Terrorists Use Mexico to Enter U.S.
Jim Meyers
Tuesday, June 5, 2007

 

Counterterrorism authorities have come to fear that the porous U.S.-Mexico border provides entry into the United States, not only for illegal aliens, but for Islamic terrorists as well.

And these same Islamic terrorists may also be using Mexico as the conduit to bring nuclear devices into the U.S. for a WMD attack.

 

These are among the chilling disclosure from Paul L. Williams, author of the just-released book "The Day of Islam: The Annihilation of America and the Western World."

 

According to Williams, al-Qaida has already hatched plans to smuggle nuclear materials across the Mexican border and use them for a mammoth simultaneous attack on several large U.S. cities.

 

Al-Qaida and other terrorist groups began infiltrating Mexico in the days after 9/11. By 2003, Canadian intelligence officials and Interpol told Mexican President Vincente Fox that al-Qaida had established several cells in Mexico to prepare for the next terrorist attacks,

Williams tells readers.

 

Meanwhile hundreds of Tzozil Indians in southern Mexico converted to Islam and reportedly became involved in subversive activities. By 2004, al-Qaida cells were in place in northern Mexico and a large cell of Hezbollah was in Tijuana, on the U.S. border of California.

 

The Muslim radicals enlisted the aid of Latino gangs, including Mara Salvatrucha, to help them slip across the border.  According to Williams, the going rate for such service was from $30,000 to $50,000, but it included a bogus matricular consular, an official ID card issued by the Mexican government that enables Mexican nationals in the U.S. to obtain drivers licenses and open bank accounts.

 

Steve McCraw, assistant director of the FBI's Office of Intelligence, told the House Judiciary

Committee in June 2003: "The ability of foreign nationals to use the matricular consular provides an opportunity for terrorists to move freely within the United States without triggering name-based watch lists that are disseminated to local police officials."

 

Mexico has also become a conduit for aliens from terror-sponsoring states, known as

"special-interest aliens," or SIAs. By 2006, a popular entry route from Mexico into Arizona was littered with "discarded Muslim prayer rugs, pages from the Quran, instructions in Arabic on how to cross the Rio Grande, and beverage boxes with Farsi and Arabic letters," writes Williams, a seasoned investigative reporter and former FBI consultant.

 

Due to a lack of detention facilities, those SIAs that are apprehended — who have numbered in the thousands in recent years — are released from custody after receiving hearing dates from immigration judges. Fewer than 5 percent actually show up for their hearing. The rest simply vanish.

 

Texas Rep. Solomon Ortiz, a Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee's Subcommittee on Readiness, said the release of Middle Easterners with possible links to al-Qaida is "very, very scary and members of Congress know about this."

 

In April 2004, the FBI arrested al-Qaida operative Mohammed Junaid Babar, after he returned to New York City from a terrorist summit meeting in Pakistan. He told interrogators that al-Qaida was preparing a nuclear attack on American cities. He also said the terrorists were relying on Latino gangs, most notably Mara Salvatrucha, to transport the operatives, along with nuclear supplies, across the U.S.-Mexican border.

 

Another captured terrorist later confirmed Babar's account. And both men said the plot was being directed by Adnan el-Shukrijumah, the man profiled in a NewsMax story last week — whom Williams calls "the most dangerous person in the Western world."

Jihadist feet washing just the beginning

By: Steve Yuhas

 

White guilt is a simple concept whose time has come and gone.  Typically felt by people on the left who are of European decent – they feel guilty about things that their ancestors did (or did not) do to blacks or Indians.  That guilt has pretty much been tapped since times are good for the vast majority of blacks and Indians so the left had to find a way to feel bad about a group of people. 

