I’m wondering if any of the Minnesota Somali’s have acted on American soil. I know at least one or two have turned up fighting in Somalia after going back over. Don’t know if that counts or not.
From the list:
2008-0812: Hospital employees attacked, Minneapolis, MN, by Somali Teens (minors not named by Police), 2 injured.
Oops! Sorry - I missed that. I will keep my eyes and ears peeled for any more. You’re doing a great thing here!
I am NOT bashing your precious W. I simply want the facts to be clear. The "we haven't had another attack" line is pure BS. Just because it was not as big as 9/11 is of small comfort to those who lost loved ones in these attacks listed above. Those in the know are talking about strike teams and how many are in the country. The next strike team attack will most likely come from Jihadists that entered the country through the Southern border which W all but ignored and even encouraged the flow of undesirable people - including terrorists.
people like you who are ok with attacks smaller than 9/11 have a blind spot. It will be too bad if you or one of your relatives fall victim to the terrorists W willfully let come into our country through the open border.
Oh and spare me the fight them over there bull$hit.
This nut had been briefing local law enforcement and airport officials on racial profiling and sensitivity training regarding muslims, right after 9-11. There was also some mention that the wife may have found something on his computer.
Police at the time indicated that his wife was actively seeking a divorce from Azad and that they have had a number of disputes over money and property. They claimed this was the motive. Was it? Apparently the jury agreed. Was there an element of Islamic "honor" killing? I would not discount it...but Azad never said.
He was found guilty of 1st degree murder with special circumstances in his trial on November 11, 2004.
On November 23, 2004, the Jury recommended the death penalty..
Then on August 16, 2005, he was officially sentenced to death row by Judge Cheri Copsey.
In addition to the death sentence, Judge Copsey gave Abdullah 80 years in prison for 5 other crimes including 3 counts of attempted murder (his kids), 1 count of arson and 1 count of felony injury to a child.
He's now sitting on Idaho's death row.
I was in Idaho (lived in Nampa, worked in Boise) at the time of the crime. I left Idaho in early 2004, so I missed the trial/sentencing. It was a very strange case - I still wonder about the computer angle and whether or not the wife stumbled on something.
Worked the first 3-4 with Micron Electronics as a Sr, Manager over notebook/laptop development (XKE, Trek, etc. lines)...but then left just as Joel Kocher (the then CEO) finished running it in the ground. The resulting company lasted several years, but has finally gone completely out of business as well. Sad times too, it was once a very good company.
Have worked for the Federal Government for over 6 years now.
The case of Azada Abdullah is one I would probably list on a seperate page (that I am thinking about) of so-called Islamic honor killings. That has been happening with increasing frequency here where woman (most of them Americans who have married Islamics) and kids are killed by Islamic men because they believe they become too western, or are not maintaiing the honor of the family as they see it.
Stay Alert BUMP!
New Jersey: an Islamic murder of Coptic Christians?
"The heartless killer not only slit Sylvia's throat, but also sliced a huge gash in her chest and stabbed her in the wrist, where she had a tattoo of a Coptic cross."
"This is not a robbery, Ayed said. "We found all of the jewelry in the house. They didn't take anything."
I'm as mature as General Anthony McAuliffe. And as eloquent.
I am NOT bashing your precious W.
He's not "my precious W," he's a President of the United States who did a fine job dismantling Al Qaeda.
people like you who are ok with attacks smaller than 9/11 have a blind spot.
Let me be eloquent again: Cram it. I'm not "OK" with small attacks, I just think the vast majority of them will be unpreventable. If they can ever be prevented, it will only be via a radical change in societal attitude toward PC, not through any top-down law enforcement or military strategy issued from the Oval Office.
Oh and spare me the fight them over there bull$hit.
Yeah, why make an enemy take on the world's best warrirors on the other side of the planet from our soft civilian targets? That sure doesn't make any sense.
God Bless you Jeff!
