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

Colorado: Muslim “refugee,” former “human rights worker,” guilty of supporting jihad terror group

Jun 21, 2018 9:14 pm By Robert Spencer

Muhtorov is “a former human rights worker who came to the Denver area in 2007 through a refugee resettlement program.”

There in one neat sentence is a concise indictment of the “human rights” and “refugee resettlement” establishments.

“Uzbek refugee found guilty of supporting terror group,” by Kathleen Foody, Associated Press, June 21, 2018:

DENVER (AP) – Jurors on Thursday found a refugee from Uzbekistan guilty of conspiring to support a terrorist group with $300 he received from a friend and by making plans to join the organization himself.

Thursday’s verdict in a federal courtroom in Denver came more than six years after Jamshid Muhtorov’s arrest at a Chicago airport. After a three-week trial, jurors found Muhtorov guilty of three charges: conspiring to provide $300 to the Islamic Jihad Union, providing or attempting to provide the $300 and providing or attempting to provide himself as support.

Jurors also found Muhtorov not guilty on another charge of providing or attempting to provide communications technology to the terror group. Prosecutors described the Islamic Jihad Union as an extremist splinter group that opposes the Uzbek government and has been blamed for attacks there and in Afghanistan.

The case led to the U.S. Justice Department’s first disclosure that it intended to use information obtained through one of the National Security Agency’s warrantless surveillance programs. Muhtorov’s attorneys challenged the constitutionality of the program before the trial.

But Judge John Kane decided in 2015 that the program may have potential for abuse but did not violate Muhtorov’s rights.

Prosecutors argued that Muhtorov, a former human rights worker who came to the Denver area in 2007 through a refugee resettlement program, became frustrated with life in the U.S. He began emailing with the terror group through its website and by 2012 told an FBI informant that he planned to join the group and become a fighter, they said.

Muhtorov’s attorneys said the emails were just a coping method as Muhtorov adjusted to a new life in the United States, where he worked at a processing plant, a casino and then as a truck driver. They said he never intended to take any action either by sending money or joining the group himself.

Muhtorov never sent the money to the terror group and was traveling to Turkey to study Islam and help a brother who was in a refugee camp nearby when he was arrested, they said….

    He has the hang banger Islam mark on his forehead. That is the sign of banging his head into a flea infested rug while shouting his demonic prays condemning Jews and Christians .It is similar to the hand burns from lighting up crosses the KKK members got in the 1920s in the deep south without the public out cry. We have enough truck drivers, chicken “pluckers” and casino workers we do not have to import violent rejects of Islam to do these jobs there are plenty of non-Moslems who can do them without trying to kill us in the process thank you.

      O.K., he’s going to be in jail for a while. Time to do some diagnostic scanning of that battered brain. Maybe we can’t persuade most head-bangers to volunteer for research, but prisoners should be examined for brain damage and for communicable diseases. The muslim community needs to have evidence that this practice is bad for the banger as well as for his future victims (which could possibly include family members and the local imam). Someone out there must work in medicine and be able to suggest the research to a doctor or other expert. There are just too many of these menaces out there, and now we know they’re here too.

        Head banging sure as hell doesn’t help–but I think what Islam teaches is the bigger problem.

      Starting with the biggest one CAIR. This is a Muslim Brotherhood group that uses subterfuge and propaganda to entice uninformed Americans into thinking they are a benevolent ‘religious group’ ]they do that only to gain tax free status]. Their schools and mosques are training grounds for the American Cultural Jihad. They train legal teams on how to infiltrate small towns and get into the school board, police, and city council. The long term intent is to convince the locals they are peaceful, and that the adaption of Sharia Law is a benefit that will reduce community tensions. Then they introduce pagan Muhammadan teachings and dress and habits into schools at the early stages of child development. Pre school and the first 3 grades. This is the cultural Jihad that is a cancer in America. I just do not understand how Americans do not see the damage it is doing to our culture and values.

    I am often frustrated with life in America, too. But this is my home, my county, its people are my people, and I would not betray it. My people are Native Americans who have fought and died in every war this country has been involved with. Though the government of this land has never been fair or treated honorably with the First People of this land, we have defended America to the death in World Wars and “conflicts” all over the world, even when we were not considered “citizens” of the United States of America. Now, the government brings refugees, economic migrants, and immigrants here who have no loyalty to this land or to the citizens living here. It is shameful, unjust and disloyal both to the citizens of America and to America herself.

