No Women or Children Available To Hide Behind So Hamas Had To Release A Grainy Video Of The Killing Of 2 Israeli Soldiers

See Video Pwnd

RIP Maj Eliraz Peretz and Staff Sgt. Ilan Sviatkovsky.

Via Haaretz

In the events on Friday, Maj. Eliraz Peretz and Staff Sgt. Ilan Sviatkovsky were killed in the Gaza Strip while pursuing a group of Palestinian militants trying to lay mines near the border fence. Two other soldiers were injured in the incident, and two militants were killed.[...]

The military wing of Hamas, the Iz al-Din al-Qassam Brigade, announced on Friday that it was responsible for the killing of the two IDF soldiers and injuring two others.

In a Hamas news conference, the spokesperson for the military wing of Hamas, Abu Obeida, said that a Hamas sniper succeeded in striking two Israeli soldiers. Abu Obeida said that "the act is dedicated to the Palestinian nation, to the jailed prisoners and in honor of shahid Mahmoud al-Mabhouh."

Infoshop: Crash The Tea Parties On April 15th - They Are Full Of Bad People Or Something Like That

Click to enlarge

From Anarchist' R Us

On April 15th thousands of right-wingers will attend rallies in cities and towns across the United States. The organizers of this nationwide day of protest call it a tea party. This tea party movement that emerged only a year ago is a coalition of conservatives, anti-Semites, fascists, libertarians, racists, constitutionalists, militia men, gun freaks, homophobes, Ron Paul supporters, Alex Jones conspiracy types and American flag wavers.[...]

1. Organize counter-protests against the tea party demonstrations, same time, same place. This is probably the best option. We need to get in the streets on April 15th and show the tea party movement that there are lots of people out there who oppose their agenda.

2. Get individual tea party protesters to leave the right-wing and move to the left politically.[lol] That would involve passing out stuff like this at the tea party demonstrations: http://www.anarchist-studies.org/node/299

3. Ignore the tea party movement. This is the worst option because without anyone opposing them they could easily gain power.

Some good articles critical of the tea party movement:

They all look alike!

In the fictional Star Wars, the Jawas are a pygmy and rodentlike race inhabiting the desert planet Tatooine. They are a hardworking people that work as scavengers and tinkers. They are entirely covered in brown cloaks and their glowing yellow eyes are the only body parts visible. However, they do appear to have hairy arms in Episode IV. They use vast Sandcrawlers as transports in the desert world.

They are usually 1m to 1.5m tall (between three and five feet). Jawas are not as short as they appear to be, because in actuality they are taller than Jedi Master Yoda. It is as the Ewoks say, "eeechaaa," which roughly translates to "the only good Jawa is a dead Jawa."[15]

Jawas also employ a variable language. This means that almost no other species can understand their language, due to the fact that any given word can have more than four different meanings.

International Conference on Islam

From Maghreb News:

An international conference on Islam and rational sciences opened Monday (March 29th) in Algiers, El Khabar reported.

High Islamic Council (HCI) President Cheikh Bouamrane said that the 3-day symposium aims to respond to "questions posed by some intellectuals on the agreement between Islam and the spirit and contribution of this religion to universal civilization".

Offhand, I'd suggest that there are a lot of people curious about how Islam contributes to civilization.

Holder's Continuing War Against the CIA

It's from Monday, but I missed it and it's worth the read. Plus, it compliments the news that the CIA isn't satisfied with DOJ procedures to keep CIA members incognito.

NRO:

It would be interesting to know whether the attorney general thinks legitimate representation by counsel includes stalking the CIA, conspiring to identify covert agents and security personnel, inciting disruptions, providing terrorists with information in rampant violation of court orders, and the Gitmo Bar’s other outrages. Assuming Holder agrees that this is not the “rule of law” he had in mind, why would such activities not constitute material support to terrorists? ...

That is to say, Daskal has been a harsh critic of the United States, a reliable advocate for terrorists, and a champion of compromising the CIA’s wartime activities. The last is precisely what her compatriots in the Gitmo Bar have been up to. Doesn’t the attorney general think Americans are entitled to know what Daskal has been doing at the Justice Department? Whether he was aware of her anti-CIA activism before he brought her on board? What involvement, if any, she has had in discussions about the detainee lawyers? Whether there is a conflict of interest between her work at Justice and her work at HRW? Has she, for example, been involved in any way in the department’s deliberations over the disclosure of classified information from the Bush years?

Seriously, read the rest.

Normally the more I learn about the details of these alleged "scandals", the less outraged I am. For instance, Valerie Plame.

But in the case of the Gitmo lawyers working for Justice, each additional detail makes it worse. At best Eric Holder is a not-yet-ready-for-primetime AG.

UPDATE by Rusty
: Robert Spencer chimes in

Late in 2007, when Johnson was still a respected conservative blogger, he began to smear Pamela Geller -- the fearless and passionate Zionist and warrior for freedom -- and others as neo-Nazi sympathizers based on this false analysis. And late in 2008, he began including me in these smears. The point is that other prominent conservative bloggers ran for cover and shunned those whom Johnson victimized, instead of standing up to him and calling him on his character assassination and defamation. Johnson was working hard to destroy the reputations of good people, and other bloggers abetted him in this by cowering before him and severing all relations with his targets.
Mea culpa.

Obi-One Flip Flop Drill Baby Drill

CNN:

CNN) -- In a move that could help win Republican support for other energy initiatives, President Obama will announce plans Wednesday to open large sections of the eastern Gulf of Mexico and an area off the Virginia coast for oil and natural gas drilling.

"To set America on a path to energy independence, the president believes we must leverage our diverse domestic resources by pursuing a comprehensive energy strategy," said a statement provided by an administration official, who did not want to comment on the record ahead of the president's announcement.

Wow, that's amazing... what did he say before?

I guess all that was just political bullshit Mr. President?

But don't think he's not still playing politics.

The proposal includes lifting a 20-year ban on drilling off the Virginia coastline, while putting the clamps on sites that had been approved off the coast of Alaska.
Ahh, he never misses a chance to f*ck Alaska does he?

Interesting. Deanna on FB speculates this is a political carrot in order to further the really really dead cap and trade bill. I think that's an excellent observation.

"You Are Being Mean To Us," Say Muslims In U.S. Prisons

It's so awful for them, the prisons have been dubbed stateside GITMO

U.S. prison units specially designed to muzzle communications by inmates considered extremist are unconstitutional and discriminate against Muslims, according to a lawsuit filed on Tuesday by the Center for Constitutional Rights.

The 77-page lawsuit filed with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia takes aim at so-called Communications Management Units, which one critic called "a stateside Guantanamo."

Five current and former prisoners held at the units argue they were held in an extreme environment that did not fit the crimes they were convicted for such as material support for terrorism and terrorism linked with environmental activism.

They are mostly angry because they couldn't speak Arabic around non Arabic staff...pffffft
Speaking at a recent U.S. congressional budget hearing, Bureau of Prisons Director Harley Lappin said: "As you recall, you were angry at us because inmates were inappropriately communicating. ... We've put in procedures and processes to stop that, minimize the likelihood that would occur."
Nothing to see here, move along.

US strike 'kills six in Pakistan'

AFP

Unmanned US aircraft fired three missiles, destroying a compound in Pakistan's tribal belt near the Afghan border early on Wednesday and killing six militants, security officials said.

US drone attacks frequently target Taliban and al-Qaeda-linked commanders in the nuclear-armed country's tribal belt, where Taliban and foreign militants have carved out havens in mountainous areas outside direct government control.

"A US drone attack targeted a compound owned by Samir Khan, a local tribesman, and used by militants in North Waziristan. Two missiles were fired," a Pakistani security official told AFP on condition of anonymity.

"Four people were killed," the official said. The strike took place at the village of Tapi, about 20km east of Miranshah.

Follow on strike went in for the kill..
Another Pakistani intelligence official confirmed the first attack and said another US drone fired a third drone into the same compound killing another two suspected militants and bringing the overall death toll to six.
Guess they didnt think they got the intended target with the first two missiles.......practice makes perfect.

Barry Rubin: Obama flacks push project trying to normalize relations with Hezbollah

Barry Rubin has a shocking new piece about an attempt by the Obama-linked Center for American Progress to use him in a project to normalize relations with the terrorist group Hezbollah:

Just Say “No”: I Get Personally Invited to Help the Obama Administration Engage—and Thus Strengthen--Terrorists

Can things get worse with the Obama Administration’s foreign—and especially Middle East--policy? Yes, it’s not inevitable but I have just seen personally a dangerous example of what could be happening next. In fact, I never expected that the administration would try to recruit me in this campaign, as you'll see starting with paragraph seven.

First, a little background. One of the main concerns with the Obama Administration is that it would go beyond just engaging Syria and Iran, turning a blind eye to radical anti-American activities throughout the region...

Beyond this, though, there has been the possibility of the U.S. government engaging Hizballah. It is inadequate to describe Hizballah as only a terrorist movement. But it is accurate to describe it as: a Lebanese Shia revolutionary Islamist movement that seeks to gain control over Lebanon, is deeply anti-American, is a loyal client of Iran and Syria, uses large amounts of terrorism, and is committed to Israel’s destruction. Hizballah engages in Lebanese politics, including elections, as one tactic in trying to fulfill these goals...

Here’s where I come in. I have received a letter asking me personally to help with a research project. I have spoken to well-informed people who tell me that the statements I am about to quote are accurate. It is highly possible that the link with the Obama Administration is exaggerated, but this indeed does come from the White House’s favorite think tank.

While not mentioning the names of those involved they are known for supporting the idea that Hizballah is really quite moderate. The letter says that this is a project for the Center for American Progress and that the results “will be presented to senior U.S. policymakers in the administration.”

I am asked to participate by giving my opinions on how the United States can deal with Hizballah “short of engagement” and “would Israeli leaders see benefit in the U.S. talking with Hizballah about issues which are of crucial importance to Israel?”...

I read this letter—and that impression is confirmed by those knowledgeable about this project and those involved—as saying that the Center for American Progress is going to issue a report calling for U.S. engagement with Hizballah, and that it has been encouraged to do so by important officials in the Obama Administration.

The phrase “to ensure anything decided is done properly,” I take as a give-away to the fact that they are going to push for direct dealing with Hizballah but want to be able to say that they had listened to alternative views.

They merely, I am told by those who know about this project, intend to talk to some who disagree for appearances’ sake and throw in a sentence or two to give the report the slightest tinge of balance.

The person heading this project has already endangered the lives of brave Lebanese. For example, he claimed without foundation that Christians were planning to launch a war on Hizballah, providing a splendid rationale for Hizballah to murder opponents on the excuse of doing so in self-defense. Accepting Hizballah rule is defined as the Christians recognizing they are a minority and trying to get along with their Muslim neighbors.

In other words, those opposing Hizballah are presented as aggressors while Hizballah is just the reasonable party that wants to get along. Moreover all this leaves out the community, about the same size as the Christians and Shia Muslims, that has been leading the resistance to Syria, Iran, and Hizballah: the Sunni Muslims.

In short, the person directing the project talks like a virtual agent of Hizballah and its allies, basically repeating what they tell him...

Barry notes that this is not the first time he has been asked to be involved in such a project:

The last time I was in this situation, it involved a government-funded report about Islamist movements. What I didn't know is that the word had been passed to the project director from the government agency that he was supposed to urge engagement with Islamists. The intention was to keep out anything critical of the idea. At first, then, I was told to my surprise that my paper would be responded to by another paper written by a supporter of engaging Islamists.

When my paper was submitted, however, it was apparently too strong, it was quickly rejected in an insulting way, and I wasn't paid for my work. The fix was in and those involved were richly rewarded for saying what was wanted, though the actual implementation of such a policy would be disastrous for U.S. interests, as well as for millions of Arabs as well as Israelis.

Yes, read the whole thing.

Long live the glorious Gaian dictatorship

Oy vey...

The Guardian reports:

Humans are too stupid to prevent climate change from radically impacting on our lives over the coming decades. This is the stark conclusion of James Lovelock, the globally respected environmental thinker and independent scientist who developed the Gaia theory.

...One of the main obstructions to meaningful action is "modern democracy", he added. "Even the best democracies agree that when a major war approaches, democracy must be put on hold for the time being. I have a feeling that climate change may be an issue as severe as a war. It may be necessary to put democracy on hold for a while."

The good news is that Lovelock is 90 years old. Presumably upon dying a natural death care will be taken to stuff him full of chemicals, lest his rotting corpse release heat and carbon dioxide...

The father of a Marine who gave his life for his country in Iraq is being forced to pay the Westboro cult’s court costs.
The Baltimore Sun reported, via FOX Nation:

Lawyers for the father of a Marine who died in Iraq and whose funeral was picketed by anti-gay protesters say a court has ordered him to pay the protesters’ appeal costs.

On Friday, the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ordered that Albert Snyder of York, Pa., pay costs associated with Fred Phelps’ appeal. Phelps is the leader of the Westboro Baptist Church, which conducted protests at the funeral of Snyder’s son, Marine Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder, in Westminster in 2006.

The State Run al Qaeda Camp in Northern Yemen

In Yemen, al Qaeda’s training camp in the Abu Jabara valley is no secret. It is in an old military camp between Sa’ada and al Jawf provinces, near the Saudi border, and it houses hundreds of Yemeni and foreign al Qaeda loyalists.

Acting as mercenaries for Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, al Qaeda operatives fought in the Sa’ada War against the Houthi rebels. As a result, hundreds of jihaddists gained battlefield experience during the five years of brutal war. In an interview with The Jawa Report's Jane Novak, Yemeni politician Hassan Zaid recommended the terrorists in Abu Jabara be disarmed now that the war has ended.

Corrupt al Qaeda

Despite their high flown rhetoric, Quoranic citations and photo-shopped internet magazine, al Qaeda in Yemen is just as corrupt as the Saleh regime itself. The enmeshment of al Qaeda with Yemen’s subverted military and intelligence services is a product of long standing relationships that stretch from the caves of Afghanistan to the presidential palace in Sana’a.

The sixth round of the Sa’ada War ended in February when President Saleh declared a ceasefire. Yemen’s ability to construct a durable peace is doubtful. Disengagement is moving slowly. A frank assessment of the underlying issues of exclusion, religious pluralism, development and equality never occurred.

The rebels are required to turn in their weapons as one condition of the cease fire. Opposition politician Hassan Zaid said the terrorists in the Abu Jabara al Qaeda camp should be disarmed as well. "This group sours the atmosphere of peace,” Mr. Zaid noted to al Tagheer.

Al Qaeda with Official Passports

The rebels are Zaidis, a Shiite offshoot, and claim religious discrimination by the state. Mr. Zaid leads the Zaidi oriented al Haqq opposition party and previously headed the Joint Meeting Parties, Yemen’s opposition coalition. He disputed the notion that he was the rebels “spiritual leader” as regime propaganda the Yemen Post reported.

In my interview, Mr. Zaid confirmed that the al Qaeda fighters in Abu Jabara participated in the war against the Houthi rebels. “Our brothers said there are around 500-800 (al Qaeda) fighters training there under General Ali Mohsen al Ahmar’s command,” he said.

A powerful military commander, General al Ahmar is President Saleh’s half brother and, as commander of the North West region, led the war against the rebels. Al Ahmar recruited fighters for Osama bin Laden during the Afghan jihad in the 1980’s and is reputed to facilitate several al Qaeda groups in Yemen.

“They are well armed and holding authorized (official) ID which enables them to move between Yemen and Saudi Arabia,” Mr. Zaid told me. “They joined the government to fight the rebels. They are well supported and financed by (sources within) Saudi Arabia, and they are better-off, richer, than other Qaeda members in Yemen.”

Foreign al Qaeda in Northern Yemen

The al Qaeda group in Sa’ada includes foreign fighters, but the presence of westerners is unclear. In March 2009, the southern weekly Attagammua reported, “Local sources in Saada confirmed that members of various Arab nationalities as well as citizens from different provinces” were in Abu Jubara. The papers sources noted “the striking emergence of Salafist groups in the city of Saada, and the effort to build a center for Yemeni al-Qaeda in Yemen.”

The independent Yemen Times reported foreign fighters in Sa’ada the same month: “Thousands of Jihadist groups, or Salafia – including Yemenis and foreigners from neighboring Arab and non-Arab countries (were) gathering against the Houthis in coordination with the army under the management of military centers and sheikhs…”

In June 2009, al Eshteraki, mouthpiece of the Yemeni Socialists Party (YSP), said that large numbers of al-Qaeda operatives and other jihadist organizations in the Abu Jabara camp had gathered to meet “the Shiite tide,” represented by the Houthi rebels.

“It was originally an official camp of the armed forces of Yemen that was abandoned,” al Eshteraki reported, noting the camp is under the stewardship of Afghan Arabs inducted into the Yemeni military after they fought for President Saleh in the 1994 civil war. Usama bin Laden supplied fighters and arms to President Saleh’s jihaddist forces as they battled southern socialists in the 1994 civil war, the New York Times reported.

In December 2009, Attagammua again reported that al Qaeda terrorists who returned to Yemen after fighting American forces in Iraq and Afghanistan were in Sa'ada, fighting for the Yemen state.

State Support

The sixth round of the Sa’ada War broke out in August. In October, with the war raging, the Houthi rebels’ website, al Menpar, published an article referencing the Abu Jabara camp that alleged a high level al Qaeda leader had sold al Qaeda’s services to the Yemeni state.

“They agreed that the government will provide them with light weapons and the Al Qaida fighters will participate in the war against the rebels. Omar Obadah and his followers who just came back from Saudi Arabia (had) received some training in Afghanistan.”

According to al Menpar, some current al Qaeda leaders in Sa’ada were previously imprisoned in Saudi Arabia and others had escaped in the infamous 2006 al Qaeda jailbreak in Yemen.

“Many sources affirm that this coalition is beneficial to both parties, the Yemeni government, and al Qaeda leaders, and the Saudi’s as well. The Saudi embraced and supported (the camp) because they consider the Houthi rebels in the north as infidels from their perspective,” the article concluded.

In January 2010, Saada Online found a similar arrangement between al Qaeda and the state. The al Qaeda camp in Abu Jabara valley is funded by Saudi sources, the investigation found. After receiving arms and ammunition from the government, the al Qaeda mercenaries “attacked the rebels from behind” the Saudi border. The al Qaeda group coordinates through intermediaries at General Ali Mohsen al Ahmar’s office, the site said, noting some al Qaeda operatives were integrated directly into the military, and the group has freedom of movement across the Saudi/Yemeni border at the al Baqea crossing.

The sixth Sa’ada War took a heavy toll. Hundreds of thousands of civilians are internal refugees. Months of extensive bombing by Yemeni and Saudi air forces targeted markets, mosques, hospitals and refugees. Over 9000 structures were damaged. The Abu Jabara camp was not. It is thought that six western hostages kidnapped in June 2009, a German family and a British engineer, may be located in Abu Jabara. The external focus of al Qaeda in Yemen is a logical outcome of its merger with Yemeni state institutions.

Where's Rusty: Iceland Bans Strip Clubs Edition

Matthew Yglesias:

Iceland has decided to ban strip clubs, earning it the title of “the world’s most feminist country” from Guardian columnist Julie Bindel.
The official Jawa Report editorial response is as follows per Dr. Rusty Shackleford.

"Get Him Out Of Her Or I'm Going To Jail Today"

Spoken like a true ogreish thug teabagger! peaceful Democrat protester who has only the best possible intentions, the preservation of civil discourse and the well-being of all Americans in mind.

Images: Islamists Behead Pakistani Soldiers on Video

The newest propaganda video from the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan -- al Qaeda's Uzbek offshoot which operates in Pakistan, recruits heavily from Germany, and which has been given safe haven by the Taliban -- shows the group beheading and desecrating the bodies of Pakistani soldiers. I have posted images from the video below.

These types of gruesome beheading images were the norm for Islamist "resistance" groups from about 2003 - 2006. After that time they realized they didn't play well with the base and changed tactics so we started seeing fewer and fewer beheading images.

These types of images just don't fit the post-Zarqawi "we are the good guys" narrative that al Qaeda wants to put out there.

What's the most surprising about these images is that the victims are Muslims. Again, al Qaeda and it's affiliate groups want to portray Muslims as the victims of a global Jewish-Christian conspiracy against them. When, in fact, the vast majority of the victims of Islamist aggression are Muslims.

Fake But Accurate

The U.S. Energy Department and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency certify products as energy efficient in accordance with federal requirements.

Ostensibly, the consumer will benefit by purchasing items designated under the Energy Star Program.

Fifteen phony products — including a gasoline-powered alarm clock — won a label from the government certifying them as energy efficient in a test of the federal Energy Star program. Investigators concluded the program is “vulnerable to fraud and abuse.”

A report released Friday said government investigators tried to pass off 20 fake products as energy efficient and only two were rejected.

An official with the Energy Star Program is rumored to have said, "Oh s***! We gotta fix that."

Norman Leboon, Muslim Convert Arrested in Death Threat Against Rep Eric Cantor

A YouTube threat against Representative Eric Cantor has led to an arrest:

A 33-year-old Pennsylvania man has been arrested for threatening to kill Virginia Rep. Eric Cantor, the number two Republican in the House of Representatives, the Justice Department announced Monday.

Norman Leboon, a resident of Philadelphia, was charged in a two-count complaint with threatening to kill Cantor and his family. Leboon made the threat in a YouTube Internet video sent to Google earlier this month, according to a Justice Department news release.

Could it be this Norman Leboon?
One of the allegations against Verizon in the lawsuit is made by Philadelphia resident Norman LeBoon, who says after he read of the alleged surveillance of US citizens, he began asking Verizon if his landline communications were being shared. LeBoon says he eventually spoke with “Ellen” in Verizon customer service, who told him, “I can tell you, Mr. LeBoon, that your records have been shared with the government, but that’s between you and me.… They [Verizon] are going to deny it because of national security. The government is denying it and we have to deny it, too. Around here we are saying that Verizon has ‘plausible deniability.’”
And is this longwinded loon, Norman Leboon Sr. who claims to be a Shia Muslim, one and the same?

Michelle Malkin links to one of Leboon's YouTube accounts in which he claims to be the Mahdi.

UPDATE by Rusty: This guy is well known both on YouTube and on LiveLeak. In fact, we did a post about him a few months ago. I'll have to check the archives and find it.

The gist: the guy is a nut.

Update by Stable Hand: This dude is a gay American Shia Muslim suffering from MS who was active in CAIR. A person following him on line watched his mental breakdown. The bartender, a member of the YouTube Smackdown team. alerted me to his recent vids. Leboon was threatening to kill most everyone, Youtube employees, ABC employees, etc. & posted a lot of videos on his Youtube acct app 3 weeks ago stating such.

Youtube search for his vids here. It's mind boggling the amount of crazy vids he did.

According to bartender and others, the FBI & Muslim community thought he was a wacko and didn't pay much attention to him.

Thank God the FBI finally took notice He could have hurt a lot of people if he had carried out his threats. The dude is in need of extensive psychiatric care.

Stable Hand: Big h/t to bartender!!

Texas: Austin Chronicle Dhimmi

Richard Whitaker compares Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst to Omar the goat humping Bakri Mohammed

omar_bakri_mohammed_madrid.jpg
How is Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst like a radical Muslim leader? Because he's decided to get all condemnatory about the play Corpus Christi, thus drawing unwelcome and extraordinary attention to a student production and causing nine plays to be canceled over safety concerns.

The play by Texas-raised and Tony-nominated playwright Terrence McNally, about a gay Christ-like figure called Joshua, was to be part of a performance of one-act plays performed by students at Tarleton State University[...]

[Dewhurst]Every citizen is entitled to the freedom of speech, but no one should have the right to use government funds or institutions to portray acts that are morally reprehensible to the vast majority of Americans.[...]

This debacle places Dewhurst in strange company, since McNally was the subject of a fatwa issued by Sheik Omar Bakri Muhammad of the UK Shari’ah Court because of the same play.[...]

At the time, Bakri made it clear that, since McNally lived in the Dar al-Harb (the non-Muslim world), the fatwa was not legally binding and individuals should not act on it. Which gives it the same strength as, say, a press release that is going to be potentially read by unhinged fundamentalists who might scare people into closing a play down.

Ya, those pesky unhinged fundamentalists go around killing Jews, chopping peoples heads off and stuff.

Apparently Whittaker hasn't done research on alQaeda supporting Bakri the goat humper. We would have helped him out

Hmmm, wonder if Whittaker is related to Chuckie?

Explosions Reported On Moscow Subway UPDATE: 2 Female Suicide Bombers, Dozens Dead; Terrorists' Website Hosted in US

Possible suicide bombing.

At least 41 people were killed in two explosions that hit the Moscow metro during rush hour Monday, local news agencies reported.

The first hit the Lubyanka Metro Station in central Moscow about 7:56am local time (3:56am GMT), Russian news agency ITAR-TASS reported. Twenty-six were killed and 15 people were injured.

Sky News reported that a second explosion hit the Park Kultury station, three stations away on the same line, about 30 minutes later. AFP reported at least 15 people were killed.

RIA Novosti reported that a security source told the agency the Lubyanka station was hit by a bomb.

Interfax, quoting a Russian security source, reported the first blast may have been caused by a suicide bomber.

Chechens, anyone?

UPDATE by Rusty
: Two female suicide bombers, between 24 - 38 dead. Expect that number to rise.

Here's a video from Russia's English language news service.

And some cell phone vid from right after the blast.

Forget Chechnya. This isn't a "Chechen" problem. This is an "Islamic Emirate in the Caucuses" problem. That would be al Qaeda's arm in several Russian republics, Chechnya being one of many.

These Islamist "rebels" operate two websites. Openly.

The most important of these is the Kavkaz Center, which today blamed the blasts on .... Putin's crimes.

The Kavkaz Center operates from Sweden where it openly supports terrorism and raises funds for Islamist terrorists in Russia.

The second website is here. It is hosted in Texas.

I used to live in Moscow and have been to both the Lubyanka and Park Kulturi metro stations many times. I hope the bastards behind these blasts are found and killed.

FBI conducts raids. (UPDATE)

Something is afoot... multiple raids overnight in the upper mid-section of the country.

WXYZ

(WXYZ) - The FBI was conducting raids Saturday night at multiple locations in southeast Michigan.

Action News has learned Homeland Security and the Joint Anti-terrorism Task Force is also involved in a major operation.

Federal officials would not say who they were targeting or where, but the FBI has set up a command center at the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Department in Ann Arbor, where they have brought in two satellite trucks and a radio tower.

Agents have also obtained search warrants and multiple arrests have been made

Then raids by the Cleveland FBI inSandusky
A battalion of local officers and federal agents flooded the Bayshore Estates neighborhood Saturday afternoon.

A second raid was conducted in Huron. An FBI agent at the scene of the Bayshore Estates raid said a second, related raid was taking place at “another location.” Huron police confirmed late Saturday a raid had taken place in that city, but would say nothing more.

Likewise, FBI agents at the scene and at the Cleveland field office are staying mum on the cause of the commotion.

“We did make some arrests,” said special agent Scott Wilson of the FBI’s Cleveland office.

Updates when we get them...

Update(Matt Damon): Add another location to the list of raid locations...Hammond, Indiana.

Horowitz: An Anti-Semite In The White House(Updated - Satire)

David Horowitz[article deleted - click link]


Here is an AP dispatch I received today:

Shana Habbab (AP White House Correspondent)

(AP) — An unidentified Israeli official has confirmed that private discussions between President Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu included an urgent request from the President that the traditional closing refrain “next year in Jerusalem” be deleted during the upcoming Passover holiday, calling the ancient passage provocative and unhelpful for the future of peace talks. Calling it “an easy fix,” Obama strongly urged the Jewish People to replace it with “next year in peace” or “next year in Tel Aviv,” leaving the exact wording to final status talks between Israelis and Palestinians.

Here are some salient facts: The Palestinians are governed by two terrorist organizations who train school kids to aspire to kill Jews, and who have both declared their opposition to the very existence of a Jewish state and who have participated in five aggressive wars against Israel in the last 60 years. Just one of the sayings of their prophet Muhammad calls on all Muslims to go to war with the Jews and kill them, every last one. The official charter of Hamas, the ruling party in Gaza contains this genocidal incitement. The president has not asked Hamas to remove that statement from its charter.

Horowitz article was deleted is why it didn't connect. Commenter Moriah stated he/she received one and it was labeled satire. Needless to say I am none to pleased and apologize, BUT, the rest of my post remains:

I am still wondering about LA Times refusal to reveal, during the presidential elections, a videotape that shows Obama toasting PLO terrorist Rashid Khalidi during Khalidi's going away party.

Also, possibly related to this (thanks to Kenny Solomon) Hamas lays out their diplomatic plan for Arab/Israel conflict Remember Obama mentor Rev Wright published the Hamas terror manifesto?

Sen. Barack Obama's Chicago church reprinted a manifesto by Hamas that defended terrorism as legitimate resistance, refused to recognize the right of Israel to exist and compared the terror group's official charter – which calls for the murder of Jews – to America's Declaration of Independence.
Sadly, satire about this is believable due to Obama's actions.

Bloodbath in South Yemen Continues

Twenty people were wounded today when police opened fire on a funeral march in the restive town of Dhalie. Local reports indicated one person later died. The crowds had gathered to honor two victims killed when police broke up a anti-government protest on March 11.

Yemen launched a broad assault on its southern region earlier this month with ground troops and tanks following a US declaration that unrest in the south was a Yemeni internal affair.

In an escalating cycle of state violence, demonstrations against the siege were met with live fire, water cannons, tear gas and arrests. Cell phone communications were cut on the orders of the Ministry of Information which also ordered the seizure of al Jazeera and al Arabyia broadcast equipment.

Two protesters died earlier in the week after being shot by police during a protest in Dhalie on Thursday. Another 50 prisoners have been on a hunger strike since March 10. The men have been imprisoned for three years without a trial, News Yemen reported.

On March 24, a southern oppositionist was sentenced to ten years for “spreading hatred against unity.” Ahmed Ba-Muallim, a former Member of Parliament was arrested April 15, 2009. Ba-Muallim said he would not appeal because both the court and its verdict are illegitimate. There are hundreds of political prisoners jailed in Yemen.

In an ominous note, Yemeni state media reported that al Qaeda operatives are sheltering in mountains of Dhalie and Radfan, centers of the swelling independence movement in restive south Yemen. President Ali Abdullah Saleh regularly conflates his domestic opposition with al Qaeda. Analysts have raised concerns that Yemen will launch air strikes under the guise of counter-terrorism that instead target dissidents and oppositionists.

A Human Rights Watch statement urged the US and Yemen to “take all feasible precautions to ensure that counter terrorism operations do not harm the very people they aim to protect.” Human Rights Watch is particularly concerned about the potential for manipulation of intelligence because of Yemen’s inconsistent approach to confronting al Qaeda in the past and its history of resorting to repressive measures to quell political dissent. In December, an air strike targeting al Qaeda killed 42 civilians.

The protests were begun in 2007 by forcibly retired military officers seeking overdue pension compensation equivalent to their northern counterparts. The state offered to make some payments if the officers pledged to refrain from political activity. The offer was rejected.

General Nasser al Nuba, head of the Military Retire Coalition, today called for an investigation into the state's war crimes.

Peaceful protests turned bloody when police repeatedly used live fire against the demonstrators, killing dozens. Demonstrations marred by police violence and arbitrary arrests triggered new protests. Other tactics include targeted assassinations and denial of medical services.

The Southern independence movement is a popular movement with the active support of 70% of southerners, a recent poll found. Leadership is fragmented and often quarrelsome, reflecting unresolved power struggles dating back decades.

The southern narrative is based on the premise that after 1994’s civil war, unity was imposed by force and the south was plundered by northerners. Resentment simmered for a decade as discriminatory state practices excluded southerners from employment, scholarships and development. Yemen’s oil wealth, based in the south, was looted and overt land theft by military officers and state officials left southerners with no recourse to justice.

The Saleh regime has termed southerners apostates for a decade. Usama Bin Laden armed and funded Afghan Arabs fighting for President Saleh in 1994’s civil war between north and south.

Chicago Man Funded al Qaeda, Planned Stadium Attacks

A small fish? Maybe. The amount of money here is pretty small. The guy is a cab driver so he didn't have much money to give. But like the widow's mite, Khan's few hundred dollars were worth a million Saudi dinars.

But dig into the story and it looks like Khan had bigger plans. Like, blowing up an unnamed stadium. Insert inappropriate quip about helping the Cubs by blowing up Wrigley Field here.

Here's the entire press release from the DOJ. Emphasis is mine:

CHICAGO — A Chicago man who claims to be acquainted with an alleged terrorist leader in Pakistan was arrested today on federal charges of providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization for allegedly attempting to provide funds overseas to al Qaeda, federal law enforcement officials announced. Although the defendant, Raja Lahrasib Khan, a Chicago taxi driver and native of Pakistan who became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1988, allegedly discussed attacking a stadium in the United States this summer, there was no imminent domestic danger, officials said.

The investigation leading to Khan’s arrest is unrelated to a separate investigation that resulted in federal terrorism charges against Chicagoans Tahawwur Hussain Rana and David Coleman Headley in connection with the 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai and a plot to attack targets in Denmark, the officials added.

Khan, 56, of the city’s north side, was charged with two counts of providing material support to terrorism in a criminal complaint that was filed yesterday in U.S. District Court in Chicago and unsealed today following his arrest, announced Patrick J. Fitzgerald, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, and Robert D. Grant, Special Agent-in-Charge of the Chicago Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The investigation is continuing, they said.

Khan was arrested this morning while working in downtown Chicago without incident by the Chicago FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force. He was scheduled to appear at 3:30 p.m. today before U.S. Magistrate Judge Geraldine Soat Brown in Federal Court in Chicago.

"While there was no imminent danger in the Chicago area or elsewhere, these charges, once again, affirm that law enforcement must remain constantly vigilant to guard against domestic support of foreign terrorist organizations. I am deeply grateful to the FBI agents and other members of the Joint Terrorism Task Force for their extremely hard work on this matter," said Mr. Fitzgerald.

Mr. Grant said: "Over the past six months, FBI-led Joint Terrorism Task Forces across the country have disrupted plots, charged and apprehended a number of individuals and secured significant intelligence, which has been of benefit here and to our allies overseas. Notable as most of these successes have been, it also illustrates the reality of the environment we face today, along with the critical responsibility domestic law enforcement agencies and intelligence services have in protecting the public from the violent designs of others. It is a complex threat that we face and we are pleased with the results today," he added.

"Today’s arrest and charges are the result of an outstanding cooperative law enforcement and intelligence effort and underscore the domestic and international aspects of the terror threat we face," said David Kris, Assistant Attorney General for National Security.

According to a 35-page complaint affidavit, by at least 2008, Khan, who claims to have known Ilyas Kashmiri for approximately 15 years, learned that Kashmiri was working with al Qaeda, and that Kashmiri was purportedly receiving orders from al Qaeda’s leader, Osama bin Laden. According to Khan, during his meeting or meetings with Kashmiri, among other things, Khan learned that Kashmiri wanted to train operatives to conduct attacks in the United States; Kashmiri showed Khan a video depicting the detonation of an improvised explosive device; and Kashmiri told Khan that he needed money, in any amount, to be able to purchase materials from the "black market."

The complaint identifies Kashmiri as the leader in Kashmir of Harakat ul-Jihad-I-Islami (HUJI), a Sunni extremist group located in Pakistan and Kashmir with links to al Qaeda. In a reported interview last October, Kashmiri purportedly said that he had joined forces with al Qaeda. In January 2010, Kashmiri, together with a former Pakistani military officer, Rana and Headley, were indicted in Chicago for their alleged roles in a conspiracy to murder and maim persons in a planned attack against the facilities and employees of the Danish newspaper Morgenavisen Jyllands-Posten, in Denmark, as retribution for the publication of cartoons that depicted the Prophet Mohammed.

The charges against Khan allege that on Nov. 23, 2009, he sent a money transfer of approximately $950 from a currency exchange located on North LaSalle Street in Chicago to Individual A, who was in either Mirpur or Bhimber, in Pakistan. Khan later spoke with Individual A by telephone and instructed him to give "Lala" 25,000 Pakistani rupees (approximately $300) of the money he had sent. According to the affidavit, Khan told an undercover agent that "Lala," which means "older brother" in Urdu, is a nickname Khan uses to refer to Kashmiri, who he told the agent he had met most recently in 2008 in Miran Shah in northwest Pakistan. Khan also told the agent that Khan believed that his telephones were being monitored, and if Khan or the undercover agent were ever questioned about their discussions regarding "Lala," they should claim to have been referring to Khan’s actual older brother.

Just two weeks ago, on March 11, Khan and an associate, identified as "Individual B," allegedly had a discussion during which they appeared to talk about attacking a stadium in the United States in "August." Among other things, Khan described that bags containing remote controlled bombs could be placed in several different locations, and then "boom, boom, boom, boom." Khan further said that he would ask "Lala" [Kashmiri] to teach him how to conduct such an attack, the complaint alleges. However, there are no allegations that Khan either knew Kashmiri’s current whereabouts or had yet discussed his stadium plan with him.

On March 17, after agreeing to personally deliver to Kashmiri any funds that the undercover agent wanted to provide, Khan allegedly accepted $1,000 (ten $100 bills) from the agent. The complaint states that Khan accepted these funds after having had prior conversations with the undercover agent in which: Khan confirmed that Kashmiri was working with al Qaeda; Khan assured that Kashmiri would use the undercover agent’s funds to purchase weapons and, possibly, other supplies; Khan assured that he had provided Kashmiri with money in the past, including in approximately December 2009; and Khan discussed the possibility of having his son transport the money from the United States to England, where Khan would rendevous with his son, retrieve the money, and deliver it to Kashmiri in Pakistan.

On March 23, government agents at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport came into contact with Khan’s son, who was traveling to England. During this contact, agents discovered that Khan’s son possessed seven of the ten $100 bills that the undercover agent had given to Khan, according to the affidavit.

Each count of providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. If convicted, the court is required to impose a reasonable sentence under the advisory United States Sentencing Guidelines.

The ongoing investigation is being conducted by the Chicago FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force, with particular assistance from the Chicago Police Department, the Illinois State Police, and the Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The prosecution is being handled by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Christopher Veatch and Steven Dollear, of the Northern District of Illinois, with assistance from the Counterterrorism Section of the Justice Department’s National Security Division.

The public is reminded that a criminal complaint contains mere allegations that are not evidence of guilt. The defendant is presumed innocent and is entitled to a fair trial at which the government has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

FBI investigating "final call to Islam" emails sent to Kansas legislators by Dallas-area Muslim (bumped) ***UPDATED***

*********Sticky - scroll down for newer posts**********
The FBI and Homeland Security are presently investigating a series of emails sent by a Dallas-area Muslim, Javid Kamal, to Kansas legislators over the past month. Legislators in other states have also received emails.

What has investigators concerned is that the last email dated March 21st from Kamal appears to be a "final call to Islam" that under Islamic law is necessary before waging jihad against non-Muslims. Kamal explicitly states that this was his "final call":

This is perhaps my last email to Senators, House of Representatives/Delegates/Assembly and Staff Members of United States of America unless compelled by any people.

A former FBI counter-terrorism agent who was asked to analyze Kamal's emails stated:

This is a significant danger because of the requirement in Islam to invite ("Dawah" in Islam) non-Muslims to Islam prior to an attack ("Jihad" in Islam). It is my professional opinion that this direct Dawah to the entire Kansas legislature and the emphasis that Monday's email is Javid Kamal's "final" email inviting them to Islam, is a direct threat to the Kansas legislature and others to which Kamal communicated, and is a prelude to a jihadi attack.

