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

Boston police captain’s son converts to Islam, amasses guns for jihad massacre on college campus

May 22, 2018 1:25 pm By Robert Spencer

Here yet again we see a convert to Islam getting the idea that his new religion requires him to commit mass murder of people who do not accept that religion. Despite the fact that we see this again and again, authorities remain resolutely uninterested in the phenomenon of conversion to Islam.

“Son of Boston bombing 1st responder pleads guilty to terrorist bomb plot,” by Frank Miles, Fox News, May 21, 2018 (thanks to Ken):

The son of a police captain who was one of the first responders at the scene of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing pleaded guilty Monday to plotting an ISIS-style attack.

Alexander Ciccolo faces 20 years in prison for plotting to use guns and homemade bombs to attack a college campus to support the Islamic State group. Sentencing has been scheduled for September.

Ciccolo was arrested in July 2015 after he received four guns he ordered from a person who was cooperating with the FBI, as Fox News previously reported. Boston police Capt. Robert Ciccolo tipped off authorities after his son said he wanted to join the Islamic State group.

Ciccolo, 25, initially was charged only with being a felon in possession of a firearm and stabbing a nurse in the head with a pen after he was brought to jail. But he later was indicted on attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and attempting to use weapons of mass destruction.

Ciccolo, who went by the name Ali Al Amriki, pleaded guilty to all charges. His plea came a month before he was set to go on trial….

Ciccolo’s mother, Shelley MacInnes, told New England Public Radio last year that her son was “very compassionate” and “would not hurt a fly.” He converted to Islam a few years ago, MacInnes said.

    “would not hurt a fly.” …yep, we kafirs are all flies to ‘supreme’ devil worshipers

    He stabbed a nurse in the head with a pen? Another Muslim proving himself to be a dog biting the hand that feeds him. He may have not hurt a fly but “infidels” are lower than flies to him and they must be exterminated. He serves the Lord of the Flies.

    Just be patient, jihadis. All the liberals are going to convert of their own free will. Just have a little patience.

      They probably would convert and be willing dhimmis if the conquerers/oppressors tell them they are Islamophobic or racist. Shouldn’t be hard since it seems to be working now. Hollywood women should start picking out their hijabs and sexy burkinis and lead the way since they’re such loudmouths.

    “Ciccolo’s mother, Shelley MacInnes, told New England Public Radio last year that her son was ‘very compassionate’ and ‘would not hurt a fly.’”

    Well, maybe that’s true; so the flies of New England can breathe a sigh of relief. But flies weren’t his target. We kafirs are the target. I wonder if Mom sees the distinction?

      Doesn’t hurt flies, doesn’t touch alcohol, and only drinks tea and coffee if it’s “de-kaffir-nated”…….

    Institutions will continue to lie for Islam and keep the dawah train going. So-called white lies of appeasement get nurses stabbed.

    I don’t know why journalists ask mothers about their kids–the answers are always delusional.

    • SAE says

      May 22, 2018 at 3:06 pm

      Rather than asking these incompetent mothers…journalists should investigate them to learn why their offspring are so deviant. Perhaps there’s something lacking in their child-rearing skills. Not all, not all, but some..like her. Clueless!

        I meant changing his name to “Ali Al Amriki.” You have to be a mental defective to do that.

    Alexander Ciccolo was INSPIRED by the Boston Marathon bombing to TAKE UP a new life in ISLAMIC TERRORISM.

    He would not hurt a fly, but NOW he is motivated by ALLAH’S HATRED of the DIRTY KUFAAR who do not deserve to live.

    Alexander Ciccolo hates KUFAAR ‘for the sake of Allah’ and considers killing them no worse than killing a herd of cattle.

    Seems like a lot of focus on the mother, who living in New England, may not be up to date on her sons fairly recent conversion. Many grown chi!dren maintain a façade for their mothers. I think the real focus should be this father. What exceptional strength of character this man has shown….turning in his own son! Yes, it was his ‘duty’, but as a parent, what a huge hurtle and a heartbreak! Multiple Kudos and my prayers go up for them.

    • utis says

      May 22, 2018 at 6:36 pm

      Since the father was a first responder, he may have seen the carnage at its worst. He absolutely did the right thing, and I hope people give him plenty of comfort for the difficulty of his choice and for the criticism he will get from certain morons. His son may go to jail, but no one will have to deal with dying people and miscellaneous body parts because of the holy idiot. American owes that man a lot of thanks.

    • The Remorseless Headsman says

      May 23, 2018 at 1:59 am

      If my son were to try this and succeed, I would be the first to volunteer to throw the switch. There is no excuse and no mercy should be shown

    One of the explanation as to how such totally unconscionable, ruthless, vicious actions and murderous are committed by the Muslim terrorists who compose the brutal and deadly jihad entity ISIS is answer in the following . The jihadists of ISIS are engaging in the Islamic doctrine of “Muruna” which is the dogma of Islam that teaches committing evil for the greater good is a noble part of the jihad for Islam. This is, in essence, the same type of “philosophy” that the communists had gone by in the twentieth century. That it’s a “good thing “ to commit many evils to obtain a “worker’s paradise.” Likewise, during World War II even the Nazis had this line of thinking.” To express, as in to illustrate this idea, even more, is by using a twenty-first century movie. Near the end of this movie, just before the final defeat of the super-arch –villain General Zod , that super villain said “No matter how brutal and deadly I was I did it for the greater good.” That is the common mindset of many villains including those of ISIS.

