He was sentenced to six years in juvenile detention 2015 for the earlier jihad plot, but was recently paroled. Did the parole board determine that he was no longer a risk to wage jihad? Apparently. But what was done while he was in juvi to disabuse him of his jihadist beliefs? Nothing at all, of course. To have attempted such a thing would have been “Islamophobic.” And now he will go to prison, and once again, the views that led him to wage jihad in the first place will not be challenged. If anything, they’ll be reinforced.
“He grew up in York and twice tried to join ISIS to kill Americans. Now comes prison.” by Andrew Dys, The Herald, June 11, 2019 (thanks to Robert):
Zakaryia Abdin grew up in York, where he went to York schools and worked washing dishes at his parents’ restaurant.
Then Abdin twice tried to join ISIS to kill Americans, authorities said in several court cases related to Abdin’s case. The first time he was just 16 years old and still a student at York Comprehensive High School, The Herald previously reported.
The second time came after law enforcement officials and others repeatedly tried to warnSouth Carolina parole officials that Abdin was a threat to Americans despite being caught, The Herald previously reported.
Monday in federal court in Charleston, Abdin will be sentenced to as much as 20 years in federal prison.
Abdin, now 20, is scheduled for court at 10 a.m. after pleading guilty in August 2018 to attempting to provide material support to the terrorist group ISIS, according to federal prosecutors and court documents…
After his release from juvenile detention in 2016, Abdin again plotted to join ISIS and kill Americans, federal prosecutors and FBI agents said. Agents had monitored his activities and intercepted communications where Abdin told an undercover FBI operative that he wanted to be a martyr and that victims would “pay the price with their blood.”
Abdin, of Syrian heritage, was arrested by the FBI in 2017 in Charleston before he could board a plane for Jordan. He has been in jail ever since.
In 2015, York Police Department officers arrested Abdin when he was 16 years old on a weapons charge after he was caught in communication with others trying to plot an attack on military groups and civilians in North Carolina. Abdin had an ISIS flag in his bedroom and plotted an attack on soldiers, police said.
Abdin admitted to law enforcement after his arrest in 2015 that he would kill officers and civilians if anyone interfered with his ISIS plans, law enforcement officials said.
Because of his age and status as a juvenile, Abdin was convicted in York County Family Court in 2015 of the weapons charge, prosecutors said.
Abdin was sent to juvenile detention in Columbia, where he could be until age 21.
When asking to be paroled in 2016, Abdin claimed he had changed and no longer wanted to join ISIS…
Abdin was released by South Carolina’s juvenile parole board.

This worm has an Isis flag in his bedroom and his parents didn’t know? I say that his parents should be investigated also

Spot on, Keya.

Therein lies the problem…parents, parole officials. Prison officials, the court system and do on and do on. We have a BROKEN system in America today and our elected officials and the SYSTEM itself just won’t let anything happen to correct the problem.
I’m too old to still be around when the BROKEN SYSTEM tears America to shreds but in a way I’d like to be, just so I could say …I TOLD YOU THIS WOULD HAPPEN but in another way I’m glad I won’t be around. It does make my heart ache to know that many of my Campbell still be here.
J D.S says
OOPS..E R R O R the last line of my above post should read….”know that many of my family will still be”here”
Andy says
Absolutely.

The news article is rather chopped up. However, it is clear that he has not changed. His eyes confirm that fact. In twenty years, he will just be older; otherwise, no different.
Mamahoda says
Completely chopped up and diff to follow. Bottom line says, however, that some bleeding hearts and their feelers let the sob out to proceed as planned. Nice, just flipping beautiful. At what point does our own law enforcement of any agency, decide to protect the American citizens?
Kilauea says
Deport the entire family. If parents knew they could be deported for not keeping their children in line they might start to police themselves. Nothing will be done however. The politicians are in bed with the Jihadis. Blood may be thicker than water, but for our politicians, money in their pockets is worth more than patriotism.
Mamahoda says
100% agree

Muslim-eyes POS. If we can’t neutralize him the quick and cheap way, at least surveil every breath he takes.
mortimer says
Zakaryia Abdin and all jihadists should be sequestered away from the general population of prisoners so they will not be infected with their jihadism.
In detention, jihadists should be offered a modern, scientific study of the Islamic source texts. Once they have gone through the factual and logical errors in the Islamic texts, they will be disabused of the delusion that Islam is of divine origin. The errors in Islam’s source texts prove their purely human origins.
elee says
After a millennium and a half and a billion and a half conversions, how can one believe that mere truth will suffice? I ask this with respect for your astuteness and knowledge. No need to recapitulate the lies and errors, I just want to know why you believe that people like this POS can be caused to wake up some day kind compassionate and decent.

