Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam.
The Rahami family came to America from Afghanistan as refugees. They made life miserable for their neighbors. When the police tried to bring some order, they cried Islamophobia.
Two of the Rahamis have posted in support of the Muslim Brotherhood, Al Qaeda and other Islamic terror groups on social media. The third actually built and planted bombs to kill Americans. He terrorized two states, tried to kill and maim countless Americans and then shot it out with police.
Ahmad Khan Rahami, the central figure in the terror case, brought his wife here from Pakistan and she departed days before his attack. His mother left for Pakistan a few weeks before his bombing spree.
The media, eager for a story of redemption, has widely broadcast the claim that Mohammed Rahami, Ahmads father, told the FBI that he was a terrorist. But that was years ago. And Mohammed didnt turn in his son because there was a terror plot, but because he attacked family members.
As Mohammed put it, Because he doing bad. He stab my son and hit my wife. I put him in the jail."
This wasnt Mohammed Rahami being a good citizen. It was a dysfunctional oversized family of Muslim refugees causing problems for local law enforcement over their own internal disputes.
Ahmad stabbed his brother in the leg with a knife. His father told the FBI that Ahmad was a terrorist. Then he recanted the accusation and said that he had made it out of anger.
This wasnt patriotism. It wasnt helpful. It was selfish abuse of the system.
We get a lot of lectures from politicians about the contributions of Muslims, especially refugees, to America.
Here are the sum total contributions of the Rahami family to America. 29 wounded people in Manhattan. 1 wounded police officer in Linden, New Jersey. A chicken place that was the subject of disputes with law enforcement. A lawsuit against Elizabeth, New Jersey stemming from that chicken place, which threw around accusations of Islamophobia. Previous legal issues and a jail sentence for Ahmad over his family dispute. 1 assaulted police officer due to issues with the chicken place.
Then theres Ahmads unwed girlfriend and his baby whose case will be wending through the courts.
A conservative ballpark figure for the Rahamis and their various legal issues would be $100 million. Considering the sheer cost of scrambling manpower and resources across states, the hospital bills, the various insurance costs, the jail time, trial and security, thats probably erring on the thrifty side.
Unless one of the Rahamis cures cancer, there is nothing they can do to even the score.
3 of the Rahami children support Islamic terrorists. For all the nonsense about internet radicalization, its obvious that support for terrorism and hatred for America ran in the family. And it might not even end with Ahmad sneering on a stretcher. Theres a history of multiple siblings engaging in terrorism. The most effective Islamic terror cells in this country in recent years have been siblings and married couples.
We can waste more time puzzling it out or we can just get the Rahamis out of the country and let them be Pakistans problem or Afghanistans annoyance. They dont have to be our problem anymore.
And that is what we should have done back when these refugees first tried to set up shop here.
You’ll have to deport Barack first.
You did read the part where the father recanted, where he only said what he said out of anger because his son stabbed his brother in the leg.
The father didn’t have good intentions here, he didn’t warn anyone about his son, he was trying to use the police to stop a family battle - the same police he accused of Islamophobia, the police department he sued on those grounds.
The father didn’t “do the right thing” here, he abused the system like all entitlement minded, persecution complex wielding, perpetually offended idiots do.
“If a refugee can go back for a visit he is not a refugee.”
That’s a very good point. Cuban refugees weren’t going back to hang with Castro.
A few of those and you'll see lots of "self deportations".
The father only talked to police because of the son’s attacks on family members. As soon as everyone healed, he retracted his complaint, and our feckless DHS was happy to drop the investigation. All of them should be deported.
Can’t claim credit. I saw another FReeper post that from a quote from Germany.
A good way to stop some of the attacks would be to deport every member of a suspected terrorist’s family... every last one who is connected to him is taken out and back to wherever they came from.. even just being a suspected terrorist, get them out of here. Word would soon get around and family members might even turn a relative in.
Deportation is too easy plus they cost taxpayers. They say they want to be martyrs. Maybe we should give thm what they want. Pig grease coated bullets. It's obvious our own government can't save us. We are going o have to take out the trash occasionally when confronted by it ourselves. The Feds are making our lives miserable anyway, stealing all of our money and handing it to self entitled pigs while robbing us of our retirement benefits. Hell might even get 3 square meals and a room that way.
I bet they allow the wife and mother to return. A sad state of affairs, the USA is.
Hell give them a paid in full, lifetime vacation in Gitmo....
Why do New Jersey chicken-lovers need an Afghani cook? No native-born in Linden willing to work at a restaurant?
He didn’t do the right thing. He rightly reported that his son was a terrorist when the terror was directed towards his family, but when that information could have been used to protect innocent Americans the father recanted his claim to withhold that protection from anybody but his own selfish family - a family FULL of terrorists that he never did report.
He did the absolute WRONG thing. And yes, he should be punished for it.
Boy, I’m with you on this one!
If you need to go back. Stay!
Excellent point.
Thank you for the correction. I heard otherwise earlier this week.
