“Jersey City sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, the man who inspired the 1993 World Trade Center attack, is not being transferred to Egypt, according to a CBS New York article.”

Muslim Community School in Potomac....
“If I had to choose sides, I’d stay with being Muslim,” said eighth-grader Ibrahim. “Being an American means nothing to me. I’m not even proud of telling my cousins in Pakistan that I’m American.”....
I can’t post any more than this because it’s from the Washington Post.

Arab Men Laughing
Post 138
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/553557/posts?page=138#138
My cousin was contracted to work down in Brooklyn, right on the water’s edge, just south of the WTC. He had a great view of the Twin Towers from the construction site; his construction hut was on the top of the high rise. On 9-11 he was on the roof of this high rise looking out over the water when he witnessed the first and then the second plane crash into the WTC. He watched both building crumble bringing to an abrupt end the lives of those inside. As this information was disseminated throughout the media and the public was witnessing this intrinsically evil act, he noticed a commotion at street level. He went down to the ground floor to see what was happening. Across the street was a middle-eastern deli. The B*stards, as he called them, were dancing in the street and in the store. If it weren’t for the NYPD, the construction workers would have torn them apart. This display of JOY at the decimation of innocent humanity was too much to swallow and, IMHO, was perverted and nearly as evil as the act itself. This has been witnessed by Americans ALL over America in various cities and at different times. I am totally amazed at the self control of the U.S. and flabergasted at the sadistic rejoicing not only in the Middle-East but also here in the Islamic population of the U.S.
If Arab/Muslim Americans want to be seen as patriots you need to come out in force ABSOLUTELY condemning the acts of 9-11 and all terrorism coming out the the Middle East (no and, ifs or buts about it). Else you will continue to be portrayed otherwise. BTW, I have yet to see any Islamic Clerics in the U.S. do what I just said. They have all pre-qualified there statements with things like U.S. Midlle East policy, or Palestine/Israeli situation.....
“Who are you going to believe? Us or your lying eyes?”
The Main Stream Media
Someone has to have video taped from TV news back then, and its going to find its way onto YouTube (hopefully).
I’ve heard stories since moving to Northern Virginia that in Bailey’s Crossroads, there’s a couple of high-rise “luxury apartments” that have been nicknamed “Taliban Towers.” People who live there apparently heard a lot of cheering on 9/11 from Muslim tenants.

Introduction
Between the Fall of 1998 and June 2001, a group of Middle Eastern men living in New Jersey is caught on tape in an ATF weapons sting conspiring to buy millions of dollars of weapons including components for nuclear bombs. Three years after the operation ended, all of the people involved in the deal are free.
. . .
will also examine the history of terror links to the North Jersey area from before the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center right up until 9-11. Michael Chertoff, by the way, was the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey from 1990-1994 and was in office when the first attack on the World Trade Center took place. For reasons that escape me, the Jersey City area and particularly the Al Salam mosque from which the Blind Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman spewed his hatred, was allowed to continue to be one of the major hubs of terrorist activity in the United States .
Part 1: The Jersey City Rat Pack
. . .
This case pales in comparison, however, to a pre-9-11 weapon sting in which a 32 million dollar deal for a ship load of weapons, 500 Stinger Missiles, nuclear triggers, weapons grade plutonium and 'heavy water' for a nuclear dirty bomb were the weapons of choice of Middle Eastern men seeking to arm Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban. This case never made screaming headlines when it ended in June 2001 and most people have never head about it.
The attacks on 9-11 were three months away and the American press was not as eager to pounce on every story that even mentioned the word terrorist. In addition to the weapons deal, the World Trade Center was specifically mentioned as a future target by one of the characters in this drama and yet none of the people involved in this case are currently in prison. Why?
. . .
The Strange Story of Dr. Magdy Elamir
The August 2, 2002 edition of Dateline NBC, brought to light the story of another North Jersey character named Dr. Magdy Elamir.
"Last fall, 'Dateline' obtained information about Magdy Elamir. He's a prominent doctor, a neurologist with a practice in Jersey City. Born and educated in Egypt, he moved to this country about 20 years ago and since then has built a fortune. He lives in a mansion, is generous to local charities and is an active supporter of both political parties.
Should counterterrorism investigators take an interest in Dr. Elamir? Well, 'Dateline' obtained a document last fall - foreign intelligence report, that makes a startling allegation about the doctor - that he has had financial ties with Osama bin Laden for years. The report was given to a senior member of Congress, Ben Gilman, back in 1998, when he was Chairman of the House International Relations Committee.
'We have a former FBI person on our staff and I asked him to look it over,' says Congressman Gilman. 'He thought it was credible enough to turn it over to the intelligence people. And we turned it over to the FBI practically immediately.'
This was in 1998.
The report alleges that an H.M.O. owned by Dr. Elamir in New Jersey was 'funded by ben [sic] Laden' and that in turn Dr. Elamir was skimming money from the H.M.O. to fund 'terrorist activities.'
It was on the television news
Here are the first threads posed as 9-11 was happening. However, I doubt there would be references to Muslims cheering and celebrating at this early time. Any such reports like that would have likely come sometime later, hours, days.

