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

Boston: Attorneys plan to reveal identities of agents attacked by Muslim hoping to “meet Allah” through jihad

Jul 17, 2017 10:51 am By Robert Spencer

“Federal prosecutors are fighting to shield the identities of FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force members who were involved in the shooting of suspected terrorist Usaamah Rahim two years ago for fear their names will be used by the Islamic State to inspire attacks in America.”

Why would defense attorneys want to reveal the identities of these agents? This will only inhibit others from fighting against jihad terrorists in the future. Which side are these attorneys on?

“Rahim told Wright hours before he was killed that he was abandoning a plan to go to New York City and instead would ‘go after’ the ‘boys in blue’ in Boston, saying he welcomed the opportunity to ‘meet Allah’ through ‘jihad.’”

He wasn’t planning to go to New York City to see the Statue of Liberty. He had been planning to go there to murder Pamela Geller for daring to showcase drawings of Muhammad — in other words, he was going to go there to enforce Sharia blasphemy laws. Instead, he decided to attack Boston police.

“As terror trial looms, prosecutors fight to protect identities of task force agents,” by Laurel J. Sweet, Boston Herald, July 17, 2017:

Federal prosecutors are fighting to shield the identities of FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force members who were involved in the shooting of suspected terrorist Usaamah Rahim two years ago for fear their names will be used by the Islamic State to inspire attacks in America….

Prosecutors are asking Young to bar Wright’s attorneys from asking witnesses the names of the police officers and federal agents who confronted and killed the knife-wielding Rahim in a Roslindale parking lot on June 2, 2015. Authorities said they believed Rahim, 26, planned to behead police on behalf of ISIS armed with the 13-inch fighting knife he was brandishing.

“In addition to being irrelevant, the public disclosure of the identities of Rahim’s shooters will likely be used by ISIS in their propaganda materials and calls to commit attacks in the United States,” Assistant U.S. Attorney B. Stephanie Siegmann wrote in her filing.

To illustrate her point, Siegmann said three months before Rahim died, “ISIS posted the names and addresses of 100 U.S. military service members on the internet and instructed their supporters to ‘kill them in their own lands, behead them in their own homes, stab them to death as they walk their streets thinking they are safe …’ ”

Wright, formerly of Everett, is accused of conspiring to provide material support to ISIS, conspiring to commit acts of terrorism and obstruction of justice.

The FBI recorded Rahim days before his death telling Wright over the phone, “I just got myself a nice little tool. You know it’s good for carving wood and like, you know, carving sculptures … and you know …”

Rahim told Wright hours before he was killed that he was abandoning a plan to go to New York City and instead would “go after” the “boys in blue” in Boston, saying he welcomed the opportunity to “meet Allah” through “jihad,” according to both court papers and an investigation into his death last year by Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley’s office. Conley ruled Rahim’s shooting was justified in self-defense….

    Surely, revealing the names of the FBI agents is an indictable offense. If not, it is time America’s judiciary and leadership made it seditious offense. I am not a lawyer; however, one does not have to be part of the Department of Justice or the legal system to deduce this is treasonous.

    There is no good reason to do this. No law says that the agents must be identified. If they were witnesses for the prosecution in the case of the guy on trial, it might be that the court would allow the disclosure , but only if not revealing the names would cause him not to have a fair trial.

    The only reasons they want to reveal the names…they wish to put fear into the other agents, causing many to quit, and to give terrorists the names of new targets.

    Some people may not terrorize, but they are evil in their designs.

    ……………..

    Appalling–this just puts those defending us from violent Jihad at further risk.

    Perhaps the names of these lawyers should be posted so decent, patriotic people can avoid them like the plague

    “… Which side are these attorneys on?…”

    Who’s paying them and how much?

    We need to find out the names and phone# of these lawyers and shame them publicly.

    Make this sort of legal scum aware that there is a price for terrorizing law enforcement officers and by extension the public.

    Seriously they should be Dox’ed because they aren’t playing by the rules but simply employing tactics that Mafia lawyers have used. They are filthy people that the public needs to be made aware of.

    Not to worry; The City of Boston just announced an anti Islamaphobia campaign.
