Teen Who Wanted to Join ISIS Will Be Free to Start College By JAMES HILL Nov 18, 2016
An Illinois man who tried to slip out of the country to join ISIS in the Middle East should be freed from prison in time for him to begin college courses next fall, a federal judge ruled today, but he will be subject to intensive, customized monitoring and supervision for 20 years following his release.
“I hope you appreciate what has happened in this case," U.S. District Judge John J. Tharp told Mohammed Hamzah Khan at a sentencing hearing. "You are standing here as someone who was on his way to join an organization that would like nothing more than to destroy the United States. But you have not been treated as an enemy. You have been treated with respect."
Drawing a stark contrast between what he called the “barbarism” of ISIS and the “standards of civilization” in the U.S. courts, Tharp emphasized to Khan that “instead of a public be-heading, you have been given a public trial."
Khan was 19 years old when he was arrested at O’Hare International Airport in 2014, as he and his two teenage siblings, both minors, were preparing to travel overseas to join ISIS, the Syria-based terrorist group. The younger children were not charged.
As a condition of his release next August, Khan will be subject to what prosecutors and defense counsel agreed were among the strictest conditions of supervised release ever fashioned in this judicial district.

And the kid sees it as weakness and despises us for it.
It will not stop him. He has no conscience.
U.S. District Judge John J. Tharp is responsible for any future damage done by the youth.
Obama appointee (the judge, that is, not the terrorist kid).
Why, YOUR parents look JUST like THIS:
Why, YOUR mother probably has TWO whacko hand tattoos, I'd wager.
NOTHING WRONG HERE, yup..!!!
Khrushchev was right when he said (paraphrasing) “Americans will sell me the rope with which I can hang them”.
From the article: “Khan will be subject to what prosecutors and defense counsel agreed were among the strictest conditions of supervised release ever fashioned in this judicial district.”
Anyone else want to believe that “strictest conditions” means absolutely no conditions?
In the Middle East he wouldn’t have gotten either a trial or a government appointed lawyer. Now, go to a state college and have taxpayers subsidize the education.
Should be swinging from a rope.....
He should be stripped of citizenship and deported
Hope some thugs administer street justice to this POS.
Really? This Turd belongs in a 6x9 doing time!!
Candidate for a double tap...
I think my son would have referred to him as one of the “proud and stupid” ones, as he said of the 9/11 terrorists.
Not likely to work, as proposed.
Ankle bracelet for the rest of his life, I hope.
