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

Jihad terrorist enjoys Rosetta Stone classes, Strawberries n’ Creme Oreos at Gitmo

Feb 13, 2018 5:31 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

The U.S. military’s Guantánamo Bay detention center is continuously rewarding an al-Qaeda jihadist-turned-prosecution witness with a “comfortable cabin-style” life of luxury that allows him to garden, paint, exercise, learn English on a personal laptop, cook meals, and even watch American sitcoms, reports the Miami Herald.

Courtesy of the infidel taxpayers, and the fine menu includes: “lamb, rabbit, chicken, shrimp and other halal meat”.  All the while, jihadists view unbelievers as the “vilest of animals” (8:55) and losers (3:85).

Blame Western leaders for the advances made by Islamic supremacists and jihadists, who are treated royally while executing their expansionist plans against against infidels and their societies,  even while incarcerated for murder. From the Canadian apology to Gitmo detainee Omar Khadr and his 10.5-million-dollar gift for getting roughed up a bit, to some Strawberries n’ Creme Oreos, these jihadis have it made. Let’s not also forget the attacks and action against anyone for being “Islamophobic” for offending Islam by criticizing the barbaric deeds of jihadists and Islamic supremacists.

“Report: Terrorist Boasts Rosetta Stone Classes, Strawberries n’ Creme Oreos at Gitmo”, by Edwin Mora, Breitbart, February 12, 2018:

The U.S. military’s Guantánamo Bay detention center is continuously rewarding an al-Qaeda jihadist-turned-prosecution witness with a “comfortable cabin-style” life of luxury that allows him to garden, paint, exercise, learn English on a personal laptop, cook meals, and even watch American sitcoms, reports the Miami Herald.

Ahmed al Darbi, 42, told the Herald that he evolved from being “a lying, feces-flinging prisoner with a bad behavior record in the maximum-security” segment of the detention center to a “cooperating witness now cloistered in Camp Echo, an annex of the prison compound across the street.”

The Miami Herald article came soon after U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on January 30 to keep the prison open and use it to house newly captured terrorists, which he vowed to do when campaigning for the presidency post.

According to the newly signed executive order, “The United States may transport additional detainees to U.S. Naval Station Guantánamo Bay when lawful and necessary to protect the Nation.”

Referring to the U.S. military rewarding the al-Qaeda terrorist for snitching, the Miami Herald reports:

Darbi has his own kitchen with a freezer stocked with meat and spices, and other never-before-disclosed perks to pass his time preparing to testify as a witness for the war court prosecutor in two cases, one that seeks the death-penalty.

The prison provides him with lamb, rabbit, chicken, shrimp and other halal meat … Darbi has a plethora of quality-of-life accommodations provided by the prison, interrogators or the prosecution. Cilantro, cumin and cloves to cook with using a hotplate, blender, and microwave in his kitchen; treats like Strawberries n’ Creme Oreos, baklava, Turkish delight, and a pecan pie; a garden where he said he was growing what sounded like the ingredients for ratatouille—eggplant, tomatoes, zucchini and green pepper. Papaya too, he noted.

Snitching also earned the al-Qaeda jihadi “a personal laptop computer equipped with Rosetta Stone software to learn English; oil paints, canvas and special brushes; a PlayStation 3 and, by request, some interrogators rented for him old episodes of the situation comedy ‘Arrested Development,’ now available on Netflix,’” reveals the Herald.

Darbi pleaded guilty to playing a role in the 2002 al-Qaeda attack on a French oil tanker in Yemeni waters that killed at least one person.

In 2017, he testified against the alleged mastermind of the attack, Abd al Rahim al Nashiri.

The Guantánamo facility, also known as Gitmo, still houses 41 detainees, including 26 who the U.S. government has deemed “forever prisoners,” or too dangerous to release, and five approved for transfer by American officials.

Former President Barack Obama failed to keep his promise to shut down Gitmo.

