“I just want to ask you for mercy and leniency for me. … you will never regret it.”
If U.S. District Court Judge Walter Rice falls for this, he will be gambling with the lives of innocent civilians. Of course, it would be “Islamophobic” to bring up Muhammad’s dictim “war is deceit” (Bukhari 4.52.268) in this context, but Alebbini readily admits below that he agrees with the Islamic State’s agenda, although he claims to reject its violence. Alebbini has almost certainly heard that saying of Muhammad.
“Dayton man convicted on terrorism counts asks for ‘mercy and leniency,’” by Mark Gokavi, Dayton Daily News, March 9, 2019:
A Dayton man convicted of conspiracy and attempting to fly overseas to join ISIS said a federal judge would “never regret” giving him a sentencing break.
Laith W. Alebbini, 28, told U.S. District Court Judge Walter Rice on Friday afternoon what motivated him to try to get to Syria was to see if ISIS was the right group to join to fight the Bashar al-Assad regime.
“Maybe I was confused, but my intent was to be part of the solution,” Alebbini said. “I just want to ask you for mercy and leniency for me. … you will never regret it.”
Addressing the court during a sentencing hearing, Alebbini disputed prosecutors’ characterizations of his thinking and said he admires the United States and hopes for a United States of Arabia.
Alebbini said many Islamic groups like ISIS favor that ideology.
“I would never kill innocent people because of that,” he said. “I agree with the agenda but disagree with the violence.”…
Alebbini’s federal public defender Thomas Anderson has advocated for a sentence of time served (nearly two years) and denounced the 30- to 40-year range he said has been proposed by pretrial services and prosecutors….
A cousin who grew up with Alebbini in Jordan testified by telephone from Canada. Mohammad Ababneh said Alebbini was “all talk” and “incapable” of violence. Alebbini has no criminal history.
Ababneh said Alebbini had been depressed over being unemployed, was smoking marijuana regularly and felt like a “major disappointment” to their family….
James says
I do not believe his claims about being against violence and in favor of a solution. His lawyer coached him on what to say to deceive the court. These people know what works and appeals to conscience do this. And what is non-violent behavior? It can be things like donating money to jihadi groups, making propaganda for them, supporting them in other ways. The best thing is to send a message that mercy is not on the agenda when one wants to help ISIS or other jihadis.

ISIS has nothing to do with Islam … just wait for the surprise ending

Mortimer…I have viewed this a few times since you posted it. BRILLIANT!
Thank you!
Tempted to forward it to Robert Azzi but probably not a sound idea.

The “solution” isis sought is the same as joseph stalin: death of men (and women and children).
There is a rule in law: ignorance is no excuse. Neither is “confusion” when attempting to be a terrorist and being caught.
J D.S says
I wish this judge was able to hear those crying for mercy by those being beheaded by ISIS before he gives mercy to this man who seems to believe is the ideology of islam.
mortimer says
aggreeing with JDS: the fellow who joined a terrorist organization in order to be ‘HARSH’ or ‘SEVERE’ or ‘VIOLENT’ towards kafirs (K.48.29) … well, now he wants the kafirs to be ‘merciful’ or ‘lenient’ … even after he has committed crimes against humanity.
ntesdorf says
He went straight from Jihad to Taqqiya.
Terry Gain says
A statement to a Judge that “you will not regret giving me a lenient sentence” is an implicit threat that “you will regret giving me a stiff sentence”. And he agrees with the aims of ISIS but not their methods.
The Judge is a dullard if he doesn’t get 40 years.
Ashley says
Agree, Terry. I could understand asking the judge for mercy, but have never heard the “you will not regret giving me a lenient sentence” horseshit before.
Alebbini is a dangerous man.
mortimer says
Comment: Alebbini will remain ‘dangerous’ as long as he is not deprogrammed right out of this death cult.
Our motto: “It’s the IDEOLOGY, stupid.”
gravenimage says
Mortimer, when has anyone like Alebbini been “deprogrammed” by Infidels?
mortimer says
GI, a number of vicious jihadists have left Islam … you are not paying attention. Whenever polemicists expose Islam, Muslims are leaving Islam. I invite you to do an in-depth study of Al Fadi. I am involved in this work. You are not informed. Kindly inform yourself.

