Abdulhakim Muhammad: “It Wasn’t Murder, It Was War”

by Baron Bodissey

I asserted last night that Pvt. William Andrew Long should be classified as a battlefield casualty, since he was killed by a self-declared Muslim mujahid in an ongoing war against the United States.

The accused murderer, Abdulhakim Muhammad, continues to make my case for me. By now the Obama administration must fervently wish that this poster boy for Islamic peacefulness and tolerance would shut up.

Notice that Mr. Muhammad’s latest media announcement was made via a collect call to the AP from his jail cell in Arkansas:

Suspect in Soldier Shooting Says He Was Justified

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A Muslim convert charged with fatally shooting an American soldier at a military recruiting center said Tuesday that he doesn’t consider the killing a murder because U.S. military action in the Middle East made the killing justified.

“I do feel I’m not guilty,” Abdulhakim Muhammad told The Associated Press in a collect call from the Pulaski County jail. “I don’t think it was murder, because murder is when a person kills another person without justified reason.”

[…]

“Yes, I did tell the police upon my arrest that this was an act of retaliation, and not a reaction on the soldiers personally,” Muhammad said. He called it “a act, for the sake of God, for the sake of Allah, the Lord of all the world, and also a retaliation on U.S. military.”

No doubt President Obama, like President Bush before him, would assert that Abdulhakim Muhammad is not a true Muslim, because real Muslims don’t commit such heinous acts. But Mr. Muhammad considers himself an authentic Muslim, and so do many other Muslims who slaughter innocent people in the name of Allah.

Thousands upon thousands of Muslims across the globe do the same thing, and consider themselves good Muslims as a result of their actions. Who are we to dispute their definition of their own religion?

How is it that Presidents Bush and Obama know more about the meaning of Islam than Muslims themselves?

The article continues:

In the interview, Muhammad also disputed his lawyer’s claim that he had been “radicalized” in a Yemeni prison and said fellow prisoners that some call terrorists were actually “very good Muslim brothers.”

And indeed they are, in the eyes of many (possibly a majority) of their fellow Muslims.

This incident seems to be yet another instance of Sudden Jihad Syndrome.

He also said he didn’t specifically plan the shootings that morning.

“It’s been on my mind for awhile. It wasn’t nothing planned really. It was just the heat of the moment, you know,” said Muhammad, who was arrested on a highway shortly after the attack.

Mr. Muhammad’s phone call was in defiance of a gag order designed to protect his right to a fair trial:

Gag Order Issued in Army Recruiter Shooting Case

One has to wonder why this case, which has received so little coverage already, will now receive none. I guess the Americans are worried that openly discussing the facts in this case might offend the Muslim community. The same Muslim community that supplied the religious teachings responsible for this American citizen to become a Jihadist. Muhammad’s lawyer will try to convince the courts he was indoctrinated to hate during his two week incarceration in Yemen. When in fact he was turned here in America and went to Yemen to meet, greet and support Jihadist there.

[I would like to add a weird thought of my own. It seems to me that this soldier should get a full military funeral for death in action. Clearly he deserves one and not to give him one would be a crime. However, if he does get one, it would be de facto admission that the USA is at war WITH ISLAM. Now this would make a fool of Obama and waste a lot of time he spent on his reach out to the Muslim world tour, but there seems no way out of this one to me. Eeyore for Vlad]

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. —  A judge has issued a gag order in the capital murder case against the man accused of killing one soldier and wounding another at a military recruiting office in Arkansas.

Judge Alice Lightle issued the order Monday after prosecutors requested it to block court officials and police from discussing the case.

Jim Hensley, attorney for suspect Abdulhakim Muhammad, said last week his client was influenced by hardened terrorists with whom he was jailed in Yemen.

Muhammad allegedly wanted to kill as many soldiers as he could because of harm he believed the military has done to Muslims.

Killed at the west Little Rock office was Army Pvt. William Long of Conway, who had just completed basic training and never saw combat.

Convert to Islam: Andrew Ibrahim before became a devout Muslim

A hospital consultant’s son kept a suicide vest and explosives at his home ready for a terrorist attack, a court heard yesterday.

Andrew Ibrahim, who was educated at a leading public school, is said to have come under the spell of radicals after converting to Islam.

He watched videos of extremists such as Abu Hamza, Omar Bakri Mohammed and the 7/7 bombers, Winchester Crown Court heard.

He allegedly surveyed targets in preparation for a terrorist attack after likening the UK to ‘living in a dirty toilet’. Continue Reading →

An Open Letter to President Obama and the Muslim World

May 29, 2009

Dear Mr. President:

As you prepare for your historic address to the Muslim world in Cairo on June 4th, I would
like to offer an American Muslim perspective on what governments, leaders and individuals
can do to improve the prospects for international peace and prosperity.

As an American, I will first focus on what you can do to help repair relations with the Muslim
world that have suffered such damage in recent years. Your statements since the inauguration
have raised the level of hope for real change in our nation’s foreign and domestic policies.

