Las Vegas Sun ^ | 09JAN11 | Jackie Valley

Metro Police late Tuesday seized about $98,000 worth of khat — a psychoactive drug with ties to the Middle East and Africa — that officials worry is gaining popularity in the United States.......... Officials across the country have noticed more khat seizures as immigration from Somalia has increased, but it's not exclusive to Somalia, Chavez said. Yemenese and Middle Eastern immigrants also have been known to possess khat, he said.

"We have noticed that the Somali nationals here in Las Vegas have been in possession of this khat on a more than average basis," he said.

All of these Khat-chewing koranimals should be considered a major threat to our national security. They cruise around Dar-al-Harb, high as a kite, in their Taxis (Aka-Technical Vehicles) learning everything that any Cell would LOVE to know concerning Targets of Opportunity w/o drawing any major attention. Under this guise, they have access to the softest of all targets (people & infrastructure) & this is another recipe for disaster yet to unfold. They are the best recon scouts for urban warfare.

Oh for eff’s sake!

Everything I’ve read or heard about that silly herb states it is no stronger than chewing tobacco, betel nut, or coca leaf.

It gives a slight buzz, big whoop.

I know that in the A-rab world it is sometimes inveighed against because the menfolk tend to sit around chewing the stuff rather than working.

Profiling for khat.

Yep. The only American born cabbie that I had in Washington DC verified that our "betters" would discuss any matter of state in a cab as if the cabbie wasn't even there.

Well, read Black Hawk Down.

All the soldier’s statements concerning khat, its’ influence on the Somalis they were fighting & its’ effect on the fighters they were shooting.

A slight buzz..my a$$.

Selling this illegal narcotic funds AQ & AL-Shabaab in Africa. Using it while driving a taxi & ignoring it’s effects are all illegal on too many levels. It represents another threat to our national security. As far as Vegas is concerned, it is becoming problematic as the somalis push this drug to the locals & that’s another problem we don’t need in our cities.

Pass it off for “eff’s sake”, if you’d like but it’s all part of funding the WOT.

That’s a MASSIVE DEAL. They are funding the WOT.

Hmmm, it might become fashionable with the hipsters and provide a revenue stream for the terror-funders. That is a possibility.

As for Black Hawk Down. Everything I’ve read over the years tells me that, throughout history, drugging soldiers may make them fearless but it also makes them stupid and easy to shoot.

Khat is another revenue stream for funding the terrorist Hell bent on destroying America. This koranimal is a terrorist financier, & I’m glad he was busted but there are many more driving their cabs around chewing this crap while putting innocent peoples lives in danger right now.
(Goolge moslem cab drivers & accidents for more examples)
These Cab-drivers from muzzie countries are not moderates & this is just another case to prove that they are not lawful citizens. They are in Dar-al-Harb on a mission & the Cab-Fare they’re charging us will be more than we can afford or “absorb”.
