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

SC Muslim arrested trying to join ISIS was arrested for jihad mass murder plot in 2015

Apr 2, 2017 6:33 pm By Robert Spencer

He was sentenced to six years in juvenile detention 2015 for the earlier jihad plot, but was recently paroled. Did the parole board determine that he was no longer a risk to wage jihad? Apparently. But what was done while he was in juvi to disabuse him of his jihadist beliefs? Nothing at all, of course. To have attempted such a thing would have been “Islamophobic.”

An update on this story. “S.C. man arrested for attempting to join ISIS had previous arrest in 2015 plot,” WCSC, March 31, 2017:

CHARLESTON, SC (WCSC) – An 18-year-old Ladson man appeared in federal court Friday following his arrest on charges he intended to join ISIS.

Zakaryia Abdin was arrested at the Charleston International Airport Thursday night, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Lance Crick. Abdin was arrested by special agents of the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force before he boarded an outbound flight.

Abdin is accused of attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, a designated foreign terrorist organization, Crick said. The charge is based on Abdin’s alleged attempt to travel overseas to join the terrorist organization, he said.

Sixteenth Circuit Solicitor Kevin Brackett said Abdin, whose family is from Syria, was charged in 2015 with being in possession of a firearm unlawfully.

He was 16 at the time he was charged in that incident, Brackett said. He said reports on his arrest in 2015 did not identify the teen because he was a juvenile.

The investigation revealed Abdin had been talking with a person in North Carolina and was planning to use one or two firearms to rob a gun shot to get larger weapons, Bracket said. Those larger weapons would then be used to attack a North Carolina military installation, investigators said, adding the pair planned to leave the United States and go to the Middle East and join ISIS.

Brackett said Abdin could not be charged with a federal crime in the 2015 case because of his age. But Brackett said his office worked closely with law enforcement to seek a strong sentence.

“In court, we explained to judge the gravity of the offense,” Brackett said. “We were deeply concerned about the safety of the public if he got out.”

Brackett said Abdin told the court he was troubled, that his father had died, and swore this was an isolated incident, adding he had just been confused. He promised they wouldn’t hear from him again, Brackett said.

“Everybody hopes that people learn the error of their ways, you want to hope and believe it was a one-off, isolated incident, that he’s moving on with his life, becoming a productive member of the community,” Brackett said.

The judge sentenced Abdin to the maximum punishment, an indeterminate sentence that would keep him behind bars until his 21st birthday, Brackett said.

Abdin served time at the juvenile justice facility in Columbia but was paroled a few months ago, Brackett said. He said he and York Police Chief Andy Robinson had strong objections to Abdin’s parole….

    See his soul through his eyes…he is dead of soul and conscience due to islam, beast from satan.

      Yes, somehistory–these Muslims always have dead “shark eyes”.

    Well, this is just idiocy–but it is dangerous idiocy we are seeing all over the West.

      Judges are supposed to use guidelines and recommendations at the very least when sentencing.
      It seems though that when they find that the person is moslim and acting on islam, they cease to think, either about guidelines, common sense, what is best for the community and the criminal.

      It’s as if the judges see, “Oh as a kid you ate soup with a spoon? No harm in that. Oh, and you learned to lie to the police and that you have to kill people? Well, you can’t help what your parents told you. No harm done.”

      It is madness and probably will get much worse before it gets better.

      • somehistory says

        And parole boards think more about how full are the detention facilities than they do about who is dangerous to the community.

        • mortimer says

          The parole board members have probably not studied the jihad doctrine or taqiyya doctrine.

    Detained jihadists should all be deprogrammed right out of Islam by an advanced deprogramming protocol involving the best and latest scholarship to completely debunk Islam. When Islam is not credible, jihad is not credibile.

      Deprogramming only works if the person wants to leave . It’s been tried in the EU with very poor results .

        High velocity lead deprogramming reduces recidivism to zero.

        He is either a traitor, or he is a foreign terrorist. Either way, firing squad.

        I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t have any problems finding the volunteers in the military for them any time they catch one of the bastards.

    Kiss Them Goodbye!

    Let us use some logic for a change!

    Our prisons are becomin a veritable training ground for jihadists. Every terrorist we capture becomes two or more terrorists during their prison term.

