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

Minnesota: Muslim who stabbed two in “act of Jihad in the way of Allah” gets 15 years prison dawah

Feb 18, 2018 11:07 am By Robert Spencer

Does Judge Kerry Meyer really think that Mahad Abdiaziz Abdiraham is going to emerge from prison in eight or ten years reformed and ready to become a loyal, productive citizen? What is going to be done while he is in prison to disabuse him of his jihadi aspirations? Absolutely nothing. In fact, his beliefs will be reinforced by prison officials who will give him a Qur’an and encourage his observance of Islam. He is likely to spend his time in prison engaging in dawah, proselytizing for Islam, and recruiting and training new jihadis. He will probably get out of prison a more convinced and dedicated jihad terrorist than he already is.

“He decided to ruin somebody’s life because of his beliefs,” said Jesus Millan, the victims’ cousin.

Yes, and Minnesota authorities are intent upon bringing more and more people with those same beliefs into the state, and brand anyone who thinks that is a bad idea a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe.”

“I don’t care about Allah and I don’t care about anybody’s beliefs, we all bleed the same color,” Cynthia Leon said.

Watch out, Ms. Leon. Talking that way will get you publicly shamed as an “Islamophobe.”

“Sentence Handed Down to Man Who Pleaded Guilty to Mall of America Stabbings,” KSTP, February 16, 2018 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur):

The man who pleaded guilty to stabbing two men at the Mall of America last November was sentenced Friday.

Judge Kerry Meyer ordered Mahad Abdiaziz Adbiraham, 20, to 15-years in prison. With good behavior, he could be paroled in 8 to 10 years.

Authorities said Abdiraham stabbed two brothers – 19-year-old Alexander Sanchez and 25-year-old John Sanchez – in a dressing room at the mall’s Macy’ store.

In the statement read by his attorney following his guilty plea last month, Abdiraham said he went to the Mall of America to answer the “call for jihad by the Chief of Believer, Abu-bakr Al-baghdadi, may Allah protect him, and by the Mujahiden of the Islamic State.”

The statement added, “I understand that the two men I stabbed know and have explained the reason for my attack, and I am here reaffirming that it was indeed an act of Jihad in the way of Allah.”

He declined to make an additional statement at the sentencing Friday. At the end of the hearing, Abdiraham raised the index finger on his right hand, a gesture ISIS militants use to identify themselves, according to experts.

The victims’ aunt responded to Abdiraham’s reasoning for stabbing her nephews after the sentencing Friday.

“I don’t care about Allah and I don’t care about anybody’s beliefs, we all bleed the same color,” Cynthia Leon said….

“He decided to ruin somebody’s life because of his beliefs,” said Jesus Millan, the victims’ cousin.

    God, you get so tired of that finger pointing upwards to ‘Allah’. With this they signalize their ‘higher cause’.

    Makes you just want to break the whole damn finger to show them how much respect you’ve got for this.

        Goldhorn?

          Gjallar being the Horn sounded for Ragnorok.

          Would presume that Mortimer is thinking it to be a horn of gold.
          (I won’t assume, perchance of making an ass out of u and me…)

          He could’ve named you “Olifant” …by that reasoning.

          Scholar Rudolf Simek comments that the use of a horn as both a musical instrument and a drinking vessel is not particularly odd, and that the concept is also employed with tales of the legendary Old French hero Roland’s horn, Olifant. Simek notes that the horn is among the most ancient of Germanic musical instruments, along with lurs, and, citing archaeological finds (such as the 5th century Golden Horns of Gallehus from Denmark), comments that there appears to have been sacral horns kept purely for religious purposes among the Germanic people; understood as earthly versions of Heimdallr’s Gjallarhorn, reaching back to the early Germanic Iron Age….

    Hey Minnesotans and hey prison officials of the west…..with this POS coming your way to join lots of others, FACE REALITY and decide what business you’re in.

