Michael Ray Stubbs and James Stubbs....I wanted to know the Islamic names though.

I believe one of the links I posted today had one of the brother's islamic name.

Hmmm...I just scanned both stories and didn't see the Islamic names...I know I saw at least one name today --- somewhere.

Let me guess, they converted in an American jail?

Michael Ray Stubbs, 55, and his brother James, 56, a convert to Islam, were arrested
on immigration violation charges Dec. 13 in the town of Tanza in Cavite province,
21 miles southwest of Manila, the Bureau of Immigration said.

...in a sane world...

Judge: Guilty as charged. May G-d have mercy on your miserable Islamofacist souls.
String 'em up boys.
NEXT CASE OF ISLAMO-KILLA's and Wanna-bes, Bailiff!

Right. I was referring to the Islamic names. I remembered the question from last night.

From the Indianapolis Star:

Two former Indianapolis residents are being held in the Philippines for suspected links to al-Qaida.

Philippine authorities said today Michael Ray Stubbs and his brother, James, will be deported to the U.S. after allegations they met with members of terrorist cells with links to al-Qaida.

The men were reared in Indianapolis, where they attended high school before moving to California in the early 1980s, said their sister, Pamela Thornton, who lives in Indianapolis.

Thornton said her brother James has radical political ideas, but neither of the brothers is a terrorist.

They were in the Philippines visiting their wives, who are Filipino, she said. They were arrested Dec. 13 in the town of Tanza, a suburb of Manila.

A convert to Islam, James Stubbs, 56, was previously questioned by the FBI in the 1960s, when he was a Black Panther, Thornton said.

Thornton said her brother Michael, 55, worked as a heating and air conditioning technician at a major nuclear weapons lab near San Francisco.

FBI officials are investigating whether he had access to sensitive information.

Thornton said she also worked at the lab.

She said her brother is aware that the activity at the lab is top secret and would not divulge information if he had any.

The one that worked here is enough for me:

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (search) -- a major nuclear weapons lab outside San Francisco -- for about 10 years ending in 2000. The FBI was looking into whether he had access to sensitive information, they said.

Here they are...
