Profile: 'Jihad Jane' from Main Street
BBC ^ | March 11, 2010

Posted on 03/11/2010 6:23:15 AM PST by nuconvert

The blonde middle-aged woman apparently raised no concerns with her boyfriend or her neighbours on Main Street, Pennsbury, Philadelphia.

But online she had allegedly agreed to kill in the name of holy war, believing her European looks would allow her to blend in among Swedes as she homed in on her target.

Colleen LaRose, according to a US court indictment, posted messages online under the name Jihad Jane, expressing her desire to participate in jihad, or holy war.

Arrested in October 2009, Ms LaRose had exchanged emails over 15 months to recruit fighters for "violent jihad".

Her activities apparently came as a surprise to her boyfriend Kurt Gorman, whom she met in 2005.

she was "desperate to do something somehow to help" ease the suffering of Muslims

You know she voted for the usurper.

They'll use her to continue to hassle grandma at the airport.

2) Suffers from BDS
3) clueless to women being treated like cattle in the muslim culture
4) a one time code pink supporter

Listen up all Freepers; this story portends an extremely dangerous new phase in this country; this gives the Evil the excuse it needs to further harass and intimidate whitey in the U.S. on the grounds that the paradigm of the “terrorists” has changed. They will now attempt to conflate anyone, particularly white, non-liberals, with the term “terrorist”.

I heard this gut wrenching story too!

"...it's no longer possible to say who a terrorist is or even to say that it's someone so dramatically different from ourselves."

Don't look in the mirror Mr. American, you might be looking at a terrorist! And certainly don't trust/report on your neighbors. But never fear, your government, with the aid of frequent consultants like Georgetown University professor: Bruce Hoffman will figure out clever ways to protect you from yourselves.