    Speaking of Boston, have they set an execution date for Tsarnaev? One edifying “example” would stop a lot of crazy copy-cats.

    Throw him in jail, then deport him to Syria. He is not wanted nor welcome here.

    He sounds like a spoilt mummy’s boy who was probably living with and sponging off his parents like so many Millennials. Did he have a job? Or did he spend his time playing violent video games? Only such losers turn to Islam and it’s violence against decent people.

    • WPM says

      May 23, 2018 at 7:19 am

      His father turn him in he was 25 years old we do not know by the article where he lived ,his father saw it coming give his father credit for saving lives. Why does the MSM go to the mother for a comment and not the father who saw it coming and turn his Islamic son in before he could commit Jihad?

  15. FYI says

    May 23, 2018 at 6:54 am

    By converting to islam you now subscribe to..

    allah..

    an antichristian,antiJewish god{koran 9:30} of hate and violence{koran 2 :191} who teaches muslims to break God’s Commandments in his “holy” koran and in return,if you pray to him 5 times a day and put on apublic display of false piety whilst fasting at ramadam,he will reward you for ….doing evil.. in paradise with 72 virgins..

    You must follow the “Sunnah” of alalh’s “prophet” muhammed..
    A mass-murdering {abu dawud 4390}rapist{abu dawud 2150}slaver{sahih muslim 3901},polygamist{sahih muslim 1:5:268} who..

    1.admitted to being a terrorist bukhari 4:52:220

    AND

    2 admitted to being a fake

    “I have fabricated things AGAINST GOD” al tabari 6:111

    Note that it not simply that muhammed fabricated things ABOUT GOD:it is that he fabricated things AGAINST GOD.

    islam is in opposition to the Judeo-Christian God:the fact that the 2 chief commandments are missing in islam shows up islam to be a religion that preaches HATE…which is in direct opposition to God’s 2 chief laws.

    who needs to obey those pesky commandments of God{which condemn murder,stealing,adultery,bearing false witness} when you have allah to tell you its OK to break them?

    Who needs “love thy neighbor”{The 2nd chief commandment which.. of course…is missing in islam)
    when you have allah to tell you
    “Oh ye who believe!take not the Jews and Christians for friends”
    koran 5 v 51

    Yes,that makes perfect sense…

  16. No Muzzies Here says

    May 23, 2018 at 8:30 am

    When someone converts, he does all he can to learn about his new religion, and to put into practice fully all that the religion dictates. So it should be no surprise that the new convert lets his beard grow, trims his mustache, bows down in submission 5 times a day, and strives to blow up non-believers.

  17. Badger says

    May 23, 2018 at 8:53 am

    “very compassionate” and “would not hurt a fly.” – standard response.

    I feel awfully sorry for the parents.

  18. Elizabeth Lawson says

    May 23, 2018 at 10:57 am

    Here we have another brain dead idiot, but a malevolent one. What’s the great attraction to murdering people? Was he homicidal to begin with, or just a bored, spoiled, and lazy fellow? I guess helping others less fortunate, and/or working to make our world a better place for all is just not in his DNA. I cannot believe that his motivation resulted from ignorance of the wreckage that his chosen fellow travelers are causing right across the world. Endless TV reports and videos of the barbarism that Islamists are causing would emphasize that this character knew exactly what he was committing his efforts to. Away with him. Prison is far too good for him.

  19. Kalifornia Kafir says

    May 23, 2018 at 3:29 pm

    He converted to Islam a few years ago, [his mommy] said.

    Not too long after the bombing? Probably saw it as the perfect passive-aggressive rebellion against his dad and American culture.

    • gravenimage says

      Sadly, there is nothing passive about waging violent Jihad.

  20. Kim says

    Why don’t Muslim terrorists learn what God wants them to learn? The Quran book says in 3:53 God will teach Jesus the Torah, wisdom and gospel all of which is the Holy Bible. Muslim terrorists should be reading and following the Gospel which is the New Testament portion of the Bible, as well as the Torah which are the first five books of the Bible and the wisdom of the rest of the Bible. The first few verses of Quran three also glorify the Bible (Torah and Gospel). Also why don’t Muslim terrorists leave Christians alone? For in Quran 3:55 God says he will lift those who follow Jesus higher than unbelievers and on the last day these Christians (who follow only one God who has no mother), they will be taken up to God. In other words most Christians are believers, leave them alone.

    • gravenimage says

      Jun 6, 2018 at 8:52 pm

      Kim, Muslims claim that Jews and Christians have “corrupted” the Torah and Gospels, and that they used to be as savage as the Qur’an.

    I feel so sorry for his father. Thank g/d he is a strong & righteous man with the courage to do what he did.The son clearly won’t see that he has a hero for a father.

    Boston police captain’s son converts to Islam, amasses guns for jihad massacre on college campus
    ………………….

    And it’s not as though he could claim that he didn’t kow about Jihad when he converted, given his father’s experiences with Jihadists.