 

This time they found a doozy.  Who better to feel guilty for than for a group of people that produced 19 men capable of killing 3,000 people and bringing down American landmarks?  Once again they can overcompensate for alleged wrongs – this time for Muslims.  It doesn’t matter if people are Muslim by birth, choice or force because they were held captive by a government or a machine gun or knife toting masked man on a video tape.  The left and by definition bureaucrats all over American can now feel guilty and overcompensate for Muslim guilt in ways that no other group would ever dreamed.

 

Overcompensation for white guilt was pretty drab and easy: redistribute wealth, allow unqualified people to be promoted based on race and allow affirmative action programs in everything from college selection to government contracts.  It is so much better with Islam because now there is stuff they can do that they never could under white guilt.

 

Muslims have the benefit of forcing the left to throw out many of their previously held beliefs.  It is especially true with the supposed wall of separation between church and state that liberals trot out every time Christmas rolls around or when Jews defend themselves against Arabs in Israel.

 

It seems that because some Muslims feel bad that they are looked at suspiciously when they’re praying at airports and collecting items before a flight that could be used as weapons that Americans should feel enormous guilt for them.  Add to that fact that a few were mistakenly rounded up after 3,000 people were killed by Muslims who practiced their faith on airplanes on September 11, 2001 and all bets are off when it comes to that previously adored separation.

 

Recently public schools and airports (forgive the irony) decided to install feet washing devices so that Muslims in airports, cab drivers who service them and Muslims at public colleges can wash their feet before they pray.

 

The left is embracing the idea and there has been no outcry about spending public money on what is clearly a private religious ritual, but you can’t blame people on the right for being confused about public money being spent to give one faith facilities that no other groups are being given.

 

I suppose if the September 11th hijackers were Jewish the ACLU and groups of terrorists from CAIR (the Council on American-Islamic Relations) would jump to the front of the line to install Mikvahs in public buildings across the country – oh wait – they would do no such thing because these same groups become apoplectic at the site of a Menorah or Nativity Scene at Chanukah or Christmas. 

 

So what is it about Islam that allows the left to ignore the fact that the government sponsoring Islamic rituals is far more offensive to the First Amendment’s Establishment Clause than a little town putting up a Christmas tree?

 

Muslim-guilt.

 

It was bound to happen because every mention of the word Muslim or Islam that comes from a politician or bureaucrat is followed or prefaced by the obligatory phraseology about Islam being a religion of peace and that the vast majority of Islamic people want to live in peace with the west.  Of course there is no data to support this and the fact that the United States has a favorability rating of about 8% in the Muslim world the math proves the premise wrong. 

 

And who can forget the number of people in the Arab world who are willing to stand in line to chop the head off a Jew or blow up a bus – taught to them at the tender age of six courtesy of Arab government television and the use of a badly dressed knock off of Mickey Mouse (Palestinian television is paid for using the money supplied by Western governments and the United States).

 

Minnesota has allowed publicly funded colleges to add the same foot washing devices that are being used in Kansas City for cab drivers to pray at the airport.  It begs the question about how the ACLU, the left, the separation of church and state lunatics and Muslim groups would react if Jewish Mikvahs or fonts of holy water blessed by the Pope were installed instead of or before the Muslim feet washing equipment.

 

It is probably not a stretch to say that the reaction would not have been friendly. 

 

The ACLU fought for decades for a cross to be removed from a war memorial on public land in San Diego and for crosses to be taken off of county seals in Los Angeles.  CAIR gets bent out of shape every time a Muslim is portrayed on television as a terrorist – what happened to doing anything in the name of art – forget that most terrorists today are Arab.

 

Americans need not feel Muslim guilt any more than they felt white guilt over the decades, but the left loves guilt and victimization.  The government should not pay for Muslims to wash their feet nor should it pay to have children baptized or for a Jewish couple to hold a bris for their son.

 

Editorial pages around the country have written about the fact that there is no harm in having feet washing stations for Muslims, but these are the same slippery slope loving folks who think a cross on a county seal is the beginning of a Christian rebellion.  The whole dynamic would change if it were Christians getting special treatment or if Jews were getting special places set aside in public spaces.

