Three Somali-Minnesotan men convicted in May of trying to travel to Syria to fight alongside the Islamic State group received long sentences Wednesday, with prosecutors calling it a “deterrent” to future terrorists.
Although the sentences for Mohamed Farah, Abdirahman Daud and Guled Omar were similar, the tone of each hearing was noticeably different.
U.S. District Court Judge Michael Davis had especially strong words for Farah and Omar, who were sentenced to 30 years and 35 years, respectively.
In Farah’s hearing, Davis rebuked the “litany of lies” that Farah told as well as the community’s response to the case.
“There’s no denying there is a jihadist cell [in Minneapolis],” Davis said. “They want to publicize that these are just young kids who are misguided, but the court is thankful there was a trial so all the evidence could come out. It’s on the record. There’s no denying it, your own voices on those tapes, your voices here today admitting to what you’ve done.”

I like this Judge.
Being eaten alive by swine is the worst way to die for ISIS terrorist.
Then he found out he was headed to ADX Supermax, and all of a sudden he goes all "let's make a deal." He started to sound like Monty Hall, just before he disappeared forever.
...long sentences deter...
No.
Hard labor, cleaning pig sties and dog kennels, hunger, cold, heat, fleas, lice.... until they reach age 65 - then execution by being boiled in hog fat - by a female. That might be a deterrent.
I know who you are talking about. Can’t remember his name.
That’s a GOOD thing!
Long necks stretched by rope would be more of a deterrent.
Long sentences do not deter Moslems from anything. They are the most fatalistic people on earth. If Allah ordains that you spend your life in prison then so be it. That is why driving on streets in most of greater Arabia can be hairy. People do not bother about traffic when they go to cross the street. If Allah wills that I be killed today then so be it. If Allah wills that I cross the street alive then so be it.
How do you propose to change the Constitution?
Well they won’t deter these fatalists, but at least it will get them out of circulation.
I'll have you know that for some people being boiled in hog fat by a woman is a sexual orientation...
😃
But only if they want it.
Sorry you cannot change the Constitution, and that’s good because it could rebound on any of us.
