NSA Nonsense: Not Illegal

As soon as USA Today leaked news of the NSA’s phone record database program, the “reality based” blogosphere began yelling that the program was illegal. This has become the Left’s standard response to any policies, programs, or people they don’t like. They’d criminalize hangnails if they could find a way to blame them on Bush.

Daveed Gartenstein-Ross points out the inconvenient truth: NSA Nonsense. link: 295 comments  Is It Legal? "A tempest in a tea cup if you will. Just how do the L^3 think that the phone company can provide records of telephone calls to the police for criminal investigations?" I'm just wondering why they're not whining about Echelon yet.  And this isn't even mentioning the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act ... And or course, the LLL is totally mum about the case of rep Jim McDermott (Moonbat - Seattle) who passed out illegally tapped telephone conversations of Newt Gingrich...

 
Are You OK With Secret Terror-Tracking Methods Being Revealed?
Some background:

The Legality of the NSA's Intercept Program--Well, there it goes as far as we're concerned. The left is still hanging onto it, tooth and nail--and talking impeachment. It's just plain sickening.

Netherlands Elites Calling for Hirsi Ali to Be Deported

Netherlands media and the clueless dhimmified Dutch political class are really going after Ayaan Hirsi Ali tonight: Critics Want Dutch Lawmaker Deported.

This is just appalling.  link: 73 comments

Jihad against Hirsi Ali

Hirsi Ali RS small.jpg
Jihad Watch Director Robert Spencer with Ayaan Hirsi Ali

Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who has spoken up repeatedly and heroically, at immense personal risk and loss, against the Islamic jihad ideology -- and particularly its inhumanity to women -- is being hounded by dhimmis in the Netherlands.

Bruce Bawer, author of the essential While Europe Slept, writes this in an email about this Dutch-language article:

The upshot of this article is that Rita Verdonk, Integration Minister in NL, is "looking into" the basis on which Ayaan Hirsi Ali became a naturalized Dutch citizen. On Friday Verdonk said Hirsi Ali had nothing to worry about, but today her spokesperson would no longer say that.

Absolutely despicable. First they drive her out of her house -- now they are apparently trying to drive her out of her country.

Some further details come from this story in Expatica, "Liberals don't care Hirsi Ali lied to get asylum in 1992," which dates from before Verdonk's turnabout:

Interviews with her brother, aunt and ex-husband raised doubts about Hirsi Ali's contention she fled to Europe to escape possible retribution from her family for not going through with an arranged marriage. Her relatives contradicted her claim that she was not present during the wedding to the Canadian-Somali man.

Hirsi Ali said she was forced to marry a stranger but her ex-husband said they had been in love and spent the week together after the wedding. He then went back to Canada to prepare for her arrival. Supplied with a plane ticket, Hirsi Ali later arrived in Germany and took a train to Amsterdam rather than continue the planned journey to Canada.

She has for years admitted she made up parts of her story to get asylum in the Netherlands but she insisted to Zembla her relatives and ex-husband were lying in regard to some of the details.

The programme-makers said it was decided to look into her past because of differing accounts she has given over the years about her past.

Hirsi Ali said she came clean about the lies she told to get asylum when she joined the Liberal Party (VVD) in 2002. Yet prominent VVDer (and now EU Commissioner) Nelie Kroes described Hirsi Ali as a person who had lived through five civil wars in Somalia. This was not true as Hirsi Ali lived in Kenya for over 10 years before coming to the Netherlands.

A spokesperson for the VVD said the party had been aware that Hirsi Ali lied about her name and date of birth when seeking asylum. This was not seen as a barrier to her joining the party or becoming one of its MPs.

All right. Her husband says they were in love. If they were in love, can I go sightseeing at the World Trade Center tomorrow? Her real name is not Ayaan Hirsi Ali. All right. Armed with that information, can I have lunch with Theo Van Gogh in Amsterdam next week? She really was present at her wedding. Great. I guess then that the Qur'an teaches that women should have equality of rights with men?

The point I am making is that the value of Hirsi Ali's contribution to the Netherlands and the West is not negated by the circumstances of her gaining asylum. If it were anyone other than she, the headline "Asylum seeker lies to get asylum" would be circular-filed, not made into front-page news. Of course people shouldn't lie; but to consider deporting her now, when she is a Dutch Parliamentarian living under death threats because she has dared to tell the truth about Islam, jihad, and Sharia, because of what she said in 1992, is patent political maneuvering, not sober immigration policy.

