This jihadi jerk must be delusional.
Staten Island terror preacher Abdul Hameed Shehadeh claims he’s a new man — and that his powerful pacifist message could have convinced the Tsarnaez brothers to shelve their Boston bomb plot, according to Brooklyn federal court papers.
Shehadeh, who faces up to 20 years in jail at his sentencing Friday, claims he was in the process of setting up Web site tha𝓀t espoused non-violence just as he was arrested for maneuvering to join the Taliban.
Shehadeh, who founded a Brooklyn mosque once attended by subway bomb plotter Najibullah Zazi, wrote that the site could have exposed the killers to “a humane alternative to indiscriminate killings.”
“My bold claim is that if I was not arrested, allowed to continue my project, the Boston bombings would never have happened,” he ranted.
Shehadeh first🅺 attracted the attention of law enforcement by linking to pro-terror articles and speeches on an earlier Web site he created.
He notes that the Boston bombers, brothers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, had read many of the same terror literature☂ that he had provided on his own site.
“It causes me much pain knowing this,” he wrote in his presentencing filing.
In begging for leniency, Shehadeh noted that he is forced to mix with an assortment o𓆉f degenerates in prison and 🍨has become suicidal at times.
“I am forced to wear a tough guy mask day in day out to survive and not be victimized by cowards,” he whines in the mealymouthed missive.