Judge would be more than just stupid and slow as a dullard, he would be complicit !!!!
Rob Porter says
The now politically correct West is filled with dangerous dullards, Justin Trudeau, Theresa May, Angela Merkel, Macron and the imbeciles who put them in office. Their ignorance of Islam is more frightening than Islam. The judge is simply part of this group. It will never occur to him to read the Qur’an to discover what is behind Islamic violence.
Michael Copeland says
An implicit threat, yes.
Rather on the lines of “The future must not belong to….”
Trish says
I believe we’re all aware that the so-called Elite are using the Muslim ideology and people to get rid of the white (and other) populations. The Muhamaden’s have been killing outsiders as well as EACH OTHER as long as they have existed. Combine that with the black-out of TRUTH on mainstream media and now on YouTube (which was the last place Conservative voices could be heard on Social media) plus the brainwashing of children to believe in Socialism and gender being “fluid ” and making boys feel like DEFECTS so basically we have very few young men left to fight for our values and beliefs…Then toss in all the “hate-speach” laws and the destruction of our own religion so that our young people have empty heads and empty hearts….Just waiting to be filled with whatever the ELITE decide to fill them with………
Wellington says
He would never kill innocent people? Well, no good Muslim would but this depends very much on who are “innocent people.”
“Innocence” in Islam means something entirely different from what ordinary people see as innocence. By now this should be known by a shitload of kuffaars.

Spot on, Wellington.

Comments on meaning of ‘INNOCENT’ in Islam from interview on BBC of Anjem Chaudary:
Hardtalk Host: Can infidels be innocents?
Anjem Chaudary: No, at the end of the day innocent people – when we say innocent people we mean Muslims. As far as non-Muslims are concerned, they have not accepted Islam, and as far as we are concerned, that is a crime against God.
Hardtalk Host: I want to be clear about what you are saying – this is very important – you are saying that only Muslims can counted as innocent people?
Chaudary: As far as far as Muslims are concerned, you are innocent if you are a Muslim – then you are innocent in the eyes of God. If you are a non-Muslim, then you are guilty of not believing in God.
Conclusion: “When we say innocent people we mean Muslims” – one cannot put it more clearly or starkly than that.
mortimer says
More on ‘innocent’ …
•Omar Bakri Mohammed, the Muslim leader, who on July 20 publicly condemned the deaths of “innocents,” but at the Selby Centre in Wood Green, north London, on July 22, 2005 referred to the 7/7 bombers as the “fantastic four” and explained that his grief for the “innocent” applied only to Muslims. “Yes I condemn killing any innocent people, but not any kuffar.”

Among other details, note that Alebbini would routinely beat his wife and wanted his one month old son to die a martyr…

“Maybe I was confused, but my intent was to be part of the solution,” he said.
[Yes, “the final solution.”]
“I would never kill innocent people because of that,” he said.
[Under the Sharia law that Alebbini embraces, anyone who has been called to Islam and not converted is not innocent. This comes from the Ishaquist interpretive method of reading the Koran in whatever way is necessary to square the Koran with what seems to be known about the actions of Muhammad the man. The man becomes the measure of the supposed words of God, making Islam a purely idolatrous religion.
Muhammad issued “convert or die” commands the day before sacking a city and slaughtering its inhabitants, yet the Koran says killing innocents is wrong, hence according to Ibn Ishaq those who have been called to convert and have not converted are not innocent.]
“I agree with the agenda but disagree with the violence.”…
[Liar (“for war is deceit”)]

[Yes, “the final solution.”]

abad says
Alebbini knew precisely what he was doing when he decided to fly to Syria and join ISIS.
And no, he does not belong back here in the states.
CRUSADER says
As tormentor, would he have been lenient?
So, for that there are consequences.
Sam says
Has he been converted out of Islam? Of course not.
CRUSADER says
Apparently he could get DE-PROGRAMMED….
ElderlyZionist says
I often visit Dayton Ohio. I was there just yesterday. Dayton is a badly rusted mid-western city that has lost much of its industrial base, and is trying to stabilize and rebuild by welcoming immigrants.
We don’t need this one. Alebbini is a Jordanian citizen and a legal permanent resident of the United States. Please do not release this lowering menace to walk the streets. Lock him up, then deport him once his sentence is served.

Ohio: Muslim who tried to join ISIS asks for leniency: “I was confused but my intent was to be part of the solution”
………………..
And what is the “solution” as this pious Muslims sees it? Why, the imposition of savage Shari’ah law, the rape of Infidel girls and keeping them as sex slaves, and genocide against unbelievers.
Has this pious Muslim disavowed any of that? I didn’t think so…
mortimer says
Yes … Laith W. Alebbini and also probably say that ‘Hitler meant well’ too. (sarc/off)
ALEBBINI’S ALIBI is LAME.
mortimer says
correction: Yes … and Laith W. Alebbini would also likely say that ‘Hitler meant well’ too. (sarc/off)
