“The two were allowed to board the flight at O’Hare airport last night despite security concerns surrounding one of them, the officials said.”

Why?

Ahmed Mohamed Nasser al Soofi, of Detroit, MI, and Hezem al Murisi,

Another case of coincidence that the names of the accused are no doubt methodists.

Practicing their Islam...

[Kartographer]

Most likely on a US government sponsered tour promoting cultural diversity!

I shall cast terror into the hearts of the infidels. Strike off their heads, strike off the very tips of their fingers.

Quran 8:12

Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate.

Quran 9:73

If the idol worshipers sign a peace treaty with you, and do not violate it, nor band together with others against you, you shall fulfill your treaty with them until the expiration date. GOD loves the righteous. Once the Sacred Months are past, (and they refuse to make peace) you may kill the idol worshipers when you encounter them, punish them, and resist every move they make.

Quran 94-5

O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends: They are but friends to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust.

Surah 5:51

In March 1785, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams went to negotiate with Tripoli’s envoy to London, Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman (or Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja). Upon inquiring “concerning the ground of the pretensions to make war upon nations who had done them no injury”, the ambassador replied:

It was written in their Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every muslim who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise. He said, also, that the man who was the first to board a vessel had one slave over and above his share, and that when they sprang to the deck of an enemy’s ship, every sailor held a dagger in each hand and a third in his mouth; which usually struck such terror into the foe that they cried out for quarter at once

Are these the perps?

“The two were allowed to board the flight at O’Hare airport last night despite security concerns surrounding one of them, the officials said.”

Are you kidding me? I bet they got Grandma for having 4 ounces of shampoo instead of 3 though.

[moovova]

I’m guessing neither one of them looked like a little old grey-haired grandma?

The men were identified as Ahmed Mohamed Nasser al Soofi, of Detroit, MI, and Hezem al Murisi, the officials said. A neighbor of al Soofi told ABC News he is from Yemen.

[Deaf Smith]

I would think that if any American WASP was caught with phone & watches taped together, that they would be arrested for simulating a bomb and to cause panic on a commercial flight.

[lonevoice]

From another thread (there are at least 3 threads going now, but yours was first)

Ahmed Mohamed Nasser al Soofi, left, and Hezem al Murisi, were taken off a United Airlines flight in the Netherlands and have been charged by Dutch police with "preparation of a terrorist attack," according to a U.S. law enforcement official. (ABC News)

[Jack Hammer]

Now if they could just apprehend the countless would-be terrorists creeping across the Mexican border and down through Canada....

These two pinheads were clearly not the sharpest tacks in the box.

[Tainan]

In addition, officials said, al Soofi was found to be carrying $7,000 in cash and a check of his luggage found a cell phone taped to a Pepto-Bismol bottle, three cell phones taped together, several watches taped together, a box cutter and three large knives. Officials said there was no indication of explosives and he and his luggage were cleared for the flight from Birmingham to Chicago O’Hare.

WTF....?