It is imperative that your positive statements now be backed up with concrete policy
initiatives that will help move us all toward a more peaceful and prosperous future. Otherwise,
we as a nation risk wasting the good will that has been garnered by your ongoing outreach to
Muslims.

First, America must champion political and religious freedom, human rights, the growth and
stabilization of democratic institutions, and respect for the rule of law for everyone, not just
those we favor. For too long, we have claimed to be champions of freedom and democracy,
while turning a blind eye to repression, occupation and authoritarian rule. We must hold every
nation, even those we regard as allies, to a uniform standard of justice and equality. No other
action will do more to restore America’s international reputation.

Second, we should do what is necessary to resolve long-standing conflicts, and particularly the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict, that are the main source of anti-American feeling in the Muslim
world.

Now is the time to tell Israeli leaders that we will no longer support the denial of the
legitimate rights of the Palestinian people and that we will take concrete actions to back up
that declaration. Israel’s wall of separation must come down, humiliating roadblocks must be
removed, the illegal settlements must be dismantled, food and other essential supplies must
flow freely, Palestinian rights must be restored, and a viable and independent Palestinian state
must be created and supported.

We should address the conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan based on a reduction in our
nation’s intervention and on increased support for indigenous solutions based on the will of
the people and the decisions of democratic governments.

1
2
Third, our nation’s elected representatives, religious leaders, commentators, and citizens of all
faiths must speak out forcefully against the rising level of anti-Muslim rhetoric and
discrimination in our society.

Prior to the 9/11 attacks, Islamophobia of the type we see today was at the margins of public
discourse. Unfortunately, today it is quite common to see and hear the faith of Islam
denigrated in newspaper columns, on talk radio and in religious sermons nationwide. Few in
the Muslim world will listen to our calls for openness and reform while the faith they hold dear
is being vilified.

Silence on this growing phenomenon is un-American and betrays the values of inclusiveness
and religious tolerance that we all hold dear.

Finally, America needs to engage in internal reform to re-establish our reputation as the
world’s standard bearer of justice.

In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, national security legislation and policies related to detention,
surveillance, torture, the shutting down of American Muslim charities, FBI agent provocateurs
in mosques, citizenship delays, politicized “terror” trials, Justice Department guidelines
allowing race and ethnicity to be factors in opening an investigation, and the dubious activities
of so-called terrorism “fusion centers” have all contributed to a contraction of civil liberties.
Any legislation or government policies that diminish constitutional rights must be re-evaluated
and reversed. We should also change our visa policies to allow Muslim intellectuals and
business leaders to travel to America without fear of humiliation or harassment at points of
entry.

As an American Muslim, I ask leaders, governments and individuals in the Islamic world to
make similar changes and to implement similar reforms.

First, government, civic and religious leaders must foster a culture of respect for human and
minority rights, political and religious dissent, freedom of expression, and the rule of law.

Governments in the Muslim world must encourage full political participation in systems of
government that abide by the separation of powers and are held in check by independent
judiciaries. Leaders and individuals in Muslim nations must also respect the results of free and
fair elections.

Non-governmental entities in the Muslim world must seek partnership with elected officials
and other leaders in each society exclusively through peaceful means.

Second, Muslims worldwide must offer themselves as personal examples of the Islamic values
of compassion, tolerance and moderation. Each individual and family should exemplify the
verse in the Quran, Islam’s revealed text, which states: “And thus have We willed you to be a
community of the middle way, so that [with your lives] you might bear witness to the truth
before all humankind.” (Quran, 2:143)

Each nation should focus on internal dialogue with all members of the society, including
ideological, political and religious dissidents. Good works and public service must replace
overheated rhetoric and wasteful internal power struggles.

And finally, each individual in the Muslim world and elsewhere should dedicate themselves to
the personal improvement that is reflected in the Quranic verse: “Verily, God will never
change the condition of a people until they change that which is within themselves.” (Quran,
13:11)

True peace and understanding will only come when we all – Muslims, Christians, Jews, and
people of other faiths and philosophies – cast off the prejudices and preconceptions of the
past to engage each other based on what we have in common, not on what has separated us
for so long.

I ask you to accept this advice in the sincere spirit it is given and I hope your address in Cairo
will help change the direction of our world from the path to conflict to that of peace and
reconciliation.

As you stated in your inaugural address, a new way forward in partnership with the Muslim
world must be based on “mutual interest and mutual respect.”

This decisive moment in history requires clarity of purpose and a commitment to practical
action that will lead to real change.

Sincerely,

Nihad Awad
National Executive Director
Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)

Now, Mark Levin exposes some of the reasons why it’s nonsense, then I will vivisect it with simple clear facts.

And now, it’s my turn:
Here is a great laugh, paragraph 4:

“First, America must champion political and religious freedom, human rights, the growth and
stabilization of democratic institutions, and respect for the rule of law for everyone, not just
those we favor.”

