What could possibly go wrong?
“Court: Ex-terror defendant facing deportation is US citizen,” by Larry Neumeister, Associated Press, September 13, 2018:
NEW YORK — A one-time Maryland high school honors student who admitted aiding Muslim extremists overseas and helped the U.S. pursue terrorists after his 2011 arrest is a U.S. citizen, a federal appeals panel said Thursday as it erased a pending deportation order.
The ruling by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan means 24-year-old Mohammad Hassan Khalid can continue his studies at a Maryland college.
His Philadelphia lawyer, Wayne Sachs, called the decision a “very satisfying victory for a well-deserving young man with a bright future.”
He said the three-judge appeals panel, unlike four earlier courts, “properly focused on the law rather than the petitioner’s ‘notoriety.'”
The U.S. government did not immediately say if it planned to appeal.
Circuit Judge Dennis Jacobs wrote that he cannot congratulate Khalid, given that he “plotted sneaking violence against Americans.”
“He cooperated with the authorities only when, having been caught, he found himself needing another kind of refuge,” Jacobs said.
Circuit Judge Christopher F. Droney, who wrote the main opinion, explained that Khalid was entitled to citizenship because he was under age 18 when his father gained citizenship….
Khalid entered the United States in 2007 with his family. He was born in the United Arab Emirates, but was a Pakistani citizen because his parents were Pakistani.
Khalid was 17 when he was arrested in 2011 after winning a full scholarship to prestigious Johns Hopkins University. Authorities said he had been engaging in radical Islamist chat rooms from his family’s small apartment near Baltimore since he was 15.
In 2012, he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists, admitting that he had agreed in his secret online life to raise money and recruit terrorists for jihad….
Huh!?! says
The judge that commented it was because he was caught was right. I do not believe he will turn from jihad, He will only find another covert way to do his aiding of jihad. Then the U.S. will get the same statements from the F.B.I: “He was on a list but did not think him a threat.”

This is a classic Taqiyya move mohammad say the art of deceit is a great weapon of war..
Most judges do not have a clue as to how the muslin religion works. Most judges are not qualified to sit on a jihad trial
J D S says
I fully believe that a special federal court should be established to prosecute cases like this one and Judges and prosecutors should undergo special training in Muslim terrorism. OH NOOOOO! That would be racist and islamophobic on the part of such a court…So continue to release people like this man and add to the terrorism problem.
Lilith Wept says
CAIR would sue and make darn sure that that wouldn’t happen or if it did allow it then there would be moslem advisors……
Honestly, i am beginning to think that people like this, and people like Linda Sausour , who deliberately lie about Islam and who are so outspoken , we should eliminate them .
I believe we are past the point of bing able to make a difference and protect ourselves from Islam by legal and political means. Every time someone tries, the liberals un do whatever good was done , they fight against it, and it stops dead or they stall,it, or they silence the people trying.
So if we can’t do this the normal way, they way we should be able to make changes….that leaves us with the option of defending ourselves and our way of life, our form of Goverment and our freedoms and rights, by force.
Garfield says
Agreed. And if taquiyya wasn’t BUILT IN to corrupt mafia scam islam, it would be easier to ever trust people who stay in Islam when they know it supports abuse and subjugation of women, child marrige, FGM, and is antisemitic. What kind of people STAY IN an organized group that believes in such things?
StellaSaidSo says
He is ‘a young man with a bright future’ according to his lawyer, who neglected to add ‘who was willing to destroy the bright futures of others.’
Shame on both of you, and the judges.
Guy Forester says
By a bright future, does that include the possibility that he will either light himself up in jihad or someone will light him up to prevent him from carrying out said plot?
StellaSaidSo says
We can hope!

What can possibly go wrong with this situation? Has our justice system lost its mind?
Reminds me of what is happening in courts in England and Germany and France!
This confirmed terrorist anti- American scum deserves prison time ! And the judges should be
removed from the bench! Jeff Sessions —- do your job!! Enforce the law!!
Keep America safe! ????????
Walter Sieruk says
First, the question might need to be asked “Is that Muslim’s lawyer and those American Judges really so naive that they feel the this Muslim student might thinks about his folly, during his studies, and then change his Islamic ways and become a peaceful person ?” If this is the case then they are not just naive but also ignorant and reckless, to the public safety to allow such a man to remain in this country.
Second , the ideology of jihad violence may be, somewhat explained by a former Muslim, Ibn Warraq in his book which has the title THE ISLAM IN ISLAMIC TERRORISM . For on page 253 he reveals that “Sharia was destined to dominate the world and crush all undesirable elements… Jihad was center, to Islam ,which could not have been successful without it.” The author further expounds of the writing of a militant Muslim writer , Mawdudi . on page 266 For that jihad-minded Muslim scholar wrote “In reality, Islam is a revolutionary ideology and program which seek to alter the social order of the whole world and rebuilt it in conformity with its tenets and ideas. … ‘jihad’ refers to that revolutionary struggle and utmost exertion which the Islamic party beings into play to achieved this objective.”
It may be truthfully said what is called the” Lesser Jihad” which is the violent brutal and murdering jihad is very much alive at practiced by many jihadist/ Muslims in this modern world . This lesser jihad is also termed as “The Jihad of the Sword.”
rubiconcrest says
The question to ask is whether he is a devout Muslim or if he has renounced the violence inherent in Islam and considers himself to be an apostate?

he deserves to be deported

More suicidal insanity.

I’m sure this Jihadist feels properly chastened after *that* harsh dressing down…sarc/off

Yes–he having “helped the U.S. pursue terrorists” is not exactly something he offered voluntarily.

