The following is only half true. The words of Ilhan Omar are satirical only, so don't sue me.
New York -- A Bangladeshi Muslim immigrant was sentence to life in the slammer last Thursday for attempting to carry out a "barbaric and heinous" plot to kill as many infidels as he could with a suicide bombing attack in New York City's subway below Time Square in 2017.
The wannabe jihadi, Akayed Ullah, 31, was sentenced in Manhattan federal court by Judge Richard J. Sullivan, who said Ullah had carried out “about as serious a crime as there is,” even though he was a screwup after the bomb attached to his chest fizzled like a gag candle on a birthday cake. It severely burned in but basically harmed no one around him except for one individual who lost 70 percent of his hearing.
“A life sentence is appropriate,” Sullivan said. “It was a truly barbaric and heinous crime.”
The judge told the would-be suicide bomber that life in prison was “less draconian than the sentence you were going to impose on yourself.”
Ullah, whose IQ and age are 31, spoke through a white mask over his black beard. His mom sat in the courtroom, tears in her eyes, as Ullah said he was sorry.

“Your honor, what I did on Dec. 11, it was wrong,” he said, hoping to change the judge's mind. “I can tell you from the bottom of my heart, I'm deeply sorry. ... I do not support harming innocent people.”
By innocent, what jihadis mean, are those who follow the path of Islam. All the rest of us are not considered innocent, so don't believe those words when they're spoken by someone who is willing to blow themselves up into little bitesize pieces to kill infidels.
Prosecutors had sought the life term for Ullah, saying the “premeditated and vicious” attack was committed on behalf of the Islamic State group.
But defense lawyer Amy Gallicchio said Ullah deserved no more than the mandatory 35 years in prison. She said he had “lived lawfully and peacefully” before the December 2017 attack that she blamed on a “personal crisis that left him isolated, depressed, vulnerable and suicidal.”
“He's not an evil man. He is not a monster,” she said.

Ilhan Omar concurs. "Just because he did something, that doesn't mean he isn't a good guy," Omar said. "The poor guy could be my brother--I mean husband. Don't put him away for life," Omar pleaded.
At trial, prosecutors showed jurors Ullah's post-arrest statements and social media comments, including when he taunted then-President Donald Trump on Facebook before the attack.
Ullah gained an entry visa in 2011 because he had an uncle who was already a U.S. citizen. Then-President Trump said allowing foreigners to follow relatives to the U.S. was “incompatible with national security.”

Trump was 100% correct.
