“We’re commanded to terrorize the disbelievers,” Morton told Griffin. “The Quran says very clearly in the Arabic language … this means ‘terrorize them.’ It’s a command from Allah.”
How is it that a devout Muslim who was sentenced in 2012 to more than 12 years in prison for making multiple death threats, recruiting for jihad, and plotting to kill the South Park creators, is not only free but has been hired as a university expert by George Washington University?
No, this is not The Onion.

First, let me point out that my colleagues and I are blacklisted from college campuses. Nonie Darwish has had every university talk canceled on her. Robert Spencer, Wafa Sultan and I have not been invited to speak in years.
Younus Abdullah Muhammad, nee Jesse Morton, founded “Revolution Muslim” in 2008, along with his partner Yousef Mohamid Al-Khattab. Atlas readers are long familiar with this vicious cretin. Al-Khattab repeatedly threatened me as well. Back in 2008, he began posting threatening snuff-like death threat videos at a Pamela Geller hate site (below).

This is who George Washington University hired as an expert. Saudi multimillion dollar donations to university at work.
We’ve been calling for their arrest for years, and noting the very real and personal connections the group has with terrorists. Some of these connections are listed below. For instance, the personal relationship that Younes had with Samir Khan, the now dead al Qaeda propagandist. Samir, Younes, and Yousef were personal friends, not just online buddies.(Jawa)
Academia is worse than finished. The whole of it will have to be destroyed and rebuilt if we are to save our nation.
From the FBI indictment:
Jesse Curtis Morton, aka Younus Abdullah Muhammed, 33, of New York City, pleaded guilty today to using his position as a leader of Revolution Muslim Organization’s Internet sites to conspire to solicit murder, make threatening communications, and use the Internet to place others in fear.
“Jesse Morton operated Revolution Muslim to radicalize those who saw and heard his materials online and to incite them to engage in violence against those they believed to be enemies of Islam,” said U.S. Attorney MacBride. “We may never know all of those who were inspired to engage in terrorism because of Revolution Muslim, but the string of recent terrorism cases with ties to Morton’s organization demonstrates the threat it posed to our national security. We’re grateful to the FBI, NYPD, and their law enforcement partners throughout the world who made today’s conviction possible.”
“Individuals such as Morton who encourage violence and create fear over the Internet are a danger to our society and to the freedoms we enjoy as citizens,” said Assistant Director in Charge McJunkin. “Today’s plea, and other recent cases of those associated with Morton’s organization, demonstrate the widespread nature of this danger. Together with our partner law enforcement agencies, and with the assistance of the community, the FBI will continue to pursue those who promulgate violent extremism and promote the radicalization of others.”
This was one of the FBI’s big gets in 2012. Go here.
Here are some of the top terror cases of 2012…
‘Revolution’ leader sentenced: A New York City resident was sentenced in June to more than 11 years in prison for using his position as a leader of the Revolution Muslim organization to promote violent extremism online against those he believed to be enemies of Islam.
Flashback:
Younus Abdullah Muhammad, aka Jesse Curtis Morton– (NY Daily News-June 22, 2012) A
Muslim convert from Brooklyn was sentenced Friday to nearly 12 years in prison for posting online threats against the creators of the “South Park” television show and others he deemed enemies of Islam.
Morton (33 yrs old) founded the now-defunct Revolution Muslim website. [9:03]
Morton’s site inspired a variety of would-be jihadis, including “Jihad Jane” Colleen LaRose; Antonio Benjamin Martinez, who plotted to bomb a military recruiting station; and Jose Pimental, who plotted to assassinate members of the U.S. military returning from Afghanistan and Iraq. He also corresponded with American al-Qaida member Samir Khan on writing an article for use as al-Qaida propaganda.
Morton’s prosecution was relatively novel under a law enacted in recent years that makes it a federal crime to use the Internet to place another person in fear of death or serious injury. Morton was arrested last year in Morocco, where he moved after Chesser’s arrest.
Morton and Zachary Chesser used the Revolution Muslim website to deliver thinly veiled threats against the creators of the “South Park” television show for perceived insults to the prophet Muhammad, by depicting him in a bear costume. (Chesser earlier received a 25-year sentence, but he also tried to travel to Somalia to join the al-Shabab terrorist group.)
George Washington University’s new hire, and CNN loves it.
“From terrorist to university expert: GW hires former Islamic extremist,” By Elizabeth Cohen, Senior Medical Correspondent, CNN, August 30, 2016:
George Washington University has hired a former Islamic extremist to work at its center on homeland security — a man who once denounced the United States and made threats against the creators of the TV series “South Park” for depicting the Prophet Muhammad in a bear suit.
While reformed extremists have worked at universities in Europe to help fight terrorism, this is believed to be a first in the United States.
Jesse Morton, who was known as Younus Abdullah Muhammad when he was a recruiter for the al-Qaeda, brings a “unique perspective” to counter-terrorism work, said Seamus Hughes, deputy director of the Program on Extremism at George Washington University’s Center for Cyber & Homeland Security.
“We haven’t figured out how to reach that individual who’s going down the path of radicalization,” Hughes said. “Jesse has been in that world and got out of that world.”
During his days as an extremist, Morton earned a master’s degree in international affairs from Columbia University.
Hughes said before making the hiring decision, he discussed Morton with the FBI, leaders in the security community and the lawyers that prosecuted Morton.
He said he’s sure Morton is completely reformed from the days he served time in federal prison after inciting people to join a terrorist organization.
“I trust him,” he said. “We did our due diligence.”
Nadia Oweidat, a fellow at the think tank New America who’s interviewed dozens of former extremists, said she doesn’t doubt Morton’s sincerity.
“People go through phases. They evolve and are finally able to see the light,” she said.
She doesn’t think Morton made up his de-radicalization to get a shorter prison sentence.He became one of the group’s chief propagandists and recruiters.
“It gave me an outlet to have meaning, to have purpose, but it also gave me an outlet to express my rage and my frustration,” he said.
Morton and another extremist founded “Revolution Muslim” in 2008. In 2009 the pair praised Nadal Hasan for his attack at Fort Hood, Texas, which left 13 people dead and 32 others wounded.
They called Hassan “an officer and a gentleman.”
“We’re commanded to terrorize the disbelievers,” Morton told CNN’s Drew Griffin that year. “Americans will always be a target and a legitimate target until America changes its nature in the international arena.”
But during a trip to Morocco, Morton’s ideology slowly and subtly started to change as he met young secular Muslims.
“They were bright, they were articulate,” he said. “What they really wanted, at the end of the day, was what we have: freedom.”
But it was too late — Morton couldn’t escape his extremist past.

