ATLANTA – A 23-year-old man was convicted Wednesday of aiding terrorist groups by sending videotapes of U.S. landmarks overseas and plotting to support "violent jihad," after a federal jury rejected his arguments that it was "empty talk."

The Atlanta jury found Ehsanul Islam Sadequee guilty of all four charges he faced after about five hours of deliberations that began Tuesday afternoon.

Sadequee, who could face up to 60 years in prison, is scheduled for sentencing Oct. 15. He stared silently after the verdict was read, and relatives and supporters in the courtroom had no immediate comment.

Just another Jihadist doing his obligated duty, following the ways of the pedophile prophet.

"Bukhari:V9B87N127 "The Prophet said, 'I have been given the keys of eloquent speech and given victory with terror.'"

Qur'an:33:26 "Allah made the Jews leave their homes by terrorizing them so that you killed some and made many captive. And He made you inherit their lands, their homes, and their wealth. He gave you a country you had not traversed before."

Ishaq:580 "Our strong warriors obey his orders to the letter. By us Allah's religion is undeniably strong. You would think when our horses gallop with bits in their mouths that the sounds of demons are among them. The day we trod down the unbelievers there was no deviation or turning from the Apostle's order. During the battle the people heard our exhortations to fight and the smashing of skulls by swords that sent heads flying. We severed necks with a warrior's blow. Often we have left the slain cut to pieces and a widow crying alas over her mutilated husband. 'Tis Allah, not man we seek to please."

Motivating stuff...

From reading the article it seems as if the guy was off the deep end. He made some videos and sent them to a known terrorist (who probably laughed at them before hitting the delete key). I see this guy as being a prime candidate for the "America's Stupidest Terrorist" award. Poor guy got picked up by the gubmint and sold down the river by his "terrorist buddy" he met online.

Modern terrorists pass information by hand, they don't use electronics because they can be tracked based on RF emmisions, this guy thinking he was a big bad terrorist cause he took some choppy videos of landmarks is just sad.

If anyone watches Trailer Park Boys, the government just captured Cory and Trevor.

I was almost on this jury....got called for duty Monday morning to Fulton Courthouse (Superior Court) but was released early Monday afternoon.....

Wondered what the news crews were for....

[Vasilli22]

I’m sure Obozo will give him a full pardon. After all, it’s America’s fault for causing his anger in the first place.

Poor guy

Yeah...poor guy with explosives and bomb belts...so sad...and by the way stupid Muslims (they all are) are murderous muslims.

[bankcritic]

It was the guy he went to see in Bangladesh that had the bomb belts and explosives, not Cory. Think of the real terrorist he met as Ricky or Julian.
