Remember: Muslim activists including Linda Sarsour pressured New York City to shut down much of its counterterror operation on the grounds that it was “Islamophobic.”
“Queens Woman Sentenced to 15 Years’ Imprisonment for Teaching and Distributing Information About Weapons of Mass Destruction,” Department of Justice, January 10, 2020 (thanks to the Geller Report):
Earlier today, at the federal courthouse in Brooklyn, New York, Asia Siddiqui was sentenced to 15 years’ imprisonment by United States District Judge Sterling Johnson Jr. for her role in planning to build a bomb for use in a terrorist attack in the United States. Siddiqui and her co-defendant, Noelle Velentzas, pleaded guilty on Aug. 23, 2019, to a charge of teaching or distributing information pertaining to the making and use of an explosive, destructive device, or weapon of mass destruction in furtherance of a planned federal crime of violence. Velentzas is awaiting sentencing.
“With the sentence imposed by the court, Siddiqui has been held accountable for her crimes. Inspired by radical Islam, Siddiqui and her co-defendant researched and taught each other how to construct bombs to be used on American soil against law enforcement and military targets,” said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers. “They were thwarted by the excellent work of the agents, analysts and prosecutors who are responsible for this investigation and prosecution. For this, we are grateful.”
“Lives were saved when the defendants’ plot to detonate a bomb in a terrorist attack was thwarted by the tireless efforts of law enforcement,” said U.S. Attorney Richard P. Donoghue for the Eastern District of New York. “This is precisely the reason why countering terrorism remains the highest priority of the Department of Justice, and working with the FBI, the NYPD and our Joint Terrorism Task Force partners, we will continue to do everything possible to stay steps ahead of aspiring terrorists and their evil plans to harm Americans.”
“Asia Siddiqui and co-defendant Noelle Velentzas were more than prepared to kill Americans and fellow New Yorkers. Thanks to the dedicated work of the FBI’s JTTF in New York and our many law enforcement partners, they never succeeded. Today, Siddiqui’s fate has been sealed as we await one final sentencing that will decisively bring this case to a close,” said FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge William F. Sweeney….
Between approximately 2013 and 2015, Siddiqui and Velentzas planned to build a bomb for use in a terrorist attack in the United States. In furtherance of their plan, the defendants taught each other chemistry and electrical skills related to creating explosives and building detonating devices, conducted research on how to make plastic explosives and how to build a car bomb, and shopped for and acquired materials to be used in an explosive device. They discussed similar devices used in past terrorist incidents like the Boston Marathon bombing, Oklahoma City bombing, and 1993 World Trade Center attack and researched potential targets of an attack, focusing on law enforcement and military-related targets.
Siddiqui’s interest in violent terrorist-related activities was reflected in her written submissions to a radical jihadist magazine edited by Samir Khan — a now- deceased prominent figure and member of the designated foreign terrorist organization al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). In a poem called “Take Me to the Lands Where the Eyes Are Cooled,” Siddiqui wrote that she “taste[s] the Truth through fists and slit throats” and that there is “[n]o excuse to sit back and wait – for the skies rain martyrdom.”
When the defendants were arrested, law enforcement officers seized propane gas tanks, soldering tools, car bomb instructions, jihadist literature, machetes and several knives from their residences….

Okay. So just who received the instruction and information these bozos distributed? I’m sure such information is easily found on the internet, the dark web, and publications such as Inspire but I’m not feeling too warm and fuzzy that these two may have dispensed dangerous knowledge, materials, and instruction to others unknown…

Martyrdom must be one of the few ways a Muslim woman can get into Paradise since Muhammad said most of the people in Hell are women. I know he said male martyrs get 72 houris but what do women martyrs get? Maybe they are the ones who get to come back again and then be martyred again and then come back again and be martyred again …..etc.

“houris”?
Anyway, no worries. Women martyrs get to come back as Ms. Marvel (aka Kamala Khan). Imagine, these women live eternally as comic book characters. They are strong, powerful women that can choose to wear the hijab.
That is, until Marvel introduces the Muslim rape gangs…

Wikipedia says: The houris (/ˈhʊəriz/;[1] from Arabic: حُـورِيَّـة ,حُورِيّ, romanized: ḥūriyy, ḥūrīya,[note 1] adjectival and feminine singulative formation from حُـور ḥūr, from حُورٌ عِينٌ ḥūr[un] ʿīn[un] “fair ones, black-eyed ones”) are female beings in Islamic mythology and Middle Eastern lore analogous to nymphs of Greek mythology. Houris are described as “splendid companions of equal age [or well-matched]”,[2][3] “lovely eyed”,[4] of “modest gaze”[5] and virgins[6] who will accompany the faithful in Jannah.[7]
Here is a link to the entire article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houri
One interpretation makes it sound as if some women do get to come back time and time again as most beautiful virgins … and those are the houris.

Cogito,
I learned a new word thanks to you.

Muslimah Jihadis don’t get Houris. They just get to stay out of hell.
commonsense says
“Radical Islam” is cited as the inspiration for the beliefs and activities of Siddiqi and her pal. God, the bigshots in National Security still don’t get it, even eighteen plus years after 9-11. I despair.
Jay says
I wonder if these two vile terrorist women were citizens?? Were they collecting welfare illegally?
So proud of our law enforcement agencies for ending their reign of terror! Fifteen years is not long enough!
God bless America!
Trump,2020 ????????
Rob says
When do Tlaib and Omar face the electorate next. That will be the litmus test
CogitoErgoSum says
Nov. 3, 2020 … the same day Trump is elected for his second term.

When the next successful bombing occurs in New York, those who voted to reduce surveillance of Islamists will have blood on their hands.
Mere ‘political correctness’ won’t stop a single jihadist.

New York City: Muslima gets 15 years for planning to build a bomb for a jihad massacre
………………..
Better sentence than it might be, anyway.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Given the circumstances, 15 yrs is a good sentence. But one more thing: we must pay to monitor her when she gets out, so put a tax on Moslems and their mosques to help defray the cost of Islamophobia. Yeah, that’s right, fear of Moslems. But a rational one. Somebody’s got to pay, let it be them, let them pay for their sins against civilization.
OLD GUY says
No one should ever listen to Linda Sasour. The 15 yrs. sentence is fine but we should deport her to the muslim country of her choice.
