Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Texas: Muslim migrant imprisoned on jihad terror charges recruited fellow prisoners for the Islamic State

Dec 15, 2019 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

What has been done while Mohamed Ibrahim Ahmed has been in prison to disabuse him of his jihadist sentiments? Why, nothing. Nothing at all. In fact, his commitment to Islam has been reinforced as officials no doubt gave him a Qur’an and allowed him to meet with other Muslim inmates for prayers. To have taken any other course of action would have been “Islamophobic.”

“Beaumont inmate found guilty of attempting to provide support to ISIS, making false statement to FBI,” by Kierra Sam, KBMT, December 13, 2019:

…Mohamed Ibrahim Ahmed, a “45-year-old international terrorist imprisoned in the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, has been convicted of additional offenses in the Eastern District of Texas,” U.S. Attorney Joseph D. Brown announced Friday, Dec. 13, according to a Department of Justice news release.

Officials say, Ahmed, an Ethiopian national born in Eretria [sic], was found guilty by a jury of attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization (ISIS) and making a false statement to the FBI, following a seven-day trial before U.S. District Judge Marcia A. Crone….

Department of Justice full release..

BEAUMONT, Texas – A 45-year-old international terrorist imprisoned in the U.S. Bureau of Prisons has been convicted of additional offenses in the Eastern District of Texas, announced U.S. Attorney Joseph D. Brown today.

Mohamed Ibrahim Ahmed, an Ethiopian national born in Eretria [sic], was found guilty by a jury of attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization (ISIS) and making a false statement to the FBI, following a seven-day trial before U.S. District Judge Marcia A. Crone.

“This terrorist has shown that he was committed to his ideology and to violence,” said Eastern District of Texas U.S. Attorney Joseph D. Brown. “It was important to pursue these charges not only to keep him in prison, but to deter others who would recruit in jail cells.”

“This defendant is a repeat offender. While in prison on terrorism charges, Ahmed continued to recruit fellow inmates to join ISIS to train them and to help them plan future attacks,” said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers. “As long as terrorists keep offending, the Department will continue to bring them to justice. We have done so in this case.”…

According to information presented in court, in 2013 Ahmed was convicted in the Southern District of New York of conspiring to provide material support to and receive military-type training from a foreign terrorist organization. Ahmed had attended an al Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan in 1996 and was a member of the Brandbergen Mosque network, which financially and logistically supported other terrorist groups. A federal judge in New York sentenced Ahmed to 111 months in federal prison and he was transferred to the Federal Correctional Institute (FCI) in Beaumont, Texas to serve his sentence.

Ahmed continued his terrorist activities while serving his sentence at FCI-Beaumont. He recruited at least five inmates to join ISIS and to conduct terrorist acts in the United States after their release from federal custody, telling them that he was aligned with ISIS and supported al Shabaab and al Qaeda. From prison, he celebrated the Ariana Grande concert bombing and other acts of terror in the news, telling an inmate, “They kill kids, we gonna kill kids.” Ahmed wanted the inmates he was recruiting to either travel abroad to join ISIS, or create “sleeper cells” within the United States to carry out attacks.

Ahmed provided would-be recruits with a training manual on how to carry out violent jihad, including topics such as “how to carry out guerilla war,” “selection of human targets,” and “how to carry out assassinations.” He even held physical training exercises with other inmates in the prison yard to get them in shape to carry out the acts of terror he was plotting. Ahmed also discussed a plot with fellow inmates to bomb the Federal Detention Center in New York City as a revenge for his prosecution there….

    This is likely going on in prisons all over the West.

    What absolute crap. What defenders against Jihad are targeting children? But Muslims always have to feel their utter savagery is justified.

    How was this Jihadist able to smuggle manuals into an American prison? Why was this allowed to happen?

    Ahmed and any family he has should be immediately deported never to return and in exchange be given persecuted Christians from Eritrea, Nigeria and other near by countries including South African farmers who are being murdered by South Africans!
    Why should American tax payers have to pay the upkeep of these criminals?

    It’s beyond comprehension that we don’t immediately deport scum like this! No, let’s let them further infest our prison system and recruit additional clones. Insane.

    Federal prison gives them everything they need. They have their rights you know. Prayer room, computer access, training grounds. You know stuff like that. Oh and don’t forget the halah food.

    When will .prison officials learn a lesson? It will never happen, too costly for one reason, but every convicted Muslim Terrorist should be held in confinement separately from other inmates.

    Of course, you have the perfect answer for deviants and persons full of hate. Where else can you get blessed for taking a non islamics property, rape, murder and beatings. Throw in racism and it fits the prison populations thought process that it is always someone else fault, and that they are now warriors in a battle that justifies their beliefs. JD.S has the right idea.
