-focused think tank in the fall of 2016.“I hope I can deter just as many people as I recruited,” Morton told The Hatchet, the GWU student newspaper, in September. “I have deep regret and remorse from my time as an extremist. I cannot change the past and I can only work to rectify what I’ve done.”
Morton no longer works at George Washington. It’s not clear when he stopped.
His biography on the GWU website no longer exists. When the bio was available, it read: “After his incarceration in 2011, Morton de-radicalized, and today he rejects Salafi jihadi and Islamist ideology.”…

Great coverage when hired, no one noticed when or why he left – same as with fake anti-muslim hate crimes, where the press covers the reports of the alleged attacks in great detail but gives little importance to them being exposed as fakes (assuming they notice it at all)…

That reminds me of the early scene in “The Wolf of Wall Street.”

He will have to go back to doing jihad if he ever wants to enter Jannah. This is a very dangerous individual.
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM says
Never forget the deranged criminals of past who end up in Academia and other institutions of leadership:
Bill Ayers and his murder associated wife Bernardine Rae Dohrn
Barry Soetoro (aka BHObama).
‘Twill be interesting if Trump unseals Barry’s records.
Mac-101 says
I’d be happy if a official announcement would be made that declares Sheriff Joe and his 7 or 8 experts are wrong and his second presented Birth certificate was NOT photo shopped with about 8 layers or it was photo shopped. Either Sheriff Joe or Obama and their peeps need to be indicted for fraudulent official papers! How hard is dat?
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM says
I hear you dude!
Kathy Brown, Esq. says
Oh, so true Kaboom! In fact this little ‘hiccup’ will only enhance ‘Morton’s’ desirability as a professor at the stinkhole aka GWU.
Oh-and if this slimeball is convicted of these charges? He’ll get a parade, followed by tenure, just like his predecessor in crime, convicted cop-killer, Kathy Boudin: https://youtu.be/pZqXQI55Hvo
Oliver says
Two questions.
Question first- why the hell did the US bother to extradite him? Been cheaper, let him stay in Morocco.
Maybe he would have been killed there.
And, did he spend any money for the sex that he did not get?
Eric Jones says
Morton is just a sociio pathic con man who gravitated to islam because it satisfied his anything goes lazie faire nature. Do what ever you can get away with. Pretend you are no longer radical when you still are. SHow up in mosque on Friday and act pious. The rest of the week have illecit sex and drugs with kufar women. Its all good.
Meanwhile those who made the decision to hire him at George Washington may have had some type of vicarious identification with this, in thier mind ‘potent man’.
Put this bum away for a long time!

Deport him period.We do not want anyone believing in the Caliphate, Sharia, Jihad, Taqiyya and beheading let them move to a muslim country if any will take them.No one on earth likes muslims they are liars and frauds waiting to destroy every country they are allowed to enter.CAIR is a terrorist organization using lies to justify muslims, called Taqiyya.

One of the things I am most grateful for about Mr. Trump becoming President is that we will not have a de facto President, Huma Abedin, if Hillary Clinton should have won. I’m sure Abedin had her room and décor in the White House all picked out expecting to run the government for Saudi Arabia’s benefit. Saudi Arabia gave the Clinton Foundation/Clinton campaign $30 million and they expected something in return. I believe that that “Something” was Huma Abedin in a position of power.
Huma Abedin, not having been invited to the inauguration luncheon, was seen lurking outside the door waiting for her pal, Hillary. The last I read of her, she was still living in the same apartment as her husband, Carlos Danger, even though he is a pervert.
These are not nice people.

Friend of Maajid Nawas?

Who is Maajid Nawaz? What are his credentials? Is he a bonafide revenant? Where does he live?

islam attracts psychopathic scumbags.

Convicted al-Qaeda terrorist and George Washington U prof moves up from jihad and academia to coke and hookers
……………………
What–aren’t we going to hear how “moral” Islam is?
But I’d rather have them distracted by drugs and hookers than plotting the death of Infidels–better yet, I’d rather see this Jihad terrorist out of the country.
