An ISIS-obsessed Queens woman was sentenced Thursday to 15 years in prison — and threw herself a pity party in court for being “so stupid.”
Asia Siddiqui has been locked up since her 2015 arrest for allegedly plotting with her ex-roommate Noelle Velentzas to set off explosives in New York.
“I’ve beaten myself up over and over for being so stupid,” an emotionless Siddiqui, 35, told Judge Sterling Johnson in Brooklyn federal court, as family members looked on from the gallery.
The twisted terrorist wannabe said her loneliness made her turn to writing poetry for the radical jihadist magazine Jihad Recollections.
“I still longed for someone to stumble upon my writing,” she said in court. “A normal person would not have seen that as an opportunity but I was far from normal. I was immersed in the web and had little life outside of it.”
Siddiqui’s lawyer Charles Swift argued for a sentence of 60 to 70 months, saying she played a minor role in the plot that never actually came to fruition.
“There’s a plot to build a bomb but no plan to use it,” he said.
Prosecutor Craig Huron, who asked for a 20-year sentence, countered by saying Siddiqui and Velentzas’ deadly intentions were clear.
“If the defendant had been successful to what she pleaded guilty to, a crime of violence could’ve been committed and people could’ve been killed,” Huron told Sterling. “We should take them at their word that they wanted to build a bomb and they intended to use it. These weren’t ephemeral remarks. This wasn’t a lark.”

LOL!
What happens to her 3? children..?
The twisted terrorist wannabe said her loneliness made her turn to writing poetry Wasn’t the last terrorist we blew up also hailed as a poet? We’re going to run out of poets! Maybe we should concentrate on the ones that are mimes for a while.
Stupid and evil is no way to get through life.
Younguns today talk about their “stupid brain” as if it is separate from themselves. They talk about stuff that we would never talk about like killing yourself or committing criminal acts. They see it as harmless venting and get mad if the cops are called.
please de-naturalize this terrorist parasite and ship her back to Saudi.
Good one.
I once was lonely
now I have a prison cell
d*mned infidels
What an argument to make... so what was the plan? Build a bomb and then just display it over the mantle?
I just read that soleimani was shot dead
by a drone that didn’t make any noise
but it wasn’t a bullet that laid him to rest
was the fast spark of hi tech toys.
apologies to Traffic
There should only be one sentence for operating in support of, joining or giving direct aid and comfort to an enemy.
Death.
Oh she may have had ten of them. Who knows...
Well, she wanted to live the thug life (loosely), so welcome to that life lady.
Thankfully no one had to die for her to learn a valuable lesson.
Maybe she and Dzhokhar can be pen pals.
Or Tamerlane's bitch convert wife.
The burka wearing wife who had no clue what was going on in their 800 sq ft apartment. Yea, if you’re family is Skull and Bones and CIA, you get off scot free.
Probably will be radicalized in prison.
