“Hossain, a naturalized U.S. citizen and Bangladesh native, took pains to not appear to be a religious extremist to authorities, according to prosecutors. He trimmed his beard and hair, switching from traditional garb to American clothing.”

“N.Y. Uber driver who wanted to join Taliban convicted on terrorism-related charges,” by Shayna Jacobs, Washington Post, October 8, 2021 (thanks to Darcy):
NEW YORK — An Uber driver who saved his earnings to travel to Afghanistan, where he hoped to join the Taliban and kill Americans, was convicted Friday after less than two days of deliberations on two charges related to his plan to support and serve the terrorist organization.
Delowar Mohammed Hossain, 36, was found guilty of attempting to provide material support for terrorism and attempting to make a contribution of resources to the Taliban. Combined, he faces up to 35 years in prison when he’s sentenced. A sentencing date was scheduled for early next year….
The Bronx resident who worked as a driver for the ride-sharing app was arrested at John F. Kennedy International Airport in July 2019 when he was expecting to fly to Thailand — a stop prosecutors argued was part of his protracted route to Taliban territory….

His true objective was intercepted by a pair of FBI informants whom he believed were his recruits to join him in “jihad,” or a holy war….The FBI learned about Hossain through one of the informants — a Bronx bodega owner who encountered him at a mosque….

Why not deport him – to Afghanistan, not Bangladesh, and let him join the Taliban? Since all our troops are outta there, and the ones we left behind are SOL? He can then choose whether to join the Taliban or IS-K, and continue his jihadi activists there? Oh, and have Shamima Begum sent there to marry him, so that she can continue her sex jihad
bruce D Watt says
I agree send him or he is just going to be assimilated into the prison jihad network that will create new inmate converts and jihadis that will be released into the country to continue the jihad on stupid americans.

Not a big Jihad in US prisons yet–but that could change, I know how bad things are in Britain and France.
bruce D Watt says
usually several hundred participants during Ramadan in every prison I know, all of which do the networking on Islamic phyiosiphy with sunni, shiite, nation of islam, Arut 7, moorish science temple etc.
john smith says
Yes it’s a big problem in British prisons Gravenimage. 27% of all prisoners in London prisons are now muslim, and 14% are muslim the rest of Britain’s prisons.
Some prisons have even turned the toilets around so muslim don’t get to shit in the qibla direction.
Keith O says
Send him to the Ghan, after he has the word “Jew” tattooed on his forehead.
See how he likes his mudslime boyfriends then!
Infidel says
Rather, tatoo a ✡️ to his forehead, since mohammedans may not be able to read ‘Jew’
James Lincoln says
Along with a tattooed version of a yarmulke, Infidel.

New York: Muslim Uber driver convicted of attempting to join Taliban and kill Americans
……………..
How many more Uber drivers are just like this pious Muslim? Chilling.
Infidel says
Maybe call a Uber driver, and if a muslim name shows up, tell him that you wanna go to Kandahar. If he’s excited to meet a fellow Taliban fan, call the cops and report him ?
James Lincoln says
I guess I’m old-school, but I still go with Taxi Medallion.
The drivers are screened better than then the right sharing companies.
Infidel says
For those who appreciate the convenience of apps, one can use apps like Curb to get taxis the same way one can use Uber or Lyft. Of course, there is the price difference
gravenimage says
Infidel, a lot of cab drivers here are Muslim as well.
