Tennessee Man Sentenced to 20 Years in Prison for Attempting to Provide Material Support to ISIS Benjamin Carpenter, also known as Abu Hamza, 34, of Knoxville, Tennessee, was sentenced today to 20 years in prison followed by 20 years of supervised release for attempting to provide material support to the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) in connection with providing translation services to ISIS, a designated foreign terrorist organization. “For years, this defendant led a global digital media operation to distribute pro-ISIS propaganda, promoting the group’s radical message of terror and pushing it to every corner of the world,” said Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department’s National Security Division. “Today’s sentence reflects the seriousness of this defendant’s conduct and the Justice Department’s commitment to identifying and holding accountable those who would provide material support to foreign terrorist organizations.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/gBZYv8iD

#StatecraftInTheNews: A synagogue, an Orthodox church, and police checkpoints were targeted in coordinated attacks on Sunday night in Russia’s Dagestan region. Four civilians, including a priest, and 15 police officers were killed. "According to preliminary data, 15 law enforcement officers were killed, as well as four civilians, including an Orthodox priest," said Russia's Investigative Committee. Five perpetrators were also "liquidated." Dagestan's Interior Ministry confirmed the attacks in Makhachkala and Derbent. Both a synagogue and a church caught fire after being targeted. The attacks, described as terrorist acts, have led to a counter-terrorist operation in the region. No group has claimed responsibility yet. Some attackers fled in a car. It's unclear if the five slain suspects were the only ones involved. Despite no claim of responsibility, Russian officials pointed fingers at Ukraine and NATO. "These terrorist attacks are connected with the intelligence services of Ukraine and NATO countries," said Dagestan lawmaker Abdulkhakim Gadzhiyev. President Ramzan Kadyrov of Chechnya called the attacks a provocation aiming to cause discord. Dagestan Governor Sergei Melikov vowed to identify all participants in these sleeper cells. Dagestan, a predominantly Muslim region, has faced Islamic extremism for decades. Derbent, home to an ancient Jewish community and a UNESCO site, was one of the cities attacked Join our WhatsApp channel for exclusive updates.

Morality is one aspect, but being part of a network aligned with an occupied mafia regime and choosing to collaborate represents a separate ethical challenge. Engaging in such activities is akin to purchasing stolen goods, thereby making oneself complicit. This approach may seem beneficial temporarily for those with unclean hands, but how sustainable is it in the long run? It's comparable to having hands stained with the lifeblood of Persian people. When you support a terrorist regime that has taken over Persian territories! May be is remaining within the EU viable if economic pressures mount? The era of colonization, mafia dominance, and dictatorship has ended—it is no longer sustainable. You are welcome to negotiate with the new regime, Reza Shah Pahlavi II, as a favorable pre-agreement deal is recommended. #withlovefromdenmark W❤️F🇩🇰 #womenlifefreedom ❤️🤍💚

David Cameron: It is not in Britain's interest to proscribe IRGC as terrorist organization. Thank you Mr. Cameron for candidness. It is truly discouraging to know that Britain is taking sides with the Islamic State occupying Iran in its war against peaceful Iranians who are risking their lives to return to the rule of law and live under secular democracy. گرامیان، دولتمردان خارجی که به قسم خود در مورد خدمت به کشورشان پایبند باشند، برای دوام حکومت اشغالگر اسلامی تلاش خواهند کرد. #IRGCTerrorists #YesToPahlavi #NoToIslamicRegime https://lnkd.in/gmdiWznQ

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard has been officially labeled as a terrorist organization by the Government of Canada, based on their infringement of humanitarian values. This declaration has revealed a notable inconsistency, given that Iran is currently leading the UN Human Rights Council's Social Forum. The participation of a group of 66 Islamic states and a majority of dictatorships underscores significant inadequacies within the UN structure.

So my Congresswoman from Lower Merion PA sympathizes with a terrorist organization. Democrats have declared open season on Jews. (I’ve voted Democrat for 56 years. ) CAIR was founded by several leaders of the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), a radical anti-Israel organization that was once described by the U.S. government as part of the “propaganda apparatus” of Hamas, a U.S.-designated terrorist organization (it is also viewed by the EU as a global terrorist organization).

The Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) is trending after it claimed responsibility for the recent Moscow terrorist attack. For those interested in understanding #ISIS as a whole, I have written extensively about the Islamic State's emergence, sustenance, the group’s dynamics, motives and broader political goals in my book "Stakeholders of Terrorism and the Caribbean".

Unless Russia & China r going to challenge the U.S and India led fake narrative on religious extremism/ terrorism that links Islam with terrorism ...and UNSC condemns U.S for creating #ISIS (acc to Mr Trump) and India (for creating TTP) no matter what the UN and Int Community do to develop Afghanistan and no matter who recognizes Afghan Taliban and even if Afghan Taliban wish to route out #ISIS and #TTP ..things would not change for the better and Peace can't be attained With Russia and China recognizing Taliban regime and the U.S not following suit and continuing to sponsor #ISIS would keep Afghanistan a tinder box . One should remember Trump threw MOAB (mother of all bombs) in Afghanistan at the site of a nuclear shelter complex in Kandhahar which was built during the era U.S was fighting the Soviet Union . When does one destroy shelters to protect people and soldiers from nuclear war ? Of course when one intends to drop nuclear bomb to prevent your rival from using that facility . So best non violent strategy to prevent the warmongers everywhere from making Afghanistan or God Forbid Pak and India a war theatre where nukes might be used is challenging U.S & Indian narrative on religious extremism/ terrorism

Today more than ever, it is clear that those who truly care about the lives of #Palestinian and #Israeli civilians must condemn in a clear voice the war crimes perpetrated #terrorist organizations. #Iran, #Syria and some other terrorist supporting countries will continue to support Hamas’ terrorist agenda – that is a given. But other States and organizations around the globe – those who truly wish for #peace in the region - can no longer remain silent: Hamas’ reign of terror must end. Those of you who wonder what the true meaning of staying silent in the face of hate, incitement, antisemitism and barbarism need look no further than the involvement of UNRWA staff in the barbaric terrorist attacks against Israel on #october7massacre. This is a wake up call and a clear demonstration that Hamas’ hold of the Gaza strip and the Palestinian people can no longer be tolerated. Israel will not be deterred in its just fight against those who actively seek to destroy it. #standwithisrael #freegazafromhamas
