ALL ABOUT ADAM GADAHN (Latest American Al Qaeda)
MichelleMalkin.com ^ | 10/27/2004 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 10/27/2004 10:50:04 AM PDT by Fatalis

The Drudge scoop today is about alleged American al Qaeda Adam Gadahn. Here are some handy background links:

-The FBI bulletin

-Gadahn's Muslim manifesto posted on a USC website

-Debbie Schlussel's report on Gadahn's radical imam

-More on the Islamic Society of Orange County at Little Green Footballs

-Blogger Jon at Right Side Redux did some poking around into Gadahn's past work for a little e-zine called Xenocide here

-Robert Spencer reports on The New Face of al Qaeda

-And before the anti-profiling absolutists start using Gadahn as their new poster boy, note that the FBI says he was just one member of a Khalid Sheikh Mohammed-hatched plot to blow up gas stations in the Baltimore area. The lead conspirator in the plot was Pakistani Majid Khan --a relative of convicted Pakistani al Qaeda operative Iyman Faris--who was sentenced last fall for his role in plotting to sabotage the Brooklyn bridge

Didn't see this posted yet. Good links about Adam Pearlman, who may be involved with the Al Qaeda terror tape held by ABC, as reported by Drudge.

Here's another:

http://lacitybeat.com/article.php?id=1212&IssueNum=66 ---snip

At around age 15, Adam moved out, changed his name back to Pearlman, and stayed with his grandparents in Santa Ana, presumably – among other things – to watch television and not have to shower out in the woods in the dark. What kid wouldn’t? He then became so obsessed by death metal that, as he writes in “Becoming Muslim,” he “didn’t clean his room” for a year.

According to his sister, Los Angeles environmentalist Nancy Pearlman, their father was a strong opponent of the Vietnam War. She told CNN, “Our family are strong believers in non-violence. We are strong believers in peace.”

Another member of the lunatic left has crossed over to the real dark side, the side of the Islamofascists.

May he stop breathing soon.

Makes one wonder if this Islamofascists might have been involved in the California school plans ending up in Iraq.

I would bet that he was a pampered JINO, and not a former Christian as the article noted.

There is a emerging pattern here among (white, at least) american jihadist converts - hippie parents.

Yep. "children" of hippie parents, there does seem to be a pattern, witness Johnie Taliban, Marin County.

In another twixt in this article I urled: Adam Pearlman was homeschooled.

However, I have known a number of Muslim families in the area in CA I used to live in: many homeschooled. However, many also attended pub ed replete with headscarves. I'm just hedging here -- and bringing this up -- no doubt knowing the MSM would love to beat the tar out of "homeschooling" families.

Almost stranger than that:

Gadahn was home-schooled at the family farm in Riverside County. He did not attend college. Omar said the family was a "more or less Christian household, but no one was particularly religious."

Omar said he doesn't know why his brother converted to Islam. But a statement attributed to Adam Gadahn on several Muslim-related Web sites said he "gradually realized I could not be a Christian."

U.S. Qaeda Suspect's Troubled Past

"More or less Christian," but they named one of their sons Omar?

I don't know about 100% of the time, but sometimes it is yes.

I know Gadahn converted to Islam from the news alerts about him.
