Premium Episode #34 - Khalil Rayyan
Added 2025-03-29 07:00:07 +0000 UTCIn late 2015, a young pizza delivery man named Khalil Abu Rayyan from Dearborn Heights, Michigan met and fell in love with a woman he met online. Jannah Bride had approached Khalil via the social media platform Twitter, and the two soon became close. Over the course of several months, Khalil would start admitting disturbing things to Jannah – fantasies he had about harming others. But nothing in the relationship was as it seemed…

2025-04-02 16:49:58 +0000 UTCThat's right - no INDIVIDUALS are above criticism (unless you are DJT it seems). Extending that to a race is the issue.

2025-03-29 21:29:00 +0000 UTCIf you genuinely think that white supremacy is just "advocating for people of European descent" and not a very real, very dangerous ideology, it baffles me what you make of this podcast, where actual white supremacists show up regularly.

2025-03-29 17:47:22 +0000 UTCYes, the honeypot method is not good, it is sort of like the police going about tempting people to break the law, and even encouraging them, only to step in after and arrest the people, going on to boast about getting their arrest rates up.

2025-03-29 16:33:29 +0000 UTCI don’t know who Andrew Tate is, but I will say that there are people who advocate for people of European descent (just as people of different ethnicities advocate for their people) yet get labeled as “White Supremacist”. I am sure we know of one certain group of people who state that they are “God’s chosen people” and have one name for themselves and another for the rest of the human race, now that is a supremacist ideology!

2025-03-29 16:28:49 +0000 UTCThe five dancing Israelis is an absolute fact, in fact when they got back to Israel, they were interviewed on Israeli television. You can still see these interviews. Another point that needs to be made is, NO people, regardless of their race, ethnicity, religious beliefs, or stories they tell about themselves, are above being questioned or criticised.

2025-03-29 16:16:27 +0000 UTCExcellent episode. I love Denmark's approach. Unfortunately ended up as another traumatized life in post 9/11 America but he's still alive, though forever changed. Liked the music as well, Andrew 👍🏻

2025-03-29 15:47:41 +0000 UTCIt is disturbing that so many want to like comments slamming "the Jews" and "the Palestinians", comments which extrapolate the actions of a few onto an entire race of people. Why does no one have "a few" or "some" in their vocabulary? Answer: Generalisation is easy; drilling down into specifics takes effort; and racism is the product of a lazy mind.
Bob Trenwith
2025-03-29 14:57:07 +0000 UTCIt’s still quite disturbing he was downloading and viewing beheadings and executions of people! Perhaps he was never a threat of becoming a terrorist himself but viewing that material isn’t normal and in my opinion warrants him being viewed suspiciously by law enforcement. However, I don’t support the honeypot method. I think continuing to monitor him would’ve been enough to determine whether or not he was a genuine threat. Just my opinion.

2025-03-29 14:11:34 +0000 UTCCasefile, thank you for doing this case -- you did an amazing job!! If you guys ever want to do a similar case, look into the bonkers entrapment case associated with the murder of Rachel Nickell in the UK. Her killer was ultimately revealed to be a serial killer, but not before investigators spent years trying to entrap her neighbor because he was introverted and kind of into wicca 🙃 they used a fake girlfriend to try to lure him into self-incrimination, too, caused him onslaughts of mental anguish over time--just awful stuff. That this "honeypot" strategy is legal anywhere boggles the mind, but it's especially infuriating that innocent young men like Khalil get this treatment while meanwhile millions of white men are being radicalized into dangerous extremism by people like Andrew Tate, a serial rapist, virulent misogynist, and antisemite, currently facing criminal charges for sex trafficking and assault, who our current president explicitly supports and recently allowed into the U.S. I'm not scared of young Muslim men just living their lives. I'm terrified of fascists like our current administration and the people they valorize like Andrew Tate.

2025-03-29 14:08:52 +0000 UTCThis conversation is going nowhere, and it's now hijacking this episode. My initial comment was in response to the bigot who commented first. I don't let antisemitism slide. But now it's time to put this to bed. Take care 🙃

2025-03-29 13:58:53 +0000 UTCSuper interesting that this is what the FBI uses its resources on. White supremacist violence? The klan? Nah. 🚫 This young man though? ✅

2025-03-29 13:56:53 +0000 UTCJust because you don't believe the evidence, doesn't mean it's not actual evidence lol

2025-03-29 13:55:45 +0000 UTCFive dancers is "his people"? Interesting. Now Netenyahu is happy to build casinos on Gaza. Sounds like celebrating to me.
Bob Trenwith
2025-03-29 13:55:16 +0000 UTCArafat voiced his "condolences" after 9/11. His people were another story.

