The judge let him swear by Allah in the courtroom, thereby honoring and validating the ideology that moved him to plot jihad mass murder in the first place.
“Akron terrorism suspect pleads guilty, agrees to serve between 15 and 20 years in prison,” by Eric Heisig, Cleveland.com, April 18, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
CLEVELAND, Ohio — An Akron man has agreed to serve between 15 and 20 years in federal prison after pleading guilty Tuesday to federal terrorism-related charges.
Terrence McNeil, 24, is accused of posting files on his social-media pages in 2015 that contained the names and addresses of people believed to be members of the military. Included in the files were messages encouraging others to kill those people, according to the FBI.
He did all this to support of the Islamic State, a terrorist group also known as ISIS or ISIL, prosecutors said.
McNeil entered into an agreement in which he has agreed to serve between 15 and 20 years in federal prison. He pleaded guilty to five counts of solicitation to commit a crime of violence and five counts of making threatening interstate communications.
If U.S. District Judge Dan Polster accepts the plea agreement, he must sentence McNeil within that range. The judge will sentence McNeil on Aug. 2….
When Polster asked McNeil during Tuesday’s plea hearing to raise his right hand swear that the testimony he was going to give was the truth, McNeil said he could not do so, according to a recounting of the hearing.
“I only swear by Allah,” McNeil said, according to the recounting.
“Well, I’m not asking you swear under any God, alright? If you want to swear under Allah, you can do that. I didn’t put it in that form, but if you’d like to take the oath in that form, that’s OK,” Polster replied, according to the recounting.
The judge then asked if he swore “under Allah,” and McNeil said “sure,” according to the recounting….
McNeil used several social-media websites to profess his support for ISIS, prosecutors said. A file he posted Sept. 24, 2015 on his Tumblr page had the header “Islamic State Hacking Division,” followed by “Target: United States Military” and “Leak: Addresses of 100 U.S. Military Personnel.”
The file is a .gif, which allows multiple images to be looped. The text of the first file encouraged people who saw it to kill the military members “in their own lands, behead them in their own homes, stab them to death as they walk their streets thinking that they are safe…”, prosecutors said….
LilyDarcey says
I do not understand what the attraction to islam is for black people, and why they are converting in droves, since islam was the founder of slavery and brutal mistreatment of blacks. They are nothing but useful tools/puppets for islam.
Michael says
Lily, I think that if you like to brutalize people, if you are perpetually angry … if you feel you have been a victim (whether or not you have been; the extent to which you have been, these are facts no one can determine in a case like this; the left has created and fed a victim mentality, where people who have amazing opportunities, see themselves as victims, oppressed, brutalized) … then Islam offers many opportunities to brutalize, to say the least.
And their anger will only be stoked to a greater and greater feverish pitch. And soon enough, whatever humanity was left in them, will be blacked out by the pure evil of Islam.
If you want license to succumb to your murderous impulses, no holds barred … Islam welcomes you.
LilyDarcey says
Well, a concerted effort should be made to educate blacks, as well as progressives about the true islam. Blacks need to be taught about Islam’s true history with blacks.
Terry says
To LilyDacey;
in my view, talking to a wall will get you a larger and better response then trying to talk to the liberal/progressives and the blacks who feel that they are victims–a point consistently made to (many) blacks.
LilyDarcey says
I know. I can pray for a miracle that they will be enlightened. Oh to dream!
gravenimage says
Blacks have been told that Christianity is a “slave” religion, but Islam is not–despite Christianity’s role in abolition. Most of them know nothing about Islam and the slave trade. And then, some have swallowed the idea that Islam was their “original” religion–even though Muslims would not, in most cases, have sold them into slavery if they had been Muslims and not “filthy Infidels”.
Most American Blacks are Christian–but there is definitely a violent minority who have embraced Islam.
LilyDarcey says
I agree with you.
Dave Flang says
Hello, what is the definition of a “Christian”?
Mine is, anyone that has the living FREE gift of God by Faith alone in Jesus Christ.
This Was Your Life
Benedict says
Some people want to be feared by their hate, rage and resentment and these qualities are magnified considerably if given a transcendental character, so these converts use Islam for that purpose while being used themselves, as you notice. It’s mutually beneficial for the puppet and the puppet master.
The indictment of Islam as an ideology is, that it willingly employs such puppets, since they are in full harmony with the tenets of Islam.
Maxine says
Just like many are useful tools for DemoRats! go figure.