Oh, did I forget to mention that when the Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) went to Kamal's workplace earlier this week to question him about the emails, they discovered that not only was Javid Kamal not at work, nor could he be located, but also no one, including his family, knows his whereabouts?

CAIR press release claiming religious discrimination against Kamal in 4...3...2...

UPDATE: The Dallas FBI located Javid Kamal today and interviewed him. He is being detained because they discovered during the investigation that he is in the country illegally and the FBI is working with CPB to have him deported. Because he's not a threat or anything like that.

Congressional Black Caucus Members Video'd the 'Racist' Tea Party Crowd in D.C. Where's their Footage?

Certain members of the Congressional Black Caucus made their way through a crowd of tea partiers in D.C. on Saturday. They claim the crowd was shouting the N-word and even spitting on them. There's a whole bunch of video footage of their walk through the crowd. None of the available footage includes any individual shouting any racial epithets, and certainly doesn't show a crowd chanting anything other than "Kill the Bill!"

Of course, that doesn't necessarily prove anything. It's theoretically possible that a part of the crowd very close to the CBC members were shouting things that didn't make it on the video CLIPS, which were shot from different vantage points.

On the other hand, it turns out the folks making the racism charges shot their own video footage from their own point of view. If there were any racial epithets lobbed at the CBC members, it would certainly have been picked up by their own cameras. Has any of this footage been made public? If not, why not?

Who The F**k Is Leaking Classified Information To CNN?

File this under assmaggots/traitors.

Via Brad Thor at Big Journalism

On Wednesday, CNN’s Pentagon correspondent, Barbara Starr reported on multiple, highly sensitive documents that had been “provided” to CNN and which detail valuable, strategic intelligence gathered by the Department of Defense in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

It should come as no surprise that Starr made sure to highlight all of the juicy details. She not only revealed U.S. knowledge of a covert meeting between Hamid Karzai’s brother and Mullah Baradar (a top Taliban leader who was later arrested in Pakistan), as well as a secret audio message played to Taliban commanders from reclusive Taliban leader, Mullah Omar, but she went on to inform the entire world that the United States has a safe house in Kabul (used by members of the Haqqani terror network) currently under surveillance. Great work Barbara!

Would anyone care to wager that within hours of Starr’s story being published on the Internet that the Haqqani network began sanitizing and abandoning all of its safe houses in Kabul?

GITMO: First Reported Recidivist Released by the Obama Administration

Nasty dude, yet was still released. Nice going Obi One.

Via Thomas Joscelin/Bill Roggio

The former Guantanamo detainee transferred from the detention facility to Afghanistan on Dec. 19, 2009, has already returned to the Taliban’s ranks, according to multiple intelligence officials contacted by the Long War Journal. The former detainee was identified in documents produced at Guantanamo as Abdul Hafiz (as well as an alternative name, Abdul Qawi) and given an internment serial number of 1030.[...]

John Brennan, who is President Obama’s chief counterterrorism adviser, confirmed in a Feb. 1 letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that the recidivism rate for former Gitmo detainees had risen to 20 percent. This figure included both “confirmed” and “suspected” cases documented by the Pentagon in a regularly updated analysis of recidivism.

Brennan argued that all of the recidivists had been transferred or released during the previous administration. “I want to underscore the fact that all of these cases relate to detainees released during the previous Administration and under the prior detainee review process,” Brennan wrote. Brennan cited “significant improvements to the detainee review process” that had been made by the Obama administration.

Brennan added that the Pentagon’s updated recidivism “report indicates no confirmed or suspected recidivists among detainees transferred during this Administration, although we recognize the ongoing risk that detainees could engage in such activity.”

Abdul Hafiz’s recidivism highlights that risk. He was transferred to Afghanistan just a few months ago and has already assumed a leadership position within the Taliban’s ranks once again. By some estimates, it takes an average of one and a half years for Gitmo recidivists to rejoin the fight.

Hafiz returned to the fight in far less time. [ more]

Obama Is Going To Pay For My Gas & Mortgage - Damn Straight, It's Begun

The mortgage part anyway

The Obama administration plans to overhaul how it’s tackling the foreclosure crisis, in part by requiring lenders to temporarily slash or eliminate monthly mortgage payments for many borrowers who are unemployed, senior officials said Thursday.

Banks and other lenders would have to reduce the payments to no more than 31 percent of a borrower’s income, which would typically be their unemployment insurance, for up to six months. In some cases, administration officials said, a lender could allow a borrower to make no payments at all.

Israeli Soldiers Clash With Hamas In Intense Firefight

The brush off Obi One gave Israeli Prime Minister Netanjahu apparently further emboldened the terrorists. Nice going Obi One.

Via FNC

Israeli soldiers clashed with militants Friday inside the Hamas-run Gaza Strip in some of the fiercest fighting there since the January 2009 Gaza war.

Witnesses said Friday's firefight began when an explosion, possibly caused by an anti-armor rocket fired by militants from the nearby Palestinian town of Khan Younis, hit an Israeli army patrol on the central Gazan border, Reuters reported.[...]

The Israeli military provided no information on the clashes. The Hamas military wing's Web site said its gunmen were involved -- a departure from the Islamic militant group's tendency over the past year to avoid confrontation with Israeli forces.

The Israeli soldiers are in my thoughts and prayers.

Jihadi Cool?

This NPR report cites a study that Islam is becoming mess of an inspiration to Jihad. What do wannabe Jihadis really want? To trade their goat for a human female.

NPR: With so many terrorism cases emerging in the U.S. in the past nine months, experts are trying to understand why so much is happening now. One explanation has less to do with religion than with adventure. The latest wave of jihadists traveling to Pakistan and elsewhere for training may have been motivated by a sense of jihadi cool.

"We have ethnographies where they actually ask militants what drew you to this movement," she says. "The top three answers were motorcycles, guns and access to women. You had to go pretty far down the list to get to religious motivation."

...FBI Director Robert Mueller says the Internet is partly to blame for speeding up the recruitment process. He says the Web now not only radicalizes young Muslims but helps connect them to organizations that launch attacks. Jihadi cool may be a different motivation for taking up arms, but it isn't necessarily any less lethal.

Well its cool that finally someone else learned to use teh Google to find the online Jihad after all these years. Almost innovative....(end sarcasm)

The NPR report went on this morning and one of the reporters made the comment that she is surprised there are not more "Jihad Janes".

Actually there are.....

Responsibility: Government Debt Will Reach 90% of GDP

HOPE! CHANGE! Crippling economic malfeasance perpetrated on the American public by the Democrat Party! SHUT UP, AMERICA. OBAMA'S IN CHARGE:

President Obama's fiscal 2011 budget will generate nearly $10 trillion in cumulative budget deficits over the next 10 years, $1.2 trillion more than the administration projected, and raise the federal debt to 90 percent of the nation's economic output by 2020, the Congressional Budget Office reported Thursday.
Boy. That's just awesome, according to Obamazombies. Unprecedented, even.

Bibi Humiliated? No, Obama Is A Foreign Policy Juvenile!

As an American citizen and proud conservative that respects and appreciates our true allies, I would like to apologize to Israel for the actions of our charismatic, clean, foreign policy toddler. He gives good speeches but projects the respectfulness and appropriateness of a crap-flinging Gibbon.

Times Online:

For a head of government to visit the White House and not pose for photographers is rare. For a key ally to be left to his own devices while the President withdraws to have dinner in private was, until this week, unheard of. Yet that is how Binyamin Netanyahu was treated by President Obama on Tuesday night, according to Israeli reports on a trip viewed in Jerusalem as a humiliation.

After failing to extract a written promise of concessions on settlements, Mr Obama walked out of his meeting with Mr Netanyahu but invited him to stay at the White House, consult with advisers and “let me know if there is anything new”, a US congressman, who spoke to the Prime Minister, said.

Obama takes his ball and goes home because the other kids aren't doing what he wants. Good for you Binyamin for not backing down. Don't worry Israel...Barack "Lame Duck" Obama will lose control in a few months, insha'allah.

Two Jailed Editors Released in Yemen as US Notes Atrocities

Two editors were released from jail in Yemen today after months without charges.

Mohammed al Maqaleh had reported on a military air strike in September 2009 that killed dozens of war refugees. He was severely tortured in prison. Hisham Bashraheel is the editor of Al Ayyam, a long established southern daily that reported the news of escalating civil unrest in southern Yemen.

Torture is endemic in Yemen. In February, tens of thousands of Southern Yemenis joined the funeral march for 28 year old Fares Zaid al Tamah, who died in police custody in Aden. Mr. al Tamah was allegedly tortured to death in another incident of escalating government violence against activists and protesters in Yemen.

The US State Department's report Human Rights Practices in Yemen notes a significant increase in human rights abuses in 2009, including numerous incidents of police shooting unarmed protesters, repetitive military bombing of civilians and brutal torture in jail. There are thousands of political prisoners in jail in Yemen, often reformers, democracy advocates, intellectuals and secularists.

Locals Kill Suicide Bomber Before Detonation

New Go to Hell and Die version of Afghani Sharia Law carried out on a Pakistani would-be suicide bomber before he could detonate his vest. Most are stoned for adultery after the act but this guy was knifed and stoned before he could f*(k himself.

The incident occurred in the Muqur district of Afghanistan's Ghazni province, according to Kheyal Mohammad Sherzai, a police chief in the province.

The suicide attacker was from Pakistan's Warizistan area, authorities said.

The people who intervened in the incident pelted the man with stones and slashed him with knives and were able to kill the man and give the suicide vest to police.

Good for them! Sounds like that martyrdom operation didn't go per plan.

Cuban Bridge Troll Cheers On Obama's Communist Health Care Takeover

Wonder what they're cheering for in Cuba - the world's finest provider of health care, political freedom, societal wealth, etc.:

Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro on Thursday declared passage of American health care reform "a miracle" and a major victory for Obama's presidency, but couldn't help chide the United States for taking so long to enact what communist Cuba achieved decades ago.
Isn't that awesome? We're finally "catching up" to the oppressive, poverty-stricken, third world ashtray of Cuba! Wouldn't it be awesome if we just ended up like Cuba? I can't wait to see the utopia that's surely just around the corner!

Maybe we can eventually have a tyrannical murderer and blustering anthropoid "leader" like they do - one that cares about "the poor." An Obamacrat can dream!

The Scent of Weakness

fb_yon.jpgVia Michael Yon

Kandahar Province, Afghanistan
25 March 2010

Dogs have been trained to carry bombs to attack enemies for decades. The Soviets and others have used dogs as low-tech smart bombs. Yet canine platoons likely would rebel if they caught scent they were being duped to die.

Today, more sophisticated people employ men (mostly) to deliver bombs in Afghanistan. Gullible souls are selected, conditioned, trained and deployed. Malleable minds are identified then loaded with psychic software that uses their minds to create a vision. Evil persons of superior intellect identify the raw material—that raw material might be an engineer from a stable family—and trains them to fetch myths.

Suicide attackers have murdered countless thousands of people around the world. They go by various names, such as Kamikaze, Black Tiger, and Martyr.

The attackers are not all men. Some are Tigresses. My friend Alex Perry met a wannabe Black Tigress in Sri Lanka. She was 18. Alex described the girl in Time Magazine:[...]

We face an increasing number of suicide murders here in the “Muslim world”—in places where suicide attacks were previously unheard of. Some people are coerced into suicide, such as the unfortunate women who were raped and defiled in Iraq, then shamed and coerced into suicide for the sake of “honor.” Or the case of a young Libyan, captured by soldiers from a unit I was with in Iraq. The Libyan was thankful for his capture: Iraqis were trying to force him to wear a suicide bomb. [ Rest]

Terrorists suck.

So akhi, you wanna be martyr's because cowards told you to do it?

Caution images are VERY disturbing:

Allah doesn't allow suicide bombers into paradise, they would smell up the place, and Allah knows best.

Eric Cantor's (R) Office Shot Up By Teabagger Some Individual Loner Nutjob With No Affiliation to Any Democrat or Democrat Political Cause Like The Massive Socialist Health Care Bill That the Democrats Passed

UPDATE: A police report suggested that Cantor's window was struck by a bullet that was allegedly 'randomly fired.' So now we can call him a "liar," because he didn't just automatically assume that a bullet that hit his office window (the same way Bush/Cheney campaign HQs were shot up during the Bush admin) might have been fired by some person randomly firing a gun somewhere off in the distance miles away (probably some McCain/Palin supporter, who are known just randomly shoot guns into the air while attending their cross-burning rallies with Hitler). Of course, if the bullet had killed anybody, he also would be a "liar" if he suspected foul play because...well, we're not sure why he should assume that. I guess 'these things happen.' Bullets just randomly hit Congresspeople's offices after contentious votes all the time - doesn't Cantor know this? F-ing liar.

When Leftwingers Attack

We've heard a lot about (but, curiously, have not seen evidence of) "violent right wing anger" in the news the last few days.

Of course, being an Obamacrat means turning off the inconvenient portions of your memory to suit whatever you view as your political objective for that particular time and place. Political violence and vandalism from the left, which was commonplace during the Bush years, was well-known and ignored (or even celebrated as "righteous)." Murder fantasies about killing George W. Bush were vogue. Movies about killing Bush were "edgy" and "provacative." All was well until those damned rightwingurrrrz started, like, disagreeing and protesting and stuff. How dare they speak!

Behold, left wing "nonviolence:"

* It was not the fear of conservative violence that caused Ann Coulter's speech to be canceled this week.
* It was a liberal who bit the finger off a man who disagreed with him on health care.
* It was Obama-loving Amy Bishop who took a gun to work and murdered co-workers.
* Joseph Stack flew his plane into the IRS building after writing an
anti-conservative manifesto.

* It was liberals who destroyed AM radio towers outside of Seattle.
* It's liberals who burn down Hummer dealerships.
* It was progressive SEIU union thugs who beat a black conservative man who spoke his mind.
* It's doubtful that a conservative fired shots into a GOP campaign headquarters.
* In fact, Democrats have no monopoly on having their offices vandalized.
* Don't forget it was Obama's friend Bill Ayers who used terrorism as a tool for political change. SDS is still radical, with arrests in 2007 and the storming of the CATO Institute in July 2008.
* It was a liberal who was sentenced to two years for bringing bombs and riot shields to the Republican National Convention in 2008.
* It was a liberal who threatened to kill a government informant who infiltrated her Austin-based group that planned to bomb the RNC.
* It was liberals who assaulted police in Berkeley.
* It was liberals who intimidated and threw rocks through the windows of researchers.
* The two Black Panthers who stood outside polls intimidating people with nightsticks were probably not right-wingers.
* Every time the G20 gets together, it's not conservatives who destroy property and cause chaos.
Well, apparently, all the victims and potential victims of those attacks and incidents "deserved it" or something. Because, uh, they don't hold "correct" beliefs like Democrats do.

I would also add that transgendered Democrat thug who vandalized a Democrat office in Colorado trying to get the media to pin the blame on "right wingers." And got busted doing so.

So the next time some Obama-gargling wanker starts whining about "the violence" he fears will come to him because of his political posturing, remind him where the real political violence in America comes from and where it has always come from. You can do this by handing him a mirror.

Obama Administration's "Midas Touch" That Turns Everything To Crap Touches Isreal

Interesting, isn't it? We were told that the Obama Administration would do well to "repair our damaged image around the world."

And yet, with an ally that we have stood by for decades as the lone standard bearer of American values like capitalism, liberal democracy and representative government, the Obama Administration - courtesy of the walking gluteus maximus with hair plugs known as VP Joe Biden - destroyed that relationship and reduced it to its worst levels since the 1970s.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A last-ditch effort to heal the deep dispute between two longtime allies failed when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the United States' main Mideast envoy were unable to resolve a rift over new Israeli housing in east Jerusalem.
Israel wants to build housing developments on Jewish land in the Jewish capitol city, a move that was approved long before Obama took office. For this heinous crime of Jews existing in Israel, the Palestinians are angry. As is Obama. For some reason.

This must be that "smart power" we heard so much about in 2008.

Book review: Buried Alive

The True Story of Kidnapping, Captivity, and a Dramatic Rescue by Roy Hallums

here are some books which you almost dread starting because you know really bad things are going to happen in them. Buried Alive: The True Story of Kidnapping, Captivity, and a Dramatic Rescue was such a book. In it Roy Hallums (with Audrey Hudson) tells the story of his 2004 kidnapping by a group of Islamic terrorists from an office in Baghdad, the 311 days of his captivity, and his eventual rescue. The book lived up to all my fears. It is a grueling account of man’s inhumanity to man. But it ends up being much more than a portrayal of humanity at its worst, in large part due to Hallums himself.

WASHINGTON -- Senate Republicans succeeded early Thursday in forcing a change in a measure altering President Barack Obama's newly enacted health care overhaul, meaning the bill will have to return to the House for final congressional approval.

It was initially unclear how much of a problem this posed for Democrats hoping to rush the bill to Obama and avoid further congressional votes on what has been a politically painful ordeal for the party[Amen to that]. Obama signed the main legislation, making sweeping changes in the country's health care system, into law on Tuesday after more than a year of battling with Republicans and struggling to round up sufficient Democratic support.

Jim Manley, spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, said Republicans consulting with the Senate parliamentarian had found "two minor provisions" that violate Congress' budget rules. The provisions deal with Pell grants for low-income students[...[

The development came as the Senate completed nine hours of uninterrupted voting on 29 GOP amendments to the legislation. Majority Democrats defeated every amendment.

Around and around we go on the liberal merry-go-round. Where it stops nobody knows.

Update: Others weighing in:

This shit is bananas. Fox News is going to crap its collective pants. In a good way at least for them. But we’ll have to smell it. And that’s bad for us. It’s bad for America. There will be much gloating, the Democrats are going to lose their minds, and Facebook will explode in a war of “That’s what Hitler said!”

Yeah, it’s gonna be pretty awesome, news-wise.

Pallywood's Magic Bullet

You know the one that impacts, yet shows up perfectly undamaged on X-rays:

An Israeli human rights group is calling for an investigation into the deaths of two Palestinians who died as a results of wounds they sustained during a riot in Nablus. Israeli forces claim they fired rubber-coated bullets in an attempt to disperse a violent crowd. But B’Tselem claims that an X-ray of the skull of Osayed Qadus clearly shows a regular rifle bullet in his head. And a claim that live bullets were fired at Palestinian protesters is nothing more or less than an accusation of attempted murder.

Indeed, the image released to the media does seem to show what may be a bullet in what is purported to be the skull of Osayed Qadus. Unfortunately for B’Tselem and for the credibility of the Palestinian doctors at Nablus Specialty Hospital, the identity of who put the bullet in Qadus’ head is very much in doubt.

Kenya: Ooops, Sorry We Accidentally Released Aussie Al Shabaab Terrorist

Well maybe not accidentally, one of us may have been bribed

Police in Kenya say they have mistakenly released a terror suspect wanted in connection with planned attacks in Australia, though there are rumors that a bribe was paid for his freedom. Three Kenyan police and two businessmen have been arrested in connection.

Hussein Hashi Farah was detained this month by Kenyan authorities after crossing into the country from Uganda at the border town of Busia on an Australian passport. The BBC reports that border police conducting a check on the man found his name on an international terror watch list due to “credible information” linking him to a 2009 terror plot against targets in Australia.

Pakistan Kills 21 Terrorists

AFP:

PESHAWAR, Pakistan — Pakistan's armed forces launched an assault Wednesday on Taliban hideouts in the northwest tribal belt, killing at least 21 militants in firefights and bombing raids, officials said.

The operation began hours after a US drone aircraft fired two missiles into a compound in North Waziristan tribal district near the Afghan border, killing at least six suspected militants in the latest strike by the spy planes.

Pakistani paramilitary troops began operations just after midnight Wednesday to flush out militants from the outskirts of the main town in the Orakzai tribal district, senior security officials in the region said.

Security Team Stops Somali Pirate Attack Killing One

CNN:

A pirate was killed and several others were detained after a security team thwarted an attack in waters off Somalia, authorities said Wednesday.

The incident happened Tuesday as a Panamanian-flagged cargo ship, the MV Almezaan, was headed to Mogadishu, said the European Union Naval Force.

A private security team that was on board the ship returned fire when pirates tried to attack the vessel. The security team was able to repel two attack attempts.

The EU naval force was called in, boarded the three pirate ships and detained six suspects. They also found one pirate who had died of a gunshot wound,


FT: Paris Scraps Carbon Tax Plan

So the French Government abandoned their planned Environmental Tax because Man-made Global Warming is junk science, or more appropriately a religious belief? No. It was abandoned because being a French only tax would put French industry at a disadvantage to it's European competitors. Yes. This argument does hold water but can, and should, be applied to a larger scale than Europe. Same goes for USA vs it's competitors, which is the global economy.

I thought this was a funny quote in the Financial Times article:

The decision to ditch the tax divided the government. Chantal Jouanno, the junior minister for the environment, lashed out at the decision saying she “despaired of this retreat”.

France has retreated from a lot of things...this looks more like sound economic common sense than dropping guns and running.

COLUMBIA, S.C. – A former South Carolina lawmaker is suing cable TV channels HBO and Showtime, claiming they promoted his low-budget comedy about Appalachia called "The Hills Have Thighs" only to instead show a soft-core pornographic movie with the same title.

James "Bubba" Cromer said the mix-up defamed him and caused emotional distress, according to a lawsuit filed Monday in Los Angeles. He accuses HBO and Showtime of negligence and is seeking unspecified damages.

Then the appointed hour arrived, with a surprising plot twist: "I saw a set of thighs and realized instantly that wasn't my movie."

For an action flick it was good. But I'm still scratching my head as to whether I liked the ending. Any non-spoiler opinions on that?

Police Note The Cyberjihad

Police1.com

Media coverage of jihadists has often focused on acts of violence in the physical world, such as suicide bombings and shooting sprees. Less publicized, however, is the growing importance of the virtual world to the extremist groups that make the news. The free territory of cyberspace offers them a virtual sanctuary where they may plan, train for, and finance physical attacks. The jihadists' operations are facilitated by web-based services and applications, such as social networking sites, encryption programs, and streaming video.

Organizations such as al-Qaeda and factions of the organizations Hamas and Hezbollah have used the Internet to propagate their extremist religious ideology. Members of these organizations use many of the most popular social-networking sites

...Despite the advantages of social-networking sites for centralized and controlled collaboration, they also pose security risks to the extremist sects that use them. Infiltration is one danger; just as extremist groups will attempt to hide their operations, law enforcement and intelligence agencies will attempt to discover them. Security may also be compromised because extremist groups do not own the social-networking sites they use.

No Camera Action For US Ally - Israel (UPDATE)

obama-netanyahu.jpg

Praise our enemies and diss our ally

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama is meeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Tuesday at the White House — his first meeting with the Israeli leader since the recent spat over Israel's announcement of new housing construction for east Jerusalem.

However, the afternoon meeting will be closed to reporters, an unusual choice when hosting a close ally and a sign that suggested the rift may not be entirely healed.

Obama has remained out of the fray as Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and other U.S. officials have rebuked Israel for its announcement of new construction in Jerusalem, which came while Vice President Joe Biden was visiting the country.

Maybe Obi One is afraid of WHAT Netanyahu will say.

Cartoon Taqiyya in The Press

Note the headline: Spain seeking 18-month jail terms for 2 over cartoons deemed as praising terrorism.

Kinda gives you the impression that the cartoons are the main issue here. As if just a sympathetic cartoon is the issue.

Since 2006 he has also posted more than 1,500 entries in a restricted-access Web forum in which he praised al-Qaida and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, its leader in Iraq until he was killed in a U.S. missile strike in 2006, prosecutor Teresa Sandoval said in a charge sheet presented at the suspects' trial on Monday.

The Moroccan, Fath Allah Sadaq, is charged with using drawings done by the Spaniard to accompany Islamic terror attack videos he posted on the Internet.

So its not just the cartoons. Sadaq was spreading the propaganda from terrorist groups and expressing support and advocacy for these groups. Seems like that should be the focus of the story.

Oh and he didn't mean to express support for terrorism over 1500 hundred times, really

Sadaq, I just wanted to comment on news in a positive way and did not mean to praise bad people.
These aren't the cartoons we're looking for.

Move along.

Senior al-Shabab Commander Assassinated - Confirmed

Imperial Good News! At least three masked men armed with pistols shot Sheikh Daud Ali Hasan several times in the head and chest as he was coming out of a mosque Friday night (3-19-10) in Kismayo.

The reason this is awesomeness, besides having a dead bad guy, is this targeted assassination happened in Kismayo, where the Government has no presence and the terrorists are in complete control.

And on queue, after the objective Shabelle radio confirmed the hit, my buddy Asadullah Alshishani at Ansar al-Mujahideen forum went into his bit about the CIA and Mossad pigs murdering a great man. Blah, blah, blah. How many times do I have to tell you AA, United Islamic Jihad and I both think you spend too much time slapping goat ass.

Teh Juice: Scapegoat to the World

deathtojuice.JPG

But especially to one group:

Sadly, the Jewish people have been used as scapegoat for many centuries by a variety of non-Jews. Regrettably, Muslims for their part and have adopted scapegoating as an article of faith. The Muslims blame the Jews for all kinds of heinous things, dating back to the time of Muhammad himself.

Iranians are saddened and ashamed both by the appearance of Ahmadinejad on the international scene and his declared intent to wipe out the Jewish homeland from the face of the earth. Ahmadinejad repeatedly says that the Holocaust is a myth. In this respect, he is in good company with a number of other fanatics. It goes without saying that Ahmadinejad does not represent Iranian people and he is not an Iranian himself.

Hmmmm: Pakistan Arrests Two in Foiled Attack on Hotels

Yahoo News:

ISLAMABAD – Pakistani officials say two highly experienced Taliban militants have been arrested while planning to attack top hotels and kidnap diplomats in Pakistan. One of the men claims to have helped plan previous attacks.

The two men, both deserters from a government paramilitary force, were arrested recently in a hotel in Rawalpindi, a crowded city near Islamabad, said Islamabad Police Chief Bin Yamin. He declined to say when the men were arrested or what information lead authorities to them.

Deserters from a "government paramilitary force" eh?

Would that be ISI or the Taliban?

Spring Break Blogging

As a hared working academic meathead, I deserve a vacation. I mean, they make me teach several classes each semester, force me to sit in my office for at least ten hours a week waiting for that elusive student to walk in, and then at least twice a month sit on committees deciding the fate of the world.

All this adds up to at least 20 hours a week working, which exceeds the legal maximum in France by at least twice!

Needless to say, I deserve a vacation.

Unfortunately, even with the addition of all this crazy blog money I'm only bringing home about a buck-fiddy a day. Which means I'm on vacation but my plans to spend spring break in Tahiti have been thwarted once again.

In lieu of Tahiti I'm going to grab me a six pack and head down to the river to try my luck at being mosquito bait. Who knows, a fish might accidentally jump in the boat. That would be sweet.

And if I slip on a rock and break my back, no biggie since I'm assured that from now on health care will be plentiful and cheap.

So, technically I'm here but I'm going to avoid you guys like the plague. I might drop in from time to time this week and post here and there, but don't bet on it. Let's admit it, would you hang out with you if you had a choice?

Email me if you want to know how the fishing is going, other than that let me make my exit stage left by paraphrasing Cartman -- screw you guys, I'm going fishing!

Taliban Bombs 12 Afghan Civilians

Apparently the Taliban just aren't getting the level of quality out of their current crop of suckers that they'd hoped for.

Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Ten Afghan civilians were killed and seven others were wounded in a suicide attack Sunday in southern Afghanistan's Helmand province, a provincial spokesman said.

Dawoud Ahmadi said the attack was targeting an Afghan National Army vehicle, but the bomber missed it and hit a bazaar, or market, in the Gereshk district instead.

He noted that the area is very busy due to Norooz, a two-week holiday that marks the start of spring and the new year for many in Afghanistan, Iran and other countries.

Separately, Ahmadi said police in Helmand arrested five members of the Taliban, who allegedly were carrying Iranian-made weapons.

Well no wonder, ya'll been hanging with those filthy murtad the Shia. How do you expect Allah to bless and guide your illiterate Sunni teenage bombs after that?

Afghan Hezb-i-Islami In Peace Talks With Karzai

Peace agreements in this region are usually not worth the paper they are written on but what the hell. If it weakens the Taliban as a side effect, I'm all for it. But Karzai, just because you ink a deal doesn't mean you take your eyes of your six.

Soon to be banned Fox News:

The five-member delegation of Hezb-i-Islami, a movement led by warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, has already arrived in Kabul, said the group's spokesman Haroon Zarghoon, who is based in Pakistan. The delegates plan to meet President Hamid Karzai, U.S. officials and others "to discuss Hezb-i-Islami's agenda on how to bring durable peace to Afghanistan," Zarghoon told The Wall Street Journal.

A reconciliation between Hezb-i-Islami and the Kabul government won't end the eight-year-old war by itself. But, if achieved, it would weaken the insurgency—and likely prompt some senior Taliban commanders to cut their own deals with Karzai.

US Issues Maritime Terrorism Warning off Yemen

Yahoo News:

DUBAI (Reuters) – The U.S. government has warned ships sailing off Yemen's coast of the risk of al Qaeda attacks similar to a suicide bombing of the U.S. warship Cole in 2000 that killed 17 U.S. sailors.

The U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence said on its website that ships in the Red Sea, the strategic Bab al-Mandab strait between Yemen and Djibouti, and the Gulf of Aden along Yemen's coast were at the greatest risk.

"Information suggests that al Qaeda remains interested in maritime attacks in the Bab al-Mandab Strait, Red Sea, and the Gulf of Aden along the coast of Yemen," the office said in a statement, citing an advisory by the U.S. Department of Transportation.

"Although it is unclear how they would proceed, it may be similar in nature to the attacks against the USS Cole in October 2000 and the M/V Limburg in October 2002 where a small to mid-size boat laden with explosives was detonated," it added.

Interesting, but even more interesting. Check out the related video on the upper left.

US drone strike kills four in NW Pakistan

Dawn

MIRANSHAH: Missiles fired from US drones Sunday killed at least four militants in a restive Pakistani tribal area bordering Afghanistan, security officials said.

“A US drone fired two missiles on a militant compound near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Four militants were killed,” a senior security official told AFP.

“It is not immediately clear if there was any important target,” he added.

Two other security officials and an intelligence official confirmed the drone strike and death toll in the Inzar village of North Waziristan tribal district.

“The targeted compound belongs to a relative of a militant commander,” the official said, adding that the militants had not yet begun rescue activities as US drones were still flying above the site.

“Militants have not started removing bodies yet,” he said.

And the war goes on...

Update(Matt Damon):Deathtoll up to eight...targeted building is still burning....everyone say Awwwwwwwwww.....:-)

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu: "Israel Won't Change It's Policies"

Photo-op "Poor Me I'm Abused by IDF" actress name unknown

Hopefully Netanyahu will stand strong and not give into stupid AND dangerous concessions demanded by this administration and others.

Poor, poor Palestine my arse:

Israeli will neither change policies that have been upheld by its various governments since 1967 nor halt construction in Jerusalem, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu stressed at Sunday's cabinet meeting.

“We will clarify that building in Jerusalem is like building in Tel Aviv,” Netanyahu said. A final-status agreement between Israel and the Palestinians, he said, could only be reached at the conclusion of direct talks in which the two sides "sit together and sort the issues out." The prime minister said that the planned proximity talks – indirect negotiations with US mediation – would enable the two sides to individually state their case, but would not facilitate an enduring peace process.

Netanyahu said his position would remain unflagging during his visit to Washington later on Sunday, and that he would clarify that to the Obama administration.

Obi One will definitely not like. Tough shite I say.

"When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary..."

Whether your a Democrat or Republican or Indie.....today promises to be one of those uniquely American events....as Congress takes up the final vote on Healthcare.

Declaration of Independence


When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. --Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

Lets remember all those that have gone before ....and all those who will follow.

God Bless this great country we call America.

Creative editing and outright lies behind CAIR's smear of Islam textbooks

For several years, Barry Rubin has been preparing and editing a series of textbooks for children on Islam for Mason Crest Publishers. But thanks to an infiltrator at the publishing house, CAIR obtained pre-publication copies and are now predictably smearing the books as "anti-Islam".

One problem CAIR faced, however, is that there wasn't any actual objectional material in the textbooks that they could find, so Barry reports that CAIR had to resort to some creative editing to manufacture their outrage:

From RubinReports: CAIR Attacks Book Series on Islam; Unable to Find Anything "Wrong" It Fabricates Complaints

I’ve heard a lot about the methods of CAIR, and of course we are all familiar with the incredible intimidation (combined with clever strategy) used against anyone who writes about Islam in any way other than simpering reverence. But experiencing it is another matter, showing the intense dishonesty with which such campaigns are conducted. On the positive side, though, there may be some signs that media gullibility on this matter may be declining.

Offered an opportunity to write and edit some books for the Mason Crest series on Islam, I welcomed the challenge of producing materials that combined proper scholarship, due respect, and honest inquiry on the subject, the same approach taken to any other subject. What we wanted to do was in sharp contrast to the fawning narratives that do things like—an actual case—omit any mention of Muslim-ruled states involvement in the African slave trade while praising them for introducing the clock into the area. Equally, though, we were careful not to put in anything unfairly derogatory about Islam as a religion or about its adherents.

The goal was to create balanced books that were easily accessible to American students.

The results were quite pleasing. Ten books were produced totaling 640 pages and with lavish illustrations, well-received and ordered by many schools.

Then CAIR sought to attack this book series. CAIR seems to be, according to legal documents and documented reports, a creation of the Muslim Brotherhood and a group many of whose officials have been prosecuted and convicted for involvement with terrorist groups. CAIR, then, is not a defense organization for Muslims but an advocacy organization for revolutionary Islamist groups.

That’s important to note because its real agenda is to prevent any critique of Islamism, the ideology of those trying to overthrow every regime in the Arabic-speaking world and many more as well.

CAIR’s approach makes clear its lack of understanding the fact that there exists a set of professional scholarly ethics and principles. And that those who have been trained in this system make a really sincere effort to be fair, accurate, and make arguments based on facts that can be documented. If errors are shown, they are fixed.

The idea that not everyone is a propagandist without a conscience is beyond the grasp of all too many people nowadays.

Once it decided to attack the publications, CAIR had to find something wrong with them. It claimed the books promote anti-Islamic sentiment among U.S. school children and encourage them to believe Muslims are terrorists who seek to undermine U.S. society.

And how proud I am to announce that they couldn’t find anything that was really defamatory or inaccurate. That’s a really good achievement for the authors and editors!

Of course, they didn’t give up. So they came up with a tiny number of points from 640 pages of text. And guess what? They are all based on demonstrable lies. CAIR couldn’t come up with a single factual error or derogatory phrase.

In other words, they had to distort even these few cases. Here they are:

Read the whole post exposing CAIR's lies.

Is Islam so morally bankrupt that its most outspoken defenders have to resort to distortions and outright lies to make their case?

The Story of Uncle Bob

Johnny had the best story

The teacher gave her fifth grade class an assignment: get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end of it. The next day the kids came back and one by one began to tell their stories.

Kathy said, "My father's a farmer and we have a lot of egg-laying hens. One time we were taking our eggs to market in a basket on the front seat of the pickup when we hit a bump in the road and all the eggs went flying and broke and made a mess"

"And what's the moral of the story?" asked the teacher.

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket!"

"Very good," said the teacher. "Now, Lucy?"

"Our family are farmers too. But we raise chickens for the meat market. We had a dozen eggs one time, but when they hatched we only got ten live chicks. And the moral to this story is, don't count your chickens until they're hatched."

"That was a fine story Lucy. Johnny do you have a story to share?"

"Yes, ma'am, my daddy told me this story about my uncle Bob. Uncle Bob was a Green Beret in Vietnam and his helicopter got hit. He had to crash land in enemy territory and all he had was a bottle of whiskey, a machine gun and a machete. He drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn't break and then he landed right in the middle of 100 enemy troops. He killed seventy of them with the machine gun until he ran out of bullets, then he killed twenty more with the machete till the blade broke and then he killed the last ten with his bare hands."

"Good heavens," said the horrified teacher, " What kind of moral did your daddy tell you from that horrible story?"

"Don't f*ck with Uncle Bob when he's been drinking."

Iranians Trained Taliban To Use Roadside Bombs

No surprise, we already knew that.

Via Times

TALIBAN commanders have revealed that hundreds of insurgents have been trained in Iran to kill Nato forces in Afghanistan.

The commanders said they had learnt to mount complex ambushes and lay improvised explosive devices (IEDs), which have been responsible for most of the deaths of British troops in Helmand province.

The accounts of two commanders, in interviews with The Sunday Times, are the first descriptions of training of the Taliban in Iran.

According to the commanders, Iranian officials paid them to attend three-month courses during the winter

hey were smuggled across the border to the city of Zahidan, in southeast Iran, an hour’s drive from training camps in the desert.

Instructors in plain clothes provided daily exercises in live firing. The first month was devoted largely to teaching the Taliban how to attack convoys and how to escape before Nato forces could respond.

During their second month they were shown how to plant IEDs in sequence so that the rescuers of soldiers wounded in one blast would be caught in further explosions.

The third month was spent on storming bases and checkpoints. A hilltop fort was among the locations used for practice by a Taliban platoon.

Local mediators persuaded the commanders to travel to Kabul to tell their stories. They were interviewed on separate occasions on the edge of the city.

Via Breitbart

(AP) - Hundreds of tribesmen from Pakistan's semiautonomous regions near the Afghan border ended a rare tribal council meeting Saturday with a declaration calling for the army to crush the Taliban.

The meeting, held in the northwestern city of Peshawar, was called by an umbrella group of aid organizations and political parties in an effort to bring together people from the violence-battered region.

Participants called for the army to escalate its attack against the network of Islamist militants across the tribal regions, dismissing Pakistan's earlier offensives as "military dramas."

"It should be a genuine military operation like the Sri Lankans did against the Tamil Tigers," said Sayd Alam Mehsud, a powerful tribal leader, referring to the brutal military campaign that destroyed the separatist Tamil army in Sri Lanka.

Shukria Abdi Issak: I'm A Man Dammit

shukria.jpg

Shukria has lived as a girl for 25 years thanks to his family who think he is cursed. Poor guy.
He traveled all the way from the little known village of Dandu in Mandera to Nairobi because he was convinced it was the only way the world could learn from his experience.

At his birth 25 years ago, Shukria Abdi Issak had a genital abnormality known as undescended testicles or cryptorchidism – a condition in which the testes are missing or they may be felt as lumps in the groin. His parents in a state of panic, lack of information and scanty healthcare facilities, decided to ‘turn’ him into a girl. They feared they would ruin the marriage prospects of a healthy child if discovered and bring shame to the family.

‘He’ was dressed in female attire, including the hijab, a headscarf for Muslim women all his life. Shukria performed chores meant for the Garre woman, sat and was taught all a woman needs to know. As a strict Muslim adherent, Shukria was also not allowed to mingle freely with the boys though he confessed that he always wanted to join them in their games and chores.

“Everybody in my village knows me as a woman,” he said in his native Garre language. He also did not go to school as his parents gave preference to the boys. And so, he speaks only Garre language. Shukria’s identity card, issued in Dandu, Mandera district, in 2004 too identifies him as female.

But the person many know as a woman was not actually one, nor was he androgynous. “My malformation resulted in my parents confining me to a state I did not belong simply believing I was cursed,” he said through his brother Alinoor Aliker. After his parents’ death in September last year, Shukria felt the chains had been loosened on him and decided to “go back to where I belong”.

Sadly, he wants to marry but the girls parents don't trust him because he was a girl. He went to a doctor to confirm he was male, yet, they still don't trust him.

He then slowed the aircraft to 60 knots and flew a decelerating approach to a zero airspeed hover at 150 feet above the runway. This marked the first free air hover by the F-35B. Upon reaching zero airspeed, the pilot executed test points to confirm the controllability of the aircraft in the hover. After completing all hover test points, the pilot executed a STOVL landing at 70 knots airspeed.