New Jersey and Terrorism - Perfect Together;
terrorism is operating in NJ unchecked, and Bush's Justice Dept knows about it. A four part series
OpEdNews
Sept 2, 2004
In Part 1 of this series I introduced you to three men from Jersey City who attempted to set up a weapons deal which included among other things, hundreds of Stinger Missiles and components for nuclear weapons.
The weapons deal was part of a two and a half year investigation called Operation Diamondback which culminated with the arrests of two of the Jersey City men in June of 2001.
Diaa Moshen was sentenced to 30 months in prison and Mohamed Malik was freed and had his case sealed and purged of all references to Pakistan. Both men are now free and continue to walk the streets of New Jersey .
The third man, Raja Ghulam Abbas, an alleged Pakistani ISI Agent, fled the country and the last I heard was living in Pakistan.
During a meeting at [the] Tribeca Grill on July 22, 1999, Abbas pointed towards the World Trade Center and stated "those towers are coming down."
Despite the fact that the meeting was recorded and was being watched by members of the FBI's Terrorism Task Force, the threat was apparently not taken seriously.(4)
Randy Glass, the former con-man who posed as a weapons dealer during Operation Diamondback, was so upset about the references to the Towers coming down, that after the investigation ended he notified his elected representatives in Florida and reported the threats.
According to an article in the Palm Beach Post, titled Intelligence Panel Hears from Glass, by John Pacenti published on October 17, 2002:
"In August 2001, just before Glass started to serve a seven-month sentence for a $6 million jewelry scam, he said he reached out to Sen. Bob Graham and U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler. He said he told staffers for both lawmakers that a Pakistani operative working for the Taliban known as R.G. Abbas made three references to imminent plans to attack the World Trade Center during the probe, which ended in June 2001.
At one meeting at New York's Tribeca Grill caught on tape, Abbas pointed to the World Trade Center and said, "Those towers are coming down," Glass said." (8)
Further on in the article Pacenti reports:
"Graham acknowledged at news conference in Boca Raton last month that Glass had contact with his office before Sept. 11, 2001, about an attack on the World Trade Center.
"I was concerned about that and a dozen other pieces of information which emanated from the summer of 2001, "the senator said." (8)
WPTV, an NBC affiliate in Florida did a news report where Senator Graham is confronted about the Glass info and a video of the story can be viewed online by checking out The Randy Glass Video in the Resources section at the end of this article.
In Part 1 of this series, I mentioned the fact that General Mahmoud Ahmad, the head of the Pakistani ISI, had been sacked from his position after it was determined that he had authorized a wire transfer of $100,000 to Mohammed Atta shortly before 9-11.(6)
-snip-
This story really caught my attention since allegations were made that Dr. Elamir had financial ties to Osama Bin Laden for years and that Bin Laden had funded an HMO that Elamir was operating in New Jersey. The intelligence report that Dateline refers to also infers that Dr. Elamir may have skimmed money from the HMO to fund "terrorist activities".

I guess no one check with the Muslims living on Atlantic Ave Brooklyn or Flushing where candy was handed out to Muslim kids on that fateful day.
I remember seeing news footage on Fox news channel of a group of Muslim men and women from across the river, watching the second plane hit the second tower and right when it hit they started jumping, shouting and celebrating like team Mohammad just beat Israel in the Superbowl. I never saw the footage broadcast again.
