I don’t hate Jews, I had nothing to do with this: Tearful terror suspect pleads his innocence

Daily Mail ^ | 5/15/11 | Staff

One of the terror suspects arrested for allegedly planning to attack New York synagogues dressed as a Hasidic Jew has pleaded his innocence in a tearful interview.

20-year-old Mohamed Mamdouh, who was caught on Tuesday in a dramatic police sting operation, said he ‘had nothing to do with’ the synagogue slaughter plot.

Speaking from prison on Rikers Island, the taxi dispatcher blamed his 27-year-old friend Ahmed Ferhani for talk of the planned killing spree.

‘I was at the wrong place at the wrong time,’ he told a U.S. newspaper. ‘I don't have problems with anyone - not Jews, not anyone.’

Mamdouh was arrested on Wednesday, along with suspected plot ringleader Ahmed Ferhani. They men are charged with terrorism and hate crimes.

Ferhani ‘was the one who was talking about all the weapons and everything else’, Mamdouh told the Daily News.

I never spoke about guns and blowing things up, either.

‘That was him. It was all his idea. I had nothing to do with any of it.’

Mamdouh said he and Ferhani were acquaintances, not real friends, who occasionally hung out and drank.

Ferhani ‘has anger issues’, said Mamdouh, who met his co-defendant in 2009. ‘He gets mad and says things.’

Mamdouh said he and Ferhani were acquaintances, not real friends, who occasionally hung out and drank.

I thought muslims didn’t drink. What a bunch of worthless demented morons. Why do they keep coming to America?

[mnehring]

hmmmm, I am curious what is on the tapes. It seems that it will either support what he is saying or damn him.

[mountainlion]

Why do they keep coming to America?

So they can drink and see naked women like OBL did.

[Rytas]

Taqqiya.

[ilovesarah2012]

The world would be a much better place without muslims.

It wouldn’t be too surprising if this is all that’s needed to persuade our justice dept to claim he’s an innocent victim.

‘That was him. It was all his idea. I had nothing to do with any of it.’

Yet, he did nothing to discourage his acquaintance from the deed or report it. That's strike one and two. And the final you're out strike three is that he was out in a bar drinking.

[Graybeard58]

OK, he says he doesn't "hate" Jews, so just try him for the terrorism part.

They men are charged with terrorism and hate crimes.

"Hate" is an emotion and shouldn't be part of criminal charges.

>"I was at the wrong place at the wrong time,’

That would be any time at a mosque, or reading the queeranus!

These types of people need to be shot and then deported. They will NEVER contribute anything positive to this country and will, if given the opportunity, continue terrorizing innocent people and ultimately killing them. They do not belong here, and we have enough home-grown crooks that can already keep our prisons full.

[Gumption]

“Neighbours of Ferhani doubted he was capable of such an act, and described the pair as ‘knuckleheads’.”

And all the really successful terrorists are practically brain surgeons. Dope.

"These types of people need to be shot and then deported."

I hate to say this, but that's really a dumb sentence. If they are shot, you bury them; you don't deport them. Think before you type, k?

[Enten]

Why do they keep coming to America? That’s easy to answer...because our “betters” in government encourage their immigration and allows it. And when they arrive, on the dole they go.

[pnh102]

If they are shot, you bury them; you don't deport them. Think before you type, k?

Why should we bury foreign waste in our country? Besides, if there are other people in these crooks' home countries, perhaps seeing what happened to their miscreant brethren would make them think twice about coming here.

These types of people need to be shot and then deported.

This poster may have meant this literally; i.e., We shot Bin Laden and "deported him" to the bottom of the Arabian Sea.

Dressed as a Hasidic Jew....... Ya he didn’t know what he was doing.

Jake: It's good to see you, sweetheart.
Mystery Woman: You contemptible pig! I remained celibate for you. I stood at the back of a cathedral, waiting, in celibacy, for you, with three hundred friends and relatives in attendance. My uncle hired the best Romanian caterers in the state. To obtain the seven limousines for the wedding party, my father used up his last favor with Mad Pete Trullo. So for me, for my mother, my grandmother, my father, my uncle, and for the common good, I must now kill you, and your brother.
[Jake falls to his knees]
Jake: Oh, please, don't kill us! Please, please don't kill us! You know I love you baby. I wouldn't leave ya. It wasn't my fault! Mystery Woman: You miserable slug! You think you can talk your way out of this? You betrayed me. Jake: No, I didn't. Honest... I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts! IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!
[Elwood covers his head in anticipation of more gunfire, Jake removes his sunglasses to make a wordless appeal, and the Mystery Woman visibly softens]
Mystery Woman: Oh, Jake... Jake, honey...
[Jake embraces the Mystery Woman and they kiss]
Jake: [to Elwood] Let's go.
[He drops the Mystery Woman and walks off]
Elwood: [to the Mystery Woman as he steps past her] Take it easy.
