Where did Elvis learn about Islam? What does his mosque teach? Does anyone know? Does anyone care?
“Long Island Man Sentenced to 200 Months’ Imprisonment for Attempting to Provide Material Support to Terrorists,” Department of Justice, November 19, 2021:
CENTRAL ISLIP, NY — Earlier today, at the federal courthouse in Central Islip, Elvis Redzepagic was sentenced by United States District Judge Denis R. Hurley to 200 months’ imprisonment for attempting to provide material support and resources to the designated foreign terrorist organizations the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) and the al-Nusrah Front. Redzepagic, a U.S. citizen, pleaded guilty to the charge in April 2021.
Breon Peace, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Matthew G. Olsen, Assistant Attorney General of the Justice Department’s National Security Division, and Michael J. Driscoll, Assistant Director-in-Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, New York Field Office (FBI), announced the sentence.
“With the imposition of today’s lengthy sentence, Redzepagic pays a steep price for his misguided embrace of terrorism and his attempts to join ISIS and the al-Nusrah Front in order to wage violent jihad,” stated United States Attorney Peace….
In early 2015, Redzepagic began communicating with an individual he believed to be both the commander of a battalion in Syria and a member of ISIS or the al-Nusrah Front, and made attempts to join that individual’s battalion to engage in violent jihad. In July 2015, Redzepagic traveled to Turkey and made multiple unsuccessful attempts to cross the border into Syria. Unable to enter Syria from Turkey, Redzepagic traveled to Jordan in August 2016, but was stopped and deported by Jordanian authorities.
In Facebook messages from October 2015, Redzepagic explained that “jihad” is when “you fight for the sake of God” and “die for the sake of Allah.” Redzepagic stated that he traveled to Turkey to “perform Jihad and join Jabhat Al-Nusra.” He predicted, “there will come a time where people will only know to say Allahu Akbar.”
A search of the defendant’s laptop yielded a variety of ISIS-specific extremist propaganda, including ISIS nasheeds, or Islamist hymns, including the “ISIS Anthem” in English. Redzepagic also repeatedly accessed the website “Put hilafeta,” or “Way to the Caliphate,” a Bosnian-language website for prospective foreign fighters from the Balkans who primarily sought to join ISIS and wage jihad in Syria….

For those who continuously parrot the “deport ’em all” idiocy:
NOPE.
For those who’ve violated OUR man-made laws, whether eligible for deportation or not (which Elvis isn’t), when you do the crime here ‘ya gotta do the time here first.
PMK says
Come on! You have to be practical about this. Deport them. No reentry permitted, under any circumstances. If he’s a US citizen, you strip him of citizenship and sentence him to exile. Why should American taxpayers have to foot the bill for him for ten years or more (depending on his eligibility for parole)? If no country will take him, then you keep him in jail forever, or until he finds refuge in another country. It’s one reason why I would never arrest anyone leaving the country to join ISIS or other terrorist groups. Take away their passport and strip them of citizenship and send them on their way. Make it a one-way trip.
Let the message be: if you want to convert the world to Islam, the US is not the place for you.

Get a grip on reality.

“Elvis” ??? Presumably, that would be “Allahu From Hawaii” ?
Valhella says
Good one, Phil! The whole civilised world should laugh and laugh at these deluded idiots until they self implode.
Michael Copeland says
YUSUF
When I convert, I’ll choose the name Yusuf,
The one I’ve always liked so well.
I’d also really like to have it linked with Idi,
An admirable leader, true to tell.
Then remember Otman, such a wise old scholar.
Famous name! I’ll add it if I can.
So put them all together,
Say it loud in every weather,
I’m your Yusuf ul-Idi Otman,
Yes, your Yusuf ul-Idi Otman.

“…there will come a time…”
If that time ever comes (it won’t), then mankind would descend into the darkest of dark ages in its entire history.
Thanks Islam for this warm and fuzzy message from yet another deluded believer. And thus I say to ALL willing adult Muslims, deep shame on you, on all of you,, every last one of you, even the so-called moderate Muslims who continue to give cover to the longest-lived and best disguised malevolent ideology in all of man’s history.
I despise Islam. No one who retains their common sense and moral compass after “examining” Islam should, could, do otherwise. No exceptions. None.
john smith says
100% true Wellington, and to any muslim that might read this post, take heed of what Wellington has to say. “Deep shame on you, all of you, every last one of you.”
Valhella says
Amen to that Wellington!
Valhella says
Good one Phil! The whole civilised world should laugh and laugh at these deluded idiots until they self implode.

New York: Muslim aids Islamic State, says
“there will come a time where people will only know to say Allahu Akbar”
Won’t that make ordering in a restaurant a bit tricking ?
Eleanor says
Definitely won’t get you a seat on an airplane! or a taxi for that matter.
PRCS says
Tricky? Yup.
With the same reaction as yelling “Fire” in a crowded theater, I imagine.

Looks like it’s going to be a while before Elvis leaves the building. Maybe for his Jihad he can die a little bit each day, minute by minute and second by second. Put a clock in his cell that makes a loud ticking sound and chimes every 15 minutes so he can keep track of the time … tick tock, tick tock, bong. He’ll be speaking nothing but Allahu Akbar when his time is up.
OLD GUY says
Unfortunately 200 months in prison won’t rehabilitate him, it will most likely increase his hate of infidels. He will probably attempt to recruit fellow criminal prisoners to Islam. Hell the far left politicians will have him out and on the air in two months, when they empty the Federal prisons. Hell I like the OLD WESTERN legal system, HANG EM HIGH.
