How many more Muslims like Abror Habibov are still operating?
“Uzbeki man living in Brooklyn pleads guilty to promising to bankroll ISIS wannabes,” by Andrew Keshner,
New York Daily News, August 29, 2017:
An Uzbeki man living in Brooklyn copped to charges that he tried helping a cohort make his demented dreams of waging international jihad into reality.
Abror Habibov pleaded guilty Tuesday to agreeing to bankroll a ring of ISIS sympathizers and wannabes who planned for Middle East mayhem but never made it out of New York.
Brooklyn federal prosecutors said Habibov — who operated a string of mall kiosks from Florida to Pennsylvania — pledged cash to Akhror Saidakhmetov, a Brooklyn resident from Kazakhstan, so he could buy a ticket to Turkey.
Saidakhmetov bought a $571 round trip from John F. Kennedy International Airport to Turkey, which was set to leave February 2015. The plan was to continue on to Syria.
Habibov also repeatedly promised money so Saidakhmetov could get a firearm, court papers said.
Authorities arrested Saidakhmetov at the airport. It’s not clear if Habibov’s cash came from his kiosk business.
Habibov admitted to conspiring to provide material support to a terrorist organization and conspiracy to use a firearm. “While doing these things, I knew it was illegal,” Habibov said….

Brooklyn: Muslim pleads guilty to agreeing to bankroll ring of Islamic State sympathizers
…………………
The shocking thing about this story is that I can’t even find such stories shocking any more.
Imagine if this had happened just twenty years ago? In this period, Muslims in the West funding our destruction have become commonplace.

That’s one of the things that worries me, gravenimage. The new normal in the West is Muslims behaving badly (as they have in Muslim-dominated lands since the seventh century) and people are just yawning about it. Bad idea to yawn about evil.
Always has been. Always will be. Always comes back to bite people in the butt.
Anne Smith says
Seems a bit stupid to arrest these people at the airport. Why not just let them go and meet their martyrdom in Syria or wherever? Then no-one has to worry about them ever again, let alone paying them welfare or keeping them in prison for years.

John byrne says
There are no Brooklyn Muslims
There are no American Muslims
Jurisdictional ties have no bearing on their agenda.
They are simply Muslims doing as instructed by the peodophile who started the whole cult.