("BofA"), Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), HSBC Bank USA, N.A. ("HSBC"), and a longtime friend and business associate of a total of more than $290 million in loan proceeds. NEMAZEE entered his guilty plea before United States District Judge SIDNEY H. STEIN in Manhattan federal court.

According to the superseding Information, filed today, to which NEMAZEE pleaded, other documents filed in this case, and statements made during NEMAZEE's guilty plea:

From 1998 to 2009, NEMAZEE obtained hundreds of millions of dollars in loans from BofA, Citibank, and HSBC. To obtain the loans, NEMAZEE misrepresented to the banks that he owned hundreds of millions of dollars in collateral, in the form of securities and other assets, which he did not own. In fact, NEMAZEE used fake documents, including account statements, to show his supposed ownership of the collateral. The documents also contained forged signatures of persons associated with the Westminster Securities Corporation ("Westminster"), the brokerage firm at which NEMAZEE claimed to hold these assets, as well as Westminster's clearing firm.

The fake account statements and other documents that NEMAZEE provided also contained telephone numbers, supposedly for Westminster and its clearing firm, assigned to "virtual offices" that NEMAZEE himself had established or to a cellphone that NEMAZEE obtained. NEMAZEE created at least two "virtual offices" in Manhattan that held themselves out, at his direction, as being associated with Westminster and its clearing firm.

NEMAZEE represented to BofA that the loans were for, among other things, making investments, purchasing partial interest in a private plane, and purchasing two luxury apartments in Manhattan. One of the loans from BofA, a $100 million line of credit, was guaranteed by NEMAZEE's longtime friend and business associate, who pledged a multimillion-dollar home in Colorado as collateral on the loan, not knowing that the collateral that NEMAZEE was pledging did not exist. As of August 2009, NEMAZEE owed approximately $142 million to BofA and $74.9 million to Citibank.

Gene Simmons' Message to America

Hat Tip: Kathy.

Gitmo Closing Deal Imminent?

From the looks of it, yes. NRO:

And remember, all of this will be based on the fiction that Gitmo foments anti-U.S. terrorism — and to the extent the U.S. reputation in the world has been tarnished, much more of that has been done by the politicians who've attacked Gitmo than by the facility itself, which is a model.
Indeed. The problem was never with Gitmo, it was with the idea of Gitmo. Gitmo represented treating the war against Islamist extremeists as a war. Liberals don't like war. Even when they claim they support a war, they mean only so long as everything goes exactly the way that they hope; and only then if we fight the way they want us to fight -- with each and every soldier overseen by their better who, not so incidentally, is a lwayer.

It's also a place out of reach to liberals and the only national institution liberals have any faith in -- the courts.

I have no problem with closing Gitmo. Gitmo is a place. The real problem isn't with people who want Gitmo closed down, the real problem is with people who don't like the idea of Gitmo. Which, as McCarthy points out, was never as bad as its critics made it out to be.

Worst Employer Evah: 'I'd Rather Employ a Pedophile Than a Hero': Company Boss,Webeurope's Karl Winn, Compares British Troops to Child Molesters in Rant at Job Agency (UPDATED)

Webeurope_karl winn.jpg
Click for website

UPDATE below fold, his press release on the matter


Naturally, this is giving the ehadi's more propaganda, damn arsehole

Via Daily Mail

A company boss has compared British soldiers to paedophiles and drug dealers after refusing a request by a recruitment service to provide jobs for former troops.

Karl Winn, 60, said he would rather 'recruit ex-drug dealers, convicts and child molesters' than employ former servicemen or women.

His comments came after he was contacted by Forces Recruitment Services and asked if he would consider taking on ex-soldiers at his net design company Webeurope.

Mr Winn, of Taunton, Somerset, wrote back: 'Personally, I'd rather recruit ex-drug dealers, convicts and even child molesters rather than consider anybody who has been in the pay of the British Government.'[ read the rest]

File this under assmaggots.

If anyone knows more about this dude please email me/us.

I am a assmaggot

Karl Winn, Webeurope's founder and principle owner, has for many years supported numerous organisations (NGO's), such organisations include: -

* The International Human Rights Network - Supporting others in applying Human Rights Based Approaches to UN Agencies, countries, and organisations.
* Film Makers Against War - FAW seeks to educate and raise awareness of UK and international war law
* Art and Sacred Places - Encourages the interaction of art and religion by commissioning artists to make work in sacred places.
* Relatives for Justice – A northern Ireland based organisation that supports and campaigns on behalf of the families of the 367 men, women, and children, who have been killed by members of the British Military and Police services. The campaign seeks to bring the perpetrators of such killings before the courts.

Statement By Karl Winn

For the record, I have employed ex-Military staff. This was not my issue in my private email exchange with the MD of Forces Recruitment Services Ltd. What I objected to was being asked to give preference to employing ex-British Military personnel under their "hire-a-hero" scheme, simply because they have served in our Armed Forces.

I admit that at one point in this private exchange I did say I would prefer to offer employment to criminals because they had at least been investigated and brought before the courts to be held accountable for their actions. I regret making those comments if they were to be made public, as i would have made my point in a more tactful way, but it was said in private, and it was made clear that this was my personal view.

My policy is, and remains, to give jobs to people based on their merit as individuals, and not simply because of their service in the armed forces.

Contrary to popular sentiment serving in the British Military is not in itself “brave” or “heroic”, and it certainly isn’t in support of “democracy”, least of all ours.[I would like to see him put his ass on the line...ed]

The reality from the north of Ireland, to Afghanistan and Iraq, is that the British Military have committed crimes against unarmed civilians. The perpetrators of such atrocities however remain unaccountable for their actions, safe in the knowledge that the principle policy of the British Government is to ensure their protection from prosecution.[terrorist talking points, hence assmaggot reference..ed]

British Military involvement in the north of Ireland has resulted in 367 direct killings by the British State of unarmed, men, women, and children. The victims’ families still campaign for these cases to be thoroughly investigated, and those responsible brought before the courts, in order to achieve justice and closure.

The Dublin and Monaghan bombings – the greatest single loss of life during that 30 year conflict in Ireland - the British Government refused last year to hand over documents that were requested by the Irish TD Bertie Ahern on the role of the British Military in the bombing that killed 33 people in Dublin in 1974.

All the way through to our disgraceful and dishonest presence in Iraq and Afghanistan (see yesterdays report on the murder of 8 Iraq civilians while in British Military "custody"). The British Military has a legacy of unlawful killings that need thorough investigation.

It is simply not good enough to argue that such victims "were Catholic, or Nationalists / Republican" or even "Muslim", and therefore the victims’ families are not worthy of justice and closure. If we truly value democracy and justice we need to ensure we are not selective in its application.

The "war-on-terror" is a lie, and anybody who cares to examine the actual facts will know it. If anything it is not the Taliban that is a threat to our democracy and civil rights it is the British State.

Sadly, the British Government has used the lie of a “war on terror” to justify their support of US strategic ambitions in the illegal invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan. It will give no comfort to the parents who have lost a son or daughter in this conflict when the British Military withdraw from these countries and history exposes this lie for what is it.

Readers who wish to respond to the above statement please email me at karl.winn@webeurope.co.uk, Alternatively I can be contacted by phone on 07979-234666.

Regards

Karl

Extract from a Press Statement issued by Relatives for Justice on 13th March 2010

"'Webeurope .. have heard at first hand the true extent of the role of the British army, the trauma, hurt and anguish caused - importantly they have acted to heal, support and address in their own way the awful legacy left behind as a direct consequence of British state violence in our country. 'For that we are greatly indebted to them and in particular Karl Winn whose commitment to non-violence means, human rights, social justice, compassion and humanity are an example to us all.'

What a wonderful smell you've discovered!

This WaPo piece on the conflict between the NSA and the military on one side wishing to shut down a website used by al Qaeda in Iraq vs. the CIA and the Saudi intelligence on the other side who were using it to gather intelligence is completely unsurprising. The casual reader unfamiliar with the debate will learn an awful lot, but those of us involved in the debate learn nothing new.

That the Centrial Intelligence Agency is interested in gathering, um, intelligence while the military is interested in stopping recruitment of enemy fighters is exactly as Aaron describes it:

What I see are people in entrenched positions defending their parochial interests, while simultaneously denying the obvious consequences of their actions.
Bingo! Read his analysis for ways to get beyond this rather meaningless debate.

Let me just take umbrage at something Evan Kohlmann said in the article:

Because extremist groups store backup copies of forum information in servers around the world, "you can't really shut down this process for more than 24 or 48 hours," said Evan F. Kohlmann, a terrorism researcher and a consultant to the Nine/Eleven Finding Answers Foundation.
This simply isn't true. It's rather easy to shut down terrorist websites, and it's not that much harder to keep them offline. The case in point is the website mentioned in the article which hasn't been back in a year and a half now.

Shutting down terrorist websites is not technically difficult, it is only politically difficult. And layers upon layers of lawyers within the defense and intelligence communities only make those political difficulties worse. For instance the hand wringing over the legality of a cyber attack against our enemies in a third country.

Further, intelligence gathering is important -- but it's not the only thing to consider. It's only one of a number of different values that must be weighed against each other.

The strategy I would like to suggest would be to shut down some websites and leave others ones open. And the ones you leave open? Shut them down, too, from time to time. The former suggestion has a "funneling" affect -- get the worst of the worst together in a few places and it's much easier to keep an eye on them. The latter suggestion has a "weeding out" affect inasmuch as one must be committed to the jihad to go looking for a new website, the harder core supporters will tend to stay and the more tepid supporters fall out.

Ha! Be sure to read it all.

PM

With non-festive apologies to Clement Clarke Moore.

‘Twas the eve of state health care, and all through the House
The bill was unread, even by the head louse.
The statists hung ’round with a faux-festive air,
Hoping their awful “dream” would indeed soon be there.

obama-white coats.jpgThe USA’s children were snug in their beds,
Unaware of the pain being laid on their heads.
Everyday people opposed to this crap,
Wondered when or if D.C.’s hypnosis would snap.

When out from O’s House there arose such a clatter,
‘Twas the President’s flacks and their usual chatter.
They showed docs in white coats supporting this trash,
nancy pelosi healthcare.jpg
Using children as props as they threw around cash.

The Speaker stood forth for her part in the show,
“It will be when we pass it that you’ll get to know,
The wonders we’re bringing that statists will cheer,
Creating more wards who’ll elect us for years.” Rest...

Sorcerer's Death Sentence Upheld in Saudi Arabia

At least he's accused of sorcery. For what? Telling fortunes.

(CNN) -- Amnesty International is calling on Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah to stop the execution of a Lebanese man sentenced to death for "sorcery."

In a statement released Thursday, the international rights group condemned the verdict and demanded the immediate release of Ali Hussain Sibat, former host of a popular call-in show that aired on Sheherazade, a Beirut based satellite TV channel.

According to his lawyer, Sibat, who is 48 and has five children, would predict the future on his show and give out advice to his audience.

You don't need an apple over the head to travel back in time. Just arrange a trip to Saudi Arabia.


Pashtuns Turning on al Qaeda and Taliban

Honestly, I don't really care why Pashtun tribesmen are turning on al Qaeda and the Taliban. So they do it for the money. So what? Dead Taliban are dead Taliban.

Strategy Page:

Such a large concentration of armed Arabs seems to indicate the presence of the top al Qaeda leaders (bin Laden and al Zawahiri). These guys don’t just have to fear the armed UAVs, but also local tribesmen who might decide they can get away (alive) with collecting the huge rewards (over $25 million each) for the top al Qaeda leaders. The problem with such rewards has been the difficulty of getting away alive, with your extended family, to collect the money. That would mean going into exile, and always living with the danger of some vengeful al Qaeda zealot coming after you. But al Qaeda doesn’t look as fearsome as it used, nor does the Taliban.

UN Upset Over Pakistan's Arrest of Taliban Terrorists

Why? Because they were in negotiations with these terrorists.

KABUL – The arrests of top Taliban figures in Pakistan abruptly halted secret U.N. contacts with the insurgency at a time when the efforts were gathering momentum, the U.N.'s former envoy to Afghanistan said Friday.

Kai Eide, a Norwegian diplomat who just stepped down from the U.N. post here in the Afghan capital, said the discussions that he and others from the U.N. had with senior Taliban members began in the spring of 2009 and included face-to-face conversations in Dubai and elsewhere.

He criticized Pakistan for arresting the Taliban's No. 2 and other members of the insurgency, saying the Pakistanis surely knew the roles these figures had in efforts to find a political resolution to the 8-year-old war. Pakistan denies the arrests were linked to reconciliation talks.

"There was an increase in intensity of contacts, but this process came to a halt following the arrests that took place in Pakistan," Eide told The Associated Press in a telephone interview from his home outside Oslo.

I'm not sure why the UN has this pipe dream about a "peaceful Taliban". Bill Clinton tried it. The Taliban simply use these negotiations to gain "legitimacy" and to try and hold off any action against them.

They have stated their aims and there is little or not wiggle room. Their position will always be unacceptable. But sure they are willing to talk so long as you are sucker enough to waste your time doing it.

Chicago Jihadi Pleads Guilty to Mumbai Massacre, Was Ordered to Behead MoToon Publishers

We've been following this guy since the beginning. No, since before the beginning. Since the halal butcher house he owned was raided.

I guess I'm glad that he plead guilty and is cooperating. I'm also glad to hear that our natural allies in India will finally have access to him

But he did help plan the murders of 178 people in Mumbai, including 3 Americans. For that he deserves the death penalty.

But if he names names, then I suppose this piece of scum's otherwise worthless life might be worth something. Not a lot, but something.

We also learn that his al Qaeda contact asked him and his accomplices to behead any one they captured in the planned attack on the Danish newspaper that first published the Mohammad cartoons.

Times of India:

In this case, Headley pled guilty to all 12 counts in return for recommendation of a lighter than maximum sentence that could have been a death penalty. The counts are:

• Conspiracy to bomb public places in India;
• Conspiracy to murder and maim persons in India;
• Six counts of aiding and abetting the murder of U.S. citizens in India;
• Conspiracy to provide material support to terrorism in India;
• Conspiracy to murder and maim persons in Denmark;
• Conspiracy to provide material support to terrorism in Denmark;
• And conspiracy to provide material support to terrorist Lashkar ...

The plea agreement reveals some new facets in the terror case ... In May 2009, Headley and Abdur Rehman again met with Kashmiri in Waziristan. Kashmiri told Headley to meet with a European contact who could provide Headley with money, weapons and manpower for the newspaper attack, and relate Kashmiri's instructions that this should be a suicide attack and the attackers should prepare martyrdom videos beforehand.

Kashmiri reportedly stated that the attackers should behead captives and throw their heads out of the newspaper building to heighten the response from Danish authorities, and added that the "elders," whom Headley understood to be al-Qaida leadership, wanted the attack to happen as soon as possible.

These would be the glorious Mujahideen freedom fighters that Censored31 has been talking to us about so much lately. They censor via beheading.

ATTN YouTube User ajnadnews: Hamas' Al-Aqsa TV Placed Under Sanctions By U.S. Treasury Department

Ah, isn't that sad....NOT.

Via my inbox from MEMRI

On March 18, 2010, the U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions against two Hamas-linked organizations in Gaza – Al-Aqsa TV and the Islamic National Bank (INB). The actions, taken pursuant to Executive Order 13224, freeze any assets that Al-Aqsa TV or INB hold under U.S. jurisdiction and prohibit U.S. persons from engaging in any transactions with them. The targets of the sanctions include terrorists and terrorist organizations, among others.

The Treasury Department stated that Al-Aqsa TV is financed and controlled by Hamas, serving as a primary Hamas media outlet that airs programs "designed to recruit children to become Hamas armed fighters and suicide bombers upon reaching adulthood."

So I suppose youtube.com/user/ajnadnews is doing a no no posting a propaganda video from Hamas TV on Youtube, which btw is also posted on Hamas TV website(click image above to enlarge).

YouTube user ajnadnews:

He/she also links to his/her? site here [anonymoused]. It appears to be having trouble loading.

Please flag his/her vids/account. Don't know how? Click here

Thanks in advance.

Ooops, forgot, Censored31 got condoms?

YouTube user ajnadnews:

Update by Howie: The point was made in comments before that you can not shut down a website for promoting terrorist propaganda. That is completely incorrect.

Propaganda distribution with the intent to aid terrorist groups such as Hamas, Hezballah and many others is unlawful. All assets under US control can be frozen.

This brings up the issue of Jihad Jane. Some have said she posted videos others say she favorited videos. Both are true. At the beginning she did post videos from specially designated terrorist groups. After she was suspended a few times she changed her strategy. She would use her network to favorite videos of others. Thus aiding their distribution.

You have to think of the social networking aspect of it. A group of like minded individuals build a social distribution network. Sometimes the support is overt. sometimes it is overt with a "disclaimer" as in the case of Revolution Muslim. Some times it lacks context.

This network then becomes a defacto asset of the terrorist group. A broadcast network if you will.

Sanctions do not stop terrorist groups from speaking, the news will cover that. What it does is freeze any assets under US control. That is to say that in this context they cannot use US networks or assets for distribution of that propaganda.

Lets take the case of Jihadtube or Youtube as you like to call it. The most popular video platform in the world.

A most desirable place to spread this propaganda.

Well it looks like Jihadtube has a lot of cleaning up to do.

The American Govt have placed two Arabic news channels of Hamas and Hezbollah on the blacklist for being 'anti-American' , yet both are genuine ...
Interesting Hezbollah too.

Here are just a few users and videos, found in just a few minutes that are of al-Manar TV. Some of the users listed overtly support Hamas, I've tried to filter out any users putting up stuff for "information" or to demonstrate this propaganda as advocacy against terrorism. Examples from MEMRI or The Investigative Project for instance.

Again its just a quick list as an example the scope of the problem and just how easy this stuff is to find in just a few minutes.

Jihad Jane in Plea Deal

Colleen "Jihad Jane" LaRose plead "not guilty" today at her federal terrorism arraignment today. But don't let the headlines fool you, The Philly Inquirer has the scoop that today's not guilty plea was preliminary to a deal she's worked out with the Attorney General's office in which she flips on her collaborates.

My impression is that Charafe Damache, the Algerian husband of American "Jihad Jamie" Paulin-Ramirez, was the ringleader in all of this. So, perhaps she's ratting him out? One can only hope

As a teaser, stay tuned one of our authors here at the Jawa Report may have something personal to add to the Damache case.

Philly Inquirer:

The Montgomery County woman who calls herself "JihadJane" has confessed to the FBI about her alleged role in a plot to kill a Swedish cartoonist, according to two people close to the investigation.

Colleen LaRose confessed to FBI agents shortly after her October arrest at Philadelphia International Airport, where she had just arrived from London, said the two sources, who spoke on conditon of anonymity.

The story also recounts key events in Jihad Jane's life, including her trip to Amsterdam where she later claimed to have been led to Islam, the theft of her ex-boyfriend's passport, then:
The next month, she traveled to Ireland for two weeks, where she allegedly met with others organizing a plot against the Swedish artist who published a caricature of the prophet Muhammad, said people familiar with the investigation. She carried the stolen passport and a belief that she, as a slight white woman, would "blend in with many people" in Europe.
It was in Ireland that she met up with Damache and his wife "Jihad Jamie". The whole thing is worth the read (even if they still don't know how to link).

As a quick matter of correction, the report says that someone here at The Jawa Report tipped off the authorities about Jihad Jane. This is incorrect. A few of us were aware of Jihad Jane and we did track her from time to time, but mostly we just made fun of her. It was someone who is friends with the crew at the YouTube smackdown who reported "Fatima LaRose" to the authorities, not us.

And as I said may times before, I should have heeded my own advice that crazy is not mutually exclusive with dangerous.

Obama Moves To Support His New Allies Iran And Hezballah

The United States has diverted a shipment of bunker-busters designated for Israel.

"This was a political decision," an official said.

"All signs indicate that this will continue in 2010," a congressional source familiar with the Israeli military
requests said. "This is really an embargo, but nobody talks about it publicly."

Irony: Supporters of Taliban, al Qaeda Worried Rusty is Interfering in "Free Speech"

khatttab_at_columbia_small.jpg
Revolution Muslim founder advocating genocide against Israelis

Man, this is really ripe. Linda G. Richard has changed her venue from the Huffington Post to Revolution Muslim, a website devoted to supporting violent global jihad -- including the Taliban, al Qaeda, and statements in support of Nidal Hassan, the Fort Hood murderer.

Various members of the website also have online and real world associations with several indicted terrorists.

For a time the Revolution Muslim website became the official propaganda outlet for convicted felon Shiekh Adbullah al-Faisal. Al Faisal was convicted of soliciting murder of Jews and American.

Revolution Muslim labes pro-democracy Muslims as "apostates". Which is a big deal since traditional Islam supports the killing of apostates.

A member of the Revolution Muslim forum once threatened the life of Paul Ray of the EDL ( a group I don't support), promising a repeat of what happened to Theo Van Gogh. Why the death threat? For voicing opposition to Islam. A free speech issue if there ever was one.

One of the most prolific authors at Revolution Muslim and its greatest supporter on YouTube used to use an image of Osama bin Laden and the falling twin towers as a banner on his own website. The imagery was clearly not used to denounce bin Laden or 9/11, but to support the evil of al Qaeda.

The list goes on and on and on.

I'm not sure if she, personally supports the Taliban, but she must know that the website she is now writing for does. This would be the same Taliban that imposed the death penalty for violating their speech codes.

Revolution Muslim supported the murder of Christian missionaries for allegedly talking about Jesus to young Muslims.

This is a website that has gotten worse in its support of violent Islamism since its founder Yousef al-Khattab fled the country. Something which seemed impossible just a few months ago.

Seriously, if I had time I could list dozens and dozens of other examples of Revolution Muslim supporting violence against America by our enemies or the suppression of free speech, even through the use of violence.

And yet this woman has the nerve to accuse me of suppressing free speech?

She says:

Her stubborness is admirable considering that these fascists spent so much time tracking her and closing her accounts. She isn't the first person this has happened to.

Since when can right-wing extremist groups dictate our rights to Free Speech? How can they decide who is - and who is not "dangerous?" If Americans knew how this transpired, would they put up with it?

So, complaining the YouTube that certain users like "Jihad Jane" were spreading al Qaeda propaganda is some kind of "fascist" censorship?

Let me remind Ms. Richard that we are at war with al Qaeda and the Taliban. They are the enemy.

I do not think there is anything inherently wrong with posting enemy propaganda. In fact, viewing enemy propaganda can be helpful in the overall war effort.

However, posting enemy propaganda within the context of supporting the enemy and the statements on that propaganda -- that is sedition. And if we had any balls in this country any longer sedition in a time of war would be prosecuted as a crime.

I don't believe that in World War II Mein Kampf was outlawed in this country. However, I do believe that people exhorting the virtues of the Nazi regime and distributing Hitler's memoirs in an effort to stop the war would have been prosecuted as the seditious traitors that they were.

And, in fact, leaders of the Nazi front -- the German American Bund -- were rounded up and jailed. There is nothing "fascist" about treating enemies of our country in a time of war as, well, enemies. Whether those enemies be foreign or domestic it matters little: they are still enemies.

I think one can oppose war in general, or this war against Islamist extremists on a number of ethical, moral, or patriotic grounds.

But one cannot ethically oppose this war because one is an Islamist extremist yourself. This would be like an American Nazi opposing WWII because, well, they are a Nazi and they want the other side to win.

The word for such a person is traitor. And the editors of Revolution Muslim are traitors.

I do not accuse Ms. Richard of being a traitor, but by becoming an author at Revolution Muslim she certainly shows that she has no problem affiliating with them. And I do suspect that she herself is a supporter of our enemies in the Taliban and violent Islamist movements.

Moreover, she gets much of the facts about my interview with Aaron Klein on WABC wrong. You can listen to it here and decide if she's lying about what I said for yourself.

I didn't say the FBI wasn't interested in the Jihad Jane case at first. How would I know that? I've no idea what any one in the FBI thought or thinks about this case.

What I said was that I wasn't interested in the Jihad Jane case at first. Why? Because I wrongfully thought that she, like most online jihad supporters, was a pathetic but harmless nutcase. In fact it turned out that she was a pathetic but dangerous nutcase.

Also, she did post videos, including al Qaeda videos on YouTube. What stood out, I said, was that she also favorited many terrorist videos and was active in YouTube comments -- both at her own YouTube channel and at others.

Thanks to Star.

Muslim Leader: Ohio Homeland Security publishing "classic Islamist propaganda"

Your taxpayer dollars hard at work alert.

A hearing yesterday House Homeland Security Subcommittee on "Working with Communities to Disrupt Terrorist Plots" featured Ohio Homeland Security Multicultural Affairs Director Omar Alomari. But Zuhdi Jasser, president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, criticized the Ohio Homeland Security Department for materials authored by Alomari, which he described as "classic Islamist propaganda".

From the Investigative Project on Terrorism:

Witness Omar Alomari is the Ohio Department of Public Safety's Department of Homeland Security multicultural relations officer. Since taking the job in 2006, he wrote a 40-page Culture Guide related to Arabic and Islamic Culture. In this document, Alomari defined jihad as the benign pursuit of personal betterment. It may be applied to physical conflict for Muslims, but only in the arena of Muslims defending themselves when attacked or when attempting to overthrow oppression and occupation.

Jihad as a holy war is a European invention, spread in the West, he wrote.

Alomari also authored a two-page brochure called "Agents of Radicalization" for the Ohio Department of Homeland Security. In it, he lists several grievances driving terrorism in the Muslim world, including Israel's occupation and oppression of the Palestinians, U.S. support for Israel, the U.S. invasion and occupation of Muslim lands and support for repressive regimes. [i.e. it has nothing about Islamic ideology - B] Alomari goes on to explain that such terrorism also stems from the expected societal reaction of the once proud and thriving Arab/Muslim culture, now in decline and conflict because of the stronger and aggressive West.

Jasser describes the two publications as "full of factual inaccuracies" including the assertion that 66 percent of American Arabs are Muslim (close to three-fourths are Christian). Alomari also "misses the core problem: political Islam." Instead, he indulges in "bizarre revisionist history" which "seeks to portray Muslims as victims."

The United States is engaged in "a war of ideas" with radical Islam. Regarding jihadists, "you would hope that [Alomari] would say that these are corrupt thugs who have hijacked our faith," Jasser told the Investigative Project on Terrorism. But instead he "describes [terrorism] as a response to what the West has done."

The material Alomari's agency is putting out is "classic Islamist propaganda" which suggests that "these thugs who kill people in restaurants and shopping malls will stop if we solve the Arab-Israeli conflict," Jasser said. "In fact, they'll find another grievance in a year or two."

Alomari acknowledges that some Muslim communities do, in fact, provide support for the radical jihadists, who he labels "the opposition." He also describes Islam as a "politicized religion" in terms of terrorism and how "it's easier for extremists in Islam to convince youngsters to join in their extremist organizations."

But the brochure ends with a list of seven Muslim organizations the Ohio agency works with. All the groups have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood or have their own history of extremist rhetoric. Click on the links for each group for examples:

Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)

Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA)

Islamic Society of North America (ISNA)

Muslim Alliance of North America (MANA)

Muslim American Society (MAS)

Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC)

Muslim Student Association (MSA)

It bears mentioning that having Omar Alomari speaking on preventing terrorism is a bit like asking Emperor Nero to speak on fire prevention. Not only is Ohio one of the most active areas of jihadist and terrorist efforts in the country, but Columbus, where Alomari lives and does most of his work, has been the home of the largest known Al-Qaeda cell since the 9/11 attacks and is the focus of an ongoing FBI investigation into radicalization and terrorist recruitment by the Somali terror organization, Al-Shabaab. If disrupting terrorist plots is the aim of Congress (yes, an item still subject to debate), then from an empirical perspective Omar Alomari and his colleagues at Ohio Homeland Security are doing a seriously sh**ty job.

And the materials cited by Jasser defending the justifications of Islamic terror and featuring outright Islamic dawah authored by Alomari -- paid for by taxpayers -- not only helps encourage radicalization but clearly runs afoul of our First Amendment protections against an establishment of religion. That would certainly seem to be an open and shut legal case for any enterprising First Amendment public interest law firm.

Ansar al-Mujihadeen: Infinite Reasons To Murder

Your creativity is the only limit to justify murder.

Here is Islamic militancy thinking and justification. Killing based on a "what if". How can anyone negotiate or be at peace with a group that thinks like this. This is like me shooting the guy walking on the sidewalk because he might break into my house. F-ing backwards freaks. Especially you, Censored31.

Here is a post at Ansar al-Mujihadeen. Oh and all your forum belong to us.

This picture is NOT real, but what if one day this does happen???

This is why we must fight the Jews and sacrifice our blood to liberate Al-Quds.

May God make it easy for our brothers and sisters in Palestine.
May He bless the Mujahideen who fight in His way.
May He keep them steadfast and safe, and may He grant them victory.
And may He destroy the dirty Jews.

Appropriate Response To Municipal Development And Building Rehab? Kill People With Indiscriminately Fired Rockets

A new IDF target appeared in the Gaza Strip. They refer to themselves as Ansar al-Sunna which loosely translates "dead men walking".

Haaretz has a report about a rocket fired from the Gaza Strip, one of 3 in the last 24 hours, killing a migrant worker. Ansar al-Sunna claimed responsibility. Isreal is holding Hamas ultimately responsible, as the ruling government of the Gaza Strip, which is so unfair because I'm sure Hamas will work closely with Israel to root these naughty salafists out.

Queue up the dingbats - Poor economy due to blockade and legitimate resistance to oppression of rights, blah, blah.

Here is the reason for the attack, and my headline I guess.

"The Jihadist mission came in response to the Zionist assaults against the Ibrahimi and al-Aqsa mosques and the continued Zionist aggression against our people in Jerusalem," Ansar al-Sunna said in a statement.

It appeared to be referring to Israel's national heritage plan to renovate holy sites, including the West Bank town of Hebron's Tomb of the Patriarchs that is revered by Muslims and Jews, and the rededication this week of an 18th-century synagogue in Jerusalem, some 400 meters from al-Aqsa.

That's the spirit! Next time the local Plan Commission votes on a new subdivision or rehab in the historical downtown area.....watch out bitches. I'm slinging rockets.

More Good Gun Control

News13:

Police said the homeowner, Dave Henry, had just returned home from work and was pulling into his garage when he saw a suspicious car near his home.

That's when they said two suspects got out of the car and tried to rob the homeowner.

However, Henry pulled out his own gun and a shootout started.

One of the suspects, identified as David Lee Butler, 37, was shot and killed by Henry. The other suspect got away.

Another Somali Pirate Hijack Fail

Yahoo News:

NAIROBI, Kenya – These Somali pirates picked the wrong ship to hijack.

Troops aboard the Dutch warship HNLMS Tromp fired warning shots Wednesday off the coast of East Africa as suspected Somali pirates in two small skiffs raced toward their warship, the EU Naval Force said.

After the pirates realized they had made what spokesman Cmdr. John Harbour called a "rather silly mistake," they turned around and fled. EU Naval Force personnel tracked down the two skiffs and a third suspected mothership, finding ammunition and rocket-propelled grenades on board, said Harbour, a spokesman for the EU Naval Force.

The two skiffs were destroyed and the pirates were set free on the mothership after it had been cleared of weapons.

Pretty funny except for that last part. Why free the pirates and the mother ship? Like they will have any trouble getting a few AKs and and RPGs in Somalia?

The thing to do would have been to take the pirates to Kenya for trial after sending the mother ship to the bottom.

Nigeria: Muslim Herders Murder 12 Cut Out Tongues

They murdered seven women, four children and one man

Jihad Watch: But as Pamela Geller says: "They can cut a thousand, a million tongues, but you can't cut out the truth about Islamic jihad."

Attackers kill 12 in latest Nigeria fighting," by Jon Gambrell for Associated Press, March 17 (thanks to Pamela):

LAGOS, Nigeria - Attackers killed 12 people Wednesday morning in a small Christian village in central Nigeria, officials said, cutting out most of the victims' tongues in the latest violence in a region where religious fighting already has killed hundreds this year.

The attack almost mirrored the tactics used by those who carried out similar massacres in Christian villages last week when more than 200 people were slaughtered.

Pro-Obama Catholics Fooling the Faithful

(Denver, Colorado) The Archbishop of Denver, Charles J. Chaput, and his auxiliary bishop have issued an alert and warning to faithful Catholics to not be fooled by pro-Obama Catholic organizations promoting ObamaCare. The legislation remains fatally flawed regarding abortion.

"Regrettably, groups like Network and the Catholic Health Association have done a grave disservice to the American Catholic community by undermining the leadership of the nation’s Catholic bishops, sowing confusion among faithful Catholics, and misleading legislators through their support of the Senate bill," the bishops write.

"Do not be fooled. Nothing has changed. The Senate bill remains gravely flawed on the issues of abortion funding, conscience protections and the inclusion of immigrants. Unless seriously revised to address these issues, the Senate version of health care is unethical and should be firmly opposed," the statement concludes.

As would be expected, the pro-Obama Catholic organizations are not part of the hierarchy of the Catholic Church.

Awesome!:Al-Qaeda crippled as leaders stay in hiding, CIA chief says

While the American media chases its tail.....this tidbit goes unnoticed.

Wash Post

Relentless attacks against al-Qaeda in the Pakistan tribal region appear to have driven Osama bin Laden and other top leaders deeper into hiding, leaving the organization rudderless and less capable of planning sophisticated operations, CIA Director Leon Panetta said Wednesday.


So profound is al-Qaeda's disarray that one of its lieutenants, in a recently intercepted message, pleaded to bin Laden to come to the group's rescue and provide some leadership, Panetta told The Washington Post in an interview.

This is typical of the AQ senior leaders... the lower level leaders are getting their butts hammered in drone strikes while Zawahiri hides.

Come one out you pussy...you picked this fight....... but now you hide in a compound with the women. The noose is getting tighter....we will settle the score soon.

Anwar Awlaki Urges Jihad Against US

Yemeni-American Anwar Awlaki is the leading English language al Qaeda internet recruiter and propagandist. In a new audio he urges American Muslims to commit jihad against the US and he says the US is withholding Nidal Hassan's emails because the US is trying to convince the American public that it was an individual act. US officials confirmed to CNN that American Sharif Mobley left the US to seek out Awlaki in Yemen and found him


London, England(CNN) -- American-born Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki is calling for jihad against America, claiming "America is evil" in a new audio message obtained exclusively by CNN.

"With the American invasion of Iraq and continued U.S. aggression against Muslims, I could not reconcile between living in the U.S and being a Muslim, and I eventually came to the conclusion that jihad against America is binding upon myself just as it is binding on every other Muslim," he says in the recording that runs more than 12 minutes.

Al-Awlaki is believed to be hiding out in hills of southern Yemen with the protection of his very powerful family tribe.

The New England Jihadis

An excellent report by American for Peace and Tolerance on the Boston blogger and would-be jihad Tarek Mehanna. Do we know Tarek? Yes, we do. And yes Tarek knows us. Oh what a small world it is! This guy is a real piece of work.

The complete report is here, but I'll put the entire press release below followed by links to our previous coverage of Tarek Mehanna and his buddies online.

Americans for Peace and Tolerance (APT) today released an 8-minute online video clip describing a network of Islamic radicals operating in New England. The video focuses on the October arrest - and the response to that arrest - of a Sudbury, Massachusetts resident who the FBI charged with planning to machine gun shoppers in a New England mall. "The arrest of Tarek Mehanna was shocking," said APT President, Charles Jacobs. "It occurred just two weeks before the murder of 13 Americans at Fort Hood by a U.S. military doctor and officer - a child of Palestinian immigrants who had become an Islamic radical. In fact, this was just one of several arrests in 2009 of Islamic radicals who had turned against their adopted country. Jacobs said "What is especially disheartening, given the historical moderation and success of Boston Muslims, is the current groundswell of support for Tarek within a segment of the Boston Muslim community and its virulent response to his arrest.

Jacobs said "our video offers a glimpse into a loosely-coordinated web of radical Islamic individuals and organizations based in New England with ties to Islamic terrorist groups overseas." Jacobs added, "what we're witnessing is the radicalization of the next generation of American Muslims."

The video shows how Islamic radicals have been using the Internet to organize thousands of supporters and raise money for Tarek - a man who the FBI alleges had enjoyed gloating over propaganda videos of Al Qaeda terrorists disemboweling and burning the bodies of American GIs in Iraq. (Tarek and his friends mockingly called these mutilations "Texas BBQs.")

Jacobs noted that Tarek's Internet support groups are rife with anti-American and anti-Semitic sloganeering (such as "Close Guantanamo Bay, Reopen Auschwitz") and support for violence in the name of Islam.

Jacobs said the decision to release the film now was precipitated by a campaign of intimidation launched by Tarek's supporters against Aloke Chakravarty, the assistant US attorney in Boston responsible for Tarek's prosecution.

As part of what they call a "Pressure Campaign to Free Tarek Mehanna," Islamic extremists in collaboration with the Boston branch of the International Socialist Organization have sought to clog the prosecutor's office phone and fax lines with bizarre messages demanding Mr. Chakravarty drop the case against Tarek or face charges of prosecutorial misconduct. Tarek's supporters claimed they had to be turned away from the prosecutor's office when they showed up there en masse in an attempt to harass Mr. Chakravarty in person.

We learned from the jihadist Fort Hood massacre that our political leadership class, blinded by political correctness and fearful of being attacked as bigots or Islamophobes, has failed to deal effectively with the threat of radical Islam to American society. It will take a grassroots effort to break the silence about this threat. Americans for Peace and Tolerance are working to organize such an initiative in order to compel our failed leaders to protect our communities, and in order to support those officials like Assistant U.S. Attorney Mr. Chakravarty who are seeking to do justice in the face of intimidation.

WASHINGTON—A drone strike last week in Pakistan apparently killed a top al Qaeda trainer who helped supervise December's suicide bombing at a Central Intelligence Agency post in Afghanistan, U.S. officials said.

The strike on a suspected bomb-making facility in Miram Shah killed as many as 15 people, including Sadam Hussein Al Hussami, also known as Ghazwan Al-Yemeni, according to people familiar with the strike.

Interview With Fiance of Murdered Iranian Protester Neda

Der Spiegel

Journalist Caspian Makan, 38, was the fiance of Iranian protester Neda Agha Soltan, who became the icon of the protest movement after her murder during a demonstration in Tehran on June 20. He was arrested following the protests and only released from Tehran's notorious Evin Prison after his family put their house up as bail collateral. He later fled the country through Turkey. Today he lives as a political refugee in Canada.

Months after her murder in Tehran, little has been done to investigate the circumstances of Iranian protester Neda Agha-Soltan's death. Her former fiance, Caspian Makan, who fled the country to avoid being part of a show trial, says he hopes the United Nations and other international organizations will challenge the Iranian government.

SPIEGEL: Your fiancee is considered the icon of the Iranian opposition movement. How deeply was Neda really involved in the "Green Movement"?

Caspian Makan: Neda wasn't actually politically active. She first got started after the protests began. One of the last things she said was: "Everyone must do something."

SPIEGEL: What motivated her?

Makan: She suffered under the regime. As a student, she was patronized and told what to do: How she should wear her headscarf, what make-up and what kind of lipstick was allowed. Freedom was a very big issue for her.

SPIEGEL: Were you and Neda aware of the danger?

Makan: We had a feeling that something would happen. I wanted to keep her from protesting, but Neda said: Even if I get hit by a bullet, the freedom of my people is more important. rest.

Prayers for him and his family and all the others who are fighting for a free Iran.