Of course I have disagreements with her on some matters. But on the central issues that will determine whether Judeo-Christian civilization survives in this century, and whether the human rights and dignity of every human person will be preserved, I am proud and honored to stand with her.

Ayaan, come to America. For all its faults, it may be civilization's last redoubt.

A final note: Ayaan Hirsi Ali was in America not too long ago. Here from LGF is a miscellany of links to various videos and other material concerning talks she gave.

The Muslim Brotherhood 'Project'

Here’s a detailed article by Patrick Poole about The Muslim Brotherhood Project, a far-reaching secret plan to establish worldwide Islamic rule by means of infiltration, jihad, and propaganda.

I know, it sounds like another wacky conspiracy theory. But the evidence is substantial, and very compelling:

A complete translation of the document discovered by Swiss authorities is here. (By way of Scott Burgess at The Daily Ablution.)

http://www.ummah.net...
they are very upfront about their ultimate goal:
"Mastering the world with Islam".

Sounds a whole lot like the plan the Communists had after WWII.

The Communists or the Nazis didn't colonize our countries with millions of immigrants with extremely high birth rates, get state funding for promoting their anti-democratic ideology and silence their critics with hate speech laws and accusations of "racism."  I'm sorry-- did you say moslems, or mexicans?

Kosovo: Clinton bombed the wrong people

Clinton bombed the wrong people. Everything clinton touched turned to shit. More here from thr American Council of Kosovo;
Kosovo: The real test of U.S. foreign policy source: WND
If you want to see a place where Christians are outside of the law on their own ancestral land – come to Kosovo.

If you want to see American troops committed to establishing a narco-Islamic state on Christian land – come to Kosovo.

If you want to see Christian churches, monasteries and cemeteries desecrated on an almost daily basis, under the noses of thousands of Western soldiers – look no further than Kosovo.Seven years after William Jefferson Clinton launched a bombing campaign against a European Christian land in support of the Islamic terrorist Kosovo Liberation Army, it's as though the bombs have never stopped falling on the Christian remnant in Kosovo. Whether Clinton did it to divert attention from a burgeoning sex scandal, or whether it was part of a global anti-Christian campaign by Western liberals with a cultural death-wish, the results for the Kosovo Christians – and all non-Albanians in Kosovo – are the same.

MSU Hate Speech Gets Free Pass at UC Irvine

As we’ve noted many times before (lgf: search), the California city of Irvine seems to be a locus of radical Islam, often centered around the activities of the Muslim Student Union at UC Irvine. Here’s a piece at Inside Higher Ed looking at the situation, revealing that the administration at UC Irvine is as afraid of radical Islam as Borders Books and most US newspapers are: Middle East Wars on U.S. Campuses.  Here’s the poster for this MSU event: MSU Hate Week at UCIlink: 47 comments

Dan happens to be one of my favorite authors, and I admit it warms my heart a little, to know he is not otherwise a moonbat.

"Impending World of Jihad "Tsunami"

Ex-Military Intelligence chief Ze'evi warns of impending world jihad 'tsunami'

Former Military Intelligence chief Aharon Ze'evi warned an impending world jihad "tsunami" that he said may soon descend on the entire Middle East.

Ze'evi, speaking at a Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies conference in Tel Aviv University, said that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinijad has been overheard promising the "end of history in two or three years."

Ze'evi recommended that the Iranian threats be taken seriously, saying that Tehran will soon have nuclear warhead compatible surface-to-surface missiles with a range of 5,000 kilometers, putting Europe within striking distance.

Read it all, it's not pretty but we have to know what we are up against.

Spy LIE: CAIR, Democrats and Media- Shared Values and Goals

The Council of Islamic Relations (CAIR), has sent out the following directive to all of their foot soldiers in America. It seems that the CAIR, American arm of Islamic extremism doesn't like the US government knowing too much about their war plans. They share the same values and goals as the dhimmicrats Democrats; 

ACTION: URGE ELECTED OFFICIALS TO PROBE NSA SURVEILLANCE, APPOINT SPECIAL COUNSEL - TOP

(WASHINGTON, DC, 5/16/06) - CAIR today joined a broad coalition* of groups [broad coalition my ass, THE AMERICAN LEFT -Atlas] in calling on American Muslims and other people of conscience to...Legal violations? Lie. More here ...Last week, CAIR called for the appointment of a special counsel...CAIR Calls for Special Counsel on NSA Phone Data Spy Program here...GO HERE: ...