Let’s have a brief look at human rights in Muslim nations. It has to be brief as a proper one would be an essay the size of a phone book exposing the utter hypocrisy of the paragraph above and would probably have the entire staff of the Canadian Human Rights Commissions at my door drooling at the prospect of taking away any change I may have in the jar and spreading it to the local Immam’s and of course, CAIR-CAN. Truth you may remember, is no defense…

1. Women in Saudi Arabia are not allowed to drive. At all. Because they are women.

2. Women in Saudi Arabia may not be in public without their registered owner with them. An owner must be a father husband or brother of the woman. She may not appear in public without one. If a woman is a widow with no male relatives, she will find it very difficult to have food delivered to her even.

3. In Egypt a woman may not leave the country without her owner’s permission.

4. In Egypt, the Copts, adherents of a  religion which predates Islam there by centuries, may not repair or build new houses of worship. They are often murdered for being Copts and the killers are released.

5. in Iran women are often beaten in the street for not wearing the prescribed cloths of utter submission to Islam by religious police.

Of course, in most of the Muslim world we have ‘blasphemy’ laws which would if used in the west make Islam out and out illegal but are freely enforced against non Muslims even in ‘moderate’ Muslim nations such as Singapore.

Tina Rad beaten in Iran by police for not covering her face etc.

Tina Rad beaten in Iran by police for not covering her face etc.

As I say, a complete list of the hypocrisy in paragraph 4 of CAIR’s letter to Obama would look like a NYC phone book and that’s without even mentioning Darfur, Sudan.

In paragraph 5, we see the now-familiar accusation of negative feelings due to the Arab-Israeli conflict over Israel.

“Second, we should do what is necessary to resolve long-standing conflicts, and particularly the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict, that are the main source of anti-American feeling in the Muslim
world.”

No matter what your stance is on the Israel issue, the fact remains that the Islamic world did not give a sweet god damn for the Palestinians until they realized that they could fabricate a people with a corresponding cause celebre for the Western left. Yassir Arafat himself often condemned Arab and Muslim leaders for never doing a single thing for his cause. The “main source of anti-American feelings” in the Muslim world exists because America consistently manages to do extremely well without being Muslim while the Muslim world continually regresses. It must be a horrible feeling to be a Muslim and see the Americans as the masters of all that they touch without ever darkening the inside of a mosque I understand that. But it has fuck-all to do with Israel, or at least, it didn’t until recently when Arab leaders realized it was an Achilles heel for Western governments thanks to political correctness and morphed antisemitism.

As I have written, in order to properly refute this absurd letter to Obama by CAIR would take a week’s work of 15-hour days just to scratch the surface of the hypocrisy presented here. So I will conclude this with one more point from the middle of page two, paragraph five:

“In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, national security legislation and policies related to detention,
surveillance, torture, the shutting down of American Muslim charities, FBI agent provocateurs
in mosques, citizenship delays, politicized “terror” trials, Justice Department guidelines
allowing race and ethnicity to be factors in opening an investigation, and the dubious activities
of so-called terrorism “fusion centers” have all contributed to a contraction of civil liberties.”

First of all, NO Muslim charities were ever shut down, only organizations which were proven to be fund raisers or front organizations for terrorist groups using real jurisprudence. Secondly, nobody’s civil liberties were compromised, despite the attacks on the US by Muslims in the name of Islamic Jihad, which was why CAIR failed to list a single one of these allegedly “contracted” civil liberties.  I am not just referring to 9/11, either, but rather to all of the known and unknown dozens of major attacks which have been prevented, as well as the minor, successful ones which have succeeded, such as the Washington DC sniper. Furthermore, even if these civil liberties had actually been compromised among members of the Muslim community, which they certainly have not – and I challenge anyone to cite an example of one – even though perhaps some should, the security of the Constitutional rights and civil liberties of Muslims in the US would still be more secure than those of any female or non-Muslim in a Sharia state. Can I be more clear than that?

FANNY TRUCHELOT APPEAL

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanny_Truchelut

“1n 1985, my ex-husband and I (we separated in December 2007 partly as a result of the following events) bought an old, unoccupied summer camp (note: where groups of children used to spend their summer vacations)

I had 2 objectives:

– to create a home for my family (I have 4 children) to accommodate my children,
their spouses and my future grandchildren.

– to finance this enterprise, I turned  this house into a ‘gite’ to accommodate holiday makers. I wanted to create an environment in which conviviality would be paramount.

In December 2004, we opened the house to holiday makers. My son, Antonin set up an Internet site: http://grandesgouttes.free.fr/ –  – which was very active. The orientation that I had taken – a place of hospitality and user-friendliness – was clearly indicated on the site.

From December 2004 to August 2006, that is to say for 1 ½ years, we successfully rented to holidaymakers. Our enterprise took shape. The holiday makers who came were in agreement with this principle and I did not encounter any problem, quite to the contrary.

