The light sentence is bad enough in itself, but what will be done while Yosvany Padilla-Conde is in prison to disabuse him of his jihadist sentiments? Absolutely nothing; any such action would be “Islamophobic.” Instead, it is far more likely that his jihadi beliefs will be reinforced, and he will come out of prison more of a determined and hardened jihadi than he is now.
“Second man sentenced in plot to join Islamic State,” by Bruce Vielmetti, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, August 7, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Federal prosecutors couldn’t get a 20-year sentence for a man who really wanted to join the Islamic State, but that didn’t stop them from seeking the same sanction for the man’s less-culpable follower.
Again, the judge imposed a far less severe sentence — five and a half years.
Yosvany Padilla-Conde, 32, pleaded guilty in April to helping Jason Ludke travel to Texas in 2016, with plans to then enter Mexico and ultimately go to Syria. Their journey was at the direction of FBI agents posing online as IS recruiters, who arrested the pair near San Angelo.
Padilla-Conde made videos in which he swore allegiance to the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, and said he planned to travel to the Middle East….
Assistant U.S. Attorney Ben Taibleson told U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman that foreign travelers are still essential personnel to ISIS campaigns of rape and slaughter. “It’s not theater,” Taibleson said.
Taibleson noted that Padilla-Conde disappeared without telling the mother of his child, slept in the car on the way to Texas and made videos pledging his allegiance to ISIS.
He requested a sentence of almost 20 years, but noted that Ludke was sentenced to seven years, “if not the shortest, then one of the shortest sentences ever imposed by any federal court on a non-cooperator defendant” convicted of violating the material support for foreign terrorist groups law.
Defense attorney Craig Powell recommended a sentence of 33 months — the time that Padilla-Conde has already spent in jail awaiting the resolution of his case. He said his client had had an abusive early life after coming from Cuba in the wake of his father’s murder, living in several states, then foster care and developing mental health issues….

Unsubscribe

What a stupid question…..he can unsubscribe himself easily..stupid is as stupid does?
J D S says
I still say…sesperate prisons for those convicted of any jihad connection.
Angemon says
You should have a link on the bottom of the newsletter email reading “unsubscribe from this list”…

Samir was pulling this claptrap on other threads, and was called on it by Robert Spencer and Marc Louis.
gravenimage says
Also note that Samir calls Jihad Watch, which opposes Jihad, a “Jihad newsletter”. Just grotesque calumny.
CRUSADER says
Weird stuff.
And counter productive, too, for it seems to be a waste of Samir’s time.
Robert Spencer says
Samir Mokdad: once again, you are lying. You are not subscribed to Jihad Watch and have not been. You are not receiving it, unless you’re getting it under another email address that you have not disclosed to us. Your comments under two articles today are wholly false and dishonest. Are you trolling, thinking you’ll discredit the site by making people think we don’t honor unsubscribe requests? That seems to be a peculiarly trivial and ineffective form of trolling.

How?

How can this be? I thought Islam was a nice, pleasant religion of peace! I thought it was just about praying 5 times a day and doing kind things to one’s neighbor!
This can’t be! When they convert, they immediately shift into violence! they join Islamic State (thought that was eradicated!), or try to bomb a Jewish retirement home. Do they misunderstand their religion?
It sure looks like they don’t misunderstand their religion! The new convert studies his new religion and tries to do everything it tells him to do. They must get their ideas about violence and war against infidels from Islam itself!
Do you suppose it would be a good idea to find out more about why Islam incites so many people to violent murder?
End PC says
Evidently, even many judges never learned of the true nature of Islam and its violent teachings & goals. I still fault all the many traitorous world leaders, including some of our presidents excluding Trump, who pronounced the super lie that Islam is a religion of peace. Too many people then just didn’t investigate Islam & its extremely violent history of conquest and subjugation.
These very dangerous men should have been given at least 20 years, better more.