Turkey threatens to complete Armenian genocide, deport 100k Armenians

From the BBC:

Turkey's prime minister has threatened to deport 100,000 Armenian migrants, amid renewed tensions over Turkish mass killings of Armenians in World War I.

Recent resolutions in the US and Sweden have called the killings "genocide".

Recep Tayyip Erdogan told the BBC that of 170,000 Armenians living in Turkey "70,000 are Turkish citizens".

"We are turning a blind eye to the remaining 100,000... Tomorrow, I may tell these 100,000 to go back to their country, if it becomes necessary."

Male Jihad Jane Types: Pakistani Court Charges Five Americans With Planning Terror Attacks


It's about time they were formally charged. The trial begins on March 31st.

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) – A Pakistani court formally charged Wednesday five young Americans of plotting terrorism in the country, their lawyer said, in a case that has raised alarm over the danger posed by militants using the Internet.[Ramy Zamzam of Egyptian descent, Waqar Khan and Umar Farooq of Pakistani descent, and Aman Hassan Yemer and Ahmed Minni of Ethiopian descent...ed]

The students, in their 20s and from the U.S. state of Virginia, were detained in December in the town of Sargodha, 190 km (120 miles) southeast of Islamabad, and accused of contacting militants over the Internet and plotting attacks.

A defense lawyer for the men, Hassan Dastagir, said the charges brought against his clients, included fund raising for terrorist acts.

"The court brought charges of terrorism against my clients and fixed March 31 for the next hearing in which the prosecution would produce evidence and witnesses," he told Reuters by telephone from Sargodha.

He said the men pleaded not guilty and described the charges as "lies."

Resisting Jihad: Ana's Playground

The young, 19yr old Fartun Ahmed and the older, Abdirizak Bihi, working to stop radicalization of Somali American youth in Minnesota.

Star Tribune

She's 19, a college sophomore and a product of the Twin Cities suburbs. He's 45, a father of four with boyhood memories of swimming in the cool ocean waters off the beaches of Mogadishu.

Reserved and religious, she favors a long, billowing hijab and is known to many as "the mosque girl." Outgoing and outspoken, he prefers blue jeans and sneakers and debating politics with friends at his favorite Starbucks.

In many ways, Fartun Ahmed and Abdirizak Bihi are worlds apart.

But amid an extremist fervor expanding globally and inspiring some young Muslims to become warriors for jihad, the two local Somalis now share a common passion and purpose.

Working at all hours, they are waging their own personal jihad, hoping to win the hearts and minds of Somali teens being tempted to embrace a radical ideology that for many is only a keystroke or YouTube clip away.

"They want to steal our youth," Bihi says.[...]The Augsburg College gymnasium is filling up fast as Abdirizak Bihi and a half-dozen boys from the Halgan soccer team take their seats.

For the past month, Bihi has watched them compete in an indoor league and helped them knock on doors at Somali businesses to raise money for a tournament. Along the way, he has gently but firmly reminded them of the dangers of extremism and how Al-Shabaab stole his nephew.

He has told them of the "unbearable" heartache his sister has endured in the months since losing her son, and of the lost potential of the other local Somalis recruited by Al-Shabaab.

He has spoken, too, of his most haunting memory: seeing one grieving mother hopelessly search her house, room by room, looking for her boy after discovering a photograph of his bloody corpse on the Internet. Her son had been killed in Mogadishu that morning.

"That is a trauma," Bihi says, "that I will never, ever forget."

Now, on this Saturday in early March, it's time for the boys to see and feel for themselves.

Does the ACLU Love the Taliban or Just Hate America?

I'm thinking the latter. Oh, they'll tell you they love America, but they don't. They love the idea of America, not the reality. They love America only to the extent that America meets some ideal. And ideals, by definition, can never be met in the real world.

Hardcore Leftists like this "love" America like an abusive husband "loves" his wife. And if you talk to abusive husbands they almost always claim a deep affection for the person they are constantly beating up.

He loves the idea of a wife. He loves it when she does things exactly the way he wants. But when she crosses the line? Well, that b*tch just deserved it, right?

Just like the leftists at the ACLU. They'll claim they want to defeat al Qaeda and the Taliban. But only on their terms. And since their terms are unattainable, then should they ever be implemented: check mate, we just lost the war.

Ideally every person we kill in war would be an enemy combatant. But this can never happen in the real world. In the real world innocents die. Not because we want innocents to die, but because we have no choice.

If we want to fight al Qaeda innocents will die. Preventing this is not a call for justice, it is a call for surrender.

US drones swamp North Waziristan with missile strikes(Two more today)

Game on...

DNInidia



Unmanned US predators and reapers targetted the villages of Humzoni and Datta Khel firing missiles at a vehicle being used by militants and a rebel hideout in North West Pakistan which also left scores wounded, local officials were quoted by Pak TV channels as saying.

This was the third drone attack in last 24 hours bringing the toll of terrorists killed to 21. Officials fear that it could rise higher as many people were suspected to be trapped in the debris and most of those killed are believed to be Arab
fighters of Al Qaeda.

The concentrated wave of drone attacks, came as apparently the US and Pakistani intelligence suspected that a high value Al Qaeda target had been taken out in the first attacks yesterday.

After yesterday's attack, Arab fighters from al-Qaeda were seen establishing a three kilometre cordon around the strike site in Datta Khel.

"The presence of large number of Arabs indicates that a high value target may have been present", US War Journal reported.

It said, the Arab Al Qaeda fighters could be from the Black Guard, praetorians used to guard al-Qaeda's top commanders including Osama bin Laden, Ayman al Zawahiri or Sheikh Saeed al Masri, the three of the world's most wanted men.

The Arabs could also be from the Lashkar al Zil or the Shadow Army, Al Qaeda's military force, the USLong War Journal said.

I don't want to get anybody's hopes up........but this sure looks like they had intel on a HVT yesterday and today's follow on strikes were going after the squirters.

Oh Noes: Islam On Line On Strike, May Lose Website

Click to enlarge

Who will be left to push, so called moderate, radical Islamic propaganda?

Times

The widely read and influential Islamic news website Islam Online was on the brink of collapse yesterday after a mass walkout and strike in its Cairo-based newsroom.

More than 300 employees of the site, which is run by a Qatar-based religious non-governmental organisation, were negotiating a severance deal that could gut the website’s staff.

“By Sunday there probably won’t be an Islam Online. It will be an empty building,” a striking employee, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said.

Months of growing tension between the site’s Cairo-based newsroom and the Islamic Message Society, which funds the project, culminated in Monday’s mass walkout and street protest.

One, Fathi Abu Hattab, said that the new directors of the site had been interfering in editorial decision-making, seeking to alter its moderate tone and diversity of content.

“They want to change the personality of Islam Online,” he said. “Even if you fund the organisation you don’t have the right to just change the editorial policy without first talking to us.”

The dispute has played out over the internet via Twitter and through a live online video stream set up by the striking workers. With strikers chanting in the background, a steady stream of employees have voiced their grievances before the video feed, with many saying that they were fighting for their jobs and their vision for their website.

“If you want to found a conservative website, go and found one. Don’t take over Islam Online and try to change it,” one unnamed striker said on the video feed on Monday.

The website was established in 2000 under the guidance of the prominent Qatar-based Egyptian cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi.[ bad, ok to blow yourself up if you kill a Jew, dude who Joey hearts..ed] It has built a reputation for covering a diverse array of issues in English and Arabic, including advice columns that homosexuality and pornography addiction. The site is also known for employing non-Muslims and openly secular staffers.

CALLER: Well, I was watching C-SPAN yesterday, our anointed one was in Cleveland, and I'm from Ohio, and that was not a fainting spell that the guy was having there. What he was doing, this is exactly what happened, he said, "Get that guy a medic, he needs a medic. I think that guy needs a medic," and the C-SPAN cameras panned over and there's four to six cops dragging this guy out of there. And so they pan back to Obama. And I heard this lady shout out "how dare you" and then he went on with his, you know, same old, same old.

...RUSH: Oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. So the guy didn't faint?

CALLER: No! He was being drug off by four to six cops

Would not the thing to do with a heckler, is just wait a minute and continue? Rather than spin a yarn? He was smart enough to do it during the campaign?

Its not that he was taken out for disrupting, that's what protesters do. Its that, I dunno, assumption that we're all idiots that gets me.

Dear Brad Thor, The CIA Called, They Want Their Testicles Back

Please drop the testicles, and back away slowly.

Pelton’s record speaks for itself, as does Jordan’s. In the meantime, the Central Intelligence Agency is beginning to make quite a name for itself. Not only has it chosen to self-castrate, but Gollum-like it spits and hisses at men and women of action; men and women of courage who have the guts to do what needs to be done to keep our nation safe.

Word on the street is that the CIA is offering 25 mil for the return of its testicles and the capture of Bin Laden, but mostly the return of its testicles.

Meet a Taliban Fighter. His Weapon? The Internet

Sara Carter gets a rare glimpse into the mind of a Taliban fighter. The Pakistanis let her talk to this propagandist that they rounded up recently.

The only caveat here is that when the Pakistanis let journalists talk to a detainee, they have their own motivations. I wonder what it is here?

Washington Examiner
:

The young Taliban detainee, shackled at the wrists, with his head covered with a black canvas bag, was chillingly clear about his life's mission: "The Taliban have only one objective: to continue killing the Americans."

The tools this particular terrorist had adopted to accomplish that goal were not suicide bombs or sniper rifles, but laptop computers and other high-tech equipment. The purpose of his Taliban cell was to reach potential recruits online over the Internet....

Pakistani counterterrorism officials said in meetings last week that al Qaeda and the Taliban factions "have been recruiting more technologically savvy persons that can get their message out on the Internet."

Report: Jihad Jane Sent Me Threatening Messages

jdamn_youtube.jpg
How did I first come into contact with Jihad Jane? I don't remember the precise moment, but for those of us who follow the radical Islamists who use YouTube to spread propaganda, she was all over the place. It wasn't just us or the Smackdown Corps that noticed her. And Jihad Jane noticed us.

Je Tabler discusses Jihad Jane's obsession and stalking of her at YouTube. Like me, Tabler thought of Colleen LaRose as more pathetic than dangerous. This even as LaRose became obsessive with sending messages to Tabler because her beheaded motoon avatar was offensive (see above right).

She even sent Tabler threatening messages such as, "If I knew where you lived".

My favorite part of the narrative:

Third, she didn’t appreciate it when I explained how tranny hookers like her would almost certainly fare much better in the West than in any Sharia state.
Tranny hooker? Jihad Jane resembles that remark!

Seriously, the entire article is worth the read.

Breaking: Terrorists on, Gasp!, The Internet

FOXNEWS:

Major General John M. Custer III, Commanding General of the U. S. Army Intelligence Center, underscores the impact of online terrorist media: "I see 16, 17-year-olds who have been indoctrinated on the Internet turn up on the battlefield.” He describes Internet sites that look like current news sites. -- With a single click, you're at an active jihad attack site viewing small arms attacks. The next links take you to motivational sites, where mortar operatives and suicide bombers are pictured in heaven [providing] religious justification for mass murder.

Aggressive action is needed against these media properties. The goal: to shut down those sites that yield little actionable intelligence while infiltrating, monitoring and countering the more dynamic sites that serve as operational tools for the terrorists. An effective strategy should limit and discredit the jihadist message, deny safe haven to terrorists on the Internet, thwart their ability to obtain support from a vulnerable online population, and continue to monitor their communications on Web forums.

What an original idea! You've got to be kidding me? We've only had 8 1/2 years since 9-11 and the "Its Happening" website. We're just now getting this?

We Jawas may seem a bit frustrated by all the sudden attention to online terrorist propaganda and its consequences.

Well, if you had been screaming about it for years and years and years, and then finally people die (Fort Hood) and a slough of arrests take place and then ..... suddenly its important.

Well, its been frustrating.

Especially frustrating since the enemy the General is fighting, the Taliban, their main website is still up and hosted by UN member Malaysia. Despite a campaign by the Jawas to remove it.

Here it is. This is the Taliban's official website:

http://124.217.251.48/~alemarah/index/

General, why don't you take your own advice and kill this website?

UPDATE by Rusty: I share Howie's frustration, but am glad that Mark Dubowitz and Gen. Custer both seem to "get it" and that people are paying attention. But people have given the issue brief bits of attention for years, and then they move on. Until the next time someone is arrested or worse, killed.

So we can only hope that this time around things will change.

Update by Howie: False hope?

Indigo Red catches that this is a reprint of quotes from 3 effing years ago.

CBS 60 Minutes aired the report 3 years ago March 9, 2007. FOX quotes generously from the Scott Pelley interview with the Brig. Gen. John M. Custer III, including the quotes above without attribution or explanation.

US drone strike in North Waziristan, 11 terrorists killed

Makes me wonder who was in this compound when they throw up a 3km cordon around the rubble.

Times of India

US unmanned drones fired missiles into the hideouts of pro-Taliban and al-Qaida linked militants in the troubled North Waziristan tribal region on Tuesday, killing at least 11 suspected militants and injuring three others, official sources said.

The missiles hit a militant compound in the rugged mountains of Datta Khel area near Miramshah headquarter of North Waziristan. Sources revealed that two militant hideouts were destroyed in the attack.

"US drones fired four missiles on a militant compound. At least 11 militants, mostly foreigners, were killed," said a Pakistani intelligence official, based in North Waziristan, adding that the toll is likely to rise.

North Waziristan is the home of pro-Pakistan Taliban leader Hafiz Gul Bahadur, a powerful militant commander who is fighting against US and NATO forces in Afghanistan.

Sources said that Arab militants were guarding the compound which was a no-go area for the locals. “They barred all access within three kilometers of the facility”, sources confided.

Jihad Jamie: Irish Motoon Murder Plot Update

damache_one_finger.jpg

A number of critical updates to the arrest of seven in Ireland in a plot to kill Swedish Mohammad cartoon "blasphemer" Lars Vilks. You'll recall that these seven, including "Jihad Jamie" Paulin-Ramirez, were online buddies with Colleen "Jihad Jane" LaRose.

In fact, Jihad Jane had stopped over in Ireland before proceeding to Sweden where she met with her online boyfriend and would-be co-conspirator and where the plot to kill Lars Vilks was supposed to take place.

Two of the men in Ireland have been charged and remanded in custody: The French Algerian Sharif Damache and the Libyan Abd Al-Salam Mansur Al Jahani .

That's Damache pictured above. I don't want to read too much into this, but notice the #1 finger he's holding up? This is a typical gesture made by jihadis. It signifies the unity or "oneness" of God but it is the sign adopted by jihadis the world over, kind of like the two-fingered "V" for victory sign.

So, he's either flashing his alleged jihad creds to his online buddies. Or he thinks he's number one.

The five others have been released, for now. But the Irish national police say there may be more charges announced soon for some of the seven.

Damache is charged (start at 14:35) with sending a threatening text or phone message to an American Muslim named Majed Moughni who organized a protest against Islamic terror in Detroit.

We reported on both the protest (only 50 Muslims showed up) and the death threat Moughani recieved. One wonders whether or not this threat by Damache is the same one we reported on back in January? The person who threatened Moughani claimed to be from France.

Damache admitted he had previously used the false names Thierry Garnier and Alex Garnier. This article claims that Damache used the fake identities because the names sounded French and that he had a French heritage.

A detective said there was evidence on Damache’s computer that he had access to a false identity and had plans to travel to Afghanistan and Algeria.

Jihad Jamie is pregnant with Damache's child. Poor kid.

The Libyan is charged with giving the false name Salim Almestry to officials when he claimed asylum in 2001.

These may be merely holding charges. The Irish police have said there may be more charges:

Brian J. Chesser and Charleen O'Keeffe, attorneys for the seven suspects, expressed surprise at the result of Monday evening's court hearing. "We had expected more serious charges," Ms. O'Keeffe said.
I also can't help but speculate that these holding charges may be just something until an extradition hearing to either the US or Sweden is held.

Related from the NYTimes:

an Algerian man and a Libyan man, were formally charged with relatively minor offenses that lawyers involved in the case said could keep them in custody while more serious charges, including conspiracy to murder, are weighed by Irish prosecutors. The lawyers said charges against the five others were also possible.

The two men are in jail until next hearing on Friday.

Keep and eye out and don't forget to keep sending me the tips!

Thanks to someone for helping me compile this.

Clashes Erupt in Jerusalem after Hamas Declares "Day of Rage"

Masked Palestinians clashed with Israeli police in multiple east Jerusalem neighborhoods on Tuesday, hurling rocks at security forces and burning tires. Hamas called for a "day of rage" following the rededication of the Hurva synagogue in Jerusalem's Old City on Monday.

Destroyed Jerusalem Synagogue Rededicated
The renowned Hurva synagogue inside the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City has been rebuilt and is again an operational house of prayer after a 62-year hiatus. The synagogue, once the largest in Jerusalem, was destroyed by the Jordanian Arab Legion during the War of Independence in 1948.

The Hurva's Symbolism
Twice destroyed and twice rebuilt, the Hurva is a symbol of the Jewish people's tenacious insistence on returning to its rightful land against all odds. This refusal to be deterred by setbacks is the secret of the miracle that is the Jewish state.

Citizens an Early Warning System for Terrorism

An editorial in the Philly Inquirer on how you can help prevent terrorism. Here's a teaser:

The Internet is a vast battleground in the war on terror; law enforcement doesn’t have the resources to keep track of all of the potential threats. And a vigilant network of online tipsters deserves credit for monitoring people like LaRose, and in some cases turning them in.....

The case against LaRose illustrates how difficult it is for authorities to separate idle rants on the Internet from serious threats. If someone of her background can become radicalized in sleepy, suburban Pennsburg, the threat can come from anywhere. And bloggers have become an important early-warning system. [READ THE REST]

We're an "early-warning system"? I like that.

I think Glenn might call us an Army of Early Warning Systems.

New Leader for Abu Sayyaf

Khair Mundos (Mundus).jpg(Manila, Philippines) The al-Qaeda-linked Islamist terror group Abu Sayyaf reportedly has a new leader, Khair Mundus (aka Mundos), who is said to be connected to foreign financial donors in Saudi Arabia and Malaysia. Mundus has named Puruji Indama as his deputy.

The United States last year offered $500,000 for information leading to the capture or killing of Mundus, who was arrested by Philippine authorities in 2004 but escaped from a local jail in 2007. While in police custody, Mundus confessed to having arranged the transfer of Al-Qaeda funds to an Abu Sayyaf chief to finance bombings and other attacks, according to the US State Department.
Sources say that Abu Sayyaf has been reduced to about 400 members due to U.S.-backed offenses which have killed or captured many of its commanders.

Apparently differing from previous leaders, Khair Mundus is said to be spiritually-motivated, packing the heads of his jello-brained recruits with allahu-akbar-mush when teaching them to make bombs. Nonetheless, the Philippine Armed Forces are undeterred. Lt. Col. Arnulfo Burgos said, “We are not daunted whoever the new Abu Sayyaf leader is. Leaders just come and go." (More ....)

Boy Kidnapped in Pakistan Found Safe

BBC:

The family of a five-year-old British boy who was kidnapped while in Pakistan say they are "ecstatic" after he was found safe and well.

Sahil Saeed, from Oldham, had been snatched from his grandmother's house in Jhelum by armed robbers on 3 March.

He was reportedly found abandoned on Tuesday morning 20 miles away near a village school in the town of Dinga.

The family in Oldham said they were "over the moon" after the British High Commissioner confirmed Sahil's release.

They also said that Sahil's mother Akila Naqqash had spoken to her son on the telephone.

"The whole family is ecstatic. They are currently taking in the news in and want to celebrate as a family," a spokesman said.

Very good news indeed.

Serena Kozakura – her professional name – was convicted in 2007 of kicking a hole in a man's door and crawling inside, supposedly because she was angry that he was with another woman.

However, in her defence, her counsel asked the court to compare the size of the hole in the door with Kozakura's 110cm bust – and suggested that she couldn't possibly have made it through the gap.

Donald S. Breese Pled Guilty To Making Material False Statements To The Army

One of the worst scum ever:

NEWARK—A Somerset man pleaded guilty today to making false statements in documents he submitted for employment as a civilian for the United States Army at Fort Dix and Picatinny Arsenal, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.

Donald S. Breese, 37, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge William J. Martini to a two-count Information that charges him with making materially false statements to the United States Army in separate applications for civilian employment at Fort Dix in 2004 and Picatinny Arsenal in 2007. Sentencing is scheduled for July 14, 2010.

At his plea hearing, Breese admitted that he misled the Army into hiring him by falsely representing his qualifications. Specifically, Breese admitted that he falsely stated that he had earned a Bachelor's Degree from Rutgers University when, in fact, he had not. Breese also admitted that he had falsely claimed he attended Navy Underwater Demolition School and Navy Advanced Surface Demolition School, and that he had served in Operation Desert Shield, Desert Storm, Desert Calm, and Restore Hope. Breese admitted that he misled the Army and others into believing that he had been a Navy SEAL and a Department of Defense Police Officer and Special Agent.

Further, Breese acknowledged that he had falsely stated that he was a special warfare corpsman, that he had trained with foreign weapons and munitions, and that he had served as a bomb technician for the Department of Defense Police. Breese also admitted that he had altered a genuine Federal Bureau of Investigation Hazardous Device School certification to make it appear to be his own in order to mislead the Army into believing that he had received required training for the position of Safety Occupational Health Specialist, at Picatinny Arsenal.

The charges to which Breese pleaded guilty carry a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a fine of $250,000 on each count. In determining an actual sentence, Judge Martini will consult the advisory U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, which provide appropriate sentencing ranges that take into account the severity and characteristics of the offense, the defendant's criminal history, if any, and other actors. The judge, however, is not bound by those guidelines in determining a sentence.

Parole has been abolished in the federal system. Defendants who are given custodial terms must serve nearly all that time.

Israel Nabs top Hamas Ops

In addition to murdering Israeli citizens notice who Udda is suspected of torturing. Not Israelis, but Palestinians. This is exactly how all Islamist insurgencies operate. They hate the kuffar (unbelievers), but they hate the murtadeen (apostates) even more. Which is what they label any one who opposes them and it gives them religious grounds for murdering their political enemies since under Islamic law apostates are killed.

Rantburg:

Israel says they captured the last senior official of Hamas' armed wing still at large in the Ramallah area. Maher Udda was arrested at his home in an operation conducted jointly by the Israel Defense Forces, the Shin Bet security service and the Israel Police capping a decade of efforts by security forces to apprehend him.

Udda, 47, from the village of Ein Yabrud, north of Ramallah, joined Hamas in the early 1990s and headed a Hamas cell in his village that was involved primarily in the capture and interrogation of Palestinian civilians suspected of collaboration with Israel.

Malaysia Asks Sweden to Suspend Free Speech

According to AFP, the Foreign Minister of Malaysia, Anifah Aman, has asked the nation of Sweden to suspend free speech after a caricature of Mohammed was printed in three newspapers.

He said his country was concerned that such "despicable acts disregard the sensitivity of the Muslim world in the name of freedom of expression."

"Such irresponsible acts are provocative and offensive in nature and hence it is totally unacceptable," he added.

"Malaysia wishes to request the Swedish government to take measures against such publications to prevent the recurrence of such irresponsible acts in the future."

Swedish government authorities say they haven't received anything official yet. It's unknown how Sweden will respond. However, Malaysian Muslims are planning to demonstrate in front of the Swedish Embassy next Friday.

So the question is: "Will Sweden take measures and make it illegal to piss off the Muslims?" I'd like to think not.

More Naval Gazing: "Web monitors didn't take 'JihadJane' seriously, at first"

The truth is that I never took Jihad Jane seriously. I'll let Stable Hand and Howie speak for themselves, but I never got the feeling they took her that seriously either. The moral of the story is never trust your feelings.

Philly Inquirer capitalizing on the interview I gave them to produce a second story out of it over the weekend:

He and others had been watching LaRose for at least two years, usually with amusement. As she continued to post inflammatory video clips on YouTube, groups such as JawaReport and YouTube Smackdown reported her and got her account closed.

The JawaReport blogger said LaRose went through at least 27 accounts that YouTube pulled.

"It became quite common for us to make fun of her, and it became even more fun because she would respond to you," he said. "It became a bit of a cat-and-mouse game."

"JihadJane's" Web naiveties made her easy to identify as LaRose, he said, and to find her social-networking sites.

"It was kind of funny, because she was claiming to be a hard-core jihadist," he said. "Then we saw some old pictures of her drinking beer and stuff. Honestly, it looked like someone straight out of 'Cops.'"

Thank Allah that a friend of the YouTube Smackdown corps ( I think that's pronounced corpse) did take her seriously!

Also, I taped a segment for Aaron Klein's WABC Sunday radio show which should have been broadcast yesterday. If any one recorded the interview or knows where to find it online, I'd be interested in a link to see if I sucked big time or just sucked moderately.

I'll also be on an internet radio show tomorrow with my old friends from Scared Monkeys. I don't have a link yet, but should be able to post something tomorrow.

Last, we do accept donations. And by "we" I mean "me". I can't promise your donations will go to anything more useful than me taking my wife out for dinner. But just remember that when Mrs. Shackleford isn't happy then she doesn't let me screw around on the internet all day messing with bad guys.

Muslim Man F*cks Livestock; Muslims Ask Are they Still Halal?

Creeping Sharia:

No, it’s not The Onion, it’s a report by Habib Toumi, Bureau Chief of Gulf News, Man treated at hospital after having sex with animals in Kuwait.

Kuwait City: An Asian watchman is being treated at a local hospital after he had sexual intercourse with animals on the farm he was guarding.

“I was shocked during my last visit to the farm to see the watchman screaming in pain and I took him to the hospital in Farwaniya. There, doctors diagnosed him with a problem with his organ,” the farm owner was quoted as saying by Kuwaiti daily Al Rai on Saturday.

The unnamed watchman reportedly explained to his employer that he had been doing “sexual things” to the animals and that he may have contracted a dangerous disease. The farm owner said that the expatriate worker cried continiously and saying that he was “extremely tired.”

Readers’ comments on the internet ranged from sympathy for the lonely man to outrage for cruelty to animals. Many asked questions whether the animals were now fit for human consumption.

Ha thanks to the Iranian Mullahs I know the answer to this one. The answer is, yes they are still OK. But not to be sold or eaten in your own village. You must sell them to the Muslims in the village down the road, who presumably doesn't know the animal was "violated".

And not knowing makes all the difference, I guess.

Good luck at the markets Akhi.

Phyllis Chesler: Whores Turn Him Down, Battered Wives Walk Out, Western Journalists Harass Him

The other day, a pediatric nurse in New York City refused to dance with Mbarek Lafrem, a Moroccan man, in a New York City bar. What did Lafrem do? He followed her into the women’s bathroom where he attempted to rape and savagely beat her. The woman was found unconscious and is now hospitalized.

The media pointedly refrain from telling us that he is a Muslim, but with a name like “Mbarek” or ‘Mubarak,” what religion are we talking about? Lafrem now claims that she started it, that the nurse “berated him when he barged into the women’s restroom shortly after she’d rebuffed him on the dance floor.”

I wonder what he expected to happen when going in the ladies room? A warm welcome. I'm almost tempted to point out he's not a very devout Muslim because of all the Islamic law he's broken. Drinking, carousing with infidels etc etc.

This is UNCONFIRMED....but we thought our readers would want to know about it..

Business Insider

As reported by Neal Ungerleider at True/Slant, rumors are spreading across the Arab-speaking internet that Egyption Prisdent Hosni Mubarak has died after surgery in Germany.

The talk of the Egyptian blogosphere right now is a fast-spreading rumor that President Hosni Mubarak has died. Hundreds of Egyptian and Arabic-speaking Twitter users are posting news of the 81-year-old leader’s death. The reports occurred after reports of Mubarak dying in a German hospital were broadcast on Russian television and on Arabic television.

Hosni Mubarak has been the President of Egypt since 1981, making him the country’s longest-serving leader since Mohammed Ali.

Ungerleider goes onto lay out what is known and what is speculation, and notes some odd moves on the part of the Egyption government, including the banning of Skype.

Chalk this up as MAJOR UNCONFIRMED RUMOR. But we thought you should know that it's out there.


When we get any more info we will update..

Egypt Mujihadeen Need Peeps

The good Islamic citizens of Abu Za'bul District in Egypt are accepting proposals from international organizations to make upgrades to the water supply and effluent treatment systems in order to provide a better quality of life for all of the community.

Just kidding. They want Abu Omar Al-Baghdadi and the Islamic State of Iraq to murder innocent people just because.

This is a message from your brothers in Egypt in the Abu Za`bul District, after our situation is getting from bad to worse, we took the decision to write you this letter to ask you to support and help us and to declare a new expedition under the name "The expedition of the prisoners of Abu Za`bul" and we ask you to execute this operation against the Americans and their apostate allies so it will be a sign for the tyrants here in egypt that one day it will be their turn to cut their heads off and to taste them the taste of death

Isn't that sweet.

Pakistan: Christian Girl Burned Alive To Keep Her From Reporting Rape By Son Of Her Employer

No wonder the Lahore Bar Association said they would burn anyone alive if they defended murdered 12 year-old Shazia Bashir, another Christian housemaid. Burning alive is method of choice there it appears.

The girl in this article, who was also raped by the son of her employer, threatened to report rape to police. In return, the rapist and his sister set her on fire. Bastages!!!

Via Pakistan Christian Post

Lahore: March 11, 2010. (PCP) A Christian girl working as housemaid was raped by son her Muslim employer and on her threats to report police was burnt by rapist and his sister in city of Sheikhupura in Punjab province of Pakistan.

Kiran George was 80% burnt when Mohammad Ahmad Raza and his sister threw petrol on her and set her on fire to keep her mouth shut to report rape.

Kiran George was brought to Mayo Hospital Lahore from Sheikhupura on March 9, 2010, where she recorded her statement to police that Mohammad Ahmed Raza raped her in his home during work.

She died here in Mayo Hospital Lahore today and her dead body was taken back to her home in Jahangirabad colony in Sheipkupura.

I noticed a image type advertisement of hoodies for sale which shows the alQaeda logo with "Daulah Islam" (Islamic State) which relates to a Southeast Asian militant Islamic organization "Jemaah Islamiah". That group was added to the list of terrorist organizations linked to alQaeda by UN Security Council Resolution 1267 on October 25, 2002.

Regular readers will know this group by the Bali, Marriot Hotel & Jakarta Embassy bombings. They also heart beheading, especially Christian girls.

Strange Twist In Jihad Jane Case: Jamie Paulin-Ramirez Was Released From Custody?!?!?!?(Updated)

As the jihad turns, or doesn't? Time will tell.

Via ABC

Colorado mother Jamie Paulin-Ramirez was released from custody in Ireland after being arrested in a plot to kill a Swedish cartoonist who angered many Muslims by portraying Mohammed with a dog's body.

Authorities are still holding three other suspects in that alleged plot, including Paulin-Ramirez' husband and Colleen Larose, who allegedly called herself "Jihad Jane" online.

Didn't see that one coming especially with all we have learned about her.

I keep thinking what her step father said:

"When her stepfather asked if she would strap a bomb to her chest, her mother said that Paulin-Ramirez replied, "If necessary."
Expect more updates.

Update: Times has more background on the arrests, and release of Jihad Jamie. Appears their terrorism laws need some tweeking:

This weekend three suspects remain in custody following the release of all three women and a man. Those released may yet face charges, a police spokesman said, while those still in custody can be held until Tuesday. [..]

The police presence outside the Kashmir restaurant[beginning of article] was far less relaxed early last week when 20 officers armed with pump-action shotguns stormed an adjacent apartment block and arrested a 26-year-old Croatian man.

At the same time police raids were being carried out in other locations in Waterford and Cork. Three married couples were arrested, all of them Muslims. The police would say only that seven people aged from their 20s to late 40s had been arrested under Section 50 of the anti-terror Offences against the State Act.

The link between the suspects, who made Irish legal history by appearing in the first private hearings at Waterford court so that police could extend their periods of detention up to a maximum of seven days,[ding..we have a winner] is strongly suspected to be “Jihad Jane”, an al-Qaeda “groupie” accused by the FBI of planning the murder of the controversial Swedish cartoonist, Lars Vilks.

As the Jihad Turns continues.

Good News: Jihad Jamie was online Buddies with NY al Qaeda Plotter!

The plot just keeps getting thicker and thicker. I'm not sure if the takeaway from this is that the plot to kill Lars Vilks has an al Qaeda connection; or if it is just that the English speaking online jihadi community is just so small that it was inevitable that "Jihad Jamie" and al Qaeda trained would-be terrorist Najibullah Zazi crossed paths?

In either even, this may not be such good news:

Mott said that last year, Paulin-Ramirez began spending considerable time on the Internet in Muslim chat rooms, befriending JihadJane and other Muslim extremists — including Najibullah Zazi, the Aurora airport-shuttle driver who recently admitted his plot to bomb the New York City subway system. She also began wearing fundamentalist Muslim clothing, including a hijab, or head cloth covering everything except her eyes.

Paulin-Ramirez left Leadville in September and traveled to New York, where she married an Algerian. The couple, as well as her son, then traveled to Ireland, Mott said.

One also can't help but wondering if the fact that Jamie Paulin-Ramirez was from Colorado and traveled to New York to marry her future husband is just a coincidence with the fact that Zazi was living in Colorado but had lived extensively in New York -- where the plot to attack the subways and his co-conspirators lived -- or if there's something deeper going on here?

One also wonders just what chat rooms they were hanging out in? But I suspect I know the answer to that one already...

Thanks to Aaron.

Update from Sinan: Better news still - she's been released in Ireland, which doesn't mean much in terms of guilt or innocence, but it does give her some room to maneuver. Stay tuned...

Why YouTube Matters to the Lone Wolf Terrorist

StarCMC has a lengthy post up about the evolution of Islamic jihad. The most important recent development has been the call by al Qaeda's Adam Gadahn for individual acts of jihad in which would-be terrorists are urged not to consult with any one else before murdering their victims. For why that is see this post at the Society for Internet Research: Adam Gadahn makes the case for the weakness of al-Qaida Central.

If jihadis are beginning to realize that the more organized they are the more danger there is of detection by intelligence and law enforcement agencies, then calls to direct action through the internet become increasingly dangerous. If the present model for law enforcement is to disrupt terror plots only after some time in order to detect as many players involved in the plots as possible, then in an age of Nidal Hasan style Fort Hood massacres it becomes woefully inadequate.

Star CMC:

As terrorist movements become increasingly characterized by “lone wolf” scenarios and as radical Islamic clerics call for even greater use of technology to both join them together and also to spread propaganda, terrorist’s use of forums such as YouTube, Twitter, MySpace, LiveLeak and Facebook and any other internet technologies which evolve to encite and train their followers will become that much more important to their ability to conduct the business of terrorism.

These uses of technology and the internet must be taken seriously if we wish to impede the spread of terrorism. To disregard threats posed over the internet, which is emerging as a vital terrorist tool for battle, is to seal our own fate.

READ THE REST.

If the jihadis were to take Gadahn's advice, then the stream of propaganda towards terrorism becomes more causally direct and therefore should become a higher priority. I really like Aaron's "supply-side approach to dealing with jihadi media" and would urge those in law enforcement, intelligence, or academia to seriously consider it.

American Jihadist in Ireland's Facebook Photo Unsurprisingly Familiar

Jamie Paulin-Ramirez, the Colorado convert to Islam who disappeared last year only to show up in Ireland married to an Algerian and allegedly involved somehow in a plot to kill cartoonist Lars Vilks, seems to have had a Facebook page. It's down now but the Google cache shows something quite unextraordinary.

Here is her profile picture.

Which looks extraordinarily similar to her buddy Colleen "Jihad Jane" "Fatima" LaRose's.

New Jersey's Sharif Mobley, Suspected alQaeda Member, Attended Yemen's Dammaj Islamic Institute

2002 Sharif Mobley 26.jpg

As the facts begin to come out about Sharif Mobley, not only have we learned that US authorities were aware of him for some time, but that he also worked in several nuclear plants before leaving for Yemen two years ago. Additionally, Mobley attended a known extremist school in Yemen.

AOL News: Mobley was known as "the Somali" because of his African heritage, he said. He also said Mobley studied at Dar al-Hadith Dammaj institute in Saada, a well-known Salafist school in Yemen's northern province, which was decried as a "known terrorist training center" during tribunals for Guantanamo Bay detainees.

"Reports say that between 3,000 and 5,000 foreign students live and study there," said Abdul-Salam al-Korary, a local journalist who has covered Yemen for several decades. "It is a very radical school."

The Dammaj Institute is the flagship school of the Dar al Hadeth network of hard core Salafi institutes in Yemen. The school is isolated, and students are immersed in the rigorous teaching program 24/7. There are a half dozen other Dar al Hadeth schools and numerous outposts dotted all over Yemen.

The Dammaj school gives students light weapons training, but they insist it is for self defense purposes necessitated by the Sa'ada War. The school has railed against the Shiite Houthi rebels and students have gotten into several firefights. In earlier outbreaks of the war, the Dammaj school reported that it was well guarded by Yemeni troops. According to typical Salafi philosophy, the Dammaj institute eschews political participation.

Beyond providing protection for the school, the Yemeni government has also hired some of the institute’s graduates. Al-Thawri weekly reported in August 2006 that the Endowments Ministry licensed over 100 graduates of Salafi centers as preachers in the space of two weeks. The paper said the centers are “linked to extremism and have relations with influential people”. The Socialists’ newspaper noted that graduates from both the Dammaj center in Sa’ada and Sheik Mohammed Al-Imam’s center in Maber, were granted licenses to work.

War In Afghanistan/Iraq Probable Cause Of Recent Upswing Of Americans Joining the Jihad

2002 Sharif Mobley 26.jpg

Via NYT
WASHINGTON — The arrest in Yemen of a New Jersey man accused of joining Al Qaeda is the latest in an alarming string of cases involving radicalized American Muslims, a trend some experts link to the duration of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Yemeni authorities said this week that the American, Sharif Mobley, 26, who had worked for six years as a laborer at nuclear plants in New Jersey, had been arrested last week in Sana, the Yemeni capital, in a sweep of militants tied to the Yemeni branch of Al Qaeda and the Somali movement Al Shabab.

Leftist/terrorist propagandist talking points. If we weren't in Iraq & Afghanistan the radicalization would still happen, the terrorists hate us.

Rusty Vindicated? Watchdogs Important in Catching Some Terrorists

And yet more naval gazing for Rusty in which I link an article in which I'm quoted extensively. It's here in the Philly Enquirer. Instead of quoting myself from the article, how about I drop this quote in for the sake of "righterthanyou"?

Philadelphia FBI spokesman J.J. Klaver would not confirm whether a tip from the Web watcher led to the LaRose investigation.

But former U.S. Attorney Patrick Meehan said last night: "I'm aware and know that there certainly was a role in this case served by such a group in alerting the federal authorities."

Meehan, who left office in 2008, said online tipsters are natural descendants of the "eyes and ears" community contacts who tipped off police to crime rackets, drug deals, and other impending crimes.

"With the amount of things that fly around online, it is impossible for law enforcement to be all things to all people," Meehan said. "This relationship is supportive and, in cases such as this, has proved to be vital in leading to an arrest."

A federal official involved in counterterrorism who did not want to be identified said the volume of Internet traffic "is insane," adding, "The question is, how do you know which posts are for real? You don't. You just have to hope you are right."

Jihad Jane: "I won't quit til Islam dominates the world; I never want peace with these filthy bastards" -- Another Jawa Report Exclusive

***Bumped***sticky for this AM***If on Main Page (mypetjawa.mu.nu) then please scroll down for newer posts***

Here's a screenshot of one of Coleen "Jihad Jane" "Fatima" LaRose's YouTube accounts from October of 2008. I have her comments transcribed below.

