Jesse Jackson wants amnesty for Muslim terrorists who have killed 10,000 in Nigeria

As we noted in our last post on the deadly jihad in Nigeria, Muslims kill 55 in latest Nigeria attack, the government there thinks amnesty is a solution for Muslims who have killed more than 10,000 since 2001. Their so-called president is even freeing captured Muslim terrorists so they can kill again.

via Offer of Amnesty for Boko Haram Gets Backing From Jesse Jackson

American civil rights leader and Baptist minister, Rev. Jesse Jackson, has thrown his weight behind the decision of President Goodluck Jonathan to offer amnesty to members of the Islamic sect, Boko Haram.

Jackson, a two-time United States of American presidential candidate, also said Nigeria “is divided, not so much by religion, region and tribe but by greed.”

Speaking in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State on Friday, Jackson, who was a guest speaker at a lecture organised by the state government as part of activities marking the 2013 edition of Isaac Boro memorial anniversary, said if properly handled, the amnesty programme would tackle insecurity in the country.

For the programme to work, he said all its terms and conditions must be honoured.

According to him, the amnesty must involve economic restitution and rebuilding of mosques and churches destroyed by the terrorists. He described such rehabilitation as a goodwill that would sustain coexistence in the country.

He said the state of emergency declared in three northern states should be as temporary as possible, advising Nigerians to abandon the battlefield and return to negotiation.

He said, “The amnesty must involve economic restitution, jobs and training. Within the United States,when there was civil unrest,there was a kind of state of emergency.

“But I hope the country will soon get back away from the battlefield and get to the negotiation table. In the end, it will be the bargaining table, not the battlefield, that wins victory.You cannot battle forever.

Nigerians know better.

Jackson and most so-called civil race baiters sat silently as black Africans were slaughtered and enslaved by the hundreds of thousands by Arab Muslims in Sudan.

Minnesota: Four More Muslims Jailed for Aiding Somali Jihad

via Four Jailed In US For Aiding Somalia’s Islamist Group.

A U.S. federal judge on Tuesday sentenced three men to three years in prison and handed down a 12-year prison term to a fourth for aiding in the recruitment of fighters for al-Shabaab, an outlawed Somali Islamist militant group.

Abdifatah Isse, Salah Ahmed and Ahmed Mahamud were each given three-year prison terms by Judge Michael Davis of the Minneapolis Federal Court after they pleaded guilty to providing material support to al-Shabab.

Isse and Ahmed had earlier admitted to traveling to Somalia in December 2007 for attending an al-Shabaab training camp. They spent a week at the camp, but left the East African state in the spring of 2008 after having second thoughts.

Mahamud, on the other hand, admitted that he had raised money for other recruits to travel to Somalia. Although he as well as Isse and Ahmed faced a maximum of 15 years in prison, prosecutors recommended lesser sentences for the trio due to their cooperation with investigators.

The fourth person sentenced on Tuesday in the same case was 28-year-old Omer Abdi Mohamed, who received a 12-year prison term. He had pleaded guilty in July 2011 to one count of conspiring to provide material support to co-conspirators who intended to murder, kidnap, or maim Ethiopian and Somali government troops.

“These defendants, by providing material support to a designated terrorist organization, broke both the law and the hearts of family members across the Twin Cities,” Todd Jones, the U.S. Attorney for Minnesota, said in a statement after the sentencing.

Al-Shabaab is Somalia’s most prominent and influential Islamist militant unit. The al-Qaeda aligned outfit has been branded as a terrorist organization by the United States and most of the international community. It is the military wing of the Islamist movement ousted by Ethiopia-backed Somali forces in 2006.

Obama ok’s U.S. military support for Somalia’s new Muslim Brotherhood-linked president

Sequester? via Barack Obama okays military support for Somalia. h/t sheikyermami

US military support for Somalia – US President Barack Obama, has said Somalia will receive military assistance from the US in order to bolster security and stability in the Horn of African nation.

A US State Department statement, made available to PANA in New York on Tuesday, said Obama made this known in a memo on Monday to the US Secretary of State, John Kerry.

It quoted Obama in the memo as stating: ‘I hereby find that the furnishing of defence articles and defence services to the Federal Republic of Somalia will strengthen the security of the United States and promote world peace’.

It also disclosed that the President directed Kerry to apprise the US Congress of the development.

PANA reports that the statement did not indicate the details or types of military materials and services to be provided to the Somali government.