    Instead oif holding “radicalized” muslims back, encourage them to go fight for ISIS. It will reduce our problems at home significantly and it will stop the constipation of our Courts.

    Then never let them come back in our nation again.

    Muslims have to go back to their own countries where they can fight it all out between themselves.
    We should not enter their countries. Christians should leave those countries and we should leave them totally out of it, until they realise that you can not live by overpowering this world by murdering, raping etc..As the world has passed the Equinox, people have to learn to live peacefully together. Winton a few decades they will have to change their attitudes, if they refuse that and stand by their ideologies , they will be taken out and will be put on another planet and are getting to go through the same cycle earth is in now for as many years as earth existed until now. We all continue in a advanced consciousness on this same planet, but in peace, as we all realised that this planet can not continue like this and worse things could happen, because if wars start now, we will destroy ourselves and normal people don’t want that, and even when they pray on all the streets, it will not help you, because when you pray to a God and prophet to destroy and oppress people and murder, stone, rape etc. is against the Universe. You could do that for a long time, but those times are finished as most people want peace in this world and there are more people in the world that want that, so you will always be in the minority, although you
    threaten us all the time with all kinds of oppressions. And at a certain point, you will be put to that choice, and I can only hope for you that you make the right choice and that people will forgive you as it is written in the Christian Bible.
    Among you there should be someone who knows this too, and how do I know this all? Because I AM.

    Why do the American courts arrest the fellows like him. Let them go and fight. But take away their citizenship….don’t let them return, but they can live in Muslim countries for the rest of their lives!

    Dennis, agree completely. Let the inbred idiots go to fight for isis, take away their citizenship and hope they never try to come back to the West by letting other Western countries know the status of these idiots.

    First of all though, when it comes to these idiots being jailed in Western countries DON’T allow muslim imams to come in and preach to these jailbirds. DON’T cater to their halal diets (cruelty to animals) they eat Western food or they starve!!! DON’T allow them access to the internet because this can also radicalize the idiots by seeing isis barbaric beheading vids. And, as they’re doing in the UK, DON’T renovate toilet areas because they “face the wrong way’??!!!

    These muslim jailbirds are CRIMINALS and they should not be given special privileges. Govts are seen by muslims as being very weak when they give in to their demands in this way and, of course, this makes them push that much harder!!!

    The West must draw a line over which they should not allow themselves to be pushed. muslims have realized that the West no longer has the will to fight for its people and way of life — this is why we’re being taken over. If they are conditioned to the fact that any wrong doing will be punished by deporting them and their relatives to an Islamic country where they should be “at home”.

    All this goes back to the HISTORY OF ISLAM: muslims try to emulate mo; illiterate, marrying cousins, barbaric, etc. etc. The reason for the Islamic migration thing is because of the illiteracy of muslim countries. An uneducated population cannot keep its country strong. They strip Western countries of their resources, rely on non-muslims to support them and when that country has been totally ruined they move on.

    Look at Israel, it should sink into the sea from the weight of all the Nobel Prizes won by Jews in science, medicine and innovation. Thank God for them!!! muslims and anti-semites should think about that or perhaps its jealousy that brings on all this hate .

    Was quite hot-under-the-collar about this item, having this little rant has made me feel better. Thank you

    And he didn’t grew out of it? Imagine my surprise…

    He looks very feminine and will no doubt be popular in prison, maybe that’s why he’s in such a hurry to get back. Being an openly gay Muslim could cause him problems, this way he can say it was against his will.

  13. Singh the Sikh says

    Back to the original question – why allow such scum or their parents into the country, to breed such traitors, in the first place and bring all the grief upon the country and put citizens lives and limbs at risk. Not to mention all the expenses – security, deradicalization programs, welfare payments, schools, unis, medical, etc. The investment just doesn’t pay off. All they want to do is murder kafirs and bask in their suffering. Muslim immigration brings no benefit – just death and destruction. So put an end to the madness. Let them rot in their shithole countries because they will never be grateful.

    Robert Spenser the time has come that YOU need to be drafted to Apprise Judges Prosecutuers Sheriffs Chiefs of Police and Newspaper Editors the nature of Islamists Islamic Jihadists and what makes them a different type of enemy. A short expose on CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood may bring them all up to speed. Lastly we need to update the Federal Criminal Code.