    You can take millions of dollars entrusted to you by the citizens and use it to operate a jihad training facility, where Muslims like this guy go and get subsidized for years to indoctrinate a criminally-skilled population in the techniques and justifications for their next round of sociopathies.

    Or you can isolate this poison, protect the society that pays your living, and give these Muslims their time alone with Allah.

    Which will it be? Dawa Hilton, or protection of society?

      The selling out of future generations continues with this cockroach of a human being getting out of the joint in 8 years from now.
      But the left primary focus is to feel good about themselves, so the importing of these muslim animals feigning victimhood into our towns and cities will continue on, unabated, no doubt.

      Don’t forget that the Catholic League and Lutheran Brotherhood were in competition back in the 80s and 90s, racing for $25K per head for each Somali imported and put on welfare. Plus they got the sanctimony.

        The refugee resettlement industry is a wicked business, and all funded by us taxpayers.

        With their perpetual refugee status, we’ve got Somalis coming out of our ears, seemingly with no end in sight, thanks to that virtue-signaling appeals court judge, now.

        The USRAP needs to be disbanded, and the whole asylum program needs to be scrapped.

        These people are being invited here to kill us. This is real.

          I know of a Muslim family who wants to become Christian and give up this violent religion. But there is nobody to support them. Instead money is poured into creating animals out of human beings. If you spend your money in wrong areas you will get the wrong results.When Jesus said love your neighbor it dis not mean love who is against you and support him and his ideologies. Jesus in next parable explains who is a neighbor. It is not someone condemns you or passes on without any concern. A Muslim when he converts is a very big deal. The whole world is against him and how will he even earn his living in a hostile atmosphere? What have these people thought about rehabilitating such people who disown violence?

        “15-years in prison. With good behavior, he could be paroled in 8 to 10 years.”

        That’s how foolish the system is when it comes to reforming Soldiers of Allah…
        They will show themselves to be on good conduct — performing taqiyyah — all the while with the end goal in mind….to get out and cause more mayhem all in the name of their fated faith.
        And….all the while waiting and biding their time, they convince other fellow convicts about this faulted logic of such folly.

    • Gjallarhornet says

      Feb 18, 2018 at 1:12 pm

      EDWARD DE FONZO: We care. As I see it, the fight is not on the streets. It’s it beating this monster within the framework of the law. And truth is, the laws are in place. We just lack the will to use them. So —- the fight is to change public opinion enough so that the policy makers obtain the public support to *act*. Once they have that – they will, or else they’ll be kicked out of office, their worst nightmare.

      So what can WE do? Convince people! Jugde each person you are discussing this with on a scale where you judge how susceptible the person is. People who are afraid to criticize islam in fear of retribution? Show them they can speak out without fear! A muslim leaving islam? Help him out, give him a hand, he needs your help, be patient with him. A politician? Let him know – if he is islamofriendly – that you will not vote for him, neither will any of your friends. Don’t waste time discussing with SJWs or Salafistis, these people are lost. Concentrate your effort in your habitat, in church (for those who go there), in school, at work, on getting the right people convinced. Show them what to read. Stay away from facebook, or discussing with people who will just mark you out and report you. . Hide your intentions to people who report ‘islamophopes’ – lie to them, say your are a big fan of islam and hate the west.

      Make an opinion beforehand in a conversation who you are talking to. If the person seems not hostile to the message or you, set in the push, in an adequate form.Once the enough public support exists, the scales will tip.

      All this we can do. And we will! In fact, we *are* doing it now. Just had a hell of a meeting winning peole over yesterday! Good luck to you, and good luck to us all!

      These Christian ex-Muslims are very brave. Their witnessing to Muslims is not “deprogramming” them, though–and many will resist.

      Mortimer, your claims that all Muslims can be reliably “deprogrammed” by state programs still, I’m afraid, does not hold water.

    Does it have to be a Hilton? That name has got too much play.

    Can’t be a Marriott, they are LDS and far too conservative and mainly oppose jihadism.

    Perhaps we can utilize Ramada instead, it seems more apt.

