(Dallas Morning News) Said Azzam Mohamad Rahim led a double life.
The 42-year-old Richardson man lived quietly and ran an Oak Cliff convenience store, seemingly blending into ordinary American existence.
At the same time, he raged obsessively against “infidels” and other enemies of the Islamic State online and used the social media chat group he moderated to call for their slaughter at home and abroad, by any means.
“Every single day, all they talk about is killing people,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Errin Martin told jurors Friday morning during closing arguments in Rahim’s trial. “All they promote is hate. All they promote is murder.”