In a way this can be turned around, the more that islam advertises its ugly violent side, the more people know about it, the more it will be reviled and ridiculed. The lame stream media will not say anything, the real news will.

Thank god for ridicule as legal protest. The islamists hate cartoons about them because deep down in many cases they know or sense the score (or at least many of the imams and leaders do). These know too that the mob has to be jump started often to keep the delusion hanging on. After all, how many times a day can one pray to some nonsense purported to be given in suras and verses to an illiterate desert dweller by an angel telling it all in arabic and updated by hadiths ages ago and make it all make sense in its huge conglomeration of bipolar insanity especially when so many who follow the supposed way lead lives of intense misery. That hate from temporary awareness (nanoseconds) has to be channeled fairly intensely and quickly when challenged by a little satire to keep them on the right path of faith such as with a beheading, a bombing, a crucifixion, a goat rape, and so on. However, with time and persistence perhaps ridicule will force the mob to have longer and longer periods of awareness to the point where the islamists will finally see what chumps they have been and tell allah where to go.

Ridicule, mocking and laughing at the absurdity of islam will do more damage than any armed struggle. No matter how big and tough the muhadajeen is, when his fly is open and he has a trail of toilet paper behind him, he looks like a fool. The funny part is that a muhadajeen would know what toilet paper is.

You people are so cynical. If Seamus Hughes is “sure Morton is completely reformed from the days he served time in federal prison after inciting people to join a terrorist organization,” isn’t that enough for you?

There are a lot of questions which could be asked like, what made him decide to value the work of Western philosophers over the teachings of the Koran? Assuming that Islam has something to do with Islamic terrorism, or does he believe his radicalization had nothing to do with Islam?

“He said he’s sure Morton is completely reformed”
– If he so sure, he has offer a way to make himself accountable. Words are not enough. That means immediate dismissal from his position and denial of all accrued pension benefits, should his hire revert to terrorism.
– This is the problem with these people. There is no accountability for their actions. We are simply supposed to accept them at their word.
– If an engineer designs a building and it collapses, he will get sent to prison. No such accountability exists for social engineers.
– The NYT has a story on the appointment as well: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/30/us/al-qaeda-islamic-state-jihad-fbi.html?_r=0

How about attaching a monitor to the ‘reformed” terrorist that can’t be removed that holds a bomb that can be detonated by authorities for undesirable behavior. It shouldn’t be too bad since after all bombing was something he used to like. It might actually be comforting to him in a sort of islamist way.

