The New York Post ran a story about Matthew Mahrer, “a Jewish man and the grandson of a Holocaust survivor,” who plotted attacks on two New York City synagogues. From the looks of Mahrer’s weedy man bun and weak facial hair, he seems to be a typical leftist who believes that the Israelis are the “oppressor” and the “Palestinians” are the poor “indigenous people” of the land.
Yet the Post also notes that “his pal Christopher Brown” was “carrying weapons with a Nazi armband recovered in his bags.” Yet Christopher Brown doesn’t look like a National Socialist. Instead, he looks for all the world like an Islamic jihadi. He has the copious beard and is wearing a kufi, and judging from the Post’s picture alone, has the arrogant mien that so many Muslims affect.
Is Brown a convert to Islam? It’s possible. That’s just the sort of thing the establishment media wouldn’t dare report, as they have a cardinal rule that anything that makes Islam look bad is to be downplayed or ignored altogether. Or is Brown just an admirer of Islam, draw to it by the hatred of Jews and Israel that he knows find ample justification in the Qur’an? That would essentially be the same thing. Remember also that the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Hajj Amin al-Husseini, lived in Berlin from 1941 to 1945 and worked with Hitler and other National Socialist leaders. After the war, many National Socialists moved to Egypt and Syria and converted to Islam.
One of the problems we have in America and the West in general today is that authorities will never address such considerations. It would be unforgivably “Islamophobic” even to ask such questions.
“Whacko accused of plotting attacks on NYC synagogues sobs to mom as he’s sent to prison: ‘Let them down,’” by Kyle Schnitzer, New York Post, January 22, 2025:
One of the sickos accused of plotting to attack New York City synagogues sobbed his way through sentencing Wednesday — after he admitted to helping a neo-Nazi buy an illegal gun in 2022.
Matthew Mahrer, 24, weeped [sic] on his mother’s arm inside the courtroom before he was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison by Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Gregory Carro….
The crybaby, who was busted with his pal Christopher Brown two years ago, said he was “thankful” that no one was hurt in the thwarted attack.
“I could not be more thankful that no one was hurt,” Mahrer told the court, before apologizing to his family and telling the court he “let them down.”
Mahrer, a Jewish man and the grandson of a Holocaust survivor, was busted shortly after Brown was arrested at the Long Island Rail Road platform at Penn Station on Nov. 19, 2022 while carrying weapons with a Nazi armband recovered in his bags, sources said.
At the time of Maher’s arrest, cops seized a loaded handgun with an extended magazine and a bulletproof vest from his Upper West Side apartment.
Brown was sentenced to a decade of prison last year after he pleaded guilty to possessing a weapon as a crime of terrorism….

Perhaps he really is repentant. Who can say for certain? Some people are easily misled; and the creepy bearded goon was evidently the leader of this plan.
“weeped”…is funny, but the account certainly isn’t.

Matthew Mahrer *may* be repentent–but I doubt very much that ‘Christopher Brown’ is.

Ignoramuses almost never repent.

Was there an Islamic connection to the National Socialist plot to attack two NYC synagogues in 2022?
Yet the Post also notes that “his pal Christopher Brown” was “carrying weapons with a Nazi armband recovered in his bags.” Yet Christopher Brown doesn’t look like a National Socialist. Instead, he looks for all the world like an Islamic jihadi.

Christopher Brown–probably his birth name–certainly *looks* like a pious Muslim, and not like a neo-Nazi per se–of course, lots of Jihadists are big fans of Adolf; likely the case here. Wonder what his Muslim name is?

Was this a carefully contrived entrapment undertaking planned by the police.
In the past there was a “plot” to something dastardly. The suspect were a pair of dopy meth-heads who’d been led into it by an undercover cop.

So you think that these lovely fellows wanting to attack Synagogues were just ‘entrapped’ into doing so? What would it take for *you* to decide to attack Synagogues and murder Jews? This is not like police trolling for idiots who want to buy a cheap big screen TV off the back of a dodgy truck…
Note that Robert Spencer has pointed this kind of thing out before.

Hmm . . is there more to this yarn than meets the eye?
Here is a true tale from Canada:

So you’re good with Muslims wanting to destroy the Infidel Canadian government? Poor Jihadists…
Any sane person would find this judge’s ruling chilling.
Do you believe that ordinary Canadians would really be tempted by this plot?

Entrapment is not easily understood by many people….even some judges get it wrong.
It’s only entrapment by the police if…****if***** the one committing the crime would not have done so on his own.
Lawyers will try anything to get their client’s acquitted; calling it entrapment is a defense ploy that often works on juries, and some judges.

If Mahrer were my son I would have forbad my wife from attending the trial or supporting him in any way. How can you support a child that wants to kill you and others? I would also publicly disown him and forbid him to ever come near of contact the family.

Namer–with all respect–it’s Islam where men forbid their wives. I do agree that she’s probably an idiot, though.
somehistory says
A mother who loves her son, even when he has done something terrible, loves him unconditionally. What would be great….for mozlum mothers to love their children….even a little bit.
In the Bible, King Manasseh had his own children killed. In fact, he burned them as sacrifices on the altars he set up to worship ba’al.
But, he later repented and God forgave him. .
If this young fool has repented, he should be shown forgiveness by his mom, if not by the public or the law.