All outlined in the Muslim Brotherhood Project

Next I am sure we can expect a flurry of lawsuits. Lawsuits are another favored tool what seems to be CAIR's  policy of using the legal process to silence or chill critics.

Palestinian Terror Gang Threatens US, Europe

The Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades think they’re ready to play with the big boys: Aksa Brigades threatens US, Europe.  Notice: these threats were issued at about the same time as Palestinian “president” Mahmoud Abbas, leader of Fatah and the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, was telling the European Parliament that the Palestinians just need one more chance to move forward with the peace processlink: 179 comments   "Impending World of Jihad "Tsunami"  http://atlasshrugs20...   So this differentiates them from other Muslim cults how?

More Western leaders should read Hugh Fitzgerald of Jihad Watch:

Fitzgerald: Truces and tribute

Islam does not command Muslims to allow the Infidels to retain some territory as long as they yield other territory. It does not say that any land once part of Dar al-Islam can ever be relinquished. For that matter, it does not say that there is any part of Dar al-Harb that can remain forever outside Dar al-Islam. The duty of every Muslim is to engage in jihad fi sabeel Allah, Jihad in the way, in the path, of Allah, whether individually or as part of a collective, and whether by active participation or by supporting and protecting those who do actively participate.

Treaties can be made with Infidels, but they are not treaties that will last indefinitely. They should last, at most, 10 years, although in some cases they may be "renewed" until such time as the Muslim side is stronger, and the Infidels have become weaker -- weaker because of those very treaties they signed.

 There is no ambiguity about it. None. Treaties are not "peace" treaties but "truce" treaties. That's it.

And "war is deception." It is all laid out, by the way, in books and articles by Arab strategists. They don't hide it. They assume, and so far have assumed rightly, that the Israelis and the Western world will simply ignore those books and articles and will ignore what Islamic treaty-making is all about, because it is just too painful to contemplate.

If you haven't read Eurabia by Bat Ye'or, pick it up.

It's dry, crammed with facts and footnotes, but the insanity of EU policy is so chilling it keeps you going.

"Read Ahmed carefully. Assume everything he says is the truth as he sees it. He is telling us all we need to know. He doesn't have the bomb yet. He soon will. He will attack Israel in an attempt to start Armaggedon. Because Persia is an older civilization based upon religion, he believes it will survive. Western civlization based upon constitutional or civil law will collapse. Muslims will swarm the remnants and rape, kill, plunder and take slaves of the survivors. This is not a joke. The analogy to Hitler is correct. When a madman or a thug says he will shoot you, he will.

Robert Spencer completely deconstructs a series of straw man attacks by Dean Esmay (who knows a lot less about Islam than he would like us to believe): Esmay’s dismay, and his response. Read the whole thing; Esmay’s ad hominem rants don’t really deserve such a thorough rational response, but the arguments Spencer makes are fact-based and very compelling, and will be useful in other situations.

Ferrigno: Ahmadinejad and the Hidden Imam

Don’t miss this terrific blog post from Robert Ferrigno, author of Prayers for the Assassin (a novel I recommend highly): Ahmadinejad and the Hidden Imam. "I had never heard of Ahmadinejad until he was elected president of Iran in late 2005. Then his speeches started getting international coverage, and it seemed like what he was saying came straight out of the pages of Prayers for the Assassin. He blamed the Jews for everything, threatened to eradicate Israel, and, most interesting to me, he spoke of the imminent return of the Mahdi, the Twelfth Imam and the creation of a Caliphate (a major theme of Prayers) which would dominate the world."   link: 134 comments

NYPD officer testifies about going undercover in Muslim community

A New York Police Department officer born in Bangladesh testified Thursday that commanders assigned him straight out of the police academy to go undercover in a Muslim neighborhood as part of their response to the Sept. 11 attacks.

The undercover investigator, who is Muslim, said at a Manhattan subway bomb plot trial in federal court that he was "told to be a member of the community, hang out and get information."
-----
Two weeks after he graduated from the academy, he was assigned to gather intelligence in and around the Brooklyn mosque, the Islamic Society of Bay Ridge. He claimed he was "surprised and shocked" by the anti-American tirades and other radical rhetoric about suicide bombings and terrorist training camps he overheard at the bookstore where the defendant worked as a clerk.

