NYC Cabbie Who Runs Anti-American Islamic Web Site Mocks GI Deaths, Calls for Shia Law In US
Fox News ^ | 7 April 2008 | Fox News

Posted on 04/07/2008 7:39:43 AM PDT by batter

A New York City cabbie who operates an extremist Islamic anti-American Web site that features violent images — including mocking the deaths of GIs in Iraq — says he’s doing the country a service by “exposing the truth.”

Yousef al-Khattab, who runs RevolutionMuslim.com from his home in Queens, told FOX News that he also wants the U.S. to embrace Islam and Sharia Law, which prohibits alcohol and can include stoning to death or severe flogging for pre-marital sex and adultery.

On any given day, log on to al-Khattab's site and a host of startling images appear:

— The Statue of Liberty, with an ax blade cutting through her side;

— Video mocking the beheading of American journalist Daniel Pearl, entitled "Daniel Pearl I am Happy Your Dead :) ";

— Video of a puppet show lampooning U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq;

— The latest speech from Sheikh Abdullah Faisal, an extremist Muslim cleric convicted in the UK and later deported for soliciting the murder of non-Muslims.

...Formerly known as Joseph Cohen, al-Khattab is an American-born Jew who converted to Islam after attending an Orthodox Rabbinical school, which he later described as a “racist cult.”

They use it to crack down on potheads and small time crap, yet turn a blind eye to a guy like this.

Two questions:

(1) Why do you think violent crime in NYC went into freefall in the mid 90s?

(2) Do you really believe that the smartest move by law enforcement is to automatically arrest Joey Cohen, instead of taking a deeper approach?

Oh, and I have a follow-up question: do you have the name of a pothead who has been convicted under the PATRIOT Act?

1. I’m sure NAzi Germany and the Soviet Union were “safe” places also. Ever hear the phrase “at least the train runs on time?”

2. Who the hell is Joey Cohen?

3. Just from a quick search on the Google...

Sorry chief, but I don’t trust such broad powers with a massive central government. History shows us that it will always backfire on the people.

Do you think he’d get a warm reception in Shepherd of the Hills country — or would there be a sudden hack licence vacancy in NYC?

1. I’m sure NAzi Germany and the Soviet Union were “safe” places also. Ever hear the phrase “at least the train runs on time?”

So your bizarre answer to my simple question is that Nuremberg in 1938 and New York City in 2008 are basically indistinguishable?

A record application of Godwin's Law.

2. Who the hell is Joey Cohen?

So, in other words, you didn't even bother to read the article you are pontificating about.

Sorry chief, but I don’t trust such broad powers with a massive central government.

OK, hetman. Which powers are those, specifically?

Is that an M16/AR15 in the background? Isn’t that a no-no in NYC?

1. Well, if you’re supposing that the decrease in crime is due to more surveilance and police action, my response is totalitarian states tend to be more safe if less free.

2. Of course I read it, I was asking a rhetorical question IE “Joey Cohen/al Khattab is nobody important and deserves no special treatment.”

3. “The Act expanded the authority of US law enforcement agencies for the stated purpose of fighting terrorism in the United States and abroad. Among its provisions, the Act increased the ability of law enforcement agencies to search telephone, e-mail communications, medical, financial and other records; eased restrictions on foreign intelligence gathering within the United States; expanded the Secretary of the Treasury’s authority to regulate financial transactions, particularly those involving foreign individuals and entities; and enhanced the discretion of law enforcement and immigration authorities in detaining and deporting immigrants suspected of terrorism-related acts. The act also expanded the definition of terrorism to include “domestic terrorism,” thus enlarging the number of activities to which the Patriot Act’s expanded law enforcement powers can be applied.”

Among other things, I would suspect. I know your schtik is to be the pro-government arch-conservative or whatever, but I don’t understand how someone could support something like the Patriot Act without throwing the PC crap aside and calling the enemy by name.

And as a Muslim, he's qualified to make that judgement by personal experience.

Khattab again...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i74ZnwEuEMg&feature=related

Looks like i’ll have to go out to Queens on weekends... again. First the Brotherhood in Jackson burning flags and street preaching, a lot of these guys as you know, are in cab companies... Remember Baz?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G2BQKTi94o

Which by the way was around the Kahane assassination (watch both parts):

Which if you watch it, in the crowds at the courthouse there are two members who later took part in the 1993 bombing (as well as players re: 1995 Landmarks attempt and 2001 WTC)... they started as cabbies outta al Farooq mosque in Brooklyn (Blind Shiekh ran through there as well), or one of the three radical New Jersey mosques, because of Kunsler and Kuby, they walked.

You might as well meet Nosair:

Not to mention pics of many terror participants at the shooting range in Long Island... in 1989, they took pictures weekly (let that sink in).

FYI, many of them have put school bus companies together... be advised.

1. Well, if you’re supposing that the decrease in crime is due to more surveilance and police action, my response is totalitarian states tend to be more safe if less free.

What reduced crime in NYC was statistical analysis and intelligently chosen prosecutions.

For example: a crew of muggers is victimizing subway passengers at certain stops, ripping off dozens of citzens every month. It is a waste of resources to pay undercovers to ride the train back and forth for days and days, hoping to be there the day they choose to strike. But, the cops catch someone at one of the stations in question for dealing marijuana. They see he has priors, they know he lives in the neighborhood and is well aware of other criminal activity. They present him with a choice: they will prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law or they will let him plead to lesser charges if he gives them the names and addresses of members of the mugging crew, some of whom will inevitably be known to him.

Voila. Without having to patrol the stations with uniforms 24/7, or having to tie up an undercover team for weeks, a couple of hours of smart policing by one uniform and one detective has shut down the mugging crew and prevented hundreds of crimes.

2. Of course I read it, I was asking a rhetorical question IE “Joey Cohen/al Khattab is nobody important and deserves no special treatment.”

Nice try, but you didn't know who Joey Cohen was. You wrote of al-Khattab (who, unbeknownst to you at the time, was also Cohen) in these terms above: "They use it [the PATRIOT Act] to crack down on potheads and small time crap, yet turn a blind eye to a guy like this."

If you originally considered him a nobody, why would you have contrasted him with other nobodies like "potheads and small time crap."

If I had wanted wikipedia's take on the PATRIOT Act, I would have searched wikipedia.

I asked you for specifics, and you have offered me none.

"Increased abilities" - what abilities? "Eased restrictions" - what restrictions?

Among other things, I would suspect.

But you don't know. Until wikipedia posts some more generalizations, of course.

I know your schtik is to be the pro-government arch-conservative or whatever, but I don’t understand how someone could support something like the Patriot Act without throwing the PC crap aside and calling the enemy by name.

So, in other words, you would prefer a law that criminalized Islam?

The enemy is militant Islam.

I noticed the AR too. I know NYC has serious gun control issues but I thought most were limited to handguns. Did they ban 'assault rifle' possession too or just limit mag capacity on those firearms?

If there is a mag capacity ban, he may have violated it (that looks like a 30 round mag on the AR). Of course, that assumes the picture is taken in NY - for all I know the picture was taken in another state.

Anyone know much about NY gun laws?
