If he gets out in sixteen years, or 27, or 100, will he become a loyal, stable, productive citizen? What will be done while he is in prison to disabuse him of his jihadist sentiments? Absolutely nothing. That would be “Islamophobic.”
“A judge adds 11 years to the sentence for a man in a Chicago bomb plot,” Associated Press, July 19, 2024:
CHICAGO — A man convicted of plotting to blow up a Chicago bar will have to spend another 11 years in prison.
U.S. District Judge Matthew Kennelly resentenced Adel Daoud to 27 years in prison on Friday, the Chicago Tribune reported.
U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman originally sentenced Daoud to 16 years in prison in 2019 but a federal appellate court threw that sentence out in 2020, saying the punishment wasn’t tough enough, and ordered him resentenced.
Daoud, of suburban Hilldale, was arrested in an FBI sting in September 2012 after pushing a button on a remote he believed would set off a car bomb outside the Cactus Bar & Grill.
Daoud said he wanted to kill at least 100 people, according to government court filings. He was 18 years old at the time.
Daoud entered an Alford plea, a legal maneuver in which a defendant maintains innocence but acknowledges prosecutors have enough evidence to convict him if he were to go to trial. He also entered Alford pleas to charges that he solicited the killing of an FBI agent who participated in the sting and that he attacked a person with whom he was incarcerated with a shank fashioned from a toothbrush after the person drew a picture of the prophet Muhammad….

He looks sort of like Pennywise the Clown from “It” in terms of dacial expression.
At least he has a funky hairstyle, and better facial hair than a lot of other Islamic radicals.

These terrorist need to be weeded out from the roots. There has to be a to deprogram them. I know I’m reaching.

Not sure there is any way to deprogram them–just keep them out of the country, and keep a close eye on the ones already here.
Reziac says
I suggest sending them directly to Allah’s Paradise. They’ll get what they want and we’ll be saved an impossible task.

Patriot64,
Unfortunately, there is no real evidence that “deprogramming” actually works.
You may get a “one-off” here and there, but nothing substantial.
gravenimage says
Sadly true, James. Far more common is Jihadist pretending to be deprogrammed so that they can take another crack at us.
Burnaby Lad says
Daoud also bit his arm.
Taffy says
Hopefully he will serve his time in Florence ADX Supermax along with his other Muzzie terrorist cohorts, although he won’t be able to seepr talk to them. By the time he gets out he will be 57. Hopefully he will die in prison.

Raid roach motel, they check in but they don’t check out
