The circumstances under which Laith W. Alebbini was allowed to enter the United States in the first place need to be closely examined. Was he examined for pro-jihad sympathies? He almost certainly wasn’t; to have done so would have been “Islamophobic.”
“Dayton man convicted of trying to join ISIS sentenced to 15 years,” by Mark Gokavi, Dayton Daily News, June 13, 2019:
DAYTON — The man convicted in the first terrorism-related trial in the Southern District of Ohio was sentenced to 15 years in prison, a judge ruled Thursday.
Laith W. Alebbini, 28, was found guilty last year by U.S. District Court Judge Walter Rice, who held a bench trial in Dayton’s U.S. District Court.
Alebbini had been indicted for conspiracy and knowingly attempting “to provide material support and resources to a foreign terrorist organization in the form of personnel to work under ISIS’s direction and control.”…
The judge said Alebbini earned about 26 months of jail-time credit and will be on supervised release for 25 years, but he expects Alebbini to be deported after his sentence.
Walter Sieruk says
First, how absurd and terrible that is ISIS jihadist /Muslim was not thoroughly vetted and thus allowed to enter the United States..Since this was allowed to occur , at least , once which is showed in this specific case it may have happened ,many times before, We may be rather sure it has which is ,indeed, very tragic.
Second, we mall know the awful reality that the Muslims who are the jihadist members of that vicious, brutal and murderous jihad entity, ISIS, are still scheming future Islamic t terror/murder attacks in the USA both against the American citizens and this nation as a whole. Nevertheless, we ,as Americans , should not live in fear nor be afraid to go to different places or do different things out of being afraid of an ISIS jihad attack . For to live in fear would make the jihadists of ISIS happy.
Still, even though we need not live in fear we should be alert and aware of our surrounding as likewise be on the lookout for anything appears wrong or out of place. As in “What’s wrong with this picture?” Then if anything is seen that doesn’t seem right then go and inform and right person about it.
For example , that tee -shirt vendor in New York City , at times square, who saw some smoke come out of a parked van .So he went a told police officer about it. As it has been said “If you see something, say something.” This may be put in another way, be the words of a former US President, Thomas Jefferson, For his wise words apply, even more now, then they did in his own time. For Mr. Jefferson declared “Let the eye of vigilance never be closed.”