Jeanette says
Both groups want to destroy the West; both have no level below which they will not sink while they accomplish the destruction of the West.
They have so much in common.
Liz says
Racism drove them to it. And for any white whose racist actions have forced black Christians to turn to Islam, God will demand his/her blood from such white.
Jeanette says
No non-Muslim has forced anyone to join the cult of rape, murder, torture, kidnapping, slavery. We have yet to see or hear of a black with a gun held to his head by a non-Muslim, who is telling him that if he doesn’t join Islam he will be shot.
The fact that members of the group that is so loud about slavery a couple of hundred years ago is now joining the group that was providing the blacks’ ancestors as slaves back then would be funny if it weren’t so dangerous.
Maxine says
Typical liberal snowflake! Blame the white people!
LilyDarcey says
We have Condoleezza Rice, Dr. Ben Carson, Colin Powell, Clarence Thomas, Wall Street Journal’s Jason Riley, who wrote his best-seller book, “Please Stop Helping Us: How Liberals Make It Harder For Blacks To Succeed.”, and then we have Herman Cane, and the list goes on of black conservatives, who were born into either poverty or barely middle class families. The people I mentioned chose not to be kept on the liberal dumbocratic slave dependence plantation, and they owe it to how they were raised. They key here, is that they were given a moral compass, and faith by their parent(s), and they were taught discipline, respect and compassion. Their parents certainly didn’t wallow in the “poor me, I am black, and all the whites are against me.” They grew up with racial discrimination, but because of the solid moral foundation they were given by their parent (s) they do not have the hatred and bitterness that many of the liberal Black Lives Matter blacks. Heck, I am a conservative minority myself, and believe me, I grew up under racial discrimination, but I do not judge the entire white race or other ethnic groups by the racist actions of a few. My parents raised all 6 of us children the same way the other conservative minorities I mentioned were raised. They taught us that as Americans, one can be anything they choose, if they work hard enough. We were not taught to sit on the pity pot and say ” poor me, I will have to rely on the government for support, because as a minority, it will just be too hard to make it in life thanks to those who discriminate against me. Our lives are what we choose them to be. My parents also taught us to accept people as humans, and to judge them by content of character rather than race or color, after all, when we stand before God, he will judge us by the content of our character, and not color of skin or race. Why do liberals refuse to understand this!?
Terry says
Liz,
I am so glad to know THAT YOU KNOW WHAT G-D WILL DEMAND.
DO YOU HAVE A PRIVATE LIEN TO THE DIVINE ONE?
And, in modern day US, blacks are (in general) as racist if not more so than most whites.
And the Black Lies -crap-more black hoods are killed by BLACK AND HISPANIC COPS THAN WHITE COPS.
just pass'n thru says
@liz–haaha you are stupid. My white race never forced any black to turn to islam. Its a mental illness with them-the blacks- they were born to burn in hell…….
Michael says
RCH, the parallels you draw between them are very, very similar. I know you don’t paint all blacks this way. And I know that what you say has immense truth.
I don’t remember the senator, back in the 60s, who warned at the time of the coming collapse of the black family. I think, unfortunately, as the fatherless rate in black families has risen dramatically, so, too, has the rate of fatherless rate in white families. It has all spiraled downward, across the board, led by the rate in black families.
As far as your description of Muslims in Islamic lands? And Muslim immigrants in European countries? You are spot on, of course. Concise and powerful description of it all. Thank you.
Jeanette says
Don’t worry; only the snowflakes won’t look at the statistics!
nita gassen says
good point. i believe the conversion was introduced by malcom x in prisions.
LilyDarcey says
Malcom X’s early life is a good example of blacks coming from a really dysfunctional life, and becoming easy prey to islam as he did. Boy, his Childhood was such a mess.
gravenimage says
Not all Black people are like this.
Terry says
Decades ago, when I was in rural Tennessee, every Sunday the KKK would parade- and the members (in their sheets and hoods) would stop and speak with the blacks, they would shake hands, etc. ONCE I asked a KKK person why-if he is in the KKK and hate blacks—-etc.
His answer, the KKK was basically a social club; the community was small (it was); many worked in the same places; had the same issues, etc.
Terry says
RCH to continue–when I was-just before I left- rural Tennessee, a young white man (a teen, I think he was like 15 or so) committed suicide.
I went to the funeral- and about half the people there were blacks-including his black schoolmates. (And, they seemed to be crying the hardest-next to his family).
With blacks-I think it depends upon where they are-in the big cities, you are right (not 100% of the time, but often); in smaller communities- less antagonism. Less racism on all sides. Also, income and education levels matter. That has been my experience.