Two companion stories to this one including a number of unpublished photos of Jihad Jane and some screenshots of her online activities -- are here: : I turned in Colleen "Jihad Jane" LaRose to the FBI and Youtuber "Jihad Jane" Indicted on Federal Terrorism Charges.

Who am I to pass up another exclusive?

If you click the thumbnail above you should be able to see the original version of it. If you're from the media and you want to use the image, please cite "The Jawa Report" or "StarCMC" and for love of all that is holy is it too hard to ask that you link us when you give the credit?

I've transcribed what she wrote on her JihadJane4Life channel below. Is it just me, or do you think she's a little annoyed that she kept getting pwn3d by we "Zionists, Zionist slaves, and haters"? Lulz.

With the exception of some spacing and emphasis, I've done nothing to alter the text. Spelling errors, therefore, belong to the author.

2. His wife Jamie Ramirez (American, from Kansas -- nope, Jamie Ramirez is from Colorado -- convert to Islam). They live in Waterford.

3. Danijel Orsos (Croatian, age 26, convert to Islam). He is a Roma (gypsy) refugee granted asylum by Ireland in 2003. He lives Tramore, Co.Waterford.

4. Abd Al-Salam Mansur Al Jahani (Libyan, moved to Ireland 2000 or 2001).

5. His wife Nadah Sameh (Palestinian). They live in either Waterford or Tramore.

Yes, Jihad Jane Was a Loser

Below is a conversation Colleen "Jihad Jane" "Fatima" LaRose had with an online advice columnist in which she asks how she can get her Egyptian boyfriend a visa to come to the US. Notice the response about how Egypt sucks and so do most Egyptian men.

This kind of reminds me of the story told by Laura Mansfield of her experience living in Egypt with her former husband who, as it turned out, was a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. The moral of the story? Don't marry a Muslim and move to the Middle East!

As I've said in several interviews, LaRose always came off to me as rather pathetic. Unlike any of the other Muslim women I encountered online who hung around with the Salaafi jihad crowd, "Jihad Jane" was the only one who seemed to use the social networking aspects of YouTube to flirt with guys.

Here we see that as early as December 2007 she was hooking up with Muslim men intent on meeting them in the real world. And because of difficulties in getting a US visa, she met them in Europe.

Which is important because as pathetic as she was, the plot to kill Lars Vilks revolved around her going to Sweden and meeting an online boyfriend there. She would use her own American passport and a stolen passport from her boyfriend back in Pennsylvania to further the plot by helping them both blend in better.

I'll post the conversation she had below, but let me address two criticisms I've been getting about the Jihad Jane case.

1) Why am I making this out to be a big deal? Colleen LaRose obviously wasn't the biggest threat to national security and was in no way connected to al Qaeda.

You're right. What, did you expect me to defend this? Nabbing Jihad Jane was not equivalent to nabbing Osama bin Laden. I understand that.

Also, who was the last terrorist or would-be terrorist that you helped track? None? Not even a small fry? Not even a pathetic lonely woman out to kill a Swedish cartoonist who had the audacity to blaspheme Mohammad? No?

Then why don't you STFU?

I didn't drop the dime on Jihad Jane, someone else did. But she was not the first among my circle of friends to have been detected and arrested because of her online activities. She won't be the last either.

This is not my first time to this particular kind of dog and pony show. It won't be the last.

2) You cyber "vigilantes" are making it harder for law enforcement to do their jobs!

Really? How is calling the FBI and telling them that there may be a crime being committed -- which is exactly what happened here -- somehow hurting law enforcement?

Seriously, some of you people are morons. Thanks to every one else for defending us in the comments here or over at the ABC story that's getting so much attention.

Also, karma?





Jihad Jane's pathetic conversation follows.

Question:

I have a boyfriend that lives in Egypt, he & i have been corrosponding(online)&(telephone) for over a year, I want him to come meet my family & spend christmas with us, but I dont know how to get a visa for him to come here to visit...do I need to send him an invitation? & if so, what am i suppose to say in that invitation? He & I would very much ike to spend time with eachother as soon as possible. Please, Please can ou help me in any way to expidite his visit here....By the way, I live in Pennsylvannia.
Thnk you in advance
Fatima La Rose

Answer
Dear Fatima,

(Is that your real name, or a name he gave you? If it is your real name, then there should be enough Arab in your blood - as it is an Egyptian name - to know the answer to this question)

I'm not going to sugar coat this for you in any way. I'm generally a direct person, and especially on this topic, I'm very direct. I've lived here for 10 years and watched over and over and over again these boys sweet talk perfectly nice women who fall for their lines every time. Truth be told, 11 years ago, I did. I moved here anyway and I'm happy to be living here, but I won't probably let an Egyptian man do that again to me.

So, the short answer to your question is - The American Embassy is NOT going to be giving your boyfriend a visa to come visit you at Christmas or ever (probably), and certainly no "invitation" from you will change their minds. To tell the truth, I'm not certain where these boys get this idea that an "invitation" is what they need from us women to automatically walk into the embassy and have them bow to them and give them the visa. The only thing I have come up with is that they use the word "invitation" when a company offers them a job or a conference is being held and they need to go to it for their jobs. So, someone along the line might have had an "invitation" from some company to come work for them, and that was what got him his visa. Or another was "invited" to come to some conference or seminar that was being held in America, and for the work reason he was given a visa. BUT NO! If you write a personal "invitation" to him and he takes that into the Embassy, the Embassy people are going to laugh and tell him to go away. I'm sure they see plenty of those daily. There are soooooooooooooo many Egyptian boys trying anything they can to get to America. They hate America, they love Americans, and they'd give their right arm to be in America. They know of it what they see on TV and in the movies, and have NO CLUE what it's really like. Then they meet a gal on the Internet that is a little lonely and ready to have an Internet relationship with someone far far away, and they start with the "princess" talk and all that... and boy do we fall for it...right?

Now, having said all that, I hope you are not in that group. I hope he is a nice boy that really does care for you and would be happy to be with you anywhere, which if it is the case, the reality of the situation is that you are going to have to come to Egypt. He is NOT going to America. I can assure you of that. What more, should you come to Egypt and are both still in love, you are going to have to move here to be with him because EVEN if you marry him, contrary to what he will tell you, he still can't just pick up and move to America. It just isn't that easy. America doesn't hand out visas for marriage as easy as they used to. You could come here, you could get married, and you could spend several years waiting for his visa to be approved. I had a girlfriend that worked for a contractor to the American Embassy, she met her husband at the same company. They married, had a baby and still it took maybe more than a year for his visa to get approved. You'd think if he was working for an American company like that- tied to the Embassy that the security clearance he would have passed just to get the job would have meant an easy time getting the visa - NOPE!

So, as hard as it is, drop the dreams of him coming to America and having a happy little family there. It's not going to happen for some time anyway, and you may as well find out what it is like here as if you were to get together with him, you'd be coming back here often enough. They never go away and stay long - at the very least, holidays are spent in Egypt with family. So, come here, meet his family. See how his mother lives as that will give you a good clue as to how he would expect you to be happy....unless of course you can support him and let him live in a much nicer style....but that isn't easy either, unless you are independently wealthy.

I'm sorry to be such a wet blanket on the subject, but I think I told you the WAY IT IS. It's not going to be easy. It's not going to take an "invitation". If you really want to meet, the thing to do is get your own plane ticket over here and meet him here. And if you do that, don't do anything rash like marry him on the first trip over because that first holiday here is going to be very exotic and romantic, and not real at all. You need to get past the romance and all that to see on an everyday basis what life here would be like and if you would like it. Many of us love it, others don't so much. It's an individual thing, but don't let this boy be the only thing you love about Egypt if you take that step. Have many things to love and when he looses his charm, you'll still be happy.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Fatima LaRose Defended Threat To Slit 16 Year Old Girl's Throat

Star CMC:

So here’s an interesting bit – this is from YouTube user FuryofMsMarvel’s YouTube channel background… You need to start at the bottom of the image and read up – it’s the way YouTube’s comments work – newest at the top. The story is that there was a YouTube user named MuslimahoftheCentury who was a 16 year old girl and was what we would call a moderate muslim. Colleen’s boyfriend (or someone she wanted as her boyfriend), MujahidFilKilafah, threatened to slit the girl’s throat because she was moderate.

Jersey Jihaddi Update: A Nuclear Plant Worker

Sharif Mobley, arrested in Yemen after trying to shoot his way out of a hospital, worked at several nuclear plants prior to his trip to Yemen, but he "was not believed to have breached security at the plants." Yippee-do!

Yahoo: Mobley graduated from high school in 2002 in the rural southern New Jersey town of Buena, and later lived in Philadelphia and Newark, Del. Castro said that in the past few years, Mobley organized religious pilgrimages to the Middle East for other Muslims....

Mobley worked for several contractors at three nuclear power plants in New Jersey from 2002 to 2008, PSE&G Nuclear spokesman Joe Delmar said. Mobley carried supplies and did maintenance work at the plants on Artificial Island in Lower Alloways Creek, and worked at other plants in the region as well.

Some U.S. officials see a growing Taliban-Al Qaeda rift(Living under those drones ain't so nice..)

All the pressure is making life very difficult for them......more drone attacks please.

LA Times

A growing number of Taliban militants in the Pakistani border region are refusing to collaborate with Al Qaeda fighters, declining to provide shelter or assist in attacks in Afghanistan even in return for payment, according to U.S. military and counter-terrorism officials.

The officials, citing evidence from interrogation of detainees, communications intercepts and public statements on extremist websites, say that threats to the militants' long-term survival from Pakistani, Afghan and foreign military action are driving some Afghan Taliban away from Al Qaeda.

I turned in Colleen "Jihad Jane" LaRose to the FBI -- A Jawa Report Exclusive

***Exclusive***Sticky***

****Due to the overwhelming number of media inquiries, I'm bumping this post and then putting it below the fold (click "read more..." for the entire story if you are reading this from the front page.)

The companion post to this one -- including a number of unpublished photos of Jihad Jane and some screenshots of her online activities -- are here: Youtuber "Jihad Jane" Indicted on Federal Terrorism Charges.

Below is The Jawa Report's exclusive report* from the person who notified the FBI about Colleen "Jihad Jane" La Rose's online activities in support of terrorism.

There have been so many media inquiries made to The Jawa Report and YouTube Smackdown about our involvement in the "Jihad Jane" case. We here at The Jawa Report and the YouTube Smackdown Corps were involved to varying degrees in tracking and "smacking down" her various YouTube videos and accounts. By "smacking down" we mean we helped with an organized campaign to "flag" terrorist propaganda videos uploaded to YouTube in an effort to have those videos removed.

Howie and Stable Hand at the Jawa Report, for instance, were much more active in following Colleen -- who in addition to calling herself "Jihad Jane" also used the name "Fatima LaRose".

Andrea, Sabby, The Bartender, Celebrimbor, & Lam from the Smackdown Corps also followed Jihad Jane over the years. And Star CMC was instrumental both in the Corps and in enlisting the help of members of the Free Republic forum for various YouTube smackdowns.

But one individual in particular decided that Colleen's pro-terrorism videos and statements crossed a line last year. I think we all thought of Colleen as pathetic and perhaps deranged. But at some time a year or more ago she also caught this person's attention and they made the judgment that Colleen was also dangerous.

This is their story:

I initially started on youtube with a channel dedicated to performing arts. Due to some disturbing comments I received on videos of Middle East Performing Arts by some so-called fanatical muslims posting comments such as, "if this were my sister I could kill her" or "if I ever if I ever see this girl I will rape her", I decided to open up a new channel and investigate further where this blind hatred for women in Middle East Performing Arts came from.


"I came to know her as a middle aged sociopath woman desperate for love, lonely and isolated"

One thing lead to another and the next thing I knew, I was dealing with fanatical's such as JihadJane/FatimaLaRose whose real identity was later revealed as Colleen LaRose. I noted this woman's dedication to Osama Bin Laden and her extreme hatred to the U.S. and all those who were not muslim wishing death upon us as well as favoriting and commenting on every terrorist video on youtube posting comments such as "you are doing a good job". Over the course of approximately 1 1/2 years we exchanged comments on youtube in reference to her fanatical beliefs, at times me becoming her main rival which drew attention from others who were monitoring her, mainly the Youtube SmackDown group who were responsible for removing many terrorist vids from youtube.

Bit by bit I learned more about Colleen through her comments or by all the information she recklessly left about herself on the web. I came to know her as a middle aged sociopath woman desperate for love, lonely and isolated, with a deep hatred for the U.S. blaming them for all her problems. She claimed her conversion to Islam was related to meeting a Muslim while on vacation in Holland who somehow made her feel special which became her quest to find a much younger wealthy Muslim husband as evident by her other website accounts with photos of possible husbands including one with stashes of cash piled around his body. Many of her comments revealed a possible husband, much younger than her, and her typical excited giggles plus questions on visa websites asking how to get this possible husband to her. All of this later revealed in searches on the web after she became radicalized.

jihad_jane_myspace.jpg
"I noted this woman's dedication to Osama Bin Laden"

Since Fatima metamorphosed into the perfect recruit, her previous internet activity was easy to track which she listed her real name, birth date, location, and even online pictures of herself. She was the perfect recruit for extremist; lonely, isolated, blaming others for her problems, in the middle of a midlife crisis, and upset that she had to care for her elderly mother. She lashed out and converted to Islam then used this as an excuse to lash out further at society for being at fault for her problems and citing her elderly mother she had to care for who did not approve of her conversion.

Fast track to the period I came to know Colleen, she had already become radicalized. Due to her radical postings in support of Osama Bin Laden claiming him as her Sheik and idolizing 9/11 coupled with our internet encounters, I soon became friends with the group that was tracking internet terrorism - YoutubeSmackDown. We started sharing information since Colleen became their main source for finding terrorist videos on youtube since she was the main source for favoriting them.

During this period we all noticed Colleen becoming more terroristic with the U.S. for her personal problems and more fanatical in her beliefs. Many of these members had never heard of me and I had never heard of them before. However it soon became a joint effort since we watched a potential terrorist comint to life on youtube becoming more radicalized as days went on and more of a real threat to the U.S.


[Colleen in Amsterdam] "She claimed her conversion to Islam was related to meeting a Muslim while on vacation in Holland who somehow made her feel special"

Colleen went from being angry at the U.S. as a sociopath blaming them for all her problems in life to actually contacting real terrorist plotting terroristic threats against the U.S. Although Youtube Smackdown was responsible for removing most of her terrorist accounts, she remained determined to create more accounts on youtube promoting terrorism against the U.S. and grew more of a following of real terrorist as time went on, joining online terrorist websites and promoting them on her youtube channels.

When she finally made an account which she actively solicited funds for the Pakistan Mujaheddin, which at this point I knew she had acquired the contacts for, I knew she had become a real threat for our safety and had officially violated U.S. Federal Law. It was time to report her. This being in July 2009 I formally called the FBI in Philadelphia to report her.


"Colleen went from being angry at the U.S. as a sociopath blaming them for all her problems in life to actually contacting real terrorist plotting terroristic threats against the U.S."

Without the combined effort of Youtube Smackdown and members of that group which I did not know on a personal basis until our combined efforts of exposing Colleen, none of this would of taken place. Most of us still remain anonymous to each other except for a few group contacts that collaborated this effort and exchanged much information in tracking Colleen on the web. This was a group effort that deserves more pats on the back than just my story with many more plain citizens with their own stories watching out for the U.S. and our safety and security who phase into my story on how we all came together to bring down a terrorist and watched her metamorphosis a terrorist on youtube.

Thanks to so many anonymous that we all came together to bring a terrorist down and the real life story of how it evolved. We are plain citizens of the U.S. Without us, the FBI may of never been onto her.

Wish to remain Anonymous and special thanks to the Youtube Smackdown Group. We did a good job here.

American Among 7 Arrested in Ireland over Lars Vilks Terror Plot

Mark Humphries notes that the Evening Herald has printed the names of the seven Islamists in Ireland tied to Colleen "Jihad Jane" [also, "Fatima"] LaRose's plot to kill the Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks for "blasphemously" drawing Muhammad as a dog.

Earlier reports indicated that all seven in Ireland tied to Jihad Jane were immigrants. Indeed, they are. But one of them is American.

Her name is Jamie Ramirez and she's married to an Algerian.

Here are the names of the seven arrested in Ireland:

1. Sharif Damache (Algerian) and his wife Jamie Ramirez (American)

2. Ghamrassan Moulay-Slimane (Algerian) and his wife Iles Moulay-Slimane (Algerian)

3. Abd Al-Salam Mansur Al Jahani (Libyan) and his wife Nadah Sameh (Palestinian)

4. Danijel Orsos (Croatian)
You'll recall that one of the charges against "Fatima LaRose" was that she had plans to move to Sweden and there marry a "Southeast Asian" [Pakistan?] so that he could obtain residency more easily and there move the plot to kill Lars Vilks forward.

One wonders if Jamie Ramirez moved to Ireland for similar reasons? If, say, her mother was of Irish ancestry it would be fairly easy to establish residency or even citizenship in Ireland.

Any one know Jamie? Known online handles or aliases?

Taliban Commander "Singing like a canary"

Perhaps this explains why Hafiz Gul Bahadur and 13 others were just killed in Waziristan?

WaExam:

The Afghan Taliban's former second in command has been "singing like a male canary" since his capture last month, officials here told The Washington Examiner.

Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, who was arrested by Pakistani security agencies in Karachi, has become "a vital asset in gathering information on the Taliban and other extremist groups operating in the region," one Pakistani counterintelligence official said. [READ THE REST]

ABC: 'Net Posse Tracked 'Jihad Jane' for Three Years [UDATE -- UPI: Net spies tracked 'Jihad Jane' for years]

I know this may seem like navel gazing to a lot of you -- and to be honest at some level it is -- but besides quoting me extensively the article does point out the problem of internet jihad. I know the kind of MSM media coverage of the phenomenon is hit or miss and tied to breaking stories about eHadis being arrested, but as long as it is hit we need to remind people that these internet jihadis are threats.

Minor threats? Maybe most of the time, but still threats.

Also, that it sometimes is hard to tell the difference between those online users who are only minor threats and major threats. For instance, who would have thought that Nidal Hasan was capable of the Fort Hood massacre? This is why all online followers of jihad need to be taken seriously.

ABC News:

While the rest of America was stunned to hear that a suburban Pennsylvania woman allegedly used the Internet identity of Jihad Jane and tried to join militant jihadists, for a group of 'Net vigilantes it was old news...

Groups like JawaReport, Quoth the Raven and the YouTube Smackdown Corps claim they had been monitoring LaRose's growing militancy for three years, and watched as the Internet -- particularly YouTube -- fed her fervor....

"There are certainly many others out there who are more eloquent and appear to be more dangerous from the way they talk," a man calling himself Rusty Shackleford told ABC News...

Shackleford said his goal from the beginning was combating violent Islamist material and support on the Web.

[READ THE REST]

Much more in the story. Again, they use the unfortunate term "vigilante" to describe what we do, but other than that I have no complaints. In fact, what we do has nothing to do with "vigilantism" at all. Aaron wrote something about this a few months back (sorry, can't find the link) in which he reminded people that there is nothing illegal about contacting network administrators and using open source material to tie cyber jihadis to the meat world. In fact, some might just say we're being good citizens.

PS to Jarret Brachman -- the term "eHadi" kicks "jihobbyist" butt, any day!

Update by Howie: My duties here include adding links that Rusty can't find.

Internet Haganah.

For any action to be characterized as "vigilantism" two conditions must be met:

1. The act must be unlawful.

2. The actor must not be a government agent.

Tales of daring-do and complaints of cyber vigilantism should both be viewed with a good deal of scepticism. Much of what is called vigilantism is perfectly lawful, and many of the actors - regardless of the methods they use - are associated with this or that government.

There.....

UPDATE by Rusty: UPI now running with the story, too: Net spies tracked 'Jihad Jane' for years. Mostly just a rehash of the ABC story.

Thanks to Stable Hand.

Update by Howie: I'm like totally offended, after all the work to become Zionist Internet Spies. net spies is all we get?

The Cyber Jihad in English

The Counter Terrorism Blog:

Perhaps the most ironic aspect of all the media attention in the latest criminal allegations against "Jihad Jane" is that Colleen LaRose of Pennsylvania is only the latest example of this odd emerging trend in homegrown terrorism. Indeed, LaRose is hardly alone in this category, whether we speak of London resident Samina Malik, an active user on jihadi social networking forums who busied herself with transcribed Al-Qaida training manuals into English during spare time at her job working in secure areas of Heathrow Airport--or Canadian citizen Beverly Giesbrecht (a.k.a. Khadija Abdul Qahhar), who was taken hostage by the Taliban during rather suspicious travels through North Waziristan. Both men and women who were once written off as hapless wannabes and mere "jihobbyists" are unexpectedly rising to the occasion, in often quite desperate bids to prove their total commitment to the cause.

These individuals are, more frequently than not, English-speaking with only a cursory knowledge of Arabic or the Middle East. Their pedigree is less than elite, and they lack the traditional connections back to Al-Qaida's central leadership. Yet, even Al-Qaida's senior echelon now openly recognizes the critical value of these potential "lone wolf" operatives.

I would like to point out that these people can be quite effective spreading al-Qaeda's message in the stead of regular media outlets.

I see two major purposes in this. A. Yes they are looking for recruits and to spread their ideology. B. As a way to bypass and talk directly past the media. Often in messages directed at the public at large.

For instance Younus Abdullah Muhammad writes here on the Revolution Muslim website in response to a CNN story.

How does he Respond? By reprinting an official propaganda piece by al-Qaeda when he knows he's in the news. His goal in my opinion is not to "inform" but to assist al-Qaeda, for whom he has expressed his support many times, in getting the largest number of eyes on al-Qeada's message as possible.

He's basically reprinting the terms that al-Qaeda has demanded for our surrender.

If you fail to respond to all these conditions, then prepare for fight with the Islamic Nation. The Nation of Monotheism, that puts complete trust on Allah and fears none other than Him.

Jawa, Smackdown in New York Times

Hey, and they didn't even call us "internet vigilantes" this time. That's progress, I guess:

But Ms. LaRose’s militant leanings were not a surprise to everyone. A collection of anti-jihadi Internet activists have been following her postings at least since September 2008.

One forum where activists tracked her was My Pet Jawa, where volunteers research Web sites they believe are tied to Al Qaeda or other militant groups and pressure Internet service providers to stop hosting the sites. The founder of the site, who requested anonymity because he said he had received death threats over his work, said Ms. LaRose was unlike most of the militants he tracks.

She made little effort to hide her true identity, he said, and she seemed to be using the radical sites almost as a dating service. “It was like she was looking for a soul mate,” he said.

On one Web site, Ms. LaRose corresponded with a man between December 2007 and February 2008 about her loyalty to jihad and her desires to marry him as soon as she could travel to see him. On another, Ms. LaRose sought advice in December 2007 about how to bring an Egyptian boyfriend, with whom she had been corresponding for more than a year, to the United States for the holidays.

Another Web group, YouTube Smackdown Corps, said it had also been tracking Ms. LaRose and complaining to the authorities about her YouTube postings for two years.

Of the 27 or so YouTube videos Ms. LaRose posted, most were training videos or violent scenes that she had lifted from jihadi Web sites. On Wednesday, all of Ms. LaRose’s videos had been removed by YouTube.

27 videos? Let me correct that. I think the reporter misunderstood. Colleen had at least 27 known YouTube accounts, each of them with many videos on them, and all of them shut down because of the work of the Smackdown Corps.

Actual conversation with New York Times reporter:

Reporter: So, why won't you be more specific on the name of the forum that Jihad Jane used to hang out on?

Jawa: No offense dude, but you're with The New York Times, an organization who's sense of discretion I don't have a lot of faith in.

You guys know how to keep a national security secret about as well as a D.C. hooker on China's payroll.

Okay, I may have made up that last part.

UPDATE(Matt Damon) I want to touch on something written in the Times piece Rusty mentions....they called US volunteers.

One forum where activists tracked her was My Pet Jawa, where volunteers research Web sites they believe are tied to Al Qaeda or other militant groups and pressure Internet service providers to stop hosting the sites. The founder of the site, who requested anonymity because he said he had received death threats over his work, said Ms. LaRose was unlike most of the militants he tracks
I and everyone on Jawa were drafted for this fight on the morning of Sept 11 2001.....when they attacked us that morning...... they wanted a fight that morning.... we gave it back to them in spades and then some..... we will do our part in hunting down everyone of the bastards .

Colleen LaRose (Jihad Jane): I Can Haz Sekrit Spy Google?

Group-shows-terror-suspec-jihad jane.jpg

Time (pun intended) for MSM Patriot Act garbage.

TIIME

The Justice Department won't say whether provisions of the Patriot Act were used to investigate and charge Colleen LaRose. But the FBI and U.S. prosecutors who charged the 46-year-old woman from Pennsburg, Pa., on Tuesday with conspiring with terrorists and pledging to commit murder in the name of jihad could well have used the Patriot Act's fast access to her cell-phone records, hotel bills and rental-car contracts as they tracked her movements and contacts last year.

But even if the law's provisions weren't directly used against her, the arrest of the woman who allegedly used the moniker "Jihad Jane" is a boost for the Patriot Act,

So, what super sekrit did the group use to track Jihad Jane? Google.

Jihad Jane Hearts Anwar al-Awlaki

For the past two years I've been arguing that the spiritual focus of the English speaking eHadi world has moved from clerics such as Omar Bakri Mohammad to Anwar al-Awlaki. Following the links in one of our posts, Steve Emerson notes that Jihad Jane -- like most of her online friends (hi Abu Fatima!) -- was also a fan:

An Internet search, however, reveals that this same person is listed as a 'friend' on YouTube's Anwar Awlaki Lectures Channel. Awlaki is the American-born cleric now living in Yemen and considered a charismatic influence over jihadis. Awlaki was in communication with Nidal Malik Hasan before the Fort Hood massacre and is suspected of encouraging failed Christmas Day airline bomber Umar Abdulmutallab.
And just a note to Steve and to any one else that's interested. Colleen "Jihad Jane" LaRose had dozens of YouTube accounts.

Also, let me echo Howie's sentiment: I'm tired. Behind the scenes here I've been getting a ton of media requests. And that's time consuming, with little payoff. So, if you have a tip be sure and email us -- it'll save me some time and it helps.

Real American Taliban Shoot Man in The Face With BB Gun

Big Journalism:

Clearly, of course, this had to be a Christian right-wing, tea party, anti-government, bigoted homophobe from the South. Right?

Wrong.

The three men, Shafiq Hashemi, 21, Sayed Bassam, 21, and Mohammad Habibzada, 24, the driver, were arrested.

According to [police spokesman Officer Samson] Chan, they allegedly admitted to the crime.

“The suspects did make a confession, basically stating that they came to San Francisco to target gay people,” he said.

But don't expect the liberals to notice.

Note their reaction to Jihad Jane, obviously they are convinced she's a Mennonite.

Fritz (God Told Me To Hate Conservatives) says:

But yesterday the Department of Justice brought terrorism charges against a “petite” blond-haired, blue-eyed 46-year-old American woman.

She’s a teabagger, isn’t she?

Report: Top Taliban commander Hafiz Gul Bahadur among the 14+ dead in drone strike

Would be a huge kill if confirmed....it was his compound that was the target of yesterday's drone swarm attack.

Sify

At least 14 suspected Taliban insurgents, including top extremist commander, Hafiz Gul Bahadur, were reportedly killed in a couple of US drone attacks in North Waziristan.

Acccording to sources, in the first attack, an unmanned aircraft targeted a vehicle firing four missiles in Macha Madakhel at Dada Khel tehsil, killing six terrorists.

Another vehicle, which was on its way to help the victims of the first attack, was also targeted killing eight more militants, The Daily Times reports.

An intelligence official confirmed the missile hits, but failed to substantiate reports regarding the death of Bahadur

Reports are drones flew over the area for hours until nightfall.

For those not familiar with Bahadur Jamestown has his background.

Perhaps no one has greater stature or importance in the Pakistani Taliban leadership than Hafiz Gul Bahadur, supreme commander of the North Waziristani Taliban. A direct descendant of Mirza Ali Khan, a legendary Waziristani freedom fighter who fought against the British Indian government and later against the newly established Pakistani State, Bahadur is known for hosting foreign militants, mainly al-Qaeda and other Arab groups, as well as Maulana Jalaluddin Haqqani of the cross-border Haqqani network.

Hafiz Gul Bahadur is 48 years old and belongs to the Madda Khel clan of the Uthmanzai Wazir. He is a resident of Lwara, a region bordering Afghanistan and is reported to have received his religious education from a Deobandi madrassa (seminary) in Multan (The Post [Lahore], August 19). Bahadur subscribes to the Deobandi Islamic revivalist ideology and maintains a political affiliation with the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazal (JUI-F), a Deobandi political party. Bahadur fought in Afghanistan during the anti-Soviet jihad of the 1980s and again during Taliban rule.
Huge kill if confirmed.

American al Qaeda terrorist in Yemen kills guard in hospital shootout

It just never ends. A former nice boy from New Jersey, currently an al Qaeda terrorist, is in custody in Yemen. He was a) planning a terror attack b) apprehended and hospitalized last week and c) killed a hospital guard Sunday in an escape attempt. The Yemeni military earlier reported the shooter was a German citizen of Somali origin. Fox reported today that he has dual Yemeni-American citizenship.

NBC40: Federal sources have confirmed that a man from Buena is in custody in the Middle East, and they say he's believed to be an Al-Qaeda militant who's accused of going on a deadly rampage.

"We don't know nothing, we're trying to hear something," said Charles Mobley. Those were the only words he would share on camera about his son, 26 year-old Sharif Mobley. Federal sources have confirmed the 2002 Buena Regional High School graduate is currently in custody in the Middle East, suspected of being an Al-Qaeda militant.

"I remember him from high school," said Dawn Bass, "he was just outgoing, he wanted to be, like the center of attention. He was a nice kid."

Which is why those who knew him are shocked to learn that reports from the Middle East say Mobley was recently arrested with several others in Yemen, for allegedly plotting attack for Al-Qaeda. But that's not all, according to those reports, Mobley, who was apparently hospitalized in Yemen's capital for an unknown reason, allegedly killed a police guard and seriously wounded another over the weekend, in a failed attempt to escape. "It's shocking," said Bass, "I wouldn't expect anybody that I graduated with to do something
like that."

When are we going to stop being shocked? A British Airways employee charged yesterday with plotting a terror attack may also have Yemen links.

The Warrior Song – Lyrics
I’ve got the reach and the teeth of a killin’ machine,
with a need to bleed you when the light goes green
best believe, I’m in a zone to be, from my Yin to my Yang to my Yang Tze
put a grin on my chin when you come to me,
‘cuz I’ll win, I’m a one-of-a-kind and I’ll bring death
to the place you’re about to be: another river of blood runnin’ under my feet
forged in a fire lit long ago, stand next to me, you’ll never stand alone
I’m last to leave, but the first to go, Lord, make me dead before you make me old
I feed on the fear of the devil inside of the enemy faces in my sights:
aim with the hand, shoot with the mind, kill with a heart like arctic ice

I am a soldier and I’m marching on
I am a warrior and this is my song

I bask in the glow of the rising war, lay waste to the ground of an enemy shore
wade through the blood spilled on the floor, and if another one stands I’ll kill some more
bullet in the breach and a fire in me, like a cigarette thrown, to gasoline
if death don’t bring you fear, I swear, you’ll fear these marchin’ feet
Come to the nightmare, come to me, deep down in the dark where the devil be
in the maw with the jaws and the razor teeth,
where the brimstone burns and the angel weeps
call to the gods if I cross your path and my silhouette hangs like a body bag
hope is a moment now long past, the shadow of death is the one I cast.

I am a soldier and I’m marching on
I am a warrior and this is my song
my eyes are steel and my gaze is long
I am a warrior and this is my song

now I live lean and I mean to inflict the grief,
and the least of me is still out of your reach
the killing machine’s gonna do the deed,
until the river runs dry and my last breath leaves
chin in the air with a head held high,
I’ll stand in the path of the enemy line
feel no fear, know my pride:
for God and Country I’ll end your life

I am a soldier and I’m marching on
I am a warrior and this is my song
my eyes are steel and my gaze is long
I am a warrior and this is my song

A video I put together with IDF pictures, and a song in Hebrew called Hope by Subliminal.

The chorus translated is "Let's continue, our whole lives are ahead of us. It's not too late, tomorrow is a new day. The dream will die if we lose hope, so stretch forth a hand for love"


This is Sparta ! (Israel IDF) "Magniv"

God Bless the IDF

Jihad Jane = Martyrdom Fail

Damn, this bitch was so incompetent at jihad, she couldn't even martyr herself.

(CNN) -- Colleen LaRose, the Pennsylvania woman indicted for allegedly conspiring to support terrorists and kill a person in a foreign country, attempted to commit suicide in 2005, according to a police report filed at the time.

Somewhere in an Irish holding cell, seven jihadi wannabes are cursing the day they came into contact with this Islamotard.

Pakistan officials: Suspected US missiles kill 4

The strikes are picking up again..

AP

PARACHINAR, Pakistan — Pakistani officials say suspected U.S. drones have fired missiles at a house and nearby truck in the country's northwest near the Afghan border, killing at least four people.

Local government official Sabir Khan said Wednesday's attack occurred in the Mazer Meda Khel area of the North Waziristan tribal area. Mazer Meda Khel is located some 25 miles (40 kilometers) west of the main town of Miran Shah.

Two Pakistani intelligence officials confirmed the details of the attack. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.

The identities of those killed in the attack were not known.

Updates when we get them.

Update(Matt Damon):

Very interesting There was a follow on second strike that targeted two vehicles which were being used to remove bodies from the first strike.

They wanted someone badly enough...to hit the follow on group(making sure they go who they were after maybe?)

Updates when we get them....this one could prove to be interesting.

Update II(Matt Damon): This was a swarm attack by 5 Predators3 Arabs among deadHowever, tribal sources claimed the death toll to be more than 15 and said that a dozen others were critically wounded. Security officials said that in the first series of aerial strikes, at least three foreigners of Arab origin were among the killed and wounded.

Jihad Jane Connected to "Revolution Muslim" -- which supports her!

As long as CNN is reporting this we might as well pass it on the information previously known to us, Colleen "Jihad Jane" LaRose was an active participant on Yousef al-Khattab's Revolution Muslim website. Are any of you surprised in the least by this?

Today, the new proprietor of Revolution Muslim, Abdullah as-Sayf -- who, like Khattab, also lives in New York -- reprints a letter written by "sister Linda G. Richards" on Colleen.

Another Sister Targeted By The So-Called American Justice System

Asalaamu Alaikum, JazakAllahuKhair sister Linda G. Richards for bringing this to our attention. Sister Linda has written a short article providing information regarding the arrest of sister Colleen LaRose and the ways the women of our Ummah can assist and write sister Colleen insha'Allah ta'alaa.
ANOTHER SISTERS TARGETED

Today the DoJ announced the unsealing of an indictment against Colleen (Fatima) LaRose. In the press release the officials are praising their "partners in law enforcement and the intelligence community" for their cooperation. The evidence they are using against this sister was all obtained from the Internet - specifically a Youtube account as well as email messages. The federal officials are alleging that she used to Internet to "form a conspiracy to provide material support to terrorism," the end result of which would be to "kill" Lars Vilks - the cartoonist I'm sure many of you are familiar with.

The only thing that is clear is that Sister Fatima went to marry a brother in the EU. The press will no doubt blow this completely out of proportion, but as we know - this is their modus operandi when it comes to Muslim prisoners. It seems that a lot of reverts have been targeted, especially lately. They don't stop at brothers though - they will go after sisters as well. It seems that any sister thinking of making hijrah and getting married may be subject to suspicion.

The charges against Sister Fatima are: conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists, conspiracy to kill in a foreign country, making a false statement to a government official, and attempted identity theft. The indictment can be found here. The press release is here, so that no one need to visit the DoJ's site.

Again, the press is already sensationalizing this, so lets try and counter it. Sisters - please consider sending her a message of support and hope and lets remind her she isn't alone. It's likely she's the only Muslimah there. As always, use discretion when writing, don't ask pointed questions, and of course don't say anything that could create problems for her or yourselves.

If anyone is unable to send mail from their own addresses - I have a PO box set up for that purpose. I do not read your mail, I simply print it out and send it. If there are replies, I scan them into my computer and attach them to an email back to you. Feel free to email me at admin@freedetainees.org This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Jazak'Allah Khair
Your Sister

Please write to her at: [her address in the federal detention center follow.

Linda should learn to read. The indictment specifically says that she went to the EU to marry a guy so that he could get a visa so that he could kill Lars Vilks.

Yeah, keep it up morons at Revolution Muslim. Pretty soon you'll all be forced to flee the country like Yousef al-Khattab, or be in jail.

Good News: al-Qaeda Terrorist Who Bombed US Embassies In Africa Takes leadership of al-Shabaab

termohammedenhanced2.jpg
Terror Free Somalia:

Nairobi — The man who masterminded the 1998 terrorist attacks on US embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam is believed to have taken over the leadership of al-Shabaab in war-torn Somalia, Kenyan counter-terrorism officials say.Ahmed Al Fazul (below) took charge of the ragtag army after the dramatic killing of Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan, who previously led the group that has been a constant headache to Somalia's Transitional Federal Government and US anti-terror campaign. Fazul Abdullah, who is believed to be on the run after evading arrest. He is wanted over the bombing of Paradise Hotel in Kikambala in 2001.

Fazul is believed to have been hiding in East Africa and reportedly escaped a police dragnet at the Kenyan coast in August 2008 and sneaked into Somalia.

Youtuber "Jihad Jane" Indicted on Federal Terrorism Charges (Updated with more MC Hammer! UPDATE/Bumped: Loved Obama; UPDATE: Plot to Kill Swedish Mohammad Cartoonist!)

Bumped again scroll down for newer posts

UPDATED/Bumped: Scroll down for updates --- Critical update: I've just recieved word that the person Colleen was trying to kill was Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks, who had received a death fatwa from al Qaeda last year along with an offer of a bounty for any one who would behead him. Seven immigrants in Ireland were arrested today in the same plot!

Note to media (too many inquiries to respond to all, sorry): Feel free to use images but please credit "The Jawa Report" or "YouTube Smackdown" and DO NOT HOTLINK! And would it hurt if you named the source for connecting "Jihad Jane" with the Lars Vilks murder plot? Also, you guys don't know how to link?

Images are at the end of this post. I've also added a screenshot of Colleen LaRose trying to raise funds for terrorists at one of her now defunct YouTube accounts. If you have any other information on the case, please feel free to email or drop a comment.

The takeaway from this? I have three. One, that the online supporters of jihad often become actual terrorists. Two, that some of these would-be terrorists and terrorist supporters are right here in America, maybe next door. Many more than you would like to think. Three, that many terror supporters are not immigrants or their children, but "reverts" to Islam. The problem isn't necessarily one of failure to assimilate, it is one of Islam's core doctrines -- such as "ummah" and "jihad". Perhaps not an insurmountable problem, but a serious problem nonetheless.

Freaking awesome! DOJ:

WASHINGTON – David Kris, Assistant Attorney General for National Security, and Michael L. Levy, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, together with Janice K. Fedarcyk, Special Agent-in-Charge of the FBI in Philadelphia, today announced the unsealing of an indictment charging Colleen R. LaRose, aka “Fatima LaRose,” aka “JihadJane,” with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists, conspiracy to kill in a foreign country, making false statements to a government official and attempted identity theft.

The indictment charges that LaRose (an American citizen born in 1963 who resides in Montgomery County, Pa.) and five unindicted co-conspirators (located in South Asia, Eastern Europe, Western Europe and the United States) recruited men on the Internet to wage violent jihad in South Asia and Europe, and recruited women on the Internet who had passports and the ability to travel to and around Europe in support of violent jihad.

