In Pamela Geller beheading plot, Muslims ‘hoped to achieve martyrdom’

“There was a reiteration of how she deserved to be killed for the fact that she had insulted the Prophet Muhammad. We did not discuss in detail a specific date, but we were discussing the possibility that we could go for a future event she was holding in New York.”

They hoped to commit jihad murder at one of my events in New York, just as Ibrahim Simpson and Nadir Soofi hoped to commit jihad murder at my free speech event in Garland, Texas.

Their concern about my supposedly insulting Muhammad, and their hope of attaining martyrdom — dying for Islam and attaining the virgins of Paradise — should tell authorities something about the Islamic motivation of plots such as these, and of the terror threat in general. But law enforcement officials refuse to ponder such evidence.

“In Geller beheading plot, men ‘hoped to achieve martyrdom,’” by Chris Villani, Boston Herald, September 22, 2017:

An Everett man dismissed by his own lawyer as a fat, failed loner was the mastermind in a plot to behead conservative columnist ­Pamela Geller, his alleged co-conspirator testified yesterday.

“We hoped to achieve martyrdom,” Nicholas Ro­vinski testified in Boston federal court, referring to himself, defendant David Wright, who is facing terrorism charges, and Wright’s uncle, Usaamah Rahim, who was shot and killed as he brandished a knife in a confrontation with police and federal agents in Boston.

Rovinski said the three men hoped “that by going forth with the beheading against Pamela Geller, that we would then gain martyrdom through our death. We had pledged allegiance to the leader of the Islamic State.”

Wright, 28, of Everett is charged with conspiring to commit acts of terrorism, among other charges, and could face up to life in prison if convicted.

During the second day of the trial, Rovinski said Wright was the leader of the trio and did most of the talking when the three met on an isolated Rhode Island beach to discuss the plot to behead Geller in May 2015, before they went out for pizza.

Authorities say they targeted Geller because they were upset she had organized a Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest in Texas.

“There was a reiteration of how she deserved to be killed for the fact that she had insulted the Prophet Muhammad,” Rovinski said. “We did not discuss in detail a specific date, but we were discussing the possibility that we could go for a future event she was holding in New York.”

Prosecutors showed text messages between Wright and Rovinski that mentioned the plot and played phone conversations that had been recorded by law enforcement, including one in which Wright laughed hysterically at the mention of beheading.

On cross-examination, Wright’s attorney, Jessica Hedges, tried to show the group more as bumblers than lethal jihadists.

Hedges pressed Rovinski on other ideas he had come up with to cause havoc, including taking over a battleship, unleashing an electromagnetic pulse, or overloading the U.S. with opiates and then suddenly cutting off the supply….

Pamela is real hero , fighting against all odds for many who take their rights for granted. Look at Europe .

In EU Left/liberal/Feminism gave “freedom” to women and abused men, so we have a broken societies with clueless women getting attracted to Islam for giving them a sense of “direction , peace “.

so they welcome their future jihadi husbands http://bit.ly/2uHm0YC

….and they consider those who speak out against jihadi criminals as “nazi”!

That is where muslims go. ” “There will be no one of you who will not enter it (Hell).
This was an inevitable decree of your Lord.
Afterwards he may save some of the pious, God-fearing Muslims out of the burning fire.
— Sura 19:71-72”

Pondering takes effort of the mind, something the authorities abhor in favor of doing what they think will garner more votes and/or praise.

They need hanging and have their faces and hands and hair coated in bacon grease—showing the disgrace and that they deserve hell not their witch-craft of 72 virgins -which is a crock as well as a lie -a con-job.the koran-suna and the hadith— which are built on more LIES!
FILTHY ISLAM NEEDS TO BE SHOWN FOR THE CON-JOB AND LIE THAT IT IS AND HOW THESE MIDDLE EASTERN DICTATORS USE IT TO DEFRAUD ALL THE INFIDELS AND STUPID MOSLEMS as well.
