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

Boston: Muslim who plotted to behead Pamela Geller gets one of his convictions overturned, gets even longer sentence

Oct 3, 2020 9:00 am By Robert Spencer 22 Comments

Here is a rare and refreshing instance in which lawyerly attempts to aid a jihadi in escaping the consequences of his actions backfires, and results in justice being more, not less, properly served. It was bad enough that Wright’s fellow would-be jihad murderer, Nicholas Rovinski, was recently granted a “compassionate release.” As always, there is […]

Massachusetts judge frees Muslim who plotted to murder Pamela Geller

Aug 13, 2020 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

This was eminently predictable, and I predicted it. As I wrote here last month, “Rovinski is lucky that he didn’t target some revered figure on the left. If he had, antifa would be storming the prison today, and The New York Times and CNN would be running features about how, given the proper circumstances, lynching […]

Federal Judge May Release Muslim Who Pleaded Guilty in Plot to Behead Pamela Geller

Jul 23, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer

My latest in PJ Media: Rhode Island’s WPRI reported Wednesday that “a federal judge is seeking alternative proposals to imprisonment for a Warwick man convicted in a terror plot to behead a conservative blogger.” The question that follows is inevitable: if Nicholas Rovinski, 29, a convert to Islam who plotted to murder Pamela Geller for […]

Muslim in Connecticut prison who plotted to behead Pamela Geller asks for “compassionate release”

Jun 10, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Nicholas Rovinski and his accomplices wanted to murder Pamela Geller for the crime of exercising the freedom of speech. That freedom is under such concerted attack today that this appeal may well succeed. But what compassion were they going to show for their intended victim? Do her rights count in this at all, or are […]

Second Muslim in plot to behead Pamela Geller for Muhammad cartoons gets 15 years in prison

Dec 20, 2017 3:20 pm By Robert Spencer

Over cartoons. And while Wright and Rovinski are going to prison, the Western establishment media is in full surrender mode, not daring to stand for the freedom of speech and defend those who exercise it even in violation of Sharia blasphemy laws. “Judge sentences 2nd man in beheading plot to 15 years,” Associated Press, December […]

Muslims who plotted to behead Pamela Geller “hoped to achieve martyrdom”

Sep 22, 2017 9:51 am By Robert Spencer

They wanted to kill Pamela Geller for blaspheming Muhammad, and they were confident that Allah would grant them the rewards of Paradise. For these were devout, observant Muslims: Ismail Abdurrashid, an assistant imam at The Mosque for Praising Allah in Roxbury, Massachusetts, said that Usaamah Rahim was “a very pleasant young man. He had a […]

Muslim who plotted to behead Pamela Geller returns to Catholicism, plans to plead guilty

Sep 21, 2016 12:51 pm By Robert Spencer

If Rovinski is sincere in having left Islam, he is displaying a great deal of courage, as he will be in real danger from the Muslims in prison eager to enforce Islam’s death penalty for apostasy. If (and only if) he is sincere, this is a refreshing indication that some converts to Islam can step […]

Muslim who plotted to behead Pamela Geller tried to organize other beheadings while in jail on terror charges

Apr 22, 2016 1:45 pm By Robert Spencer

“The court heard the pair allegedly plotted with Wright’s uncle Usaamah Rahim to behead blogger Pamela Geller, who is known for provoking Muslims.” The Daily Mail is generally grotesque in its combination of coverage of the jihad threat with outright denial of its ideological roots, along with a vicious bias against the foes of jihad […]

Boston jihadis who wanted to murder Pamela Geller plead not guilty

Jun 19, 2015 8:29 pm By Robert Spencer

Pamela Geller asks the key question: “Are we to refrain from doing anything that Muslims don’t like or might anger them?” All too many people in the West would answer yes to that question. “Men accused in terror plot to kill blogger plead not guilty,” WCVB, June 19, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller): BOSTON —Two […]

Jihadi who wanted to kill Pamela Geller said he’d kill his family if they refused to live by Sharia

Jun 13, 2015 6:09 pm By Robert Spencer

“When asked about bail, Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephanie Siegmann told the judge that Rovinski posed a ‘significant threat to public safety.’ He was ordered held for a week and limped away in shackles.” A week? A week? Will anyone be watching this jihadi savage next week? “He also indicated he is prepared to fight anyone […]

Muslims who plotted to behead Pamela Geller readily admitted support for Islamic State

Jun 12, 2015 4:09 pm By Robert Spencer

“The same day, Rovinski, of Warwick, Rhode Island, was interviewed by agents. He said he converted to Islam two years ago, and he changed his name to ‘Nuh Amriki.’ The Islamic State group appealed to him ‘because they represent the most pure and honest form of the religion,’ according to investigators.” Not that this has […]

Another Muslim arrested in Boston jihad plot targeting cops and Pamela Geller

Jun 12, 2015 3:27 am By Robert Spencer

This makes three jihadis dead and two in custody for trying to murder Pamela Geller. Does anyone really think that these men would have lived peaceful and productive lives were it not for our Muhammad cartoon exhibit? Does anyone really think they were so “provoked” by that event that it led them to discard their […]

FBI, cops watching Rhode Island Muslim linked to Geller beheading plot

Jun 7, 2015 4:06 am By Robert Spencer

What is the real matter of concern is what this apparent convert to Islam will do once the police cars leave his street. Jihad Watch reader Paul informs me that Rovinski was arrested three years ago and charged with throwing a rock through the glass door of a liquor store. Paul asks: “Do you suppose […]
