Canadian parents plead for mercy ahead of jihadi son’s sentencing in NYC mass murder bomb plot New York City on concert venues, subway stations and Times Square

29

Abdulrahman El Bahnasawy was arrested in a mass murder ISIS plot to attack New York City concert venues, subway stations and Times Square. Mass death.

El Bahnasawy began planning a suicide attack on New York that was to include the detonation of improvised explosive devices at Times Square and in subways, and mass shootings at concert venues, court documents show.

El Bahnasawy recruited other purported Islamic State sympathizers to help co-ordinate and carry out the attacks, including one man who, unbeknownst to him, was an undercover FBI agent.

On May 21, 2016, under the guise of taking a family vacation, El Bahnasawy, then 18, drove to Cranford, N.J., with his parents and sisters to set the attack in motion, unaware that he was being heavily monitored by U.S. law enforcement.

He was arrested by the FBI upon his arrival.

Since being incarcerated in a New York corrections facility, El Bahnasawy has “marked the walls of his prison cell with images and statements expressing his support for ISIS and terrorist attacks, and warning that more attacks were to come,” U.S. prosecutor Geoffrey Berman said in a written submission filed to a New York federal court.

None of the news reports are covering this. It’s all about the boy. The poor, misunderstood savage.

One photo of El Bahnasawy’s cell walls submitted to court shows a scrawled list of high-profile terror attacks, including 9/11 and the Boston Marathon bombing, encircled by what appears to be a heart and the words, “and more coming.”

Now the parents are claiming “mental illness.” Is Islam a mental illness? — then classify it as such, but in the meantime, Abdulrahman El Bahnasawy  should receive no mercy, and be given no quarter.

Once again the family of jihad slaughters scrub and whitewash and cover for Islamic holy war.

“There are many issues in this world but I don’t want to lose my life or freedom to try fixing them, and I definitely do not want to resort to violence or harm to fix them. I sincerely apologize for my (behaviour) and I only ask for a second chance.”

A second chance at mass murder?

American prosecutors are requesting a life sentence for a Canadian man who admitted to plotting terrorist attacks on New York City landmarks at the behest of a high-ranking Islamic State operative.

Abdulrahman El Bahnasawy, a 20-year-old from Mississauga, Ont., pleaded guilty in October 2016 to planning bombings and mass shootings at Times Square, in subway stations and at concert venues while still a teenager.

With his sentencing scheduled for April 9, American federal prosecutors have asked a judge to send El Bahnasawy to prison for life, in accordance with U.S. guidelines for punishing similar terror offences.

“El Bahnasawy’s willingness to kill innocent civilians and martyr himself for ISIS, his absolute commitment to ISIS at the time of his arrest, and his deeply disturbing conduct since then ΓǪ powerfully support a single conclusion: the incapacitation of El Bahnasawy should be total and lifelong,” U.S. prosecutor Geoffrey Berman said in a written submission filed to a New York federal court.

El Bahnasawy’s lawyers have requested a sentence “no greater than necessary to comply with (the law),” and suggested he be released from custody in his mid-twenties, “when his cognitive development will be complete.

Canadian parents plead for mercy ahead of son’s sentencing in NYC bomb plot
Prosecutors say he’s a threat and deserves a life sentence; parents say he’s mentally ill and needs help

By Susan Ormiston, Nazim Baksh, CBC News Posted: Mar 21, 2018:

The parents of a Canadian man convicted of plotting ISIS attacks against busy New York City landmarks say their son was a mentally ill teenager and doesn’t deserve to spend the rest of his life in prison, however horrible his crimes.

“Since being incarcerated in a New York corrections facility, El

“El Bahnasawy’s lawyers have requested a sentence “no greater than

custody in his mid-twenties, “when his cognitive development will be
complete.” Oh nice, they want him out just in time when he is fully matured, so that he can do a more effective strike(s), right? The fu*king lawyers should be tried for putting up such a stupid defense.

Agree. Its because of such leniency jihadi crimes are soaring in EU/UK .

Like this case of swedish girl who was gang raped but what they did to her after the attack is even more horrific that shows level of hatred they have against non-muslim women/girls

And the nutjob feminazis support more of these “immigrants” while media deliberately either does not cover these crimes of play down or mislead the dumb left/liberal populace about the islamic link

“Now the parents are claiming ‘mental illness.” Is Islam a mental illness – then classify it as such but in the mean time, Abdulrahman El Bahnasawy should receive no mercy, given no quarter”. Being a muslim and following islam has been proven to be mental illness, judges all over the world have allowed that muslims commuting crimes do so because they are mentally retarded. In this case, the potentially murdering muslim could be sent to an institute for the criminally insane for life instead of merely jail. There is no point in offering crazy people a second chance to prove they are.