The Demiati family arrived at my property on August 11, 2006.  They had reserved the accommodation on the Internet.  This family had thus seen our site, which gave a clear description of our services:

Communal Area of 70 m2 (living room – dining room) on the ground floor placed free at your disposal, where you can congregate or meet the other tenants of the house.

This room was not available for private rent.

In this family, there were two women, both veiled. For a few seconds I remained immobile on the staircase asking myself what I should say or do. My past experiences, both as a child and a woman, came back to me and I asked Horia Demiati (HD) and her mother to remove their veils in the communal parts of the house, in particular in the room quoted above.

HD then requested me to return the down payment to her. I went away to look for the cheque which I had not yet cashed, I returned the cheque and the family left.

In requesting HD to remove her veil, I thought of it as an exchange from one woman to another woman. However subsequent events showed me that it was nothing of the sort.  All the Demiati family members are militants: HD is treasurer of the CIFE an organization which militates openly for the wearing of veils in the work place.

I discovered my predicament  ……. in the press in an extremely violent way

A journalist called me on Thursday August 17, 2006, using a well-known tactic of the press; to attack the person interviewed, to comment on the gravity of his act, mentioning on several occasions the consequences (obviously the maximum) to which the person would be likely to be condemned, in short to put the person interviewed in a situation of stress, to make them lose control of the situation.  And the tactic worked.

On the following day the journalist published an article in the newspaper Est Républicain of August 18, 2006, an article with this heading on page one:

RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IN A ‘GITE’

The court will not tolerate racial discrimination, but too late, the evil was done.
However, the presumption of innocence is a basic principle of our Law. This principle means that any individual must be presumed innocent of the charges against him until such time as a judgement is made and a sentence decreed (Article 9 of the Declaration of  Human rights and the Citizen).

Confirmed by the Security Convention of the European Court of the Human rights.

AFP (Agence France Presse) reprinted the article, and a media outburst ensued.

Following these articles, I received threats, sufficiently serious for me to visit the police station on August 29, 2006. I was in an intense state of stress, I feared for our safety and I signed a statement which was retained by the court to condemn me. I was officially advised of the complaint relating to September 12, 2006 one month after the events. Civil action was taken by the MRAP, the LDH and the LICRA.

My lawsuit with Epinal on October 2, 2007.

The civil parties in the case took up the terms of the libellous press campaign, treating me as illiterate and racist.  The lawyer of the MRAP labelled me a catholic fundamentalist, even though none of my children are baptised.

My defense was based, at my request on the issue of Womens’ Rights. , Maître Varaut made a plea which plunged the room into silence. The opposing parties spent all their time insulting me as well as the two women who testified, Anne Zelenski and Annie Sugier.

At the end of the hearing, when the Vice-president of the court asked me whether I had anything to add, I spoke only about Anne (Zelenski) and Annie (Sugier), reminding the lawyers Welzer, Tubiana and Bouvier, that if one day, they defend a beaten woman, that they remember them, because it was they who created the first refuge for beaten women in 1978. But it was not until 1992, 14 years later that a law was introduced to repress marital violence.

I was found guilty of religious discrimination and received 4 months of suspended sentence and a fine of  €8.490. (fuller details about the judgement can be found on my site):

The court decided to condemn me from a passage of my deposition of August 29, 2006.

Extracts of the judgement: Given  that Mrs Yvette Idoux married Truchelut report in these terms what occurred: “last August 11, we received a family which had reserved a lodging, family that we refused to lodge, my husband and I, due to two women wearing veils, members of  this family, women who refused  our request  to withdraw this ostentatious sign of their religion in the common parts of the lodging” (statement of the 29/08/2006).

Given  that it thus appears, unambiguous  that Mrs Truchelut subordinated the hiring of her lodging to the removal by Mesdames HD and her mother of their veil, with the reason that this constituted, according to her own expression, “ostentatious sign of their religion”.

Thus, the common parts became the hiring of the lodging.  The court did not take into account either the fact that it was HD who decided to leave or that I at no time requested it.

My appeal in Nancy

I was attacked via Internet for having been defended by Maître Varaut. They said I should not be supported because of that. Thinking that it was important to win such a lawsuit and wishing as much as possible to gather people behind this cause, I changed lawyer and took somebody who did not have any “label”. Serious error on my part.  Maître Varaut was only an excuse to allow a great number not to implicate themselves.

Unfavourable side, one takes the same ones and one starts again, even insults and low blows.

My guilt was confirmed, I was condemned to 2 months of suspended sentence and 6.000 € of damages.

My personal situation

At Christmas 2006 I received new phone calls from people with surnames of North African origin wishing to rent for Christmas, which  made me fear new provocations. I again felt trapped and I decided to stop letting rooms with all the financial consequences that can be imagined.  The property can be repossessed and sold without our permission, which will not be easy because it is located in a remote place in the mountain.