"I grew up with a peaceful religion," he said. "Where in Islam does it say you can blow up a train station?"

He soon began sending regular e-mail reports to his NYPD handler about Siraj. He said the defendant advocated a holy war against the United States as revenge for its support of Israel and predicted, "If the United States went to war in Iraq, there was going to be terrorist attacks here."

Islam Gone Wild

While the Jihadists' Return Worries Europe, European societies thrash about in the last throes of civilization (as we know it). From the Iris blog

Today's news from Germany buries the fact that the gang rapists of a 13 year-old were likely Arab Muslim immigrants:

I told you immigrant is the euphemism for Muslim. Remember this as you read news account so events surrounding Muslim violence.

Shock in Berlin as Suspected Rapists Freed

Nowhere is the news reported that this is part of a gang rape epidemic sweeping areas with high Arab Muslim immigration.

As is the case with young Arab Muslims throughout the West, teenage girls are generally forbidden to go out, leaving separatist gangs of predatory Arab Muslim males with highly misogynist attitudes. Harassment of females has therefore exploded throughout the West, most shockingly demonstrated in the recent phenomenon of gang rape for sport. Listed below is the evidence.

While these cases are primarily not related to the core group of committed Islamists within Arab Muslim immigrant populations, there is some "trickle-down" of attitudes so it is also worth noting the rape aspects of Jihad ideology as well: The Rape Jihad.

Germany
Shock in Berlin as Suspected Rapists Freed

The youths, aged 13 to 15, allegedly attacked their victim as she walked home from school in the Charlottenburg district which is generally seen as safe area with low crime rates.

While allegedly gang-raping the girl, the youths are reported to have filmed the sexual attack with a mobile phone camera. Media reports say the four later boasted about the rape to other school children and sent copies of the video to friends.

Police who detained the four earlier this week have so far not found any film footage of the alleged rape. There is suspicion the video pictures may have been erased and mobile phones of the suspects are being analysed by experts in a bid to retrieve any pictures

Adding to the potential explosiveness of the alleged rape is the fact that the four suspects are all the children of immigrant families, while the victim is German. The normally well-informed Bild tabloid said the suspects were two German-Turks, a German Russian and a German-Angolan.

Federal police statistics released on Monday show non-German youths under the age of 21 were twice as likely to be crime suspects last year than German nationals of the same age.

Officers in charge of the case are convinced the four youths carried out the gang rape and DNA tests are being carried out on sperm traces found on the victim.

Given the brutality of the attack, there has been anger over a decision by Berlin justice officials to order the youths be set free. The 13-year-old suspect is too young to be kept in detention under German law, but the other three could be held.

Berlin justice Senator Karin Schubert insists, however, that even youths suspected of violent crimes can only be kept locked up if there is danger they will flee justice.France
Racial Gangrape: Another Diversity Disaster

...in more cosmopolitan centers like Paris and Australia, the game is blossoming. It consists in the ritual gang rape of white women by non-white immigrants....The ritual is known as a “tournante,” meaning “Take your turn,” and it consists of a black male becoming “friendly with” (seducing) a white female, preferably a teenager. Once they’ve become chums, the male lures the girl to a location where his buddies in the gang “take their turns” with her. In the case on trial in Paris, it was no fewer than 14 buddies. Unlike many victims of such fun, this young lady lodged a complaint with the police. As a result, she was gangraped a second time—this time, allegedly, by the 11 who went on trial in April....

The incident is not isolated. Police investigations of similar rapes were underway in three other French cities, and one French magistrate says the game has been going on since at least the 1980s. “Their technique was to pick up a young girl—a white girl—and once she had become the girlfriend of one of the members, he would allow his mates to make use of her” France Takes on Plague of Sexual ‘Rite’ (scroll down to see)

Kidnap Accomplice of Ilan Halimi Was Herself a Victim of "Tournante"

Australia

The Australian Sun-Herald reports that police data show that some 70 racially motivated rapes of young white girls, one as young as 13, by Middle Eastern immigrants have taken place in the last two years. “Fifteen youths and men have so far been charged with more than 300 offenses relating to matters since mid-2000 alone. They are all of Middle Eastern extraction. None of those involved is presently before the courts....those in Australia don’t seem to be part of a gang initiation, but they are nonetheless clearly racially driven. “Before being brutalized,” the Australian paper reports, “other victims have reportedly been questioned about their Australian heritage or forced to endure taunts about their attackers’ prowess.” But, like the rapes in France, those in Australia follow a similar pattern in which one non-white male becomes intimate with a white girl, whom he then delivers to his friends for sexual violation, beating and humiliation.See also: Racial Gang-Rape: The Sequel

