I am deeply grateful to all the jurors who were courageous enough to find the jihadi who plotted to behead me guilty on all counts. It would seem clear and elemental that they would, would it not? But we do not live in a rational world. The media and cultural elites blamed me for the plots to kill me – attacked me for not subjugating myself to the sharia. The jury saw past all that and found for freedom and individual liberty; they understood clearly what was at stake: our very way of life.
The Boston Herald was the only media outlet that interviewed me — AP asked for comment and used almost none of it.
This is the best, most objective coverage so far versus those knaves at, say, The Daily Mail whose headline could have been written by the Calph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Activist applauds conviction of her would-be jihadi beheader
The New York political activist targeted by a Boston terror cell for beheading had a simple message for the 28-year-old mastermind jihadi convicted for supporting the foreign terror group.
“I wish he was rotting in hell, but he’ll be rotting in jail for the rest of his life and that works for me,” Pamela Geller told the Herald yesterday shortly after David Daoud Wright, the man federal agents called a “full-fledged soldier of ISIS,” was convicted on a slate of federal charges.
“I’m very happy with the verdict and especially surprised that the jury saw through his pathetic and insulting excuses,” Geller said.
In swift deliberations over two half-days, a federal jury in Boston found Wright guilty of conspiring to support ISIS, conspiring to commit acts of terrorism and obstructing justice by wiping his and his uncle’s computers of evidence.
Wright faces life in prison when he’s sentenced Dec. 16.
Prosecutors said Wright, an Everett resident, in February 2015 hatched a “martyrdom operation cell” in Massachusetts with his uncle, Usaamah Abdullah Rahim, 26, and Nicholas Rovinski, 26, and masterminded a plan to carry out an ISIS-inspired beheading of Geller and police officers.
Rahim was shot dead by Boston police and federal agents when he confronted them with a knife two years ago at Wright’s urging. Rovinski pleaded guilty in September 2016 to conspiring to assist ISIS and plot acts of terrorism.
Acting U.S. Attorney William D. Weinreb called Wright’s conviction a “victory in the fight against ISIS and all terror organizations targeting the United States.”
“Wright is a terrorist, an ISIS supporter and recruiter who intended to wage war against the U.S. by beheading people and killing Americans,” Weinreb said. “Together Wright and his uncle planned to murder Americans, and those plans were as real as the long knives Wright’s uncle bought to carry them out.”
Peter Kowenhoven of the Boston FBI used the conviction to warn the public about the insidious threat of radicalization and call for help in spotting people at risk of joining a terror group before they are too far gone.
“The details of this investigation are upsetting, and indicative of the threat we are facing: Individuals in their own homes ingesting a steady diet of online terrorist training propaganda and information leading to radicalization,” Kowenhoven said.
He said the FBI wants people to call them if they notice a co-worker, friend or family member have a “sudden change in behavior.”
“Most homegrown terrorists aren’t completely unknown before they act,” Kowenhoven said. “In the majority of situations, a family member or friend knows about the individual radicalizing and sees that transformation.”

“Even journalist get beheaded.” Not the MSMedia journalist of today! They have a self-preservation mode that is first and foremost. They wouldn’t be caught dead (pun intended) in Syria, Iraq, Iran or NoKo. They are too busy creating propaganda (aka, Fake News) rather than reporting the truth! I doubt that only a few have the balls to admit to the truth.

All jihadis deserve death sentence and confiscate property assets of his supporters and deport them even if they are American citizens.
Its takes Patriots like Hungarian govt to tell the muslims and Left/Liberal pro-islam loons to get out. They expelled dutch ambassador for his pro-islam remarks http://bit.ly/2gh6A72
THAT is what a country needs if you want to prevent it from becoming another Islamic hellhole.

One supposes the Boston Herald believes Pamela should feel warm and fuzzy about her aspirant executioner. Leftist-progressives within and outside the media are imbecilic and possess the prescience of road-kill. Ironically, it the leftist alliance with jihadist that will come back to chew on their self-righteous hinys. It is called Karma.
I am so p’d off with these self-anointed leftists – they will never come to any logical or moral reasoning, as it is beyond their capacity and capability. Morally, they are bankrupt, commonsense has no place in the lefts’ shallow minds. In time, it will be they whom feel the blade of Islam and deservedly.

Well said, Ziggy, it’s now evident that when individuals embrace serious liberal/left views, it creates within them a form of mental disorder. Among other things, honesty and integrity deserts them.

How goes the battle, Rob? Rhetorical question, it is hard at times. I sit, like many folks, scratching my head about the lefts’ inanity and insanity when it comes to Islam and so-called social causes. Honesty and integrity holds no place for those within the malfunctioning and chaotic worldview of liberalism. Now, we have George W. being a propagandist for the progressive manifesto. Take care, Rob.

Isn’t George W. Bush amazingly stupid and spineless? For eight years he had Barack Obama slagging him and not a word of disparagement came out of Bush, but now with the media and Democrat dung incessantly attacking Trump, according to Bush the atmosphere being generated (by Trump, by implication he says) – not the media and disgusting liberals – is divisive. Trump did not initiate this atmosphere, the media and Democrats did, but because Trump beat up on whimpy brother, mummy’s boy, Jeb, George’s nose is still out of joint.

