New in PJ Media:
An odd story appeared in the Boston Globe on Thursday: it seems that “Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is asking the First Circuit Court of Appeals to stay his execution and consider four constitutional claims in his case that were not presented to the US Supreme Court, which last month reinstated the death penalty for Tsarnaev, ruling that he had received a fair trial for his role in the 2013 terrorist attacks that killed three and injured more than 260.” But doesn’t Tsarnaev believe anymore that “death for the sake of Allah is the highest calling”? Doesn’t he want to enjoy the virgins of paradise? Could it even be that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, after committing murder for Allah, has left Islam?
The appeal of the death penalty seems out of character for Tsarnaev, who remained defiantly unrepentant for a considerable period after the attack. As prosecutors argued in April 2015 that he deserved the death penalty, they released a video of Tsarnaev three months after his attack, looking into the security camera in his cell, primping his hair in the reflection, and then flashing the V sign and then giving his middle finger to his jailers.
And why not? He believed he had done a righteous deed. The motivations of Dzhokhar and his brother and fellow jihad murderer Tamerlan Tsarnaev became clear very quickly after Dzhokhar was apprehended. CNN reported a week after the bombings that “Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, wounded and held in a Boston hospital, has said his brother—who was killed early Friday—wanted to defend Islam from attack.”
And just before he was captured, when he was hiding out inside a pleasure boat, Dzhokhar wrote a long self-justification on the inside of the boat, including the line: “When you attack one Muslim, you attack all Muslims.”
It came to light soon after the bombings that, on a Russian-language social media page, Dzhokhar had featured a drawing of a bomb under the heading “send a gift,” and just above that, links to sites about Islam. His brother and accomplice Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s YouTube page contained two videos by Sheikh Feiz Mohammed. According to a report published in The Australian in January 2007, in a video that came to the attention of authorities at the time, Feiz Mohammed “urges Muslims to kill the enemies of Islam and praises martyrs with a violent interpretation of jihad.”
Tamerlan also described himself as “very religious.” His friend Donald Larking affirmed this. “Tamerlan Tsarnaev was my friend and we talked about everything from politics to religion,” according to Larking. “He was very, very religious. He believed that the Qur’an was the one true word and he loved it.” Tamerlan did not drink alcohol because Allah forbade it — “God said no alcohol” — and his Italian girlfriend had converted to Islam, as his American wife did later. Tamerlan was a massive influence on his younger brother, who emulated him in every possible way.
There is more. Read the rest here.

As already explained before that that there might possibly be ,maybe, that he have time to think ,while in prison just it could be that the promise of a paradise with many virgins in it the the dead jihadist might be a man made fiction of pure balderdash.
Nevertheless .if this did happen it’s too late for him , in the sense the he still should be executed for the murders his committed with those bombs .
Tsarnaev should have had such a “reality check” before he planted those those two deadly bombs on that Boston street.

Wait – Doesn’t the Boston Marathon Bomber Want His Heavenly Virgins?
………….
This is actually *very* common among murderers–including Jihad terrorists. Odd, that…
Fitna says
He probably firmly believes he’ll get rewarded after he dies, so he’s dragging out this process because it’s another form of jihad, making the infidels drain their resources on him, he’s continuing his war against us.
John Bolton made a great point ages ago, that we need to recognize this is not a law enforcement issue, but an act of war and Muslims (involved in terrorism) should be treated as enemy combatants. Nobody listened to him and this is why we had 40,000 terrorist attacks since 9/11.
If we keep treating it as a criminal matter, then this battle will drag on for decades or longer. Terrorists should be given a speedy trials and executed asap…or right away if possible. There are millions of Muslims who think exactly the same way, so we’re all in serious trouble as long as we ignore this issue.
Andrew Blackadder says
If this low life scumbag coward is indeed executed then may I suggest the following…
1) If he is injected then make his last meal a Pork Dish, however he thinks its Chicken but tell him just before the juice flows through his body, whisper in his ear, ”Yer last meal was a Pork dish”… Bye sucker…
2) if hung then let him know the rope was soaked overnight in pigs fat.
3) If shot let him know the bullet is soaked in Pigs fat.
Let the islamic world know all about this…
Right now that wee prick gets better Dental Care than I do, better Health Care than I do…. Why ?.
Throw the fucker off a tall building and let the islamic world know they found out he was queer in Prison…
Check Burry says

Andrew,
I like this stuff:
Right now that wee prick gets better Dental Care than I do, better Health Care than I do…. Why ?.
Check Burry says
Did he allow the dead victims any constitutional claims, No. POS all 3 of em
notnolib says
Have the terrorists at the terror org. CAIR (and their terrorist members, officers, and supporters) issued a ruling yet? Their fellow ackbarbarians should explain about the higher place that is received by those who die in battle, or killed by the infidel.
It’s only later that they learn that the 72 virgins just came from a Star Wars convention.
James Lincoln says
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev received his death sentence on June 24, 2015.
He *was* (and is again) on death row in ADX Florence, Colorado, and execution *should have* taken place quickly.
Recommend a maximum five-year limit regarding appeals for prisoners on death row.
If that were true, Tsarnaev would have been executed by now…
OLD GUY says
Agree with the FIVE year appeal limit. Particularly where the evidence and the criminal is caught red handed. But the lawyers like the money that the tax payers are billed for on both sided of these cases.
I don’t think he is carrying out his jihad, I think he is a COWARD, and I hope when he gets to his paradise Allah provides him with the ugliest of virgins.
tim gallagher says
I agree with you, James. This piece of crap should have been executed already. It makes no sense that someone like him should be able to keep his appeals going for so long.
Arthur J Thornton says
What’s taking so long for this monster to be executed???
OLD GUY says
LAWYERS!
Linde Barrera says
I am not a psychiatrist or psychologist. But I believe The Joker (Dzhokhar Tsarnaev) has
“Narcissistic Personality Disorder”. Why?
Because it is always all about him. He has no ability to empathize with others, and he
always feels he is entitled. The death penalty is a fair and just solution for him. 😎😈
