Chicago MUSLIM cabbie pleads guilty to sending money to terrorists, gets light sentence

A Pakistani-born Chicago taxi driver who prosecutors say could be heard on FBI wiretaps discussing a plan to bomb a stadium pleaded guilty to attempting to send money to a Pakistani-based terrorist with alleged ties to al Qaeda.
CBS Standing before a federal judge in an orange jumpsuit and his ankles shackled, Raja Lahrasib Khan, 58, said he was pleading guilty to one count of two counts of attempting to provide material support terrorism. As part of the plea deal, prosecutors dropped the other count.
The agreement recommends a sentence of between five and eight years, well short of the maximum 15 years for a conviction of a single count of providing material support. A sentencing date was set for May 30, the U.S. attorney’s office said.
Outside court, defense attorney Thomas Durkin said finding jurors who could give his client a fair trial would have been difficult, suggesting that was one reason Khan accepted the deal with prosecutors.
”The word `al Qaeda’ scares the bejesus out of people and that’s all (jurors) have to hear,” he said. “But it was a difficult case … and the (agreement) was fair under the circumstances.”
Khan was arrested in 2010 and accused of taking steps to send cash to Pakistan-based terrorist leader Ilyas Kashmiri after Kashmiri indicated he needed money to buy explosives. Khan, prosecutors said, believed Kashmiri was getting his orders from Osama bin Laden.
A 35-page complaint affidavit filed after Khan’s arrest also accused him of discussing the possibility of planting bags of bombs around an unspecified stadium, saying in one wiretap, “Put one bag here, one there, one there … you know, boom, boom, boom, boom.”
Khan, though, was never charged with such an attempted attack as prosecutors focused instead on allegations the he sent money intended as aid for Osama bin Laden’s terrorist network, al Qaeda
Khan, who became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1988, in the 2010 complaint, allegedly said Americans must suffer to fully grasp the plight of Iraq and Afghanistan.
EVERY slime cabbie is an operative. Make no mistake about it. islame IS as islame DOES. Make no mistake about it.
This should NOT have been tried in a Federal Court. Since it is, obviously, a terror attack “against the United States of America”, it should have been a Military Tribunal, wouldn’t you think?
Upaces, we can’t even get a military tribunal going for the Gitmo terrorists.
Yes, and he was probably one of the hudreds of cabbis that refuse seeing-eye dogs in their cabs.
I bet you’d find a lot of cabbies all over the US are supporting terrorism.
But he got a “light sentence”…He made a deal with the FBI…”The agreement recommends a sentence of between five and eight years, well short of the maximum 15 years for a conviction of a single count of providing material support.”
There was no ruling of his chances of parole. That means he could be out in one or two years on good behaviour.
I don’t think HBO will like this kind of publicity. (See his ball cap).
Chicago? Mobster- controlled City? Now muslime-led mobster-controlled city. What else could have been expected?
Circumventing real justice by plea bargaining.
Fair trial? What about the “fairness” he planned for inocent victims?
Should have tried this anus-lifter and let the citizens make the decision, not the muslime-friendly big-wigs.
A U.S. citizen since 1988?! What the hell has happened to the Good Old Days; you know the days when f—ing traitors like this puke bastard asslifter would be promptly tried AND subsequently executed by hanging or firing squad?! Filthy asslifters like this one in Chicago are the chief reason I will be picking up an associate flying into the local airport in about 16 days; so that he will NOT have to ride with an asslifter cabbie, since the asslifters dominate the taxi pickup zones at that airport!!
“Khan, who became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1988″
Funding terrorists…wouldn’t this make him a TRAITOR?
This administration is AFRAID of the word traitor and more than easy on anything muslim!
Paula, well, you can’t expect a traitor to label anyone else a traitor.
Now, let me get this straight,,, In Afghanistan, Karzi is negotiating with the taliban for peace and tranquility, as the taliban has the habit and the kuran given right to stone, murder and torture those who do not believe as they do, or as strongly,,,
So, when the U.S. pulls out, the taliban will have full authority over the people of Afghanistan, and no mitigating influences,,, BUT, this fool says, ” Americans must suffer to fully grasp the plight of Iraq and Afghanistan. ”
Hmmm,,,
What will he say, when the taliban comes for HIS head???
He doesn’t know the kuran, the hadith, NOR the sunnah very well, evidently,,, NOR has he followed the teachings of the leaders of islam in recent days and years~!
HE PUT UP HIS RIGHT HAND AND SWORE AND OATH TO THE CONSTITUTION AND THE NATION OF THE UNITED STATES. thus he gave his native home land up.
Because he wanted to aide and abet the terrorist organisations that we as a people are still fighting. The law of Treason, and Sedition apply.
treason
· Violation of allegiance toward one’s country or sovereign, especially the betrayal of one’s country by waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies.

sedition In law, sedition is overt conduct, such as speech and organization, that is deemed by the legal authority to tend toward insurrection against the established order. Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent (or resistance) to lawful authority. Sedition may include any commotion, though not aimed at direct and open violence against the laws. Seditious words in writing are seditious libel. A seditionist is one who engages in or promotes the interests of sedition.
In my mind the death penalty is definitely on the table.
ICE, Muslims are immune from treason charges. That’s why nobody has charged Obama.
In my mind the death penalty is applicable.
I wonder if terrorists and their assistants get the same treatment in prison as child molesters…
Justice often occurs in unusual ways now that it is no longer a portion of the legal system.
Rabbi, they’re too busy converting to Islam for the food and break time for prayers.
Good point.
Then we will just have to rely on the good nature of their neighbors after they are released…
God damn the traitor and the judge and the Traitor in the White House and the Traitors in Congress!
Tie a rope to the terrorist’s ankles, lift it with a crane, drop it into a septic tank, cut the rope and slam the lid in place. Shit belongs in septic tanks. Muslims do not belong here.