Sweden
Muslim Rape Epidemic in Sweden and Norway

...doubling of the number of reported rapes by ambush in 2004, following what was already a decade of steadily increasing numbers of sexual crimes

the number of reported rapes against children is on the rise. The figures have nearly doubled in the last ten years: 467 rapes against children under the age of 15 were reported in 2004 compared with 258 in 1995. Legal proceedings continue this week in a case involving a 13 year old girl from Motala who was said to have been subjected to a group rape by four men. (Note: These four men were Kurdish Muslims, who raped the girl for hours and even took photos of doing so).

and Fjordman wrote of the epidemic of rape here;

Swedish girls Malin and Amanda were on their way to a party on New Year's Eve Sweden_rape_1 when they were assaulted, raped and beaten half to death by four Somali immigrants. Sweden's largest newspaper has presented the perpetrators as "two men from Sweden, one from Finland and one from Somalia", a testimony as to how bad the informal censorship is in stories related to immigration in Sweden. Similar incidents are reported with shocking frequency, to the point where some observers fear that law and order is completely breaking down in the country. The number of rape charges in Swedenhas tripled in just above twenty years. Rape cases involving children under the age of 15 are six - 6 - times as common today as they were a generation ago. Most other kinds of violent crime Instability is spreading to most urban and suburban areas.

Norway

Rape charges in the capital are spiraling upwards, 40 percent higher from 1999 to 2000 and up 13 percent so far this year. Police Inspector Gunnar Larsen of Oslo's Vice, Robbery and Violent crime division says the statistics are surprising - the rising number of rape cases and the link to ethnic background are both clear trends....While 65 percent of those charged with rape are classed as coming from a non-western background, this segment makes up only 14.3 percent of Oslo's population. Norwegian women were the victims in 80 percent of the cases, with 20 percent being women of foreign background.Denmark

Alarmed at last week's police statistics, which revealed that in 68% of all rapes committed this year the perpetrator was from an ethnic minority, leading Muslim organisations have now formed an alliance to fight the ever-growing problem of young second and third-generation immigrants involved in rape cases against young Danish girls.

Iran Supplies Missiles to Al Qaeda in Iraq

Do you think we can get our heads out of our asses long enough to see that Iran has declared war on us? They'd rather implode then see a free Iraq.

Iran Providing Heavy Weapons To Al-Qaeda In Iraq

As noted by the Iraqi daily newspaper az-Zaman, the Iranian government is supplying Iraq's al-Qaeda terror cells with the heavy weapons they have previously lacked including advanced anti-aircraft missiles, explosives and BKC machineguns.

The surface to air missiles are of the Russian Strela type.

The newspaper report details that the technology transfer took place after meetings held in Beirut Lebanon between representatives of Iraqi al-Qaeda leader Zarqawi and the Iranian funded terrorist group Hezbollah.

The weapons were provided by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp [IRGC]. Read it all.

In a related story;

Iran Official Warns Against Iraq Crisis AP
Iran's foreign minister warned Thursday against a possible "escalation of the crisis in the region" in discussions with Syria's president about Tehran's nuclear program and the situation in Iraq.

Well they ought to know, they're supplying the weapons that would lead to their prediction of "escalation of crisis." That's what I call a  fulfilled prophecy

Is the Iranian yellow-badges story true? (bumped)

Maybe not. Update: The New York Sun has a report. Sounds like the story is false. Link has been added inside. Update: Debkafile says the story isn’t true — yet. Update: The National Post retreats.

Outfoxing America

Just over a year ago I wrote a post entitled Al Qaeda Tours and Travel, spelling out in clear painful detail exactly how Al Qaeda and other Muslim fundamamentalist groups get their foot soldiers into the United States. This investigative report dated 17 May 2006 entitled "Kingdom of the Illegals" might shed some more light on the picture.
What I find disturbing, and so should you, it that it would take the issue of illegal immigration rather than the issue of national security to convince many Americans that our unsecured borders presented a problem. What many Americans fail to realize is just how serious the problem is and how Al Qaeda and their supporters have been actively infiltrating our borders since 2001.

