Al-Qaida Recruiting Black American Bombers
WorldNetDaily ^ | May 21, 2007

Posted on 05/21/2007 10:20:12 AM PDT by Fennie

Al-Qaida is aggressively recruiting black Americans for suicide operations against the homeland, say FBI analysts who have reviewed recent videotaped messages from the terror group's leaders. A speech released May 5 by Osama bin Laden's deputy confirms earlier fears that African-Americans are the No. 1 recruiting target for the next generation of attacks. Al-Qaida has been trying to lower its Arab profile to reduce the odds that its terror cells will be subjected to security scrutiny...

they’ll just go after the disaffected of any kind. Islam seems to be great for people who feel they have a grudge against the larger society. It turns them from sullen misfits into killing machines.

Liberals?

I agree completely. It’s all too open, for all to see. Thailand and Indonesia have the same ethnic groups (somewhat). One is Buddhist/Hindu. The other was that, but were converted to Islam to near completion, by the Arab traders. Just compare the reports of violence coming out of Indonesia.

If that’s not enough, compare Indonesia with its territory of Bali. Hardly surprising, isn’t it?

Even in Kashmir, it was Sufi Islam, a ‘pacified’ version that did the initial conversion. After that, and in almost every instance, wait a few generations, and there will be rapid conversion to the more violent, truer form of that death-cult.

No Liberal met a terrorist they didn’t feel sorry for. They hate the US military and their mission. Therefore, what better group than Liberals for our enemies to recruit from. In fact, one could say that Liberals and Islamic fanatics are allies in their quest to destroy America.

Consider that modern radical islam uses the same play book as modern liberal America: The Communist Manifesto. Radical islam and liberals both recruit from circles that consider themselves to be victims of the rest of the world, and give them a way to vent their rage by taking down those identified as the "ruling elite".

“No, you’re not wrong. Of course there can be a few nuts out there but if there is an American suicide bomber I’m sure we’ll find out he had a history of mental illness.”

You mean, rather than being a stable, well balanced individual like your average suicide bomber?

Well, definitely, but most liberals prefer to have others do the killing for them. They never put their money where their mouth is. But they’re really thrilled when somebody else goes out and kills Americans.

I think that’s very true - I don’t think they have to target blacks, they’ll just go after the disaffected of any kind.

Wait until they discover registered sex offenders, who are finding the laws restricting them drawing ever tighter. One or two of those going off and we can put those old WWII camps to a new use.

In their own cultures, these people are considered stable well-balanced individuals. That's what's frightening about Islam.

Don't be too sure. This cult can twist the mind in the most satanic manner:

From Belgian cul-de-sac to suicide bomber in Iraq

· Troubled life of woman who converted to Islam
· Mother grieves for ‘brainwashed’ daughter

Nicholas Watt in Monceau-sur-Sambre
Friday December 2, 2005
The Guardian

Liliane Degauque was in tears as she walked across the small patch of grass to the house of her closest friend. “I have lost my daughter and now I have no more children,” Mme Degauque whispered. It was with those words she confirmed that Europe’s first woman suicide bomber was the former rebellious child who used to play outside her front door.
Hardly anyone in the tight-knit community of Monceau-sur-Sambre, on the outskirts of Charleroi, was surprised to hear that “la kamikaze Belge” was Mme Degauque’s daughter, Muriel, 38.

After a troubled upbringing in the quiet postwar cul-de-sac of L’Avenue de l’Europe, with immaculately tended front lawns and elaborate net curtains, Muriel converted to Islam when she married a man of north African origin. Relations soon became strained with her parents who believe their daughter was “brainwashed” by her husband.

Muriel Degauque’s life came to an end just over three weeks ago on a roadside in Baquba, north of Baghdad, when she blew herself up in an attack on an Iraqi police patrol on November 9. Five policemen were killed outright and a sixth officer and four civilians were seriously injured.

It took a few hours for Myriam - as she called herself after her second marriage to Hissam Goris - to earn her grisly place in the history books. Unlike most volunteers, who are killed the moment they detonate the explosives strapped to their bodies, she took some time to die from her severe injuries. Hours later, her husband, a Belgian of Moroccan origin, was killed by US security forces in Iraq.

As Muriel’s life slipped away next to a large crater created by her bomb, security forces uncovered a treasure trove of documents which eventually led Belgian police to knock on her parents’ front door at 6.00am on Wednesday. Her passport, which featured a striking image of a European woman, told the security forces that insurgents in Iraq had succeeded in recruiting a new type of suicide bomber. Travel papers showed that Muriel and her husband had travelled from Belgium to Iraq overland by car from Turkey.

