California: Muslim migrant serving 25 years for Idaho jihad terror plot tries to slit throat of prison warden

Mar 14, 2018 4:48 pm By Robert Spencer

“Kurbanov admitted that he made the shank a week earlier and that he had tried to cut the main artery in C.J.’s neck.”

Where did he get the idea to do that?

“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4)

Not, of course, that this has anything whatsoever to do with…

“Man serving 25 years in terrorism case pleads guilty to attempted murder of Victorville prison warden,” by Brittny Mejia, Los Angeles Times, March 13, 2018 (thanks to Robert):

The prisoner had been serving a 25-year sentence in a terrorism case when he tried to slit the warden’s throat.

In entering a guilty plea Tuesday, Fazliddin Kurbanov admitted using a prison-made knife to attack the warden at the Federal Correctional Institution at Victorville on May 31, 2016.

At the time of the attack, the then-warden — identified only as C.J. — was standing in the dining facility near the serving line. Kurbanov, armed with an approximately 4-inch homemade shank, approached C.J. from behind, wrapped one arm around his neck and tried to slit the warden’s throat, according to a plea agreement.

When the warden raised his hand to protect his throat, Kurbanov slashed the left side of his body from armpit to hip bone. C.J. needed about 80 staples to close the wound, “resulting in a permanent disfiguring scar and sharp pains most likely caused by nerve damage.”

In a subsequent interview, in which the prisoner had been read his rights, Kurbanov admitted that he made the shank a week earlier and that he had tried to cut the main artery in C.J.’s neck.

The warden, who is now working at another facility operated by the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, was seriously injured but has since recovered.

The investigation into the attack was conducted by the FBI and the case is being prosecuted by the National Security Division of the U.S. attorney’s office.

Kurbanov is scheduled for sentencing June 4. As a result of his pleading guilty to one count of attempted murder of a federal officer, Kurbanov faces a sentence of at least 15 years in federal prison to be served consecutively with the 25-year sentence imposed in 2016 by a federal judge in Idaho.

Kurbanov was sentenced in that case for conspiring and attempting to provide material support to the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan and for procuring bomb-making materials to execute a terrorist attack on American soil, according to then Assistant Atty. Gen. for National Security John P. Carlin.

Between the summer of 2012 and Kurbanov’s arrest in May 2013, he was living in Boise, Idaho, and communicating by email and Skype with a person or persons operating a website for the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, officials said.

Kurbanov talked about his animosity toward Americans, particularly the military; his desire to build a bomb; possible targets in the U.S.; and his need for instruction on how to construct and remotely detonate a bomb.

Between at least Nov. 15, 2012, and May 16, 2013, Kurbanov possessed bomb-making components at his Boise apartment, including a hollow hand grenade, a hobby fuse, ammunition containing smokeless powder, tannerite, aluminum powder, potassium nitrate, charcoal, yellow sulfur powder and fertilizer….

      Kubanov will be treated as insane by all prison guards, but they should be teaching the guards the doctrine of AL WALAA WAL BARAA so they may understand the MINDSET of the jihadist … the HATRED of DIRTY KAFIRS for the sake of Allah… a compulsory and ‘ESSENTIAL’ teaching of Islam.

      Moreover, the Koran specifically mentions fighting the LEADERS OF THE INFIDELS…

      K.9.12 … “fight (to the death…Arabic: “q-t-l”) the heads of disbelief”.

      Kubanov was implementing the verse.

      Jihad should require the death penalty. I am against it in all other cases, but in the case2 of jihad there is no possibility of “not guilty”. “Insanity” can’t work because we would need to treat all Muslims for insanity in that case and we aren’t allowed to. So when they act on their insanity and kill or try to kill in the name of Islam, they need to be subject to a death penalty. If they are playing with their 72 virgins they won’t be killing us. Look at it that way. If we imprison them all they will do is multiply jihad by every criminal they recruit to the cause. Why feed and house them for this? Whack ’em.

    No fear of the prospect of Kurbanov eating Pork Chops for Dinner. He will be served his Bloody Halal-Butchered fare with all due respect. After all, the Federal System appears to be set up for the Followers of Allah & the Imams will be in attendance, to make sure that his dietary requests are exact.

    California: Muslim migrant serving 25 years for Idaho jihad terror plot slits throat of prison warden
    ……………….

    *Horrifying*. I’m glad the warden survived–although it sounds like just barely.

    Muslims do not recognize any Infidel authority.

    • mortimer says

      Mar 14, 2018 at 8:17 pm

      GI, the Koran specifically COMMANDS Muslims to fight to the death the LEADERS OF UNBELIEF. The warden was the LEADER and Kubanov OBEYED THE KORANIC VERSE 9.12.

