“Defense attorney Susan Kellman said Alimehmeti had struggled to fit in after moving to the US aged six from Albania.”
Yeah, that explains it. Doesn’t everyone who struggles to fit in as a child stockpile weapons and try to join a terrorist group?
“ISIS fanatic dubbed ‘The Dentist’ who hoped to behead people and stockpiled knives and a pocket chainsaw in his Bronx apartment is jailed for 22 years as judge brands him a ‘ticking time bomb,'” by Isabella Nikolic, Mailonline, December 9, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
An ISIS fanatic who was dubbed ‘The Dentist’ and hoped to behead people with a pocket chainsaw has been jailed for 22 years after a judge branded him a ‘ticking time bomb’.
Sajmir Alimehmeti, 26, who lived in an apartment in the Bronx, was sentenced by US district judge Paul Englemayer, who listed the terrifying stash of weapons he amassed.
They included a military-grade survival knife with a five-inch blade, three tactical knives with four-inch blades, two credit-card-sized folding knives, a commando wire pocket saw, a 24-inch pocket chainsaw, a rucksack designed for tactical combat, a tactical ski mask and handcuffs.
Judge Englemayer said it was impossible to conceive of a ‘benign reason’ for Alimehmeti to ‘stockpile weapons that would be used to restrain, gut, or decapitate a human body’, according to the New York Post.
Alimehmeti reportedly used coded language when referring to places he wanted to travel to ‘brush his teeth’.
Prosecutors also said that he claimed he watched ISIS beheading videos to keep himself motivated while exercising.
He allegedly initially tried to travel to the Middle East to join ISIS twice in 2014 but was stopped by British authorities both times.
He is accused of being stopped at Manchester Airport in October 2014 when security found nunchucks and camouflage clothing in his luggage.
And he is accused of trying to get to the Middle East again in December that year but was stopped by security at Heathrow Airport in London when they found images of ISIS fighters and improvised explosive devices on his cellphone….
Defense attorney Susan Kellman said Alimehmeti had struggled to fit in after moving to the US aged six from Albania.
She claimed he was radicalized as a teenager during a stint for robbery in the Fishkill Correctional Facility by Mohamed Mamdouh, one of the masterminds behind a foiled plot to blow up a Manhattan synagogue in 2011.
In addition to 22 years in prison, Alimehmeti also was sentenced to five years supervised release.

There’s that One Finger salute of the islamic fascist again,the tawheed,telling us all how smart they are with their one digit IQ..
I mean,here he is,a member of the religion of “peace” in jail for acting in a way totally opposed to any idea of peace thus showing us that islam is NOT a religion of peace.
islam attracts such bright people…and they don’t ever get Irony or Logic.
Imagine the warden checking his pockets..
“Knife,koran,explosives,prophylactics,candy,drugs..and ..looks like a chainsaw….”
In WW2 the Germans had ships called “pocket battleships” which amazed me as a kid as I loved to build model ships myself…imagine a battleship that could fit in your pocket
Lion heart says
The western leaders and politicians are DUMB beyond measure ! They should have deported ALL Muslims living in the West whether those Muslims are peaceful or not !!! that’s what we Canadian Christians citizens originally from Iraq would suggest ! It’s not an invitation to violence against them but to fend the evil of their ideology .
Michael Copeland says
What race is Islam, again?
keya says
So after the supervised release he would automatically become a model citizen! Right?
willardy says
I would suppose, after surviving prison and learning the way of the convicts, he will either have recruited more support in house or become even more a risk with contacts.
Failing to assimilate earlier in life, suggests there is just one road for this person. Behold the future for America- complements of a failing justice and political system.

And how many millions of people have had similar experiences coming to the US as children without trying to mass slaughter their fellow Americans?

