The Terrorist Next Door--A "mild-mannered" D.C. teacher gets 15 years for supporting al-Qaeda group

Islam is a religion of peace, this terrorist supporter was a "gentle" sweetheart that wouldn't "hurt a tree branch in his yard", and Santa's sled is pulled by six purple hippos while Goldilocks and Litte Red Riding Hood ride shot gun and drop Easter eggs down chimneys.

All this took place in the shadow of the U.S. capital.

I didn't say it would be easy. You asked what do we do and I told you.

[7thson]

Well, I guess I owe them an apology. Hate to do it but I will. I did a search on their site for that guys name but it did not come up. I listen to it every morning and I never heard it mentioned.

[EdReform]

Spot on. Well said.

Moderate Muslims are a Tiny Minority

I don't know about that many of them are citizens part. It seems whenever these guys are busted they became citizens but were born somewhere else. My take - unless they were actually born here, revoke their citizenship and ship them back to their country of origin. Those born here pose a different problem. Can we revoke citizenship of people born here?

I am now reading the PIG Guide to Islam and the Crusades. In the second chapter, talking about the Koran, it states that all Islam scholars agree that the Medina (violent) suras override the Mecca (peaceful) suras. So it seems that while they can claim truthfully they have peaceful passages in the Koran, the suras ordering them to murder the infidels - us - are the only ones they need pay heed to.

[7thson]

Do a google search on this guys name. All kinds of sites defending him and wanting to raise money to support him.

[zeebob]

You guys are too funny with your Al CIAda boogey men. Have some more cool-aid, while the Republic goes down the toilet.

[McGavin999]

The guy was afraid to hurt a tree? BS.

A tree, yes, but he had no problem with killing women and children.

Within months of the attacks, Chandia joined the so-called Virginia jihad network dedicated to preparing for holy war against U.S. troops deployed to Afghanistan. The gang's ringleader was the civil-rights coordinator for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, a Washington-based nonprofit leading the charge against airport and subway terror profiling.

First I've heard of this.

[SuziQ]

Upon his sentencing, Chandia lashed out at prosecutors, warning "their judgment is on the way."

Sure sounds like a mild mannered third grade teacher to me. /s

I guess the writer of this article expects the terrorists in our midst to go around scowling at every American they see, and shouting anti-American slogans everywhere. Whatta goober! Of course they're going to be low-key! How else would they be able to go about getting their work for the cause done without anyone being suspicious of them?

I was simply pointing out the magnitude of the problem. As I see it, there are several "layers". There are "illegals" who have no documents or expired visas, "legals" with proper visas , "naturalized citizens", and native born. Within these layers you have active cells, sleeper cells, fellow travellers, all flavors of supporters, individual maniacs, and even some so called "moderate" muslims.

Massive muslim immigration and travel have created a very dangerous situation in the western world. Old Europe is virtually lost. It is up to the old Anglo-American alliance (US, Canada, UK, Australia, and possibly New Zealand) and, maybe Japan, to carry the torch for freedom. These few countries do have the power to win the war, of that I have no doubt. Do we have the will to do what is neccessary to win the war?

It will be extremely difficult, if not impossible to win this war if we do not root out the enemy within. The PC ethic that is so ingrained in our society is clouding our judgement and hindering the effort. Until we can identify and deal with the real agents of the enemy within the muslim community, they are all under suspicion, as far as I am concerned.

Am I being mean to believe that everyone who showed up in that courtroom to support the terrorist-supporting SOB should be thrown out of our country today? Tomorrow morning would also work.

[7thson]

I would vote for that. At the least, it would be comforting to know if some FBI agent was there taking photos and writing down license tags.

Am I being mean to believe that everyone who showed up in that courtroom to support the terrorist-supporting SOB should be thrown out of our country today? Tomorrow morning would also work.

I'm reminded of a scene in the Godfather, the FBI collecting license plate numbers in the parking area at his daughters wedding. My guess that didn't happen here.

And for the record, should Denver get nuked and I stop posting, please take revenge in my name.

We will. To paraphrase Halsey: "When this is over arabic will only be spoken in Hell."