Although Obama managed to reduce the prison population from 242 prisoners held at the time he took office in 2009 to 41 now, his Republican predecessor ended up releasing many more detainees during his tenure—500-plus.

As part of a plea agreement reached during Obama’s time in office, American authorities are expected to release Darbi on February 20 to a Saudi rehabilitation program if diplomats and U.S. Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis approve the deal.

Late last year, the Trump administration indicated that the commander-in-chief will make decisions on whether to release detainees still held at Gitmo “on a case-by-case basis.”….

    I suggest that Mr Darbi be tied up & Allow a couple of Wild PIGS gnaw a bit on him. After all, Wild PIGS like Halal Meat, too
    Mr. Darbi apes his master, Muhammad, so let him experience the same fate as the “Historical” Muhammad. We
    have WILD PIGS in Florida that would relish a Halal Meal a La Darbi!
    Forget about all the Niceties, Guys, Darbi deserves to be the MAIN COURSE at Club Gitmo. Darbi will “literally” talk his Head Off!

    The prison sounds like a nice summer camp ,lets take away the finger paints , the game boy the computer{good for calling for and watching Jihad} the the vast menu I think bread, water and cheese is halal enough a menu . Replace the garden and Gym with breaking rock under the hot sun .The rest of the time he could be in solitary ,with the only visitors professionals to ask him questions. Tell him because he help us in finding some terrorist his reward is will not execute him as per he is guilty of a terror murder himself. If the Saudis want him say we will hand him over when they let churches and Temples open in their country ,and the Saudis stop financing terror world wide.

      You forget, this guys is a snitch: the lowest form of life. He is buying this King Saud lifestyle with the blood of his comrades in arms a la Stalag 13. At the same time, he is betraying his religion. You can’t get much lower. In my opinion, we are getting a good deal because in return we are sending his friends to the great Muslim whorehouse in the sky. They are being released from Gitmo the right way. No reeturnign to he battlefield to kill our troops.

        Richard, After he has given what information he has (if he is really providing anything useful), General Mattis should announce to the world with glowing praise that he has provided such great information to us and then drop him in the Afghanistan hills. The Taliban would probably give him a real welcome with a bullet or maybe a rope.

    Time to put these people in front of a judge and jury and then get rid of them. Why pay more money for their sorry asses?

    He should also be given additional privileges and perhaps a reduced sentence if he watches, studies and passes test on materials like the following:

      They can break halal when it suits them.

      They only whine about it when it allows them to demand things from the kuffar and make them bow to their wishes like dhimmis.

    First of all this our tax money and I bet that the American military does not eat so well. I would put a dog outside of each cell and enclose the fence with an outer one and put wild boar between the fences much like in the old times with creatures in moats surrounding castles.

    I am surprised that these thugs haven’t been provided with their four wives and a couple of slave women to make them feel at home which I think would be ok if I were to choose the slave women. Gillibrand, Mrs. Clinton, Joy Reid, Pelosi, Cantwell, Feinstein, Barbra Walters, Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg and other like minded ladies would be a good start. In fact forget about the four wives, these thugs deserve these lovely ladies who fight for their cause on a daily basis.

      Ye gods, you’re great!!! They would be praying for death more than five times a day. Talk about “cruel and unusual punishment”.

    Don’t we have some old unused facilities on Adak or Kodiak that would be more suitable to house these people. Provide them barracks with wood stoves, firewood, and a fence to keep out the bears.

    • Ray Jarman says

      Feb 14, 2018 at 3:22 am

      Dale, Are you serious? Why keep out the polar bears unless you think the prisoners would make them sick? In the same vain, I have long opted for the UN to be removed from NYC and relocated in Greenland. I am sure that parking would be no problem and I bet that what evil they are conjuring up behind Marc Chagall’s glass would done quickly and saving everyone money and they could tell the world about global warming.

    …………………..

    And yet, too many idiots in the US and the rest of the West think that Gitmo is some sort of chamber of horrors, and award Jihadists huge settlements when they get out for their “pain and suffering”. Insanity all around.