My father sent me to work in a factory at 14 years old and I have always worked since. I am 56 years old and I am separated from my husband. I have 2 more dependent children. I am entitled to a pension which I will not be able to touch until I am 60 years old. Currently I live on an allowance which enables me to live or rather to survive but I am unable to pay  the € 6000 damages plus interest for which I was scandalously condemned. The decision was made executory, i.e. I must pay the associations known as human rights organizations (MRAP and LICRA) who did not hesitate for one moment to send a bailiff to threaten me to seize my pieces of furniture.

Your assistance would be most welcome. For those who wish to help me financially:

Muslims against jihad, banned by PBS

This is an auto play thing. Watch each segment in order here. Well worth it.

Hat tip Jdamn

Muslims riot in Greece over rumor of someone mistreating Koran, and British people protest in Luton to preserve their own culture.

Which people will be maligned and denigrated as racists? The ones burning cars and throwing slabs of rock at police, or the ones asking that they be allowed to maintain their own history and values in their own historical nation?

And now, The ‘riots’ in Luton by British people. I have been to keggers more dangerous than this.

Thanks to Weasel Zippers and Shawarma Mayor who dug out the AP description of the Greek riots as a ‘march’ while the perfectly law abiding protest in Luton UK is being referred to as a riot.

Would be nice to see the evidence of the violence that caused the 9 arrests and would be interesting to compare it to the now constant riots in Sweden; Greece; France and so on which garner no arrests.

The Telegraph calls this man an ‘activist’

Two interesting lists of Muslim attacks in the US foiled and not.

First, a list of attacks on Jews on the US by the religion of peace brought to you by bare naked Islam:

The arrest yesterday of four would-be jihadis before they could attack two synagogues in New York City brings to mind a long list of terrorist assaults in the United States by Muslims on Jews. These began in 1977 and have continued regularly since, as suggested by the following list of major incidents (ignoring lesser ones that did damage only to property, such a series of attacks on Chicago-area synagogues):

  • March 1977: Hanafi Muslims seized three buildings in Washington, including the headquarters of B’nai B’rith, and held hostages for 39 hours, leading to one death and one severe injury.

  • November 1990: El Sayyid Nosair assassinated Rabbi Meir Kahane in a New York hotel.

  • February 1993: Ramzi Yusuf, the mastermind of the bombing of the World Trade Centerin New York, which claimed 7 lives and injured more than a thousand people,, declared the towers not a civilian target but a military one, by virtue of the fact that it might house a “Zionist official.”

  • June 1993: “Boom! Broken windows. Jews in the street,” is how one of the plotters described the carnage that would ensue from a planned “day of terror” with simultaneous bombings of the United Nations complex, the Lincoln and Holland tunnels, and other New York landmarks.

  • March 1994: Rashid Baz, a Palestinian immigrant, opened fire on a van carrying Orthodox Jewish boys across the Brooklyn Bridge, killing 16-year-old Ari Halberstam.

  • July 1997: ‘Ali Hasan Abu Kamal, a 69-year-old Palestinian, shot seven tourists atop theEmpire State building, killing one and severely wounding another; in his suicide note, he accused the United States of using Israel as “an instrument” against the Palestinians.

  • July 1997: Ghazi Ibrahim Abu Maizar’s near-explosion of a pipe bomb in the New York City subway system.

  • July 2002: Hesham Mohamed Ali Hadayet’s attack on the El Al counter at Los Angeles International Airport, killing two.

  • September 2005: Jam’iyyat Ul-Islam Is-Saheeh plot against two Los Angeles-area synagogues, disrupted due to a dropped mobile phone.

  • July 2006 : Naveed Haq assaulted the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle, murdering one and injuring five.

  • May 2009: Four arrested in attempt to blow up two New York City synagogues.

Now, a list of foiled terrorist attacks on the USA From the Boston.com brought to you by Gay and Right:

Authorities say they have foiled many home-grown terrorism plots since Sept. 11, 2001:

  • MAY 2003: A naturalized U.S. citizen from Kashmir living in Columbus, Ohio, is accused of planning to destroy the Brooklyn Bridge, pleads guilty to supporting al-Qaida and is sentenced to 20 years in prison.
  • JUNE 2003: The FBI charges a group of men in Virginia with being part of a conspiracy to support holy war overseas. In all, 11 men eventually were convicted in what the government described as a “Virginia jihad network” that used paintball games as training.
  • AUGUST 2004: U.S. authorities announce evidence of a yearslong plot to attack financial institutions in New York, Washington and Newark, N.J. Eventually, five men plead guilty in London.
  • AUGUST 2004: Two men are arrested on the eve of the Republican National Convention in New York on suspicion of plotting to blow up a subway station. They are sentenced to prison.
  • AUGUST 2004: Authorities arrest two leaders of a mosque in Albany, N.Y., and charge them with aiding in a plot to buy a grenade launcher to assassinate a Pakistani diplomat. They are later convicted of counts relating to money laundering and conspiracy.
  • AUGUST 2005: Four California men, one the founder of a radical Islamic prison group, are accused of conspiring to attack Los Angeles-area military bases, synagogues and other targets. Three were convicted; one awaits trial.
  • FEBRUARY 2006: Three men are arrested in Toledo, Ohio, on suspicion of providing material support to terrorists. One is accused of downloading videos on the use of suicide-bomb vests.
  • APRIL 2006: Two Georgia men are accused of videotaping buildings in the Washington area, including the Capitol and the World Bank, and sending the video to a London extremist active on jihadist Web sites.
  • JUNE 2006: The FBI announces arrests in Miami and Atlanta in the early stages of a plot to destroy the Sears Tower in Chicago, FBI offices and other buildings. A federal jury convicted five men of plotting to join forces with al-Qaida. A sixth was acquitted.
  • JULY 2006: U.S. authorities announce the arrest of Assem Hammoud, a Lebanese man they claim was plotting to bomb New York City train tunnels to flood the financial district.
  • MAY 2007: Six men were arrested in a suspected plot to attack soldiers at Fort Dix in New Jersey. Five were convicted of conspiring to kill military personnel and four were sentenced to life in prison; another got 33 years.
  • JUNE 2007: Four Muslim men are accused of plotting to destroy New York’s Kennedy Airport, kill thousands of people and blow up a jet fuel artery. They have pleaded not guilty.
  • MAY 2009: Four men are charged in New York with plotting to attack synagogues and shoot down a military plane.

