This is what Ruslan Maratovich Asainov’s own lawyer said: “He’s converted to Islam. He lives by Sharia law. He doesn’t believe he has any obligation to abide by the American legal system.”
We have seen that time and time again in cases in the United States as well as in Canada, Europe and Australia: jihadis refusing to stand for judges and proclaiming that they obey only Allah, not “manmade law.”
Prosecutor Saritha Komatireddy said Asainov “considers himself a citizen of the Islamic state.”
But wait: doesn’t Asainov realize that the Islamic State has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam? How is it that all these misunderstanders of Islam misunderstand it in exactly the same way?
“Accused ISIS sniper from Brooklyn would ‘take up arms’ if released: feds,” by Ruth Weissmann and Ebony Bowden, New York Post, September 11, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A former Brooklyn man accused of being a top ISIS sniper admitted he would “take up arms” in support of the terror group again if he was released, prosecutors claimed Wednesday.
Ruslan Maratovich Asainov, 42, who was busted in July on charges of providing material assistance to a terror group, was ordered to stay behind bars at his arraignment in Brooklyn federal court, with Judge Nicholas Garaufis agreeing he posed “a danger to the community.”
“He confesses that if he were released, he would take up arms in support of ISIS again,” prosecutor Saritha Komatireddy told the judge, who agreed to keep Asainov detained at Metropolitan Correctional Center, where he is under heightened security.
The Kazakhstan-born alleged jihadi appeared in the courtroom looking solemn, but refused to speak. His lawyer pleaded not guilty on his behalf — saying Asainov wouldn’t do it himself “because he doesn’t recognize the American system of laws.”
“He’s converted to Islam. He lives by Sharia law,” lawyer Susan Kellman told reporters after the proceeding. “He doesn’t believe he has any obligation to abide by the American legal system.”
Komatireddy told the judge Asainov was a “clear danger” and a flight risk, citing his contacts in both Syria and Kazakhstan.
“He considers himself a citizen of the Islamic state,” she said, adding that he was a “high-level member” of the terror group.
The feds say Asainov, who is a naturalized US citizen, moved to Syria six years ago to join ISIS but lived in Brooklyn from 1998 to 2013 — when he left behind his then-wife and young daughter in Bensonhurst.
While there, he was trained to be one of the terror group’s top snipers and firearms instructors, documenting it all in incriminating messages and photos, prosecutors allege….

Little by little the narrative of the Globalist pseudo-journalists is under attack from the reality that JIHAD is Islamic. Indeed, jihad is an ‘essential’ teaching of Islam (usul-ud-deen) which must be believed and practiced for a Muslim to achieve Islamic heaven. Muslims who do not conduct jihad are called ‘rubbish’ or ‘scum’ by Mohammed.
Ruslan Maratovich Asainov understands his jihad obligation perfectly, and he knows that jihad conflicts with the laws of almost all countries today, even Islamic countries. I believe all countries should institute the death penalty for Islamic terrorists, because that is the only deterrent there is, besides constant surveillance, but it’s hard to distinguish the jihadists from lax or moderate Muslims. I believe at least some Muslims will think twice about joining a terrorist group if they know that a humiliating trial and death sentence by hanging are in their future. That would save many lives.
Jack Holan says
You’re right on target and even if it’s a few that could mean many innocent people being saved!
Barbara Quigley says
Totally agree. These people are not sane and should be in prison for life otherwise American citizens are in danger

Don’t forget, they also condone lying to “infidels”.

JHL says
If he doesn’t want to abide by the American legal system, then what is he doing here?

He’s NOT here like my forebears were to become an assimilated American citizen. He’s an invader, a hostile enemy combatant intent on overthrowing our way of life & establishing a satanic nightmare!

So true, Chuck.

!00% correct- They’re all coming here to usher in their islamic caliphate to America. The Quran tells them that islam will rule the entire world. Muslim Brotherhood’s had a strong plan in place since the 80’s to migrate here & Europe to take the West completely over for islam. This is it-
To Immigrate, Populate, Infiltrate, Dominate, Confiscate, Subjugate Annihilate…BUT Never, ever assimilate!!
Peter says
JHL, they are not here to join us but to conquer us.
(4:100) He who emigrates in the way of Allah will find in the earth enough room for refuge and plentiful resources. And he who goes forth from his house as a migrant in the way of Allah and His Messenger, and whom death overtakes, his reward becomes incumbent on Allah. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, All-Compassionate.

You mean if you let him go he’ll leave the US? Of course, the only sane outcome would have him, a naturalized American, having a fair trial for treason before facing a shooting squad…
Laura Matthews says
He openly admits he doesn’t have to live by the American legal system? Isn’t that part of being an American? Sentence him, after he served his time, strip him of his citizenship and send him to where he came from.. Why are we so likely-livered that we can’t stand up for ourselves?

Muslim’s need to be told that when they break Western Law they are breaking God’s
Law! God’s Law – Judeo-Christian Law is from God himself as witnessed by thousands of witnesses at Mount Sinai!
God’s Law is above man-made Sharia Law!

The sad thing is as the Muslim Population grows in western Countries the evil lifestyle that this guy displays will only get worse Thanks Obama your Islamic immigration policies have ruined the US
L M says
Muslim raised Obama did it purposely to help them destroy our power. He deliberately weakened our country & gave them access here to promote their agenda… He was never for American blacks, he was a great deceiver working for islam only. Ignorant, blind U.S. citizens voted for him. It was so easy for me to see what her was doing cause I studied up on his life before 2008. I knew what his goal was but so many blacks we eager for a first black POTUS. He is exactly 1/2 white from the womb of a socialist/commie white woman. He fooled millions. His goal was to help muslims gain control in America like they have in Europe.
Dexter Wilson says
Just remember Taqyya, you can never expect a Muslim to take an oath from anyone or any government that is not Muslim. They can lie for their faith. They should never be allowed into the United States. There are thousands of Christians that should have been let in but OBAMA ONLY ALLOWED MUSLIMS, THERE WAS A TRICKLE OF CHRISTIANS DURING HIS ADMINISTRATION. His mentor was a lying atheistic socialist, Saul Alinsky, the same mentor for Hillary.
