SNIPPET: “SOME of the seven Muslims arrested as part of an international probe into an alleged plot to murder Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks had planned to set up an extremist prayer group in Waterford to radicalise other Muslims, gardaí believe.”
SNIPPET: “The seven – four men and three women – were arrested by armed gardaí on Tuesday in Waterford and Cork following a lengthy Garda investigation based on information provided by US intelligence agencies.
Five of the seven suspects – three Algerians, one Libyan and one Palestinian – had their periods of custody extended on Wednesday night on application to the courts for a further three days.
Two others – a Croat and a US citizen – had their detention periods extended for three days yesterday morning.”
SNIPPET: “Gardaí had the suspects and associates under surveillance for four months.
Investigators suspect that three of those arrested – an Algerian, Croatian and Libyan – were at “similar levels” in the group.”
SNIPPET: “Garda sources have confirmed the arrests are linked to the prosecution of American woman Colleen LaRose over an alleged plot to murder Mr Vilks. The woman, who went by the online name of “Jihad Jane”, visited Ireland last September for two weeks when she met some of those arrested.”
SNIPPET: “The computer experts are examining internet downloads on the computer and other documentation seized. Much of this is in Arabic and gardaí have contracted a company that provides interpretation services to the Gardaí to assist.”

Hat Tip:
Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance.
Would someone in the civilized Western world explain to me that wherever muslims go, there is trouble? And if that is the case, why do non-muslim nations let muslims emigrate to their countries? This is suicide, correct? Is this any different than letting rabid communists or nazis into your country en masse? Have we lost our minds?
A politician who says this:
A) Has balls.
B) Gets my respect and my vote, and...
C) Doesn't exist.
There was a long article in the WSJ this morning about the US citizen in this group, an American woman from Colorado who converted to Islam a couple of years ago and wears a full-body covering and veil. She took off for Ireland suddenly (with her six yr old son, whose name she had changed to Walid) last fall to marry a Muslim man.
She sounds like a nutcase who would eventually have joined some kind of cult or another anyway, and she converted after taking a course at a local college. She became radicalized almost immediately.

I suggest you bookmark these links on your web browser for future reference.
Thanks, I hadn’t yet gone down far enough to see that thread. Strange story. Why is the US suddenly full of nutty, disaffected females rushing to enslave themselves to Islam?
Well, this signals something of a breakthrough for the Islamists.
The FIRST time I have heard of anything happening in Ireland.
They’re everywhere.
Cockroaches.

You’re welcome SunkenCiv.

“Irish Authorities Release American Woman Arrested in Terror Plot”
March 13, 2010
SNIPPET: “SNIPPET: “DENVER — An American woman and three others arrested in Ireland over an alleged plot to assassinate Swedish artist Lars Vilks have been freed without charge, Irish police said Saturday.
Seven people — including the American woman, three Algerians, a Libyan, a Palestinian and a Croatian — were arrested Tuesday in Ireland. Irish police said three others who were also arrested remained in custody and were being questioned.
In Leadville, Colo., Christine Mott identified the American woman held in Ireland as her daughter, 31-year-old Jamie Paulin-Ramirez. Christine Mott said she was informed of Paulin-Ramirez’s arrest by the FBI and other federal law enforcement agencies.
Irish police refused to confirm whether Paulin-Ramirez is the woman released and have declined to release the identities of any of those arrested.”

“American Linked to Terror Plot ‘Lost Her Mind’”
Saturday, March 13, 2010
LEADVILLE, Colorado —
SNIPPET: “Jamie Paulin-Ramirez also began talking about Jihad with her Muslim stepfather and spent most of her time online as she withdrew from her family, Mott said.”
SNIPPET: “A U.S. official, who was not authorized to discuss the investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity, said Saturday that Paulin-Ramirez had been detained in Ireland in connection with an alleged plot to kill a Swedish cartoonist who had offended many Muslims.
Irish police said later Saturday that they had released without charge an American woman, who they didn’t identify, and three others arrested in Ireland over an alleged plot to assassinate the cartoonist, Lars Vilks.”

“No cartoon: Leadville woman, 31, freed in plot”
By TRACY HARMON
THE PUEBLO CHIEFTAIN
LEADVILLE —
SNIPPET: “The last time Mrs. Mott said she had spoken to her daughter, Sept. 11, she reported her daughter told her she had been in Denver praying.
Mrs. Mott told police she and her daughter had been fighting after Paulin-Ramirez had decided on Easter that she was going to become a Muslim.
Paulin-Ramirez began to wear a scarf and spend an “excessive amount of time on the Internet speaking to someone named Alley,” according to Thomas’ report. Mrs. Mott feared that her daughter was headed to New York to meet Alley, an Algerian man, who said he was coming to America to become a pilot. She also voiced fears that it was her, and not her daughter, who was Christian’s primary caregiver and was afraid the boy would not be accepted into the Muslim community.
Mrs. Mott told Thomas that it was, “very out of character” for her daughter to disappear, giving up a job she had held for more than two years at Vail Valley Medical, where she was a medical assistant.”

“Four Released in Ireland Terror Case”
By NEIL SHAH and VANESSA O’CONNELL
SNIPPET: “WATERFORD, Ireland — Irish police said on Saturday evening they have released all three women who were among seven individuals arrested earlier this week in connection with an alleged plot to murder a Swedish cartoonist.
They were released and not charged, police said.”
SNIPPET: “”The three remaining people in custody are males,” and are being held in the Tramore and Waterford stations, a spokesman for the Irish police said. Police also confirmed for the first time Sunday morning that a U.S. citizen had been among those in custody.
The released individuals could still face charges down the road. A report for each of those arrested will be submitted to a director of public prosecutions, who can then decide whether the suspect should be re-arrested and charged. This process could take “a matter of weeks,” the spokesman said.
A release of Ms. Paulin-Ramirez raises the question of whether she will now be deported.”
SNIPPET: “The U.S. national, a woman, was believed to be in a relationship with one of the other males, an Algerian, this source had said.”

Male or female, there never seems to be any shortage of disaffected, unattached poseurs ready and willing to attach themselves to one whacky “belief system” or another.
Religious cultists and Political cultists perfectly come together in Radical Islam, which has rushed in to fill the recruitment void left by the collapse of Global Communism, and we know who rushed in to fill the practical political void left by THAT.
A majority of Americans elected him.
