Lots of males named Patrice outside of the US.

[Poohbah]

Patrice Lumumba Ford is named for bigtime Commie from the Congo...a MALE commie.

[Howlin]

I've seen Patrice spelled just that way for men.

Looking at those pictures, I just realized I've become quite the racist/profiler.

From Malone at Voice of America:

U.S. law enforcement officials have arrested four members of a suspected terrorist cell and charged them with conspiracy to wage war against the United States.

Attorney General John Ashcroft says three suspects were arrested in Oregon and one in Michigan. Two others are being sought overseas. Five of the six are American citizens.

Prosecutors allege the six tried to travel to Afghanistan after the September 11 terrorist attacks to fight with the Taleban and al-Qaida against U.S. troops.

One of the six, Jeffrey Battle, served in the U.S. Army Reserve. Authorities allege that he intended to use his combat training against Americans fighting in Afghanistan.

All six have been charged with conspiracy to wage war on the United States and with providing material support and services to al-Qaida and the Taleban.

If convicted, the accused could face up to life in prison.

Them dang Army Reservists (whoops, I was there once...)

The other suspects appear to be Arab or something similar.

Patrice Lumumba is, in the case of Cuba, a popular brigade name, along with Nicaragua when they were under the marxist sandinista. He was 'offed' to prevent his marxist germs over the continent. Of course, there is a "Patrice Lumumba University" as well, trying to recall where.

Looks like radical communist activists turned floor-rug kissers, with a way baaad attitude towards Good Ol' Uncle Sam.

Freeped.

Certainly, a great looking trio....NOT!

[Poohbah]

Of course, there is a "Patrice Lumumba University" as well, trying to recall where.

Moskva...don't know if it's still open, though.

I know what to do with them, though: turn 'em loose after we make MORE arrests. Turn 'em loose in front of their mosque, and stuff a big ol' wad of cash in their shirt pockets, while shaking their hands and thanking them profusely.

I reckon they won't make it ten paces before they get scragged...

This AP story includes this snip and goes on to tell about weapons training in Washigton State after 9-11

Snip
"Ashcroft says one of the men joined the U.S. Army Reserves to get training in U.S. tactics and weapons. He says the man, Jeffrey Battle, obtained an administrative discharge in January of this year while in Bangladesh, and that he intended to use his training against American soldiers in Afghanistan."

No, Patrice is a man... named himself after Patrice Lumumba - the first prime minister of the Congo after independence...

Later, the Soviets named a university after him and they trained such people as Carlos The Jackel in teh fine art of... well, terrorism...

[wardaddy]

Blacks I've known here who go muslim are mainly 3 groups. Nation of Islam, Moorish Science Temple, and Sunnis. The first two are really fakirs and not terribly accepted by the mullah crowd. The Sunnis of course are I suppose the real thing.

What amuses me about the "back to Africa" aspect of this is that A) Nearly all black slaves were of Ibo, Yoruba, Coramatee, or Mandingo heritage and were religiously ANIMISTS not Muslims. and B) Muslims did in fact have a large hand in enslaving their ancestors to begin with.....continuing till this very day.

Some blacks wish for a "roots" religion they ought to look into animal and nature worship and old fashioned witch doctor stuff. Better yet, go Rasta...they are more peaceful.

The two dudes on the bottom look to be brothers and certainly have the same last name. Only the guy on the bottom, right, to my understanding, is a non-US citizen.

You'd think, if they were really serious about this terrorist business, they'd try to look a little more like Barry Manilow or somebody similarly harmless, wouldn't you? I mean, seriously: What's the first thing you think of when you see some no-goods who look like that? "They look like terrorists." Right?

[Chad Fairbanks]

The University is in Russia (or, was...)

Patrice Lumumba University was a notorious training ground for spies and terrorists. It's also, ironically, called The People's Friendship University...
