Our country was going to allow more potential terrorist entry into the United States just sickens me. Jaber El-Baneh was a pretty rough dude and hitman for Al-qaeda. Some pretty sick relatives she had.

“....”But if you die in the month of Ramadan, you go straight to heaven, and that is where my sister will be,” Ahmed El-Baneh said. “But anyone that did this cowardly act, they will go straight to hell.”

Susan El-Baneh is related to Yemeni-American Jaber El-Baneh, who is on the FBI’s most-wanted list, accused of being the seventh member of the Lackawanna Six. The six were convicted or providing material support to al Qaeda.

El-Baneh confirmed the relation but preferred to talk about his sister and how the attack proved anyone can be the target of a terrorist act....”

“El-Baneh confirmed the relation but preferred to talk about his sister and how the attack proved anyone can be the target of a terrorist act.

“It touches everyone no matter who you are,” he said.

Muslims are supposed to be peaceful, he said, and those who committed the attack on the embassy in Yemen only smear that view.

“They say they do this for a cause, but there is no cause,” he said. “A cause is when you sit down and talk, not when you kill millions and millions of people, now including my sister among them. What is the cause for that?” “

These people sent their daughter to Yemen for an arranged marriage. They were at the US Embassy applying for him to be permitted into the USA

She was the daughter of Ali T. Elbaneh and the niece of Mohamed T. Albanna, they both took plea deals in a case involving an unlicensed money transmitting company that sent $5.5 million to Yemen. Lackawanna is far to close to my town for comfort.

It’s all very suspicious and coincidental, isn’t it?

Not really a target, terrorists don't really have targets, they just like to blow things up and hurt people. They live in the hellhole third world, and have no hope at all, even Obama can't give tem hope for change, and so they blow things up to alleviate the boredom. It sucks to be blown up by co-religionists, huh? I wonder whether or not the sister and her husband were violating some Sharia thing by holding hands.

For about 17 yrs I worked all over the ME and saw so many things that relate to the islamanazis. Id come home occasionally and people would ask “what’s it like?” Id tell them ..they looked at me like I was crazy. I, like most expats at the time(20yrs ago)just kept things to ourselves.

Met people, knew people, and heard all the stories associatied with these ragheads. American girls marrying these vile and going off to paradise in their heads. But they soon find out....other wifes...family members start beating the crap out of them daily. Eventually the womans own kids start beating her.

Knew of two that committed suicide and just heard stories of others.

But now things are coming out in the open and Americans are seeing the pure evil of islam. Still a long ways to go as we will occasionally see a post that goes like....”well I have some muslim friends and they are ok.....” or similar BS.

The islamic choice is clear..convert or die. I fight back.

Well, to be fair, you can't pick your relatives.

But you can pick your immigrants, and I would like to see the quotas from the Middle East filled with persecuted Christians, not Muslim Somalis and Yemenis whose inclinations are NOT to be America-loving assests to our country.
