“Nasr was prepared to kill and be killed to support the jihadist cause…”
Where did he get that idea?
“Indeed, Allah has bought from the believers their lives and their wealth, because the garden will be theirs, they will fight in the way of Allah and will kill and be killed.” (Qur’an 9:111)
“NJ man Karem Nasr inspired by Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack busted allegedly trying to join Islamist terror group in Kenya: ‘Prepared to kill,’” by Caitlin Doornbos, New York Post, December 29, 2023:
A New Jersey man who prosecutors say was “devoted … to waging violent jihad against America” and galvanized by Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack against Israel, was busted in Kenya earlier this month while en route to join Somalia-based Islamist terror group al-Shabaab, authorities said Friday.
Karrem Nasr, 23, of Lawrenceville, faces up to 20 years in prison after Manhattan federal prosecutors charged him with a single count of attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization.
“Nasr, a citizen of this country, traveled from Egypt to Kenya bent on joining and training with al Shabab [sic] so that he could execute his jihadist mission of death and destruction,” US Attorney for the Southern District of New York Damian Williams said Friday.
“Nasr was prepared to kill and be killed to support the jihadist cause, and in his own words, he described America as ‘evil’ and the ‘head of the snake,’” he added.
Nasr had moved to Egypt in July to study Arabic and became “particularly motivated to become a jihadi” after Hamas killed more than 1,200 people — including at least 33 Americans — in its October assault on southern Israel, FBI special agent Bilal Morgan wrote in court documents.
“In recent public social media posts, Nasr warned that ‘Jihad’ was ‘coming soon to a US location near you,’ posting airplane, bomb, and fire emojis,” Morgan wrote. “Nasr expressed his intent to join al Shabaab [sic] to receive military training and engage in jihad; that he was prepared to kill and be killed; and that he specifically aspired to be a martyr for the jihadi cause.”
Nasr planned to meet members of al-Shabaab, which has links to Al Qaeda, during his Kenya trip after engaging with an FBI source posing as a facilitator for terrorist organizations last month.
“After the Oct. 7 events, I felt that something has changed [for] the better, I mean,” Nasr reportedly told the source. “I felt that pride and dignity came back to the Muslims.”
Nasr further referenced the recent online spread of Osama bin Laden’s 2002 “Letter to America,” which garnered attention among TikTok users who claimed they had never heard of Al Qaeda’s complaints about the conflict between Israel and Palestinians.
“I do not know if you follow the news in the West, but there are a lot of people now in America, not Muslims, just reading the letter from Sheikh [Osama] bin Laden …” Nasr told the source, according to court documents. “And there are a lot of people, because of this letter, [who] have completely changed their opinion on him, and they finally understand how evil America is.”
Nasr reportedly offered to “write for any group that he joined” because he “could write well and knew how to translate,” adding that he also “wanted to train to ‘shoot’ with any [terror] group he joined,” Morgan wrote.
The defendant originally planned to meet the jihadists in Kenya in January, but Nasr told the source he accelerated his plans after learning his mother was visiting from the US in mid-December and wanted to take him “back to America to continue my education and work.”
“Parents nowadays have no interest in religion and they do not want their children to be mujahideen,” he told the source, noting that his mother did not know of his intentions to join al-Shabaab….

Should have let him get to Somalia, then leave him to rot.
Just think of how much money it would have saved the tax payers.
With a bit of luck one of his mudslime “brothers” would have killed him or one of the armed ships they are attacking would have taken him out.
This would have been a win, win situation.

