A lot of Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine that America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves..

Pause a moment, reflect back.

These events are actual events from history.. They really happened!!! Do you remember?

1. In 1968, Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by a Muslim male.

2. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and massacred by Muslim males.

3. In 1972 a Pan Am 747 was hijacked and eventually diverted to Cairo where a fuse was lit on final approach and it was blown up shortly after landing by Muslim males.

4. In 1973 a Pan Am 707 was destroyed in Rome , with 33 people killed, when it was attacked with grenades by Muslim males.

5. In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over by Muslim males.

6. During the 1980’s a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by Muslim males.

7. In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by Muslim males.

8. In 1985, the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by Muslim males.

9. In 1985, TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens , and a US Navy diver trying to rescue passengers was murdered by Muslim males.

10. In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by Muslim males.

11. In 1993, the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by Muslim males.

12. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Muslim males.

13. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to take down the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by the passengers. Thousands of people were killed by Muslim males.

14. In 2002, the United States fought a war in Afghanistan against Muslim males.

15. In 2002, reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and beheaded by-— you guessed it-—Muslim males.

No, I really don’t see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people...

Absolutely No Profiling!

They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President’s security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males alone lest they be guilty of profiling.

Have the American People completely lost their Minds, or just their Power of Reason???

Yes, Stupid Is As Stupid Does. Are we ever going to Smarten up?

ABU DUJANA AL-KHORASANI: FROM FORUM TO MARTYRDOM

Posted on January 10, 2010 4:59:28 PM PST by Cindy

SNIPPET: “Some comments

• I have to assume that al-Balawi was thoroughly debriefed by al-Qaida before being sent on this mission, and I’m surprised no one has sought to correlate his “infiltration” of al-Qaida with Abu Yahya al-Libi’s book released over the summer: “Guidance on the Ruling of the Muslim Spy”

“Al-Qaeda cyber sites go silent”
Published: 4/04/2012 at 01:55 AM
Online news:

SNIPPET: “”All of them essentially went down” as of March 23, said Aaron Zelin, a researcher at the politics department at Brandeis University.

The outage hit a number of online forums including two “flagship” sites, al-Fida and Shamukh al-Islam, which serve as a channel for Al-Qaeda forums, providing a stamp of approval for any associated sites, Zelin said.”

SNIPPET: “The digital sabotage could have been carried out by any number of governments or private hackers, said James Lewis, director of the technology and public policy program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

“There are some many potential suspects,” Lewis told AFP.”

SNIPPET: “In other words, this was a lesson to the aspiring media wing members on how to integrate two images into one on Photoshop! The replies from the others on the thread are not, “Allahu Akbar! Let’s bomb New York”. The replies are stuff like, “Well done, great integration!” and “Cool design!”.”

“Al Qaeda site says ‘enemies of Allah’ took it down”
AFP | 2 days ago

SNIPPET: “HONG KONG: One of al Qaeda’s main Internet sites has accused “enemies of Allah” of taking it down for several days, but said it was now back up stronger than ever, according to a US monitoring service on Thursday.

Researchers who track jihadist movements said this week that Shamukh al-Islam, one of al Qaeda’s two main websites, went dark on March 23 and reappeared online on Monday April 2.

The unprecedented blackout was most likely the result of a cyber attack, either by a government or by private hackers, the experts in the United States said.”

“Al Qaeda bomb-making expert publishes magazine detailing how to make explosives

Text penned by longtime jihadist and explosives guru Abdullah Dhu al-Bajadin”

BY JOSEPH STRAW AND ROCCO PARASCANDOLA / NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Monday, April 9, 2012, 11:55 PM

SNIPPET: “The first installment to circulate through jihadist online circles is ominously titled Al Qaeda Airlines and features an image of a silhouetted twin-engine airliner climbing into the sunset. The 73-page text was penned by longtime jihadist and explosives guru Abdullah Dhu al-Bajadin, according to the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors jihadist Web traffic. The mysterious figure is credited with writing an Internet encyclopedia of terror tradecraft, and once fielded online questions about bomb-making from wanna-be evildoers.

The first installment outlines chemistry fundamentals and a recipe for the poisonous anesthetic chloroform.

“We chose that because the beginner mujahid can prepare it at home using materials that are available in grocery stores and supermarkets,” the author wrote, according to a SITE translation.”

Homeland Security Joint Subcommittee Hearing on Cyber Threat from Iran — TOMORROW

APR 25, 2012 Issues: Counterterrorism, Cybersecurity

Washington, D.C. – The Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, chaired by Rep. Patrick Meehan (R-PA), and the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Infrastructure Protection, and Security Technologies, chaired by Rep. Dan Lungren (R-CA), will hold a joint hearing entitled “Iranian Cyber Threat to the U.S. Homeland” tomorrow at 10 a.m. in Room 311 Cannon House Office Building.

In January, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper testified before the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence that “Iran’s intelligence operations against the United States, including cyber capabilities, have dramatically increased in recent years in depth and complexity.”

Tomorrow’s hearing will give Members the opportunity to examine Iran’s capability to carry out cyber attacks and the potential threat this poses to the homeland, including the threat to critical infrastructure such as nuclear power plants and the electric grid.
