“Mr. Saleh is sincerely remorseful, and he is committed to making amends,” says his lawyer, Deborah Colson.
Saleh himself wrote in a letter to the judge: “I am sorry for my shameful behavior.”
Non-Muslims can only hope that he is sincere in this, because he will be out on the street again in sooner than 18 years, and if he has been practicing Muhammad’s dictum “War is deceit” in these expressions of remorse, the consequences then could be explosive.
“College student is jailed for 18 years after helping ISIS plot a pressure-cooker bomb attack on New York City,” Dailymail.com, February 7, 2018 (thanks to the Geller Report):
A college student will serve 18 years in prison after he admitted to plotting a bomb attack in New York for ISIS.
Munther Omar Saleh, 22, admitted to scheming to help the terror group hit New York landmarks, including the Statue of Liberty.
He was sentenced on Tuesday in federal court in Brooklyn.
The 22-year-old pleaded guilty last year to charges of supporting terrorism.
As part of his guilty plea, Saleh admitted that he had sought to communicate with and support the group and assaulted a federal officer.
Prosecutors said he escorted a co-defendant to an airport for a planned trip to join the Islamic State group overseas (the co-defendant was arrested before he could join the group), researched how to build a pressure-cooker bomb and discussed potential landmarks as targets with an Islamic State recruiter.
‘I’m in NY and trying to do an Op,’ Saleh told a confidential source in an intercepted conversation, according to court papers.
Later, Saleh charged, while armed with a knife, at a federal officer who was watching him, prosecutors said.
‘Saleh attempted to turn our city into a staging ground for violent attacks,’ William Sweeney, the assistant director in charge of the FBI’s New York field office, said in a statement.
Brooklyn US Attorney Richard Donoghue said Saleh’s sentence would deter ‘those who contemplate waging violent jihad in New York City at the direction of a foreign terrorist organization.’
Saleh’s lawyer, Deborah Colson, said her client was relieved that the case was concluded.
‘Mr. Saleh is sincerely remorseful, and he is committed to making amends,’ she said in an email.
Saleh, an American citizen, was a college student when he was arrested in 2015.
His case was linked to five other conspirators in New York and New Jersey.
At least four of them have also pleaded guilty.
In a letter to the judge earlier this year, Saleh said he was drawn to the Islamic State group because he saw it as an ‘Islamic resistance movement’ amid the Syrian civil war.
He said he became alarmed and ‘started exercising very bad judgment’ when he noticed law enforcement following him.
‘I am sorry for my shameful behavior,’ he wrote.
In March of 2015, a police officer observed Saleh on successive days on foot at the George Washington Bridge – which connects New Jersey and New York – seemingly looking around, court papers said.
The behavior prompted officers to interview Saleh, who denied sympathizing with Islamic State and also granted them permission to examine his computer, authorities said.
Investigators found the computer contained Islamic State propaganda, according to court filings.
Saleh’s father defended his son, saying that it was a misunderstanding and he had been set up by informants.
The father said Saleh had been conducting simple internet searches….

You are tightened e lee…….
Prisons are a breeding ground for terrorist. I think there should be separate prisons for terrorist…maybe they should be turned over to the military…after all they are militants fighting for the army of their non existent allah.
J D S says
Don’t know where “tightened” came from ….should have been “you are right elee.”

All should be sent to GITMO.
Santa Voorhees says
All should be sent to their 72 virgins.

The best way to show he wants to make amends to remove himself from the free world. Go to the islamic $h!thole of choice ( I don’t mean Sweden) and never come back.

To another planet..
OR ……… “something” else IT ?
DHazard says
You are so right. And thanks for the laugh about Sweden. Too bad there isn’t an island just for Islamic murderers and wannabes. No internet, no phones, just one set of clothes, a knife and lots of Qurans.
Make that two islands, one for men and one for women. The islands would be about a mile apart and the men’s island would be provided with one set of binoculars.
Then film it using drones and make a TV reality show about it – Survivor for Muslims.
“Episode One: Binocular Time”: The men spend the day arguing over who gets to use the binoculars instead of looking for water. Later, the guys who know Arabic demand more binocular time in exchange for translating the Quran.
“Episode Six: You’re not a real Muslim”: The men split up into several groups after arguing about how old Aisha was when Muhammad first gave it to her. The Salafi gang takes control of the binoculars resulting in bloody skirmishes, leaving half the men dead.
“Episode 12: Dinner Time”. One of the 16 remaining men kills a small mammal that nobody can identify. Another fight ensues over whether the creature is halal or haram. On the women’s island someone has figured out how to make a burka out of grass while the rest of the women bicker over whether Allah will forgive them for eating the plentiful shellfish.
“Episode 17: Which Direction?”: The women finally agree on which direction to pray and line up some rocks in the shape of an arrow. They drop to their knees and thank Allah that the island is nowhere near the setting place of the Sun.
“Episode 21: Hellbound”: Accusations fly when 3 of the men don’t seem all that interested in the binoculars and instead have been “exploring” the island together.
On the women’s island divisions arise when most of the women choose the palm leaf hijab over the grass burka.
“Episode 23: Telescopic Mayhem”: A previously hidden telescope is found by the women who quickly realize the men are looking at them with binoculars in one hand and something else in the other hand. The grass burka becomes more popular.