In other words, we may consider citizenship sacrosanct, but Muslims sure as hell don’t. Most immigrants to the Gulf States are *never* able to secure citizenship, no matter how many generations they have been there.
Meanwhile, even plotting violent Jihad against real citizens is not enough for the traitor to be stripped of citizenship and deported here. Madness.
seabird says
We “have to fight them over there so we don’t have to fight them over here” but we’ll allow them to immigrate over here so we don’t have to fight them over there.
This appears to be our Govt’s policy.
Does anyone else realize how far our country has strayed from its founding principles and how devalued our citizenship has really become?
Marina says
A well deserving young man? How is he that! He is a traitor. Is U.S going down the same sewage drain that Europe is heading towards or already in it.
Wellington says
Every Muslim in a free country (almost all of which are Western countries and this in and of itself should tell anyone of sense that Western Civilization blows every other civilization away in this respect and in several other respects as well {e.g., being the ONLY civilization, in addition to exploring freedom as no other civilization remotely has, which developed the scientific method, i.e., the combination of reason plus tested observational methods) is a parasite feeding upon liberty. No exceptions, whether dhimmi apologists for Islam or Muzzies themselves.

An utterly treasonous judge, govt needs to appeal his decision.

Slightly off topic. I’m outraged at President Trump’s protection of jihadis in Idlib, Syria & threats against Russia. This article expresses my outrage better than I can. I’m amazed that generally Trump seems to be getting a free pass on this one.

Another deal is cut, a terrorist aids the US to get out of being deported or jailed ( pretty boy would have experienced terror himself in the Big House, complete with a big ol’ burly “wife thing!” Of COURSE he was frightened!!), sounds like justanother routine day in the “Law” offices of SMARMY SICK AND SLEAZE, ESQ.

It is indeed part of US immigration and nationality law that a minor child of lawful permanent residents gets naturalization when his parents obtain it. When I was a consular officer in Bangkok I had a case where a family returned to Thailand to see a grandmother who had been diagnosed with only a few months to live; and that few months turned into more than the statutory six months a green card holder is allowed to remain outside the US. There was a question of whether the daughter had lost US residency, but I found out that the parents had naturalized when she was eight years old. Go across the hall to see about a passport.
Re Muhammad Hassan Khalid, had I been judge, I would be wondering why ICE hadn’t brought a possible case for the loss of citizenship. Our law also provides that a naturalized citizenship engaged in serious crimes of moral turpitude can have naturalization revoked and get deported. Only if you’re born a citizen are we truly and immutably stuck with you.

Oh, heck, just let in more Jihadis for more fun and excitement in the USA.
Jihadis just want to have fun.
Ohhh, its a Jihad in the USA!

Expect more of the same. Ivy League schools and especially law schools have been promoting sedition against the US government since early in the 20th century. When far left activist judges, that had come out of communist dominated Ivy League schools, began obtaining majorities within the highest courts in the land during the 60’s they began ILLEGALLY LEGISLATING FROM THE BENCH. They opened the doors of the rest of American education to far left activist academics with the supremely far left court decisions of the 60’s and 70’s that made Christianity, and apparently anything that they consider connected or related to Christian morality illegal on any tax payer supported property. This was NOT the will of the people and it totally contrary to the Constitution but the far left had to take over education in order to dumb down the population. The media has made people believe that they have to submit to this illegal form of tyranny!
Today students are graduating from high school hardly able to read and write much less able to understand how their government is supposed to work! The local schools districts are now dependent on state and federal funding (thanks to the globalization of our economy by leftist elites of industry and finance and the politicians that they own) in order to keep their doors open which gives those government entities some influence in how the schools educate students but the people still have a say in their schools IF they get involved. Get on the school board! Don’t let them hire far left activists to administrate in your schools or to teach your children!
Colleges and universities are taking huge amounts of money from large multinational foreign manufacturing corporations, big money people, and big banks that have enriched themselves by using the slave labor waged workers of communist China and corrupt third world countries to manufacture their products! The far left activists that are at the top of the pile in those entities buy influence through those contributions. Influence that gives them input into class content, campus activities, and even how many foreign students are accepted! The Saudis and other oil rich Muslims also influence those schools with huge contributions.
What we are seeing manifest through the left today has been growing for decades. The elitist higher learning institutions of the west were the womb of the leftist movement that we see today. The fascists of Europe joined with the fundamentalist Muslims of North Africa for two world wars in an attempt to destroy western civilization. Today the totalitarians are untied with the fundamentalist Muslims again. After WWI the Ottoman Empire was divided by the west and the new nation states created by the western powers in that region underwent an aggressive westernization program. The Muslims that immigrated to the US had been educated in western schools or in westernized schools in their own countries that western educators taught in. During the transition of power to the globalists during the 60’s the policy of westernization in that region was changed to destabilization. It began when Carter let the Shaw of Iran get out of hand and then overthrown. He then allowed the radical religious leaders that had been banished to France to return to Iran. That is when Iran became the world’s largest sponsor of Islamic terrorism. Thanks, Jimmy! We hear only lies about what goes on in the middle east. The Muslims that immigrated to the US before 1980 were mostly peaceful, did not practice sharia, and were willing to live by our laws but that is not the kind of Muslim that the left wants in the west. They want the fundamentalists that will help them totally overthrow the Constitution, open the borders completely, and destroy western civilization at last. The ideologues want their leftist utopia of a “global community.” If they succeed they will not last long. The elites who already own over 60% of our economy and the economies of the west will get rid of them first because the ideologues will see the true nature of these monsters and want to stop the slaughter. Too late.