2025-03-29 13:51:31 +0000 UTCAs for the specific claim about Palestinians celebrating, those images were manipulated and staged-- this is from Wikipedia: "Annette Krüger Spitta of the German public broadcaster ARD's TV magazine Panorama states that unaired footage shows the street surrounding the celebration in Jerusalem was quiet. Furthermore, she states that a man in a white T-shirt incited the children and gathered people together for the shot. The Panorama report, dated September 20, 2001, quotes Communications Professor Martin Löffelholz explaining that in the images one sees jubilant Palestinian children and several adults, but there is no indication that their pleasure is related to the attack. The woman seen cheering stated afterwards that she was offered cake if she celebrated on camera, and was frightened when she saw the pictures on television afterward." http://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/die-macht-der-tv-bilder-was-ist-die-wahrheit-a-158625.html http://daserste.ndr.de/panorama/archiv/2001/erste7528.html

2025-03-29 13:49:33 +0000 UTCSo nothing you shared says literally *anything* about the celebrating Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. And I never once mentioned any Muslims in New Jersey...I've never even heard of that before. I'm not denying there was ridiculous Islamophobia after 9/11. But that doesn't change facts. You know.... like how the Palestinians were recorded celebrating. Do you have any actual relative points to make?
Jaye Leppky
2025-03-29 13:44:27 +0000 UTCJL. There is no evidence that that video was even taken directly after 9/11. How about you include Yasser Arafat in your quotes.
Bob Trenwith
2025-03-29 13:35:47 +0000 UTCMillions of Muslims around the country and around the world mourned after 9/11 and the idea that most of them were celebrating was an islamophobic lie that has been completely and thoroughly debunked. http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/nov/22/donald-trump/fact-checking-trumps-claim-thousands-new-jersey-ch/ https://www.splcenter.org/resources/stories/islamophobia-after-911-how-fearmongering-fringe-movement-exploited-terror-attacks-gain/ https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2015/12/what-nj-muslims-were-actually-doing-on-911.html https://www.usatoday.com/in-depth/news/nation/2021/09/09/911-generation-muslim-american-voices-islamophobia-20th-anniversary/5783023001/

2025-03-29 13:28:27 +0000 UTCThere's a hundred sources I can post. At this point it doesn't matter that Fox is one of them. There's no doubt on the context. They were cheering about American deaths. There's no "blame to cast aspersions" when there's blatant evidence. 🤦🏻♀️
Jaye Leppky
2025-03-29 13:28:20 +0000 UTCLater reports throw serious doubts on the context of those 'celebrations'. Your attempt to blame to cast aspersions on another race is no different to the original comment. And ... Fox news ... seriously?

2025-03-29 13:18:23 +0000 UTChttps://www.foxnews.com/story/arafat-horrified-by-attacks-but-thousands-of-palestinians-celebrate-rest-of-world-outraged A group of Palestinians were filmed at Damascus Gate celebrating after they had heard local news reports of attacks on the World Trade Center and the deaths of thousands of Americans: https://youtu.be/UucjbGmJILk?si=TIWpkaeX21uhof_b Palestinian children celebrated in Jerusalem: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/1538664.stm I can find many more if your tiny brain needs it.
Jaye Leppky
2025-03-29 11:31:37 +0000 UTCIt wasn't Israelis dancing after 9/11, it was Palestinians celebrating, and handing out candy, you absolute turd. Nothing in this episode had to do with Israel or Jews. But leave it to the racist to try to twist it into something about Jews. If you want to be an antisemitic c*nt, at least get your facts straight.
Jaye Leppky
2025-03-29 11:15:29 +0000 UTCThe FBI setting people up, why doesn’t that surprise me? Interestingly, like many others, I have been looking into the material that has Just come out about the JFK assassination. Interesting things such as CIA chief James Angleton's close ties to Israeli intelligence. How JFK did not want Israel having nuclear weapons, and of course this very interesting quote made by a S. Echevarria: “ We now have plenty of money - our new backers are Jews - as soon as we' (or they) take care of Kennedy.". Then when it comes to the 9/11 attacks we all remember the five dancing Israelis. Looks like the issues brought to light in this episode of Casefile is yet another thing that might be part of something bigger.
