Florida: America's Jihad Playground
Patriot Post ^ | 6/15/16 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 06/15/2016 9:47:23 PM PDT by Impala64ssa

The home of the “Happiest Place on Earth” has been breeding killer jihadists and Muslim zealots for years.

Omar Mateen, the cold-blooded mass murderer who gunned down 49 people at an Orlando gay nightclub and wounded 53 more before police took him out late Sunday, may have worked alone. But he operated in the larger context of a teeming, terror-coddling paradise.

While tourists from around the world soak up sunshine and dreams at Disney World, Islamic extremism festers around them.

Schools: The Muslim Students Association, founded by the radical Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood whose stated purpose is to wage “grand jihad” on America, is active at the publicly funded University of Central Florida in Orlando. The group defiantly brought un-indicted terror co-conspirator Siraj Wahhaj to campus. He’s the black Muslim convert and inflammatory imam tied by federal prosecutors to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and New York City landmarks bombing plots.

Wahhaj served as a character witness for convicted terror mastermind Omar Abdel Rahman (the Blind Sheik), called for replacement of America’s “constitutional government with a caliphate” and roots for our nation to “crumble” so Muslims can take over. UCF funded a Muslims “da'wa” (conversion) seminar and with an endowment by the Saudi-supported International Institute of Islamic Thought sought to create an Islamic Studies chair to “help the Ummah regain its intellectual and cultural identity and re-affirm its presence as a dynamic civilization.”

The IIIT, also a Muslim Brotherhood affiliate, donated at least $50,000 to a “think tank” run by Sami al-Arian that served as a front group for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. While al-Arian, a Muslim Brotherhood member dating back to the 1980s, served as a computer science professor at Tampa’s University of South Florida, he toured the country raising money for terrorism overseas. Investigative reporters and the feds caught al-Arian on tape inciting his attendees against, America, Israel “and their allies until death.” The left-wing academic pleaded guilty to a terror-fundraising conspiracy charge in 2006.

Al-Arian brought Palestinian-born Ramadan Shalah to teach at USF and head his “think tank” for a spell. Shalah left the school in 1995 and resurfaced as head of Syria’s Islamic Jihad. He remains one of the FBI’s most wanted indicted terrorist fugitives.

Apologist officials at USF, first exposed by counter-jihad researcher Steve Emerson as America’s “Jihad U,” turned a blind eye to the terror helpers among them.

Mosques: Mateen’s homicidal hatred for gays didn’t exist in a vacuum. Mateen’s neighborhood mosque in nearby Fort Pierce, Florida, was also the house of worship of Moner Abu-Salha, an American jihad recruiter and suicide bomber who blew himself up in Syria last year. The Palm Beach Post reported this week that Abu-Salha had posted videos of an imam’s death-to-gays rant on Facebook.

Marcus Dwayne Robertson (a.k.a. Abu Taubah), a former U.S. Marine turned career criminal and bodyguard to the Blind Sheik, headed another mosque, Masjid Al-Ihsaam, in Orlando. He also founded the Orlando-based Fundamental Islamic Knowledge Seminary in 2008 and railed against gays and non-Muslims. Mateen was enrolled in Taubah’s course.

Just weeks before the Pulse nightclub massacre, another Orlando mosque, the Husseini Islamic Center, hosted a guest imam who had preached that “gays must die” and that Muslims should not “be embarrassed about this … let’s get rid of them now.”

Also in Orlando, the al-Rahman mosque led by Imam Muhammad Musri made headlines in 2010 after holding a fundraiser for the terrorist group Hamas.

In Tampa, Sami al-Arian founded the al-Qassam mosque named after an infamous Syrian terrorist. Last fall, the mosque — owned by the North American Islamic Trust, an un-indicted terror co-conspiracy organization — invited an exiled Muslim Brotherhood instigator and Hamas cheerleader to speak.

In South Florida, the Darul Uloom Institute mosque in Pembroke Pines counted al-Qaida jihad pilot Adnan el-Shukrijumah (allegedly killed in a raid in Waziristan by the Pakistan military in 2014) and convicted jihadist Imran Mandhai — who plotted with fellow mosque attendees Hakki Aksoy and Shueyb Jokhan to blow up power stations, synagogues and a National Guard armory — among its worshipers.

