Forty-five-year-old Yousef Mohamid al-Khattab of Atlantic City started the Revolution Muslim website in 2007 with partner Jesse Curtis Morton.
Al-Khattab, who converted from Judaism and was previously known as Joseph Cohen, is the third person connected with Revolution Muslim to be convicted in federal court in Alexandria. Morton and another man, Zachary Chesser, admitted using the site to deliver thinly veiled threats against the creators of the “South Park” television show for perceived insults to the prophet Muhammad.
Al-Khattab’s guilty plea, announced Thursday, does not mention the “South Park” threats. In court documents, al-Khattab admits encouraging readers to “deal with” Jewish leaders or take other actions.
Unbelievable! He’s a Kohen & he converted!! How absolutely horrible for anyone to convert, to Islam especially & even more so as a Kohen!!
‘Toit Meshugah’ !
Is this guy a mental case or did he rebel out of some weird stamar neturi karta philospohy against the medina?
Wow! This guy makes neturai karta look good !!
Once a religious radical always a religious radical. All he did was shave his mustache and put on a shluf kappal.
a file on this bozo is in existance at yad lachim
how sad
This guy is mentally ill sick .
Oy Vey, although no mention that this guy was a convert to Judism as well.
where’s he from – does anyone reconize him
Was/Is he married? To a frum Jewish woman? Kids? Parents? Siblings? Nebach on them all. What a sick creep he must be.
No words…. just nauseating…..
Nice guy I guess. He will probably be stomping on matzo balls to be a better friend of his own lie.
He’s a undercover chassidisher spy. Leave him alone.
There was a “ger” in Lakewood many years ago who regretted the fact that he became a jew, as such he spent many years looking for a “heter” to undo his geirus. as he told me he knows once you become a jew its not simple to undo it but as he explained to me he was looking for a lenient rabbi that would hear his side of the story that he never really wanted to become a jew as such he really never became a jew and therefore it shouldn’t be a problem to undo it..
His best line to me though was when he met me sometime later and excitedly told me that he may have found a heter to convert back to a “goy” and therefore I should be in touch with him about his many seforim because “I plan to donate all my seforim to the shul/kollel in Deal NJ, bli neder”……. I kid you not!
omg!!! speechless. this is just beyond terrible!!!
If my recollection works well the name rings a bell. He was originally a convert to Judaism, and then converted to Islam.
I know who this guy is. He was a sefardi of Moroccan descent. When he became a ba’al teshuva in his late teens, he joined Lubavitch and then got bored of them. Then he went to Satmar where he got married a sefardi girl from a broken home. At some point they made Aliyah. A couple of yrs later he became a “settler” on a yishuv in the “West Bank”. During that time he began to spend a lot of money, going into debt and not feeding his family. He also became addicted to the internet and began corresponding with Muslims in Islamic forums. He eventually converted, moved his family to an Arab village. As they say, “the rest is history”. From that point forward he moved his family a number of times, always having them under watch to make sure lev l’achim won’t come for them. There was a point even when he was in ny with his eldest son working as a pedicab driver, leaving his wife and children behind in a Muslim country. At this point the wife is refusing to leave and return to yiddishkeit. No one is sure if she has now become brainwashed or too scared.
Reb Nachman said — ut a malach ut a galach-
When goyim convert to Judaism rabbis celebrate and exalt these “truth” seekers who find light in Torah. When Orthodox Jews convert to other religions, they are branded as “mentally ill.” All in all, comedy.
Looking at the photo of this meshumad, with his once black hat and peyos, I know he wasn’t Lubavitch. What Hasidic sect did he come from? Satmar, Bobov, Munkatch, Belzer?
Its amazing how some hating Jews will try to tie Chabad into everything, especially when Chabad has zero to do with that issue.
You saw something on a website, and so now you think you know Tanya? Your ignorance is now better than the medevial peoples who believe that Jews kill Christians for blood. Learn tanya and then go talk about tanya.
For the record, Chabad actually their children to have respect for non-Jews. Recently NY Times magazine had a story where a guy wanted to get a Jew to hug a non-Jew in a photo, with no luck until he came to Crown Heights and the first person he asked hugged and African American.
Get over your issues with chabad, get therapy. I hear Shofar in New Jersey provides therapy for troubled people.
