Mohamed Sheikh Abdirahman Kariye is the imam of the largest mosque in Portland, Oregon. It is good that all this has come to light, but is anyone paying any attention to the other Muslims who heard Kariye preach week after week for years? How many other jihadis are in the Portland area? What is being taught at Masjed As-Saber now?
“Imam told Portland Seven that combat against U.S. was ‘legitimate jihad,’ court papers say,” by Bryan Denson, The Oregonian, September 30, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The imam of Portland’s biggest mosque collected money from worshippers after 9/11, sending the Portland Seven to Afghanistan to fight against coalition forces, the U.S. Department of Justice alleges in its fight to deport the imam.
Arguments between lawyers for Mohamed Sheikh Abdirahman Kariye and the Justice Department reveal new details of the government’s legal maneuvers to strip the imam of his citizenship.
As religious leader of Masjed As-Saber, Kariye told several members of the plot that “Muslims should fight with fellow Muslim brothers of Afghanistan against Americans” and that this combat was a “righteous fight … legitimate jihad,” Justice Department lawyers wrote in an exhibit filed earlier this month in the immigration case.
“Kariye was present when members of the Portland Seven left to go wage jihad, and he wished them good luck on their journey,” according to an exhibit filed earlier this month in the government’s lawsuit to strip Kariye of his citizenship.
The imam was never charged with any crime related to the Portland Seven. While people who prayed in his mosque were sentenced to prison for their roles in the failed plot, Kariye’s only U.S. criminal conviction came in 2003, when he got probation for understating his income to qualify for state healthcare benefits and using a Social Security card with a false birth date.
Kariye’s lawyers, Nicole Nelson and Philip James Smith, have filed papers seeking to dismiss the government’s lawsuit on jurisdictional grounds. They argue that federal law requires the U.S. attorney to file such a complaint, not the team from the Justice Department’s Office of Immigration Litigation in Washington, D.C.
Government lawyers Benjamin G. Mizer, William C. Peachey and Christopher W. Dempsey argued in a response filed earlier this month that the law allows them to represent the U.S. in filing the complaint to strip Kariye of his naturalization.
U.S. District Judge Anna J. Brown is expected to rule on the dueling motions, but it’s unclear when.
Brown presides in another civil complaint involving Kariye: He is one of several plaintiffs in a lawsuit that accuses the FBI and its Terrorist Screening Center of violating the constitutional rights of those placed on the U.S. no-fly list, including him….
Kariye is playing the victim? What a surprise.
“Kariye is playing the victim? What a surprise.”
His spiritual father Satan plays the victim all the time. Who do you think taught them to play “victim”?
disgusting. I just checked for the first time and there are NINE mosques on Staten Island. I’ve never seen one! they are all in the black areas, but still, when i drove a cab for extra bucks, i had lots of blacks in the car but not muslims.
what are they doing, multiplying like roaches? (rabbits are too cute to compare against muslims)
I still can’t believe we’re welcoming these savages here with open arms. Europe is just a few years ahead of us, in that we’re giving them the rope to hang us. Brilliant!
Unbelievable.
How is this bastard going to feel when one of his bros does something and Americans declare open season on him and every other raghead?
We have become to civilized to handle our problems the way we know we should.
The only positive I can take away from things like is that I don’t live in a progressive bastion that embraces these people. When it comes time to pay the piper, the chances of it happening to me, or my family, is small compared to all the progressives that are potential targets. I am not saying I want it to happen; though, when eventually they are vaporized in the flash of a nuclear detonation over some progressive stronghold, or are torn apart by a car bomb at their organic farmer’s market, or are executed despite their coexist bumper sticker, I will thank God it is them and not me.
The biggest of bullies know how to play the victim card.
A universally-held sentiment, to be sure. The EU must be holding its breath and praying 24/7. Putin is dealing with Isis and radical Muslims in the way our president should.
From the dumb statements coming out of the WH, we need to factor
in the lamebrain types the WH ding-a-ling surrounds himself with:
<><> know-nothing O mouthpiece, Josh Earnest, who stupidly
said Putin was acting from "a position of weakness,"
<><> Susan "The Video" Rice, O's ntl security (gag) advisor,
<><> Tommy "The Dude" Vietor, O's campaign driver who (no joke)
had ntl security clearance, and actually sat in on Crisis Room meetings,
<><> Marie Harf, the State Dept's glittering jewel of colossal ignorance.
We are harboring the enemy allowing these folk to walk free. Arrest ‘em, try’em. Deal accordingly. We gotta stop wiping out.
Well I say that hosing down Mohamed Sheikh Abdirahman Kariye with bacon grease and then setting his ass on fire is a legitimate response to Islamic terrorism.
This is a question that Imam pigsh*t, his acolyte congregants, or his non-muzzy enablers need to ask.
He is a walking cancer.
A rifle in .17 HMR with attached suppressor could turn some raging imam’s head into pink mist at 500 meters. In mid-rant, so to speak.
“Gentlemen, we have the technology”.
All we need is the will.
Better do that in an area that won’t catch something else on fire. Wouldn’t want to endanger any fireman’s life
Maybe just drop him into a big vat of bacon grease then, and see if he can climb out.
Sure seems like someone wants to bring the fight to U.S. soil, doesn't it?
That we allow this is absolutely self-destructive. At least they are going after this guy, but we’ve heard these stories over and over for years now.
Death sentence for this guy.
When more Americans die you will come on board.
