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

Portland, Oregon: Muslim migrant distributed ISIS material on stabbing and bombing techniques, is released

Nov 8, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer 10 Comments

“Mothafar was released on conditions including limitations on travel and the use of electronic devices.”

Was he not in a wheelchair when he “conspired with ISIS members to provide material support to ISIS”? If he was wheelchair-bound at that time, isn’t releasing him now just inviting him to go back to his Internet jihad?

“Portland Resident Indicted for Providing Material Support to ISIS,” Justice Department, November 6, 2020:

The Department of Justice announced that a federal grand jury in Portland returned a five count indictment against Portland resident Hawazen Sameer Mothafar, 31, charging two counts of conspiracy to provide material support to a designated terrorist organization and one count of providing and attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2339B(a)(1). In addition, the indictment charges Mothafar with one count of false statements in an immigration application in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1546(a) and one count of false statement to a government agency in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001(a)(2).

Mothafar had his initial appearance in front of U.S. Magistrate Judge Jolie A. Russo yesterday.  Due to the fact that Mothafar has physical disabilities and is confined to a wheelchair, the government did not seek detention. Rather, Mothafar was released on conditions including limitations on travel and the use of electronic devices.

According to the allegations contained within the indictment, between February 2015, and up to the time of arrest, Mothafar conspired with ISIS members to provide material support to ISIS.  This support included a range of activities.  Mothafar produced and distributed ISIS propaganda and recruiting materials that he created and edited in coordination with official ISIS media operatives located overseas.  Mothafar produced, edited, and distributed a number of publications and articles including “Effective Stabbing Techniques,” which provided detailed guidance on how to best kill and main a target in a knife attack, a tutorial on using explosive ignition devices entitled “How Does a Detonator Work,” and propaganda that encouraged readers to carry out attacks in their home countries if they could not travel overseas to fight.  Mothafar also maintained contact with ISIS officials overseas and provided technical support to these individuals that included opening social media and email accounts for official use.  During the time of this alleged activity, Mothafar also made false statements on immigration documents and to government officials denying any ties to terrorist organizations….

    Is the judge who released him a democrap?
    We have to wonder what the hell is going through the brains of these judges. When the thugs that they release commit more crimes, the judge or parole board who release them should be held accountable.

      There is nothing to wonder about. This is the work of leftist liberal judges. Things will get worse if and when Harris is at the helm. Best to prepare now. Or before now.

    I actually agree with the decision to release this man from prison, since he did not commit a violent crime (personally) that we know of. I just think we should have “released”/deported him back to whatever Islamic shithole he came from since he clearly yearns to live under sharia law and engage in jihad.

      Melanie,

      Please reread the feature article.

      Providing material support to a designated terrorist organization – an organization that commits horrific terrorist violence – is a crime because it aids and abets this terrorist violence.

      It’s like a “guy” knowingly supplying the gun and ammo to a hitman – and driving the getaway car. The “guy” didn’t pull the trigger, but he is just as guilty as if he did.

    It’s only going to get worse. There will be more Muslims, not vetted, allowed in this country by the thousands as Biden already told the Muslims he’ll remove all of Trump’s mandates by executive orders. We also heard that the voting machines in all swing States were rigged to dump all of Trump’s votes to Biden. This is why people were shocked on Tuesday the 3rd late, Trump was way ahead in Wisconsin, Michigan and in the morning Biden was ahead. I heard those machines are owned by the George Soros’ gang and were used in all the swing States. So expect more fanatic Muslims in this country and may I add, they’re rabid just like the Liberals,Leftists Democrats. Their agenda is the same, destroy America as we know it. Soros is a most evil man, no different than Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pots . He created Havoc in Europe. I don’t know what will happen but one thing for sure the Democrats stole the election by the most evil means, they perpetrated the worse satanic spell on the American People and were aided all along by the main stream media with their lying reportage.
