TAMPA -- PVC pipe filled with homemade "low-grade explosive mixture'' and a videotape instruction for turning a remote-controlled toy car into a detonator were among the items found in the car driven by two University of South Florida students arrested in South Carolina and now facing federal explosives charges, according to a federal prosecutor...The list also included a videotape that instructs viewers on how to convert a toy electric car into a detonator. Defendant Ahmed Mohamed has admitted making the tape, and in it he says he intended the instruction "to save one who wants to be a martyr for another battle,'' said federal prosecutor Jay Hoffer.

Too bad they can’t be executed as enemy combatants.

I live in Tampa, rather near USF. I still find it hard to believe that I was having an argument with a coworker who was insisting that it was only “fireworks” the students had in the car. She insisted the media was distorting the facts to make the students unsympathetic. There are none so blind as those who will not see.

but...but...I thought they were just a couple of wild and crazy guys with fireworks???

I'm just wondering when the FBI will say they're connected to terrorism.

I do - I say I do - like the way you think!

[Dog]

Never.

Notice how quiet CAIR became..

[Jet Jaguar]

I knew it wasn’t fireworks.

They sell some good stuff in S.C. but not remotely detonated pipe bombs.

On Beck’s show the other night, they had a former FBI agent who said that CAIR pressured the Tampa authorities into dropping the charges against those two Saudi USF students who jumped on the school bus last year.

Don’t think CAIR will have much to say about this one, not with the confession of the student and the martyr statement.

Doesn’t everyone kick-off their 4th of July with a hearty ‘martyr’ speech?

[BKerr]

I hope they detain the pig in Gitmo; he isn’t a citizen, he’s eligible to be held as an enemy combatant.

Also, we need to cut off all visas to muslims until this war is won. If we don’t get serious about this, we are going to get hit again.

Goose Creek ping!

“I live in Tampa, rather near USF”

Ditto, and I wonder how many still remain.

makes perfect sense to me. I always use remote control for my fireworks for safety reasons.

Ah but do you do it for this purpose:

"to save one who wants to be a martyr for another battle,'

There are none so blind as those who will not see.

That statement can be expressed in a couple of other ways!

Liberals See What They Believe; Conseritives Believe What They See.

And

Christians & Jews say; "I will die for what I believe".

A mohammedan says; "you will die for what I believe".

[Emmett McCarthy]

You’re absolutely correct. We should also be closing down their mosques, but our president thinks that if he calls it a “religion of peace” long enough that it will make it so.

[Humble Servant]

” Don’t think CAIR will have much to say about this one, not with the confession of the student and the martyr statement. “

No. It is certainly time for the ACLU to step in and begin passionatley defending the Sacred Constitutional Right of our Enemies to make political statements by blowing our asses up.

I sez martyr ‘em now, and bury them in a vat of pig intestines.

When the Pope sits shiva....
