Abdullah El-Faisal, supporter of ISIS

Abdullah el-Faisal, is a journalist of Jamaican origin, staunch supporter of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS). He was the first person to be tried under terrorism laws in New York state after 9/11.

The terrorist incited Muslims to take extremist positions, supporting the killing of non-believers. That was why in 2003 he was arrested in Great Britain.

In 2010 he was expelled from Kenya for becoming an open supporter of the so-called Islamic State.

Yesterday in New York he was convicted of supporting terrorism, of subverting the democratic order and of violence for the purpose of terrorism.

During the trial that took more than two-months in Manhattan State Supreme Court, prosecutors charged Faisal with supporting ISIS between 2014 and 2017, building a jihadist-type organized structure and spreading propaganda aimed at indiscriminately intimidating the population.

The terrorist followed a "theology" of death represented by fighters waving the black flag of ISIS and carrying out horrendous murders, kidnappings and devastation in Iraq and Syria.