The indictment further charges that LaRose and her unindicted co-conspirators used the Internet to establish relationships with one another and to communicate regarding their plans, which included martyring themselves, soliciting funds for terrorists, soliciting passports and avoiding travel restrictions (through the collection of passports and through marriage) in order to wage violent jihad. The indictment further charges that LaRose stole another individual’s U.S. passport and transferred or attempted to transfer it in an effort to facilitate an act of international terrorism.

In addition, according to the indictment, LaRose received a direct order to kill a citizen and resident of Sweden, and to do so in a way that would frighten "the whole Kufar [non-believer] world." The indictment further charges that LaRose agreed to carry out her murder assignment, and that she and her co-conspirators discussed that her appearance and American citizenship would help her blend in while carrying out her plans. According to the indictment, LaRose traveled to Europe and tracked the intended target online in an effort to complete her task.

"Today’s indictment, which alleges that a woman from suburban America agreed to carry out murder overseas and to provide material support to terrorists, underscores the evolving nature of the threat we face," said David Kris, Assistant Attorney General for the National Security Division. "I applaud the many agents, analysts and prosecutors who worked on this important investigation."

"This case shows the use terrorists can and do make of the Internet," said U.S. Attorney Michael L. Levy. "Colleen LaRose and five other individuals scattered across the globe are alleged to have used the Internet to form a conspiracy to provide material support to terrorism, culminating in a direct order to LaRose to commit murder overseas. LaRose – an American citizen whose appearance was considered to be an asset because it allowed her to blend in – is charged with using the Internet to recruit violent jihadist fighters and supporters, and to solicit passports and funding. It demonstrates yet another very real danger lurking on the Internet. This case also demonstrates that terrorists are looking for Americans to join them in their cause, and it shatters any lingering thought that we can spot a terrorist based on appearance."

"This case demonstrates that the FBI and our partners in the law enforcement and intelligence communities must continue to remain vigilant in the face of the threats that America faces, in whatever form those threats may present themselves or no matter how creative those who threaten us try to be," said Special Agent-in-Charge Janice K. Fedarcyk of the Philadelphia Division of the FBI. "We must use all available technologies and techniques to root out potential threats and stop those who intend to harm us."

If convicted of the charges against her, LaRose faces a potential sentence of life in prison and a $1 million fine.

This case was investigated by the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force. It is being prosecuted by Jennifer Arbittier Williams, Assistant U.S. Attorney from the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and Matthew F. Blue, Trial Attorney from the Counterterrorism Section in the Justice Department’s National Security Division.

The public is reminded that an indictment is an accusation and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Here's a copy of the indictment.

UPDATE by Rusty: Wow, this is good news. You may remember that we've had a long, er, "relationship" with Jihad Jane. To be honest, Colleen seemed more of a loser and a nut than someone who would actually be involved in worldwide jihad. But I suppose that since I am constantly reminding people that "nut" and "jihadi" are not mutually exclusive terms that perhaps I should have heeded my own cautionary warnings?

Howie used to have fun here behind the scenes digging up old pictures of her wearing slutty outfits (not good, trust me) and boozing it up with her red neck buddies (before she took the veil). [You still have that pic Howie? Update: See pics below]

Anyway, good riddance Colleen. Watch out for the corn hole. I hear that Colleen is the first American woman since 9/11 to be indicted on terrorism related charges. Can any one verify that? [UPDATE: This is hitting the MSM now. This Fox News report says Colleen is the only American woman other than terror lawyer Lynn Stewart to be charged in the GWOT. And Stewart's crimes were nowhere near as bad as Celleen's. Thanks to he-who-may-be-testifying-at-Colleen's-trial-and-therefore-will-remain-nameless-here.]

And congrats to the Zionist Intertube Spies who detected Colleen's scheme to raise money for terrorist groups through her twitter account. You know who I'm talking about.

UPDATE: Maggie says that Jihad Jane was working with members of the Somali Shabaab, which would make sense given a) her known connection with a certain forum (which I won't mention by name) used by Shabaab b) the Sweden connection (Shabaab used to run their official website out of Sweden and there is a very large and very radical Somali expat community there).

It's time to break out Hammer!

UPDATE: Ok, so I'm reading the indictment. There is a lot going on here. In addition to her calls for violent jihad on YouTube and her raising of money for terrorism at her Twitter account, she apparently met someone online who claimed to be connected to terror in some way. He then asked her move to Europe and then to marry him as a way for him to get residency in Sweden (lucky him!). [Update: This would be him: "Wahab Ali". Notice that he has two albums devoted to her and an announcement on his homepage "About Me" section that they are going to be married. Her Hi5 account is gone, but her comments to him are still at his page]

Another interesting thing is this:

On or about August 21, 2009, defendant COLLEEN R. LAROSE, a/k/a “Fatima LaRose,” a/k/a “JihadJane,” sent an electronic communication to CC #1 stating, “i will be away from here in a couple days . . . . Then . . . , I will get to work on importan[]t matters.”

24. On or about August 23, 2009, defendant COLLEEN R. LAROSE, a/k/a
“Fatima LaRose,” a/k/a “JihadJane,” traveled to Europe with the intent to live and train with jihadists, and to find and kill RS #1

Note that this was the same week that Howie posted that Jihad Jane had announced her retirement from YouTube. She had graduated from eHadi to terrorist in training.

UPDATE: More from the indictment. She claimed she was going to kill someone:

31. On or about September 30, 2009, defendant COLLEEN R. LAROSE, a/k/a “Fatima LaRose,” a/k/a “JihadJane,” sent an electronic communication to CC #3, stating that LAROSE considers it “an honour & great pleasure to die or kill for” CC #3, and pledging that “only death will stop me here that i am so close to the target!”
UPDATE: Three things of note in this update. First, Gerald reminds me that Colleen also went by a number of aliases, including "Colleen Cavazos and Colleen R Cavazos". He also reminds me that one of her online boyfriends once dumped her publicly. Yeah, I was sooo saddened by that.

Also, Howie grabbed this screenshot of her old YouTube page in which she praises Obama back in May 2008, before the election. Back then, a lot of the tamer online jihadis had great things to say about the One. Now? Not so much.

jihad_jane_hearts_obama.jpg

UPDATE 17:30: Here is her DailyMotion account which, unlike her YouTube accounts, are still up (do we need to start a DailMotion Smackdown Corps?). Notice the videos she's favorited and in her playlist. All jihad related.

And I notice she has an account over at Islamic Tube as well.

And her MySpace account. Thank Allah for the burqa! (and thanks to celebrimbor for the tip).

End of story UPDATE (Sticky at bottom of post): Howie kept the photos of Jihad Jane that we've been mocking for years in our private back room run by the Pentavarite and known only as "The Sandcrawler". Personally, I think Howie had the hots for her. He's into that "type" of chick.

I'm putting the photos below the fold.

Jihad Jane at the beach.

Jihad Jane at the docks (Boston?)(Update: Maybe Philly?) UPDATE: "it is I, from the Netherlands" identifies this as Amsterdam. I think he's right. Another photo clearly shows her at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

jihad_jane_at_docks.jpg

And last Jihad Jane finally giving us a good reason to support the veil -- to cover up the skankiness!

jihad_jane_veil.JPG

Update: Some more photos from Andrea. If you look carefully in the background you'll see she's in front of a museum. Am I wrong, or does the spelling look Scandinavian?

UPDATE: Nope, that's the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam -- thanks to "it is I, from the Netherlands").

jihad_jane_scandi_museum.jpg

And here's a pic of her leathered out on a motorcycle. I think this one kind of illustrates just how un-jihadi she could appear if she wanted to. The indictment clearly indicates that the fact that she was white and could blend in was an asset to the plot.

jihad_jane_motorcycle.jpg

UPDATE: Here's a screenshot taken by Andrea of Jihad Jane's "MSWIIDKAT" (fitting) YouTube account showing her asking for money for terrorists in Pakistan. It's mentioned in the indictment.

jihad_jane_fundraising_youTube.gif

And here's one from Dan Riehl running in the MSM and which looks like the mugshot but which I call "dude looks like a lady".

mullet_jihad_jane.jpg

And my favorite image from her MySpace page? No, not the one of her cat which is apparently called "Mr. Klaus van Gorman". Not even the various pics of herself all burkad up. Nor the various free Palestine, Hamas, or even al Qaeda in Chechnya. No, this takes the cake and kind of tells the whole story.

Jihad Jane on Jihadtube the Complete Listing

Star has up a complete listing of all the times Colleen LaRose was PWNED on youtube.

That’s a heck of a lot of YouTube accounts – and these are only the ones we know about.

Yet another instance where YouTube is the clearinghouse for all sorts of terrorist contact, recruitment and even fund-raising. How far will the next Colleen LaRose have to go before YouTube takes this seriously?

Just the sheer number of accounts shows her determination to spread terrorist propaganda online.

More Jihad Jane Tracks on the Internet

Verum Serum:

did a little digging of my own and discovered a radical Islamic web forum that “Fatima LaRose” posted extensively on last year in the months leading up to her arrest. In fact, given that this web site seems to have been only very recently taken offline..

...You can find a complete listing of LaRose’s postings on this site using the available Google cache links from this search. But here are the most notable comments that I was able to find (and for those that track this sort of thing, grab screen shots while you can):

This shows the kind of thing she was regularly saying online. As to the beheading and torture of Muslims and Kufr in terrorist videos she says
“there are many sisters that i admire that have strong Imaan & & also have no pity/mercy for the kafir animals…Really the 1st time i saw a video like this was off a kafir site. They call it barbaric when someone gets beheaded…I think that it is too humane for the enemies of Islam….they suffer very little & it’s over for them…..Inshallh they are then fuel for the fire”
Nice lady huh?

President confirms Bali bombing mastermind Dulmatin dead

Great job by the Indeonesians.....they got one of the worlds most dangerous killers.

News

INDEONESIAN President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has confirmed that Dulmatin, a mastermind of the Bali bombings, has been killed in a police raid near Jakarta.
APhas more details on the raid that lead to the death of Dulmatin and his two bodyguards.
Indonesian counterterror authorities won international praise on Wednesday for killing a top-ranked Southeast Asian militant wanted for planning the deadly 2002 Bali bombings.

Police also revealed that bomb-making materials were found in one of two raids near Jakarta on Tuesday that killed fugitive Dulmatin and his two bodyguards.

Indonesia's Police Chief Gen. Bambang Hendarso Danuri told reporters Wednesday that the bomb was not being prepared for President Barak Obama's visit to Jakarta this month, but declined to elaborate on a potential target.

Dulmatin, a 39-year-old Indonesian trained by al-Qaida in Afghanistan who used one name, was wanted for the suicide bombings that tore through two Bali nightclubs popular with Westerners, killing 202 people in Indonesia's deadliest terrorist attack. He was also blamed for the 2004 truck bombing of the Australian Embassy in Jakarta that killed 11.

Predator Strike Goes After Haqqani Network (Again)

Via Bill Roggio:

The US carried out its first airstrike in 12 days in Pakistan's Taliban-controlled tribal agency of North Waziristan. Five terrorists were killed in a strike that targeted the al Qaeda-linked Haqqani Network at a bazaar in the main town of Miramshah.

Two unmanned US strike aircraft, the Predators or Reapers operating from secret bases in Pakistan and Afghanistan, fired three missiles at two compounds in a bazaar in Miramshah, according to reports at Geo News and Dawn.

The extermination of terrorist scum is always a good thing, but we hope this is the big fish. As some of you may recall, we Jawas, along with Jawa friend author Brad Thor, are extremely eager to hear of the demise of Haqqani rape porn murdering peddler Siraj.

Apostate Hirsi Ali Gives Her Side At University of Wisconsin

hirsi ali.jpg
What amazed me the most about this is only six people in the audience knew about the honor killing case in Texas, twins Amina and Sarah Said.

People need to pull their heads of of their you-know-whats.

Via Badger Herald

The highly anticipated and controversial speaker of the University of Wisconsin’s Distinguished Lecture series, Hirsi Ali, is a Muslim woman who fled her home country of Somalia and devoted her life to speaking against Islamic doctrine and what she calls the “sanctioned abuse of women.”

University of Wisconsin Muslim Student Association President Rashid Dar had previously said MSA was not in support of bringing Hirsi Ali to campus because of her openly anti-Islamic agenda.

“If she would have her way, everyone will leave the theater thinking Islam is evil,” Dar said.

About 1,300 UW students, faculty and community members were ushered through metal detectors and past armed police as they entered the Memorial Union Theatre Tuesday night, a process which delayed the event more than an hour[...]

She began her story by telling how she ran from an Islamic traditional arranged marriage, finding refuge in an academic community in Holland where she published papers openly critical of Islam and the Islamic community, specifically regarding the oppressive and abusive treatment of women.

“Because of my work there, my life was threatened and continues to be threatened,” Hirsi Ali said.

In November 2004, the controversial nature of her messages came to a front when the Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh, who was working on a film with Hirsi Ali criticizing the treatment of women in Islam, was murdered in the streets of Holland.[More..]

Depend On Ocean/Inland Fishing For A Living/Tourism? Sorry Sez Obama NOAA & WWF & IFAW

Your input is no longer accepted, love Obi One


The Obama administration will accept no more public input for a federal strategy that could prohibit U.S. citizens from fishing the nation's oceans, coastal areas, Great Lakes, and even inland waters.

This announcement comes at the time when the situation supposedly still is "fluid" and the Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force still hasn't issued its final report on zoning uses of these waters.

That's a disappointment, but not really a surprise for fishing industry insiders who have negotiated for months with officials at the Council on Environmental Quality and bureaucrats on the task force. These angling advocates have come to suspect that public input into the process was a charade from the beginning.

"When the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) completed their successful campaign to convince the Ontario government to end one of the best scientifically managed big game hunts in North America (spring bear), the results of their agenda had severe economic impacts on small family businesses and the tourism economy of communities across northern and central Ontario," said Phil Morlock, director of environmental affairs for Shimano.

"Now we see NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and the administration planning the future of recreational fishing access in America based on a similar agenda of these same groups and other Big Green anti-use organizations, through an Executive Order by the President. The current U.S. direction with fishing is a direct parallel to what happened in Canada with hunting: The negative economic impacts on hard working American families and small businesses are being ignored.

Ya, that will really help save/create jobs by destroying them.

Seven Arrested In Ireland For Plotting To Murder Lars Vilks

UPDATE: An American was involved in the plot to kill Lars Vilks -- Colleen "Jihad Jane" LaRose!

CNN:

(CNN) -- Irish police arrested seven people Tuesday suspected of plotting to commit a murder abroad, they announced.

Irish media reports said the target was Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks, who drew a cartoon of the Muslim prophet Mohammed with the body of a dog in 2007, prompting al Qaeda to offer $100,000 to anyone who killed him -- plus an extra $50,000 if the killer slits his throat. The Irish press reports cited unnamed police sources.

Ireland's national broadcaster RTE said the suspects are originally from Morocco and Yemen, but are all living legally as refugees in Ireland.

Vilks said his drawing was a calculated move, and he wanted it to elicit a reaction.

"That's a way of expressing things. If you don't like it, don't look at it. And if you look at it, don't take it too seriously. No harm done, really," he said.

When it's suggested that might prove an arrogant -- if not insulting -- way to engage Muslims, he is unrelenting, even defiant.

"No one actually loves the truth, but someone has to say it," he says.

Here is the offending image.

Ministry of Irony: Palin's Parents Paid for Canadian Healthcare

Why? Because health care in Yukon was free market in the 60s.

Politico:

CORRECTION: Whitehorse is in Yukon, not Saskatchewan, and Palin, as a young child, lived closer to Itthan earlier reported.

UPDATE: Here's some more context: "My first five years of life we spent in Skagway, Alaska, right there by Whitehorse. Believe it or not - this was in the '60s - we used to hustle on over the border for health care that we would receive in Whitehorse. I remember my brother, he burned his ankle in some little kid accident thing and my parents had to put him on a train and rush him over to Whitehorse and I think, isn't that kind of ironic now. Zooming over the border, getting health care from Canada."

ALSO: Socialized medicine apparently only kicked in in Yukon in 1972, post-Palin.

Kudo's to Ben for running his correction, I wonder how many others who picked this up yesterday will do the same?

Yes Kos kidz we're looking at you.

Think Progress? Nope. TPM? Nope. Alan Colmes? Nope. Huffpo? Nope. LGF? Nope.

Will they in the "reality based community" let this lie just go on uncorrected?

You betcha!

In fact I can't find a single liberal blogger or site that has corrected this story other than Politico. If you find one, let the Jawas know and we'll add them.

I'm not holding my breath.

Bonus video via Bondwooley.

Update: Jawa reader and Canadian citizen Garduneh Mehr points out..

Healthcare is not free in Canada; we pay for it with our taxes. And Sarah Palin's family, not being citizens, would have had to pay full fee.
Of course this whole issue stems from Newfoundland premier opting for his heart surgery in the US.

Updated for clarity:

1972

Yukon creates medical insurance plans with federal cost sharing, April 1.

At least that's from Canada's official record of their history. But I'm sure Chuck knows more about Canadians than they do about themselves.

More here:

Palin's father said his family probably boarded the train for the Whitehorse hospital only twice — once when a daughter had rheumatic fever, and once when his son, also named Chuck, severely burned his leg and an infection set in.
They add that Palin must be "fibbing"
So this does suggest that either her brother had two accidents, or Sarah Palin was fibbing to the Skagway News a few years ago.)
Or possibly the severe burn with infection required more than one visit to a doctor.


In The Age Of Obama, Even Chickens Are Being Laid Off

So.......................... eggs from an actual chicken aren't "eco-friendly?"

Yolk - Biodegradable

By the way, how much does it cost to produce an "eco-friendly" egg versus just paying the pittance for an actual chicken?

Really? Is this what our pathetic government has become?

Malika El Aroud Trial Begins

Just a reminder of who Malika El Aroud is and why we care about her trial. Ms. el Aroud was the widow of one of the men who murdered the leader of The Northern Alliance the day before 9/11.

More importantly, she ran the Minbar SOS Islamic forum which directly linked al Qaeda to potential recruits, especially among the French speaking jihad eHadi crowd.

The worst part? She was already convicted once in Switzerland for distributing al Qaeda propaganda over the internet. They overlooked her extensive ties to al Qaeda. Then they let her out. The she started recruiting for al Qaeda again. And planning a major attack against the EU.

Are we seeing a pattern here? Oh, that's really her in the picture.

Her trial started today:

Nine alleged members of an Al Qaeda terror cell, suspected of having recruited jihadists and prepared attacks, go on trial in Brussels Monday....

The central figure in the trial is 50-year-old Belgian-Moroccan Malika El Aroud. Aroud, who is being held under high security, is the widow of one of the killers of Ahmed Shah Massoud, head of the anti-Taliban Northern Alliance in Afghanistan.

According to the Belgian federal prosecutor Aroud, an admirer of Osama bin Laden, led the recruitment of jihad fighters in Belgium, sending young Muslims off to train on the Afghan-Pakistan border. They were sometimes escorted by her second husband, Moez Garsalloui, who is one of those being tried in absentia. According to the prosecutor, he had ties with "important" Al Qaeda figures.

Belgium is a NATO member, therefore her recruitment of Muslims to fight against NATO troops in Afghanistan is an act of treason. For that, she should get the death penalty. Instead, she might be looking at 10 years, max. And for that France, Jr. should be ashamed.

She also helped recruit an American, Bryan Neil Vinas, to join al Qaeda in Pakistan. Vinas even participated in at least one attack against a US base in Afghanistan. Vinas is currently serving time in a federal pen.

One only can hope that Aroud will be found guilty and then sent to jail where she'll room with a 300 lb. bull dyke. Who after a few months of having her way with el Aroud will do us all the enormous favor of introducing her to a shiv.

NY Times Correspondent Accuses Israelis Of Anti-Obama 'Racism' And 'Prejudice'

Via Newsbusters

Are Israeli Jews much more bigoted than their American co-religionists? An astounding 77% of American Jews voted for Barack Obama. But according to Ethan Bronner [with a little "help" from Chris Matthews], anti-black "racism" and anti-Arab "prejudice" are significant factors accounting for PBO's unpopularity in Israel.

California Man Took College Exams for Middle Eastern Students, ICE Officials Say

No biggy, several are persons of interest

Daniel Higgins doesn't look like a Middle Eastern student, but officials say he routinely portrayed himself as one for almost a decade, getting paid up to $1,500 per student to attend their classes and take exams so they could keep their visas current and remain in the U.S.[...]

Six others -- Mohammed Alnuaim, Abdullah Alhogail, Khalid Almenaibi, Saeed Alfalahi, Ibrahim Almansoori and Mohamed Almehairi -- were also arrested Monday and appeared with Higgins before a U.S. magistrate. All were charged with immigration fraud.[...]

Sources said they do not know if any of the men are considered national security threats, but several are "persons of interest."

At one point, officials said, Higgins got so busy he hired other American students to pose as foreigners and take their tests. They allegedly obtained fake California drivers' licenses using their own photos, but using the Arab students' names.

The Middle Eastern students were all male. The students Higgins is accused of hiring to take their tests were all white Americans -- including, in one case, a 21-year-old blond coed

Report: Hundreds of Christians Massacred in Nigeria

Truly disgusting. This NYT blog has the story lede as "Violence Is Not Religiously Motivated, Nigerian Archbishop Says" but with absolutely no evidence that this is the case. In fact, all the evidence points exactly to religiously motivated jihad.

What else do you call hundreds of men, women, and children butchered to death by people shouting "Allahu akbar!"??

And what video does the NYTimes embed? Al Jazeera.

Of course there are underlying economic and political motivations to this kind of ethnic cleansing. But there are also religious motives. Because for many Muslims Islam is not simply a "religion" in the Western sense of the word. It is also an economic and political system.

It's more than disingenuous to claim that these kind of Muslim vs. Christian massacres are not religiously motivated: it's propaganda.

But what did you expect from the New York Times?

From The Last Crusade:

Unconfirmed reports indicated that 500 people were killed in the attack at Dongon Nahowa.

Authorities say the invaders were Fulani herdsmen, who seek to establish Nigeria as an Islamic republic ruled by Islamic law....

Reports from the village said the 2-hour attack Sunday caught the villagers unaware. Several villagers who escaped said the invaders used guns, swords and knives to cut down their victims, including children. Some victims were beheaded and burned, reports said.

Charisma:
Bishop Andersen Bok, national coordinator of the Plateau State Elders Christian Fellowship, along with group Secretary General Musa Pam, described the attack as yet another "jihad and provocation on Christians."

"Dogo Nahawa is a Christian community," the Christian leaders said in a statement. "Eyewitnesses say the Hausa Fulani Muslim militants were chanting ‘Allah Akbar,' broke into houses, cutting human beings, including children and women with their knives and cutlasses."

For the sake of honest discussion, there have been several similar massacres of Muslims by Christians in the same region over the past few years. But nothing on this scale. Not like this.

Afghanistan: UK 3 Rifles Soldier Tackles Hand Grenade

UK_McKie.jpg


Helmand Blog

A soldier of 3 RIFLES [Rifleman James McKie from Recce Platoon, 3rd Battalion The Rifles] has been talking about his decision to pick up a live Taleban hand grenade and throw it back in an attempt to save himself and his comrades.[...]

“My first thought was I hope this doesn’t hurt too much” he said. “That, and I’ve really only got one chance to do this. If it fails, either way, doing nothing, I’m going to get the same amount of hurt. So I picked it up and threw it off the roof”.

The actions of Rifleman McKie helped to save the lives of his Commander and one other soldier who were engaging the enemy in a fire fight, from a compound roof, in the Sangin area of Helmand Province.[...]

“In retrospect, people keep telling me how brave I am, which I’m slightly embarrassed about. I’d like to think that anyone in that situation would have done the same or something similar because you can’t just sit there and let yourself or other people get hurt. I don’t feel particularly brave. I thought: I have to do this to survive. Not just for myself but for the guys around me as well. I’m not expecting anything from them, I don’t want any thanks from them, I just don’t want them to get hurt.

Band of Brothers

Hats off to Rifleman McKie for his bravery! God Bless you sir.

Gaffney Challenges Grover Norquist on National Security

Here is a letter that was forwarded to me by Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy to Grover Norquist of the Americans for Tax Reform. The gauntlet has been thrown. Update: I'm putting it below the fold, but it's worth the read.

8 March 2010

Mr. Grover Norquist
President
Americans for Tax Reform
722 12th Street, NW Suite 400
Washington, D.C. 20005

Dear Grover:

For some time, you have been promoting a number of national security-related policy positions and initiatives as the appropriate ones for conservatives and Republicans to adopt. These have included:

· Your strenuous opposition to the enactment and subsequent reenactment of the Patriot Act;
· Your support for President Obama’s decision to close Guantanamo Bay;
· Your support for his administration’s bid to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in civilian court in New York City;
· Your support for transferring detainees from Guantanamo Bay to a prison in Thomson, Illinois.
· Your advocacy of what amount to open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens;
· And your outreach to individuals and organizations associated with the Muslim Brotherhood in the name of GOP “inclusiveness.”

You have claimed that those who disagreed with you on these recommendations were “scaremongering,” “racists” and “bigots.”

It has been troubling to me that your policy preferences and efforts to advance them may have contributed to a serious diminution of the amount and quality of attention given to these and related subjects in the Conservative Action Project’s Mount Vernon Statement, the Conservative Political Action Conference’s program and the choices available to respondents as part of the development of the Contract From America.

It was, therefore, heartening to me to learn of the enthusiasm you have expressed together with The Nation’s Katrina vanden Heuvel for the idea of debate as a means whereby arguments can be “tested and honed.” Rarely has it been more necessary than now, in the run-up to a potentially pivotal national election, to have a rigorous evaluation of the sorts of ideas you espouse and promote with respect to our national security and their suitability for American conservatives and Republicans.

Accordingly, I formally challenge you to a public debate about those arguments in a mutually agreeable forum. I believe this should take place at the earliest possible moment, given the importance of sorting out whether your policy recommendations should be adopted or rejected by the Republican Party and/or the conservative movement.

Knowing of your commitment to public debate, I hope you will promptly accept this invitation.

Frank J. Gaffney, Jr.
President & CEO

I'm with Gaffney on this, except maybe closing Guantanamo Bay. On that I'm neutral. It doesn't matter to me if we close it or not, as long as we treat those captured in Afghanistan or Pakistan as enemy combatants. If closing Gitmo will score us a few diplomacy points, so be it. Other than that I don't see the value of keeping it open or closing it. It's just a place. Where detainees are kept doesn't matter.

But I can't believe any rational person would want to end the Patriot Act. That, like closing Gitmo, is more about symbolism over substance. I often get students pissed off about the Patriot Act. When challenged to specify what in it they find distasteful or anti-libertarian they can never -- and I mean never -- name a single thing in it correctly which takes away some fundamental liberty.

They hate the idea of the Patriot Act just like they hate the idea of Guantanamo Bay because both are symbols of a war with Islamist aggression that they believe should not be fought. Or they hate the idea of a police state and erroneously believe that we have one because, gosh, 9/11 was a false flag operation wasn't it and aren't Arabs routinely rounded up and kept in a secret concentration camp somewhere?

Massa: 'They Will Stop at Nothing'

Corning, NY Dem Eric Massa claims that top Democrat operatives are behind the ethics charges that forced him to announce his resignation. Massa says that he was targeted because he is a "no" vote on healthcare reform.

From MSNBC:

A New York lawmaker set to resign from Congress Monday accused Democratic leaders of using an investigation into a sexual harassment complaint to force him to step down before the House holds a close vote on health care legislation that Massa has opposed.

“Now they’ve gotten rid of me and it will pass,” said Rep. Eric Massa, one of 39 Democrats who voted against an earlier version of the bill last year.

Biggest Let Down Evah: Traitor Adam Gadahn NOT Arrested in Pakistan (Updated: Who is Abu Yahya Majadin al-Adam?)

In the history of all the sad news we've had to report here over the years, this may be the saddest. For me, it's personal.

I have an emotional investment in seeing Adam Gadahn killed or captured. So, when I heard the news that he had been captured, I was elated. And now the news that the American captured in Pakistan is not Gadahn? Major let down.

Is there an anti-cowbell? An anti-MCHammer? If there is, let me know so I can put that image up. For now, Helen Thomas will have to do.

One also wonders if the timing of the release of Gadahn's latest propaganda piece for al Qaeda is related to the news of the arrest? It's been awhile since we last saw Gadahn -- a recent video featured his voice as a dub over for the suicide bomber that killed several CIA agents in Afghanistan, but just his voice -- and the timing just seems rather prescient. Or maybe it's just a coincidence?


Voice of America
:

Pakistani intelligence agents say they have captured an American al-Qaida operative, but they have reversed their initial assertion that he is Adam Gadahn, who is wanted in the United States on a treason charge.

Pakistani officials said Monday the man they arrested recently in the southern port city of Karachi appears to be another American with the alias Abu Yahya Majadin al-Adam.

They said the similarity of the name with those sometimes used by Adam Gadahn initially caused some confusion.

So, who is this Abu Yahya Majadin al-Adam? The only thing we know is that he's originally from Pennsylvania and that he, like Gadahn, is suspected of being part of the al Qaeda leadership. If any one knows anything about this American traitor in Pakistan, please email me or drop the info in the comments.

This begs the question: just how many Americans belong to al Qaeda central?

UPDATE: Or maybe he's not from Pennsylvania at all, other reports indicate that he's a dual citizen of Egypt. Which I guess could mean that he's of Egyptian heritage but born in Pennsylvania, but do Pakistanis really think that Arabs and Europeans look that much alike that they can't tell them apart?

UPDATE: Still racking my brain over who this could possibly be. Another report indicates that the person picked up spoke fluent English and Pashto. So, maybe he's not of Egyptian ancestry but is the child of Pakistani or Afghan immigrants?

Here are the names of a few Americans caught in Pakistan or suspected of traveling to Pakistan to join the jihad. Of them, only Gadahn has been indicted for treason. It's not an extant list, just what comes to mind.

Bryant Neal Vinas, from New York and arrested in Pakistan. Indicted for attempting to kill Americans abroad. Vinas was a big time eHadi.

David Headley, arrested at his Chicago home and a freelance operative for Pakistan's LeT. Helped plan the Mumbai massacre and possibly other acts of violence in India.

The YouTube jihadis: Waqar Hussain Khan, Ahmed Abdullah Minni, Ramy S Zamzam, Aman Hassan Yemer, Umar Farooq went to Pakistan to join al Qaeda or the Taliban. Still held in Pakistani prison.

The North Carolina 7: Daniel Patrick Boyd, Hysen Sherifi, Anes Subasic, Zakariya Boyd, Dylan Boyd, Mohammad Omar Aly Hassan, and Ziyad Yaghi were involved in several failed plots to join al Qaeda and an ongoing plot to join the Taliban in Pakistan. All facing federal indictments.

Jude Kenan Mohammad was also part of the 7 from North Carolina mentioned above, but he's on the lam in Pakistan. He was arrested on his way to cross the border into Afghanistan, but the Pakistanis let him go and now he's missing, presumed to be with al Qaeda or the Taliban.

Ahmad Abousamra from Boston is under a federal indictment, missing, and presumably in Pakistan. Abousamra was able to travel to the lands of jihad with known internet terrorist supporter Tarek Mehanna.

82nd Airborne Division In Afghanistan: We've Got A Problem

Kandahar, Afghanistan

Yesterday, an American involved in the war effort handed me a document. It was an email from a Lieutenant Colonel in the 82nd Airborne Division in Afghanistan. His unit is in combat seven days a week. To be clear, I did not get the email from the officer and I have never met him.

The email is about the abysmal, unsafe conditions which some of our most dedicated troops are living in, at a remote base run by the Spanish military in Afghanistan. All deletions [xxx] are by me. I have the entire email. The serious and disturbing allegations are found in the second and third paragraphs.

Please note, that the failure to support permanent US troops at this Spanish base constitutes real negligence about their ultimate safety. And that comes on top of a degree of harassment that is shocking among allies.

The message begins:[More...]

Australian Imam, Sharia in Australia Would Work

We'll just leave out the chopping parts:

SMH.com
ELEMENTS of Islamic law - the sharia - should be legally recognised in Australia so that Muslims can live according their faith, a prominent Muslim leader says.

But Dr Matthews said he was referring only to certain elements of family law and inheritance law and was not advocating the sharia penal system.

''I wasn't talking about sharia law in its entirety - we are not calling for the introduction of the penal system which calls for cutting off hands,'' he said.

Dr Matthews said a clash occurred in some custody matters. ''Under sharia law, if a couple divorce and the mother remarries, her former husband has the right to decide whether the children will live with the new husband or not,'' Dr Matthews said.

''There is still a preference for the child to go with the mother, but the father has the ultimate decision.

So see, there's nothing to worry about. Australians should be reassured enough by leaving out all the chopping and thrashing under Sharia that asking women to give up most of the rights afforded them under current law should hardly upset anyone.

Hat Tip: Some radical right wing extremist who is for equal rights for women and finds Sharia law oppressive to women.

ROP Roundup: Muslims Behead Women Children in Nigeria

Washington Post:

JOS, Nigeria (Reuters) - Soldiers patrolled the central Nigerian city of Jos on Monday and aid workers tried to assess the death toll after attacks on outlying communities in which several hundred people were feared to have been killed.

Residents of three predominantly Christian settlements near Jos said Muslim herders from surrounding hills launched what appeared to be reprisal attacks in the early hours of Sunday following sectarian clashes which killed hundreds in January.

A Reuters witness counted more than 100 bodies on Sunday in Dogo Nahawa, one of the three communities attacked, but victims were also brought to hospitals in Jos and some were quickly buried, making it difficult for officials to assess the toll.

Police spokesman Mohammed Lerama said the number of dead officially recorded so far stood at 55.

The Australian dutifully reports ,"500 die in Nigerian race riots"

Er uh, Islam is not a race! To add insult to injury they go on to quickly blame the violence on the "Christian race".

In Jos, Yusuf Alkali, a member of the Fulani group, said he believed the attacks were a reprisal for the killings of four herdsmen two weeks ago, when a Fulani settlement was raided by ethnic Berom youths.
So see, according to the effing Dhimmis at The Australian" the Muslim race was like totally justified in hacking off the heads of women and children?

Male to Female Birth Ratios Artificially Skewed

Economist:

XINRAN XUE, a Chinese writer, describes visiting a peasant family in the Yimeng area of Shandong province. The wife was giving birth. “We had scarcely sat down in the kitchen”, she writes (see article), “when we heard a moan of pain from the bedroom next door…The cries from the inner room grew louder—and abruptly stopped. There was a low sob, and then a man’s gruff voice said accusingly: ‘Useless thing!’

“Suddenly, I thought I heard a slight movement in the slops pail behind me,” Miss Xinran remembers. “To my absolute horror, I saw a tiny foot poking out of the pail. The midwife must have dropped that tiny baby alive into the slops pail! I nearly threw myself at it, but the two policemen [who had accompanied me] held my shoulders in a firm grip. ‘Don’t move, you can’t save it, it’s too late.’

“‘But that’s...murder...and you’re the police!’ The little foot was still now. The policemen held on to me for a few more minutes. ‘Doing a baby girl is not a big thing around here,’ [an] older woman said comfortingly. ‘That’s a living child,’ I said in a shaking voice, pointing at the slops pail. ‘It’s not a child,’ she corrected me. ‘It’s a girl baby, and we can’t keep it. Around these parts, you can’t get by without a son. Girl babies don’t count.’”

Shocking. What is sad is these folks are shortchanging the boys they so desire.
In January 2010 the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) showed what can happen to a country when girl babies don’t count. Within ten years, the academy said, one in five young men would be unable to find a bride because of the dearth of young women—a figure unprecedented in a country at peace.
Hat Tip: Instapundit.

"Moderate"Turkey Raids Synagogue

A Turkish newspaper reports that police burst into an Istanbul synagogue during recent Sabbath services and demanded worshipers’ ID’s.

The Turkish Milliyet newspaper reported that the Muslim government in Turkey appears to be cracking down on non-Muslim minorities. The individual communities are not being permitted to have their own leaders; one person will be recognized by the government to represent all the minorities as one. As the Christian community outnumbers the Jewish one, it is expected that a Christian will serve as “Chief Rabbi.”

Boy, 6, Brandishes Gun in Kindergarten Class

(Ionia, Michigan) School officials took immediate action after discovering a 6-year-old boy playing around with a gun.

But when Mason Jammer, a kindergarten student at Jefferson Elementary in Ionia, curled his fist into the shape of a gun (pic) Wednesday and pointed it at another student, school officials said it was no laughing matter.

They suspended Mason until Friday, saying the behavior made other students uncomfortable, said Erin Jammer, Mason's mother.

School officials allege Mason had displayed this kind of behavior for several months, despite numerous warnings.

"I do think it's too harsh for a six-year-old," said Jammer, who was previously warned that if Mason continued the practice he would be suspended. "He's six and he just likes to play."

Heh. The school officials overreacted in my estimation.

However, don’t lose hope. Apparently, this Abu Yahya is still a big enough figure to be an important capture, if it’s not really Gadahn. CBS also warns that it still could be Gadahn, but that we won’t know until Pakistan produces the detainee publicly. When might that be? I’m going to keep a close eye on Radar to find out.

KABUL — Gunbattles between the Taliban and another Islamist faction have killed at least 50 people in northeastern Afghanistan, officials said Sunday. The militants are apparently fighting for control of several villages where the central government has almost no presence.

The fighting was continuing Sunday, with militants using heavy machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades, the governor of Baghlan province said.

Local police official Zalmai Mangal said the fighting in the northeastern province appears to be a power struggle between local Taliban forces and the Hezb-e-Islami militia loyal to warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar.

Good, let them kill each other so we don't have to.

All For One: The Amazing Story That Kept Soldier "X" Alive

fb_yon.jpgWow, just wow.

It is somewhat clouded in mystery due to the fact the soldier was accidentally shot in his own camp.....hence Soldier X

Michael Yon [Guest author]

It was one of the most complex military logistical and medical operations ever undertaken – and it saved the life of a young British soldier critically injured in Afghanistan.

It involved hundreds of doctors, air and ground crews of several nations, travelling many thousands of miles, revolutionary and experimental medical equipment, several planes and helicopters and communications between three continents and cost millions of pounds.[...]

The respected American journalist Michael Yon, himself a former US special forces soldier, reported on his blog that he heard the shot and saw a flurry of activity and a medical evacuation helicopter taking Soldier X away.

He needed a portable, low-pressure artificial lung and the Americans offered to help. But the bureaucracy of moving from the British to the American military system meant that valuable time was being lost.

Contacted by a quick-thinking British doctor at Camp Bastion, Mr Yon sent an urgent email to a group of American civilian volunteers called Soldiers’ Angels near Ramstein Air Base in Germany, where most American casualties from Iraq and Afghanistan are initially sent.

The volunteers, founded by the great-niece of General George S. Patton, alerted the US Army’s nearby Landstuhl Regional Medical Center’s Acute Lung Rescue Team, which specialises in going straight to the aid of soldiers with severe lung problems. [More...]

Read it all.

God Bless those who worked so hard to save this soldier.

UPDATE: Correction to the story regarding Soldiers Angels via Mudville Gazette

Michael Yon contacted Soldiers' Angels to improve communications about Soldier X's status after he was moved from British to US and German medical care. Soldiers' Angels did not directly contact the Acute Lung Rescue Team. Soldiers' Angels role is to support soldiers and soldiers' families, not to initiate or intervene in medical care.

100% of the credit goes to the coalition military medical teams, who pulled together across the world to save a human life - no matter what nationality. They would have done it for anyone. That is the spirit of the original story, "The needs of the one."

