Is The Jihadi Who Went Viral In A Video Stating “Soon You’re Gonna Know Who I Am” The Head Of The Islamic Party Of Azerbaijan?

Earlier in the week, I played a short video by 1st Responders Media in which an Islamists crossed the border illegally and when asked where he was from, responded very smug that the reporter was “not smart enough” to know who he is, but that he would soon know who he is.  Now, it appears that we have indeed discovered that the man appears to be none other than Movsum Samadov, the head of the Islamic Party of Azerbaijan, who served 12 years in prison for Islamic terrorism and was released in January 2023.

Here are a few tweets paralleling images of this man.

The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom reports on the nature of Savadov’s charges that led to his imprisonment as “Arms Trafficking & Illicit Use of Weapons Criminal Premeditation & Conspiracy Terrorism Treason & Sedition Unlawful Disobedience.”

Movsum Samadov was imprisoned for criticizing religious freedom conditions and for his political activity.

On January 7, 2011, authorities arrested Samadov, head of the Islamic Party of Azerbaijan, following a traffic stop.  He was initially charged with failing to comply to a lawful order by a police officer (Art. 310.1 CAO); however, the arrest followed a high-profile speech Samadov made days before on January 2, 2011, in which he denounced President Ilham Aliyev over the ban on wearing religious headscarves in schools and other issues facing the country.  The same day Samadov was arrested, the Narimanov District Court sentenced him to 13 days in administrative detention.  During this process, Samadov was reportedly unable to hire a lawyer of his own choosing.

On January 20, 2011, the final day of his administrative detention, Samadov was charged with “preparing a crime” (Art. 28 ACC), “preparing terrorism committed on preliminary arrangement by group of persons, by organized group or criminal community (criminal organization)” (Art. 214.2.1 ACC), “preparing terrorism committed with application of fire-arms or subjects used as a weapon” (Art. 214.2.3 ACC), “illegally purchasing, transferring, selling, storing, transporting, and carrying firearms, accessories, supplies, and explosives committed by organized group” (Art. 228.3 ACC), and “actions directed on violent capture power or violent deduction power” (Art. 278 ACC).

On October 7, 2011, the Baku Grave Crimes Court sentenced Samadov to 12 years in prison.

In March 2017, Samadov was reportedly placed in a punishment cell for five days for praying in prison.

On January 19, 2023, Samadov was released after completing his sentence.

On January 24, 2024, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) published an interview with Samadov on the first anniversary of his release from prison. Samadov spoke about the current state of religious freedom in Azerbaijan, his time in prison, and how he is not allowed to leave the country.

And it looks like within months, he is standing on US soil issuing a veiled threat to the reporter and the People of the US.  Me thinks our forefathers would have met him with a tree and a rope instead of welcoming him with goodies.
