Muslim man arrested in Florida trying to obtain explosives
Jerusalem Post ^ | 1-9-12

ORLANDO, Fla. - A 25-year-old Muslim man born in Kosovo was charged on Monday with trying to obtain explosives and firearms to attack Florida businesses and a police station, authorities said.

Sami Osmakac, a naturalized US citizen who was born in Kosovo - a disputed Balkan state once a part of the former Yugoslavia that declared its independence from Serbia in 2008 - was charged with one count of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction.

He was arrested Saturday night after taking possession from an undercover FBI agent of what he believed to be explosives and firearms, according to a statement from the US Attorney. The devices were rendered inoperable by the agents.

Osmakac also planned to strap on an explosive belt and "get in somewhere where there's a lot of people," according to the release. Osmakac wanted to take hostages and demand the release of unspecified prisoners.

>> Osmakac also planned to strap on an explosive belt and “get in somewhere where there’s a lot of people.”

Well, let’s see. There’s a 1000 yard range in Okeechobee, Florida. We could lash him to the backstop ...

Watch the media try to concentrate on the man’s Yugoslavian identity and ignore his primary motivation.

I thought WMDs were nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons only. If it’s just regular explosives, then the term “weapon of mass destruction” has lost all meaning, and every single munition dropped by the USA or anyone else, anywhere, are all WMDs. Then again, maybe it’s that lovely double standard again: a 2,000 lb JDAM is a “precision attack munition” but 2 pounds of dynamite in a citizen’s hands is a weapon of mass destruction.

The guy is into strap-ons? Does that make him part of a protected class?

(Maybe he'd be better off just tying one on?)

Typical Muslim gratitude: the U.S. bombed Christian Serbs and maintains an occupation force in Kosovo to give control to Muslim Albanians, most of whom entered Yugoslavia as illegal immigrants, and the Shiptars want to kill Americans in America.

Time to remind you all what my tagline would read if FR gave us more characters:

"And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about. -- Slobodan Milosevic"

It’s only a matter of time until another Muslim kills hundreds if not thousands, and thanks to the rats and the lib media, Americans still won’t believe Islam to the murder cult that it is.

There’s a lot of people at OWS encampments in Oakland, Portland, NYC, and

State Dept, Homey Security, Obamalongadingdong and Holder all say so.

Move along - Just another isolated incident.