BNP vindicated by BBC documentary on rape and forced prostitution of British children by Muslims

Say what you want about the BNP. I’ll even listen with a sympathetic ear. There may even be a smattering of truth to some of the worst allegations against them. But let’s be perfectly clear here. The BNP have NOT been making wild public statements about killing all the Jews or any group at all like for instance, oh I dunno the president of Iran for example. The BNP has NOT threatened to nuke a civilized nation because it contains a group he doesn’t like as has, well for instance the president of Iran.

Yet it was that same president of Iran who was asked to deliver the annual Christmas message to the people of England by the BBC instead of the Queen in 2008 and the BNP who are being charged with hate crimes, accused of racism and maligned without any hard proof and certainly no national televised speeches with the leader demanding nuclear annihilation of a friendly state.

So I think for the moment Ill pitch in with the BNP. Sooner or later one has to trust the evidence over allegations.

Muslims in NYC calling for jihad in US etc. blah blah yada yada wuzza wuzza

My favorite part is where he calls for stopping the attacks in Swat and Pakistan against Muslims who “just want to pray and worship” etc. when in fact they want to commit genocide against non Muslims in the area and enforce sharia law on all Muslims and non Muslims alike. Hell the vast majority of the refugees from the Taliban and Al Queda ARE Muslims who want nothing to do with them.

Somali steals $USD9M and flees for Canada.

Much harder to find a Somali in Ottawa I guess than in Somalia. From Debbie Schlussel:

By Debbie Schlussel

**** SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATES; Read Fed Documents ****

On the one hand, this card-carrying member of the “Religion of Peace” stole $9 million from a water company. That’s bad. On the other hand, we should be happy that he didn’t poison the water . . . as far as we know.

A former water-company employee is being sought on a federal warrant on charges that he fled the country after wiring $9 million of the firm’s money into overseas bank accounts on the same day he resigned, court records show.Abdirahman Ismail Abdi, who turns 33 on Monday, was named in a warrant alleging unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. He also faces charges of grand theft and unauthorized computer access in Santa Clara County.

islamiccrescent.jpg “Religion of Peace”

Abdi resigned April 27 from his job at California Water Service Co. in San Jose. Authorities say that Abdi used a computer at the firm that evening to send $9.2 million into bank accounts in Qatar.The transactions were later flagged as suspicious, authorities said, and the money was returned to Cal Water, a privately owned water utility with 460,000 customers in California.

Abdi fled to Canada after sending his wife and two children to Germany.

Many questions? Who is this guy? Where is he from? Somalia? The name sounds Somalian? How did he get his job at a water company? And how the heck did he get access to $9.2 mill at the company? Sounds like someone else would have to be in on all of this.

Like I said, we’re lucky he didn’t poison the water, but if he was in a position to steal $9.2 million, he was in a position to do a lot of other things.

Scary, indeed.

A prediction: I’d bet the FBI–the lead agency on terrorism investigations–is involved in the investigation. Just a hunch.

**** UPDATE: There’s more on Abdi that makes you wonder how this guy got access to $9.2 million or even a job with a drinking water company. He’s an illegal alien and–I was right–from Somalia, who was ordered deported four years ago. Is this yet another example of illegal aliens “doing the job [stealing $9.2 million] that Americans just won’t do”?

Local prosecutors and police determined that Abdi has been trying to flee the country since at least May 1, when he tried to book a flight to London just days after police searched his South Bay home.Court papers show that Abdi, 32, resigned from his job as an auditor for the San Jose water company April 27 and was spotted by a janitor returning that night to the office of a former co-worker. The following morning, water officials discovered that Abdi had engineered three wire transfers totaling more than $9 million from the company’s accounts to an account in Qatar. The accounts were frozen and the money returned to the water company, according to court papers.

