Why should he have shown any remorse? He had just murdered Infidels in obedience to his bloodthirsty god who commanded him to “kill them wherever you find them” (cf. Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, 9:5). “Prosecutors: Marathon bomber showed ‘opposite of remorse,’” by Denise Lavoie, Associated Press, January 27, 2016 Updated: January 27, 2016: BOSTON (AP) — […]
Boston Marathon jihad murderer wants a new trial
He admitted his guilt. He explained that he set off the bombs to “defend Islam.” There is an abundance of evidence tying him to the crime. This is simply an attempt to tie up the Infidel’s resources in useless court proceedings — weakening him and rendering him less capable to stop other jihad plots. “Lawyers […]
Boston Marathon jihad murderer files motion for new trial
He confessed to the crime. He was convicted. Why is he asking for a new trial? Has he lost his faith in the idea that Allah will reward him for his jihad, and is hoping to avoid the death penalty? Or is he hoping to tie up more of the Infidel’s time and resources in […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s Insincere Apology
How can a jihadi repent for his jihad? My latest in FrontPage: “Tsarnaev apologizes for Boston Marathon bombing,” trumpeted the Boston Globe Wednesday, and certainly the young jihad murderer talked a good game: “I would like to apologize to the victims and the survivors,” he said. “I am sorry for the lives I have taken, […]
Boston Marathon jihad murderer: “I am Muslim. My religion is Islam.”
He apologized to the victims and the survivors, which was an odd thing for him to do if he believed that he was serving Allah in his jihad attack. His apology may, of course, have been a ploy to stave off the death sentence. “Tsarnaev apologizes for Boston Marathon bombing,” by Patricia Wen, Kevin Cullen, […]
Boston Marathon jihad mass murderer gets death penalty
He gave the death penalty to eight-year-old Martin Richard and the others he killed. None of them had “provoked” him. This is richly deserved. Many of his co-religionists, meanwhile, are plotting now to give the death penalty to a great many more Americans. “Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Gets Death Penalty in Boston Marathon Bombing,” by Katharine Q. […]
Boston Marathon jihad murderer’s mother-in-law: Islam was his “obsession”
Not that the bombings had anything to do with Islam. This kind of testimony shows up the mainstream view of the political and media elites for what it is: a cynical and duplicitous attempt to keep Americans ignorant and complacent about the nature and magnitude of the threat posed by the global jihad. “Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s […]
Robert Spencer in FP: Why would anyone expect Tsarnaev to be repentant?
In FrontPage I discuss why no one should be surprised that Boston Marathon jihad mass murderer Dzhokhar Tsarnaev shows no remorse: As prosecutors argued Wednesday that Boston Marathon jihad mass murderer Dzhokhar Tsarnaev should get the death penalty, they released a video of the young jihadi three months after his attack, looking into the security […]
Boston Marathon jihadi’s mom: US “WILL PAY FOR MY SONS AND THE SONS OF ISLAM”
Not that this has anything to do with Islam. More on this story. “Boston Bomber’s Mother: My Son Is In ‘The Claws Of A Predator,’” Vocativ, April 9, 2015: The mother of Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev sent an angry diatribe against Americans to Vocativ after her son was found guilty on all charges in his […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Boston Marathon jihadi shows wrongheadedness of Obama’s counterterror strategy
In FrontPage today is my take on the Boston Marathon jihad massacre verdict: The guilty verdict came as no surprise to anyone, least of all Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s defense attorney, Judy Clarke, who told the court last month, “It was him.” Tsarnaev could now face the death penalty, and it would be richly deserved, given the […]
