Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
A Virginia teenager will spend the next eleven years of his life in prison because he attempted to help Islamic terrorist group ISIS.
Ali Shukri Amin, 17, will also have a lifetime of probation and will have all of his online activity monitored for the rest of his life.
Amin had faced 15 years in prison. His lawyer argued that because he had cooperated with federal authorities and didn’t try to radicalize anyone but his friend Reza Niknejad that he should only get six years in prison.
Family members and friends, including two imams, were in the courtroom when Amin received his sentence.
In addition to attempting to radicalize a friend, Amin operated a Twitter account where he had 4,000 followers to his ISIS propaganda. He instructed people on how to make donations to ISIS via the computer currency Bitcoin.
Prosecutors called for the maximum sentence because of the “danger he will continue to pose to society” after his release.