 

Now that the door has been opened to government sponsorship of Islam I would like to have a Mikvah installed at any airport I may be at and demand my Catholic friends get a font of holy water blessed by the Pope. 

 

There is a real slippery slope here and it begins with tax dollars going to a group of people who share an ideology with people who want to have the flag of Islam flying over the White House.

 

It is bad enough that it is flying over airports and a few public colleges – where else do you want it?

 

Elevating Islam because so many politicians are afraid of it above every other religion and using tax dollars to subsidize the practice of it is just as wrong and unconstitutional as taking away my gun.  The only difference is that while we overcompensated for white guilt over the years the worst thing to happen was bad government programs.

 

Overcompensating with Islam and having it practiced in airports and college campuses at public expense gives the Jihadist exactly what they want – America as an Islamic state.  That – to be sure – is something to fear; much more than a Nativity Scene or Menorah at Christmas or Chanukah.

Well, here is the thanks we get. Eight years ago, America opened its arms to tens of thousands of ethnic Albanian refugees from Kosovo. The first planeload landed at Fort Dix, New Jersey. Military leaders worked day and night to turn the base into a child-friendly village. They coordinated medical and security checkups, mental health and trauma counseling and ethnic food preparations.

Soldiers from Fort Bragg traveled up from North Carolina to assist in refugee operations at Fort Dix. Then-U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Mitchell M. Zais also assembled a team of about 80 soldiers from the U.S. Army Reserve Command in Atlanta. The New Jersey National Guard and American Red Cross teamed up to coordinate charity relief. The military also supported the relief effort's interagency task force, headed by the Department of Health and Human Services.

In addition to food and shelter, we provided translators, welfare consultants and Muslim chaplains. The base constructed prayer rooms and handed out Muslim "sensitivity" cards to the troops. Said Gen. Zais: "We want to welcome these people to America the way we might wish our grandparents and great-grandparents had been welcomed to Ellis Island."

Fast-forward from 1999 to yesterday's headline news: "Fort Dix Plot Aimed At Soldiers; Authorities Say 6 Islamic Militants Arrested, Were Plotting Attack At N.J. Base." Three of the alleged plotters were illegal alien brothers from the former Yugoslavia. Another was a legal permanent resident from the former Yugoslavia. Another hailed from Jordan, and the sixth was a naturalized American citizen originally from Turkey.

According to the criminal complaint against Dritan Duka, one of the illegal alien brothers accused of knowingly and willfully conspiring with the jihadi gang to kill U.S. soldiers, the plotters have schemed for more than a year to murder our troops. They scoped out Dover Air Force Base and Fort Monmouth, as well as the port of Philadelphia, before settling on Fort Dix. One of the participants used to deliver pizza to the base -- used to supply food to our men and women in uniform giving him business -- and knew the military facility "like the palm of his hand."

You think all our hospitality and charity bred good will in these young men -- all in their 20s and enjoying the fruits of the American Dream? Forget about it. The criminal complaint describes the plotters, along with a confidential informant, gathering at a rental house to train with Mujahadin video games:

"Members of the group pointed out that United States military vehicles were shown being destroyed in various attacks. [Illegal alien] Shain Duka pointed out that a United States Marine's arm had been blown off, at which point laughter erupted from the group."

Just hard-working, "undocumented citizens" plotting the plots and laughing at the anti-American atrocities ordinary Americans wouldn't laugh at, yeah? If they had only laid low a few extra months, they might have gotten that illegal alien amnesty President Bush and Congress are so eager to hand out.

According to the criminal complaint, they laughed at our troops getting maimed and killed. They soaked up Osama bin Laden's evil rants. They studied the 9/11 hijackers' last wills and testaments. They contemplated infiltrating our armed forces to frag soldiers from the inside. They relished the thought of spilling American blood on American soil. Is yours boiling yet?

