Second American female convert to Islam arrested in plot to kill Motoonist
(WALL STREET JOURNAL, March 13, 2010) via JIHAD WATCH.org ^ | March 12, 2010 | Posted by Robert

SNIPPET: “..."For the Love of Islam: A Second American Woman Is Arrested in Cartoonist Case,” by Vanessa O’Connell, Stephanie Simon and Evan Perez in the Wall Street Journal, March 13..."

Last Easter, Jamie Paulin-Ramirez, a 31-year-old mom with a $30,000-a-year job as a medical assistant, announced to her family that she had converted to Islam. A few months later, she began posting to Facebook forums whose headings included “STOP caLLing MUSLIMS TERRORISTS!””

SNIPPET: “On Sept. 11, she suddenly left Leadville, Colo., a small town in the Rocky Mountains, for Denver, then for New York, to meet and marry a Muslim man she connected with online, her family says. Ms. Paulin-Ramirez, who is 5-foot-11 and blonde, phoned her mother and stepfather in Leadville, providing them with an address in Waterford, Ireland, they say.”

SNIPPET: “In 2008 or 2009, Mr. Mott said, Ms. Paulin-Ramirez enrolled in an online course about Islam.”

SNIPPET: “By Easter 2009, she had informed her mother that she was a Muslim. At her father’s May 2009 funeral in Kansas, her aunts had to plead with her not to cover her head and hair with a hijab. Over the summer, her family says, she was spending increasing time on the computer and had begun to dress in the traditional garb, covering not only her hair and face but also her hands. Her current Facebook page lists her as Jamie Paulin, with a photo in which all that is visible are her eyes peering from slits in her full-face veil. [...]

A few months before she disappeared, her stepfather says he confronted her: “What are you going to do, strap a bomb on and blow up something?” he asked her. He recalled that she responded: “If necessary, yes.” [...]

If necessary.”

“Ms. Paulin-Ramirez’s interest in Islam “came out of left field,””
Obviously a woman with no brains and no selfconfidence.
Give ‘em all a fair trial then hang ‘em.

The more Muslims we let into this country, the more crazy things like this are going to happen. Muslims are proselytizers. Many of them won’t be happy until Islam has spread over the entire globe. They will seek to convert more and more Americans to their support their vicious jihad, and unfortunately there are always going to be at least a few wacko Americans who will follow them.

She became Muslim well before she arranged to marry this guy, and apparently almost immediately started wearing the complete head and body covering (she even covered her hands) and verbally attacking non-Muslims. The problem is not the men, the problem is Islam.

I read the full article, and one of the disturbing things was that her stepfather, a 60ish, normal-seeming man from Colorado, is also a convert to Islam. He’s apparently not radical.

I really don’t understand the attraction, but unfortunately, it seems as if these people don’t really need to be proselytized by anybody. The woman herself became a Muslim after taking a college class on it. As for the step-father, I have no idea what prompted him to do this.

Last year, my daughter in law converted to Judaism. If she had converted to islam, she would not be welcome in my home.

If my wife decided she wanted to convert, “fine, what is your new address so I can forward your mail?”

IMHO, muslims are never to be trusted. I have to work with some, and they are generally OK in an office environment in Houston.

That’s right.

The jihad is global including here in the USA.

“Irish Authorities Release American Woman Arrested in Terror Plot”
March 13, 2010

SNIPPET: “SNIPPET: “DENVER — An American woman and three others arrested in Ireland over an alleged plot to assassinate Swedish artist Lars Vilks have been freed without charge, Irish police said Saturday.

Seven people — including the American woman, three Algerians, a Libyan, a Palestinian and a Croatian — were arrested Tuesday in Ireland. Irish police said three others who were also arrested remained in custody and were being questioned.

In Leadville, Colo., Christine Mott identified the American woman held in Ireland as her daughter, 31-year-old Jamie Paulin-Ramirez. Christine Mott said she was informed of Paulin-Ramirez’s arrest by the FBI and other federal law enforcement agencies.

Irish police refused to confirm whether Paulin-Ramirez is the woman released and have declined to release the identities of any of those arrested.”

“American Linked to Terror Plot ‘Lost Her Mind’”
Saturday, March 13, 2010

LEADVILLE, Colorado —

SNIPPET: “Jamie Paulin-Ramirez also began talking about Jihad with her Muslim stepfather and spent most of her time online as she withdrew from her family, Mott said.”

SNIPPET: “A U.S. official, who was not authorized to discuss the investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity, said Saturday that Paulin-Ramirez had been detained in Ireland in connection with an alleged plot to kill a Swedish cartoonist who had offended many Muslims.

Irish police said later Saturday that they had released without charge an American woman, who they didn’t identify, and three others arrested in Ireland over an alleged plot to assassinate the cartoonist, Lars Vilks.”

“No cartoon: Leadville woman, 31, freed in plot”

By TRACY HARMON
THE PUEBLO CHIEFTAIN

LEADVILLE —

SNIPPET: “The last time Mrs. Mott said she had spoken to her daughter, Sept. 11, she reported her daughter told her she had been in Denver praying.

Mrs. Mott told police she and her daughter had been fighting after Paulin-Ramirez had decided on Easter that she was going to become a Muslim.

Paulin-Ramirez began to wear a scarf and spend an “excessive amount of time on the Internet speaking to someone named Alley,” according to Thomas’ report. Mrs. Mott feared that her daughter was headed to New York to meet Alley, an Algerian man, who said he was coming to America to become a pilot. She also voiced fears that it was her, and not her daughter, who was Christian’s primary caregiver and was afraid the boy would not be accepted into the Muslim community.

Mrs. Mott told Thomas that it was, “very out of character” for her daughter to disappear, giving up a job she had held for more than two years at Vail Valley Medical, where she was a medical assistant.”

“Four Released in Ireland Terror Case”
By NEIL SHAH and VANESSA O’CONNELL

SNIPPET: “WATERFORD, Ireland — Irish police said on Saturday evening they have released all three women who were among seven individuals arrested earlier this week in connection with an alleged plot to murder a Swedish cartoonist.

They were released and not charged, police said.”

SNIPPET: “”The three remaining people in custody are males,” and are being held in the Tramore and Waterford stations, a spokesman for the Irish police said. Police also confirmed for the first time Sunday morning that a U.S. citizen had been among those in custody.

The released individuals could still face charges down the road. A report for each of those arrested will be submitted to a director of public prosecutions, who can then decide whether the suspect should be re-arrested and charged. This process could take “a matter of weeks,” the spokesman said.

A release of Ms. Paulin-Ramirez raises the question of whether she will now be deported.”

SNIPPET: “The U.S. national, a woman, was believed to be in a relationship with one of the other males, an Algerian, this source had said.”

“U.S. Woman Released in Terror Case”

By NEIL SHAH in Waterford, Ireland, VANESSA O’CONNELL in New York and EVAN PEREZ in Washington

SNIPPET: “U.S. officials are still investigating what role Ms. Paulin-Ramirez may have played in the purported plot against the cartoonist, according to people close to the situation.

Investigators are still looking into her Internet contacts to determine whether Ms. Paulin-Ramirez was an active participant in the alleged plot or just swept up in the probe by virtue of being in touch with others charged.”

SNIPPET: “The Justice Department said it wouldn’t confirm her identity. There are no U.S. charges pending against her and her status in Ireland is unclear.”

SNIPPET: “The police have sought and been granted an extension on the three remaining males in custody, including an Algerian man, which means they can be held until Tuesday.”