But San Jose police then closed in on Abdi, finding that he had put his wife and two children on a plane to Frankfurt, Germany, on April 28. Officials believe Abdi fled the country, perhaps to Canada, on May 5, according to a letter sent last week from the district attorney’s office to San Jose federal prosecutors.

California Water Service delivers drinking water throughout the state, including Los Altos and parts of Cupertino, Los Altos Hills, Mountain View and Sunnyvale.

And here’s the money quote:

According to the same letter, Abdi is not a U.S. citizen and was ordered deported to Somalia in 2005.

The legacy of Julie L. Myers a/k/a the former “ICE Princess”–the head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement for most of the time since Abdi was ordered deported–keeps on giving.

Yup, let’s hear it for going after employers and not illegal alien workers.

**** UPDATE #2: Read the federal documents filed so far the in federal criminal complaint against Abdirahman Ismail Abdi. The documents, including FBI agent David M. Brown’s affidavit (told you the FBI was involved), answer a few questions, but much less than they raise. For instance, a letter from the Santa Clara District Attorney’s office to the U.S. Attorney’s office states:

Abdi had been ordered in absentia to be deported on May 15, 2005 to Somalia. ICE records indicate that he departed the US. However on May 20, 2005 Abdi attempted to reenter the US through Blaine Washington. He was denied entry.

So, how did he eventually get back into the United States, and how did he get a job with this drinking water company?

Would love to know the answers to these question, but I’ll bet we’ll never get them.

I’ll also bet that the $9 million-plus was headed for Islamic terrorist group Al-Shabaab in Abdi’s native Somalia. The FBI’s involvement here is not a coincidence.

UK: “Minister Of Justice” Shahid Malik Forced To Resign

Here is a link showing what he did do, which caused his forced resignation:

Shahid Malik has stepped down as Justice Minister following the Telegraph’s disclosures over his expense claims.

By Robert Winnett and Gordon Rayner
Last Updated: 3:32PM BST 15 May 2009

The Labour MP for Dewsbury resigned from his post amid suspicions that his rental arrangements over his main home may have breached the Ministerial Code of Conduct.

The Telegraph revealed today that Mr Malik was paying well below the market rate for his constituency home in West Yorkshire, which he rents from a landlord who has a conviction for letting an uninhabitable property.

The Ministerial Code of Conduct states that members of the Government must not use their position to gain any financial advantage.

Gordon Brown has asked Sir Philip Mawer, the independent adviser on the ministerial code, to investigate whether Mr Malik’s arrangement with his landlord, Tahir Zaman, constitutes a breach of the code.

Mr Zaman told the Telegraph that Mr Malik paid him less than £100 per week in rent, saying that he charged more for another nearby property which was half the size.

Mr Malik is the first Government minister to resign in the wake of the Telegraph’s week-long investigation into MPs’ expenses.

Speaking earlier in the day from his home in Dewsbury, West Yorks, he insisted he was “as straight as they come” and blamed the controversy on the system of allowances being “in complete tatters”.

Since being elected in 2005, Mr Malik has claimed the maximum amount allowable for a second home, amounting to £66,827 over three years. Last year, he claimed £23,083 from the taxpayer for his London town house, equivalent to £443 per week. The Telegraph disclosed that the “main home” for which Mr Malik pays out of his own pocket – a three-bedroom house in his constituency of Dewsbury – has been secured at a discounted rent from Mr Zaman.

Mr Malik also rents a constituency office from Mr Zaman, who was fined for letting an “uninhabitable” house.

In an interview on Sky News Mr Malik pledged to donate £1,050 he claimed for a television to worthy local causes in his constituency.

“I will not be giving it to the authorities in Parliament because it is legitimately mine,” he said. “But as a gesture I am giving that to good causes in my constituency, and I think it will be appreciated by those who receive it.”

Asked why he needed to spend £730 on a massage chair, Mr Malik said it was a “legitimate expenditure” that he was allowed to make.

He said he went “one million per cent by the book” when he designated the house he rents in Dewsbury as his main home.

But he added: “The one thing I am clear about is that the rules are in complete tatters. I was a new MP. Everything I did, I asked before I did it because I didn’t want to be doing anything that was against the rules.”

But Mr Malik admitted that the stories about MPs’ expenses have had a negative impact on the UK’s democracy and politics.

“With hindsight, I think every MP in this country would have done things differently,” he said. “And for that collectively, on behalf of all MPs, of course I apologise.”

Mr Malik’s arrangement with his landlord means he pays below market rent for his main home while billing taxpayers thousands for his second home in London. His second home claims have included £2,600 for a home cinema system — which was cut in half by officials — and £65 for a court summons for not paying council tax.

Neither Mr Malik nor Mr Zaman would say last night whether they had signed a formal agreement for the lease of the constituency house, although Mr Zaman said the rent was below the market rate. The landlord’s wife said the house appeared to be occupied by a constituency worker during the week.