The UN Security Council had on 6 March partially lifted the decades-old arms embargo on Somalia for one year to help the country in its fight against the armed al-Shabab group.

Fighting them in Africa, funding, arming and training them in Syria, Libya, Egypt, Gaza and elsewhere.

The council had said that it unanimously adopted a UK-drafted resolution that also renewed a 17,600-strong African Union peacekeeping force for a year and reconfigured the UN mission in the Horn of Africa country.

The 15-member council stated that the resolution would allow sales of weapons as automatic assault rifles and rocket-propelled grenades, but ban surface-to-air missiles, large-calibre guns, howitzers, cannons and mortars as well as anti-tank guided weapons, mines and night vision weapon sights.

It also requires that the Somali government or the country delivering assistance notify the UN Security Council ‘at least five days in advance of any deliveries of weapons and military equipment and providing details of such deliveries and assistance and the specific place of delivery in Somalia’.

The Somali government had asked for the arms embargo to be lifted and the US supported that, but other UN Security Council members were concerned about completely lifting the embargo due to security challenges.

The government believes lifting the embargo will help it strengthen its poorly-equipped military and enhance security measures in the country.

The embargo was imposed on Somalia in 1992 to cut the flow of weapons to feuding warlords, who a year earlier had ousted late Mohamed Siad Barre and plunged the country into civil war.

Somalia held its first elections last year to elect a president and prime minister since 1991.

An international meeting on Somalia is to convene in May in London.

As Daniel Greenfield writes, “Why settle for just arming the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and Syria?“

Obama decided this week that the Muslim Brotherhood-linked regime ruling parts of Somalia out of the capital city Mogadishu is eligible to receive U.S. military aid and weapons, sending a memo to Secretary of State John Kerry announcing the new finding and laying the ground work for even more foreign entanglements in Africa.

Giving weapons to the Muslim Brotherhood is bound to promote world peace. How could it not?

Rumor has it Obama is sending them the Blue Angels. 

He already used U.S. taxpayer funds to supply Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt with teargas.

NYC: Guilty Plea Unsealed in Terror Support Case

via FBI — Guilty Plea Unsealed in New York Involving Ahmed Warsame, a Senior Terrorist Leader and Liaison Between al Shabaab and al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, for Providing Material Support to Both Terrorist Organizations.

NEW YORK, NY—Preet Bharara, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, and John Carlin, Acting Assistant Attorney General for National Security, announced today the unsealing of the guilty plea of Ahmed Abdulkadir Warsame to a nine-count indictment charging him with providing material support to al Shabaab and al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP)—two designated foreign terrorist organizations—as well as conspiring to teach and demonstrate the making of explosives, possessing firearms and explosives in furtherance of crimes of violence, and other violations. Warsame pleaded guilty on December 21, 2011, before U.S. District Judge Colleen McMahon in Manhattan federal court as part of a cooperation agreement with the United States.

Warsame, a Somali national in his mid-20s, was captured in the Gulf of Aden between Somalia and Yemen by the U.S. military on April 19, 2011, and was questioned for intelligence purposes for more than two months. Thereafter, Warsame was read his Miranda rights, and, after waiving those rights, he spoke to law enforcement agents for several days. Warsame arrived in the Southern District of New York on July 5, 2011.

Eric Holder imported this foreign terrorist to a U.S. prison, interrogated him for more than two months then read him his Miranda rights? Miranadarights.org defines the right this way, “Miranda rights are utilized by law enforcement to make you aware of your rights as a US citizen.”

According to the indictment, Warsame’s sworn guilty plea allocution before Judge McMahon, and other public information:

From 2007 until April 2011, Warsame conspired with others, including American citizens, to provide material support to al Shabaab. He fought as a soldier on behalf of al Shabaab in Somalia in 2009 and provided other forms of support to the terrorist organization, including explosives, weapons, and training. In addition, Warsame possessed and used destructive devices, machine guns, and an AK-47 semi-automatic assault weapon in Somalia in support of al Shabaab.

What American citizens? Were they arrested? Droned? Are they still in the U.S.?

Warsame also brokered a weapons deal, arranging for al Shabaab to purchase weapons directly from AQAP. From 2009 until April 2011, he conspired with others, including American citizens, to provide material support to AQAP in the form of money, training, communications equipment, and personnel. While Warsame was in Yemen in 2010 and 2011, he received weapons, explosives and other military-type training from the terrorist organization. In addition, he possessed and used grenades and an AK-47 semi-automatic assault weapon in Yemen in support of AQAP.

