"In the name of allah most merciful" it did not sit well with me.

Wow, I've never heard Ijaz say that kind of thing. He's slowly revealing his true colors.

I think he knows the game is up.

"And, I'm telling you that it is creating a basement that is going to retaliate against the American people..."

I heard Ijaz say this, but couldn't pinpoint who's going to be in that basement and just what the heck they are going to retaliate against me for.

Did anyone else get what he was talking/warning about?

I heard Ijaz doing that the other night; 3 times during a 10-minute discussion. It gave me the willies.

'...Bill O'Reilly said that if he was innocent, Al Arian should be fully exhonerated and given full backpay....'

I thought he was still on paid leave.

I like Ijaz but telling the truth is telling the truth. Anyone scared of that is not to be coddled or catered to.

This isnt WWII Germany or Modern day France. If someone works hard and isnt out to "KILL AND MURDER" Americans, than I dont see what they have to worry about. We have a legal system that protects innocent people. It isnt perfect and we dont walk on water but to imply that legitimate, hard working, good will Muslims are being forced underground because someone like O'Reilly is telling the truth concerning Islam, is wrong and a crutch for someone else's internal conviction [and fear that flows from it].

I imagine Ijaz has been threatened pretty badly. But caving to them won't help him.

There is no compelling reason to keep importing this risk group, Muslims, into the country. No reason whatsoever. This nonsense should have stopped the afternoon of Sept 11, 2001.

You know, I feel the same way. He has changed. The first thought that came into my head was that he reminded me of Ritter. I even wondered if he could be on Saddam's payroll. I shouldn't go that far, but the thought came to me.

If you read this thread, you come away with my reaction to this segment of the O'Reilly Factor: confusion. I could not make out what O'Reilly and Ijaz were debating. The gist of it just never came out clearly but the Arab guy was genuinely hot and O'Reilly cold which was quite the turnabout.
My tolerance level for threats from Muslim passed critical mass a loooonnnnnnnnggggggggggggggg time ago.

Ijaz is not an Arab-- he looks Indian or South Pakistani.

"Ijaz is not an Arab-- he looks Indian or South Pakistani."

Profile of a SAJAer:
Mansoor Ijaz
Financier, Op-Ed Columnist, and Television Commentator

Mansoor Ijaz is founder and chairman of The Crescent Partnerships, a family of New York investment partnerships between Ijaz, Lt. Gen. James Abrahamson (USAF Ret), former director of President Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative, and Turkey's Global Group, a major Abu Dhabi investment group and the heir of a prominent European shipping family. Former CIA Director, Amb. James Woolsey, serves as vice chairman of Crescent's Board of Governors.

Crescent specializes in the use of quantitative modeling techniques to manage investment portfolios. Crescent's MENARA family of private equity funds, currently in formation, focuses on three strategic investment sectors: national security technologies, including internet security, satellite imaging and air and seaport cargo security, telecommunications, and real estate acquisitions. The firm is headquartered in New York with partner offices in London, Abu Dhabi and Ankara. Ijaz founded Crescent in 1991.

Ijaz received his SM degree in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1985 where he trained as a neuro-mechanical engineer in the joint MIT-Harvard Medical School Medical Engineering Medical Physics Program. He received his bachelor's degree Magna Cum Laude from the University of Virginia in 1983, where he majored in Physics. He has applied the extensive modeling experience he
gained at MIT and Harvard to develop The CARAT System, Crescent's proprietary currency, interest rate and equity risk management system.

Away from Crescent's daily business affairs, Ijaz is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and appears frequently on a variety of financial and political news programs for CNN, CNN International, Fox News, BBC, Germany's RDF TV, Japan's NHK, ABC, NBC, MSNBC and CNBC. He has commented for Public Broadcasting System's Newshour with Jim Lehrer and ABC News Nightline with Ted Koppel, and served as Foreign Affairs and Terrorism Analyst for Fox News during 2002.

Ijaz has been featured twice in BARRON'S Currency Roundtable discussions. He has also contributed to the editorial pages of London's Financial Times, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, The International Herald Tribune, Newsweek International, The Christian Science Monitor, USA Today and the Times of India.

As a private American citizen, Ijaz negotiated Sudan's counterterrorism offer to the Clinton administration in April 1997 and proposed the framework for a ceasefire of hostilities between Indian security forces and Kashmiri separatists in the disputed Kashmir region in August 2000.

Ijaz's father, the late Dr. Mujaddid Ahmed Ijaz, a prominent American physicist, was an early pioneer in developing the intellectual infrastructure of Pakistan's nuclear program. Ijaz earned All-American weightlifting status while attending the University of Virginia. Born in Florida in 1961 and raised in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, Ijaz lives in New York City today with his family.

He appears to be of Indian descent?

That would explain his comments about getting the imams "out in the open."

Correction - make that Pakistani descent:

"Ijaz's father, the late Dr. Mujaddid Ahmed Ijaz, a prominent American physicist, was an early pioneer in developing the intellectual infrastructure of Pakistan's nuclear program."

It is still unclear as to his religious persuasions.

The guy's a "spook".

Each time Ijaz speaks on Fox it seems to me he is passing on instructions to Muslim sleepers which appear to the rest of us as dire "what-if" scenarios or probable terrorist plots he has gotten wind of through his "excellent sources" buried deep in the Muslim world. Ijaz is not what he appears to be.
