You said -- "Email address is no longer valid … must have changed it to avoid those pesky overage email charges."

I've been reading those other FReeper threads and he has a few other e-mail addresses, it seems -- and the place appears to be run out of his parents house and he is apparently a student at the University of Wisconsin.

I know it's a lot of stuff to read through, but there is another e-mail address. In fact, I read that there is a lot of information available, including the Internet registration and a student e-mail addres and also a home address for his parents.

Someone should gather it all together and put it out for everyone.

Regards,
Star Traveler

This was what I meant by the threat....He closed by telling Kirkland, “you can be sure that there are million of Muslim activists as well that will do something about your foul statements…. your statements against Muslims and your direct insults will not go unheard, I assure you.”

The brother......UPDATE 11: Jan 23 1500

Faisal Khetani’s brother, Salman RamzanAli Khetani, http://lmrt.mit.edu/personnel/individual.asp?id=20 is a Ph.D. with a B.S. in Electrical and Biomedical Engineering http://web.mit.edu/catalogue/degre.inter.divis.shtml from my alma mater, Marquette University, and a fellowship award honorable mention from the National Science Foundation. http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2000/gf00hm/gf00hm.txt

Just something about all this bothers me. I am very glad you brought it back up ...We do need to be reminded of this. Thanks ~~Pandora~~

JeanS put this up......http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1774931/posts

Dear Visitor,

Due to the recent actions of a member within our company, we have been experiencing many difficulties. We have been bombarded by emails and phone calls literally within 12 hours of the event occurring, which sent us in a state of complete shock.

Our technical difficulties were experienced due to severe e-mail and phone call overload.

As a company, we would like to say that it is against company policy to treat anyone disrespectfully, and we condemn any such behavior. The member who was responsible for stating their personal opinion in a disrespectful manner is no longer associated and no longer working with Discount-Mats.com

The members within our company strongly disagreed with the views and actions of this member, and once again, his personal opinion does not reflect the opinions of the company.

We, as a company, are sorry for the events that took place and we do not condone un-professional, rude behavior from any members within our company.

We are trying to get our website back up as soon as possible.

If you are a potential or current customer, or if you would like to leave your comments, please contact us via phone or e-mail below:

New E-mail Address: support @ discount-mats.com

Phone Number: 414-736-8394

We are getting a lot of phone calls and we expect many emails, so please don't be surprised if the mailbox is full. Please try again later as we are constantly trying to clear our phone and e-mail boxes.

You said -- "Just something about all this bothers me. I am very glad you brought it back up ..."

Actually, it's kind of nice to be following it up, this long after it was first posted -- because there is so much more information available now, that it seems clear that there was no employee to fire. He would have to fire himself if he fired someone.

Something is awfully suspicious about the whole thing, when you look at the information in post #8...

Star Traveler

He's lying like one of his mats!

P.S. -- There are no employees, only family members and perhaps a few Muslim buddies from the local Mosque (they get together after their "training films").

Personally I wish he would get on one of his flying magic mats and ride home.....I took a picture of the sole of my son's nastiest sneaker and put his weaselly name Faisal Khetani and Discount Mats on it and sent it to him......

....In the Muslim world, according to Hume Horan, a former U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia, "to have the sole of the shoe directed toward one is pretty much the equivalent of someone in our culture giving you the finger.

http://www.opinionjournal.com/taste/?id=110003324

I thought it was just fitting he should be insulted back and in his traditional Muslim way. I don't care if it was childish or not. I enjoyed doing it ..even though my family thinks I am nuts. I didn't write him a word. Just sent the picture...I always wondered why the Iraq's were beating Saddam's statue and pictures with shoes. It is a huge insult. Very strange people...

You can say that again!

By the way, you gotta see this Humvee driving through Iraq (in town). It's a blast --

That was good.....Ok have a great night Star Traveler and lets keep this going on Faisal and discount mats.....I am in NJ and we don't pump our own gas here. We got the Paki and I don't know what else gas station owners here ...If they are Muslim I won't buy from them because sometimes you get cheated if you don't watch the pumps. Plus I really don't care to do business with Muslims... I found a really good way to find out who is who . My daughter is married to a Sikh and Muslims hate Sikhs and Sikhs hate Muslims. So I very nicely ask are you Sikh..... when they get offended I say oops sorry but I only buy from Sikhs and leave. I really don't care to give my money to the Muslims. Even American ones.....I once lived by a mosque and it was horrible. Most of the members were converts from jail. You heard them pray 5 times a day and it was loud. Not to mention worse when they went up on the roof to pray in the summer. I was very happy when my house was remodeled and I could move back home. Take care...~~Pandora~~

The jerk at the company had a right to say what he did. The soldier had a right to tell everyone. Everyone had a right to respond as they saw fit. All of our soldiers provided this luxury to All Americans. Remind every leftist that you meet, that freedom of speech knows no political stripe. Use small words or their own catch phrases if necessary.

You said -- "The jerk at the company had a right to say what he did."

Dig deeper into that story (from the links and one given here on this thread) -- and you might find that there are *hints* that something more sinister is going on. And so, his "outburst", while you say he had a right, may actually indicate something more "akin" to what one would expect from Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups -- rather than -- someone appreciating the free speech of America.
