Wisam Sharieff’s claim was plausible. Islam’s paradise is described in the Qur’an and Hadith in luridly sensual terms. Sexual pleasure is the reward of the blessed, or at least the blessed males.
“And beautiful ones with wide, lovely eyes, like hidden pearls, reward for what they used to do.” (Qur’an 56:22-24)
“That the Messenger of Allah said: ‘There are six things with Allah for the martyr. He is forgiven with the first flow of blood (he suffers), he is shown his place in Paradise, he is protected from punishment in the grave, secured from the greatest terror, the crown of dignity is placed upon his head – and its gems are better than the world and what is in it – he is married to seventy two wives along Al-Huril-‘Ayn of Paradise, and he may intercede for seventy of his close relatives.’ [Abu ‘Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.” (Jami at-Tirmidhi 3.22.1663)
“US imam and Islamic student jailed for decades over ‘appalling’ child grooming conspiracy,” by James Saunders, GB News, February 6, 2026:
An imam and his student in the US have been jailed for decades for their role in a child grooming conspiracy.
Religious teacher Wisam Sharieff, 44, of Euless, Texas, was handed an 80-year prison sentence, followed by a life term of supervised release.
His student, Blake Miller Barakat, 50, of Shelby County, Alabama, was sentenced to 70 years behind bars, also followed by a life term of supervised release….
The teacher admitted to conspiracy to engage in sexual exploitation of children, conspiracy to receive and distribute child pornography, and sexual exploitation of children.
His student admitted to sexual exploitation of children, distribution of child pornography, and possession of child pornography.
Sharieff had used the title of imam in his job as an “online instructor” who taught followers how to recite verses of the Koran, Islam’s holy book.
He claimed to have taught a network of more than 25,000 people around the world, including 50-year-old Barakat.
Court documents showed how the imam told his student that a person could improve their recitation and become “closer to Allah” through achieving sexual pleasure.
In October 2024, Sharieff and Barakat watched and shared pornographic videos with each other online, before influencing a seven-year-old child to watch these videos.
Both defendants went on to coerce the young child to engage in “sexually explicit conduct” for the purpose of producing child pornography….
Nera says
He was absolutely correct that is how to worship a demon. The fact that he’s jailed for these specific practices involving children is institutionalised islamophobia.
Pray Hard says
Could you explain your comment in some sort of English? Are you saying that his prosecution as a pedophile is “islamophobia”?
gravenimage says
Nera is being sarcastic, Pray Hard.
Rob Hoey says
I met this pig once and he is related to someone I know. I assure you he’s sneaky and dishonest. He was married 3 times, not twice as some reported. He got exactly what he deserves.
gravenimage says
Thanks for that background.
somehistory says
Beyond disgusting. Is this the same scummy slug from some time back here on JW?
Years in prison….not good enough. Eating, sleeping, watching tv, on at taxpayer expense. Crimes against children are the worst and should be punished capitally.
Perhaps these two, will just ugly away….soon.. Perhaps some petty thief will find they have landed in his area of judgment. No way they should be isolated from the general prison population.
These two sons of demons have ruined a poor child.
James Lincoln says
Agree, somehistory.
Texas should fire up “Old Sparky”.
somehistory says
While Abbott and Paxton are still in office, they could get their legislature to pass a law….it might not hold up….but then one never knows, does one?
Perhaps wording would get it past the numbskulls who messed with the LA law some years back to get it thrown out for ‘uncon” nonsense
Pray Hard says
Just more of the usual from a pedophile.
WPM says
What the hell what is a 80 year sentence with “supervised release” will they supervise his bones he is now 50 years old 80 plus 50 is 130 years old right? Even if he get it down to half he would be 90 yrs old ?Just put a 9mm bullet between his eyes and put the pervert down now it would cost what 70 cents for the bullet less then half the cost for a a cup of coffee in most fast food outlets ? In France he would get out in less then 8 years with a 15 year sentence for the same crime so I should not complain .
somehistory says
I don’t know about current law, but in the past in Texas, a person had to serve a certain percentage of a sentence…so like for 20 years, 12 might be enough for the perp to get paroled.
With an 80 year sentence, he won’t parole out.
William Kemmler says
>>”With an 80 year sentence, he won’t parole out.”
And you know this how, exactly? Unless the sentence was 80 years without the possibility of parole there’s always the chance he will be paroled and released well before he actually spends 80 years in prison. That is if he and his butt buddy pal actually survive for long in prison. Child abusers are the lowest of the low in the prison hierarchy and aren’t treated well by the general prison population.
somehistory says
What is obvious is, you can’t read with understanding. He’s not a child who could live for a certain percentage of 80 years and not be a very old creep.
He’ll have to do a certain number of years….a percentage of the full amount….before he is eligible.
On top of that, he’d have to admit his crime…..and he doesn’t believe he committed any.
I don’t expect you to grasp the facts. It’s more difficult than “see spot run.”
࿗Infidel࿘ says
In prison, just lace his food w/ fentanyl, and after he dies, cremate him and scatter his ashes somewhere in the Gulf of America
Tim gallagher says
How convenient for a degenerate to make the load of total bullshit that having sex with children get him closer to God. Actually I think this provides an insight into how this load of evil nonsense called Islam was made up. A bunch of extremely evil men made a bullshit version of god that condoned all the evil shit they wanted to do. Islam is totally evil and should be banned in all civilised societies.
Chevelle says
Tom, this was an online conversion ring. It does two things.
1. He starts slow and only wants to convert. If no adult or parent shows up and stops this then it Sinhala to him this one has nobody watching over her.