From 2010 until April 2011, Warsame conspired to teach and demonstrate the making of explosives and instruct other terrorists and would-be terrorists how to do so. Specifically, Warsame received training in explosives directly from members of AQAP, intending to share that training with al Shabaab when he returned to Somalia.

Warsame was captured at sea by the U.S. in April 2011 on his way back to Somalia from Yemen.

Al Shabaab was designated by the U.S. Department of State as a foreign terrorist organization in February 2008. AQAP was so designated in January 2010.

Warsame pleaded guilty to all nine counts of the indictment with which he was charged, and he faces the possibility of life in prison. The charges and maximum penalties are reflected in the below chart.

Why was he imported to the United States? Had he been fighting Gaddafi, Mubarak or Assad, he’d not only be free he’d be receiving U.S. taxpayer money, CIA weapons and training.

Nigeria: Muslims destroy 50 of 52 Catholic churches; kill 25 in bus bombing

via Boko Haram allegedly destroyed 50 Catholic churches in Borno state – UPI.com.

MAIDUGURI, Nigeria, March 18 (UPI) — Boko Haram militants in Nigeria destroyed 50 of Borno state’s Catholic churches, a priest charged.

The Rev. Jerome Ituah of Christ the King Catholic Parish in Kurudu, a populated area of the Abuja Capital Territory, made the accusation Saturday, saying he witnessed the destruction, Leadership Newspapers reported.

“Out of the 52 Catholic churches in Maiduguri diocese, 50 of them have been destroyed by Boko Haram. Yet the faithful are not discouraged of their faith. You would always see them worshiping under rain and sun in open places at the site of their destroyed places of worship,” Ituah said.

Ituah, who was in Maiduguri to lead a retreat with priests and the bishop of the diocese there, called on Catholics in Kurudu to pray for their counterparts in Maiduguri and elsewhere in northern Nigeria.

h/t Jihad Watch who writes:

Shhh. Don’t say anything about this. If you do, it might harm the ongoing “Muslim/Christian dialogue.”

Elsewhere in Nigeria, Muslims kill at least 25 in Kano bus bombing:

Lagos, March 22 (World Watch Monitor) — A car bomb attack in a Christian enclave of Kano, the largest city in mainly-Muslim Northern Nigeria, has heightened religious and ethnic tensions throughout the country.

At least 25 people have been killed and at least 60 others injured, following the 18th March suicide bomb attack in a bus station in the Christian district of Sabon Gari. The bus station is primarily used by passengers heading for the mostly Christian South of the country. Five buses were destroyed, one reported to be full of people.

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and its main Muslim counterpart Jama’atu Nasril Islam, JNI (Society for the Victory of Islam) in separate reactions expressed deep concern. JNI’s President, the Sultan of Sokoto is spiritual leader of Nigeria’s 70 million Muslims and has huge power and influence.

CAN President Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor condemned “the barbaric and sustained bomb and gun attacks on innocent Nigerians” and called on the Federal Government to support the Christian association’s call for the branding of Boko Haram as a Foreign Terrorist Organisation, or FTO.

“The Federal Government should liaise with the international community and obtain their expertise in order to deal with the terror acts.

“The Federal Government cannot continue to condemn these heinous acts of the enemies of unity and agents of death without prosecuting those already arrested. This does not add up in any way. The Federal Government should do the right thing by prosecuting those already in its net with proven record of complicity.

The Christian leader is working for “unity” with a group called “Society for the Victory of Islam”? Talk about a proven record of complicity. 

Four more Muslims in U.S., including an imam, convicted for supporting jihad

via Four Somalis in U.S. found guilty of supporting terrorists back home – CNN.com.

A Somali terror leader implored his fellow countryman in California to send money ‘to finance jihad,” triggering a chain of events that ended with four convictions.

U.S. government agents recorded dozens of such calls a few years ago, according to the Department of Justice.

And on Friday, a jury found four Somali nationals guilty of supporting terrorism in their native country.

The verdict came after prosecutors played the recordings to jurors in a San Diego federal court during weeks of trial.

The four, who included an imam and a cab driver, had raised $10,000 and wired it to the Islamist terrorist group Al-Shabaab, according to the original indictment.