Islam is toxic. He should have ZERO consideration or contact with other Muslims. No halal, no Quran, no Imams, etc. Those are the things that made him ‘crazy’, so all contact with them should be removed. If I were in charge, anyone that commits a crime in the name of their God, Christian or Muslim or Jew, etc. should have no contact or support from people of their religion. PERIOD. That might be something that would make them think twice, to not be allowed the reinforcement materials and people that support their religion.

Notice that no where in the pleas and protestations from this murderously inclined muslim, is there any recognition of personal responsibility for his actions. There is no reason to think he would not try mass murder again, given the chance.

Here’s hoping that he gets a life sentence to be served in a U.S. prison. And just a gentle warning to the U.S., never decide to allow this piece of Islamic filth to serve his sentence, or at some point the remainder of his sentence, in a Canadian prison. The treacherous Canadian authorities would quite quickly decide to release him. We’ve seen it all before.

“life sentence”

S- like this makes us a poorer country as he’s fed, housed, clothed, and given free med care. Execute the POS, he was on a SUICIDE mission anyway.

F- pisslam, F- this POS.

You don’t seem to have a plan. The problem is that if people in your country haven’t the guts and moral outrage to execute him, what is the alternative? Tell you what, I’m South African, served in the military and for a small fee and you handing me a revolver I will happily put a bullet through his brain and save you food, ‘housing, clothes, and free med care.’

“The parents of a Canadian man convicted of plotting ISIS attacks against busy New York City landmarks say their son was a mentally ill teenager and doesn’t deserve to spend the rest of his life in prison, however horrible his crimes”. His intended victims would be of varying ages, spending the rest of eternity being dead. That should be a consideration in sentencing.

British MP says the only way to deal with muslim terrorists is to kill them.
Carry on and make an example for these intolerant murderous cult ideologists.
And plant a clear warning to Justin Trudeau and all his Canadian liberal lunatics motto “diversity is our strength” bovine scatology is an extreme muslim security breach, and their dangerous reckless pandering and financing/supporting/rewarding/ sympathizing with muslim and sikh terrorists and terrorism will never ever be tolerated.

Poor parents, want the boy to keep suffering. They should wish for his death so the boy won’t be tormented by ISIS and their ideology.

Look, said the parents, my boy is scribbling himself to death. Being tormented by ISIS violence. I plead with you judge, to hang my son by the neck until dead or he’ll hurt himself misspelling words and others by his bad grammar.

He pleaded guilty and the attack was a planned SUICIDE. Death penalty for this a-hole.

When an animal is rabid shoot it . This is the excuse every time these people try to murder us . He’s sick , he’s ill , he’s had a bad Muslim upbringing , he’s a terrorist plain and simple and not a Canadian citizen in the eyes of most Canadians , many of us want this terrorist tied immigration stopped . Todumb -Trudope our crime minister is just to stupid to see what he has done to Canada by converting to and supporting his Isis brotherhood , new religion , he has no respect for fellow Canadians or our US brothers and sisters . Todumb is an embarrassment to 90% of Canada on a world scale ,even his libtard fellow puppets are turning on this nut case . Trudope the pm is legalizing drugs to get the rest of the votes , he is bringing in thousands of these terrorists into our Canada just for votes .Please don’t feel bad about putting a terrorist in jail for life or better yet hang the bastards . The informed youth of Canada will fight back and take back Canada from Todumb and his Muslum terrorists and none born here Canadians he is putting in key government jobs , to control the founding Canadian families that he has said won’t be here in a generation or so under his leadership . This youth “will” retake Canada back , and I hope never let Canada be governed by an elitist , river guide , drama instructor again . Our past pm stated correctly, when he stated Trudope is not ready to be Canada’s leader yet . And l add to that : “ever” as he’s an idiot and an imbecile on a grand world scale . Yup Canada and mr. dress up are not looking to good south of the border right now . Just hang him and send a message to the rest of these Canadian terrorists that we are behind you 100% whatever you decide ! Sorry America for our idiot pm leadership , it’s going to change soon one way or another .

There’s a lot of focus on the southern border, but the norther border with Canada is starting to cause American some problems.

Their prime minister, Justin Zoolander, is flying in as many refugees as humanly possible without any vetting.
