The Threat Matrix

The title refers to a daily report given to the president of the United States detailing the most serious terrorist threats against the country. To tackle those threats, the government has formed a top-notch task force to infiltrate the terror cells and cut off the danger.

"Every morning, the president receives a list of the top ten terrorist threats - this list is known as the threat matrix."

We here at FR are trying to be in conjunction with the daily reports around the world that involve threats. We try to provide a storehouse of information that takes hours of research.

YOU be the judge and get informed!

Dozens rejected at border
1/21/05

OTTAWA (AP) — Dozens of people from Canada have been turned back at the U.S. border or prevented from boarding U.S.-bound airplanes in recent months because of suspected links to terrorism, sensitive U.S. government documents show.

The incidents are detailed in a series of daily briefs published between September and this month by the Department of Homeland Security’s operations center. They contain no classified information but are generally intended to remain secret.

Terror U.
By Joe Kaufman
FrontPageMagazine.com | January 21, 2005

Prelude

One year ago, I wrote a piece exposing radical Islam within Florida Atlantic University (FAU). My goal was twofold: [1] to bring awareness concerning a growing problem within FAU [2] to push the university to take action so that this problem ceases to exist.

Unfortunately, only the first part of my goal was accomplished, as FAU is continuing to allow radicals on its campus, the latest being this Saturday’s (Jan.22, 2005) return engagement of potential co-conspirator to the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, Siraj Wahhaj.

The Enemy Thrives at FAU

In recent times, a fairly large list of Islamist radicals and/or those that sympathize with the Islamist cause have passed through the university.

This list includes professors that the university had itself hired to teach its students (two of which still teach there).

Professors such as:

Mustafa Abu Sway, who was discovered to have had numerous ties to the terrorist organization HAMAS

Khalid Hamza, who had used a Texas A & M internet forum to defend Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Sami Al-Arian

Bassem Alhalabi, who was found guilty of exporting a $13,000 thermal imaging device to Syria Imadeldin “Imad” Mahgoub, who was featured on a panel discussion with HAMAS fundraiser Raed Awad

At least one FAU student, Syed Khawer Ahmad, was found to have played a role in the world of radical Islam. While Ahmad was attending classes at FAU, he was the webmaster of the homepage for the Islamic Society, the Palestinian group that spawned HAMAS.

The final bunch are those that were invited by the FAU Muslim Student Organization (MSO) to speak on campus. This is the same MSO that created two Islamic centers in Boca Raton, one of which houses two “religious leaders” that have been accused of having direct ties to terrorist organizations.

The guest lecturers included:

Rafil Dhafir, the past Vice Chairman of the Islamic Assembly of North America (IANA), who was convicted of raising money for terrorist organizations through an Iraqi children’s charity called Help the Needy

Al-Haaj Ghazi Khankan, the Executive Director of the New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), who is quoted as having pledged his support for the HAMAS and Hezbollah terrorist groups

Kathy Kelly, the co-founder of Voices in the Wilderness, who served time in a federal prison for trespassing onto the Ft. Benning military base in Georgia

William Baker, who has been described by many as a “neo-Nazi” for his hate-filled writings and his involvement in a white-supremacist organization

[Cindy]

I understand.

[MamaDearest]

I'm sure he will be sliced and diced...

Hopefully the slicing and dicing prevents discovery of any serious problem later. A scandal later would undoubtedly dig more than dirt. The (DUs) would rather backstab, create chaos and spew ugliness out of their mouths, cameras and keyboards.

 Something's Wrong with this Picture!
U.S. Publishers Won't Release Book on Internet Terror by Albuquerque Cyber Terror Investigator but Doubleday to Publish Novel by al Qaida Member

 

     It looks like the al-Qaida terrorist network has discovered a new way to make money: by writing novels.

 

     As the terror war rages on, newsmax.com reported (www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2005/1/21/155100.shtml), besides killing and capturing terrorists, the U.S. has busted up a number of prior al-Qaida funding mechanisms, including the freezing of suspected assets in banks around the world. The latter actions, say U.S. intelligence officials, have left the group a little strapped for cash.

 

     But thanks to publisher Doubleday, Egyptian Ayman al-Zawahiri (founder of the terror group the Egyptian Islamic Jihad) - al-Qaida's main man in Iraq - has a book deal on the horizon.

 

     Zawahiri's book is expected to generate plenty of controversy, but Doubleday is sticking by its decision to publish it, newsmax.com reported. "We firmly believe we're doing a great service to America by publishing the innermost thoughts of our gravest enemy," said Stephen Rubin, president and publisher of Bertelsmann's Doubleday Broadway Publishing Group, according to the Wall Street Journal.

 

     "We knew there would be many responses, but the overriding issue is to get these writings to a wide audience," he said.
 
     Joy Junction Director and Writer Jeremy Reynalds said he is disgusted. "Does Mr. Rubin honestly think that we are going to get the ‘innermost thoughts' of our gravest enemy? This is pitiful! Would his company be as interested in publishing my book on Internet terror which exposes what's going on and what the public can do to combat this terrible scourge? I doubt it! Maybe the reason is profit!"

 

     Reynalds said, "Unless it is successfully understood and its dangers fully realized, internet terrorism has the potential to serve as an effective communications tool for militant Islamic fundamentalists and could eventually end up destroying our American way of life. War on the Net: Internet Terrorism, Government Apathy, and Your Family's Vulnerability and What You Can do to Help will explore this timely issue, showing what internet terrorism is, the devastating effects it could have on America, Europe and our families, and what each of us can do to help combat this real and fast growing threat."

 


Revelations.


The following are some of the revelations of "War on the Net."  The book:

 


1.  Answers the question, "What is Internet terrorism?"

 

2.  Describes the individuals and organizations engaged in both perpetrating and fighting this relatively new phenomenon that threatens the United States and the world. 

 

3.  Looks at the way the Internet has been used to broadcast the spate of recent beheadings in Iraq and investigates the activities of one ISP apparently responsible for a number of terror sites.

 

4.  Details the many different ways terrorists are using our freedom of speech and our way of life against us to try to destroy us.

 

5.  Compares and contrasts Internet terrorism with "conventional" terrorism, stressing the deceptive and covert practices used by terrorist organizations to subvert institutions and organizations that are critical elements of the American and European business world and financial structure.

 

6.  Explains what the very real Internet terrorist threats are to the average citizen and why the reader should be concerned.

 

7. Examines the willing and unwilling enablers within the Internet arena and their motivations.

 

 Features

 

1.  Provides a tutorial on what the Internet is and how it works, and what makes it so easy for terrorist groups to use it for their evil purposes.
 
2.  Describes the various governmental agencies and entities that are responsible for monitoring, interdicting, and preventing the illegal use of the Internet and their track record so far.

 

3.  Examines the constitutional ramifications and implications of controlling and regulating Internet content and how stopping the terrorists could curtail our liberties and freedoms.
 
4.  Empowers readers by arming them with knowledge, procedures, and resources they can take to help their government prevent more attacks on America.

Terror U.

Rafil Dhafir and Al-Haaj Ghazi Khankar should be deported or prosecuted. More importantly, why is Florida Atlantic University supporting anti-American dissidents and why does our federal government not investigate and approve speakers for US colleges or in any event not provide funding to those who refuse to comply by instigating anti-American and pro-violence politics to American students?
