fyi
Errr... what about the mosques... the Islamic schools and the pro-muslim groups that are spread throughout the nation?
I doubt I’m the only one to notice that a lot of this stuff seems to be parked on the street outside Hugo Chavez’s house. No direct links but the proximity is curious.
Even so, the PC crowd at the MSM still insists that we must not be suspicious of members of this self-described “religion of peace”. Well where is the outrage from the other peaceful members? I am finally hearing from the MSM that this plot was “Muslim extremists”, so we are finally hearing the “M word”, but I have yet to see the press conference by those who claim to speak for the “religion of peace” here in America, let alone see the street protests by followers who are expressing outrage at how opposed they are to such bloodshed and violence in the name of their “peaceful” deity.
What is wrong with this picture? It is becoming increasingly clear that the opposite case is the truth: that Islam has a number of followers who just cannot bring themselves to acknowledge, let alone honestly accept, that their religion is one of violence, war and bloodshed. It is moderate followers who are in denial of the truth about Islam, a truth that these “extremists” are only following.
It also illustrates how dangerous the mass-denial and group-think that Political Correctness imposes on the public.
If the truth be known I’ll bet the trail on this one runs all the way to the mountains in Pakistan.
the AQ involvement is rather weak in this story...
Militant Islam is rampant in prisons too. And we let it happen thanks to the hate-America ACLU.
Because they hope the description will bring to mind the Tim McVeigh type of guy. And by the way, just for the record, there is a lot of evidence that McVeigh also had ME help, although MSM is loathe to admit it. (See “The Third Terrorist” by Jayna Davis.)
Alas, the ACLU has a lot of help in high places.
Government-subsidized recruiting offices...
All Law Enforcement Agencies need to keep an ear to the ground on these last two cases. The JFK and the Ft Dix terrorists are made to look as though they have no backing from a know Terrorist Organization. These two incidents are diversions to keep Law Enforcement from seeing or hearing what really is being planned, a major attack here in the U.S.
I thought I heard on Fox News last night that they (FBI, etc) were looking for seven additional people involved with this incident? Did anyone else hear that?
The many rural and mountain “muslim retreats” might be a good place to look too. I’m sure that US law enforcement is aware of the many bases of operation, staging areas and safe houses these people use, but I’m not happy about how little pressure they put on them.
Note to John Edwards: What do you have to say now you moronic b@st@rd??
Shock, surprise in Guyana
Published on: 6/3/07.
**********************EXCERPT*****************************
GEORGETOWN, Guyana – Colleagues of a former opposition member of Guyana's parliament expressed disbelief yesterday that he could be involved in an alleged plot to attack New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.
Abdul Kadir, who authorities said was arrested in Trinidad as he prepared to board a flight to Venezuela, had never expressed extremist views or hatred of the United States, said James McAlister, who served with him in Guyana's parliament.
"He was a very principled and disciplined person," said McAlister, a fellow member of the opposition People's National Party. "He never aired any fundamentalist views or showed any such symptoms."
Oscar Clarke, a former member of parliament and general secretary of the party, said he too was skeptical of United States allegations that Kadir and three other Muslims planned to destroy the airport by blowing up a jet fuel artery that runs through several neighbourhoods.
"I would be definitely shocked and surprised if anything is proven against him," Clarke said.
Kadir, 55, served in the parliament until last year, when it was disbanded before general elections in the former Dutch and British colony on the north coast of South America.
He was arrested in Trinidad and Tobago with a man identified as Kareem Ibrahim, a citizen of the twin-island Caribbean nation.
United States authorities said Russell Defreitas, an American citizen and native of Guyana, was in custody in Brooklyn. The fourth man, Abdel Nur, also of Guyana, was still being sought in Trinidad.
Not in contact
Kadir's wife, Isha Kadir, told The Associated Press that her husband knew Abdel Nur in Guyana in the 1980s but they were no longer in contact.
"We have not seen him for a long time and I would be surprised if my husband has any links with him still," she said in a phone interview from her home in Guyana.
She said Kadir, a Shi'ite Muslim, was travelling to Venezuela to pick up a travel visa to attend an Islamic religious conference in Iran. She planned to travel to Trinidad to try to meet with her husband before he is extradited to the United States.
Kadir, who studied civil engineering at the University of Guyana and at the Trinidad campus of the University of the West Indies, also served as mayor in Linden, a small city south of Georgetown.
He also worked for years as a civil engineer in the state-owned bauxite company before leaving to set up a building contractor business.
Friend of Iranian
Kadir was a friend and associate of an Iranian cleric, Muhammad Hassan Abrahemi, who was abducted, shot to death and left in a sand pit east of Georgetown in 2004.
He and his wife have three children, who have all studied religion in Iran, Isha said.
She said she suspected her husband's arrest was linked to two American Muslims who stayed with the family in Guyana for a week last month. She knew one only as Muhammed and did not know the other's name.
"I am now wondering if those Muslim brothers did not set us up," she said. "I can't say for sure but we have nothing to hide. We are not involved in anything."
Guyana's government sought to distance itself from Kadir, noting his role as an opposition figure.
"This latest development brings into sharper focus the need for greater cooperation among countries in the fight against international terrorism," the government said in a statement. (AP)

Our Government is brilliant. I stand in line at the airport waiting to get frisked, while our Government allows our enemies in through the front door.
Law Enforcement has its hands full. I wish them all the luck in the world becuase they need it. Thanks to our idiocy (by voting these idiots into office) we are stacking the deck against them.