The case of Mr Malik’s expenses illustrates the potential problems of an MP being able to nominate what appears to be the family home as his second home, enabling him to claim tens of thousands of pounds of taxpayers’ money.

Gordon Brown’s spokesman stressed the expectation would be that Mr Malik would return to office if he was cleared and said no replacement was being appointed in the meantime. Sir Philip could report back within days.

Mr Brown’s spokesman said: “There have been accusations made in the past 24 hours against Shahid Malik, in particular that he received preferential rent on his main residence.

“Because that allegation would represent a potential financial benefit and that potential and alleged financial benefit was not declared as part of his ministerial declaration, this could represent a breach of the ministerial code.

“In the light of these accusations that have been made against Shahid Malik and the need for them to be properly investigated, the Prime Minister has asked the independent adviser, Sir Philip Mawer, to establish the facts of the matter as a matter of urgency and advise accordingly.”

Jacqui Smith, the Home Secretary, faced similar allegations after she was shown to have claimed her family home in Redditch as her second house.

However, the Home Secretary said she had always paid rent to her sister at a commercial rate.

As a minister, she also said she spent the majority of her time in London.

Mr Malik’s arrangements relating to his constituency home will also raise questions as to whether a minister could be beholden to a businessman who offers him discounted rent. Mr Zaman lives next door to Mr Malik’s home in Dewsbury. Mr Zaman and Mr Malik also have a rental agreement relating to the constituency office in a nearby shopping parade. Mr Malik claims for the cost of renting his office from parliamentary office allowances.

Yesterday, following a week of disclosures about MPs’ expenses by The Daily Telegraph, Elliot Morley, the former minister, was suspended from the Parliamentary Labour Party and Andrew Mackay lost his job as David Cameron’s aide.

Today, details of claims made by married MPs are disclosed. A former Cabinet minister is also exposed for over-claiming more than £8,000 on her mortgage.

Mr Malik bought a home in Peckham in 2001 for £85,000 — four years before he became an MP. After being elected to Parliament in 2005, he nominated the property as his “second home” and began claiming the maximum amount available in parliamentary expenses.

During the first year as an MP, he made 13 separate claims for different items of furniture or electrical appliances totalling more than £7,000. The fees office blocked several items and he eventually received £6,147. He also regularly claimed the maximum allowable £400 a month for food.

The most contentious item was a £2,600 home cinema system including a 40in flat-screen television. The fees office paid half, after initially rejecting the claim.

It blocked claims for a portable DVD player and an iPod during the same year.

The spending on the Peckham house continued during 2007-08, with 24 separate claims for furniture, decorating and electrical goods. These included a £671 fireplace, a leather daybed sofa and a £510 fitted wardrobe.

Mr Malik was also reimbursed for a £730 “massage chair”. Last night, the MP said he had a “back problem”.

The Justice Minister said he would repay the £65 he claimed for his non-payment of council tax courts summons.

In total, in three years, Mr Malik claimed £66,827 for the property – £18,173 less than the original cost of the house.

However, the spending on his “second” London home stands in stark contrast to the cut-price arrangements for his constituency property.

Mr Malik’s landlord last night told The Daily Telegraph: “He is definitely paying well under the market value rent.”

When asked if Mr Malik paid £100 a week, Mr Zaman said: “I’m renting [out] the next door [property], [it’s] half the size

of his property, they pay me more rent than what he’s paying me.”

In 2005 Mr Zaman pleaded guilty to letting a house to a family of five despite a council enforcement order classing building as “uninhabitable”.

He was fined £450 and ordered to pay £200 costs.

Mr Zaman receives more than £4,000 annually from Mr Malik in office rent. The money is funded from a separate system of parliamentary expenses.

The landlord’s wife who lives in a neighbouring property said that Mr Malik only used the property at weekends and a member of his staff stayed there during the week.

“He [Mr Malik] is a good friend and neighbour,” she said. “He comes here just at the weekends… Usually he comes here alone.”

Mrs Zaman said a constituency worker she knew only as Paul occupied the house during the week.

Yesterday, when asked whether someone stayed in the property during the week, Mr Malik would only say: “I am happy to confirm that I do not rent it out or derive any income from it.” Last night, in a statement issued by Mr Malik he strongly denied wrongdoing.

He said: “Dewsbury has been my home since 2004 when I moved there a year prior to becoming the MP. Overall I spend the majority of my time in Dewsbury because, although I spent half the week in London when Parliament is in session I spend most of recess at my main home in Dewsbury.

“The vast majority of my costs [on the London house] have gone on food, insurance, council tax, gas, electricity, security and mortgage interest.

“All these costs are regarded as basic essentials in terms of the ACA [expenses system].”

He also said his rejected claims had been a misunderstanding.

He said: “With hindsight of course I would have acted differently on these items but as a new MP, with a Green Book that was full of subjective rules and a guidance team that knew the limits for items, but chose not to share them with MPs, it was inevitable that almost every MP would have items questioned at some point.”
