Uh... likely perhaps that "Patrice" is the one on the right instead?

[leadpenny]

Time out. These are not the kind of names I was expecting. This is big.

[savedbygrace]

I'm guessing that Patrice is the female on the right, not the bad-looking dude in the middle.

Were any of them delegates to the last DEM convention?

Are they from Yemen? Sudan?

Hmm... didn't Daniel Pipes write some stuff about Al Qaida connections to the African American community?

It appears all that recruiting in America's prisons is starting to pay off for the al queda...

Islam is a 'religion' of 'peace'.

Good Find. And they were in China trying to get to Afghanistan; probably over the KaraKoram highway which winds through Kashmir to Islamabad. What stopped them, i wonder. Did the Chinese get cold feet?

More and more American born muslims are being rounded up.
Wonder where it'll all end?

October may not be October's favorite month at this point.

I'm reposting this comment here because I think it's important to understanding this.

I would suspect that many of these folks are former Black Muslims, or at any rate, people who have been involved with the Black Muslims at one time or another in the past.

But Black Muslims were not accepted by Muslims in general because they believe that Muhammed X (founder of the movement) was a prophet, while ordinary Middle Eastern Muslims believe that Mohammed was the "last prophet." Some Black Muslims, however, have renounced their belief in Muhammed X and have joined up with the regular ME kill-the-infidel Muslims.

I think we're looking at some of them.

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...)