There already exists such an island which is filled to the brim with CCTV and where muslims rule supreme. It’s called the UK.
Save Europe says
Yes. I’m so very sure that so many Americans will be reassured by his snivelling faux-apology!
Eur says
Deport them all.
Guy Forester says
Me thinks this whole story stinks. This is another wonderful example of viewing terrorism as individual criminal acts perpetrated by the unhinged or criminals. Surely, people with otherwise normal intelligence could not or would not do such a thing.
Meanwhile, the state sponsors of this asymmetric warfare against the US go unidentified and unimpeded in their quest to destroy us. And most of our MSM and politicians seem to be content with this.
Emilie Green says
Since Muslims are permitted to lie to the infidel if done to serve Islam or to protect themselves (both wildly expansive justifications), do you believe this guy is sorry?

Jayell says
No.
Indiana Tom says
Yes, he is sorry that he was not successful in his Jihadi play plans.
No 72 virgins for him.
mortimer says
Agree with Emilie. There are SIX DIFFERENT WAYS of deception that are permissible in Islam:
1•Taqiyya (Shia) or Muda’rat (Sunni): tactical deceit for the purposes of spreading Islam.
2•Kitman: deceit by omission.
3•Tawriya: deceit by deliberate ambiguity.
4•Taysir: deceit through facilitation (not observing all the tenets of Sharia by ‘making things easier’).
5•Darura: deceit through necessity (to engage in something “Haram” or forbidden such as drinking alcohol to exploit non-Muslims).
6•Muruna: ‘flexibility’ or temporary suspension of Sharia to make Muslim migrants appear ‘moderate’ and blend in until Muslims numerically strong enough to enforce Sharia.
Muslims imitate Allah ‘THE BEST OF DECEIVERS’.
Allahu khayru l-makireena – Koran. 3:54; cf. 8:30
– “Taqiyya permeates almost all the activities and dealings of Muslims with non-Muslim societies…” – a former sheikh Sam Solomon
Since there are so many ways that Muslims may deceive, it is foolish to accept anything a Muslim says without verifying it.

“Wasn’t Expecting That” song by Jamie Lawson….
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was only for a while…
It resulted with them becoming wild.
I wasn’t expecting that !
Just a brief refugee tryst
From the land that they missed…
How else to be expecting that ?
~
Did we misread the sign?
Now your land used to be mine…
I wasn’t expecting that !!
You entered my bed
You chopped off my head…
I wasn’t expecting THAT !!!
~
Your stay wasn’t meant to last;
We thought you were just passing through.
If I ever get the nerve to ask:
“What did we get wrong to deserve refugees like you?”
I just wasn’t expecting that !!!!
~
There were only two words;
We thought we had misheard…
I wasn’t expecting that !!!!!
“Allah Akbar” blew in my ear;
As a month turned into a year.
I wasn’t expecting that !!!!!!
~
We thought mutual respect would last.
Your animosity was supposed to remain in the past.
Oh, if I ever get the nerve to ask:
“Was I such a dhimmi to fall for someone like you?”
I really wasn’t expecting that !!!!!!!
~
Mosques are so strange.
How much life has now changed.
We are outnumbered, mile after mile.
It was only to be a fling;
It wasn’t supposed to have changed a single thing.
How did it ever come to this?
Oh, Hell, …my old life I now miss.
~
If only we never took this chance…
But we wanted a romance.
We had only expected that.
Time doesn’t take very long.
Suddenly what we knew now is gone.
I wasn’t expecting that !!!!!!!!
~
When the imams over-came,
They said, “We’ve come back again!”
I wasn’t expecting that !!!!!!!!!
We all had closed our eyes.
The West was taken by surprise.
Few of us expected that ——-

