The problem with dating the Night of Al-Qadr is that Muslims sources vary. Someone cited one making it to be the 25th, 27th or 29th night of Ramadan. I've found others which say any odd numbered night in the last 10 of Ramadan could be it.

The full moon reference is strange, since there is never a full moon on Al-Qadr, which always falls, regardless of what Muslim scholar the terrorists are using to date it, during the waning phase of the moon.

Dawn following an odd numbered night of Ramandan this year would be 8 Nov or 10 Nov. (Unless the observational start of Ramadan--it's based not on a calendar, but on seeing the waxing crescent for the first time--shifted it a day.) This fits with the timing suggested in the 'three lamps east, two lamps west' post on the Tips the EarthX And She bled thread at Sweetislam.

I hope the FBI and Texas Rangers are on this. If you have more analyses, send them to them. Sure the thread could be a honey pot, and the real strike will be somewhere else, but I've got the sense these jihadis aren't the sharpest tools in the shed. (I mean, if I were trying to send secret messages online, not even the NSA could find or read them.)

There is supposed to be a new moon on November 12th. So maybe they are saying full moon but really meaning the new moon...