The Muslims are CROWING about the Light Sentences, given to Mr.Allah’s FOLLOWERS. We need some LAW & ORDER OFFICIALS

mortimer says
Mohammed said that allegiance to Islam is the same as allegiance to JIHAD …
Narrated Mujashi: My brother and I came to the Prophet and I requested him to take the pledge of allegiance from us for migration. He said, “Migration has passed away with its people.” I asked, “For what will you take the pledge of allegiance from us then?” He (Mohammed) said, “I will take (the pledge) for Islam and jihad.” – Bukhari 4,52,208
James Lincoln says
mortimer, you are correct.
Islam= Jihad.
Islam= Jihad.
Islam= Jihad…, etc…
mortimer says
China is the only country that is imposing any form of deprogramming on Muslims. Western countries will not end the jihad problem until they start clandestine programs to deprogram Muslims out of Islam.
Many of the best de-Islamizing deprogrammers are former Muslims. They know what arguments are effective in opening the closed minds of Muslims.
Millions of Muslims are dropping out of Islam every year. It could be more if governments funded de-Islamization experts. When Muslims leave Islam, there are that many fewer jihadists on the street.
Ernie says
Dear Mortimer , can you give some evidence of ” millions of Muslims dropping out of Islam every year “? And can you add to that evidence of positive results concerning the deprogramming of Muslims out of Islam? I’ve asked you many times for proof , and you never react or deliver . I really don’t understand such an intelligent and learned person as you are indeed , coming up with such foolishness/nonsense Mortimer . And I’m sorry to say it this way for I don’t want to insult you , but I think it’s time for you to deliver (evidence) , or stop making such claims . Seems fair to me . : Ernie
James Lincoln says
Mortimer,
Yes, it is true, that China is IMPOSING deprogramming on Muslims on a mass scale. The Muslims are not undergoing this deprogramming voluntarily. I’m not sure that forced deprogramming would pass US Constitutional muster in the United States…
I’m not sure what kind of clandestine deprogramming operations would look like in the United States. Perhaps you could enlighten us all on your thoughts. And I’m NOT trying to be a smartass.
You are correct, ex-Muslims are most valuable in the anti-jihad effort.

At jihadist dance class for the Taliban-sponsored musical.
“Five hundred and four houris for 7 jihadi brothers”
“And a one and a two and a twirl..no.no no!,NOT NOW KHALID..too soon..
…”allahu akbar”….. [kaka BOOM}”
Thank allah i’m an infidel.
And as for pictures of muhammed ridiculing him?
How about his WINGED FLYING HORSE WITH A WOMAN’S FACE AND A PEACOCK TAIL,you know the one he flew on to Jerusalem from mecca k17.1 to visit that mosque that inconveniently for muslims didn’t exist in mo’s time?
I mean THAT wouldn’t ridicule muhammed would it?

They could pass for brothers.
“Hi,i’m Abdool and this is my brother Abdoool”
And here we see that idiotic muslim beard again,that false islamic piety,that vacant stare and the usual low level of intelligence and lack of wisdom of many of these converts.
If someone converts to Judaism or christianity:-
They must strive to obey those commandments of God
{the 2 chief ones plus the ten exodus 20 ones}
The Bible teaches OBEDIENCE to God’s laws.
If someone converts to islam:-
“commandments,what commandments?”
allah says it is ok to break them.
The koran teaches DISOBEDIENCE to God’s laws
[see the koran:ok with murder,adultery with enslaved women,stealing from infidels etc.,no Golden Rule,no “Love thy neighbor” (see k5:51)
allah and his koran give PERMISSION to violate God’s commandments;that’s what really attracts these idiots to islam,a pagan Arab cult with its false god who admits to being a champion deceiver k3:54,commandment-of-God violating ‘holy koran,and a self-confessed false “prophet” muhamme{al tabari 6;111 plus..laughably,FAILING the Poison Test.allah didn’t save muhammed..]