Janice, you find lawyers of many different groups defending Jihadists–including sometimes Jewish lawyers.
Dan says
I carry around dried pieces of pork for dog treats, and in all my vehicles, blatantly marked pigskin gloves.
Would love to find driving gloves cause…
If a Muslim ever shows me that one finger, it’s a pretty good bet he’d be squealing like a pig once the fight was over and I told him.
Oh and I HAVE seen sites that offer GREAT LOOKING pigskin clothing.
Leather boots.
All sorts of great looking leather jackets.
Belts and wrist and watch bands.
And purses for the ladies.
Since it’s the Season of Giving, perhaps we should be considering fashionable safety wear for family and friends.
mortimer says
Look, Dan, jihadists won’t worry about your pigskin when they are fighting you. You’ll just excite their anger even more. The way to get them is to tell them that the Koran is of human origin. That’s the nub. They can’t prove it isn’t of human origin. The evidence is overwhelming that men wrote the Koran as a hoax.
gravenimage says
Mortimer, the idea that if you are being attacked in a Jihad terror attack that telling the Jihadists that the Qur’an is of human origin would help seems sadly implausible.

“Yeah, that explains it. Doesn’t everyone who struggles to fit in as a child stockpile weapons and try to join a terrorist group?”
Robert Spencer’s classic statement.
The other one is of course that X was poor and uneducated and turned to terrorism.
Doesn’t everyone who is poor and uneducated turns to terrorism?
Lilith Wept says
I grew up so poor I didn’t have an indoor bathroom until I was 14 YO, and ate what grew in the family garden (this was in America in the 1960’s) And I haven’t turned to terrorism!
The elephant in the room is : Islam causes terrorism. Because the the Islamic god and Mohammed both command moslems to be harsh to unbelievers, fight against unbelievers until there is no religion but Allah’s …..
Mohammed himself said “ I have been made victorious through terror”
Moslems are commanded by Allah to emulate Mohammed as he is the perfect Moslem man, so Terrorism is inherent to Islam …..
The problem is Islam’s mainstream core doctrine, it’s texts and teaching.
And It’s not “radical or extreme” Islam …that implies that there are a few individuals that are just misinterpreting Islam , and that as soon as we identify and stop those people from acting on their misinterpretations, everything will be just fine! That we will eliminate terrorism.

I grew up poor too, Lilith, and never considered turning to terrorism.

Okay, this is bad, but I can’t resist.

Either way, it’s not looking good.

It is a sign of “Tawhid”–that no partner may be “associated with Allah”. This is what Muslims claim Christians do, failing to understand the Trinity. This sign is especially popular with ISIS.
Janice Mermikli says
Yes. it is from the Qu’ran (4:171): “Cease! Say not three. It is better for you.”
Mohammed, an ignorant and unlettered individual, misunderstood the doctrine of the Trinity, as well as most of what Christianity consists of, as he did with Judaism, even though he borrowed from the two Abramaic faiths.
I blame Khadija for starting Islam. If she hadn’t bankrolled Mohammed, it wouldn’t have even got off the starting blocks.
Still, no point telling that to his followers. They think he is the bee’s knees!
FYI says
The tawheed represents the Oneness of allah.
allah is ONE…{..with TWO RIGHT HANDS…and ONE SHIN…}
allah:the god with TWO RIGHT HANDS
{Sahih muslim 1827}
k4:171,the rejection of the Trinity does not just deny Jesus but is ALSO a denial of God’s Holy Spirit of wisdom:allah doesn’t want muslims to know about THAT,preferring that they rely on his pagan Arab fake knowledge instead.
An ex-muslim who is now a Christian and who understands the concept of the HS as God’s Wisdom{which all TRUE prophets have access to and which muhammed didn’t}will see perfectly how k4:171 proves the koran to be false.
“It is better for you” says allah to his muslims that they don’t know about the source of God’s Wisdom manifested to mankind at the time of Jesus to give people the ability to know about God ..and allah doesn’t want muslims to KNOW about that!
Hey allah?Are there 3 sides to a 3 sided triangle?
allah:Cease! say not “three”:it is better for you
elee says
So for this he gets three halal hots and a halal cot at taxpayer expense, right? Why dont the folks who pay for all this get to say: no dawa in our building? Clearly imams and their like contribute nothing to offender reformation and the Koran promotes criminality. So why is this permitted?
mortimer says
Teaching convicts MORE about Islam is futile. You cannot remove the ‘jihad’ from Islam, nor the ‘Islam’ from jihad.
Jihad is the most important pillar of Islam upon which the other pillars all depend.