I am starting to thing that the individuals who allow people like Alebbini into the United States need to be arrested and put in jail. We really need to shut the borders and place a moratorium on migration.
GRichard says
Then the entire Democratic Congress needs to be so incarcerated. And remember, they have the blood of every American citizen who has been injured or killed by illegal aliens on their hands over that past three years, while promoting the “Big Lie” ( Presidential wrongdoing) The nonstop drumbeat of lie after lie was espoused by none other that the infamous National Socialist (Nazi) Propaganda Minister Josef Gobbels himself, as he believed if heard enough times the lies would be believed. And all too often they were!
Walter Sieruk says
That scheming jihad-minded dangerous Muslim may, in time, be set free by being deported from America actually means the in another nation he will join his jihadist allies and further plot murderous jihad attack against the USA or some other Western nation . What evil ! What madness this all is !
Furthermore, the jihadists who compose ISIS have a strong and malice-filled “obsession” with the United States and when it comes to their Islamic scheming against America and Americans for future Islamic terror attack and they with their Quran based ideology “are not going to stop” shows the malicious demon-like zeal they have. So we need to ,not live in fear ,but still report to the police anything the seems not to look quite right. As in “What’s wrong with this picture?’ As it has been said “If you see something, say something.” The wise words of Thomas Jefferson may apply to this subject. For Mr. Jefferson declared “Let the eye of vigilance never be closed.”
Moreover, , concerning ISIS there remains the ,very important, question “How to truly defeat ISIS once and for all ?” The answer to that question was provided in a speech by the ISIS spokesman, Abu Muhammad al Adnani, now dead, in this speech he had declared “True defeat is a loss of willpower and desire to fight…” he further explained “We would be defeated and you victorious only if you are able to remove the Quran from Muslim hearts.” All this leads to a very important question: “Is the Quran the Word of God or is it a fabrication of a man. Thus, is the Quran the truth or a fiction and a hoax ?” The jihadists, as those of ISIS use many verses from the Quran as the main source of justification for their violence, mayhem and murders. As found in For example, 2:191.. 4:47 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4 The answer is clearly given on pages 145 through 157 in THE ISLAMIC INVASION by Robert Morey in which he wrote a section on the Quran with its self-contradictions. Just two of the many he cited are the following “The Quran differs on whether a day is a thousand years or fifty thousand years in God’s sight’ and “Who was first to believe? Abraham or Moses [Sura 6:14 versus 7:143]? The above is inconsistent and illogical. Further, Morey wrote about “The fact that Judaism and Christianity broke up into different sects was used in the Quran to prove that they are not of God [Suras 30:20-32. 42:13, 14]. Yet Islam has broken up into many warring sects and therefore cannot be true if the Quran is right.” Moreover, Morey in his book shows many more contradictions and absurdities in the Quran, there are and how Muhammad incorporated extra Biblical and Jewish folklore along with pre-Islamic Arabian myth and parts of Zoroastrian and Hindu stories into the Quran. Furthermore, the Muslims claim that “the Quran is the direct, literal word of God unmodified in any way by the Prophet who uttered them at the bidding of God.” Nevertheless, in the book UNVEILING ISLAM by Ergun Mehmet and Eethi Caner has shown that the Quran was modified in the following account on pages 45. “Muhammad felt the need to improve on the words of Allah, since he changed Allah’s wisdom for his own on several occasions. A hadith tells of the nonchalant emendations of Muhammad:’ On a number of occasions he [a scribe] had, with the Prophet’s consent changed the closing words of verses. For example, when the prophet had said ‘God is mighty and wise ‘ Adbollah b. Abi Sarh suggested writing down ‘Knowing and wise’ and the Prophet answered that there was no objection. Having observed a succession of changes of this type, Adbollah renounced Islam on the grounds that revelations, if from God could not be changed at the prompting of a scribe such as himself. After his apostasy he went to Mecca and joined the Qorayshites.’ Other writers reveal that later Muhammad and his people did go war with the Qorayshites and he personally killed Abdollah. Obviously Abdollah knew too much and Muhammad wanted Abdollah’s knowledge to die with him.” In conclusion, the Quran is not only a fiction, it’s also a hoax.
CRUSADER says
Good to quote a U.S. President, since Jefferson first fought Islamic terror and jihad on the seas;
Trump will have a lasting effect, hopefully….
Great that Trump celebrates his birthday coinciding with USA Flag Day!!
Remain ever vigilant!
mortimer says
The US needs to find more reasons to deport and use all the reasons currently on the books. If the Western countries refuse to deprogram Muslims, we must deport them. Many Muslims are ticking time bombs.

*Good*.

I haven’t read it all Robert.
A face like that tells me all.
Spawn of the devil.
Duplicitous, murderous, deluded, oossessed, monster.
Imbecile !!!
Anyone see satan in that face ?
Imagine bumping into that thing in a dark ally around midnight.
Someone else can pray for this thug’s salvation.
I’m not up to it.
I’m too angry and too far from saintliness to do the right thing right now.
What I carry in my heart for this cult right now is best left unsaid.
mortimer says
The self-righteous Laith W. Alebbini is overfilled with a dark hatred and hostility directed against the dirty kufaar … ‘for the sake of Allah’.
Muslims cannot see the absurdity of their vicious ideation and unconscious rage, thus they should all be helped to leave through various incentives.
Giacomo Latta says
It’s easy to hate the world when you are a loser, especially after having been introduced to the koran.
Mung Shuonglun says
Yes. Serve the sentence and deport him. God bless America.
Jay says
Finally, something that sounds like an attempt at an appropriately harsh sentence.

Washington Expects to Repatriate 20 ISIS Suspects

Adam says
ISIL bad Hamas good? Abbas PA good Iran bad? Saud good Taliban bad (unless we are at the table discussing terms)? Turkey(NATO buddy) bad Egypt good? Jordon (western educated) super great friends Iraq, is Iraq still a country or just a subdivision of Iran?
Its all pretty clear.
And why just 15 years? And why deport him? If what he did is so bad, why ship him off to some other poor innocent people, why not hang him? Does this violate the cause?
Can’t hear a clear mission or objective, FUBAR.
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
No Jay, not harsh, Just. Justice for the innocent men, women and children who no longer have to worry for their lives and safety living with a lunatic such as he. Thank you to the Judge for whom we owe a debt of gratitude.
Job well done!

OLD GUY says
15 years and deportation is a step in the right direction for those who aid the terrorist. The next step should be if your aid or action directly results in the death of anyone you should automatically receive a DEATH SENTENCE with deportation to HELL.
Reziac says
Just castrate and deport him. No need to feed him for 15 years first. And then he could serve as a warning to others: if you mess with the U.S., you’ll never enjoy your goat again!

Why stop the man? He might have been dead by now.
