Nuradin Abdi was convicted in 2007 of planning to blow up an Ohio shopping mall. Iyman Faris was convicted in 2003 of planning to blow up the Brooklyn Bridge.

Smith, an attorney for Faris, were part of a larger group of jihadists and extremists who frequented the mosque. The FBI now is investigating reports of links to that same mosque by Muslim-convert Abdulhakim Muhammad...

..why the White House didn't put out a statement responding to the shooting at a military recruitment center Monday. Doesn't that clash a little with their response to the killing of Dr. George Tiller? ...how much Republicans are willing to put on the line to slow Sotomayor's confirmation process - and whether the White House has active plans to undermine opposition. How big a fight would Obama pick to get Sotomayor confirmed by August, rather than in September?

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - A Muslim convert who pleaded not guilty to killing a soldier outside a recruiting center had the firepower to take out many more while on a mission to "kill as many people in the Army as he could," police said.

The jihadist, back from Yemen I have learned from a well-placed source that Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, who killed one soldier and wounded another at a a Little Rock military recruiting center today, and who faces charges of terrorism as well as first-degree murder, has recently returned from Yemen, where he studied jihad with an Islamic scholar there. Apparently the Islamic scholar under whom this American convert to Islam studied was yet another misunderstander of Islam's true, peaceful teachings. More on this as it develops.

A police report based on an interview with the suspect says Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, 23, told police he observed two soldiers in uniform, drove up to the recruiting center and started shooting.

Of course I usually stick up for Islam, saying 99.999% of Muslims are good people, peace loving, and just want a warm home, food, and education for their kids like the rest of us. I argue the Muslim fundamentalists are no different than the Christian fundamentalists, like that nutcase that killed Tiller. The sheer volume of Muslim violence, against Christians, against the US, against each...