Amen, Rob, well said, my old brain is a tad in semi-comatose mode. Obama and the loathsome Democrats started all this divisiveness, not Trump, as said. Absolutely, the Bush dynasty ended with Trump’s thrashing Jeb. I, honestly, cannot stomach progressives, the MSM, obviously the Dems and every Republican who’s not a Republican but a RINO. Sadly, there are numerous of the latter. The status-quo, the establishment is in desperate want of a diaper change. Take care.

The “Boston Herald” newspaper is far superior to the “Boston Globe” newspaper. I call the “Boston Globe” the Bolshevik Globe, because it is so Liberal. Family friend, Don Feder, used to be the editorial head of the “Boston Herald.” He is now on sabbatical and writes editorials for Grasstops USA..

The ones you call radicals are actually the devout Muslims who follow the teachings of the Koran. For your benefit here are some of the verses I found with only minor research effort.
Koran 2:191 “Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them.”
Koran 3:28 “Muslims must not take the infidels as friends.”
Koran 3:85 “Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable.”
Koran 5:33 “Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam”
Koran 5:51 “O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other.”
Koran 8:12 “Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an.”
Koran 8:60 “Muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels.”
Koran 8:65 “The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Muslims to fight them.”
Koran 9:123 “O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness.”
Koran 9:5 “When opportunity arises, kill the infidels wherever you catch them.”
Koran 9:28 “The infidels are unclean; do not let them into a mosque.”
Koran 9:29 “Fight Those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, from among the People of the Book, until they pay Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.”
Koran 9:30 “The Jews and the Christians are perverts; fight them.”
Koran 22:19 “Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies.”
Koran 47:4 “Do not hanker for peace with the infidels; behead them when you catch them.”
Koran 48:29 “Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves.”
Just between you and me, I’d rather not be beheaded, nor put in garments of fire, nor hooked iron rods and I don’t want my skin melted. Plus, How are you going to learn about Islam if you aren’t allowed into their Mosques? Their holy book says you are stupid, are you? Do you have Muslim friends? oh, no you can’t. They aren’t allowed to be friends with non Muslims. Do you want to pay Jisyah and feel subdued?

I hope the sentence includes cuffing his hands behind his back & lifting him up off the ground by his beard, making him remain there until his face rips off due to gravity.
And if not, he’s got nowhere else to go.

Really the only problem with this is that there is not enough jail cells in the world to hold those who would act similarly.

Those in media and in politics who see fit to deny the First Amendment rights of others like Pamela need to be reminded that the constitutional freedoms that allow her freedom of expression are the very same liberties that allow the media and political discourse to even exist in the first place.

This is the comment I have tried to post on the Daily Mail (also called the Daily Smell) quote “Instead of slandering Pamela Geller as Islamophobic why not tel the truth that she has a phobia for beheadings, gang rape, child rape, child marriage etc.. I have the exact same phobias, I don’t like the idea of my head being cut off because I don’t want to join a religion.” BUT OF COURSE the snivelling rats at the Daily Mail have, as yet, not allowed my comment to be posted. They operate all the comments. They are disgusting left wing cowards.

I’m glad the jihadis were convicted. I hope they get a good long sentence and somehow someone teaches them why what they were doing was wrong. As a Christian we are enjoined to NOT hate our enemies, to love them and pray for them to be saved from their sins. It’s certainly not easy and I don’t know if Pamela Geller is a Christian or practicing Jew. If the latter then she is following the law by hating her enemies. I pray for her safety and for her to be saved. I also pray for the jihadis to be saved as well. It’s extremely unlikely that it will happen but stranger things have happened.

Actually, since the better translations do not speak of hell or ‘eternal’ punishment, there is every reason to believe God will ultimately save everyone.

Don’t know where you got that idea. Can you post references? Here’s some of what I found:
Matthew 25:46 Jesus is speaking “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.
2 Theselonians 1:9 “They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of His might.”
I think it would be wise to read and think about Deuteronomy 4:2 “Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it but keep the commands of the Lord your God that I give you.”
There’s also the prophecy of Revelations that also enjoins not to add or subtract from the words of God.
Revelations 22:18-19 “I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: if anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City which shall be described in this scroll.”
So consider your sources carefully and decide if they are credible or not. Satan is a very clever liar and will cheat and even tell the truth in such a way as to make you think it’s not what it means.
Oh and my quotes are from the latest New International Version but I compared them to others. My study Bible is a New American Standard but I study different translations to make sure I understand them as best I can. I don’t think ANY mortal human being can understand it fully.

Only a few members of the U.S. Military elite, are “executed” for their defensive actions against our enemies. All thanks to the “Bleeding Heart” Liberal Democrats! We can’t shoot our enemies anymore, we have to talk them to death! Oh, be sure to ask them for identification, first. Also, this Muslim will be in prison for years, so he can indoctrinate his fellow inmates in the ways of “peaceful” Islam.

But…but…but….that deprives that man of his first amendment rights to practice his religion…slay/behead the infidel wherever you find him.
Of course Muslim apologists will deny the plain reading of that verse and claim it is taken out of context. But the practice of Muslims for 1,400 years based on that verse and dozens of others like it demonstrate that they must also be taking it out of context.

The herald is the only print newspaper coming out of Boston that reports anything related to “conservative”, and they at least carry Howie Carr.
