Sounds as if Seitu Kokayi is deeply committed to emulating Muhammad, who consummated his marriage with nine-year-old Aisha when he was 54, and waged jihad battles on numerous occasions.
“D.C. Islamic teacher talked sex and extremist propaganda with student, prosecutors say,” by Rachel Weiner, Washington Post, January 19, 2019:
A Maryland computer developer shared extremist propaganda with young students at a D.C. Islamic organization while engaging one in sexual conversations, according to prosecutors in Alexandria federal court.
Seitu Kokayi, 29, a District native, is charged only with coercion and enticement of a minor after exchanging sexual messages with a 15-year-girl. But prosecutors highlighted his interest in Islamic extremists while successfully arguing that he should remain incarcerated until his trial in April.
Judge Leonie M. Brinkema said in court Friday her concern over that radical interest was part of why she was keeping Kokayi in jail. She also ruled that statements he made to the FBI after his arrest in August can be used against him at trial.
Kokayi, a married father, had worked as an IT content developer for the University of Maryland University College and taught the Koran on weekends to children ages 5 to 16 at the First Hijrah Foundation in the District, according to court filings. He no longer has either job, the documents state.
According to court documents, he told the FBI he expressed romantic feelings with one 15-year-old girl and began having sexual conversations with her over iPhone FaceTime. It was a “humongous mistake,” he told the agents, and a “bad choice.” Kokayi is accused of sending pornographic video to the girl but not of receiving any in return.
In arguing for his release Friday, Kokayi’s defense attorneys noted that no other alleged victims have been identified. But prosecutors produced evidence that Kokayi had been sharing extremist Islamic propaganda with the 15-year-old and other underage girls, including lectures by the deceased al-Qaeda recruiter Anwar al-Awlaki. He discussed religious martyrdom with one underage girl, according to prosecutors, and sent her a video called “The Role of Muslim Women,” which features female militants with automatic weapons.
Another teacher told FBI agents that Kokayi expressed interest in joining Islamic fighters overseas. A student told them he took students to play paintball in Virginia and insisted she join, saying she should learn to fight because “it could be important someday.” A decade ago, Brinkema oversaw a case involving men who trained for jihad by playing paintball in Virginia….

We can blame Muslims but really this is the filthy underside of human nature. By insisting everybody is equal and putting our culture down by demanding respect for others we are so inviting the lower instincts and social diseases to spread through our once solid and fair country.

Uh, Islam glorifies base human behaviour, all condoned by Allah himself.

Much of this linked article reminded me of Moe’s yen for Aisha and their playtime together:

I’m shocked the corrupt WaPo would report this.
SB says
I’m so pleased Judge Brinkema is keeping a creep like kokayi locked up.
It was a “humongous mistake,” he told the agents, and a “bad choice.” No shiite Sherlock.
Next time I’m sure he’ll be much more sneaky.
Westman says
Apparently Kokayi didn’t want any of those proper, “female militants with automatic weapons”. Could he have married an underaged girl in a Muslim country and had the blessing of the US government to bring her home as a second wife?
Ah, but one in the right hand without a hijab…..so tempting.

Good for the prosecutors, the Judge, the FBI agents, the University, and the student who told on him.
Perhaps there will be some justice in this case. It’s off to a good start. Pity for his poor child.

So few, even here, will see the irony or even recognize the text. Sad.
