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
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
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”
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
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”
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
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
“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
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
“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 […]
