CAIR, FBI looking into Tampa gas station explosion

“We have lost a good young man”

Yesterday afternoon I posted this story because it raised questions: a Muslim is involved in a fatal post-midnight explosion in a gas station, and the FBI is investigating -- I wrote that it was "one to watch." And now the plot thickens: CAIR's Ahmed Bedier is on the case, and there may even be a connection to the jihadists whom he notoriously dismissed as "naive kids." Perhaps in the same spirit, Bedier here says of Farid Karaka: “We have lost a good young man.”

"FBI now involved in gas station explosion," from Tampabays10.com (thanks to Bill Warner):

Tampa, Florida – Many questions are left surrounding the death of a young Palestinian man. And, the FBI wants answers. 22-year-old Farid Karaka was burned alive after a gas station explosion early Wednesday morning on Busch Boulevard.

How did it happen?

Why was Karaka at a local Citgo mechanic’s garage at almost midnight. The garage was closed. He had just left friends at a local coffee shop and was en route to meet them at another location.

The FBI is asking all of these questions. But, they are tight-lipped on telling the media anything. They even refused comment on any connection of Karaka to 2 USF students who were recently arrested.

The question again is why. Have they established a connection? Are they looking into this as a matter of precaution? It would seem odd that a federal agency is involved in a matter left up to local fire investigators.

A local Muslim advocate group, CAIR, is welcoming any questions. And, wanting answers.

“Obviously when any crime happens or any accident happens, we welcome authorities and

CAIR investigating? A lot like putting the fox in charge of the hen house, I’d say...

Lock and Load.

Why aren’t the Islamofascist advocates at CAIR forced to stay behind the yellow tape like the rest of us? Next thing you know, we’ll have La Raza and MeCHA representatives “investigating” illegal immigration.

CAIR is now a (Sharia) law enforcement investigating agency. Who knew?

Just wait till Black inner city ‘yutes’ discover that CAIR will defend their thuggery if they just say they’re Muslims.

I can’t believe that the FBI have reported that what those 2 had in their car trunk was harmless. I can take a bottle of aspirins and chop them up and put them in a baggie and be arrest and put under the prison for having a look alike drug suspected item. Who says they were not trying to perfect a bomb and just hadn’t gotten it right yet? Especially after the remote control truck video’s. Same as this punk....a lot of questions will have to be answered and answered clearly by the FBI. The thing that sickens me the worst were the people on TV crying over this US Jihadist because he was such a nice man. People are so easily taken in by these terrorist.

Could have it been a bomb factory???

Why would CAIR be concerned with a local fire investigation?

I smell a rat.

I’m not advocating taking out ALL cair members but if it happened I wouldn’t be too upset.

Perhaps another story on the same page is equally interesting:

Two sisters – identified only as Zohreh and Azar – have been convicted of adultery in Iran. They have now been sentenced to be stoned to death.

Adultery is a crime punishable by death in the Islamic Republic of Iran, in accordance with the canons of Islamic Sharia law. The Iranian Supreme Court has upheld the stoning sentence.

Zohreh and Azar have already received 99 lashes for "illegal relations." Yet they were tried again for the same crime, and convicted of adultery on the evidence of videotape that showed them in the presence of other men while their husbands were absent. The video does not show either of them engaging in any sexual activity at all.

Odd that NOW and CAIR are silent on this case. What a wonderful religion that advocates using kids to blow up innocent people, or chopping off the heads of nuns, or baking a father's son and serving the boy to the father with an apple in his mouth. Yep...sure makes me want to be a part of and better understand that cult.

If 4 more gas stations mysteriously explode in the next couple of days then its not a coincidence, right?

Kinda like the cables all being damaged recently but basically only Iran is severely affected.

“Why would CAIR be concerned with a local fire investigation?”

Why should CAIR be allowed to stick its terror-supporting nose in FBI business?

If you have to run inside a muslim-run gas station to buy a bag of peanuts be sure to check out where all the exits are.

The service station where I went for years was run by an Egyptian muslim. He was always telling me about his frequent trips to Egypt.

He mysteriously disappeared all of a sudden, and I was told by a police chief friend of mine that Canadian and U.S. federal authorities were cooperating trying to track him down in Canada.

I'm sure they're not committing these assets for watering down Slushies.