Her parents were told nothing for three weeks because Belgian and French police used the information gleaned from the documents to mount surveillance operations on groups which allegedly sent the couple to Iraq. In the early hours of Wednesday morning police in Brussels, Charleroi, Antwerp and Paris launched a series of raids and arrested 15 people who allegedly recruited suicide bombers for the insurgents in Iraq.

Hours after the raids, police in Charleroi - a bleak former industrial town south of Brussels - delivered the news to Muriel’s parents. But they had already guessed the worst. Mme Degauque, who last spoke to her daughter in Syria a month ago, told the Gazette newspaper: “I had a bad feeling when I heard the news on Tuesday night. When they rang the doorbell I immediately told police investigators they were coming about my daughter. They were surprised.”

After a difficult upbringing, in which their daughter frequently ran away, Liliane and her husband Jean watched as she grew apart from her family who still live in the same small terrace house. During a spell as an assistant in a baker’s in Charleroi, Muriel met and married a man of Turkish origin whose parents were part of the large influx to the local mines in the 1960s. After the marriage fell apart, she lived with another man of north African origin, who is alleged to have influenced her radical Islamist beliefs. Three years ago she married Hissam Goris who took his new wife to Morocco, though they were careful to return home so they would not lose unemployment benefits. The couple eventually settled in in the rundown area around the Gare du Midi in Brussels where many Muslims live.

Muriel’s parents spoke of the cultural gulf which strained relations on the rare occasions that their daughter was driven to their house by her husband in his Mercedes, which raised eyebrows in the quiet cul-de-sac where he was known to be unemployed. “Muriel became more Muslim than a Muslim,” her mother told Le Parisien newspaper. “When she first converted she wore a simple veil. But with her last husband she wore a [head to toe] chador.”

Eventually relations became impossible. “When we saw them they imposed their own rules,” her mother told La Derniere Heure newspaper. “We would be at home but my husband had to eat in the kitchen with Hissam while the women stayed in the sitting room. The last time we saw them we told them we had had enough of them trying to indoctrinate us.”

Mme Degauque, who lost her son in a motorbike accident 18 years ago, has painful memories of her daughter who had refused to visit her in hospital. “I don’t have time for that,” her daughter said.

A few miles from the L’Avenue de l’Europe and Mme Degauque’s brick house, Fadel Abdallah, imam of Arrahama de Marchienne mosque, looks at a picture of Muriel on the front page of the local paper. He paused and said: “Is she a Muslim? Allah says that if you kill, it is like killing the whole world.”

They will do it if they believe in God (Allah). Suicidal Americans are not that hard to find.

1978: Mass suicide leaves 900 dead

The bodies of 914 people, including 276 children, have been found in Guyana in South America. Most of the dead - members of the People's Temple Christian Church - had consumed a soft drink laced with cyanide and sedatives.

Last year Jim Jones and most of the 1,000 members of the People's Temple moved to Guyana from San Francisco after an investigation began into the church for tax evasion.

It reminds me of a great joke by the late Richard Pryor, mocking all the white horror movies. There’s a haunted house, and ghastly things keep happening, but the white family does not leave because “This is our HOUSE!” The way he delivered the punchline was so funny I can’t do it justice but something like “A black family? Would get OUT of the DAM* HOUSE!” It would be a very short horror movie.

I couldn’t pretend to get inside their minds (nor would I want to) but some of them could have been. Their culture brainwashes people, you seen the Arab version of Mikey Mouse. How do you fix people growing up exposed to stuff like that?

Of course suicide is common, the whole idea of taking someone with is is not.

LOL! Very true. And we won’t even mention the (usually white) chick who always decides to run back in to get her cat while the monster is busy snuffling down the hallway and blood is running out under the door...

Of course, but I was referring to the prospect of an American suicide bomber. I don’t even actually think it would take mental illness, as such - just a deeply unhappy, angry individual, manipulated by someone with sinister intent.

What we would consider a sex offense doesn’t seem to be a problem in Islam, so maybe you’ve got a point. Little boys? Cool. Goats? Cool. Ayatollah Khomenei’s first published work was an ask-the-mullah column telling a Muslim that it was okay to have sex with chickens. I kid you not.

Well, John Michael Lindh (the “American Taliban”) was an example of that.

Or AQ could try recruiting at the local mental health clinic...

Indeed. As I’m sure you’ve heard, we’ve had a few of them here in the UK, and the terrifying part is that most of them were seemingly normal, westernised young men until the extremist mullahs got their hands on them. Up until the last few years, I, like many on this site, would never have imagined that any of “my own” would become suicide bombers, but that’s not the case anymore. Do you have the “wicked ones” operating out of mosques over there, or are AQ using other avenues?
