The fact that Ishtiaq Ali Saaem bought so much ricin and “researched homemade tasteless poisons” doesn’t suggest any genuinely innocent intent. There is, however, no indication in any news report of what exactly he was planning, or whether or not he had any jihadist sentiments. Given the establishment media’s general determination to whitewash and obscure the motivations of jihad terrorists whenever possible, we may never know whether or not Ishtiaq Ali Saeem was one.
“Biotech researcher bought 800 castor beans to extract ricin, feds say,” by Kenneth Garger, New York Post, March 17, 2021 (thanks to Kevin):
A research director at a Massachusetts biotechnology firm has been arrested by federal authorities for allegedly trying to acquire the highly toxic poison ricin, officials said Tuesday.
Dr. Ishtiaq Ali Saaem, 37, who has a doctorate in biomedical engineering, allegedly wanted to extract the toxin from 100 packets of castor beans that he ordered, according to the US Attorney’s Office for Massachusetts….
Saaem, who is from Pennsylvania, is accused of lying to investigators who questioned his purchase, telling them that he only meant to buy one packet of castor beans to plant and decorate his home with, prosecutors said.
After the first inquiry, prosecutors said Saaem researched homemade tasteless poisons.
In a second meeting with authorities, he again claimed the castor beans were simply meant for planting at home….

Kinda like buying an AK-47 to hunt rabbits.

Can’t see any problems with that! I’ve shot the little bastards with a .30 cal. If it’s feral it’s in peril!

There are several bridges he can buy.

Massachusetts: Muslim biotech researcher bought 800 castor beans to extract ricin
………………….
Well, this is very disturbing. What do we know about Dr. Ishtiaq Ali Saaem?
He initially claimed that he wanted the beans “for decorative purposes”…
revereridesagain says
Would’ve been nice if they’d specified the biotech firm so I’d know if this Wannabe Winner of 72 Renewable Virgins for Allah worked in my part of the state. And for what other reason would anyone buy 800 castor beans?
A few years back the authorities caught several of these peace-loving Muslim professionals sneaking around our largest reservoir in the middle of the night doing “research”. At least we attract a more professional grade of Sharia-addled slaves of Allah.
James Lincoln says
Pretty scary because Dr. Ishtiaq Ali Saaem had the technical ability to be able to extract the ricin toxin…

Yes–this is not the usual Jihadist in his mom’s basement…
Singh T. Junior says
Educated jihadis are more dangerous since they can poison water ways, food supplies, medicines, and other means and kill millions. The uneducated ones usually scream “allah-hu-abkar” and stab around half a dozen before they are put to death by the police.
Walter Sieruk says
Biotech and chemical scientists are willing to inform the public that ricin is ten times more deadly than cyanide.
The vicious and murderous evil intentions of the even the educated scheming jihadist /Muslims know no limits.
The Bible reads “The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord” Proverbs 15:26.

Keith O says
The big question is, HOW MANY PEOPLE COULD HE HAVE KILLED?
Just how much ricin could this peaceful mudslime have extracted from 800 beans? Given that it takes as little as 180 micro grams to kill a person. So, what was his plan?
Eleanor says
Scary thing is he doesn’t look like your bog-standard jihadi terrorist.
James Lincoln says
Yes, Eleanor.
But he’s a 100% devout muslim…
Billy Chickens says
That’s a very anti-Catholic answer…..”bog-standard”…and on St Patrick’s Day too.

Now does this lovely wee fella have a blonde haired,blue eyed lady, or male, friend that he sleeps with every night… Inquiring minds want to know.
His mummy must be so proud of him..
born saturday says
also beware of islamic biological terrorism which is tradeitional and a common secret for islam… the muslims deliberately spread the corona virus as well as other microbes as part of their jihad traditionally… yet few people like Robert Spencer are willing to talk about this… in europe many diseases that had been wiped out previously have been reintroduced together with the muslim migrants…..
wpm says
Their is little to no evidence of Moslems spreading on purpose or making the corona virus(it started in China with most evidence it accidently escape from a Bio lab).If you have evidence it was created as a bio weapon by Jihadist please post that evidence.
R Thomasson says
@Born saturday. There is a lot to say about Islamic Jihadi’s, but there is no evidence the corona virus was spread by Muslims. The virus came from Wuhan in China and was spread world wide. We don’t even know who stands behind the development of this biological warfare. It can be that the virus is a co-production.

Muslims *have* deliberately spread the coronavirus:

And Muslims have also spead the virus in general:

They regularly gather in Mosques and in the streets.
Muslims also refuse vaccines for polio, and have spread that disease in places where is has almost been eradicated. The also murder health care workers.
And there is no evidence that Covid-19 was created by man–in fact, coronaviruses have been around for thousands of years.

I’m quite sure he wanted to plant them…..SHURRE!