      Well said, Jackie. As a fourth generation immigrant to this great country, I am also often disappointed with the poor decisions and policies that are promoted by selfish politicians, bureaucrats and judges; however, it is my place of birth that has provided many great opportunities for success. It is worth defending from all who would see it fall.

        you guys are lucky: I left Germany for another European country and now will emigrate to the US. The US is a robust country while some parts of Europe are irredeemably lost. The UK and Sweden, and maybe Germany have passed the point of no return. There will be lots of blood on the streets of Europe.

        I hope that some day I will get citizenship and can burn my German passport.

    Speaking of refugees and border issues…

    There is a volcano erupting over the ‘asylum seekers’ at the Southern US border.
    Granted, these are complex issues and I’m not going to propose any sort of ‘solution’ to that mess.

    But, the point is… that the media is totally exploiting that mess for their agenda, and I feel the mess was an orchestrated mess. Over at Pamela Geller’s news there is a post about 13 reasons why Trump is not doing anything wrong, one of which is that Obama did the same thing and no one said a peep. But now suddenly it is headline news! Oh! The poor babies! Separated from their parents! Pamela also had an item about how DHS said that the majority of these kids cross alone, sent by their parents, so how can you separate them, when they are already separated? You can’t wave a magic wand and make their parents appear! It is a mess for sure. But this exploitation by the media is all part of that borderless globalist “let them all in” agenda. If they do, then who is next? They are whipping this up into a feverish frenzy and the simpleton masses are all manipulated like puppets on a string. They are rallying, planning more rallies, the natives are getting restless so to speak. Then, in walks Melania with that jacket. The PC version is that it’s about fake news, but honestly, would you go pulling a stunt like that wearing that message on the back of your jacket? And then they have her with the background about ‘acts of kindness’… how nice! Also, they showed that Time magazine has as its new cover…. Trump, starring down at a very little hispanic girl, who is crying. Folks, I don’t know what else could sound the buzzer for calling in a civil war about borders, race, politics, and Trump, just like they want!
    With a red background, they show a big, white, powerful male looking *down* on a small, non-white, helpless, weak, female who is crying, obviously as a result of his ‘bullying’ as they claim. Only they forget to put Obama there first! Talk about manipulating the ignorant and gullible masses, and let me tell you… they are out there….and they are soooooo manipulated! It’s like watching them toy with a kindergartener, holding a candy bait and pulling it away, as the child cries and whines and throws a tantrum. It is that easy for them, I see their faces every day. They are pulled like puppets on a string. All because they don’t get informed, and their uncircumcised emotions are pulled around by the puppet masters every which way, like putty in their hands. They are an instrument to the globalist agenda, part of the problem, their *army* if you will, and It is truly sad.

    Working in a “processing plant…with food? Poison jihad?

    Driving a truck….would he plan vehicle jihad?

    Of course not. He’s all for “human rights.” And from what is he a “refugee;?

    it’s good they got him.

    MUSLIMS BEING USED BY BILDERBERG GROUP TO DESTROY NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY!
    Think Henry Kissinger! Think Peter Sutherland! Think Pope Francis! Think NWO!
    You don’t have a single brain cell in your heads!
    This is all planned!
    CIA/FBI and all other Intelligence agencies are part of this plan!
    NO MORE BORDERS!
    The Old World Order was the Papacy, but was broken up by the Renaissance and Reformation. The Jesuits were created to destroy Protestantism, which allowed Free Thought and Free Expression.
    Muslims, like the Papists hate Free Thought and Free Expression.
    The NWO, Jesuits and the Vatican want to restore the Old World Order.
    Google: The RED Mass and The BLUE Mass. See how the Vatican controls America from the bottom to the top!
    Google: Roman Catholics and Jews control the American Supreme Court.
    Mystery Babylon/Mystery Babel = NWO
    You have forgotten your history, or you never knew it!
    You get your “history” from the NWO media!

      Another claim that Islam is not a threat…

  9. mortimer says

    Jun 22, 2018 at 3:36 am

    Muhtorov was “a former human rights worker”.

    Whose human rights was he defending?

    Certainly, not the human rights of the DISBELIEVING KUFAAR!

    In other words, Islamic human rights work one way.

  10. WPM says

    Jun 22, 2018 at 5:56 am

    Muhtorov believes in the right of Moslems to murder, rape ,and steal from the Kufaar that’s what Islamic “human rights ” are.

    This man Jamshid Muhtorov is a “refugee”. From what? From a war in Uzbekistan? Why did he refuse to fight to save his homeland? And where are all the female refugees fleeing from whatever this refugee is fleeing from?

    He should be flogged by a US Soldier, on TV.
