WHITE AL QAIDA-Sead Jakup, Bosnian Muslim wanted to set the temple ablaze in New York
The Pakistani immigrant said he watched in disbelief as Sead Jakup, 22, took the canister across the street and began dousing the Young Israel of Kings Bay synagogue. Ali quickly called 911, and cops arrived before Jakup, a Bosnian Muslim, could set the temple ablaze. "Mr. Ali saved the shul [synagogue]," said Allen Popper, president of the synagogue. "He's a hero." Ali said that Jakup first asked to pump gas into a plastic bucket. Assuming the man's car had run out of fuel, Ali gave him a gas can to fill up. He said he "couldn't believe my eyes" when Jakup marched straight to the synagogue. "I saw him spilling gas on the sign in front of the synagogue," Ali said. "Then, he started spilling it onto the door - that is when I called 911."
A real hero! Which shows that not all muslims are brainless!
Do you have a link?
Not really the sharpest tool in the shed, are you Darko.
This is kinda surprising. In my admittedly limited experience, Bosnian Muslims were about the least devout Muslims I'd ever met. Maybe I just met the good ones lol...
One of my interpreters always joked that he couldn't stay sober long enough to go into a mosque....
With that said, portraying this as having anything to do with Al Qaeda is just plain stupid.
You could be right on that point. I knew a couple Muslim head cases, but it wasn't due to their religion...they'd have been kooky no matter what god they prayed to.

Oh, please. You're not even close to right, not after you slandered the Bradley Fighting Vehicle last week.
I never did. I merely pointed out that you are taking your love for the Army's short bus a tad too far.
I mean, c'mon, think about it - doesn't the handicap access ramp and the "Hello Kitty" rucksacks tell you something?