    Another Muslim loser (excuse the redundancy), replete with those so characteristic dead eyes.

  6. Niemoller says

    Mar 14, 2018 at 6:21 pm

    Everyday JW documents actual murders and extreme violence committed by Muslims acting out the plans spelled out in the Koran. Meanwhile, years go by between acts of violence committed in the name of other religions.

    What is the Koran, you say? Muhammad says it’s the word of God (Allah), but only he heard it. He monopolized God, because Muslims rely 100% on Muhammad. He monopolized the prophets, by radically altering them in the Koran, thus, they are inventions of Muhammad.

    But the other texts, you say? The hadith and sunna are merely supplemental texts, written hundreds of years after Muhammad’s sordid life. No religion except Islam relies 100% on a single man. Islam, what a banal, bloody, hateful mess it is.

    • Michael Copeland says

      Mar 14, 2018 at 6:57 pm

      Relying 100% on a single man, a man who said it was all right to lie. Think about it, muslims.

      • Wellington says

        Mar 14, 2018 at 7:13 pm

        Muslims en masse should, but they won’t. Islam is built upon the word of a psychopath, narcissist, pedophile, torturer, bandit, illiterate, murderer, fraud, rapist and general hater (not too keen on music or alcohol either which lowers him all the more IMHO).

        Not a good start. And all you Muslims out there reading this, know that every year more and more millions of people (yeah, millions) are coming to know what a fraud Islam is and what a wretched character Mohammed was. Yeah, let that one sink in for you for a minute or two all you “ass-wavers” out there (my God, Islam can’t even produce people who pray with dignity but rather pray with their butts in the air————–a prediction: Islam will be as likely laughed out of existence as it will be forced out of existence; oh yeah, a close call).

        • mortimer says

          Mar 14, 2018 at 7:59 pm

          Yes, Wellington, a number of ex-Muslims are presently on line and they are mocking Islam with all their might. The “APOSTATE PROPHET” … watch him laugh at ALLAH HOLDS UP THE SKY !

        • Niemoller says

          Mar 15, 2018 at 7:00 am

          They really are shoving their asses toward the traditional direction of heaven and God, aren’t they? But they think God/Allah basically lives in a box in Mecca, because Muhammad said so.

  7. RCCA says

    Mar 14, 2018 at 6:26 pm

    I was curious how he got here.

    “Kurbanov came to the United States with his family as refugees in 2009.

    While still in Uzbekistan, Kurbanov’s parents and sister left Islam and converted to Christianity. They were persecuted, and a friend who was a government official told them they had been placed on a watch list because of their religious beliefs. So they fled. Kurbanov, still a Muslim, went with them and brought his wife and son.

    Kurbanov eventually settled in Boise…”

    From: January 07, 2016 09:34 PM

    Idaho’s most senior judge said he was convinced Fazliddin Kurbanov planned to carry out a terrorist attack meant to kill a large number of Americans.

    “He intended to carry out jihad on the United States,” Senior U.S. District Judge Edward J. Lodge said during sentencing Thursday. “He intended to explode a bomb in the U.S. to send a message, much like that delivered in the 911 attacks.”

    Kurbanov, 33, who faced 40 years in prison, was ordered to serve 25 years, after which he will be deported back to Uzbekistan.

    “I’m not a terrorist. I’ve never been one,” Kurbanov told Lodge through a translator before he was sentenced. “I’ve never caused any harm to anyone. And I have no intent to do that, especially not to Americans.” LOL

    Mar 14, 2018 at 6:44 pm

    This is a perfect example of why terrorists that declare war on the US or its allies should NEVER be treated as criminals but rather as POW’s and enemy combatants. It is not only dangerous physically, but much more so psychologically to both the terrorists themselves who are bolstered by this light treatment and the huge numbers of inmates who are placed at risk of indoctrination or worse.

    I can say with certainty that there are a multitude of benefits to being a Muslim in U.S. jails and prisons and this alone is enough to persuade some to convert. This ensures that a large portion of future American Muslims will be deeply indoctrinated convicts who are trained by ACTUAL JIHAD FIGHTERS and TERRORISTS.

    I’d say the best option is setting up prisons in Saudi Arabia or another Muslim “ally” country in order to contain the dissemination of the supremicism doctrine that is already well established in those countries.
    Not that this always works out as planned (see Camp Bucca).

  10. Jack Diamond says

    His case brings back the very unpleasant memories of the rape of the 5 year old girl in Twin Falls by children of Muslim refugees and the disgraceful conduct of elected officials, the U.S. Attorney (Wendy Olsen), and the newspapers “covering” the story, like the Spokesman-Review.