Again, such an amazing story.

Saturday Overnight Scary Terrorist Cyber Attack Prediction

Gerald's bots have picked up a pattern indicating that terrorists may be out to launch a cyber attack. A big one. Against military and government computers.

That such an attack was possible by the Chinese has long been something we have been preparing for. But al Qaeda?

Either way the defenses are the same. And either way they are woefully inadequate.

CDR Salamander: Yeoman In The 'Stan': Chapter II

Excellent read by this milblogger Snippet:

I want to write this about what the people, environs and just plain existence is like around Kandahar Airfield. But, as much as I may try to focus, my heart and mind are not set upon it. But the following has been my experience and my thoughts on it all:

The climates between nearly 6,000 feet and 3,500 feet, between the Hindu Kush and Gobi-like desert, are stark. Walking around I am sweating a little. It is warm in the tent that I work in. I am seeing mid 70 degree temperatures in February with nights in the 40s. Bagram, is still damn cold and damp. This difference a C-130 can cover in less than 3 hours. Afghanistan is not the Middle East. It is not like Kuwait, Saudi, Bahrain or Iraq. Neither are its people. Neither is this war.

'Jihadis' Have Hamas Running Scared in Gaza Strip

Well, probably not but like FNC's headline.

Hamas -- the Palestinian militant group whose history of violence toward Israel landed it on the United States' terror list -- seems to be dealing with its own terrorism problem.[...]

In the dispatch, Ahmed Ja’abri claims that Hamas is losing control over the territory, according to reports by London-based Arab-language newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat quoted by the Jerusalem Post.

"Several worrisome explosions recently occurred in Gaza, security anarchy is extensive, and al-Kassam men are being killed," Ja'abri said in the letter, according to reports.

Awe, poor babies, no one to hide behind. With any luck they will kill each other until no one is left.

Who Does Rosie O'Donnell, Alex Jones & Other 9/11 Truthers Have In Common With?

chavez_and_ahmadinejad.jpg

Ahmadinejad

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Saturday called the September 11 attacks on the United States a "big fabrication" that was used to justify the US war on terrorism, the official IRNA news agency reported.

Ahmadinejad, who often rails against the West and Israel, made the comment in a meeting with Intelligence Ministry personnel.

It came amid escalating tension in the long-running dispute between Iran and the West over Tehran's nuclear program, with the United States pushing for new UN sanctions against the major oil producer.

Ahmadinejad described the destruction of the twin towers in New York on September 11, 2001 as a "complicated intelligence scenario and act," IRNA reported.

Threw in a pic of his best buddy Hugo for good measure.

Twoofers must be so proud Ahmadinejad is among them.

Looking for Conservative Hope in 2010?

I hope you Jawas and Jawa fans won't mind me plugging a very worthy political cause - a small government candidate who needs our support.

I would like to introduce you to my friend and candidate for U.S. Congress, Brian Miller who publishes this piece at Townhall.com.

Everyone in this country wants better and more affordable health care made available to a larger number of people. Those in this debate are not arguing about whether more people should be insured, the debate is about how to increase coverage for more people. The Democrats make it seem like our choice is between the current, albeit imperfect system, and radical reform. This is not true. As we saw in the last election, voting for change doesn't necessarily get you the kind of change you want. Sometimes a change can be a change for the worse.

My beef with the whole thing is that it is LBJ and FDR social engineering at it's worst. This here isn't hyperbole, just try to enjoy a day in Bloomberg's New York City.

Mandating universal health coverage and making the government the ultimate provider of health insurance takes our private choices about lifestyle, health, and medicine and turns them into public, social choices. Whether you eat donuts or hamburgers or get a check-up so many times a year is no longer a choice about your life, but rather a public, political choice about how politicians will control the distribution of resources in society. Since we'll all be tied together through a social health care system, you will no longer make private decisions about your lifestyle. This is a scary prospect. We don't want to live in a society where a National Health Director can decide that it is verboten to eat Krispy Kreme donuts because those who do have become a social liability.

See also, soda machines on high school campuses.

Brian is truly conservative and importantly, a military man with no political connections. Exactly what we need.

He running for Arizona's 8th congressional district and is the founder The Freshman 50, a pre-Tea Party political action committee dedicated to fielding conservative candidates in 2010.

Please support his candidacy and get involved. Here's why:

This is where you come in. Your support is an investment in proper government. And if that’s not reason enough, consider how much you currently pay in taxes – income tax, capital gains tax, gas tax, tobacco tax, death tax ... and the list goes on. Then picture how pleased politicians are when they vote for a thousand-page bill, which reassigns your money to a thousand pet projects for the sole purpose of getting re-elected. Those are tax dollars taken from more than one third - for some, more than one half - of your time and your labor.

Sat. Morning Hot Ballet Teacher Has Sex With Student Post and Pics

sarah_pririe_hot_ballet_teacher3.jpgYeah, I know this is Pechar's thing but she seems pretty hot. And she's a ballet teacher. You do the math.

Do some hot women not understand that they can pretty much get laid any time they want? So, why risk the ire of parents and the law?

As for the 15 year old kid, as a parent I want to agree with the police and call him a victim. But the part of me that was once a 15 year old young man just wants to call him lucky.

Daily Mail
:

A ballet teacher allegedly abducted a male pupil and had sex with him during a three-month affair.

Sarah Pirie, 27, who has choreographed stage shows across Britain and has appeared in TV soaps Hollyoaks and Waterloo Road, is accused of taking the boy, aged 15, to hotels where she seduced him.

Yesterday Scots-born Pirie, formerly of St Annes, Lancashire, appeared before magistrates in Blackpool in relation to the claims.

Indonesians Throw Shoes at Obama Image

(Jakarta, Indonesia) Outside the Indonesian Parliament yesterday, angry students threw shoes at an image of President Obama. The students were reportedly protesting Obama's "war on Muslims."



The students were also expressing anger over Obama's visit to Indonesia later this month.
Dozens of activists grouped under the Campus Islamic Proselytization Institute Coordinating Board rallied outside the Serang regency legislative council building on Friday to oppose Obama's visit (scheduled for March 20-22).

"We reject Obama's planned visit to Indonesia, which will bring no advantages to predominantly Muslim Indonesia," group coordinator Ahmad Kardi said as quoted by Antara.

Ahmad warned the nation against offers of cooperation from Obama, which he said would eventually benefit the US at Indonesia's expense.

The students claimed that President Obama is not different from his predecessor, President Bush.

"Warned the nation" about cooperating with Obama, eh?

Babes with Guns Are Hotter

Billy Demong, the 2010 Olympic Gold Medalist in Nordic Combined, was interviewed on Fox News Red Eye program (video) this week and he was asked his opinion of which group of athletes had the hottest babes at the Vancouver Olympics.

An admitted "nordic dork," Mr. Demong responded by choosing the women's cross-county skiers as the hottest group of Olympic babes.

"The biathlon skiers, actually. You take a very beautiful endurance athlete [cross-country skier] and give her a gun."
So, there you go. All other things being equal, it seems Mr. Demong thinks that the girls with guns are hotter. Here are some examples for analysis:


  

Yes, I sense hotness but I'm not convinced that other groups of female Olympians aren't just as hot. I'd suggest that the downhill skiers, the skaters, the curlers and others exhibit a comparable level of pulchritude without firearms.

Nevertheless, it seems that a gun in the capable hands of an attractive woman adds something -- a certain undefinable quality, a certain extra. A gun, however, is not a babe-maker.

In any event, this is all an academic exercise. I'm sure that readers have a variety of thoughts about whether babes are hotter with guns.

Illinois State Police: Oops, Should Have Done A Thorough Background Check On Our Muslim Chaplain Sheikh Kifah Mustapha

sheikh kifah mustapha.jpg
Never fear, C.A.I.R. & ACLU to the rescue.

March 3, 2010 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- The Illinois State Police Department currently has 37 chaplains or volunteer clergy who provide spiritual support for troopers, other employees and their families. Most are Christian; some are Jewish; and until last December, none was Muslim. That is when a Chicago Islamic leader named Kifah Mustapha went through the training and became the department's first Muslim chaplain, its 'pillar of the state police.' [..]

Early this year, Steve Emerson's terrorism research project Web site began posting videos and documents critical of Mustapha and questioning his appointment as an Illinois State Police chaplain.

"His appointment in Illinois is one of the most shocking developments and demonstrations of government ineptitude that I have ever seen," said Emerson.

When that criticism of Mustapha trickled back to Illinois State Police, things changed.

According to a police statement, "in early January, the ISP became aware that Mr. Mustapha was potentially identified as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood's Palestine Committee. An immediate review of our background process began."[...]

As for Mustapha himself, despite being a very public figure on radio and TV, he asked CAIR to speak for him until the state police determine whether to allow him as a chaplain[More..]

Naturally CAIR & ACLU is trying to discredit Emerson. Facts don't lie, but when does CAIR or ACLU worry about solid proof?

Be sure to read it all and watch the video. I tried to embed but it wouldn't work.

Detroit: Boy Charged With Throwing Drano Bomb In School

The kid should have watched this video, or maybe he did (bad actors BTW). Just google drano bomb, lots of how to out there.

Via Click on Detroit


DETROIT -- The mother of a student at Phoenix Multicultural School on Detroit's southwest side is defending her son he was charged with discharging a so-called "Drano bomb" inside the building.

The explosive device, made of household cleaning chemicals, went off in the hallway of the building at about 8:30 a.m., sending fumes into the air, said a school official. School officials said no students were injured because they were all inside classrooms.

However, a seventh-grader, who did not want to be identified, said the explosion on the third floor knocked her down and injured her. "The boom went off and I flew into a locker. I tried to block my face but it hit my arm instead," she said.

"The device itself could have caused a lot of damage if there were a lot of children around when the device actually went off. Those types of bombs are very, very unstable," said Inspector Don Johnson with the DPD Bomb Squad.

Dangerous prank.

Another Conviction in the Holy Land Foundation Case

I'll just put the entire presser below the fold. The gist of it is that he lied to the FBI. But they're are lies and then there are lies, aren't there? The substance of imam Akram Musa Abdallah's lies were that he knew that the Holy Land Foundation was a terrorist organization, he continued to raise funds for the Hamas front any way, and he tried to cover up the activities of his buddies who were also raising funds for the terrorist organization.

The press release from the FBI follows. Thanks to Mark.

--------------- Mesa Man Sentenced to Prison for Lying to the FBI During a Terrorism Investigation ----------------

PHOENIX—Today, Akram Musa Abdallah, a.k.a. Abu Saiaf, 55, of Mesa, Arizona, was sentenced to 18 months in prison as a result of his guilty plea to false statements to a government agency, in federal district court in Phoenix. In sentencing Abdallah, U.S. District Judge Neil V. Wake applied an enhancement because the offense related to international terrorism. This is the first time in the District of Arizona that the terrorism enhancement has been applied for this offense.

Dennis K. Burke, United States Attorney for the District of Arizona, stated, “This sentence should serve as a strong warning to anyone who knowingly lies during a terrorism investigation. It is important that the public cooperate in investigations involving national security for the safety and security of all people in the United States, and that in those investigations members of the public are truthful and complete in their statements to law enforcement.”

In January 2007, Akram Musa Abdallah knowingly made material false statements when he was being interviewed by FBI agents in connection with the federal investigation and prosecution of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief & Development (HLF) and its officers. At the time of the interviews, Abdallah knew the HLF was a Specially Designated Terrorist organization. Abdallah also knew that the HLF and its officers were pending trial in the Northern District of Texas for crimes which included providing material support to Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization.

During interviews with the FBI, Abdallah denied that he was involved in fund raising activities for the HLF. In fact, between approximately 1994 and 1997, Abdallah was involved in numerous fund raising activities, including collecting donations and organizing, facilitating and coordinating fund raising events on behalf of the HLF in the Phoenix metropolitan area.

Nathan T. Gray, FBI Special Agent in Charge, Phoenix Division stated, “The FBI is committed to protecting the American public as it relates to terrorist activity. Today's sentencing exemplifies the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force's (JTTF) resolve to pursue those who choose not to acknowledge their involvement with fund raising for a known terrorist group. The FBI, through its JTTF, will continue its partnership with the United States Attorney's Office in investigating and prosecuting those who support international terrorism.”

From its inception, HLF existed to support Hamas. Before HLF was designed as a Specially Designated Terrorist by the Treasury Department and shut down in December 2001, it was the largest U.S. Muslim charity, based in Richardson, Texas. The “material support statute,” as it is commonly referred to, recognizes that money is fungible, and that money in the hands of a terrorist organization—even if for so called charitable purposes—supports that organization’s overall terrorist objectives.

On December 4, 2001, the Holy Land Foundation for Relief & Development (HLF) was designated by the President of the United States as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist, pursuant to Executive Order 13224, and as a Specially Designated Terrorist under Executive Order 12947. The HLF was shut down as a result of the designation and its assets were frozen. In July 2004, the HLF and seven of its principals were indicted on a variety of charges stemming from its financial support of Hamas.

The government presented evidence in the HLF trial that, as the U.S. began to scrutinize individuals and entities in the U.S. who were raising funds for terrorist groups in the mid-1990s, the HLF intentionally hid its financial support for Hamas behind the guise of charitable donations. Since 1995, when it first became illegal to provide financial support to Hamas, HLF provided approximately $12.4 million in support to Hamas and its goal of creating an Islamic Palestinian state by eliminating the State of Israel through violent jihad.

The evidence at trial demonstrated that the HLF defendants provided financial support to the families of Hamas suicide bombers, detainees, and activists knowing and intending that such assistance would support the Hamas terrorist organization. In November 2008, after a two month trial, the HLF and all its officers were found guilty of the respective charges. As a result, on May 27, 2009, they were sentenced to prison terms ranging between 15 and 65 years.

The investigation in this case was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The prosecution was handled by David A. Pimsner, Assistant U.S. Attorney, District of Arizona, Phoenix and Barry Jonas, Trial Attorney, Counter Terrorism Section, Department of Justice.

Maulvi Faqir Muhammad DEAD????

Unconfirmed but great news if it is true.

xinhuanet

Three top leaders of Pakistani Taliban were among 30 militants killed by the security forces in a tribal region, local TV channels reported on Friday.

Maulvi Faqir Muhammad, the deputy chief of Tehrik Taliban Pakistan (TTP), was among those killed in Mohmand tribal agency, the private Geo News reported.

Maulvi Faqir was based in Bajaur tribal area and is believed to have moved to Mohmand agency after the security forces took control of Bajaur near the Afghan border.

There is no official confirmation of the report and no reaction from TTP

Some will ask whats the big deal...Faqir has been known to shelter Ayman Zawahiri....who might be feeling a tad exposed about now....his hidey hole gone....and if this report is true his regional protector..... is dead.

Some background... Faqir's Wiki page

Pakistan nabs aide to Taliban chief Mehsud (Hakemullah)

Interesting catch....wonder if he can tell us what happened to old Hakemullah.

UPI

Pakistani authorities announced the arrest a man in a suburb of Karachi they said was a top assistant to Pakistani Taliban leader Hakimullah Mehsud.

Criminal investigators said they arrested Alam Mehsud in operations Thursday in Surjani Town, a neighborhood of Karachi. A joint CIA-Pakistani raid nabbed Taliban commander Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, one of the highest-ranking Taliban officials captured since 2001, in Karachi during February operations.

Alam Mehsud is believed by Pakistani authorities to be a close assistant to former Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud, who was killed in an August airstrike. Alam Mehsud also served under his successor, Hakimullah Mehsud, Pakistani newspaper The News International reports.

Alam Mehsud told authorities during his interrogation that he served as a judge under Baitullah Mehsud. He allegedly fled to Karachi, where he was trying to recruit fighters for the Taliban, following the August attack.


Stay tuned..

Congress Forcing CIA into Fort Hood Style Multiculturalism?

At it's root the concern that the CIA doesn't have enough Pashto, Farsi, Arab, Turkish, and Urdu has a great deal of merit. We need people who speak the languages of our enemies. But forcing them to hire more native speakers? This is a recipe for Fort Hood, an incident that could have been avoided had the Army not been so concerned with retaining and promoting Muslims and Arabs.

We need Muslims in the CIA. We need their language skills and their abilities to reach out and recruit assets in countries where they may have some familiarity.

What we don't need is a reporting system which would force the CIA to hire Muslims for the sake of hiring Muslims because it makes us feel good. The CIA does not need the college recruitment picture treatment.

The Amendment reads:

Amendment to require the DNI [Director of National Intelligence], in coordination with the heads of the elements of the intelligence community, to submit to Congress a report on the plans of each element of the community, including the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, to increase diversity within that element.
It passed 401 - 11.

Canadian Cartoonists Looking for a Fatwa

The Canadian Committee for World Press Freedom is hosting a cartoon contest. This year's theme will surely get them a few death threats:

1. The theme for the 10th International Editorial Cartoon Competition is:

The « right » not to be offended is not a right.

In Canada, Mark Steyn is brought before three different Human Rights Tribunals for allegedly “insulting Islam”.

Meanwhile at the United Nation’s Human Rights Commission, Arab states have for years attempted to make that a crime.

What started out with a fatwa against Salman Rushdie for insulting Mohamed and was dismissed by many as an isolated incident, culminated years later with the assassination of Theo Van Gogh in the streets of Amsterdam for the same offense.

In Denmark, cartoonists still fear for their life for having drawn Mohamed in newspaper Jyllands-Posten.

Meanwhile in Ireland, blasphemy is now a criminal offence.

How can we encourage vigorous debate while being respectful of religious sensibilities?

Cash will be offered to the winning cartoon. Unfortunately the money will be in snow pesos, but you take what you can get.

The round then penetrated his helmet hitting him between the eyes. It knocked his head back and caused severe bleeding.

More bullets followed, hitting the Chinook's controls and shutting down the stabilisation system.

But with blood pouring into his eyes, Ian battled with the controls to stop the chopper from spiralling out of control.

Then with the aircraft lurching from side to side he continued flying for eight minutes before landing at Camp Bastion.

Obama Foreign Policy Snapshot

Barry Rubin at the Rubin Report takes one area of Ofumble's foreign and puts it in perspective.

Here are a few quotes.

The story of the U.S. engagement with Syria and the sanctions issue regarding Iran’s nuclear program are fascinating. Each day there’s some new development showing how the Obama Administration is acting like a deer standing in the middle of a busy highway admiring the pretty automobile headlights.

..the Syrian government keeps punching the United States in the face as Washington ignores it.

..the moment the U.S. delegation left after urging Syrian President Bashar al-Asad to move away from Iran and stop supporting Hizballah, Syria’s dictator invited in Iran’s dictator along with Hizballah’s leader and Damascus moved closer to Iran and Hizballah.

IMO, Ofumble is a foreign policy child quickly overreacting to reprimand or an uncomfortable situations with a stumbling, shortsighted reaction. He has no understanding of the future or coherent strategy, which would typically be developed instinctively from life experience. And he's dumb.

al-Shabaab Bans English and Science in Schools for Refusing to Offer Child Recruits for Jihad

Terror Free Somalia:

NAIROBI (Reuters) - Somalia's hardline Islamists have banned English and science studies in schools in the southern Afmadow town after the education centers there ignored the rebels' call for fighters, residents and teachers say.

Residents of the town near the border with Kenya said three schools had been given one month to comply with the order by al Shabaab rebels and switch the curriculum to accommodate Arabic and Islamic studies.

"They asked us to contribute students to their militia so that they can fight for them, but we rejected their proposal," said one teacher who wanted to remain anonymous.

But despite several compliments on their chilly version of the Venus de Milo, the family were forced to cover up her blushes after complaints from other residents.

The icy goddess, which was visible from the roadside, had attracted admiring glances from passing motorists.

Breaking Shots Fired at Pentagon (Updated Bumped)

Shooter was a twoofer see update below

ABC News:

Two police officers were injured by a gunman firing shots outside the Pentagon tonight and a suspect was in custody, a police spokesman said.

The shooting occurred at the Pentagon Metro Station, which is just outside the Pentagon's main entrance.

The shots were fired at about 6:30 p.m. ET.

Initially, hundreds of employees at the Pentagon were ordered to go into "Code Red" -- the entire building locked down, with no one allowed to enter or leave.

After about 45 minutes, people were allowed to leave the building...

Hat Tip: Amy

Update by Abu Fatima

The motive for the shooting in suburban Washington, D.C., wasn't immediately clear, but the Associated Press, citing unnamed sources, identified the gunman as 36-year-old John Patrick Bedell and reported that authorities are checking whether a second suspect was involved.

The man was calm as he approached the officers at the main entrance around 6:40 p.m., Pentagon Police Chief Richard Keevil said at a news conference. The officers asked to see his pass to enter the building; he started shooting without saying a word

And Internet research shows that the guy was a 9/11 Truther and an anti-Bush nut case.

Via Charles Johnson comes this link to some crazy ranting from the guy. It was recorded in November 2006 — when Bush was president, to belabor the obvious. I transcribed this part, in which he is speaking of criminal organizations working within the U.S. Government:

This criminal organization would use its powers to convert military, intelligence, and law enforcement bureaucracies into instruments for political control, and the domination and subjection of society, while discrediting, destroying, and murdering honest individuals within those services, that work to root out corruption, and faithfully serve their fellow citizens. This organization, like so many murderous governments throughout history, would see the sacrifice of thousands of its citizens in an event such as the September 11 attacks, as a small cost in order to perpetuate its barbaric control. This collection of gangsters would find it in their interest to foment conflict and initiate wars throughout the world, in order to divert attention from their misconduct and criminality. The true nature of such a regime would find its clearest expression in the satanic violence currently ongoing in Iraq.

How A Nebraska Bill May Pivot the Abortion Debate

Excellent article by American Thinker

The abortion debate may get an interesting twist soon. The Nebraska Legislature is considering a bill to ban abortions performed twenty weeks into a woman's pregnancy. Nebraska has a nonpartisan, unicameral legislature, so many of the shenanigans which can cause legislative bills to fall into a maelstrom of confusion are absent there. This is not a "partisan" issue, and no conference committee reports can swallow the bill and then regurgitate it as unrecognizable vomit. [...]
Do unborn feel pain? Why is anesthesia required?
Does an unborn child feel pain when it is killed? Medical technology now allows surgical procedures to be performed on very small unborn children. This advance in medicine alone takes away many of the arguments for abortions -- more and more at-risk unborn babies can enter the world healthy. But more to the point of fetal pain, when surgeons perform this sort of procedure on babies in the womb, anesthesia is administered. Why do that unless the unborn baby can feel pain?
Read the full article to digest it all. The liberals worry about GITMO torture, baby seals, save the whales, Gaza, etc. but do they give a damn about the unborn?

Prime Minister Geert Wilders?

Geert Wilders' Freedom Party wins big in the Netherlands. They only ran candidates in two of the municipal elections, and won in both. But more importantly:

And, of course, Mr Wilders now has his eye on the larger prize. His Freedom Party has profited more than any other from the fall of the Dutch cabinet ten days ago. The party currently has nine seats in parliament (out of 150).

If voters had elected a new parliament on Wednesday, the Freedom Party would have won between 24 and 27 seats. In one poll, it would be the largest single party. If his party does that well come June, Geert Wilders could become the next prime minister.

The national opinion polls also indicate that forming the next coalition will be more difficult than ever. Dutch coalition governments are usually made up of two or three parties. The next coalition will likely need four or more parties to reach a majority in parliament.

His party is by no means the majority, but neither is it some marginal minority which can be persecuted by the Dutch Leftist elite for thinking or saying that which might be offensive to Islamists.

One only hopes that if Wilders is able to secure a cabinet position that the political trials will come to an end. Also, that he'll drop the idiotic stance that the Koran should be banned. As irony it works, but as a real political goal it is every bit as fascist as the Islamists who want to ban Koran desecration.

GOP Reps. Want Charges Dropped Against SEALs Accused of Abusing Terror Suspect

FNC

Two Republican lawmakers are seeking to have charges dropped against three Navy SEALs facing court-martial for accusations of abusing a terror suspect arrested for an ambush killing of U.S. contractors in Iraq.

The SEALs -- Special Warfare Operators 2nd Class Matthew McCabe and Jonathan Keefe and Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Julio Huertas -- were part of a team that in September 2009 captured Ahmed Hashim Abed, the Al Qaeda terrorist behind the murder and mutilation of four Blackwater USA contractors in Fallujah in 2004.

The contractors' bodies were burned and left hanging from a bridge. The image came to symbolize the rise of Al Qaeda in Iraq and the brutality of the enemy Americans face there.

McCabe is accused of punching Abed in the stomach and giving him a bloody lip during the arrest.[According to Abed]

Reps. Dan Burton, R-Ind. and Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif. are holding a news conference Thursday with McCabe and more than a dozen retired Navy SEALs and other special forces personnel.

Burton and Human Events, a conservative publication, have gathered petitions with more than 150,000[mine included] signatures demanding that the charges be dropped against the men.

The SEALs were offered what's call administrative punishment if they admitted wrongdoing but that would have hurt their future as special operators.

Rather than accept the reprimand, the sailors chose to fight the charges in a military court.

Charging these Seals is a travesty of justice aimed at appeasing the far left close GITMO crowd.

Global Warming: And The Biggest Winner Is

TheGoracle.jpg

Goracle
The greatest scandal connected to global warming is not exaggeration, fraud or destruction of data to conceal the weakness of the argument. It is those who are personally profiting from promoting this fantasy at the expense of the rest of us.

Al Gore is the most visible beneficiary. The world's greatest climate-change fear-monger has amassed millions in book sales and speaking fees. His science-fiction movie, "An Inconvenient Truth," won an Academy Award for best documentary and 21 other film awards. He was co-recipient of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for his "efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change."

Meanwhile, Mr. Gore was laying his own foundations. As he was whipping up hysteria over climate change, he cannily invested in "green" firms that stood to profit in the hundreds of millions of dollars (if not more) from increased government regulations and sweetheart deals from connected politicians and bureaucrats. The multimillionaire climate dilettante was given a free pass by reporters, who refused to ask him hard questions about the degree to which he was profiting from the panic he was causing.

'Quid Pro Quo'

That's how liberal NPR commentator Juan Williams referred to Obama's nomination of Scott M. Matheson, Jr. to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. Matheson's brother Jim was among ten House healthcare "no" voters invited to the White House tonight for some legislative slap and tickle.

When a reliable tool like Williams won't even try to defend blatant vote-buying it doesn't leave much doubt:

Tonight, Barack Obama will host ten House Democrats who voted against the health care bill in November at the White House; he's obviously trying to persuade them to switch their votes to yes. One of the ten is Jim Matheson of Utah. The White House just sent out a press release announcing that today President Obama nominated Matheson's brother Scott M. Matheson, Jr. to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.
Representative Matheson's staff and the White House brand the allegations "ridiculous" and "absurd".

We'll just have to wait and see how Jimmy votes now that Scotty is taken care of.

Hamas Bans Men From Women's Salons

free_free_palestine.jpgFree Free Palestine, how's that working out for ya now citizens of Gaza? Be sure to send a thank you to Code Pink, George Galloway, Cynthia McKinney, etc. for helping you become free.

Via Breitbart

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) - Gaza's Islamic Hamas government on Thursday banned men from working in women's hair salons, the latest step in its campaign to impose strict Islamic customs on Gaza's 1.5 million people.

Since seizing Gaza in 2007, Hamas has taken steps in that direction while avoiding a frontal assault on secularism. The majority of Gaza residents are conservative Muslims, but Hamas is under growing pressure from more radical groups to prove its fundamentalist credentials by imposing ever harsher edicts.

The latest measure irked one of the victims of the ban.

"Next thing you know, they will ban doctors from treating women, and will only let women treat women," said Barakat al-Ghoul, a 44-year-old hairdresser. "Tomorrow, they will ban everything."

Al-Ghoul, who has cut women's hair for 26 years, said a ban would be devastating. He said he has no other way of making a living.

Taliban Slams Afghan Media Ban

Claiming the terrorists freedom of speech is being violated

The Taliban have criticized the Afghan government for forbidding live media coverage of militant attacks, calling it a violation of the freedom of speech.

"This totally undermines freedom of the press and expression and cannot be justified by any means," Taliban spokesperson Yousuf Ahmadi said on Wednesday.

Afghanistan earlier on Monday said journalists would be allowed to film only the aftermath of attacks in accordance with Article 7 of Afghanistan's national security law.

Poor Ahmadi, he needs it for propaganda and Afghanistan isn't cooperating. Get him a GITMO lawyer NOW.

Heathrow Airport Worker Arrested in Terror Plot

Yesterday I said I didn't think it was that big of a deal that a man who worked for British Airways was arrested in a terror fund raising plot. That was because he worked at a call center and so presumably was not in any position to use his job with BA to further the plot.

But this guy? He worked at Heathrow.

Now, I've flown in and out of Heathrow on many occasions. That a would-be terrorist or jihad sympathizer works there is not surprising in the least. But still, what are you going to do, fly in to Gatwick? That's just crazy talk!

One wonders which terrorist group these lot were trying to raise funds for? Shabaab? Lashkar-e-Taiba? The Caucuses Emirate? AQIM? With each group comes sympathy from a fair number of the children of immigrants who feel a connection to their parents' homeland and towards jihad.

One wonders if they ever think about the reason their parents left in the first place? Namely that their countries of origin sucked, with no small amount of that suckiness being directly attributed to a certain religion of peace.

The Sun:

A HEATHROW Airport worker was last night under arrest over a terrorist fund-raising plot.

The man is the second British Airways employee in a week held on suspicion of raising cash for an attack - possibly on a jet.

Anti-terror cops swooped on the homes of the airport worker and two other men in Slough, Berks, at 5am yesterday.

The suspects - aged 31, 32 and 43 - are being held at London's top security Paddington Green police station.

And I think you'll be underwhelmed to find out what the police are looking at as evidence against the airline worker:
Searches of the Slough suspects' homes were carried out yesterday and computer equipment and documents taken away for examination.
Cyberjihad meets actual jihad.

But, if you want to wear make-up in public, than you better be a rock star. There are no if’s, and’s, or but’s about this situation. Have you ever seen a Maybelline commercial with a male spokesmodel? Of course not. Make-up is for women and actors and that’s pretty much it. If you are a man and you are wearing make-up for no other reason than you think it makes you look cool…your buddies could possibly relinquish your Man Card forever, relegating you from your usual hangouts to the nearest Sephora.

Ministry of Irony: Domestic Violence Advocate Kills Husband

Confederate Yankee:

While it is far from always being the case, most of us tend to think of domestic violence as a crime that typically occurs within the home, not blocks away:
Witnesses told police that Bridges was wearing a nightgown and a shower cap as she argued with Rankins on the sidewalk on North Avenue near West Peachtree Street around 10:45 p.m. Monday.

And moments later, witnesses said, they heard shots. They said she then "calmly walked away."

A MARTA police officer stopped her as she was getting into her car, perhaps to return to her home nearby on Centennial Olympic Park Drive.

It seems to me she may have been projecting.

Chile Quake Moved Earth's Axis

On Tuesday, NASA research scientists Richard Gross and Benjamin Fong Chao announced that last weekend's devastating earthquake in Chile caused the Earth's axis to shift by eight centimeters, making the planet rotate faster and producing days 1.26 microseconds shorter. The acceleration is permanent.

Earth.jpg

On Wednesday, top German scientists at the German Research Center for Geosciences in Potsdam and the German Geophysical Association indicated that the NASA scientists are full of hooey. According to Professor Karl-Heinz Glassmeier:
“I hit my hand on my head as I read that yesterday.

“NASA can only make the headlines with it. A figure of eight centimetres is absolutely unverifiable.”

At East Anglia University, they would likely conclude that scientific consensus has been achieved since axis-shift deniers would be ignored.

Germany Convicts Four Terrorists With Links to Islamic Jihad Union

CNN:

Berlin, Germany (CNN) -- Four men were convicted in Germany on Thursday in connection with a foiled terrorist plot against Western targets, court officials said.

The men had begun mixing a huge amount of explosive material that could have resulted in a strong blast, bigger than attacks in 2005 on London's public transport network and the 2004 Madrid railway bombings, authorities said.

Three of the men -- two Germans and a Turk -- were arrested in September 2007. The other was arrested later.

The Germans -- Fritz Gelowicz and Daniel Schneider -- were sentenced to 12 years in prison. Turkish citizen Adem Yilmaz received 11 years. Attila Selek, a German citizen of Turkish descent, received five years.

5 Year Old Boy Kidnapped in Pakistan

BBC:

A five-year-old British boy has been kidnapped by robbers in Pakistan, local police have said.

Sahil Saeed, from Oldham, Greater Manchester, was abducted in Jhelum, where his family were on holiday.

Robbers broke into where they were staying, in Punjab province, on Wednesday night and have demanded a ransom of about £100,000.

The boy's father, Raja Naqqah Saeed, had been visiting his mother in Pakistan with Sahil.

They were about to leave for the airport to return to the UK at 2300 local time (1800 GMT) on Wednesday when four men - armed with guns and a grenade - approached the house.

Yemen Arrests 11 al Qaeda Terrorists?

CNN: Yemen arrests 11 terrorists.

There's an article in Ashaq Alawasat by a Yemeni expert on Islamic groups that says al Qaeda in Yemen's goal is to raise and train an army of 12,000 terrorists. (There is a Hadith about 12,000 warriors of Allah coming from Yemen to dominate the world.) The expert says so far they have about 3000 al Qaeda in Yemen, mixed among operatives and support staff. I can't say how accurate that is, but its the upper level of estimates. The lower being 300. Eleven is a start for sure. But its Yemen, so this press release could actually mean a number of things:

1- authentic arrests of an operational al Qaeda cell (probably based on foreign intel. The place is swarming with spooks and special ops according to media reports and the White House.)
2- show arrests of 17 year olds made to demonstrate Yemen's commitment to tackling al Qaeda for the benefit of western media and officials
3- some entirely unrelated group of individuals belonging to the domestic opposition, southerners or Houthis
4- even maybe top echelon terrorists (It has happened a few times. If fact almost all the top leaders of al Qaeda in Yemen were in prison in Yemen within the last five years, and then either escaped or were released on an early parole. For example, Fahd al Quso, convicted USS Cole bomber, was released by authorities about three years into his ten year sentence. Al Quso is currently #3 on the FBI's most wanted terrorists list.)

The funny thing about the press release from the state media is that Yemen claims for the fourth time that top al Qaeda commander Qasim al Reimi is dead but he was spotted alive and well recently, brunching in fact. The Yemeni government really has no credibility.

If Yemen really did capture 11 al Qaeda, the next questions are: who interrogates them, how long do they stay in jail before escaping, and are they able to direct operations from within jail? The last is very important.

Yemen: Pre-dawn raid kills man who hung effigy of president

alyafeiy_hang_saleh.jpg

On Monday, Yemeni authorities announced the death of Ali Saleh al Yafie, labeled by authorities as an al Qaeda operative. Two soldiers and several members of al Yafie’s family were also killed in the raid on his home in Abyan including a seven year-old granddaughter.

Al Yafie was an activist in the populist movement which calls for the independence of southern Yemen. On Sunday, al Yafie burned an effigy of Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh during an anti-government rally in Zanzibar, Abyan. Activists allege that Monday’s deadly raid was in retaliation for al Yafie’s actions at the demonstration. His family said he had no relation to al Qaeda.

Yemeni authorities often conflate domestic political opposition with al Qaeda in a bid to gain international backing. Sana’a repeatedly accused both the northern Houthi rebels and the southern secessionists of links to al Qaeda, however the central government of Ali Abdullah Saleh itself has struck numerous deals with al Qaeda’s leadership and operatives over the last decades.

The New York Times reported last week rhat Osama bin Laden supplied weapons, ammunition and fighters from abroad to bolster the military efforts of the Saleh regime in 1994’s civil war. Saleh also deployed jihaddists in the five year northern Sa’ada War that began in 2004.

According to al Eshteraki, the website of the Socialist Party, witnesses to the raid said security forces took cover in the minaret of a mosque near al Yafie’s home and opened fire on the house with machine guns, RPG’s and tear gas. Al Yafie and his sons returned fire. Al Yafie’s wife and daughter were injured in the shoot-out and hospitalized. His son was arrested.

The incident is the latest in an ongoing stream of fatalities in south Yemen where mass protests began in 2007 calling for equal rights. Over 100 unarmed protesters have been killed during protests since then and over a thousand arrested including political leaders, journalists, children and activists. The deaths and arrests triggered new protests as the cycle of state violence and civil unrest engulfed the region.

Protesters claim they were denied equal rights and opportunities after north and south Yemen unified into a single state in 1990. Government overtures to lessen tensions have been half-hearted and sporadic. In 2007, the central government said it would pay military pensions overdue by a decade in return for a pledge by former military officers to refrain from peaceful political activity. The offer was rejected.

The movement is loosely organized and generally pledges allegiance to the former president of South Yemen, Ali Salem al Beidh, who said on Wednesday that unity had “failed completely,” Radio Sawa reported. Al Beidh, who was exiled to Oman following the civil war, condemned the state’s violence against the protesters and warned that “things cannot go on as they are."

Demonstrations continued this week throughout the south as police arrested over 100 southern activists. Yemen has thousands of political prisoners of all stripes in jail, and many are subjected to torture.

In February, the International Freedom of Expression Exchange (IFEX), in concert with 24 other rights groups, said the Yemeni government was habitually “taking brutal retaliatory actions against human rights defenders, journalists and critics of the regime's policies.” In the statement, IFEX called on Yemen’s government to end kidnappings, forced disappearances, torture and arbitrary arrests.

On Wednesday, the US Department of State Assistant Secretary for Near Eastern Affairs, Jeffrey Feltman, said in an interview to official al-Thawra, the crisis in the south is an internal affair, but he said issues behind the crisis should be solved.

Muslim Girl Divorced Before Entering Puberty

NY Times:

It’s hard to imagine that there have been many younger divorcées — or braver ones — than a pint-size third grader named Nujood Ali.

Nujood is a Yemeni girl, and it’s no coincidence that Yemen abounds both in child brides and in terrorists (and now, thanks to Nujood, children who have been divorced). Societies that repress women tend to be prone to violence.

For Nujood, the nightmare began at age 10 when her family told her that she would be marrying a deliveryman in his 30s. Although Nujood’s mother was unhappy, she did not protest. “In our country it’s the men who give the orders, and the women who follow them,” Nujood writes in a powerful new autobiography just published in the United States this week, “I Am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced.”

"The plaintiffs allege that defendants' operation of energy, fossil fuels, and chemical industries in the United States caused the emission of greenhouse gasses that contributed to global warming," say the documents, seen by AFP.

The increase in global surface air and water temperatures "in turn caused a rise in sea levels and added to the ferocity of Hurricane Katrina, which combined to destroy the plaintiffs' private property, as well as public property useful to them".

GITMO Detainee: You Are Stupid Infidels

For believing my Taqiyya

LASHKAR GAH, Afghanistan — A man freed from Guantanamo more than two years ago after he claimed he only wanted to go home and help his family is now a senior commander running Taliban resistance to the U.S.-led offensive in southern Afghanistan, two senior Afghan intelligence officials say.

Abdul Qayyum is also seen as a leading candidate to be the next No. 2 in the Afghan Taliban hierarchy, said the officials, interviewed last week by The Associated Press.

The story of Abdul Qayyum could add to the complications President Barack Obama is facing in fulfilling his pledge to close the prison at Guantanamo by sending some prisoners back to their home countries or to other willing nations, while putting others on trial.

U.S. intelligence asserts that 20 percent of suspects released from the Guantanamo Bay prison have returned to the fight and the number has been steadily increasing.