The Great Society also made the situation worse, not better. That helped destroy the black family.
Frank Verderber says
In Hebrew, an older Semitic language than Arabic, ‘alah’ means, curse. So it is true that McNeil did sware. The sad thing is, many of these wannabe Lawrence of Arabia types really don’t understant who or what they are living and working for. Isalm has a way of seducing the bitter, the resentful and those who are ignorant and looking for a few minutes of fame.
LilyDarcey says
Have you seen the video clips of terrorist camps in the US. The predominant race, besides Arabs are blacks, who have been misguided into believing islam was their religion of origin until the white man came along with Christianity. A massive scale of educating them to the truth, needs to be launched.
Terry says
LilyDarcey–back when I was in college-I had dinner with one of the deans ( who was also my adviser, and a WW2 veteran, with many medals for heroism, etc).
His view- the generation ( then- now this was late 1960’s early 1970’s) of blacks then (adults-over about 20 or so) was lost; the hope was to get to the children-even those in high school and college.
Billions upon billions have been spent- and the situation for (many) blacks is worse- they keep voting for the handouts (IE. Newark; New Orleans; Chicago- all large black populations; all controlled- and have been for decades- all have horrendous poverty and crime rates.
Candidate Trump said ” Vote for me, what have you got to lose” and he was blasted by the ” black leaders”, Jackson, Sharpton; NAACP head, etc. And when he met with members of the Congressional Black Caucus –one of them criticized him for saying that, and then -gave Pres. Trump a 130 or so page book OF WHAT HE SHOULD DO.
Meanwhile, Maxine Waters, who-in my view- should probably be in prison for bank fraud ( during the financial crisis- which was exuberated by Dem policies- another topic) said that she WOULD VOTE AGAINST ANY BILL THAT TRUMP SUPPORTED.
SHOWS TRUE INTEREST IN HER PEOPLE.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
If Terrence McNeil does prison time for this, he’s got a sure ticket into Jannat, the Islamic porno heaven. Before that, he’ll probably have some hot sex in the big house too, but of the hidden pearl kind. That’s why the cops call prisons Pokeys.
PRCS says
I’ve learned so many things, here at JW.
Terry says
Perhaps, and without waiting as long, he will do an Aaron Hernandez.
And save the government some money.
In fact, I would not be adverse to seeing all Muslim prisoners, in all prisons, doing an Aaron Hernandez.
(Even though, as far as I know, he was not Muslim).
Jeanette says
Wouldn’t that be convenient?!!!
mortimer says
He swears by Allah??? Yes, he swears that he will … kill the military members “in their own lands, behead them in their own homes, stab them to death as they walk their streets thinking that they are safe…”.
WHAT A MODEL CITIZEN of BERZERKISTAN!
Michael says
It seems rather bizarre to allow him to swear by the one who wants him dead, by the one who sanctions lying, who sanctions every form of brutality imaginable and yet to be imagined. I would think this judge has no idea what Islam is, or who Allah is.
mortimer says
The US needs a prison like Guantanamo or like Devil’s Island where the violently BERZERK can spend their lives isolated from the public and other prisoners and not recruit or encourage others into JIHADISM.
All Western countries need to develop advanced protocols to DEPROGRAM these dangerous, ticking timebombs RIGHT OUT of Islam. Only that will remove the homicidal rage from their hearts.
Michael says
I don’t know that we have the resources, the time, the will, or anything else it would take to deprogram Muslims.
I think ‘de-activate’ might be the more prudent, cost effective, necessary program.

Yup…
Michael says
I wonder if he swore ‘by Satan’ if the judge would have said ‘oh that’s fine. by whomever.’ Because that is who he effectively is swearing to or by. I’m thinking the judge would have said no ….

Probably so.

Swearing by allah… probably won’t work because…allah’s anti-Semitic angel jibreel only responds ….to arabic.So allah most likely won’t hear it.allah always needs things to be translated into for him(..unlike Almighty God)
Let’s ask GOD..
{You can use ANY language you like}
Q Hey God is it OK if I swear by allah
G No
Q Do you mind if I convert to islam and is it OK if I go on the rampage and kill infidels,as the koran suggests?
G Are you nuts??Of course you can’t kill people like that:Sixth commandment.Read it!
Let’s ask allah..