    The Ramada name derives from the Spanish term rama (meaning “branch”). Temporary structures called “ramadas”, made of brush or branches (similar to an arbor)… Company websites commonly refer to the structure as a “shady resting place”.

    SHADY alright.

    Also, TEMPORARY!

    Probably derives from Arabic via Spain….you know, “al-Andalus”…. Ha !

    The Somalian civil war has been over for 12 years, yet Somali “refugees” continue to arrive. They came in their highest numbers, of course, during the last year of President Obama’s administration in 2016, fully one decade after the civil war ended.

    Why are we still accepting “refugees” from Somalia?

    Minnesota is part of “the North”, indeed.

    Is Minnesota considered West enough?

    ===============

    “Code of the West”:

    1. Live each day with courage
    2. Take pride in your work
    3. Always finish what you start
    4. Do what has to be done
    5. Be tough, but fair
    6. When you make a promise, keep it
    7. Ride for the brand
    8. Talk less and say more
    9. Remember that some things aren’t for sale
    10. Know where to draw the line

    (Cowboy Ethics, James P. Owen, Stoecklein Publishing and Photography, 2004)

    Louis L’Amour described it this way in the introduction to his novel, Riding for the Brand:

    “The term ‘riding for the brand’ was an expression of loyalty to a man’s employer or the particular outfit he rode for. It was considered a compliment of the highest order in an almost feudal society…a man was rarely judged by his past, only by his actions…Much was forgiven if a man had courage and integrity and if he did his job!”

    (Riding for the Brand, Louis L’Amour, Bantam Books, 1986)

    Now, contrast this definition with the “hired hand” of John 10.

    “The hired hand, who is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and runs away—and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. The hired hand runs away because a hired hand does not care for the sheep.”

    (John 10:12-13, NRSV)

    As Leon Morris notes in his commentary on the Gospel of John, “The hired hand runs away not fortuitously, but because he is what he is, hired. His interest is in wages, not sheep. He is not deeply concerned for the sheep. He is not involved in their situation. His passions are not aroused. The interests of the sheep are not a lively concern for him.”

    (The Gospel According to John, Leon Morris, William P Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1995)

    The hired hand is in it for the money, for the paycheck, period. Not so, the individual that rides for the brand.

    Red Steagall has written a poem about the historic Waggoner Ranch and an old-cowpoke named Jake schooling the new hand about the unwritten laws of the range:

    “Son, a man’s brand is one special mark,

    It says “This is mine. Leave it alone.”

    You hire out to a man, you ride for his brand.

    And protect it like it was your own.

    He said, “Mister Waggoner come out here in 1903,

    This country was sagebrush, mesquite trees and sand.

    He carved this ranch out of blood, sweat and guts,

    So be proud that you ride for his brand.”

    (Riding for the Brand, Red Steagall, http://www.cowboypoetry.com)

    BE IT ENACTED BY THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA That… should an individual be found guilty of the crime of terrorism against the citizenry of the United States of America and if said citizenry is harmed in any manner by wound or death said terrorist will face an automatic death penalty.

    Oops…..I Fear that such a law would bring out, in full frontal force, the ACLU and all the other do gooders and of course all the Islamic organizations that be….so we will continue with this fiascos and U.S.citizens at home and abroad will continue to bleed die in a war of which we have no control…AND IT IS A WAR on our very existence as a free constitutional country.

    Would the death penalty stop all terrorism? Doubtful! Doubtful that is, until LAWS are passed to address the sickness in islam

    • TrailRider says

      Feb 21, 2018 at 5:53 pm

      If the crime is proved to be true, why can’t the person who committed the crime be sent back to the country from where he/she came from. They’re not Am. citizens are they? I know it would be an expense, but it would be better than keeping him fed in a prison, only to be set free to do it all over again. Do these people work for a living or is the country giving them welfare and keeping them free of any obligation on their part? They have a different mind set, they are the fox in the hen house!!