Cab driver Basaaly Saeed Moalin had many phone conversations with former Al-Shabaab leader Aden Hashi Ayrow, before a U.S. missile strike ended the latter’s life in May 2008.

Investigators from the FBI, Homeland Security and a San Diego anti-terror agency recorded dozens of them.

Federal prosecutors filed charges in November 2011. The group pleaded not guilty. But the recordings convinced the jurors otherwise.

Read the case file (pdf)

The money wasn’t coming fast enough for Ayrow, who implored Moalin in at least one recorded call to hurry it up. “You are running late with the stuff,” Ayrow told him. “Send some, and something will happen.”

Ayrow pushed the cab driver to get his local imam to come up with some funds. Mohamed Mohamed Mohamud ran the City Heights mosque in San Diego, which many in the Somali community attended.

Together with a second cab driver, Ahmed Nasiri Taalil Mohamud, and an employee at a money transfer company, Issa Doreh, they raised the cash and wired it to Al-Shabaab , the Justice Department said.

It wasn’t the only favor Moalin did for the terror group.

Moalin had kept a house in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu, one of the world’s most embattled cities at the time. He offered to let the terrorists use it, the Department of Justice said.

“After you bury your stuff deep in the ground, you would, then, plant trees on top,” Moalin told Ayrow in a recorded conversation. Prosecutors argued he was “offering a place to hide weapons.”

For months, they talked about “bullets, bombing and Jihad,” said U. S. Attorney Laura E. Duffy. After hearing the recordings, the jury no longer bought the defendants’ explanation that they “were actually conversations about their charitable efforts for orphans and schools,” she said.

Sentencing is scheduled for May 16.

In January, the United States granted official recognition to the Somali government in Mogadishu.

Supporting Muslims who wage jihad to overthrow the Syrian government is permitted by Obama. At taxpayer expense even. Supporting Muslims who wage jihad to overthrow the Somali government is not permitted.

Meanwhile, an imam in Virginia is implored Muslims in the U.S. to arm for jihad. What chain of events will that trigger?

19 Christian Children Rescued from Trafficker Before Sold to Islamic Centers

From the Frontlines with Steve Hill » Nineteen Christian Children Rescued from a Trafficker. via Persecution News.

International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that 19 children, who were to be sold to fundamentalist Islamic boarding schools (madrassas), have been rescued. Traffickers lied to the children’s parents, saying they would take the children to Christian boarding schools in Dhaka, when in fact, they were intending to sell the children to various madrassas. Students from Dhaka University discovered the children and rescued them. This is not the first instance of Christian children being trafficked to madrassas, as upwards of 150 children have been rescued from similar situations since July 2012.

According to ICC sources, on Feb. 3, 19 children, ages 5 to 12, were rescued from a trafficker named Binoy Tripura. Binoy confessed that he “collected the kids from their parents with lies and convinced them that [he] will admit all the kids to a Missionary [Christian] school in Dhaka.” He then collected 15,000 Taka (Roughly $183 USD) from each of their parents and intended to receive payment from the madrassa upon delivery of the children.

The children, Christians from the Tripura tribe, realized something was not right during their long bus journey from the remote “Cimbuk Hill” in the Bandarban district to Bangladesh’s capital city, Dhaka. Twelve of the children ran away at a rest stop and called their parents to explain what was happening. Not knowing what else to do, the parents called Tripura tribal students attending Dhaka University, desperately asking for help. The university students met the bus in Dhaka, rescued the remaining six children, and captured Binoy, who is now in police custody.

This is not the first instance of traffickers targeting low-income, Christian families due to their faith and vulnerability. This year alone, 55 children have been rescued from madrassas in Dhaka. On Jan. 2, police rescued 21 children from five madrassas and “other Islamic organizations.” ICC sources say that these children were forcibly converted to Islam and had their Christian names legally changed to Muslim ones. They believe the children, once fully brainwashed at the madrassa, were “destined for suicide squads” for use in jihad.

ICC began receiving reports in July 2012 that Christian children were being trafficked to madrassas. The first 10 were rescued that same month and reported to ICC that they were forced to study Quran verses and Muslim prayers, pray five times a day, and learn Arabic. If they refused, they were beaten with live electric wires or rods, underfed, locked in small closets, and verbally abused. “I was beaten many, many times because I didn’t want to pray,” a rescued boy said. Sources indicate that as many as 200 more children may also be in need of rescue.