{You can ONLY speak in arabic because allah,the great arab sultan in the sky,only communicates in that tongue.And for God’s sake don’t use Hebrew;allah will be furious.And don’t mention the Jews;it makes allah very angry}
Q Hey allah is it ok if I swear by allah?
allah Yes
Q Do you mind if I convert to islam and is it OK if I go on the rampage and kill infidels,as the koran suggests?
allah why of course.Sure .. knock yourself out.Slay them wherever you find them.
Q But allah,what about the Sixth Commandment?..(and in fact the 7th/8th/9th/tenth which for some reason you failed to list in an enumerated form in your koran,the most perfect uncreated book)
allah The sixth… what now?..oh..that.. no..that only applies to the people of the book,those Jews and Christians.God’s commandments don’t seem to apply to us.
Yes it’s a great big theological mystery isn’t it?Why I disagree with God…
Now where’s my angel jibreel?Fighting with the Angel Gabriel again is he?
Michael says
lol … FYI that is funny!!!!
Terry says
6th Commandment is NOT ” THOU SHALL NOT KILL”. IT IS ” THOU SHALL NOT MURDER”.
KILLING IS PERMISSIBLE IN CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES–LIKE WAR; TO SAVE ONE’S OWN LIFE, OR THAT OF HIS FAMILY, ETC.
IT IS WANTON MURDER THAT IS FORBIDDEN.
There was, centuries (or more) ago, a bad translation -hence some places show it as “kill” rather than “murder”
underbed cat says
A muslim only follows sharia laws., so swearing him in a U.S. court on the Quran seems like our courts have become a participant to terror.
Michael says
exactly. he’s swearing ‘truth’ to the ‘god’ who commands lying to the enemy! and the ‘god’ who wishes death upon all those in the court, including the judge! it’s absolute lunacy!
“I swear upon Allah, who commands me to lie to you infidels, to tell the truth — so help me Allah to lie convincingly through my teeth!”
Would the judge care if he ‘swore upon Satan’ to tell the truth? because that’s effectively what he swearing to — every dark and evil force that exists.
Darryl Kerney says
He “agreed to serve” 15 to 20 ?????
Like he has a choice in the matter ?

Behead them .. in accordance with their tradition
UNCLE VLADDI says
Re :”The judge let him swear by Allah in the courtroom, thereby honoring and validating the ideology that moved him to plot jihad mass murder in the first place.”
The Qur’an clearly and very specifically tells muslims the Bible is wrong and also that all Christians and Jews are infidel criminals who worship a false god, and who must therefore be extorted, enslaved, and murdered for their “crime” of not being muslims:
Sura (Chapter) 47:1-4 of the Qur’an:
1: non-muslims are bad, (allegedly because they insult allah by dividing his nature*);
2: muslims are good, (allegedly because to them allah is the cause of everything*);
3: Allah made them both like that;
4: So muslims should chop off the non-muslims’ heads.
(“Allah could have done it himself, but he wants you muslims to do it for him”).
…
It’s all right there, in context: islamic violence is entirely general doctrine-driven, and not at all specific grievance-driven.
(And chapter 47 isn’t by any stretch even remotely the worst, most violent chapter; that honor goes to either chapter 8 or 9; 9:29 demands all non-muslims be fought, extorted, and enslaved because they don’t believe in Muhammad’s ‘allah’).
That is, the Qur’an demands muslims wage offensive war – not in self-defense – but because of others’ “disbelief!”
So don’t go looking for what actions of yours may have offended or provoked them; they have been taught from birth that your existence alone offends their god, and so should offend them.
Muslims have been officially taught to believe that they are the “best of people” (Qur’an 3:110) and that unbelievers are the “most vile of created beings” (Qur’an 98:6).
——-
*[Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority: their abode will be the Fire: And evil is the home of the wrong-doers! (3:151)].
…
So, if and when you consider islam to be a religion, you must agree with it’s main tenet: that God is a violent murderer who wants his muslim tribe to violently conquer the world by extorting, enslaving, and murdering all the non-muslim humans, right?
At WORST, all REAL religions only say:
“Obey our silly rules, or GOD (/’the gods’) will get you!”
…but ONLY islam says:
“Obey our silly rules, or WE will get you (‘for god’)!”
A forced ‘Faith!’ ISN’T a “Faith!” at all – it’s only extortion, and extortion is always a CRIME.
Bottom line: Muslims must be told straight out, unequivocally: “If you decide to believe in “allah,” you have declared yourself a criminal, and so must be arrested, indicted, tried and convicted. Your confession of “faith” in your crime-god will help us to do so.”