2. Then he moves on to step two, what they are really after.
Tim gallagher says
I’m glad the authorities nailed the two degenerate scumbags, Chevelle. I hope they have a hard time in prison. They deserve it.
OLD GUY says
And the left thinks they are defending the perfect man in islam. Islam is nothing but a male dominated sex ring, makes Epstein look like and amateur.
Tim gallagher says
Spot on, old guy, I can find absolutely nothing good in Islam. It was definitely made up by some of the most evil scum that ever polluted the world. It amazes me that so many people are fooled by it.
abu taleb says
His logic must be as Islamic paradise is a sex orgy place, then having sex orgy on earth is mimicking paradise so he will be closer to his allah. Islam is really the true religion for pedophiles, rapists, perverts and other disgusting sex criminals.
gravenimage says
Raping Infidels is always Halal for Muslims.
Joe1 says
In the Hadith, Muhammad did far worse sexual things to children than these guys did. He is their role model.
gravenimage says
Yep.
Billy says
Islam’s Muslim operate with impunity in a society with discrimination, rape, murder, violence, and terrorism regardless of the West’s Laws, and the Muslims do not stop unless they are stopped because they seek ultimate political power and government control. Islam uses deception and lies to promote Islam under Religious Rights and Protections, but they maneuver politically to gain more power and control. This is the truth face about Islam.
SUPREMACIST ISLAM IS ANTICHRIST, AHISTORICAL, DECEITFUL, MILITARISTIC, AND POLITICAL continuously against the USA Constitution and Western Laws to conquer and to subjugate Non-Muslims using MUSLIM-TERRORIST-CRIMINAL-GANG ENTERPRISES with ISLAMIC LAW(SHARIA) and with CONTINUOUS, TERROR PROPAGANDA from Islam’s Qur’an as evidenced by the continuous Muslim attacks to make Islam supreme(Qur’an 2:191; 3:28, 54; 4:89-91; 7:99; 8:30, 60; 9:5, 29,111; 16:106; 45:18; 47:4, etc.). Islam, an enemy of Non-Muslims, teaches, incites, and promotes murder, lies, deceit, accusations, and slander against Non-Muslims as taught in Islam’s Qur’an.
Deceitful Allah affirms Non-Muslims as enemies of Allah while Muslims continuously undermine a society from within using their man-made Qur’an with lies, obfuscation, and deceit(Qur’an 2:225; 3:54; 7:99; 8:30; 60:4, etc.). Allah in Qur’an 4:101 says, “…Surely the infidels[Non-Muslims] were your clear enemies.” Allah expects all Muslim believers to war against all non-Muslims until the Unbelievers convert to Islam or face Muslim violence. Corrupt Allah in Qur’an 8:39 says, “And engage in war with them[Non-Muslims] until there will not be sedition and the religion will be completely to Allah…” As a result, Non-Muslims are marked for death by Islam and its Muslims.
Worthless Islam is a civilization-destroying, delusional, indoctrinating, cancerous fraud because there is NO MECCA, NO MUHAMMAD, and NO Qur’an in the 7th century AD in Saudi Arabia despite the Muslim Standard Islamic Narrative claims; the Deceitful House of Islam is founded on propaganda, lies, intimidation, and deceit where Islam’s 1400-year traditions are based on fallacy and myth including a more than 300-year gap with no documented history. Hence, NEVER give money to Islamic Countries, Islamic Organizations, Mosques, Islamic Schools, etc. because your are funding your ultimate destruction. Islam must be banned as illegal, and we have the legal right to defend ourselves from Muslim violence.
Islam’s Muslims are to be Seditionist Terrorists for Allah with their MONEY and their LIVES. Allah in Qur’an 49:15 teaches, “Surely the believers[Muslims] are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed jihad with their MONEY and their LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.” Again, Islam is a FACTITIOUS IDEOLOGY and CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION despicably fabricated over time into the 21sth century, and there is NO PEACE only genocidal obliteration with Islam and its deceitful Muslims(Qur’an 7:18; 8:39: 9:5, 29, 111; 11:119; 32:13; 47:4, etc.).
Demonic ALLAH claims MUSLIMS are a greater TERROR than serpentine Allah in Islam’s Qur’an. Allah in Qur’an 59:13 says, “You[Muslims] are a greater terror in their chests than Allah. This is because they[Jews & Christians] are people who do not understand.” Allah in Qur’an 9:29 commands, “Engage in war with those who do not believe in Allah nor in the last day. Nor forbid what Allah and his messenger forbid, nor believe in the religion of the truth among those who have given the book until they pay the jizyah out of hand and they are subdued.”
Totalitarian Islam, its Mosques, its Schools, its Sharia Courts, its Organizations, etc. are Terrorist-Criminal Enterprises of hatred and enmity against all Non-Muslims as totalitarian Islam, the House of Satan, islamizes the society with impunity(Qur’an 2:225; 5:14, 64; 60:4; 9:5, 29, 111, etc.). As taught from Islam’s Qur’an, Islam should be banned for its incitement, funding, and promotion of hybrid warfare, violence, terrorism, criminality, hatred, human trafficking, and discrimination against women, children, and Non-Muslims.
Hateful Allah describes Muslim women in Jenna, Allah’s Paradise, as whores of Allah in Qur’an 56:37. Also, Allah stirs hatred, cursing, and punishment against Christians until the resurrection day as Qur’an 5:14 instructs, “And some of those who say, ‘Surely we are Nasara (Christians),’ we took their covenant. So they have forgotten a part of what they were reminded of, so we have stirred up ENMITY and HATRED among them until the resurrection day. And Allah will inform them of what they were doing.” See also Qur’an 2:225; 60:4; 8:55.

You “get closer to Allah” by raping children. God, I hate Islam.