Qayyum's key aide in plotting attacks on Afghan and international forces is another former Guantanamo prisoner, said the Afghan intelligence officials as well as a former Helmand governor, Sher Mohammed Akundzada. Abdul Rauf, who told his U.S. interrogators he had only loose connections to the Taliban, spent time in an Afghan jail before being freed last year.,

John Kerry to Share Stage With Muslim Brotherhood

John Kerry has been invited to be the key note speaker at a conference on relations between the U.S. and Muslim countries.

Another key note speaker is Tariq Ramadan, who until recently was banned from entering the United States for his support of terrorist organizations such as Hamas. Also appearing at the forum are Salah Ali Abdulrahman, head of the Muslim Brotherhood of Bahrain, and Ruhail Gharaibeh the deputy leader of the political wing of the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood.

muslim_brotherhood_kerry.JPG

I'm not opposed to these kinds of conferences. I believe that members of the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamofascists should be invited to speak so that their evil ideology can be confronted. The worry, though, is that in the name of tolerance, multiculturalism, and coexistence they won't be confronted at all.

If Kerry want to be the hero he'll condemn political Islam as inherently antithetical to freedom, liberty, and human dignity. But he won't. If he bother to show up the only people he'll condemn will be Bush and Cheney.

Here is the UK's Channel 4 "Dispatches" expose on how the Islamic Forum of Europe is secretly infiltrating the Labour Party in an effort to bring down British democracy from within. I don't think you'll be shocked to learn that they're using the East London Mosque to spread their vile anti-freedom Islamist message.

Guess who's preached at the mosque in the past? Anwar al-Awlaki. The American traitor who inspired the Fort Hood massacre and the failed Christmas Day airplane bombing.

The Islamic Forum of Europe says attacks against them are attacks against Islam. But the good news here is that it is Muslims themselves taking the lead against political Islam. Kind of hard to call them Islamaphobes.

Another Day, Another NY Gubernatorial Clown Incident

Or, should that be "Goobernatorial?"

David Paterson's ethical challenges begin to approach the level of slapstick:

Gov. David A. Paterson violated state ethics laws when he secured free tickets to the opening game of the World Series from the Yankees last fall for himself and others, the New York State Commission on Public Integrity charged on Wednesday. The accusation came as the governor, already mired in scandal, met with his cabinet and insisted he would stay in office.

In addition to violating the state’s ban on gifts to public officials, Mr. Paterson falsely testified under oath that he had intended to pay for the tickets for his son and his son’s friend, according to the commission. Mr. Paterson had never intended to pay for the tickets, the commission determined, and did so only after inquiries from the news media, after which he submitted a backdated check as payment.

Paterson back-dated the check? Are you effing kidding me?

7 "al Qaeda" Lawyers Outed

Here are the names of the so-called "al Qaeda seven". I'm not sure why some consider the fact that top Obama appointees at Justice who worked in some capacity to defend Guantanamo Detainees is a "conflict of interest". I don't think conflict of interest is the problem at all.

The problem is with an administration that thinks Guantanamo was the problem, not the terrorists. These appointees are only symptoms, Obama the problem.

The Obama administration wants justice.

I don't want justice. I want vengeance and victory. I want to impose America's will on her enemies.

I want to crush our enemies, see them driven before us, and to hear the lamentation of their women.

I don't want justice. I want to win.

Dirty Kafir: Dobbs, Beck, Palin, Bachmann Share Blame For Rise in Right-Wing Extremism, Says Activist Group

Director of Southern Poverty Law Center,Mark Potok, is a wacko[link..ABC]

Anti-government sentiments in the U.S. have reached levels so high they could result in another attack like the Oklahoma City bombing, according to a report released Tuesday by an organization that tracks right-wing extremists – and the authors of the report place part of the blame on Lou Dobbs, Glenn Beck, Rep. Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin[...]

"We've seen more threats and actual attacks in the past 18 months than we've seen at any given period over the past 15 years," claimed Potok.

Potok said he blames some public personalities and conservative politicians for inciting fear.

Skin heads, white supremacists, KKK, etc are grouped as right wing extremists. Conservatives? Please.

I am still waiting for a report on Islamic extremists.>>>>>>crickets<<<<<<<<

UK Airline Worker Arrested in Terror Sting

All that we know about the guy is that he's 30, works for British Airways at one of their call centers, and is Asian -- which is what Brits call people from India and Pakistan. He was arrested for raising funds for terrorism.

I guess the danger here wasn't that he would personally be blowing up airplanes, it was that he had access to information which could be used in planning. But it doesn't seem like where he worked was as important in this case.

Times:

The alleged plot to raise funds for a terrorist attack – possibly on an airline – is thought to have been uncovered following a tip-off.

The employee was among 800 staff dealing with passenger bookings in one of BA’s two UK-based call centres.

Staff can access to details of thousands of flights and are familiar with basic security procedures.

I'm not sure how relevant his work place is, other than it's alarming that someone with terror sympathies works for any airlines. It's not like he was a pilot, or even a baggage handler, both jobs in the wrong hand could be bad news.

But there is the outside possibility that someone with access to who was on what flights could use that information to choose a flight with a politically valuable target on it.

Irregardless, the arrest serves to remind us that Britain has a serious problem with would-be terrorists and jihad sympathizers. Unfortunately, we have the same problem.

Michael Yon: Bridge Update -Menard vs. Carter (UPDATE)

fb_yon.jpgVia link from Michael Yon

KABUL, Afghanistan -- The Canadian military in Afghanistan emphatically denied Wednesday a claim by an American blogger popular among soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan that Canada's commander, Brig.-Gen. Daniel Menard, should be fired for not having prevented an attack on a bridge near the Kandahar Airfield where an American soldier and four Afghan civilians died Monday.

Blogger Michael Yon, a former Special Forces soldier who has sometimes had strained relations with the U.S. and British military bureaucracy because of his writing, alleged Canadian troops were not providing security as they should have because they and Brig.-Gen. Menard were watching the Olympic men's hockey gold medal game on television at the time of the attack and that the U.S. should take over his command before a major offensive that will likely begin late this spring. [More..]

Read the full story from Yon on this here

Update: Yon sent this to the National Post regarding shoddy war reporting;

Two questions are posed to "National Post" Editor-in-Chief Mr. Douglas Kelly:

Mr. Douglas Kelly,

Have read the recent National Post story regarding the Tarnak River bridge that was blown up on 01 March 2010 in Kandahar.

Would you kindly clarify for readers approximately how much time journalists, under direct employment from National Post, have spent in Afghanistan?

Do you have someone here now?

Thank you,


Michael Yon

UPDATE: Yon
Summary of meeting with Brigadier General Ben Hodges: The result was unexpected. General Hodges courageously accepted full responsibility. My respect for him doubled in about 30 seconds. Henceforth, Strykers will "own" the bridge. Bottom line: problem solved. BREAK. Something very important came up tonight, so will ...give accounting Friday. The accounting will include an apology from me to General Menard.
He's man enough to admit when he is wrong.

YouTube: Nidal Hassan Did the Right Thing by Imam Anwar Al-Awlaki (Hafidhullah)

YouTube still hasn't taken it down...gawd. From YouTube user MuslimaAicha

Video and English translation below fold:
UPDATE: Commenter of the day, and no, there wasn't a sarc tag....waiting.

LGR
Wait. I'm confused. You guys do believe in the 1st Amendment as it stands or... don't you? So you are against what the US Constitution says? So you want to CHANGE the constitution to suit your needs? So you are undermining the United States! You are TERRORISTS. Yep.

More info on "how to" here

Nidal Hassan Did the Right Thing by Imam Anwar Al-Awlaki (Hafidhullah).

"Nidal Hassan is a hero. He is a man of conscience who could not bear living the contradiction of being a Muslim and serving in an army that is fighting against his own people. This is a contradiction that many Muslims brush aside and just pretend that it doesnt exist. Any decent Muslim cannot live, understanding properly his duties towards his Creator and his fellow Muslims, and yet serve as a US soldier. The US is leading the war against terrorism which in reality is a war against Islam. Its army is directly invading two Muslim countries and indirectly occupying the rest through its stooges.

Nidal opened fire on soldiers who were on their way to be deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. How can there be any dispute about the virtue of what he has done? In fact the only way a Muslim could Islamically justify serving as a soldier in the US army is if his intention is to follow the footsteps of men like Nidal.

The heroic act of brother Nidal also shows the dilemma of the Muslim American community. Increasingly they are being cornered into taking stances that would either make them betray Islam or betray their nation. Many amongst them are choosing the former. The Muslim organizations in America came out in a pitiful chorus condemning Nidals operation.

The fact that fighting against the US army is an Islamic duty today cannot be disputed. No scholar with a grain of Islamic knowledge can defy the clear cut proofs that Muslims today have the right -rather the duty- to fight against American tyranny. Nidal has killed soldiers who were about to be deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan in order to kill Muslims. The American Muslims who condemned his actions have committed treason against the Muslim Ummah and have fallen into hypocrisy.

Allah(swt) says: Give tidings to the hypocrites that there is for them a painful punishment.

Those who take disbelievers as allies instead of the believers. Do they seek with them honor [through power]? But indeed, honor belongs to Allah entirely. (al-Nisa 138-139)

The inconsistency of being a Muslim today and living in America and the West in general reveals the wisdom behind the opinions that call for migration from the West. It is becoming more and more difficult to hold on to Islam in an environment that is becoming more hostile towards Muslims.

May Allah grant our brother Nidal patience, perseverance and steadfastness and we ask Allah to accept from him his great heroic act.

Ameen"

Yemen Finally Admits al Qaeda Strike Killed 42 Civilians

A senior Yemeni defense official admitted on Wednesday that a December 17 air strike against al Qaeda in southern Yemen killed scores of civilians and not 30 al Qaeda operatives as the government previously insisted.

The strike has been touted by both US and Yemeni officials as evidence of Yemen’s newly found commitment to battling an increasingly active Yemeni al Qaeda affiliate. Within hours of the bombing, U.S. President Barack Obama called Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh, saying the operation "confirms Yemen's resolve in confronting the danger of terrorism represented by al Qaeda for Yemen and the world," Yemen's state media reported.

Witness testimony and photographic evidence disputing the Yemeni government’s claims surfaced within a day of the air strike. A parliamentary fact finding committee documented that 42 civilians, mainly women and children, were killed. Seventy were hospitalized with injuries.

After months of delays, Deputy Prime Minister for Defense and Security Rashad al-Alimi appeared for Parliament’s debate on the air strike. "We work, and anyone who works makes mistakes," he said.

"We apologize to those innocent citizens killed in the operation against al-Qaeda organization in Abyan," al-Alimi said. He also said the government would pay compensation.

State Jihaddist or Al Qaeda?

Only two al-Qaeda members were killed in the raid including Mohammed Saleh al-Kazemi, a Saudi living in Yemen since his return from fighting in Afghanistan. Al Kazemi was imprisoned in Yemen for two years before his release in 2005 without a trial.

He was on a most wanted list of 154 al Qaeda-linked militants, a Yemeni official told the New York Times. Al Kazemi helped plan a July 2007 suicide attack that killed seven Spanish tourists and two Yemeni guides at the Sun temple in the province of Marib, the official said. The al Qaeda deputy also provided safe haven to foreign al Qaeda militants operating in Yemen, the official said.

However a Member of Parliament for the opposition Islah party said the al Kazemi had close ties to Yemeni security forces. In a February interview with al Sahwa, Abdul Karim Shiban said that the two alleged al Qaeda operatives traveled back and forth from Shabwa to Abyan openly since their release from prison. The men were digging a well at the time of the raid, and could have been easily captured he said. Mr. Shiban also said the men used to chew khat with security officials and received an allowance from the state.

The enmeshment of al Qaeda and Yemen’s security forces complicates counter-terror operations. Yemen’s Political Security Organization was not informed of the air raid until it was over, the Washington Post reported.

At a Parliamentary session in March 2009, MPs from both the ruling party and opposition said that the Yemeni government had provided aid to terrorists, the Yemen Post reported. MP Sakhr Al-Wajih said the government was involved in many terrorist acts which took place in the past years. The session followed a suicide attack on South Korean investigators, who had arrived in Yemen to aid authorities in the investigation of the murder of four South Korean tourists.

The US is increasing military funding to Yemen from the $67 million spent in 2009 to $150 million for fiscal year 2010. The funds are to be used to repair and service 10 Mi-17 helicopters, and to provide four Huey IIs and train Yemeni crews to operate and maintain them.

Morocco - Moroccan police have dismantled a terrorist network that was "active in several towns" of the north African kingdom, the state security service announced on Tuesday.

The network included six members who "were planning to commit terrorist acts inside the national territory," the security service said in a statement, without saying when the arrests took place.

We've Taken Marjah, Now Can We Hold it?

In head to head combat we always win. It's not even close. The question is what do we do with the territory once we win? It's one of the reasons I've been so critical of the Afghanistan surge: I just don't think we've sent enough troops, nothing near what we did in Iraq.

But Jeff Dressler at the Institute for the Study of War has a new study out on phase II of Operation Moshtarek which I thought illustrated some interesting points. Key facts from the report:

* The hard core fighters staying behind include many foreigners. A compound search revealed photos of fighters posing with weapons, Taliban ID cards, and a graduation diploma from a training camp in Baluchistan.
Baluchistan would be in Pakistan. Its capital is Quetta, where the Taliban, until recently, held court. More:
* There is ample evidence to suggest that insurgents are sheltering in and amongst civilians in crowded areas to purposely draw fire and cause civilian causalities. An Afghan Brig. Gen. reported that insurgents may have ordered women and children to stand on the roof of buildings where Taliban fighters are shooting.
This is win-win for the Taliban. They know our soldiers have orders not to shoot back if there are civilians in the way. But if we do shoot back and civilians are killed, they can then blame us for killing civilians.
* One challenge for Marines and ANA will be holding the cleared terrain in order to prevent enemy fighters from reinfiltrating the area and conducting attacks.

* Now that the Taliban and narcotics elements have largely been driven out, there will be a major push for crop substitution – mainly wheat. This will be a tough sell.

Taliban cave network found in Pakistan mountains (Over looking Bajaur: Updated Bumped Sticky)(UPDATED: Video added)

Sticky, scroll down for newer posts

Something tells me this wasn't meant for the grunts.

Telegraph

Pakistan's army has discovered a complex network of 156 caves used by the Taliban and al-Qaeda dug into rocky mountains close to the Afghan border.

The tunnels, which are thought to have been created over five to seven years, were carved into sheer rock within view of the snow-capped peaks of eastern Afghanistan.

The network was found during an offensive against Islamist militants in the country's semi-autonomous tribal areas in which 75 militants were killed.


lMaj Gen Tariq Khan said the caves served as a key militant headquarters until troops overran the complex in the offensive.

"There were Egyptians, Uzbeks, Chechens and Afghans killed in the operation," he said.

Bedding including pillows and mattresses were found in the caves in Damadola, in the Bajaur tribal region, suggesting inhabitants had camped out for significant periods.

Maj Gen Khan added: "Al-Qaeda was there. They had occupied the ridges. There were 156 caves designed as a defensive complex.

A person could stay hidden for years in a complex this big.........just saying.

HUGE UPDATE:(Matt Damon) I knew a cave complex this big housed a HVT....comfirmed!

DAMADOLA, Pakistan—Pakistani forces have seized a key al Qaeda and Taliban stronghold along the border with Afghanistan that once served as a hideout for Ayman al Zawahiri, second-in-command to Osama bin Laden.

The capture of Damadola, a district in the Bajaur tribal region, is a major success in Pakistan's counterinsurgency campaign. The area had long been dominated by insurgents operating on both sides of the Pakistan-Afghanistan border

Iran Executes 440 in One Year

Iranhangings0303.jpg

National Council of Resistance of Iran:

NCRI - The clerical regime announced Saturday the execution of eight prisoners. The executions are aimed to increase the atmosphere of intimidation in the country prior to a mass protest planned for March 16, the Persian traditional annual fire festival.

According to reports by the state-run media on February 27, five of the prisoners identified as Rouhollah Kh., Saeed M., Shokrollah N., Fereydoun N., and Zabihollah Kh. were hanged in Kerman, southeast Iran. Three other men were hanged in Birjand for allegedly killing number of policemen.

The total number of executions based on state-run media reports since the beginning of the current Iranian year (started on March 21, 2009) has passed 440. The true figure for executions is much higher as this does not cover the secret executions and the ones not reported by the media or people killed in streets by suppressive forces. In the past, the clerical regime has executed many political prisoners as ordinary criminals and drug traffickers.

The Iranian Resistance calls on all international human rights organizations, in particular the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Working Group on Arbitrary Detention and Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions to condemn barbaric capital punishments in Iran and take urgent measures to put an end to the current inhumane trend in Iran.

Yousef al-Khattab has left the USA because the NYPD was just about to arrest him on bomb threat charges and I’m sure they were looking at any connections between Queens Jihadi Yousef al-Khattab and Queens subway bomb plotter Najibullah Zazi.

Imperial Good News: More Filthy Kufr Taliban Dead in Pakistan

CNN:

CNN) -- Two key Taliban commanders were killed in a shootout with security forces in the most recent Pakistani offensive against the Islamic militants, according to the Pakistani military.

Two "important terrorist commanders" were killed during ongoing operations near Peshawar dubbed Spring Cleaning, the Pakistani military said in a news release Tuesday.

The commanders were identified as Muhammad Tufail, also known as Abdullah, and Muhammad Iqbal.

Authorities said Tufail was a commander who was involved in missile and rocket attacks on Nowshera Cantt and another attack on a mosque in Nowshera.

Iqbal was a key supplier of suicide bombing jackets and explosives to Islamabad and other cities in Pakistan, according to the military.

Death to these filthy Kufr!

Fatwa Issued Against Suicide Bombers

The Independent:

British imams must do more to condemn terrorism without any "ifs or buts" and should pronounce suicide bombers as "unbelievers" who are destined for hell, a leading Islamic scholar declared yesterday.

The comments were made during a remarkable assault on the ideology of violent Islamist extremists by Pakistani-born Sheikh Tahir ul-Qadri, a prominent theologian who launched a seminal fatwa in London yesterday condemning terrorism in all its forms.

He also denounced those who try to justify suicide bombings by claiming Muslims who carry out such operations are martyrs destined for paradise. "They can't claim that their suicide bombings are martyrdom operations and that they become the heroes of the Muslim umma [Islamic community]," he said. "No, they become the heroes of hellfire and they are leading towards hellfire. There is no place for any martyrdom and their act is never, ever to be considered jihad [holy struggle]."

Dr Qadri's ruling also goes further than most previous edicts by describing terror acts as so morally unjustifiable that they represent acts of "kufr" (disbelief). Most previous rulings only go as far as calling terrorism "haram" (forbidden). Kufr acts are so serious that those committing them essentially forfeit their right to call themselves Muslims.

al-Qaeda = Filthy Kufr!

AQI Murders 30 in Baqouba

Now that al-Qaeda in Iraq are in a hopeless situation, they try to solve it the way al-Qaeda always tries to solve their problems. Murder.

Yahoo:BAGHDAD – A string of three deadly suicide bombings killed 30 people in the former insurgent stronghold of Baqouba on Wednesday, including a blast from a suicide bomber who rode in an ambulance with the wounded before blowing himself up at a hospital, police said.

U.S. and Iraqi officials have warned repeatedly that insurgents were expected to launch such attacks in an attempt to disrupt the crucial vote. A man purporting to be Abu Omar al-Baghdadi — the leader of an al-Qaida front group in Iraq — has vowed to violently disrupt the vote.

This has no military value, there is nothing AQI can gain they've no hope to gain any victory. How will the bros on the forums defend this senseless killing of Muslims?

Son's of Kanam-i-Kalan To Taliban: GTFO or Be Shot

sonsofafghanistan.jpg
Spiegel:
Last year, at the end of March, the Taliban came to Kanam-i-Kalan for the first time. The men, in their black turbans, roared through the town on motorcycles at night, in groups of up to 20 fighters at a time. They knocked on doors, holding their Kalashnikovs in their hands, expecting the residents to prepare dinner for them.

Most of the residents of Kanam-i-Kalan are Pashtuns, like the Taliban. They remember all too well how harsh and grim life was under the strict regime of the religious zealots, before the Americans drove them out in November 2001. Most never want to live under the heel of the radical Islamists again.

Then the Taliban murdered Abdullah i-Sabaz from Khan Abad, hanging him from a tree for protesting against them. They also shot Mohammed Ismail, a policeman from the neighboring village. The noted attached to his body read: "We will kill anyone who supports the government."

"That was the turning point," says Gafar. ...in late November they made their move. They told the Taliban that they could either leave or be shot. The Islamists left.

That's always the terrorist's view is it not. They want to kill you, but defending yourself is a "crime."

The New Al-Qaeda Has Now Arrived

Everybody is passing this little article around. Not quite sure where it originated. Ansar al-Mujahideen, TheUnjustMedia....they all have it. Oh, its below the fold.

Summary - al-Qaeda of Bin and Zman out, al-Qaeda of smart youths in. They have cool new walkie-talkies (and yes, when you read that you should use the voice of Richard from Tommy Boy) and cool new weapons. Oh, and Yemen is the new base.

Seriously, that is it. My impressed level is probably near Jabba's level with Rancor in the fight against Luke. Meh.

And this picture, thanks to MotiFake.com, accompanies the article. Possible NSFW, especially if you work at a place that really sucks.

The new generation of Al-Qaeda has arrived, and they far more outstanding, compared to Osama and Ayman al-Zawahiri. Observers of the Islamic movements warned about the expansion of Al-Qaeda which already has links with Jihad groups in Yemen, Somalia and other African countries.

This new generation Al-Qaeda, which has links with the Jihad groups in Yemen, and the regional tribes, continues to strengthen their movement's bases in the midst of the weakening of the Yemeni government led by President Ali Abdullah Saleh.

This new generation is different from the previous generation, and it is also different from the previous organizational groups. This new generation is made up of educated people and they are capable of using very advanced and modern equipments especially in the field of communication and weaponry. They have also founded new weapons which are far more superior, an observer said.

This new generation of Al-Qaeda is the new generation of Mujahideen, who would replace Osama and Ayman al-Zawahiri, and they would possess far more excellent capabilities compared to the older generations, especially in the field of weaponry.

They got their educations from the developed countries and are using very advanced communication technology in their movements. This has become a concern for the West, particularly in encountering a new tendency, not only in the Islamic world but also the West. Of course, this is due to no other than the West’s particular bad view on Islam and the Islamic ummah, and their continuing occupations and invasions of the Muslim lands.

It was only recently that a conference organized by ‘The International Center for Future and Strategic Studies’ (ICFS), was held, i.e. on 27th January 2010, in Cairo, using the theme, "The Evolution of Al-Qaeda". This new generation of Al-Qaeda is viewed to become a regional security threat as a result of confrontations with the governments and the camps that serve as the foreign (Western) tools, which today continue to invade and seize the Islamic lands. The conference was attended by various politicians, security bodies and observers of the Islamic Movements, who came from various countries such as Egypt, Yemen, Palestine and other Arab countries.

Makram Mohammed Ahmed, a writer and chief of the Egyptian Syndicate of Journalists, who was the main speaker, warned about the risks posed by local organizations which have connections with Al-Qaeda, which according to him could have influence on the political life of Egypt after their failure in America. Akram gave the rise of Al-Qaeda in Yemen as an example, after their failure in Iraq, they moved to Yemen. They are able to develop their strength quickly, especially with the presence of the multitudes of militant groups which could become the potential new generation of Al-Qaeda. Today, there exists what is called Al-Qaeda in the ‘Arab Peninsula’, under the leadership of Abu Bashir al-Wahayshi, who came from Yemen.

The chief of the Egyptian Syndicate of Journalists is confident that Al-Qaeda is now developing its bases in Yemen, and it has become a factor in the new threats for the region. The rise of Al-Qaeda, along with the Salafi Jihadi groups and the al-Shabab Movement in Somalia, will make them a great power in the future. This will certainly become a threat to the allies of the West (America). This is what really worries some observers and the presidents and kings, who are no longer trusted by their citizens as they are too close to the West, which have already committed countless slaughtering and destruction of the Islamic ummah, like what is happening in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia

According to Prof. Fuad Salabi, from the University of Yemen, and Abdul Rahim, who head the research body, the Arab Center for Reseach and Studies, asserted, “The phenomenon of the new generation of Al-Qaeda and their orientation, is something new and with their educational background, as well as their capabilities in developing organizations, communications and new weapons which are advanced, they are a new breed of Al-Qaeda,” Rahim said.

Al-Qaeda and the Jihadi Salafi groups, are a new kind of Islamic Movement, which carry out resistance against the Western form of invasions and secularism (materialism), which now is threatening the Muslims.

LOL: "Coffee Party" Founder is a Tea Party-hating Obamacrat

But but but she spoke in such warm, inviting, dulcet tones in the fawning profiles in the NYT and Washington Post (who both ignored the Tea Party movement until it was too big to ignore).

Per usual, a few minutes on Google would have revealed who this worm really is...and she's a former strategy analyst for the NYT, no less! DAMN YOU, GOOGLE!

She's an Obamacrat - a rabid one, at that (read her Tweets). This is nothing more than part of the ongoing, endless, perpetual Obama campaign. The campaign this time, however, is to distract and deflect your attention from what a cataclysmic failure he has been.

And it ain't working, sweetie.

Predator Strike Kills Taliban Leader Mohammed Qari Zafar (Bumped and Updated)

zafar.jpg

Yahoo News:

ISLAMABAD – A Taliban commander wanted in the deadly 2006 bombing of the U.S. consulate in Karachi was killed in a suspected CIA missile strike in northwest Pakistan, officials said Thursday — the latest blow in a crackdown on militants in the region.

Mohammed Qari Zafar was among at least 13 people killed Wednesday when three missiles slammed into a compound and a vehicle in the Dargah Mandi area of the North Waziristan tribal region on the border with Afghanistan, two Pakistani intelligence officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.

OK now I'm going to preempt buzzkill Bill Roggio by adding that the source is Pakistani Intelligence. An oxymoron for sure.

So take this with a grain of salt until further confirmation. We'll hold off on Hammer time for now.

Update: Confirmed by the Taliban. Bill Roggio has more.

Oh, and here is what the big bad Taliban have to say.

''The mujahideen will soon take revenge against the Pakistani government for his killing anywhere in the country, and we had sex with your mom, and you're dumb"

More Dead Taliban?

Super!

Sources said that former Taliban commander in Buner, Muhammad Alam, Matta tehsil commander Shamsul Haq, and their accomplices Abdullah, Muhammad Musafir and Sher Zaman were found at a roadside in Madyan area.

Alam had a price tag on his gourd so I hope the sources are a little more accurate than usual.

al-Qaeda - "Old Evil With A New Name"

The boys at Ansar al-Mujahideen are all bent out of shape about Dr Tahir ul-Qadri. He is a Muslim scholar with a large following in Britain, born in Pakistan, and founder of the global Minhaj-ul-Quran movement.

So the good Dr issued a fatwa condemning global terrorism and suicide bombings.

The 600 page fatwa says that “suicide bombings and attacks against civilian targets are not only condemned by Islam, but render the perpetrators totally out of the fold of Islam, in other words, to be unbelievers.”

And Xinhuanet has this:

Shahid Mursaleen, spokesman for Minhaj-ul-Quran in the UK, said the fatwa was hard-hitting and would "inject doubt into the minds of potential suicide bombers."

Of course, the misguided youths at the forums, I'm looking at you Censored31, remind the cult followers that martyrdom is not suicide and those who are killed in a martyrdom operation are not innocent. Oh ya, also, it isn't the brave mujahideen that blow up market places, it's the CIA and Blackwater. Riiiiight.

Shocking! NY Prosecutor Declines to Charge ACORN

Yahoo:

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Employees at the U.S. liberal grass-roots group ACORN who were caught on video giving tax advice to a couple posing as a pimp and a prostitute have been cleared of criminal wrongdoing, New York prosecutors said on Monday.
Background here.

Pakistan Argues Terrorism Charges Against Five American Muslims

Yahoo:

SARGODHA, Pakistan – Prosecutors seeking to indict five Americans on terror-related offenses presented their case to a Pakistani judge Tuesday, laying out charges including waging war against Pakistan and plotting to attack the country, a defense attorney said.

The men, all young Muslims from the Washington, D.C., area, were arrested in December in Punjab province not long after reaching Pakistan. They had been reported missing by their families in November after one left behind a farewell video showing scenes of war and casualties and saying Muslims must be defended.

The men could be indicted on as many as seven charges during their next hearing on March 10, lawyer Hamid Malik told The Associated Press. The judge ordered the defense to review the prosecution report presented in the Sargodha town court and to prepare a rebuttal.

The punishments the men face if convicted could be as severe as life imprisonment.

Their argument is they were only going to kill people in Afghanistan, The Pakistan/Afghanistan border is an imaginary boundary in a borderless war.

Baby Survives Murder Suicide

Gateway Pundit:

A seven-month old baby girl survived a shot to the chest after her parents shot themselves and their two-year-old in a global warming murder-suicide pact.

This is the last public photo of Francisco Lotero before he shot himself, his wife and two-year-old son in response to fears about global warming. (El Litoral)

The New York Post reported: A seven-month-old girl miraculously survived alone for three days after one of her parents shot her in the chest – apparently as part of a bizarre murder-suicide pact blamed on global warming.
That is bizarre...

I was listening to one of those little science clips on NPR yesterday. They were talking about the difference between "weather and climate". Explaining how increased temps added to water vapor thus causing more snow and rain. They never mentioned that snow/ snow cover/ and rain have all been shown to help cool the earth. In other words, its a dynamic system. More warmth begets reactions in weather and the biosphere that tend to have the opposite effect.

Why do they not mention that.

The assumption is that this dynamic system is very sensitive, nor durable. That any reaction will not be enough to offset changes. I seriously doubt that.

Then the piece said that climate change was a threat to humans. I'm not sure if they meant some humans or all humans. It seemed to me all humans was what was meant. Thus adding a bit of fear factor, "GLOBAL WARMING WILL KILL US ALL!!@#@@!!!!".

Now that's the crazy part. Human beings are the most adaptable species on the planet. Before the industrial age ever got started we had already changed the earth forever in our agricultural practices. The statement that humans will not survive climate change is absurd.

Are we all going to die? Yep. Will global warming be the cause, nope. Will humans be "wiped out" over a bit of warming. Ha!

Its this type of political statements, not science, from al-Gore and his buds that scare the living crap out of morons like the ones in the story above.

At least the baby survived, a testament to the fact that as a species we're pretty damn durable and a little bit of warm ain't going to wipe us out. More likely we'd wipe ourselves out.

Adapt we have and adapt we will. We are all we have to fear.

Update: See, what did I tell you.

Nuclear Iran: A Tale of Two Irans

Article at Himalayan Times titled IAEA Chief Accuses Iran Of Non cooperation.

Agence France Presse

VIENNA: The new chief of the UN atomic watchdog, Yukiya Amano, today accused Iran of not cooperating sufficiently with an investigation into its contested nuclear activities.

Nothing new here.

A different take at English People (China English) Iran is fully cooperating with IAEA: foreign minister

Iran has fully cooperated with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said Monday.

"We have fully cooperated with the agency and we will continue to cooperate," Mottaki told a press briefing here.

UK Designates Shabaab Terrorist Organization

From Rahm at Terror Free Somalia: The British government says it is banning the Somali militant group, al-Shabab and designating it a terrorist organization.

It's only been, what, two years since they formally declared allegiance to Osama bin Laden? And the Brits are just now designating the group "terrorist"? With leadership like this, one wonders how the Empire was ever lost!

Chinese Al Qaeda Leader killed in N. Waziristan drone strike (Abdul Haq al-Turkistani)

Dawn

Abdul Haq al-Turkistani, leader of a group called the Turkistani Islamic Party (TIP), was killed in an attack by a US drone aircraft in the North Waziristan region on the Afghan border on Feb. 15, they said.

“Abdul Haq al-Turkistani was among three militants killed,” said a Pakistani intelligence agency official who declined to be identified.

A Taliban militant official also said al-Turkistani had been killed in the US missile strike.

Another one gets his ticket punched.

UPDATE: Abdul Haq al-Turkistani was high on the AQ pecking order including being named to the Shura Majlis (executive council) he was also named a global terrorist by the US Treasury Department in 2009.

Australians Linked to al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula

If these guys are linked to Anwar al-Awlaki, the American traitor who helped inspired both the Fort Hood massacre and the failed attempt to blow up an airliner on Christmas day, then they are also linked to al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Al-Awlaki, it is said, has moved from a cheerleader role to that of an operational planner:

Security agencies are monitoring the movements of at least 20 Australians who have travelled to Yemen in recent years, including friends and family of the nine men recently convicted and sentenced to up to 28 years in prison for preparing for a terrorist act in Sydney.

Authorities have also monitored mobile phone and email communications between some of them and a Yemeni militant group led by American-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who the US claims is a leading recruiter and motivator for al-Qa'ida and its franchise groups.

Shocka!! Two Dubai Suspects Who Offed Hamas Leader Traveled to U.S.

Oh noes, which one of us was it? The plot thickens

DUBAI—At least two of the 26 suspects sought by Dubai police for the alleged killing of a top Hamas leader appear to have entered the U.S. shortly after his death, according to people familiar with the situation.

Records shared between international investigators show that one of the suspects entered the U.S. on Feb. 14, carrying a British passport, according to a person familiar with the situation. The other suspect, carrying an Irish passport, entered the U.S. on Jan. 21, according to this person. Senior Hamas leader Mahmoud al-Mabhouh's body was found in a Dubai hotel room on Jan. 20.

Hmm, could it have been this one? He hid his disguise so well...sigh. He should have left more money under al-Mabhouh's pillow.

UK: This Secretive Agenda Must Be Taken Seriously

shariah_uk.jpg

Or the UK will have istan after its name.[Telegraph]

Radical Muslims, in their unguarded moments, are unrepentant about what they believe to be their religious duty: the replacement of secular, tolerant and liberal democracy in Britain by a rigid theocracy, in which the country is governed by Islamic law.

Those who aspire to that goal are usually, and correctly, dismissed as a tiny minority who are unrepresentative of the moderate majority of British Muslims.[??..ed] But it would be wrong to dismiss the extremists as insignificant. The evidence we publish today suggests that at least one such group has infiltrated parts of the Labour Party, and has taken over important aspects of the running of the London borough of Tower Hamlets.

If the Islamic Forum of Europe (IFE) was open and frank about its aims, voters would be able to make up their own minds about whether they wanted to see its members in any form of government in Britain. It is part of any democratic system worthy of the name that those who abide by the rule of law are entitled to campaign in elections, even if we find their beliefs objectionable. But some members of the IFE demonstrate in private that they have an agenda that they are not willing to share with the electorate.

They have also demonstrated that they are unwilling to abide by the procedures which are essential if elections are to be free and fair. As we report today, Jim Fitzpatrick, the MP for Tower Hamlets, believes that the party has been infiltrated by radical Muslims – just as it was infiltrated in the 1980s by the Militant Tendency. The IFE denies any such campaign. But its denials would be more credible if, in public, the IFE was not presented as simply a "social welfare organisation" committed to "community cohesion" and "tolerance" – while in private, it shows itself to be committed to replacing democracy by a theocracy based on Islamic law.
Yes, these groups are good at Taqiyya (lying for the sake of Islam) while in public as they are here in the U.S.

Enemies from within.

Four Muslims Discharged Over Fort Jackson Threats, Probe Continues

If there was nothing to the allegations, then why were four of the five Muslim soldiers discharged? It seems to me that the earliest reports were wrong that the five Muslims were plotting to poison Fort Jackson's food supply. But later reports that there were nothing to the allegations were also clarified when we learned that the investigation was not into a plot but over comments about poisoning the food.

Let's assume these guys were just cracking jokes. Cracking jokes about poisoning the food is never funny when you're in the military. But if you're a foreign national from a country with a long history of terrorism, or if you're a Muslim, then it ceases to be caddy and unfunny and crosses a line into scary.

Context determines the appropriateness of a comment. And yes, the fact that you are Muslim or from a predominately Muslim country adds appropriate context to your comments. If Billy-Joe-Bubba says he's a terrorist and wants to keeel me, it might be funny. When you do it? Not so much.

But something more than a joke gone awry is at work here. The investigation continues over material found on the four's laptop computers.

Early reports had alleged that some of the accused were in contact with some Virginia North Carolina men who have been indicted on terror related charges. If the four were in contact with some would-be jihadis, then this alone is a serious charge. Especially after Fort Hood and Nidal Hasan.

Post and Courier:

An Army probe into allegations of verbal threats involving a base's food supply has revealed that none of the five soldiers detained was involved in any plot to poison food at the base, a congressman said Sunday....

Four of the soldiers were discharged from the Army for petty crimes, Wilson said, and the fifth was returned to his National Guard unit in Virginia. None of the soldiers has been identified.

U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command spokesman Chris Grey said Sunday that the base's food was never in danger, and the investigation didn't turn up any credible information to support the allegations.

An investigation continues into other possible crimes relating to information found on their laptops, Wilson said. The laptops were turned over to the FBI for analysis.

UK: Those Pesky Youths At It Again (Updated)

Threatening more Tube bombings[NTA]

The UK’s Daily Express reports that secret services are desperately trying to identify an Al Qaeda Lord Haw Haw speaking on a disturbing video threatening more Tube bombings and attacks on the Queen and political leaders.

The British terrorist has a distinct east London accent and is clearly at the heart of all new operations being planned by Osama bin Laden’s terrorist organization.

More on this from Express.Co.UK. They mention the video is called "The West & the Dark Tunnel. There is a group of old videos (Oct 09) narrated by American turned alQaeda terrorist Adam Gadahn. Unable to find this certain one, if indeed it in this group of vids or a new one from this user: JihadMediaTV

Like Lord Haw Haw broadcasting from Nazi Germany in the war, the sinister propagandist tries to rile followers against Britain and introduces a message smuggled out of jail from Abu Qatada, who has been described as Al Qaeda’s ambassador to Europe.

The film, ominously called The West and The Dark Tunnel, depicts a graphic showing train lines leading into a tunnel.

There are also shots of the 7/7 London bombings with an underlying threat that more actions are being actively planned.

BTW, JihadMediaTV needs to be gone, just sayin.

UPDATE: Cyber Jihad Denied!!

By Stable Hand at 10:47 AM | |

2nd Video of Cyberjihadi CIA Bomber (Voicoever by Adam Gadahn)

This is the second video released of Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balaw, the former cyberjihadi who called himself Abu Dujana al-Khurasa, who killed seven CIA officials in Afghanistan. Even though the operation was alleged to have been planned by the Taliban, the video comes from al Qaeda's as Sahab arm.

Worst news of all? Unless I miss my mark, the English voice filling in for al-Balaw is that of American traitor Adam Gadahn. Fat bastard is alive.

I'll go ahead and put the entire video below the fold. I'll note, though, that the video was posted at YouTube on the Islam is Truth channel. It belongs to the New York based Revolution Muslim, which explains the branding they've put on the video as it starts. Feel free to mark it for abuse.

UPDATE: Watch all the way to the fifth part where al-Balawi exhorts people over and over again to kill any one who has anything to do with Jordanian intelligence -- even cooks! But what is interesting is that he says not to consult with any one many many times, just to kill them with out consulting any one.

It's an exhortation to individual acts of jihad, because he knows that any plot involving two or more people is likely to be detected.

UPDATE: Entire text of the video is here.

Barack Obama is still struggling to kick smoking, according to his first medical examination since becoming president.

Obama is sensitive about his cigarette habit and tetchy with reporters who raise it. But after his 90-minute medical at the Navy hospital outside Washington yesterday morning, his doctors confirmed he had not yet managed to conquer the habit and suggested he "continue smoking cessation efforts".

Look the man eats right, plays ball, has his finger on the wed button, lives with Michelle..... etc etc.
