ARKANSAS' LONE JIHADIST: HOW ALONE IS HE? - By Walid Phares

Excerpt:

In an armed attack outside the Army-Navy Career Center which handles recruiting, in Little Rock, AR, Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, 23, killed one soldier wounded another.

Muhammad, an American citizen who is a convert to Islam and previously known as Carlos Bledsoe, already had been under investigation by the FBI at the time of the shootings. He had traveled to Yemen, received indoctrination from radical clerics, according to a watch group, and possessed a false Somali passport.

He was charged in the death of Pvt. William Long, 23, while a prosecutor said Muhammad admitted shooting Long and another soldier "because of what they had done to Muslims in the past."

Here we have a new case of an individual U.S. citizen who committed an act of terror in the name of his ideology (Government officials have called it inaccurately a "political and religious motive") against U.S. military targets.

Do we see a pattern here? Are we witnessing a repeat and copycats?

In fact, as we review several previous cases, from the Miami cell case, to the Fort Dix Six, the Georgia two, the New York Four, the Virginia Paintball network, and many other cases, we're witnessing the surge of a phenomenon we have been warning about.

I have repeatedly coined it Mutant Jihad, including in my book Future Jihad.

Two important elements are to be taken into consideration: One is the fact that in many of these cases, U.S. military personnel and targets have been on the short list of these "homegrown terrorists."

If you study the repeated targeting process of these urban Jihadists, they systematically focus on military deployment inside the United States. In a sense, even as the perpetrators are separate, dispersed, and not connected, their targeting seems war-like: attacking the enemy's forces on the homeland.

The second element to be taken into consideration is the clear fact that in all these cases, without exception, we're seeing one ideology: Jihadism. Despite various levels of understanding and sophistication, the cells and lone wolves who were involved in the terror acts, legitimized their action under the label of "Jihad."

In several media interviews and defense and security workshops conducted over the past few years and months, I've made the case for the existence of a "force" behind these activities, pushing the Jihadi agenda and indoctrinating the "militants" into "fighting elements."

As I studied the cases and compared them to each other, I found out that in each one case, there is a "clicking moment." Several U.S. and European legislators asked me about defining the "clicking moment" where a militant becomes a terrorist.

My answer has been and continues to be:

once one is indoctrinated into Jihadism, the mutation into a terrorist is at the discretion of the militant. We need to stop the terrorists at the indoctrination level.

Pathetic, Obama! I wrote to the White House, stating the need to express outrage at this slaughter ... he's the CIC! I urge all to do the same.

Amazon Book Review:
"Vastly Illuminating!" September 25, 2004
By Kat Bakhu

"I had long wondered why people on the Left had the propensity to speak more positively about people who would slit their throats than they do about their own country, which affords them more freedom and opportunity than anywhere else. David Horowitz has answered that question thoroughly and convincingly in his Unholy Alliance. Where I felt bewildered and confused, I now feel crystal clear. Unholy Alliance is such a great book.

It begins with the leftist movements at the beginning of the 20th Century, and works its way up to the present day, exploring the anti-American attitude of these movements in detail. Horowitz shows that the enemies of the US back then are largely the same group today, operating under the same misperceptions, making the same mistakes, and pursuing the same impossible utopia.

Individual chapters are included on the Patriot Act (I was persuaded that it is a GOOD thing); the democratic flip-flop on Iraq once G.W. Bush implemented what they agreed with Clinton needed to be done; the driving components of the current anti-war movement; as well as chapters on individual personalities who are major spokespeople of the Left. Horowitz covers a lot of ground, and he covers it concisely and clearly. Unholy Alliance is richly informative without ever being boring or plodding.

This book is so illuminating that I simply cannot do justice to it here. I love people who reason so clearly that they help me get my own reasoning clear. Horowitz is just that type of person! In the terrain of mindless clichés (no-blood-for-oil, etc.), he is a breath of real fresh air."

Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left -by David Horowitz
Not all dissent is equal, and Americans whose actions are calculated to give aide and comfort to the butchers who murdered 3,000 innocent people on September 11, 2001 are not patriotic at all... they are, in fact, quite the opposite.

~~PING!

God bless and protect our brave military.

It’s simple enough: The White House doesn’t want to offend Muslims. Will eonough noise be made so that they have to reverse their position? I guess we’ll have to see, but I doubt it.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

When will the media REPORT we were attacked the other day via a terrorist via the recruiting shooting?

The abortion doctor killer was a militiaman and not part of a Christian anti-abortion group, has the media lost interest in the story? The story has already disappeared from the "top stories" section of the MSM pages!

It seems like the media were all over the story until it was learned that the murderer was not part of a Christian group. Now they don't seem so interested anymore.

The recruiting shooting is being ignored. Anybody else notice this?

The contrast between the attack-dog “reporting” of the Tiller shooting and the sugar-coated non-reporting of the Little Rock attack could not be starker. I wonder what force of fate scheduled these two events for consecutive days. They offer, among other things, a case study in media bias.

[sirjohn]

Why can’t he be tried for treason? - a legal reason not a political reason please. Thank you.

[jesseam]

From obama’s actions and words the conclusion is that he shares the same belief system of tiller and of the muslum terrorist who gunned down two innocent soldiers. God Help the United States.

[opaque soul]

Abortion and its performers are a politically protected enterprise to be protected at any cost... the military, its members and families are merely political pawns, expendable and to be used for political point scoring.

[onedoug]

The Commander In Chief of the Armed Forces has more important things to do...
from his islamocommucrat perspective.

[RobinOfKingston]

..why the White House didn't put out a statement responding to the shooting at a military recruitment ...

It would have cost "the White House" nothing to do so, therefore one must conclude it was not done intentionally. "The White House" will go out of its way to disrespect and denigrate anything traditionally American, anything of moral and ethical standing. The White House, the real White House, will eventually need an exorcism.

[Le Chien Rouge]

How soon before Hollywood starts making a movie or celebrities start campaigning for the release of Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad claiming he was a victim of RACIAL US policies.???

[Billthedrill]

I feel certain that Brian Williams, that noted, tough critic of 0bama, will grill him about the matter as soon as he stops genuflecting.

[Tzimisce]

Oh I’m sorry, what’s the story here? More anti-Muslim bigotry? You little people need to really need to get over your prejudices.

-your friends in the media

Isn't carrying a false passport a federal crime? And doesn't the Yemeni connection put him in CIA jurisdiction?

I hope the families of these amazing soldiers demand to know why this guy wasn't picked up instead of just being "observed".