The Obama Genocide: Thousands of Yazidis, Iraqis Slaughtered by ISIS as Obama Partied
Jim Hoft / Aug 30th, 2016 / 9:55 am
In 2014 Barack Obama partied with African dictators while old women and children were dying from thirst on Sinjar Mountain.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ruWiHVlg6U
Not all of them escaped.
ISIS slaughtered hundreds, possibly thousands, of Yazidis on Sinjar Mountain. Between 5,000 to 15,000 innocents were murdered and buried in at least 72 mass graves in Iraq.
http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/08/obama-genocide-tens-thousands-yazidis-slaughtered-isis-obama-partied/
———-
The AP reported:
HARDAN, Iraq (AP) — Surrounded by smoke and flames, the sound of gunshots echoing around him, the young man crouched in the creek for hours, listening to the men in his family die.
On the other side of the mountain, another survivor peered through binoculars as the handcuffed men of neighboring villages were shot and then buried by a waiting bulldozer. For six days he watched as the extremists filled one grave after another with his friends and relatives.
Between them, the two scenes of horror on Sinjar mountain contain six burial sites and the bodies of more than 100 people, just a small fraction of the mass graves Islamic State extremists have scattered across Iraq and Syria.

It is now starkly evident that that until and unless shadowy and sophisticated patriot vigilante groups – commandos of a sort – form in the U.S. and begin ‘eliminating’ both these criminal Muslims who are being released back into civil society to continue their subversive and criminal Islamic activities AND those behind their release and activities, decent lovers of freedom will continue to loose this battle. Regardless of what the Mafiosi became over time, its initial noble goal was to rid Sicily of foreign forces from their land. In that regard it was successful, but then turned to crime.
America now needs a form of Mafiosi, so that suddenly headlines carry peculiar stories of individuals with Hillary and Obama links having been pre-maturely sent to meet their maker with an unattractive hole in the head. Some Americans seem to imagine that the fight against Hillary, a liar and crook, and Islam can be won by applying ‘Queensbury Rules’ – while their opponents engage in any violent and criminal activity they choose. It’s not going to work, the distinct advantage to the criminal elements, so terror needs to be sown in the hearts and minds and those behind their activities.

The universities are as you say. I have had a lot of university schooling but i somehow avoided becoming a leftist. There’s a certain amount of keeping a low profile in order to get your degree so I advise people to pick some useful profession, go for it, and get out. Teachers i remember were always pushing the leftist version of diversity in courses. The fifth column is definitely operating I believe and often indirectly as dumb down “open mindedness” designed in part to promote peer conformity enforced by the leftist hierarchy.

The membership names are not necessary. You can see how its all happening to verify that it is secret collusion of leadership and power controllers. There are many who suggest it is associations with the worship of evil. The reason it appears conspiratorial is the hidden nature of the activities. That works to facilitate getting people to cooperate with their own demise.

You make a good point. I’m thinking more that names are not necessary only from a point of view that if we don’t know all of them we can still maybe figure out who might be involved or what is happening from being more aware. The next thing is what if anything can we do. I think it starts with ourselves. Blogs are one way for awareness to spread but the comments vary and evidence is often hidden. Then people may reply to this topic its “conspiracy thinking” and then “what can you do about it”. I think at least blog and vote as starters. Voting may even be more important at the local and state levels.
On this topic I read this am a good link regarding likely soros involvement – https://secure.piryx.com/donate/MCifZavB/David-Horowitz/0314-dhfc-090116-video – about BLM (don’t ask me for my other names I have for them) but its more about exposing things they do that can be linked to the leftist agenda that we can possibly change. BTW i think everybody and their mother seems to be looking for donations these days too so I’m not sending it to you to try to get you to donate to the site. Its just a good video!

I have a theory about Obama. During the two conflicts with Iraq, Freedom and Storm. You had media reporters risking their lives, to keep us all informed. But you will note that you don’t see any of that with the war in Syria, Iraq or Afghanistan today. Obama made sure that those brave Journalist that in the beginning, that were trying to cover the sins of ISIS, were deterred by all the kidnappings and beheading of journalists. So if one who is sympathetic to the cause of the Islamic Quran and it’s followers, wants to hide their sin of “support” and the “creation” of ISIS. What better way to do so than, suppressing most of ISIS activities?

Its definitely suspicious more and more for a fifth column or worse is operating within the United States and apparently condoned by the current administration. Others have said as much but its increasingly orwellian as more and more things happen like this as if they were some fictional story. It all has an element of cognitive dissonance such that some guy jailed 12 years for terrorism suddenly is employed as a counter terrorism expert at a university.
According to a 2014 report by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, of the 620 detainees (terrorists) transferred out of Guantanamo, 107 have been “confirmed of re-engaging,” and 77 are “suspected of re-engaging” in terrorism. That’s a 30% risk for students and faculty of that university for facing future danger!

If the guy is still a Muslim then you have a point. However, I think he has abandoned Islam. I could be wrong. Remember David Horowitz was once on the opposite political spectrum. Also, Saul in the bible had a change of heart.