“Once they have gone through the factual and logical errors in the Islamic texts, they will be disabused of the delusion that Islam is of divine origin.”
You’re making one big assumption: that they have the capacity – and the will – to respond positively to evidence-based logic.

Mortimer, why would a Jihadist want to listen to the “filthy Infidels”?
Hugh Fitzgerald says
He was arrested just as he was about to take a plane to Jordan. Why not have let him go, to endure life in whatever Muslim country is willing to take him in (to enjoy wonderful Muslim life to the fullest, in some place like Afghanistan or Yemen) and never to be allowed to return to America or toi any Western country (Interpol, please take note). American taxpayers will save hundreds of thousands of dollars, and Abdin will not be able to conduct prison Da’wa.
And may the police build a possible case against Abdin’s parents, for what they may have known about his plans and not reported. And what did his parents teach him? Investigate and ideally, prosecute. Don’t let them get off.
And should you live in, or be passing through,York, South Carolina, make sure to avoid what is likely the only Arab restaurant in town.
elee says
Remember that Interpol got captured lock stock and barrel by the Nazis during the 1930’s and has lots of Muslim members now. Would Interpol send “bad-hijab women” back to Persia on demand, for violating the criminal laws of that regime? How about a Russian dissident? Or an Indonesian or Pakistani “blasphemer”?

All good points, Hugh.

“A leopard does not change its spots.”
His parents live the American dream, owning their own business. Yet there is no respect or loyality to the country that allowed his family to make something of themselves, and give him a life of privilege.
Islam is the tao for a sociopath, someone with antipersonality disorder. The ideas of murder, rape, wife abuse, and many other depravities appeal to them. It is why so many incarcerated individuals convert to this pathetic excuse of a religion. Granted, not all followers are like this. As Brigitte Gabriel lo elequantly said in Silent Conquest “there are 1.2 billion muslims around the world. Tge majority are peace loving people, but it’s estimated that 15-25% of them are radicalized. That translates to 180-360 MILLION people. That’s the population of the United States of America.” These are absolutely frightening statistics!!! Lets break it down further…1.1% of the American populace is muslim, translating to 3.8 million individuals. That is 7700 per state. The LOW estimate of 15%, divided by 50 (50 states) means there are 1150 radicalized muslims in each and every state. Some may be in prisons, but there are enough roaming free to give the average American nightmares.
The people caught planning jihad attacks should, without and doubts, be convicted of treason against the US, stripped of their citizenship, and deported back to their country of ancestrial origin. If many generation American, then to the main hub of islam, Saudi Arabia. The people that want sharia law passed in the free world should also get shipped out. Let them go back to where they came from to be reminded why they left in the first place. Maybe then they will have regrets for not assimulating, for back in those countries they have NO rights. Let them beg their governments for the welfare check they so eagerly accept in the free society they sponge off of when they can’t get a job for lack of a thriving economy. Let muslim doctors deal with the mothers (or fathers) who find it offensive to be asked to remove their niqab so the doctor can understand the symptoms of their ailing child.
And why arent the other 85% of the peacful muslims speaking out in protest against the 15% that is giving their religion a bad reputation? Where ARE they? Why are they sitting idly by and watching the “infidels” suffer at the hands of this minority? Maybe there would be less attacks against the muslim world if we see them rise and condemn the actions of this sociopathic 15%.
One bit of advice to the muslim leaders that are demanding more tolerance from the western world in wake of the jihad attacks. You first have TO respect to GAIN respect.
elee says
Islam respects nothing and no one. Probably a big selling point, and they never have to teach their copious spawn anything about empathy or trying to understand the other man’s position. I agree with your entire post but I suspect the last line is pure wishful thinking.
Keys says
Was he reading the Koran in “prison” ?
How does the Parole Board know he’s had a change of heart ?

The killing eyes look inside the world, and became victim right away. He did not do anything. It is all our fault!
Islam is the religion of Empathy, love sympathy, forgiving your children and if they got to western, not to kill them for family honour, and not to be proud, when your son left home to fight the infidels and learns in the Jihadi camps how to decapitate, torture and murder people(raping, he knew already)
People want Rome revived, we have Rome, the gladiator, the colosseum,with the people cheering like crazy when somebody or an animal was killed again. The people loved it, so what progress have we made wit tolerating all that and cheering on, like they do now, real foolish people!, but you keep on sowing and it get worse and worse, so does the reaping, you goody good leftists, keep on going !(sarc)

There was once a time when sedition and treason against the state or national government equated with death or, at the last, banishment from said nation forever thereafter.