THE GITMO SUICIDE WAS STAGED

Charles Johnson at LGF has the outrageous details: "The guards were lured into a cell by a staged suicide attempt, then ambushed by the prisoners." He highlights this passage from the Reuters report: “The detainees had slickened the floor of their block with feces, urine and soapy water in an attempt to trip the guards. They then assaulted the guards with broken light fixtures, fan blades and bits of metal,” Which jibes exactly with what I reported last year:

 
 
 
 
Our Friends the Saudis

Nina Shea, director of the Center for Religious Freedom at Freedom House, has a piece for the Washington Post on the hatred and Islamic supremacism that fills Saudi Arabian schoolbooks—and the lies told by Saudi shills to cover it up: This is a Saudi textbook. (After the intolerance was removed.)

  Freedom House knows this because Ali al-Ahmed, a Saudi dissident who runs the Washington-based Institute for Gulf Affairs, gave us a dozen of the current, purportedly cleaned-up Saudi Ministry of Education religion textbooks.  Read the whole thing. Note the line about 12th-grade students being taught their duty is to wage jihad against the infidel.

These are the Saudi students now flooding back into American colleges, as the attacks of September 11 grow ever more distant.

"... nothing short of another 9/11 is going to wake this nation up..."

 
We Don't Need No Stinking Badges

Iranian blogger Arash at Kamangir looked into yesterday’s National Post story that Iran planned to force Jews to wear yellow badges: Kamangir: Badges for Jews, A Hoax! (Hat tip: Adloyada.)

The National Post has also backed down from the story: Experts say report of badges for Jews in Iran is untrue.

LGF noted the questions about the story a few hours after our original post, but I see that quite a few moonbat bloggers are trying to make an issue of this. Just so we’re all on the same page, looking at the same context, reading from the same reality-based netroots script if you will, here’s an LGF Search for “Ahmadinejad,” to remind the left what he’s actually been saying. http://littlegreenfo...
good post made earlier in the day by Catttt on this subject

UPDATE at 5/20/06 8:40:33 pm:

Here’s Allahpundit’s post on the story, with numerous updates: Is the Iranian yellow-badges story true? Oh yeah, that’s really somebody trying to hype a phony story.

LGF noted the questions about the story a few hours after our original post, but I see that quite a few moonbat bloggers are trying to make an issue of this.

What a shame those moonbat bloggers didn't read any of the first 49 posts in the original thread. If they had, they would have seen two posts in particular:

Fifteen minutes after Charles posted the thread, I posted #34.

Four minutes later, got milk? posted the same link at #49.

Other posters also posted links to articles questioning the report.

Less than 20 minutes passed before the accuracy of the original report was questioned in the comments. Charles took less than 4 hours to update the story.

In other words, the blogosphere worked. Information was posted, questioned and doubts noted - in next to time at all.

Thanks again backhoe for the extraordinary work you do. I just wish there was some way to force our "leaders" to read this.

You posed the question of how many terrorists come across our border. My question is why doesn't Bush and the others care? What's in it for Bush and the pubbies to let our country be overrun with illegals?

Thanks for stopping by, and the encouraging words.

I can't speak for the President, but politicians in general- both sides- seem to have "chicken hypnotized by the snake" aspect about them over illegal immigration-- I think it's a mix of votes, power, and money, coupled to a dread of being labeled "racist" that make the putty in its gaze.

Al-Qaida funded by Christian-slave trade

No matter how the spineless, dickless left portrays the enemy "why do they hate us?"  - remember, this is the enemy.  And they would  grab your kid so fast your head would spin.

"I saw a post on Michelle Malkin, 2 Saudis (age 20 and 23) BOARDED A SCHOOL BUS in Florida, my blood ran cold...... and then they lied about their reason! check it out, there's pictures of these bastards... Do we want a Beslan (russian grade school) massacre here? "

SOMETHING DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT...

...with the story of the two lying Saudi men who boarded a school bus in Florida. And it is not racist to say so.

***scroll for updates... BAIL FOR SAUDIS REVOKED***

We have plenty of reason to be concerned about young Saudi men on student visas purportedly studying English.

We have plenty of reason to be concerned about possible terrorism operatives in south Florida.

And we have plenty of reason to be concerned about terror attacks on schoolchildren and buses.

Almanajam and Alsidran lied to Florida sheriff's officials. What else have they lied about? The State Department, JTTF, and DHS better be taking a close look at their student visa applications.
