I’m not being “PC”. He sure seems to have *become* a crazed jihadist, but when and why? If working at Walter Reed tends to turn ordinary Muslims into crazed jihadists, we need to do some serious investigating of what’s going on at Walter Reed. And if he was already a crazed jihadist when he got to Walter Reed, why didn’t he go for the high profile target? Doing a massacre at Fort Hood when you had the opportunity to do a massacre at Walter Reed, is liking flying a plane into a Bank of America branch location, when you could have flown a plane into the World Trade Center. Just doesn’t fit the crazed jihadist MO.
Weird as hell that he was a Virginia Tech grad. I don’t really think there’s anything wrong with the school, but can’t think of any other US college that’s produced TWO mass-murdering maniacs. And really, his resume looks very ordinary for a physician, though I’d be interested to know what he did during the extra two years between his college graduation and med school graduation (probably military service, as that’s a common route into the Uniformed Services med school).
Since he attended the Uniformed Services med school, the military has had a looooooong time to observe this guy and see if something was amiss. Instead, it appears that he’d been in the military for 10 years, before anyone noticed he was showing jihadist tendencies? Did he develop them while in the military, and if so, who was he associating with? Or were they there all along and a huge array of military personnel who should have noticed this were asleep at the wheel?
These are serious questions that need to be investigated and answered, if we’re going to head off repeat performances by other jihadists lurking in the military.
She is survived by her three sons, Nidal , Anas, and Eyad; her parents; six sisters; two brothers; 29 nieces and nephews; 2 great-nieces; and scores of extended family. She will be greatly missed by all those who knew her. Funeral services and prayers will be held May 31 at Dar Al Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church at 1 p.m.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ In February 2001, El-Mezain and Aulaqi arranged for American Muslims to go on an “executive-package” trip to the Saudi holy land through a travel agency in Falls Church, Va., a connection also revealed in “Infiltration.” The trip itinerary I obtained lists Aulaqi as the “Imam on Trip,” with El-Mezain acting as trip adviser.
El-Mezain and Aulaqi moved in the same circles in San Diego.
Before his recent arrest, El-Mezain headed the San Diego office of alleged Hamas front Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development and, like Aulaqi, served as a leader in local mosques there. Aulaqi preached in a San Diego mosque for four years before moving in January 2001 to Falls Church,
Va., to lead prayers at Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Center, the largest mosque in the Washington, D.C., area.

Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Center, which tax records show has received large donations from the Islamic Relief Organization, is a Muslim Brotherhood bastion. Another former imam and current prayer leader, for example, is an admitted Brotherhood member from the Sudan. The mosque’s deed was signed by an Alamoudi crony who has admitted participating in the Brotherhood’s “Ikhwan” movement in America.
Dar al-Hijrah is a turnstile for terrorists and terror suspects. A prayer leader, Sheikh Mohammed al-Hanooti, was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the first World Trade Center bombing. Other dubious mosque members have included: Alamoudi, Abdullah bin Laden, Osama’s nephew; Hamas leader and fugitive Mousa Abu Marzook and his partners Ismail Elbarasse and Abdelhaleem Ashqar, who was convicted of obstruction of justice in February; convicted Virginia Jihad Network leader Randall “Ismail” Royer, a former CAIR official; and Ahmed Omar Abu Ali, an al-Qaida operative recently convicted of plotting to assassinate President Bush.
Leaders of the mosque rallied around Ali, calling the trial a Zionist “witch hunt,” even after it became obvious he was guilty.
What’s more, the phone number to the mosque was found in the German apartment of Ramzi bin al-Shibh, roommate of 9/11 ringleader Mohamed Atta. Atta’s deputy “emir” in the “raid” on America, Nawaf al-Hazmi, worshipped at Dar al-Hijrah, along with the pilot who crashed the plane into the Pentagon.
Back to mosque leader Esam Omeish, the “American patriot.” Court records I’ve obtained show he put his home up for bond collateral in 2004 to help spring from jail a terrorist suspect who was caught allegedly casing the Chesapeake bridge for attack. His dubious pal Ismail Elbarasse is a founding member of Dar al-Hijrah.
Oh, stuff it! You have no idea what you are talking about, except that obviously you love to hear the sound of your own typing.