Shukrijumah’s brother still lives in Broward County near the Darul Uloom mosque and has posted social media videos condemning “moderate” Muslims, blaming 9/11 on Jews and promoting the caliphate. Darul Uloom’s imam is a gay-bashing, Christian-bashing, Jew-bashing bigot who has publicly stated that at least one of the 9/11 hijackers prayed at his mosque.

Jails: Florida’s prisons and penitentiaries are unfettered cesspools for jihad radicalization and recruitment. Convicted al-Qaida dirty bomb plotter Jose Padilla (a.k.a. Abdullah al Mujahir) was introduced to Islam while serving time for an armed road rage incident in Sunrise, Florida. The above-named Abu Taubah radicalized nearly 40 fellow inmates while behind bars on a weapons conviction. He was freed last summer by U.S. District Judge Gregory Presnell after time served despite prosecutors' pleas to add 10 years to his sentence based on enhanced terror charges.

Gun-grabbers and bleeding hearts, wake up and stop playing Mickey Mouse politics. The problem isn’t weapons. It’s the weaponized Muslim hate-mongers and jihad enablers operating openly in our midst.

What part of they want us dead don't our overpaid leaders understand? This denial is more pathetic, certainly more dangerous than the time Mary Jo Buttafuco was all over the media denying Joey cheated on her. At least Mary Jo wised up and divorced the SOB.

Orlando has suffered a triple whammy of bad luck just within the last week; first that girl singer I never heard of is shot by one of her fans, then, of course, 50 dead in Orlando at the nightclub, then a 2 year old baby is gobbled up and stolen away from his father’s grasp by an alligator.

The first two events may end up being somehow related. The third tragedy with the toddler was just bad luck, people forgetting how ubiquitous and how dangerous the gators are.
Oh, and meanwhile, Obama has not bothered to pick the phone up and show the Governor any kind of support.Why? Because the Governor had the nerve to be critical of some of Obama’s goofy as*ed decisions. A petty little baby we have as president.

Don’t doubt it for one second. The wickedness of this man can’t be explained with words.

I’ve never seen that one before. Great post/graphic. Thanks.

Marxists and Mohammedans can hand the world off to each other on the way to total domination. They will tag-team their way to subjugate all individuals and any country. Independent countries with tiny dictators are in the way of their agendas. Bullies without borders. Collectivists without countries. Murderers without conscience. Witness history. Witness current events. One ideology keeps reconstituting itself. The other, a moon-like monolith exploding here in 2001, has been around for nearly 1400 years and isn’t going away in the next 1400.

America - an upstart republic, in the process of subjugation, is the ideal place for civilization’s pillagers to plunder along the way and use its military might as they see fit.

Fundamental transformation.

Land of the thieves…

http://www.usdebtclock.org

…home of the slaves.

DEFUND socialist/totalitarian collectives, foreign and domestic. DISMANTLE/DESTROY as necessary. DEPOPULATE their members/enablers/sycophants from the body politic.

It’s easy to…

live - free - republic

Secular Marxist atheists will eventually convert. Why not?

Repeating ten words of babble about Allah and you’re in the club? No risk of head-chopping?

We already know that Leftist don’t give a damn about women or gays in Saudi Arabia, so women will go right under the bus as male Marxists rush to say the Shahada and get on board the rape and murder for fun and profit train.

So true. National Socialists/Marxists come and go when there is a force to deal with them. When that force has been neutralized…

http://www.uhuh.com/nwo/communism/comgoals.htm

…the twin towers of totalitarianism team up to divide and conquer and one becomes the administrator, the other the enforcer. Good totalitarian/bad totalitarian.

The forces to deal with Mohammedans have come and gone. Mohammedans survive and are pushed back but not eliminated.

In a bad ending jihad rolls, slavery reigns supreme, freedom is extinguished.

Human history has been a slaughterhouse. A brief respite, in an upstart republic, is where we are.