    This would-be mass murderer/throat-cutter was also brought in through the Idaho Office for Refugees. Chalk up another success story for Muslim refugee settlement (interestingly the parents and sister he came over with had left Islam and become Christians and had to flee Uzbekistan, apparently not so Fazliddin, who also came over in 2009 with a wife and child).

    But looking up a 2015 piece about his trial in the Spokesman-Review brings back memories:

    “As Fazliddin Kurbanov, an Uzbek who came to Boise as a refugee, goes to trial today on terrorism charges, U.S. Attorney Wendy Olson has been reaching out to the refugee community, refugee support agencies, the Muslim community, law enforcement and other groups in an effort to “build stronger, safer communities.” With the trial starting, Olson said her office wanted to reassure the refugee and Muslim communities that law enforcement officers will be vigilant to protect them against bias crimes.

    {Priorities, priorities….}

    “Meanwhile, Idaho Statesman reporter Bill Dentzer has a full report here on Idaho’s refugee resettlement program, which has brought 19,000 refugees from 50 countries to the state since 1980. Many refugees who’ve come to Idaho are success stories, he reports, building new lives and careers in their new home. But refugee resettlement also has drawn opposition, including a Twin Falls group that’s mobilized in opposition to a program that’s resettled refugees there since 1982.

    “Anne C. Richard, assistant secretary of state for the Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration, told Dentzer that refugees undergo a 13-step background and clearance process that takes 18 to 24 months on average, making them “the most thoroughly vetted category of visitor to the U.S.”

    “Kurbanov faces a sentence of at least 15 years in federal prison to be served consecutively with the 25-year sentence imposed in 2016 by a federal judge in Idaho.”

    OK then. Now I understand. The sentence for attempted murder while already serving a 25 year sentence is…wait for it…double SECRET probation!

    • Frank Anderson says

      Mar 14, 2018 at 9:05 pm

      Hugo. . ., are you confusing “concurrently” where both sentences are served at the same time with “consecutively” where 1 sentence is served to completion then the second sentence is served to completion? An extra 15 years in the heart break hotel, which under Federal law means most of the time must be served, is a real sentence.

      • HugoHackenbush says

        Mar 15, 2018 at 10:11 am

        Well aware “concurrent” versus “consecutive”. Too often the public is simply “conned”. I joke because I have the impression (hopefully false) that it is rare for someone so sentenced to actually serve the full sentence. So often one hears of “a change of heart”, “true and deep remorse”, etc. etc. and the perpetrator gets parole after only a fraction of the sentence is served. Hope I’m totally wrong about this when it comes to the federal system.

        • Frank Anderson says

          Mar 15, 2018 at 12:52 pm

          Hugo. . , I cannot say with any confidence that you are in error. It is my understanding that when a consecutive sentence is applied, unless some kind of clemency or deal is made subsequently, the time will add. It is also my understanding that federal sentences generally require 85 percent to be served. But there may be situations where a day of work could count as 2 or 3 served, to get the prisoner out of the costly accommodations and back (sarc/on) where he can injure or kill again (sarc/off). There is little certainty in any criminal sentencing, except when the death penalty is actually carried out.

          Remember that Mohammed Atta, one of the main figures in the 9/11 attack was locked up in an Israeli jail for a really long sentence. Bill Clinton forced the Israelis to release him as part of a deal with Yassar Arafat (Oslo accords?). An observer, such as we are, can easily lose any faith or confidence in such an unreliable system. I agree with your doubts.

    POPE FRANCIS AND CIA WANT TO BAN CONSERVATIVE NEWS!

    Sorry, off topic, but I saw this under today’s headlines over at RATHER EXPOSE THEM, I cut and pasted the headlines below and you can go there to read it all and watch the videos:

    POPE FRANCIS, THROUGH GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY & CIA, SUES ALEX JONES WITH TAXPAYER MONEY~CALL FOR CONSERVATIVE NEWS TO BE BANNED
    POPE FRANCIS, THROUGH GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY & CIA, SUES ALEX JONES
    WITH TAXPAYER MONEY
    Alex Jones breaks down how the Georgetown University was founded and partially run to this day by the Vatican, and lays out how the lawsuit against Infowars is being pushed by Pope Francis.

    Alex Jones lays out how Georgetown University, the main school the CIA recruits members from, is suing Infowars for simply questioning the official narrative of the mainstream media.

    Alex Jones lays out how the lawsuit filed against he and Infowars by the Vatican founded and CIA connected Georgetown University is attempting to invert freedom of speech Supreme Court rulings.
