A Muslim woman has admitted to mailing a bloody pig’s foot and a threatening letter to Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), as well as another bizarre package to a New York state senator.

The woman, Jameela Barnette, of Marietta, Ga., says she sent the package to King earlier this month to voice her dismay with the hearing he held last month on what he calls the “radicalization” of American Muslims.

[Nachum]

Ah, those Amish- always causing trouble.

[OldDeckHand]

She’s just admitted to breaking about a half-dozen (or more) federal laws.

The problem isn’t the Amish. It’s those Ultra-Orthodox Jewish guys with their wide-brimmed hats. So many unfortunate moments because people mistook them for cowboys...

[Arm_Bears]

Is this woman a US citizen?

If so, prosecute her to the full extent of the law.

If not, why is she here?

[Loyal Buckeye]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t her actions prove King right?

DUH this clown sends proof of her radicalization and stupidity....

When I was in High School someone mailed a dead Buzzard to the Dean.

Love the irony.

Make her eat the pig’s foot in front of a mosque.

Oy Vey!

[dblshot]

So the way to show Muslims are not radical is to send a pigs foot to a Congressman. Yep, that’ll work.

[bigfootbob]

Darn, when I saw the headline, it made me think pickled pig’s feet...mmmgoood.

Another example of liberal tolerance. We conservatives need to wake up and realize that we are engaged in a war. A war for our personal freedom and what our founders wanted for all Americans. The liberals are already in the fight (union protests, threatening political leaders) so we better get into the mindset that this is a battle.

Infidel!

I’m just wondering what she did with the rest of the pig!?

[Starstruck]

Where’s the bottle of beer (obscure reference)

[camle]

she coulda just as well send a horse’s ass to obama

[BigEdLB]

I think she was watching too many episodes of `The Sopranos`, or maybe `Godfather I` too many times.

Jameela Barnette is a Muslim. Huh, whoda thunk it?

------------------------------

Both the email and the package appear to come from a woman named Jameela Barnette in Mariette, Georgia. She lists her phone number in the email.

FOX23 News contacted Barnette by phone on Tuesday night. She says she is a grandmother who read about Ball on the Internet.

She told FOX23 News that she is a Muslim and is upset with the hearings that Ball is conducting in his role as chairman of the State Senate’s Homeland Security Committee.

FOX23 News asked her why she sent Ball the email and package and she responded “to let him know how I felt about his racist hearings.”

Barnette responds, “He’s vulnerable! He keeps messing with Muslims. Muslims have not been harassing anyone.”