“I felt that pride and dignity came back to the Muslims.” So torturing slaughtering women and children includng the unborn brought him pride and dignity? What a miserable specimen of humanity he is and how grateful he is to the country that nurtured him.
Walter Sieruk says
So that Muslim man,Karem Nasr, who lives in the State of New Jersey is inspired by Hamas jihad massacres of the Israeli people ,of October 7th ,to inflect a similar type of jihad massacre on the American people.
Actually, it figures that a dangerous and evil Muslim male would find inspiration in a very wicked abomination of an evil and jihad entity which has its jihadists murder many innocent peaceful unarmed people.
With that malice-filled Nasr and that horrendously malicious and murderously evil Hamas, it all goes down to the unconscionable violence and killing for the cause of Islam by Muslim terrorists because Islam’s ‘holy book” commands them to , as seen in Surah 2:191, 4:89. (:5, 123. 47;4.
As Muslims devoted to their Islamic good ,Allah, and his word ,the Quran. many deadly atrocities do occur because of the religion of Islam.
Nevertheless, in spite of all the facts of reality some people still keep mindelessy and ignorantly repeating the same old false claim which is that “Islam is a non-violent religion.
That bogus claim is outright balderdash.

According to the feature article:
“Karrem Nasr, 23, of Lawrenceville, faces up to 20 years in prison”
So, what happens at the end of 20 years?

He becomes a professor in an ivy league college by using copying word for word some else work and changing his gender on “paper ” so he can spy on women in the locker room at the local gym. Diversity the gift that keeps on giving like AIDS and STDs lets import another million like him what can go wrong!? .
deze MN bee says
He gets pardoned by President Ihan Omar and invited to join the Harvard School of Islamic Shia Jurisprudence.
PRCS says
As a citizen, he will have completed his punishment, and will be relased to return to an active jihad against we filthy unbelievers.
WPM says
Of course Mo the author of the Koran, founder of Islam was a cross dressing pedophile and a terrorist so he would fit right in teaching at any Ivy league college as a full professor in America today.

Pride and dignity? From rape, torture and murder? Islam is a mental illness.

So why did they stop him? They should have enabled him to join his jihad group in Kenya, but then tipped off the Nairobi regime about him, so that they could put him out of their misery

If only ME parents had, “no interest”! Religion as enslaved them and stolen their children for cannon fodder.

I think Islam and the Jihadists are an inspiration to all criminally minded Americans. They enjoy the rewards of their crimes and they received little or no justice because they acted in accordance to their religion.

Examine Western rules regarding criminality and you will find that islam is completely counter to established Western rules. Muslims use religion as a cover for their cult of criminality and that has fooled many in Western leadership. Yes, it is a cult of criminality and establishment types that go along with it are just as guilty, more guilty.
Mike says
R.I.C.O. laws need to be applied to Islamist groups and individuals who commit felonies, as has been done with the Mafia.

He must be mentally ill. And the US should not be worried with the jihadists because the most dangerous terrorists come from the far right, not from the muslims.
I just hope I won’t be live when the US and the western civilization has collapsed.

So for 1400 yrs MO’s Koranic commands have been drilled into Muslim heads to annihilate the KAFIR (Jews, Christians, Atheists, ALL other religions but Islam) because of the KAFIR’s DISBELIEF in a pagan Arabic “moon-god” and 7th century warlord, caravan raider, white slave-trader/owner,
murderer, thief, liar, plagiarist, adulterer, pedo. All for the “cause of Allah” via the sword to offensively conquer lands/people (KAFIR) for Islamic domination (Koran 8:39) world wide.
But it’s all the false narrative “far-right’s” fault? LOL!
That’s the best apologists for Islam like you can do.
The Koran, Hadiths, Sira, Sharia is all the world needs to prove that Islamic Doctrine is a cancer on humanity. 1400 years proof of carnage, Dhimmitude, oppression, of KAFIR, Jews,
Christians, Atheists, ALL other religions but Islam, and it continues TODAY!!
WPM says

The USA is only worried about about “far right” who express opinions contra to woke idiots , violent jihadist the world over get the mental ill card and “lone wolf” card pulled when they have the backing of their imams who preach violent jihad in Friday sermons .If western civilization collapsed you Islamic parasites would go full jihad on each other and all be living in caves eating bugs and rats by the fireside in a decade .If
