Where did Jesus Wilfredo Encarnacion, who is presumably a convert to Islam with a name so eminently Christian as that, learn about his new religion? Has his mosque been investigated? Why not? Why is it being assumed that he was a “lone wolf” who existed in a vacuum, with no one around him who shared his views or aspirations?
“Manhattan Man Sentenced to 15 Years in Prison for Attempting to Provide Material Support to Terrorist Organization,” Justice Department, August 11, 2020 (thanks to Creeping Sharia):
The Department of Justice announced today that Jesus Wilfredo Encarnacion, a/k/a “Jihadistsoldgier,” “Jihadinhear,” “Jihadinheart,” “Lionofthegood,” was sentenced to 15 years in prison for attempting to provide material support to Lashkar e-Tayyiba (LeT), a Pakistan-based designated foreign terrorist organization responsible for multiple high-profile attacks, including the infamous Mumbai attacks in November 2008. In addition, Encarnacion was sentenced to a lifetime term of supervised release. Encarnacion pleaded guilty on Jan. 22, 2020, before United States District Judge Ronnie Abrams, who also imposed today’s sentence….
“Jesus Encarnacion plotted to travel abroad, to join and train with Lashkar e-Tayyiba, infamous worldwide for the jihadist murder of innocent civilians, and to carry out shootings, bombings, and beheadings in behalf of that terrorist organization,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss for the Southern District of New York. “Thanks to the FBI, the NYPD, and the Joint Terrorist Task Force, Encarnacion has been sentenced to a lengthy prison term for his crime.”
According to the criminal complaint, indictment, other court filings, and statements during court proceedings:
In November 2018, Encarnacion expressed his desire to join a terrorist group in an online group chat, where he met another individual (CC-1). CC-1 introduced Encarnacion to an individual who, unbeknownst to CC-1 or Encarnacion, was in fact an undercover FBI employee (UC-1). Encarnacion repeatedly expressed, in the course of recorded communications through a social media service with CC-1 and through an encrypted messaging service with UC-1, his allegiance to and support for LeT, which, since approximately 2001, has been designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization by both the United States Secretary of State and the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Over several months, Encarnacion discussed his desire and plans to join LeT overseas so that he could receive training and participate in violent acts of terrorism. For example, Encarnacion told UC-1 that he was “ready to kill and die in the name of Allah” and sought UC-1’s assistance to help Encarnacion travel abroad to serve as an “executioner” for LeT, stating, “I want to execute. I want to behead. Shoot.” Encarnacion further stated that he aspired to commit terrorist attacks (“a bombing and shooting”) in the United States, but lacked “guidance” and “guns” to do so.
By early 2019, Encarnacion and UC-1 agreed on a plan that Encarnacion believed would allow him to join LeT in Pakistan. Encarnacion told UC-1 that he had made arrangements to travel to a particular city in Europe (the “European City”), as the first step in traveling to Pakistan to join LeT. Encarnacion purchased an airline ticket for a flight scheduled to depart on Feb.7, 2019, from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK Airport) to the European City. On Feb. 7, 2019, Encarnacion traveled to JFK Airport, where he was arrested by the FBI after he attempted to board that flight.
In addition to the prison term, Encarnacion was also sentenced to serve a life term of supervised release….
Spiro says
Life term of supervised release
What’s that ?
He should be.life term no release
Keys says
Don’t worry, Spiro !
A well-paid trained and vetted Sociologist with a clipboard, pen, and file cabinet will supervise his release at least once a year. /sarc
curious says
The “supervised release” reminds me of Usman Khan, the jihadi who launched a stabbing attack at a 2019 conference on prisoner rehabilitation. Among the first to die was a course coordinator for a prisoners’ rehabilitation program.

Supervised release “should” be released to NOK for disposal of the remains.
But, we know that won’t happen.

and we tolerate a CULT of violence and murder in the USA why?

He’s a real Muslim following the Koran and Hadith. 72 virgins await this muttonhead.
I wonder what the lefties have to say about this as they love Islam.

The US Department of Justice announced that Jesus Wilfredo Encarnacion was sentenced to 15 years in prison for attempting to provide material support to Lashkar e-Tayyiba (LeT) and a lifetime term of supervised release.
I would’ve preferred this scenario:
Death row at ADX Florence, Colorado – with a maximum of five years for appeal.
elee says
Supervised release? The only way that will work for this POS is if you surgically install a monitor and hire 4 people full-time to listen. He belongs in a 4′ X 4′ cell with a welded door, forever.

“Do unto others, as they would do unto you.” He should be executed. The methods that he wanted are beheading, shooting, or bombing. He should be beheaded or shot, although in these suicidal jihadi cases, I think there is much to be said for drowning in pig blood and feeding the corpse to wild dogs.
A problem with Islam is the deluded jihadis fall in love with death, so the prospect of ordinary execution fails to deter them. The 8th amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment, so we can’t legally torture them the way they would torture us, but drowning is a common cause of death and would thus probably be legal. Objectively, drowning in pig blood is no worse than drowning in water, but it might have a greater deterrant effect on jihadis. Also, the corpse must be disposed of somehow, and wild dogs are highly evolved to do that.
Otherwise these terms of years and lifetime supervision resemble deficit spending. We are placing burdens on future generations to monitor a growing number of lethal threats. Which one will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back? He will always pose a mortal threat, so execution is the only way to protect the lives of innocent people both now and in the future.

* deterrent; sorry for the typo, I would edit the comment if I could.

“A problem with Islam is the deluded jihadis fall in love with death”
Correct, and it’s almost if they’re dead already…
Amit Prasad says
they are breeded with hatred in their DNA.
gravenimage says
The problem is the ideology of Islam–not DNA. This Jihadist is a convert to Islam–so what does genetics have to do with it?
FU says
Bill, calm down. Your term is up soon and I promise an extra virgin when you kill yourself. Are we good?
PS: you don’t have to wait.

NYC: Muslim says he is ‘ready to kill and die in the name of Allah…I want to execute. I want to behead.’
…………………………
“I want to execute. I want to behead”–think of the things that you and the people you love wish for–bet that beheading people is not even on your list. But then, you aren’t a pious Muslim…
Linde Barrera says
My nice Muslim neighbor originally from Uzbekistan, Rustam, told me that Allah created death first, then life. The more I learn about Allah, the more I truly believe that Allah is really Satan the devil. It is so sad that so many Muslims do not know the real god they supposedly worship.
Meek says
“Love your neighbor as you love yourself” ,the greatest commandment. It’s so amusing when i see Muslims acknowledge killing as a norm.
Yet they say terrorist aren’t practicing the true Islamic religion even though instructions about killing people are clearly stated in their religious book.
I simply can’t phantom how a belief can program people to kill.
It’s simply a cult,cant say more than that.
OLD GUY says
Well we know what he will be doing for the next 15 yrs, studying the Quran and furthering his hate. He’ll get the chance to recruit other upstanding criminals to join his hate filled islamic religion. And come out an upstanding citizen.
