Now that we’ve discovered that our notorious sniper isn’t a lone, crazed, white, NRA member, we can examine the actual leading suspect, John Allen Muhammad. He was joined in his shooting spree by John Lee Malvo, an illegal alien from Jamaica, but it’s clear that Muhammad, an African-American, ex-military, convert to Islam, is the leader of the two. What stands out the most about Muhammad isn’t his race, his psychological profile, or his time spent in the military. It’s the Islam connection.
Soon after Muhammad was apprehended by the police, the liberal media began downplaying his religion. They have grudgingly reported the fact that Muhammad was a convert to Islam, but in trying to assign blame for his violent actions, their emphasis has consistently been on his 10 years in the military, not on his 17 years as a Muslim.
Muhammad was initially a member of the Nation of Islam and served as a bodyguard during the Million Man March. The Nation of Islam has predictably disavowed any current relationship with Muhammad. While The Nation of Islam is a separatist, anti-Semitic, and anti-American organization, it probably wasn’t the sole cause of Muhammad’s descent into radicalism.
Some in law enforcement suspect a possible connection between Muhammad and the criminal, Islamist organization al Fuqr. Daniel Pearl was investigating al Fuqr when he was murdered in Pakistan. Ironically, it is listed as a terrorist organization by the government of Pakistan, but not by our own. This may soon change because al Fuqr’s operations in the U.S. are fast becoming clear. They involve recruiting men like Muhammad and steering them towards the Wabhhabist branch of Islam and eventually involvement in criminal and/or terrorist acts.
This is mere speculation at this point, but there are several facts that flesh out this theory. It now appears that Muhammad and Malvo took shots at a synagogue in Tacoma, although no one was in the building at the time. Muhammad just happened to register the infamous 1990 Chevy Caprice he used as a platform, on the date of the one-year anniversary of 9/11. The DMV in Camden, New Jersey where Muhammad registered the car, received a bomb threat the same day at 8:45 am. Muhammad registered the car at 8:53 am, eight minutes before police evacuated the building. Finally, Muhammad chose to start his killing spree on October 2, the anniversary of the conviction of World Trade Center bombing ringleader Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman in 1995. It’s difficult to believe that these dates have no meaning, considering the emphasis, among Islamic terrorist groups, on choosing significant dates for attacks.
There is also some precedent for Muhammad’s case. Remember the supposed “lone shooter” at the El Al ticket counter on July 4, 2002? Even before the investigation had begun, officials were quick to deny any terrorist links. Sure enough, it later turned out that Hesham Mohamed Ali Hadayet had former ties to Egyptian Jihad. In fact, he was granted asylum by the INS on the grounds that he had been persecuted in Egypt for his involvement with this very group.
Considering the fact that we are a country at war, perhaps our officials should not be so quick to rule out connections to terrorism and our media should follow suit. Whether or not it’s considered politically correct to identify a suspect in an important case like this one as Muslim, the American people deserve to know the truth. This obviously doesn’t mean that every Muslim out there is a terrorist, but neither can we continue to ignore the fact that Islamic terrorism makes up the bulk of terrorist activity in the world today.
Exactly. That's the only way, short of Internment Camps!
Wrong. He was denied asylum, but allowed to stay anyway. He said he was accused of being part of the group by the Egyptian govt, but that was false, he was harassed, so he had to leave.
There you have it.
But then, I'm already convinced that the Islamist connection is true, and all the apologist crapola trying to downplay the Islam connection is pure B.S.
It's about time somebody said that. I'm really sick and tired of all the PC crap (al la Moose, the ultimate PC politicop). I'm drowning in it...it REALLY makes me mad, and I'M one of the ones trying get the word out that we do NOT summarily execute ALL Muslims...just the TERRORISTS.
Ahem...FRY WILLYMO AND MALVO.
Yeah. But whenever the supposed "bad guys" are Serbian, the cry of "Crucify them!" goes up loud and clear!!!!
But as you may have noticed, a terrorist or criminal perp is NEVER Serbian. So the pseudo-liberal hypocrites have to invent lies as excuses to go after Serbs and betray them to the muslim antichrist.
It's time to stop the insanity!!!!