OFF TOPIC, BUT STUNNING!!!
========================
Here’s something from Germany, utterly unbelievable for this to actually occur, and in then Western Europe – and in Merkel land on top of that! And no, I am not making this up, here’s the background:
An Afghan colonist has murdered an Afghan women who had converted to Christianity, worked as a tailor, had integrated, spoke German, etc. She also worked as an (unpaid, honorable translator for “refugee care”) On the 29th April 2017 he murdered her in front of her two children at a supermarket where he sneaked upon her. He stabbed her at least 16 times. He was in such a frenzy that it took several people to force him down, including a police man who was per chance present. He used a butcher’s knife and attacked from behind whilst she was putting her shopping into the basket of her bicycle.
Motivation: Hatred of Christians and Christianity. Stunning, no? The motive known and made public!
Now get this: HE GOT LIFE!
————————————–
And the court ruled in such manner and stipulations that it is unlikely for him to get out after 15 years of ‘good behaviour’. His defense of course announced that they will go straight into revision.
And that in Western Europe, in Germany! Instead of a reward (compensation) or a joke sentence, he got life, in the true sense of the word.
For German speakers, it’s on Junge Freiheit, here’s the link: https://jungefreiheit.de/politik/deutschland/2018/mord-aus-christenhass-lebenslang-fuer-asylbewerber/
For non-German speakers, go there and just have a look at the pic of that piece of filth, he had to be chained during trial…
PS: ‘Glad I could share some (relatively) good news – barring that the basis for this is a horrible murder… Ahhhhrrrrggg FU..KKKK ISLAM!
gravenimage says
I had heard about this hideous crime. Glad to hear the Jihadist actually got life in prison.
Phil Copson says
“I had heard about this hideous crime. Glad to hear the Jihadist actually got life in prison.”
Or until his pals are sufficiently numerous to demand that he’s released, or are running the prisons themselves….
I doubt that he’s expecting to spend the next 50 years re-enacting The Shariashank Redemption.
Indiana Tom says
“Mr. Saleh is sincerely remorseful, and he is committed to making amends,” says his lawyer, Deborah Colson.Saleh himself wrote in a letter to the judge: “I am sorry for my shameful behavior.”
Yes, he is upset that he was not successful in his Jihadi play plans.
He will be more successful the next time.
Wellington says
Proving once again that no amount of education can overcome belief in a malevolent ideology. As I have written before here at JW, Joseph Goebbels had a PhD.

True, Wellington–this wanna be Jihadist was hardly lacking in education or opportunity.

So, nothing to do with islam, huh?
How about this: “Man dresses as General Custer stabs native Americans and shots local buffaloes. Incident has nothing to do with American cavalry or General Custer”.

“Mr. Saleh is sincerely remorseful, and he is committed to making amends,” says his lawyer, Deborah Colson.
………………………..
Uh…right. Actually, calling this “shameful behavior” is very odd. I think he just means he is ashamed that he was caught.
‘I am sorry for my shameful behavior,’ he wrote.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Wonder if he thinks the beliefs are shameful?
TheBuffster says
Yes, I thought that “shameful behavior” was an interesting way for describing what he did. Maybe he was just ashamed of panicking and charging at the policeman, ashamed of not handling the situation in a cool, calm way. Just what part of his behavior is he ashamed of? All of it? Or just a bit?

Well of course, the poor little dear is completely innocent.
Just like in Australia where the head of a muslim rape gang was convicted on……….
DNA evidence, Identification by the victims, evidence supplied by his OWN gang members seeking to receive a lighter sentence.
Yet with all this damning evidence against him his family REFUSED to accept the reality that their son was a perverted evil rapist. Instead they chose to believe he was set up.
This flat refusal of reality is not a behavior exclusive to muslims, but they definite have almost a monopoly on it
MFritz says
“committed to making amends” Which always sounds great once the parole board comes around for review.
WPM says
His family should be deported too ,you learn this behavior from your home life. You do not just wake up one morning and go Jihad it not like you contact it like a virus. It is a learn acceptable behavior ,really an honor in the Moslem community the only community were murder with suicide is encouraged as a virtue for men .I can just picture a mother holding her boy infant whispering into his ear you too Mohammed can go forth someday and die blowing up the Christians Jews just like your names sake what a sick vision of mother,s love. Hate from the beginning to the end of life Islam code for family and social life.