"My intent is to hit a heavy concentration of soldiers," Jordanian-born naturalized U.S. citizen Mohamad Shnewer is quoted telling the plotters. "You hit four, five, six humvees and light the whole place [up] and retreat completely without any losses."

Eight years ago, at the Clinton administration's behest, this nation welcomed refugees escaping a genocidal regime whose military spread fear and brutalized its people. Eight years later, we have a homegrown jihad plot targeting a base that symbolizes the best, the brightest and the most compassionate our military has to offer.

And what is the Muslim community doing to condemn the accused traitors in our midst? Carping about the government's actions to stop jihad in its tracks:

"If these people did something, then they deserve to be punished to the fullest extent of the law," said Muslim lawyer Sohail Mohammed. "But when the government says 'Islamic militants,' it sends a message to the public that Islam and militancy are synonymous.'"

The thanks we get, huh?

Zealot Muslims now plan to bathe America’s streets with gunfire just as is going on in Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, Darfur and so forth. Distribution Source : ArriveNet Editorials   J. Grant Swank, Jr. (ArriveNet Editorials - May 04, 2007) -- "These killers are known as "paintball jihadists" in that they practice in paintball game style what they have planned for America’s streets. They are already training others in "urban combat" using paintball guns. They will engage in paramilitary-style training right under our noses, and lie about it to our faces. They are protected, in some cases, by the religious Imams, some who even encourage or schedule such outings." Zealot Muslims now plan to bathe America’s streets with gunfire just as is going on in Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, Darfur and so forth. Once these Allah devotees get hold, they don’t stop. Street fighting never ends. Further, these fighters are more than willing to sacrifice their own bodies and those of their families and neighbors in order to see through Islam World Rule. Douglas J. Hagmann, Director, Northeast Intelligence Network, reports that American officials already know of the process. However, both government and media are muffling detail. Jihad will come to the United States due to "Muslim men inside the U.S., (the latter) adhering to the Islamist ideology of jihad, preparing for war on the streets of America. "The ‘insider’ reports are very troubling and are purposely being downplayed by official sources and go largely unreported in the media. "One case, however, can serve as an example of what is taking place all across the U.S. involving the procurement and disbursement of weapons to Muslim ‘jihadists.’ On Tuesday, May 2, 2007, a federal indictment was unsealed in the U.S. federal court in St. Louis naming eight Islamic men as defendants in a case involving the buying, selling or hiding of automatic weapons, an anti-personnel mine and other explosives. "The case originated with the arrest of Mousa M. ABUELAWI, 22, of Creve Coeur, MO on December 29, 2006. He was charged with three counts of illegal possession or distribution of a machine gun and conspiracy to violate machine gun statutes. A superseding indictment unsealed yesterday, charges ABUELAWI and seven others with machine gun charges and charges of conspiracy, lying to the FBI and other firearms violations. "The other seven defendants identified in the indictment are identified as: Thaer Abde SUMAD, 23, of Florissant, MO, Abdikarin WARSAME, 28, Charley M. HUNT Jr., 45, Darnell T. THORNTON, 25, and Hussein Ali NURE, 29, all from Jennings, MO, Mohamed JUDEH, 20, of Maryland Heights and Otha L. BAKER, 20, of St. Louis. If found guilty of the charges, the men face 5-10 years in prison." Jihadists are stockpiling weaponry and explosives via secret cells. Mosque leaders are cooperating with them. "In the case of ABUELAWI and the other seven defendants, the men met at gas stations located in north St. Louis between August 2006 and January 2007 to buy or transfer automatic weapons and explosives. In the original documents charging Abuelawi, Sumad is quoted in a meeting with ABUELAWI and a government informer as saying that ‘he wants to buy as many explosives as possible because, "we're going to war."'"

