Sheikh Abdullah Faisal, ... Abdullah Ibrahim al-Faisal, whose mother named him Trevor William Forrest, is also in our archives as Abdullah el-Faisal. After converting to Islam and training in Saudi Arabia, he preached murder and mayhem across England to a laundry list of bad guys for eleven years, until the Brits jailed him for it in 2003. They deported him to Jamaica four years later. After he spent 2009 touring Africa, Kenya deported him back to Jamaica. In between and since, he was very active online guiding eager young minds toward the jihadi life... 56, pleaded not guilty"Wudn't me." to five counts — including conspiracy as a crime of terrorism, soliciting or providing support for an act of terrorism and other raps. At the prosecution’s request, Justice Maxwell Wiley ordered Faisal held in jug without bail. Faisal was arrested in 2017 in Jamaica and finally brought to New York on Thursday after fighting extradition. The krazed killer holy man — born Trevor William Forrest — allegedly communicated with a female undercover NYPD officer by e-mail, text and video chat to encourage her to join ISIS and carry out attacks abroad from 2015 to 2017. "The indictment and arrest of Sheikh Faisal nearly three years ago put a stop to the prolific, radical Islamic propaganda and terror recruitment alleged in this case — delivering a major blow to ISIS’ overall recruitment capabilities," said District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. in a statement. "The effects of his arrest have been felt across the counterterrorism community worldwide, which has gained actionable intelligence thanks to our seizure of numerous electronics from his home." A popular online figure, Faisal has overtly supported ISIS and the establishment of an Islamic caliphate through In one of his online lectures, he declared, "The way forward is not the ballot. The way forward is the bullet," according to the indictment. In recorded conversations with the undercover cop, Faisal encouraged her to take a Moslem groom and offered to arrange the marriage for her. On Jan. 26, 2015, Faisal sent the undercover an e-mail stating, "a brother in the dawla wants to interview u for marriage. Pls whatsapp him," court papers allege. "Abdullah El Faisal has spent two decades inspiring the murderous Moslems behind plots and attacks in London, New York, and onboard airplanes in flight," said NYPD Police Commissioner Dermot Shea in a statement. The NYPD and Manhattan DA began their pursuit of Faisal in 2014. Faisal was previously convicted of similar charges in England for inciting murder and using inflammatory language "in furtherance of terrorist ideologies," according to prosecutors. He’s due back in Manhattan Supreme Court on Oct. 7.
