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

New York City: ISIS recruiter convicted for sending Muslim college student to wage jihad in the Islamic State

Jan 30, 2017 3:31 pm By Robert Spencer

“To grow their brand of hate-filled violence and radicalization, terrorist organizations like ISIS need facilitators and promoters around the world.”

How do they find them? By appealing to Muslims as the caliphate, the sole legitimate government for Muslims on earth, and presenting themselves as the foremost exponents of Islamic authenticity. Meanwhile, mainstream Western analysts wave all this away and insist that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam. This is a dereliction of their duty to understand the enemy, which is a prerequisite to defeating it.

“ISIS recruiter convicted for sending NYC college student to Syria,” by Kaja Whitehouse, New York Post, January 30, 2017:

A Manhattan federal jury on Monday convicted an ISIS recruiter who helped send a Baruch College student to Syria — and ultimately his death fighting for the terror group.

Ahmed Mohammed el Gam­mal was pronounced guilty on all four counts of providing and conspiring to provide material support to ISIS and for aiding and abetting the receipt of military training from the terror group.

El Gammal, wearing a lilac sweater and matching collared shirt, listened stoically as the verdicts were read….

El Gammal made arrangements for Baruch student Samy El-Goarany travel to Syria through Turkey in February 2015, and introducing him to people who helped him join ISIS, prosecutors said.

El-Goarany was killed in action in November 2015.

“To grow their brand of hate-filled violence and radicalization, terrorist organizations like ISIS need facilitators and promoters around the world,” Bharara said. “And the jury found today that Ahmed Mohammed El Gammal was one such terrorist facilitator.”

El Gammal, a 44-year-old resident of Avondale, Ariz., faces up to 55 years in prison.

He had celebrated ISIS victories on social media going back to at least 2014….

    I’m telling you, we need to back Quranists. They are the solution. You can’t expect hundreds of millions of people to give up their religion. But you can support and encourage them to espouse a peaceful version of it. As long as we fail to support Quranists (they reject the Haditha and interpret the Koran to mandate peaceful behavior), they will fall victim to hardliners whose power is threatened by their message.

      The problem with quranists is that they don’t have much to stand on. The quran by itself is contradictory and incomplete. It’s no accident or coincidence that the sirah and ahadith make up for a much more voluminous collection than the quran.

        So’s the New Testament. They can reconcile inconsistencies how they like, and we can support them in their peaceful efforts.

      For one thing, C T, there are very few Qur’an-only Muslims–this is not at all orthodox.

      And then, rejecting the Hadith only helps with a few matters, like the stoning of women.

      The Qur’an itself is hideously ugly, and includes such verses as the Sura of the Sword, which says “And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the Infidels wherever you find them”–it’s hard to consider *that* peaceful. The Qur’an is full of exhortations for Muslims to conquer Infidels and force them to submit to Islam.

      Then there is the problem of the perfect man of Islam, the “Prophet” Muhammed, who was a pedophile, a slaver, a rapist, and a mass murderer–and no Muslim rejects Muhammed.

      But even if this were not so troubling, there is also the problem that Qur’an-only Muslims are still regarded as apostates. Qur’anists Ahmed Subhy Mansour was exiled from Egypt and had to seek asylum in the United States. Rashad Khalifa, the leader of one such group, was assassinated by his more orthodox coreligionists in 1990. Twenty-seven Qur’anists were arrested in 2015 when they were discovered. There are other such stories.

      Between these two issues, I’m not at all sure why you consider this a solution to the problem of Islam.

    Why prison time on taxpayers money. Send this trash to Syria. Probably he will be killed in action within a year like his recruit.

      Better still, give him a lethal injection!

      Couldn’t agree more. Perhaps it’s a pity he didn’t send more of his chums out there before he was arrested.

      The Russians would have polished them off.

    I agree with marina- send him to Syria.

    I would also go further- ANY AND ALL WHO WANT TO JOIN ISIS, OR HEZBOLLAH- CAN GO.

    Give up their citizenship or green card. And cannot return. And they should take their families with them.

    Possibly give them $500 or so traveling money.

    Cheaper in the long run, even the short run.

    ……………….

    And yet, Mayor de Blasio still thinks it is a good idea to have hordes of ravening Mohammedans flood into New York City.