Obama is a MUSLIME. Go to youtube where you can hear him mocking the Bible and speaking reverently of the “Holy” Koran. I LOL when he made his statement about how much Muslims have contributed to the US since Revolutionary (as in American Revolution) times!

Of course in obama’s case,that one finger might represent something completely different..directed at the American electorate…
gravenimage says
Obama’s father was Muslim, his stepfather was Muslim, and he was registered as a Muslim in school in Indonesia and attended Qur’anic school there.
He *may* have left Islam, but never specifically affirmed that he had. He did attend a church of sorts–but this was more about “activism” than about Christianity. It is all quite equivocal at best.
And how does “No Muzzies Here” do harm to the fight against Jihad?

mortimer says
Robert Spencer’s sarcasm towards the preposterous illogic of defense attorney Susan Kellman is entirely deserved. NO ONE in American stockpiles weapons in order to ‘fit in’ unless they want to join a terrorist organization.
I never realized that defense attorneys thought that it was LEGIT to join a TERRORIST organization!
Egad, Kellman. Why don’t you use the ‘blame society’ defense?
(‘My client is not to blame … SOCIETY let him down … and besides, you should pity him, because, after murdering his parents, he has become an ORPHAN!’)

mortimer says
If Sajmir Alimehmeti truly wanted to ‘fit in’, he would have ‘AMASSED’ a collection of football, basketball, baseball and hockey equipment and joined several sports teams in order to use up his youthful energies and find sports buddies.
mortimer says
If they taught all jihadis the game of GOLF, it would probably help them FIT IN and help them to ASSIMILATE better than any other form of DEPROGRAMMING.

Mortimer, do you really believe that the problem with violent Jihadists is that they haven’t learned to play golf? I never learned to play golf either, and I have no plans to slaughter my fellow Americans.
There are millions of Americans who do not play golf who are good citizens and a threat to no one.
Besides, what about this case?
“Robert Spencer in PJ Media: What a Jihadist in Canada Just Revealed About Islamic ‘Tolerance’”
Rehab Dughmosh, a Muslim woman who tried to murder people with a golf club and a knife in a Canadian Tire store last June, appeared in court Friday and was furiously defiant…
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/11/robert-spencer-in-pj-media-what-a-jihadist-in-canada-just-revealed-about-islamic-tolerance
Somehow this pious Muslimah saw a golf club and just considered it a weapon to use against the ‘filthy Infidels’. It didn’t make her want to fit in.
gravenimage says
Mortimer, I looked up the stats–not even 24 million Americans play golf:
“As of 2017, the number of golf participants in the U.S. stood at approximately 23.83 million. Around 8.8 million of these participants are said to be avid golfers”
https://www.statista.com/topics/1672/golf/
Does that mean that hundreds of millions of good Americans should be suspect because they don’t hit the greens?
Somehow I think the problem is more Islam than not having learned to wield a nine iron…
WPM says
If Islamic Jihadist played golf every time they hook a shot or sunk another ball into the water hazard they would blame the Jews. Every time they lost a ball , took a big devoid out of the sod out of a miss place tee shot ,or screwed up a put shot they blame Christians . If it started to rain they blame women in general. They would be screaming ,yelling ,jumping up and down at every shot. Much how they spend their personal life at home or work useless ,never improving their game ,or personal life, never taking responsible for their own short comings. Moslems are the perfect misfit toys ,the only way to improve them is if they reject Islam and take personal responsible for their lives.