Saudi Press Plugs America’s Jihad U
By Patrick Poole
www.frontpagemag.com

April 26, 2007

Just weeks after an exposé appeared here at FrontPage (“Jihad U”) uncovering the extremist agenda of the largest independent Islamic studies program in North America, the Al-Maghrib Institute, and detailing the groups extensive connections to the Saudi Wahhabi religious establishment and the Muslim Brotherhood, a laudatory article appeared in the Arab News praising the program for its “state-of-the-art advertising, graphics, and 21^st century vernacular,” characterizing the wildfire growth of Al-Maghrib as a “phenomena” (“Al-Maghrib Institute: Motivating People to Learn More About Islam”).

With the Arab News as the official English-language mouthpiece for the Saudi royal family (the parent company, Saudi Research and Publishing Co., is chaired by Prince Faisal bin Salman bin Abdul Aziz), it isn’t surprising that Al-Maghrib would receive such preferential treatment, especially since four of the six instructors are graduates of the University of Medina, and the other two holding degrees from King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah and Al-Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University in Riyadh – all devout propagators of the Wahhabi faith favored by the Saudi regime.

But the glowing media review Al-Maghrib received is all the more understandable when considering that the article’s author, New York-based “freelance journalist” Susan Smith, is in fact a student of the Institute, a fact revealed by the group’s founder, Muhammad Alshreef, and Smith herself on Al-Maghrib’s own online forum. Smith’s article, which first appeared in the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs two weeks after the initial FrontPage exposé, makes no mention of her connection to the organization.

As revealed here previously at FrontPage, Al-Maghrib’s for-college-credit program is accredited by the Muslim Brotherhood-linked American Open University (AOU), and features an extensive curriculum in Muslim Brotherhood authors and theorists (Hassan al-Banna, Sayyid Qutb, et. al), as well as past and present Wahhabi theologians and preachers, including sect founder, Muhammad ibn Abd-al-Wahhab.

PBS shelves film on moderate Muslims

By Jennifer Harper
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
April 11, 2007

A 52-minute documentary film exploring the struggles of moderate American Muslims at the hands of their radical brethren has also become a showcase for the struggles between right and left in the news media.
    The producers of "Islam vs. Islamists" say their taxpayer-funded film has been shelved by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) in "an ideological vendetta," and because the production team includes conservative columnist Frank Gaffney Jr., founder of the Center for Security Policy.
    "This is a well-documented, textbook case of the abuse of taxpayer funding by elements in the public broadcasting system to advocate their agenda and ensure that people who have different agenda don't get on the air," Mr. Gaffney said yesterday. "The public ought to be allowed to see a film which PBS doesn't want them to see."
    His partner Martyn Burke also accused CPB and PBS of stifling the film "on political grounds."

Bedlam Revisited
Why the Virginia Tech shooter was not committed.

I was in graduate school, studying clinical psychology when they began shutting down the asylums. The place was California, the time was the early 1970s, and "they" were an unprecedented confederation of progressives, libertarians and fiscal conservatives.

From the left marched battalions of self-styled mental health "liberation activists" steeped in the writings of Scottish psychiatrist R.D. Laing. Though he denied being opposed to his own profession, Laing's notion that madness could be a reasonable reaction to an unjust society, or even a vehicle for spiritual transformation, helped fuel the anti-psychiatry movement of the post Love-In era. The most radical of Laingians carried revisionism one step further: Not only wasn't psychosis a bad thing, it was evidence of a superior level of consciousness.

Was Cho an 'Imminent' Threat?
Sixteen months ago, Cho Seung-hui, who was to carry out last week's Virginia Tech massacre, had an encounter with Virginia's mental-health system. As we noted Friday, after Cho spent a night in "temporary detention," a psychiatrist evaluated him, finding that he was "mentally ill" but "did not present an imminent threat" to himself or others.

We characterized the latter conclusion in passing as having been mistaken--it seemed obviously so to us--but several readers took issue, including Barton Branscum, who is a psychiatrist:
