A Maryland teenager pleaded guilty to terrorism charges Friday for conspiring with an American woman known as “Jihad Jane.”
Mohammad Hassan Khalid, now 18, faces 15 years in prison for a single count of conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists for offering to raise money and recruit terrorists for jihad, the Associated Press reported.
Khalid was arrested last year after corresponding with Colleen LaRose, a Pennsylvania woman who has admitted to plotting to kill a Swedish artist whose depiction of the prophet Muhammad with the body of a dog offended Muslims. LaRose, who called herself Jihad Jane, faces life in prison.
In online conversations, Khalid said he would forward money to LaRose for her to give to jihadists in support of a Muslim holy war.
Khalid, who was a 17-year-old high school student from Ellicott City, Md. when he was arrested, had been offered a full scholarship to Johns Hopkins University.
Khalid had also spoken of planning a Columbine-style attack on his school during conversations in a jihadist chat room.
According to the Associated Press, Khalid and his family are legal immigrants to the U.S. from Pakistan. He could face deportation upon completion of his prison term.
A sentencing date has not been set.

Where is the logic of our tax dollars used to import radical, insane demon worshippers into our country? Crazy, insane, lets give them all scholarships too! Yea!

Posted on May 4, 2012 at 9:14pmSo a legal immigrant terrorist from Pakistan gets a full scholarship to Johns Hopkins University !
Legal, terrorist, Pakistan, scholarship, – only in liberal lily white America would those 4 words be in a sentence.
That makes about as much sense as when, a few weeks after 9/11 a grant was approved for one of the 19 Middle East guys to fly planes, WOW ! you can’t make this scheisse up.
Util every America gets a scholarship, then no one else should get one.

Posted on May 4, 2012 at 6:04pmThis is the garbage they are learning and we are paying for in our public schools, etc. They are laying the ground work. They need to close the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare and redo it. Get the commies out and restructure it. It is Huge. It covers everything that is going wrong with this country that is not in the Justice Department, headed by Eric Holder and the defense department headed up by Obama as commander in chief and thugs. They all have got to go. We can work with what is left if they do not steal this election. If either man could be recalled, convicted or jailed, it would be giving us a chance to get an early start on stopping what is happening in this country.

Posted on May 4, 2012 at 6:20pmDeport the entire family. Why the HELL are we still issuing visas to anyone from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, Somalia, Libya, Iran, Iraq, Yemen…we should have put an immediate, emergency moratorium on all visa issuances from those nations the day AFTER 9/11/01. We don’t need them here for any reason. Let them go live in Switzerland or the U.K.

I agree. Western countries should severely limit, if not stop, these cowardly savages from entering our lands. Perhaps your TSA should give them a pat down on the way in to the USA. That would be fun to watch, if nothing else.

Posted on May 4, 2012 at 3:46pmShe got what she deserved; if you can‘t do the time don’t do the crime. We have laws in this country and they are for everyone, even misguided teenagers. Bill Ayers the Presidents friend should have been sentenced to prison as well but due to the corruption in Chicago political circles he became a professor and continued to pollute the minds of more unsuspecting youth. Jane Fonda should have gone to prison for collaborating with the enemy as well. Too bad kid you did this to yourself.

Posted on May 4, 2012 at 1:43pmI don’t get why the government is letting anyone from Jihadist countries come here. I’m all for leaving them alone over there, but inviting them in seems pretty naive. Even if the government were competent enough to distinguish between peaceful and non-peaceful Muslims, the best thing to do would leave the good ones over there to promote change.

There is nothing American about a muslim engaged in Jihad. At some point an example must be made.
Deport him and his family. The same for Jihad Jane.
Putting them in prison will only provide them an opportunity spread Islam among the inmates; we have enough muslim-converts rattling around in America’s prison system.
Deport them.
