My latest in PJ Media:
Old Joe Biden’s handlers are in the process of bringing 94,000 Afghan refugees into the UnitedStates, and really, only a racist, bigoted “Islamophobe” could possibly object to such a grand humanitarian gesture, right? Yet a migrant couple in Pennsylvania illustrated Thursday that there is ample reason to temper our enthusiasm over Old Joe’s welcome mat: Shahidul Gaffar, a naturalized citizen, and his wife, Nabila Khan, a legal permanent resident, both from Bangladesh, were sentenced to federal prison for sending nearly $5,600 to Khan’s brothers, who happen to be Islamic State (ISIS) jihadis.
As Gaffar was sentenced, he declared: “God bless America, God bless the United States.” Khan insisted that the couple only sent money out of love for her brothers, not because they supported ISIS. Weeping, she said: “I’m really sorry about everything I did.…It has cost my family a lot.” U.S. District Judge Joshua D. Wolson nevertheless sentenced Gaffar to eighteen months in prison, and Khan to two years, after which she is to be deported back to Bangladesh.
The Philadelphia Inquirer observed that “the nearly four-hour court proceeding in Philadelphia — which played out days before the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks — brought into focus the persistent allure of extremist ideologies in the decades since but also the difficult choices and disastrous consequences facing some families of those caught in that web.”
So is this just a tragic story of misguided family loyalty? Not exactly. The Inquirer goes on to note that one brother started talking about joining ISIS, prompting Khan, for reasons left unexplained in the story, to take their children and visit family in Bangladesh. Meanwhile, the other brother was living with Gaffar and started expressing a desire to join ISIS as well. Gaffar “told the court Thursday that he and his wife foolishly indulged Ibrahim, hoping they could talk him out of going and fearing if they pushed back too hard it might push him away. The money Gaffar sent to Bangladesh was mostly intended to support his wife while she was overseas, he said. Ibrahim had pressured her to give it to him instead.”
Gaffar explained: “The thought process was: Since we’ve already lost one brother, let’s not lose another. We tried to solve our own problem. This is why I didn’t go to the police here. This is why I didn’t alert police there. We thought we could handle it ourselves.”
Well, all right. Unfortunately for his story now, however, at the time “Gaffar texted his mother-in-law, telling her to be proud of her son ‘for the noble cause and for the sake of Allah!!’” Gaffar even “expressed disappointment that he had remained behind in the U.S., which he described in a text as ‘the land of great unbelievers.’” When the second brother joined ISIS, Gaffar was thrilled: “At the same time, I feel very proud. What a lucky mom and dad.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Taquyiah to your face, Jihad to your neck and back/Die Infidel

That’s pretty much it, but only 15% of Muslims are jihad supporters and less than 1% are jihad wannabes or jihadists. It takes only someone to call Muslims to participate in jihad to motivate them to ‘do their duty to Islam’.
By giving money to jihadists, a Muslims is considered to have participated in the divine merits offered to the jihadists themselves.
Mike says
Islam is like a train : a few engines ( jihadists) and a lot oof wagons drag by them ( the rest of muslims ). Meanwhile , the train goes on in the night . Have fun !

“…only 15% of Muslims are jihad supporters…”
Whew, what a relief!
And I was actually starting to get worried…
David says
How many muslims in the World? 1.8 billion? 1%= 180,000,000. That’s a lot of Jihadis
Bruce Watt says
The rule is: even if you can’t perform the jihad, all good Muslims must support it.
BTeboe says
You send money to terrorists, you are automatically deported to the country you were sending the money. Hasta Lavista baby.
mortimer says
But by sending money to terrorists, you are automatically on Allah’s ‘A’ list.
Fitna says
LOL, good article, great to see the two-faced lying Muslims get exposed. They always play the victim until they slip up and the evidence shows they knew what they were doing, they were funding terrorists and bad-mouthing the country that gave them a better place to live.
Suppose for a moment that Islam was as wonderful as they claim. That it was a magic tool that brought freedom, peace, harmony and prosperity for all. If it truly was the best system for mankind, even I’d be supporting it. But the trouble is that Muslims never stop to think if the ideology they support makes lives better or worse.
Objectively and empirically Islam is hell on Earth for most people, except the terrorists at the top who are running things and benefiting the most-while the population lives in misery and squalor. By every metric Islamic nations are the most barbarous on the planet and have the least level of freedom for women and cause untold suffering for millions of people esp. children.
The trouble is the vast majority of Muslims are deluded and brainwashed. They are totally incapable of seeing that Islam is detrimental to their society. This is why Muslim nations remain backwards and trapped in the Dark Ages.
This evil death cult just needs to die off, the sooner the better. Muslims caught hating the West and supporting terrorists obviously should all be deported-skip the jail sentences (unless they harmed someone), no appeals, just throw them out.
If they love Islam so much, let them remain in Islamic states and we’ll focus on advancing humanity, eventually our medicine will cure all diseases and we’ll build spaceships and colonize other planets. Muslims meanwhile will be flogging each other for showing their ankles in public.
David says
Very well said, Fitna. Not seen your name on here before.
Muslims will continue to live in the past. There is no hope for them, thank God.
This is why Islam is called the ‘religion of peace’: Peace is when all resistance to Islam is ended. However, notice the subtle difference: it is NOT a peaceful religion.
Fitna says
Thanks David, ya you might’ve missed my other messages-though I don’t post too often but I’ve been a follower of JW for ages.
I agree-there is no fix for Muslims. Once somebody is brainwashed, it’s very difficult to de-brainwash them, take the Nazis for example.
So the only options remains is they need to be removed/isolated or eliminated in the context of war. Deportation the best and simplest solution, hopefully western nations will wake up and come to the same realization we have.
Indeed, for us peace doesn’t have a double-meaning, for Muslims it’s when they’ve killed/conquered non-Muslims and established an Islamic state.
We need to treat Islam as a political movement exactly like Nazism or Communism, and not just a religion so we can defeat this dangerous ideology.

“Oh, what a tangled web,” It always catches those who lie, lie, lie, and lie. mozlums “practice” deceiving, and when caught doing the unlawful, evil deed, and don’t want to suffer punishment, it’s always point the psychopathic fingers at others and whine and cry. And lie, lie, and lie some more.
Bragging about and praising acts of evil…straight from satan.

somehistory says
Thank you.
James Lincoln says
somehistory,
100% spot on.
The “problem” is, Westerners with Judeo-Christian values have been taught not to lie.
And this decreases their ability to discern when others are lying to advance their particular interest, in this case islam.
somehistory says
Thank you, James Lincoln.
I agree that Christians see others as they are. Just a s a liar thinks everyone else lies, someone who tells the truth…even sometimes when maybe he/she shouldn’t, expects everyone else to tell the truth.
I have read a lot of writers say, “Everyone lies.” It always steams because I know it is not true. There are many who make a conscience effort to always tell the truth.
somehistory says
An example of maybe when one shouldn’t, “No, I’m here alone. My husband won’t be back until tomorrow.”
tgusa says
They are members in good standing of the bin laden refugee resettlement program. At this point it is pretty clear that the establishment is dissatisfied with America and Americans.
notnolib says
Has there been any word on this from the terrorist organization CAIR or any of its terrorist or terror supporters amongst its members, officers, and supporters?
Giacomo Latta says
Well scripted. Kudos to their lawyers.
OLD GUY says
Makes one wonder how many of these 94,000 Afghan islamic refugees are terrorist or will support islamic terrorism if asked too. I don’t have much faith in the vetting process of the State Department.
